840 Young People Do Not Observe Martial Virtues! (3)
The piercing sound created ripples that spread through the air with a formidable force.
Xu Qing retreated swiftly. The shadow secretly spread out as he held the fishbone in his hand. Murderous intent filled his heart.
He knew that he had to end the battle as soon as possible. If he were to attract more opponents, escaping would become incredibly difficult. In an instant, wings formed on his back, propelling him forward with astonishing speed as he charged towards the incoming enemy.
The Heavenly Mask Race cultivator sneered and rushed forward.
However, before the two sides could touch again, Xu Qing’s pupils suddenly constricted. He saw a blurry figure silently appearing behind the Heavenly Mask Race cultivator.
There were no signs at all. while the Heavenly Mask Race cultivator remained completely unaware, the figure suddenly lifted its left hand and placed it near its mouth, gesturing Xu Qing to remain quiet.
It then pressed down on the head of the Heavenly Mask Race cultivator.
A cultivation base infinitely close to the Spirit Repository flashed from this figure. The Heavenly Mask Race cultivator couldn’t resist at all. The moment he sensed it, the horror on the mask turned eternal.
With a bang, his tall body directly collapsed. It was the same for his seven nascent souls. All of them shattered except for the mask on his face.
Countless pieces of flesh and blood as well as the spirit flesh of nascent souls were drawn toward the mask. After the mask turned blood-colored, the blurry figure grabbed it.
“My luck isn’t bad. This little fellow from the Heavenly Mask Race is indeed a noble. He allowed me to collect another heavenly eye.”
When the hoarse voice rang out from the blurry figure, Xu Qing retreated as though he was facing a great enemy.
That figure also became a little clearer at this moment.
This was a skinny old man who looked like a skeleton. His eyes were cold and he gave off a fierce aura. However, from the looks of it, he was a human.
He glanced at Xu Qing.
“A human from another region?”
Xu Qing was extremely vigilant. He took a few steps back and the Poison Restriction power surrounded his entire body. His fishbone was hidden and the shadow hid in the flames, spreading in the surroundings without revealing anything.
The pressure this human old man gave Xu Qing was extremely great.
The other party’s cultivation level seemed to be at the Spirit Repository Realm but it also didn’t seem to be. Clearly, he was concealing his cultivation base. However, no matter what, he was at least at the Perfected Fifth Tribulation Nascent Soul Realm.
Xu Qing couldn’t judge this person’s intention. Hence, he chose not to answer.
He didn’t believe that the other party would continue to stay here after killing a member of the Heavenly Mask Race.
Xu Qing’s judgment wasn’t wrong. As the old man spoke, his gaze swept through the surroundings. After that, he looked at Xu Qing again.
He didn’t seem to care about Xu Qing’s silence. Instead, he lifted his right hand and performed a series of hand seals. Immediately, fluctuations of human bloodline erupted from the two of them at the same time.
Seeing this, the old man’s expression softened slightly.
“Kid, seeing that you’re also a human, let me remind you. Hurry up and place the heavenly fire crystals in your storage bag in this box if you don’t want to be chased by the entire Heavenly Fire Sea cultivators.”
As the old man spoke, he threw out a black jade box that floated on the magma.
The material of this jade box was special. It was actually not invaded or damaged by the magma.
“10,000 spirit stones, it includes the information fee and the price for the box!” The old man stared at Xu Qing.
At that moment, an aura erupted in the distance and was approaching.
Xu Qing didn’t say anything else. He took out a storage bag and threw it over before leaving immediately with an extremely fast speed.
“You don’t want the box?” Just as the old man spoke, the box that was on the magma suddenly disappeared.
This scene caused the old human to raise his brows.
“You have some tricks up your sleeve.”
With that, he turned and sped away in another direction, instantly disappearing without a trace.
There were very few times when kindness came suddenly. Hence, Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief when the old man asked for spirit stones. However, his vigilance naturally wouldn’t decrease.
As he left, he focused on hiding his aura and observing his surroundings. After confirming that the other party didn’t chase after him, he let go of the poison that he had spread everywhere.
This was another confirmation.
As for the black box, he had gotten the shadow to envelop it and take it away.
As he sped, the shadow emitted fluctuations of emotions to him. It verified that there were no hidden arrangements on the box. It was just a box made of a special material.
Only then did Xu Qing take it and check it again. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he released the Poison Restriction and circulated it in the box. Only then did he feel relieved.
He then dove into the magma and placed all the 30-odd red crystals into the box.
“According to my previous judgment and the words of the Heavenly Mask Race member, I have heavenly fire crystals on me? In that case, there’s a high chance that they are these red crystals formed by the remnants of the life lantern.”
“This box can block its aura?”
“I have to verify it as soon as possible.”
As Xu Qing pondered, he flew out of the magma. Since the Heavenly Mask Race could see under the magma, there wasn’t much meaning in moving under the magma.
A dark glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes as he left.
Just like that, four days passed.
In these four days, perhaps the box was really useful. Although Xu Qing encountered nonhuman cultivators, most of them ignored him and flew past. Occasionally, there would be a few who wanted to stop him and check but they were instantly killed by Xu Qing.
He also obtained a compass and more than one black box.
This item seemed very ordinary. Most of the cultivators here had it. Some of them were empty, while others had a few white stones.
Xu Qing tested his thoughts in a place with no one around. He discovered that once he took the red crystal out of the box, it would be revealed on the compass. After he stored it, it would disappear from the compass.
