Chapter 77 My punch will be cool.
Gu Shiba froze, looked down, and saw a section of crimson-gold sword light emanating from his heart.
"You..." Gu Shiba's throat made a gurgling sound, his eyes filled with disbelief.
His left hand instinctively reached for the Heart-Eating Gu Basin in his bosom, but he felt a sharp pain in his soul and his vision suddenly went black.
If Gu Shiba's soul were still intact at this moment, he would see that his head had been pierced by a small, cute black water dragon.
With the generous sponsorship of Xu Changqing, the "top sponsor," the White Bone Jade Hairpin is now completely different from what it used to be. Its spirituality has greatly increased, and its Soul-Slaying Power is comparable to a Foundation Establishment strike, which Gu Shiba could not resist.
"Not bad, not bad." Xu Changqing casually picked up the Heart-Eating Gu Basin that Gu Shiba had not yet fully activated from his arms. It was cold and heavy to the touch, and the black patterns on the surface of the basin were writhing.
He gave a thumbs-up, and with his other hand he made a grabbing motion in the air, and an invisible suction force pulled Gu Shiba's corpse close to him.
"Hey, this body isn't bad either," he muttered to himself, as if admiring a work of art. His gaze swept over Gu Shiba's still warm body. "Perfected Qi Refining, solid foundation, and condensed soul... It's just the right body to add to the Thousand Transformations Divine Banner."
With a flick of his sleeve, the eight ancient corpses vanished, having been stored in a magical artifact named "Treasure Bag," to be refined into a divine banner in the future.
In the shadows below the stage, Kong Yunlei, Chu Shan, and Li Gu could see it clearly, their pupils contracting as their hearts surged with shock!
Who is this fat Taoist priest? Just a moment ago he was chatting and laughing with Gu Shiba, and now he's suddenly killing someone with ruthless and decisive methods, not to mention his unfathomable cultivation! Is it internal strife? Or...?
Li Gu stared intently at Xu Changqing's large, fat back, and an absurd yet exhilarating thought surged into his mind: Could this suddenly appearing, terrifying Taoist be a friend rather than an enemy?
Meanwhile, the wolf demon who was toying with the human man on the high platform, and the many demons watching below, only then realized what was happening, and a commotion broke out.
"Master Gu... Master Gu has been killed?!"
"That fat Taoist priest did it!"
"He...isn't he a guest minister of the Prince of Jin? How dare he kill his master's disciple?!"
Exclamations, roars, and the sounds of weapons being drawn filled the air in a chaotic cacophony.
Many demons instinctively retreated, looking at Xu Changqing with suspicion and uncertainty, then towards the depths of the Li residence, awaiting Master Man's reaction. Some even cast fierce glances at the imprisoned humans below the stage, as if they wanted to vent their anger on them or take them hostage.
Xu Changqing flicked his right sleeve almost imperceptibly, and three thin, hair-like streaks of crimson-gold Qi silently disappeared into the shadows.
With a few very slight "crack" sounds, the black iron shackles around the necks and limbs of Kong Yunlei, Chu He, and Li Gu broke off, leaving smooth, mirror-like cracks.
At the same time, a subtle yet clear voice transmission entered the three people's ears: "Alright, stop pretending, or you'll really become a pig. You guys can handle things here. Those show-offs should be here soon."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Changqing's figure had already leaped up like a ghost, heading straight for the Li residence. In a few leaps, he disappeared behind the shadows of the towering buildings.
Below the stage, Kong Yunlei and the other two were startled almost simultaneously, and the broken chains slid off their bodies.
They quickly exchanged a glance, a look that was sharp and calm.
"Form the formation," Kong Yunlei shouted in a low voice.
The three moved with lightning speed, instantly standing back to back in a triangular formation.
Chu He and Li Gu stood on the left and right respectively, while Kong Yunlei provided support in the center.
The aura around the three suddenly changed, and a fierce and brutal aura of war surged up. A faint white tiger phantom condensed above their heads. Although it was faint, it carried an awe-inspiring and inviolable killing power.
As the White Tiger Guards, who are in charge of conquest and capture among the Five Mysterious Guards, they are most skilled in combined combat using the "White Tiger Heavenly Soldier Scripture".
Although he was covered in wounds and his magic power was greatly depleted, he was still able to protect these dozen or so people. He had been too worried before, but now that reinforcements had arrived, it was time to avenge his comrades and compatriots.
......
Looking at the tranquil Li residence, Xu Changqing felt a strange unease, as if some unspeakable danger was lurking beneath the calm surface.
"Come out." He suddenly turned to the seemingly empty void beside him and said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a subtle ripple appeared in the void, like water rippling.
"Don't bother me, I'm here to deliver a message." Ahri muttered, rubbing her forehead, her fluffy tail swaying unconsciously behind her.
"Manager Mei, what message do you want to give me?" Xu Changqing asked.
"Sister Qian asked me to investigate the people who conspired with the Zhen family in this matter. There were four people in total: Zhen Daoguang from the Zhen family, and the Mantianying from the Shengqing Sect."
Suddenly, he whispered, "And Mei Liangxing too."
"Mei Liangxing? Surname Mei?" Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, it's Sister Qian's half-brother." Ah Li nodded somewhat embarrassedly, her fox ears drooping slightly, as if she felt a little ashamed of such discord within the family.
She quickly looked up again and changed the subject, saying, "There's another one, a monk, whose Buddhist name is 'Black Scorpion'."
"Black scorpion?" Xu Changqing's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had spotted his prey.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ah Li keenly noticed the subtle change in Xu Changqing's aura and blinked curiously. "You know him?"
"It's nothing, I just thought of one of my good senior brothers, who happens to also be named Black Scorpion," Xu Changqing said with a smile.
Ah Li shrank back and quickly revealed all the information she knew: "Sister Qian said that among these people, we should be especially careful of that Master Man. His cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and he is unfathomable. Moreover, it is said that he possesses a trace of the Nine Infant bloodline, and he has had good fortune, having obtained some..."
Ahri said seriously.
"Sister Qian suspects that they want to enter the ruins of Ziyang Temple through some kind of ritual."
Just as the two were exchanging messages.
Faced with the attack of the human cultivators, the demons in the city instantly went berserk and roared as they rushed towards the various points where the light had landed.
As they approached the Minghai Sea, the streak of light at the forefront suddenly shone brightly.
"You bastards, take this punch from your grandpa."
A furious roar exploded in the sky, its sound waves rumbling and shaking the roof tiles.
Under Xu Changqing's slightly surprised gaze, a burly figure that seemed capable of dragging mountains and uprooting peaks crashed down from the sky with a wild and unrestrained posture, as if declaring, "My punch will be very cool."
"boom!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, causing the entire city of Minghai to tremble violently.
In an instant, the earth shook and dust billowed into the sky. The large number of demons gathered below did not even have time to scream before they were turned into a cloud of blood and mud by the immense force.
As the smoke and dust cleared, a figure appeared.
The man was nearly ten feet tall, with arms as thick as beams and muscles as bulging as an old dragon. Just by standing there, he exuded a sense of oppressive power, like a mountain collapsing.
"His stature is as tall as a mountain, his cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his fighting style is so brutal..." Ah Li whispered beside Xu Changqing, her fox ears slightly perked up, "It seems that the leader is a member of the Tianyu Guard."
