Chapter 137: Demon Cultivator
Today's third update!
――――――――――――.
Fire Grass grows in the depths of volcanoes, and only active volcanoes that erupt often can find their traces, Xu Qing wants to refine the Detoxification Pill, there is no other way but to go to those dangerous volcanoes.
The Longyan Mountains, with their towering and undulating mountains, are completely a world of fire, with volcanic eruptions almost all year round. It is rumored that in ancient times, Longyan Mountain was the resting place of Yanlong, and it was completely a forbidden place for monks.
The Longyan Mountain Range is about two months away from Poison Flame City, Xu Qing's first stop is there, the Longyan Mountain Range is full of volcanoes, and the chance of the appearance of Fire Grass is extremely high.
Out of Poison Flame City, Xu Qing flew quickly to the south.
An hour later, Xu Qing was already hundreds of miles away from Poison Flame City, and Xu Qing, who was originally flying rapidly, slowly stopped his figure, and then hovered quietly in the air, as if waiting for someone.
A black light shot out rapidly from the direction of Poison Flame City, and in just a few breaths, that black light swept behind Xu Qing.
Xu Qing turned around and looked at the man in black not far away calmly, a trace of jealousy flashed in the depths of his pupils, but he concealed it very well, and the man in black did not notice it.
The man in black was surrounded by black air, and he couldn't see his figure clearly, and a thick black mist was surging on his face, covering his face tightly.
The swirling black qi well illustrates the identity of the man in black, this is a demon cultivator, and he is a demon cultivator with considerable strength. Since ancient times, the good and the evil have not been opposed, and the two sides have attacked each other, and the demon path can survive, which naturally also explains the means of demon cultivators.
"Your Excellency has been following, I don't know why?" Xu Qing asked, his face was very calm, and he didn't see the slightest look of fear.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" The man in black did not answer Xu Qing's question, but asked in a hoarse voice, although he tried his best to hide it, he could tell from his voice that the other party was a middle-aged man.
"Is it because Your Excellency's cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building? Many times, cultivation does not represent the strength of strength, and it is not uncommon for the weak to defeat the strong. Xu Qing's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed the origin of the other party.
"Hehe, sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but he dared not to take me in his eyes at the early stage of foundation building. The man in black said with a strange smile, and after speaking, a powerful momentum suddenly erupted from his body, and the monstrous demonic energy rolled around him, and the rolling demonic clouds in the sky were surging.
The monstrous momentum squeezed towards Xu Qing, as if to make him kneel down and submit, and as if to tear him to pieces, if his cultivation was a little weaker at this moment, I am afraid that it would be difficult to control his balance and fall from the sky.
Xu Qing snorted coldly, and the originally hidden cultivation instantly rose to the middle stage of foundation building, and a momentum that was not inferior to the man in black erupted from his body, and the monstrous momentum contained his will, a will to dare to compete with the sky. The momentum and will are compatible, and they are equal to the momentum of the man in black.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, you would be promoted from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, no wonder you are so arrogant. The man in black dissipated the momentum on his body, and even the demonic energy surging around his body and face gradually dissipated, revealing his figure and face.
"Sure enough, it's you. Xu Qing snorted coldly, this man in black was the middle-aged man who was competing with him for water in the Blue Heart Auction House, Xu Qing felt the murderous intent flashing in the middle-aged man's eyes that day, but Xu Qing didn't know how the man in black found him, could it be that all his actions had been under the surveillance of the man in black?
"Aren't you surprised? Don't you want to know how I know that you went out of the city today?" the man in black asked, at this time he was not in a hurry to make a move, Xu Qing's bland reaction made him feel like he had nowhere to start, he hoped that Xu Qing would show curiosity, so that he could have a sense of accomplishment.
"I was worried, after I left Poison Flame City, you will attack my nephew and niece, now it seems that there is no need to worry. As for how you know I'm out of town today, you like to say it or not. Xu Qing said with a smile.
"Hmph, how could I do such a thing. The man in black said angrily.
Xu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Zi Xuan and Liu Ying were safe and sound, but the Demon Dao Cultivator really couldn't deal with it with common sense, wasn't it a matter of the next thing to come to him because of Shui Linglong's matter?
"Then what do you want to do now?" Now that the matter he cared about had been confirmed, Xu Qing was not in the mood to continue to entangle with the man in black, and asked directly to the point.
"If you give me Shui Linglong, you and I can write it off, how about it?" The man in black remembered the momentum that Xu Qing had erupted before, and estimated that Xu Qing was not easy to deal with, so he said, not choosing to do it directly.
"Do you think it's possible?" Xu Qing rolled his eyes, how could there be such a good thing in this world.
"In that case, I'll kill you and get it myself. The man in black snorted coldly, but as soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant sword qi shot towards him, as if it was about to split him into two pieces.
The man in black snorted angrily, he didn't dodge, the demonic qi around his body surged, and a pitch-black palm was clenched into a fist, smashing towards the brilliant sword qi. The sword qi collided with the black fist, and several cracks first appeared on the sword qi, and then slowly shattered, turning into crystal fragments, dissipating between heaven and earth.
It's just that the sword qi has just dissipated, and several more sword qi slashes towards him. The man in black didn't dare to hold it up, although his hand was fine, but it still hurt faintly. Before the sword qi arrived, he hurriedly flashed towards the general, and at the same time held up the protective aura.
Xu Qing had heard that the body of a demon cultivator was much stronger than that of an ordinary monk, especially after being infused with demonic qi, but he didn't expect that this man in black could really shake the sword qi with his flesh and blood, although it was just an ordinary sword qi, but it was completely enough to tear apart the monk's body.
After the man in black dodged the sword qi, he quickly took out a cyan spear from the storage bag. The spear was about a man tall, with a silver head and a very simple shape. The man in black held a spear in one hand, quite a posture of being a man who could not be opened.
On the top-level spirit sword in Xu Qing's hand, dozens of brilliant sword qi suddenly burst out, and the sword qi intertwined into a sword net, advancing in the direction of the man in black, threatening to smash him.
The man in black did not retreat, but advanced, and the demonic energy in his right hand surged into the spear, and the silver-white spearhead of the spear instantly turned black. He was holding a spear, and when he approached the sword net, the spear was raised, and then it stirred violently, and the sword qi suddenly shattered.
After smashing the sword net, the man in black hurriedly swept towards Xu Qing, he obviously intended to melee with Xu Qing.
Xu Qing saw the man in black coming, he had no experience in close combat, so he hurriedly stepped back, and at the same time took out a spirit fan, ready to choose the right time to strike at any time.
The man in black had not yet approached Xu Qing, holding a spear and stabbing at Xu Qing, and a pitch-black spear phantom burst out from the spear, shooting towards Xu Qing rapidly. Before the spear phantom arrived, Xu Qing felt a coercion, and the sharp momentum seemed to pierce him ruthlessly.
Xu Qingling's sword slashed fiercely on the spear phantom, and the spear phantom shattered in response, but the man in black took this opportunity to sweep not far in front of Xu Qing, this time he directly stabbed Xu Qing, and the black spear was full of demonic energy.
It was too late for Xu Qing to retreat at this time, so he could only hold the spirit sword to hold the spear. The spear and the spirit sword clashed together in an instant, and the sharp sonorous sound shook the eardrums, and there was a burst of force from the spear, almost making Xu Qing unable to hold it, and he wanted to let go of the spirit sword in his hand. At the same time, a dark energy also attacked Xu Qing's body from the spirit sword, wanting to wreak havoc on his meridians, Xu Qing did not dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized the true yuan to force the dark energy out of his body.
The man in black had too much experience in close combat, and Xu Qing suffered a loss in just one confrontation. Xu Qing also made up his mind that he must not give the man in black a chance to get close again.
With the help of the huge force from the spirit sword, Xu Qing quickly retreated, and at the same time, the spirit fan in front of him slapped three times towards the black-clothed man who was about to bully him again. In an instant, countless fiery snakes poured out of the spirit fan and devoured the man in black.
With the appearance of countless fire snakes, the surrounding temperature suddenly increased, and the demonic energy and the fire snake met and made a sizzling sound.
The man in black quickly retreated under the protection of the body protection aura, wanting to withdraw from the range of the sea of fire earlier. In the face of the fiery snake like a sea of fire, he didn't dare to hold it up, and the fire had a great restraining effect on his demonic energy.
At this moment, a spirit sword instantly burrowed into the sea of fire and slashed towards the man in black. The spirit sword is extremely agile, like a dragon churning in a sea of fire, and its momentum is extremely terrifying.
"Hah!" the man in black exhaled, and the spear in his hand pierced towards the Spirit Sword Hole. The demonic qi on the spear surged, and before the fire snake could get close to the spear, it was torn to pieces by the strong energy driven by the spear.
"Boom!"
The spirit sword and spear clashed together again, and the momentum that suddenly erupted during the exchange caused all the surrounding fire snakes to be silently annihilated, as if at this moment, the heavens and the earth were silent.
The spirit sword and spear each wailed, the spirit sword reversed and turned back, and the right hand of the man in black holding the spear cracked, dripping blood sprinkled in the sea of fire, and he himself retreated seven or eight feet away in the air under this great force.
"You are obviously in the middle stage of foundation building, how can you have such profound mana?" The man in black wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Xu Qing who was calm and calm in shock. fought hard with Xu Qing, but the result turned out to be that he was injured, although there was a big reason why he was in a hurry, but it shouldn't be like this.
"Hehe, didn't I tell you before? Sometimes, cultivation does not mean strength or weakness. Xu Qing smiled lightly, his exercises finally showed their extraordinaryness in the foundation building period, he is only in the middle stage of foundation building now, but the depth and condensation of mana are no longer inferior to the general late stage of foundation building.
"Hmph, I'd like to see how many times you can make that kind of attack!" the man in black snorted coldly, and then bullied Xu Qing again, wanting to fight Xu Qing in close quarters again.
Xu Qing naturally wouldn't stand stupidly, let the man in black approach, he fought and retreated, every time he retreated a distance, he would turn around and fight with the man in black, and then retreat again.
In this way, Xu Qing and the man in black fought and retreated. An hour later, they still hadn't decided the winner, but both of them were injured to varying degrees, and the corners of their mouths still had blood that hadn't yet coagulated.
"Stinky boy, are you a tortoise? If you have the ability, you can fight me openly, and don't always run away. The man in black gasped and said, because Xu Qing kept retreating, at this moment they were already more than ten miles away from the original place of battle.
After an hour of fighting, even if the man in black had the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building, he felt a little unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that the other party consumed a lot more than himself, he would have already chosen to give up and continue to chase and kill.
