1326 The Paranoid Fellow Daoist Feng and the Two Crazies (2)
Right at this moment, red fog churned in the distant horizon and the bloody aura was reflected in their perceptions again.
Moreover, it had clearly been formed not long ago and was spreading at this moment.
Xu Qing’s expression instantly darkened. The captain’s eyes also flickered with ferocity.
The two of them circulated their cultivation bases in their eyes, looking at the blood mist.
The blue light in the captain’s eyes spread out, while Xu Qing’s eyes were pitch-black and restrained. Both of their gazes contained the power to penetrate and break through the fog’s obstruction to see the scene of purgatory in the fog.
“That is…” The captain paused and his voice was filled with surprise.
Xu Qing also frowned.
Under their gazes, they saw the source of the fog.
It was a small race’s city.
This city was surrounded by blood mist and was completely silent. There was no sign of life at all. What was left were 99 bone towers that were piled up by countless corpses.
Every tower had nearly ten thousand corpses.
This small race was actually slaughtered and piled up into towers. Moreover, the third eye on the forehead of every clansman was dug out.
The thick stench of blood came from this small race which had a third eye on their foreheads.
Such dense blood formed this blood fog.
“Blood Sacrifice!”
The captain mumbled.
“The souls of this race’s members have all been extracted. This blood sacrifice method isn’t like a sacrificial ritual to gods, but more like refining some astonishingly powerful treasure.”
Xu Qing’s gaze swept across the city as he spoke in a deep voice.
“From the looks of it, the blood fog in Liaoxuan County also formed like this.”
The captain nodded. After carefully sizing up the blood fog, he suddenly spoke.
“However, the blood fog wasn’t taken away. Clearly, the person who did this hasn’t completed the refinement…”
“It doesn’t have anything to do with us. We should continue forward at full speed and return to the human race first. There’s no need for us to participate in the matters here.”
The captain looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing naturally didn’t have overwhelming sympathy for the nonhuman races. When he heard this, he nodded and put away the great wing. They then circulated their cultivation bases and sped forward.
At the same time, in an area not far from here, Feng and Lan Yao, who were refining the lives of a native race, stepped into the void.
“All the blood sacrifices have been completed and the requirements have been met. This way, there will be no more obstacles to entering that place.”
Feng looked at the blood banner in his hand. At this moment, a rare hint of excitement appeared in his gloomy eyes.
“Twenty million souls, including mortals and cultivators, drawn into a sea of blood and corpses. Such methods, if used in the holy land, would be a grave taboo, inviting soul annihilation. But Fellow Daoist Feng, in pursuit of that object, seems to have thrown caution to the wind.”
Lan Yao calmly spoke.
“Fellow Daoist Lan, you don’t have to mock me. I’m not doing this only for myself. After obtaining that item, won’t your benefits be equally great?
“Moreover, in the holy land, I naturally wouldn’t dare to do this. However, it’s different here. Also, Fellow Daoist Lan, don’t forget the agreement between us after we succeed. Don’t go back on your word and not abide by it. Otherwise…”
Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Lan Yao.
“Fellow Daoist Feng is too suspicious. If everything is really as you said, I won’t go back on our agreement.”
Lan Yao smiled slightly.
Feng nodded. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly darkened. He raised his head and looked into the distance as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
“Again?”
“A few days ago, when they first appeared, I thought they were just passing through, so it was normal for them to choose to leave. But now, they’ve changed their route and reappeared.”
“Although it’s possible that they are really passing by, it’s also possible that these two… have ulterior motives!”
“Also, they sensed the blood sacrifice. It’s hard to guarantee that they won’t spread this matter after they leave.”
Feng frowned. He had a suspicious personality to begin with and the plan was too important. Seeing someone appearing again and again, all kinds of thoughts couldn’t help but arise in his mind.
Finally, the suspicions turned into killing intent.
‘To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I will just kill these two Nihility!’
At the thought of this, Feng headed straight for the distance. Lan Yao’s gaze flickered slightly as she chose to follow behind.
In an instant, the two of them disappeared without a trace.
A day later, in an area that was still two days away from the human race’s borders, the sky suddenly darkened in front of Xu Qing and the captain’s speeding figures. Bolts of lightning rumbled down and a shocking storm appeared out of thin air.
A cold snort also followed the storm.
“The two of you, stay!”
With the appearance of the sound, a huge hand of wind and lightning stretched out from the storm and grabbed at Xu Qing and Erniu.
This hand blotted out half of the sky. It was majestic and filled with destructive power. Wherever it passed, lightning flashed wildly.
Xu Qing and the captain paused. Their expressions changed drastically and they retreated, but it was too late.
That large hand landed and directly enveloped Xu Qing and Erniu. After grabbing them, it ruthlessly squeezed.
With a boom, Xu Qing and the captain instantly collapsed.
“Hmm?”
Almost at the instant they collapsed, a surprised voice rang out from the storm. After that, two people walked out. They were none other than Feng and Lan Yao.
Looking at the minced flesh revealed in the large hand of wind and lightning, Feng looked gloomy.
“These are flesh puppets, and not their true bodies.”
“However, do you really think you can escape with such a small trick?”
Feng let out a cold snort and performed a one-handed seal. He turned blurry and he appeared in the distance as he continued to pursue.
At the same time, within the range of half a day’s journey from here, Xu Qing and the captain’s expressions changed.
“My two flesh puppets have been destroyed. This means they have hostility toward us. We’re still two days away from the human race. We might not make it in time.”
A cold glint appeared in the captain’s eyes.
Xu Qing didn’t speak. His gaze swept across the ground and landed on a short mountain. With a sway, he descended and stood at the top of the mountain. With a wave of his hand, countless soul threads spread out and fused into the surroundings.
There were also restrictions that spread out and hid in the surroundings.
After that, the Grand Mystic Heaven armor appeared on his body. At the same time, he flipped his hand and a blood-red dagger appeared in his hand.
This dagger was carved with mysterious patterns that formed a sinister face. At that moment, it appeared and bit Xu Qing’s palm.
Xu Qing calmly let the sinister face swallow a mouthful of his blood. After swallowing the blood, that sinister face revealed madness and hid in the dagger. With another squeeze, the dagger fused into his palm and disappeared.
Only the sound of breathing could be heard from Xu Qing’s palm.
This voice was heavy and filled with desire. It was extremely bizarre.
It was the Spirit Devouring Blade that Xu Qing had been rewarded with after he obtained the identity of Grand Mystic Heaven.
After doing this, Xu Qing raised his head with killing intent in his eyes.
“Since that’s the case, let’s fight.”
The captain laughed sinisterly and landed beside Xu Qing. His entire body emitted a resplendent blue light that spread out abruptly.
After covering a radius of 50 kilometers, it flashed and disappeared.
After that, overlapping bizarre faces emerged in his eyes. Moreover, for the first time, they left his gaze and appeared outside, forming over a hundred illusory faces that moved around the surroundings in a concealed state.
After that, he punched his chest. Immediately, a deep roar that shook one’s mind rang out from his back. A sarcoma grew there until a blue bony grasp broke it open from inside.
Xu Qing’s expression changed when he saw this hand. He could sense the danger it emitted.
This grasp swayed in the air and concealed itself.
This wasn’t the end. The captain gritted his teeth and pressed down on the back of his neck. With a pull, he actually extracted his spine.
His body went limp, but soon regained support, and his grin became even more grim.
“Junior Brother, there’s something I didn’t say earlier.”
“I smell treasures.”
“It smells delicious.”
As the captain spoke, he licked his lips and madness flashed in his eyes.
When Xu Qing heard this, his heart stirred. After some thought, he performed a series of grasp seals. Immediately, the shadow under him became blurry and spread out. At the same time, seven lanterns emerged behind him and instantly fused into his body.
He then closed his eyes.
Two hours later, Xu Qing opened his eyes. The madness in the captain’s gaze intensified. The two of them raised their heads at the same time and gazed at the sky.
In the sky, blood clouds emerged and churned in all directions. As lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, a man and a woman walked out.
