out of time

Chapter 43
In the ruined city, the stone cave where Xu Qing lived was covered with bird feathers, mixed with an unpleasant smell.

The stones and sundries that he used to block the gaps on the side have been severely corroded by heterogeneity.

There was more dust around than when he left.

Obviously, even if a restricted area is formed, there will be scavengers coming to explore one after another, but his shelter is too secret, so after he left, no one came.

So the smell of dust and decay was continuously passed into Xu Qing's nostrils, but he didn't care.

At this moment, Xu Qing is sitting cross-legged in meditation, the Sea Mountain Art in his body is in full swing, and after gaining momentum, he is attacking the seventh floor with all his strength.

In the outside world, roars and strange and shrill sounds, mixed with creepy cries, echoed continuously, which made Xu Qing look in a trance for a moment, creating an illusion.

As if, back to half a year ago.

At that time, when the gods opened their eyes and the rain of blood fell, I was struggling to survive alone in this city full of bones.

Xu Qing was silent.

After a long while, the past events no longer appeared in his mind, and his mind was completely immersed in the practice. With the continuous operation of the cultivation base in his body, the surrounding spiritual energy slowly gathered and rushed into the pores of his body.

The sound of bang bang also gradually reverberated in his body, the sound became louder and louder, and later turned into a roar that circled in his mind.

Accompanied by the roar, came the black impurities secreted from the sweat pores all over his body, and these impurities became more and more dense.

And with the secretion, the body under Xu Qing's clothes also burst out amazing power in the flesh and blood at this moment.

His blood vessels were all swollen, his flesh and blood were constantly being torn and compressed, and his bones also made sounds.

After an hour, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly opened with a thunderous sound in his mind, and purple light burst out from his pupils.

Even at this moment behind him, Kui Ying appeared again.

But this time... his Kuiying is completely different from before!
The whole body is darker, the body is thicker, and even the top of the head is no longer a single horn, but two horns like a cow appear, and the shape is spiral, and black lightning is faintly lingering at the tip.

The face is even more ferocious, with the bloody mouth open, it seems to be able to swallow ghosts alive.

Especially the sharp claws, combined with the purple pupils, exude a thrilling ferocity.

The powerful fluctuations spread from this Kui Ying, as if they could penetrate the cave and shake the surroundings.

Kui Ying, Dacheng!
This is a change that can only occur during the Great Perfection of the Sea Mountain Jue. If someone else has practiced to this level, they are already at the Great Perfection of the Qi Condensation Realm, and cannot be further improved. Now with Xu Qing, it is only the seventh. Floor.

As for his body, it also changed greatly at this moment. His body was obviously more slender and more refined, and the purple light in his eyes lasted longer than before.

Especially his face...

If he was already extremely handsome at the sixth level of the Sea Mountain Art, then Xu Qing at this moment, under the purple eyes, even though his face is covered with dirt, seems to be not far away from Yaoyi.

But Xu Qing didn't care about these, what he cared about was the power bursting out of his body at this moment.

So soon he lowered his head and looked at the bulging blood vessels on his slowly clenched fist, and the same bulging veins on his arms.

As the purple light in his eyes slowly dissipated, he already felt his own strength very clearly...

More than double than before!
"The power of a leader?" Xu Qing murmured, looking around.

It was pitch black outside, and there was no light inside the cave. Although Xu Qing could barely see everything at the moment, he couldn't see any shadows.

But in perception, he could feel the existence of the shadow, so after pondering, he tried to control it.

After a stick of incense, Xu Qing's eyes revealed a touch of excitement and wonder.

In his perception, his control over the shadow is much better than before, and he can even control it subtly, allowing the heterogeneity contained in the shadow to return part of it to the body.

Although it is useless to do so, it can also indirectly prove that his control over the shadow is more flexible.

All of this made Xu Qing feel that with his current fighting strength, if he ever met the camp master again, he would not need the God Statue Heavenly Saber at all, just one punch... would be able to break the camp master's arm at the eighth level of body training.

"But it's a pity that facing the ancestor of the Vajra Sect, there is still a big gap."

Xu Qing shook his head. Although he didn't really fight against the opponent, the escape along the way and the shadow of the fist from the Vajra Sect ancestor made him very clear about the gap.

So even if there is a shadow that catches him by surprise, Xu Qing is still very clear that it is impossible for him now to have the power to fight against Foundation Establishment.

"However, if I encounter those two nine-layer condensed gas, I can kill them."

A cold light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, and he followed the exit of the cave and looked outside.

The roars and strange voices in the ears came one after another, suddenly far and near, forming a sharp contrast with the silence in the cave.

This scene made Xu Qing feel as if he had returned to half a year ago. He instinctively took out the iron stick, slowly grasped it, and pondered in his heart where to go.

If he leaves now, he feels that there is a high probability that he will be able to reach Antler City smoothly.

But...Xu Qing was a little unwilling, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Don't kill those people, this kind of hidden danger makes people very disturbed." Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, and a map of the entire city appeared in his mind.

He is very familiar with this city.

At this moment, with the emergence of streets one by one, whether it is the sleeping place of strange beasts or the shelter of flying birds, they all clearly appeared in his mind, and he began to analyze them.

"City Lord's Mansion!" After a while, Xu Qing murmured, his eyes full of coldness.

He was going to try to leave the city first, and if he didn't meet someone from the Vajra Sect on the way, that's all. Once he did, he would fight back according to the established method.

Feeling the roaring sound from outside, Xu Qing looked decisive after moving from near to far, moved away the sundries blocking the entrance, and slowly got out.

The entrance of this crack is narrow, Xu Qing has grown a little now, and he was a bit reluctant to go out, but he looked as usual, after squeezing out vigorously, even if his body was scratched, this injury will heal soon.

After getting out, Xu Qing was vigilant in his heart. Looking at the darkness around him, he rushed out with a flick of his body, and proceeded carefully in this ruined city.

This kind of caution even exceeds his state in the deep jungle of the restricted area.

In fact, compared to there, there are more strange beasts and weirdness in the city at night.

Fortunately, Xu Qing understood the structure of the city, so although he encountered danger along the way, he avoided most of them with his own speed and familiarity.

If it is really impossible to avoid it, he will quickly resolve it and go away again.

Just like that, Xu Qing walked carefully in the city for more than an hour under the strong heterogeneity. When he was about to approach the edge, he suddenly heard a roar in the distance.

This voice made Xu Qing's eyes narrow.

In the dark night, his lone wolf-like eyes sharpened at this moment, and he approached the place where the sound came from. After burning an incense stick, he saw two figures being chased by seven or eight strange beasts.

These two are the elders of the Vajra Sect.

They arrived at the city after Xu Qing and the ancestor entered the city for a while.

It was already late at night when they arrived, so after hesitation and weighing, they did not choose to enter the depths, but hid at the edge and waited.

It's just that there are too many strange and strange beasts in the city, and their hiding places are not the relatively safe shelters found by birds, so encounters are inevitable.

Because they didn't want to cause too much fluctuation and attract more strange beasts, the two of them avoided as much as they could, and only shot if they couldn't.

Their cautious behavior, coupled with their impressive strength, made it sufficient to deal with attacks even if they were attacked now.

At this moment, they were galloping, and they were about to throw off the strange beast behind them, but at this moment, a cold light came from a distance in an instant.

The speed was so fast that in the dark night, it was like an arrow leaving the string, whizzing straight to the elder of the Vajra Sect ahead.

This person is not the one who fought against Xu Qing before, but a latecomer who followed the ancestor of the Vajra Sect.

His complexion changed immediately, and he pushed forward with both hands, and suddenly there was a roar of ice around him, and he was more protective and solidified to block the coming cold light.

But this cold light was so powerful that it pierced through the ice in an instant and directly pierced his protection.

While the spiritual energy fluctuated violently, his protection showed signs of shattering, but it was still blocked after all, and it also made him see clearly that what attacked him was a black iron stick!

This scene made the Vajra Sect elder's eyes shrink, and he suddenly turned his head to look at his companion behind him. He was about to take action, but it was still too late.

The moment he was attacked here, a black shadow turned into a black lightning bolt from the alley next to him, approaching another elder behind this person in an instant.

This shadow is Xu Qing.

The previous iron sign was a cover-up, the first target Xu Qing really wanted to deal with was the middle-aged man who had his left foot smashed in a fight with him!

At this moment, Xu Qing's speed broke out in full swing, much faster than when he was on the sixth floor of the Sea Mountain Art, and there was a sharp wind sound as he galloped at high speed, and he arrived beside the injured middle-aged monk in an instant.

The middle-aged monk was injured, and the restricted area was full of heterogeneity, so he couldn't continue to fly into the air, so compared with his companions, his steps were slightly staggering.

Facing danger at this moment, his eyes widened, and a strong life-and-death crisis rose in his heart. His body suddenly backed up and wanted to dodge, but Xu Qing could not give him a chance. The moment he was approaching, his body jumped up instantly, his right hand clenched into a fist, and slammed towards him. punch.

Whether it was speed or strength, Xu Qing used all his strength for this punch.

At this moment, when he hit it, a ferocious Kuiying immediately appeared behind him, and when he let out a silent roar to frighten all directions, he gathered in Xu Qing's fist.

The moment the fist was swung, the air seemed to explode, and under the crackling sound, it seemed to contain the force of suppression, and it landed on the middle-aged monk's chest amidst Kuiying's hideousness.

The protection in front of the middle-aged monk shattered in an instant, and Xu Qing's fist hit his chest like a broken bamboo.

The loud noise shook the sky, and it suddenly reverberated in this silent city.

Accompanied by a shrill scream, the middle-aged cultivator whose left foot was shattered spewed blood wildly, his chest was deeply sunken, his internal organs were about to collapse and shatter at this moment, and his figure rolled back uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string .

But after all, he has nine levels of condensed energy. At this moment, his expression is terrified and his injuries are suppressed. The flying rune on his right leg flashes suddenly, and the force of flight spreads, causing his falling body to twist, and he is about to fly into the air to escape.

But in the next moment, the cold light rose again, and a long sword roared towards him, and it was approaching instantly, cutting directly across his right leg.

When the blood erupted and the screams echoed in all directions, his right leg, which was attached to the flying talisman, was instantly separated from his body.

But before the person who lost his right leg landed, Xu Qing rushed out again with force from his thigh. The moment he rushed out, the ground where he was just now was pierced by a large number of ice blades formed by another person's spell.

While passing each other, Xu Qing caught up with the falling middle-aged monk in mid-air without even looking behind him. In his despair, he punched with his right hand loudly.

Kuiying roared, merged into his fist, and rushed towards the middle-aged monk ferociously.

It directly hit the person's forehead.

With a bang, the middle-aged cultivator's body trembled wildly, his head burst open, blood splashed everywhere, and he died!
The corpse fell to the ground, and was rushed up by those chasing beasts, tearing it apart.

Without the slightest pause, Xu Qing tore off the flying talisman on the broken leg on the ground, and turned to look not far away at another Vajra Sect elder with a pale complexion and horrified eyes.

After licking his lips, Xu Qing's wolf-like eyes flashed coldly, and he rushed towards the elder.

kill!
