937 The Consequences of Robbing Wealth and Beauty (4)
Seeing this, Xu Qing confirmed his sincerity and gave him a quick death.
He slit his neck.
With a wave of his hand, the one-eyed cultivator’s body collapsed and turned into ashes.
The other party looked like a human but when Xu Qing attacked, he sensed that this person was a nonhuman. In reality, no matter what race he was from, it had nothing to do with life and death.
If Xu Qing’s cultivation was weak, he would be the one in this tragic state. Ling’er would also be snatched away and her outcome would be even more miserable.
After dealing with it, Xu Qing picked up the storage bag and left this place.
At the same time, in a cave a few hundred kilometers away from the place where the two of them were fighting, an old man was sitting cross-legged.
The attire of this old man also covered his entire body, but his face was exposed, filled with wrinkles.
At that moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a large mouthful of blood. His body swayed, and he reached out to grab a nearby rock. He felt suffocated and couldn’t hold back spewing out blood again.
After spewing seven or eight times in a row, his body trembled, and his eyes revealed an intense and utmost fear. He swiftly turned his head to look into the distance.
“I’ve finally escaped this calamity. It’s just that the price is too great… That tethered body of mine…”
The old man wore a bitter expression. As a member of the Tether Race, he possessed the innate ability to refine the enemies he killed into mummies, filling them with his flesh and blood. After refining them, they would become a special tethered body of his race.
This tethered body was similar to a clone but more agile and extremely difficult to discern.
On regular days, he had gained quite a lot through this method.
This was his reliance, and in the past, when he encountered formidable opponents, he would escape in this manner. However, the tethered body he sacrificed this time was his primary one, intricately linked to his consciousness. The death of his tethered body had inflicted serious injury upon him.
At that moment, his internal organs were all shattered.
In addition, he felt that the person he encountered today was different from the experts he had faced in the past. The feeling of fear and trepidation was incomparably intense.
“No, with that person’s shrewdness, there’s still a chance that he discerned something.”
The old man’s heart palpitated. He gritted his teeth and rushed out while enduring the heavy injuries. He didn’t dare to stay here and fled into the distance. He also used various methods to hide.
Two hours after he fled, Xu Qing’s figure arrived outside this cave. The shadow entered first. After the shadow checked the interior, Xu Qing walked in and stared at the blood on the ground.
Previously, when he left after killing, he felt that something was amiss. The other party’s nascent souls contained too little heavenly mandates and the baleful aura of the heavenly demon bodies the nascent souls transformed into was too dense.
This reminded him of the other party’s messy magic artifacts and the matter of turning someone into a dried corpse and sealing the nascent souls. Hence, Xu Qing suspected that the person he killed might not be his main body.
After all, there were so many races with all kinds of innate talents. Anything could happen. Hence, Xu Qing spread out his perception all the way and used the other party’s heavenly demon bodies to find this place.
“He fled quite quickly.”
Xu Qing walked out of the cave abode and coldly looked in all directions. The other party’s tracks had clearly been hidden many times, especially since the green wind obscured everything. Even the heavenly demon bodies couldn’t sense him again.
“Consider him lucky. I’ll finish him next time,” Xu Qing turned and headed for the distance. After leaving the area, he found a mountain nook, checked that it was clear, and a contemplative expression crossed his face.
He pondered the truthfulness of what the other had said. From a logical standpoint, the most crucial elements for the other person at the time were self-preservation and the secrecy of his primary body’s existence.
In situations like this, the typical choice is to tell the truth to keep the secret hidden. If it was a lie and it was suspected, it could lead to suspicions about everything else.
“Therefore, there’s a high chance that it’s true. I can give it a try!”
Xu Qing’s gaze was filled with determination as he took out a mirror.
After killing the Mirror Image Race, he had retained some mirrors of the cultivators he had killed. He was originally going to research them, but at this moment, he took one out and began to try it according to the method the one-eyed cultivator had mentioned.
“The Red Moon isn’t eternal; hope is what lasts forever.”
Almost at the instant Xu Qing’s voice rang out, the mirror in his hand suddenly trembled. A will as vast as the sky echoed in Xu Qing’s mind.
