Chapter 44: Cause and Effect

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 When the middle-aged monk died tragically and the screams echoed, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect who was searching for Xu Qing in the city suddenly raised his head.

As a foundation-building monk, his five senses are extremely sharp. When he heard the miserable sound in the distance, his face instantly darkened, and he jumped into the air, heading towards the place where the sound came from.

Although there are strange beasts around, he is a strong foundation builder after all. As long as he doesn't encounter strange existences or a large number of strange beasts, he doesn't care.

Even if the strong alien force has an impact on him, with his cultivation level, as long as he stays in the restricted area for no more than a month, it won't cause much trouble.

So after determining the direction, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect roared loudly and used the power of cultivation to make his voice travel farther.

"Hold that kid and wait for me!"

As he spoke, his figure in mid-air exploded in speed. From a distance, it looked like a meteor roaring across the sky.

At the same time, at the battlefield just now, another King Kong Sect elder suddenly retreated without hesitation when Xu Qing approached.

He heard the roar of his ancestors, but he didn't want to die needlessly here.

Even if he was punished by his ancestor afterwards, he still admitted it. It was Xu Qing's evil spirit that was too strong. The murderous intent in his eyes made him unwilling to take risks.

Therefore, he retreated very quickly at this moment. He even used the flying talisman to retreat hundreds of feet in an instant.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He also heard the low roar of the ancestor of the King Kong Sect coming from a very far away place, but he rushed out without stopping. He picked up his iron sign on the way and was about to use the flying charm in the same way.

His expression suddenly changed in an instant, his breath stagnated, he turned around without hesitation, and galloped in the opposite direction.

The moment Xu Qing turned around, the elder of the King Kong Sect who flew into the air looked horrified. He felt a coldness coming towards his face, and even noticed a huge figure appearing next to him.

The figure's face had no facial features, only a long swaying hair could be seen. It looked like a woman, and the body under the face was huge and she was wearing a long white dress.

At this moment, a large number of faces appeared densely on the faceless woman's dress, and bursts of shrill cries spread all around in an instant. Infinite weirdness permeated all directions, and even the moon in the sky turned into blood.

Seen from a distance, the figure of the elder of the Vajra Sect was as insignificant as an ant in front of the giant. Under the cries and gazes of countless faces on the faceless woman in the white dress, the elder of the Vajra Sect trembled violently, and his expression changed.

Slowly he began to cry.

But while he was crying, his eyes showed intense fear, as if he could not control his crying.

Until her cry merged with the cries of the countless faces of the faceless woman in the white dress. Without distinguishing each other, bursts of white breath spread out from the seven orifices of the Vajra Sect elder and quickly penetrated into the face of the faceless woman in the white dress.

body, the next moment...

The body of the elder of the Vajra Sect turned directly into a mummy, without any breath, and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the faceless woman in the white dress suddenly had an extra face, it was the elder of the Vajra Sect.

His expressionless face appeared on the white skirt and he made a cry.

This scene was seen by Xu Qing and the ancestor of the King Kong Sect who came at this moment. Both of them were shocked.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, accelerated suddenly, and galloped towards the city.

However, although Xu Qing could leave, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect who came from a distance was numb at the moment and did not dare to move.

Because the faceless woman in the white dress was walking towards him.

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect knew very well that when faced with such an existence, he could not move quickly, otherwise, he would end up like his elders, so in his panic and anxiety, the faceless woman in a white dress passed by him and gradually moved away.

Until then, the ancestor of the King Kong Sect breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

"I encountered this strange existence twice...Why do I have a feeling that it seems to be helping that little kid..."

"Evil door!" The ancestor of the King Kong Sect gritted his teeth and looked in the direction Xu Qingyuan was going. He felt more and more that he had to get rid of the opponent. At this moment, he rushed out quickly and pursued urgently.

In the dark night, all kinds of roars came and went, echoing in every corner of the city. The sounds of chewing, crying, and sneers filled all directions.

Under the moonlight, broken walls and ruins appeared everywhere, as if they had become monsters, making the strange feeling in the city even stronger.

Xu Qing, who was galloping inside, was already familiar with the roars and weirdness here, but his face was still pale, and he felt as if he was being stared at by countless malicious eyes, and these eyes turned into ice and seemed to be...

invade his body.

When his whole body became colder and colder, Xu Qing passed by the place where he hunted vultures that day. When he glanced at it, his eyes shrank for an instant...

Not far away, next to the abandoned carriage that was stuck in the mud, the bloody puppet that was supposed to be hung on the shaft of the carriage actually changed its position at this moment. Instead of hanging there, it was placed on the carriage, with its back to Xu Qing, out of sight.

its front.

Xu Qing's scalp tightened and he left here quickly.

Not long after, the ancestor of the King Kong Sect arrived here in pursuit. When he scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes, he saw the carriage and the bloody puppet sitting on the carriage facing him.

The doll's inlaid eyes were dim, and its whole body was wet and red with a strange look. It was looking at the ancestor of the Vajra Sect in a sinister way.

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart felt hairy. His steps instantly slowed down, and he cautiously left the area step by step. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and accelerated again.

But he didn't pursue or get too close. He was already aware of the evil side of the young man in front of him, and also knew that the other party had the means to make the alien instantly strong, so he didn't plan to get too close to forcefully attack, but was prepared to keep a close eye on him based on his cultivation.

The other party, wait until daybreak before taking action to kill them.

Although as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, having to deal with a Qi Condenser so carefully would damage Foundation Establishment's face, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect still decided to play it safe first under such circumstances.

So he slowed down and followed behind at an leisurely pace.

Xu Qing in front also noticed this. He had simulated a counterattack in his heart, and had completed the preliminary preparations for shadow control. He held the black pill in his hand, and was waiting for the opponent to approach.

He was sure that although the other party would not be fatal after being subjected to these methods, he would be in a state of panic and would not be able to escape in a short time. Although he would be seriously injured by the other party, his escape after being seriously injured would be more realistic and less likely to arouse suspicion.

To facilitate your next temptation plan.

But the ancestor of the Vajra Sect was so cautious despite clearly building the foundation, which made Xu Qing even more vigilant.

However, although the other party did not approach, Xu Qing felt that his seduction plan was still going forward, so he accelerated his speed and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.

Getting closer.

The location of the City Lord's Mansion is in the central area of ​​the city. The aliens here are more dense than other places, but the number of alien beasts is getting smaller and smaller for some unknown reason.

This change caused the expression of the ancestor of the King Kong Sect who was chasing after him to change slightly. The sense of crisis in his heart was very strong at this moment.

He raised his head and looked at Xu Qing's back in front of him, then looked at the collapsed building to the side, and suddenly stopped in his steps.

Instead of continuing to chase, he started to retreat.

This scene made Xu Qing unexpected. At this moment, he was still a hundred feet away from the city lord's palace, and the ancestor of the King Kong Sect who was chasing behind him was actually trying to retreat.

"It's a bit late to retreat now!" Xu Qing gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his right hand and waved it violently, and immediately a large amount of black pills spread out in all directions.

This time, in order to achieve his goal, Xu Qing directly used up half of the remaining black pills, and now they fell around and exploded!

In an instant, the place seemed to have turned into a huge whirlpool, causing foreign matter from all directions to surge in, affecting the void, distorting the surroundings, making everything within sight blurred.

The heterogeneous richness has reached an astonishing level.

This scene made the retreating ancestor of the King Kong Sect change his expression, but it was more inexplicable because Xu Qing's body was also in that rich heterogeneity.

If this continues, let's not talk about the issue of alienation, just the strange beasts and weirdness attracted by the alien will make Xu Qing die without a burial place inside, which is tantamount to suicide.

At the moment when the ancestor of the King Kong Sect was puzzled, the city lord's palace a hundred feet away suddenly shook violently, and a terrifying roar suddenly spread in all directions.

The earth trembled, and the blood moon in the sky blurred.

The expression of the ancestor of the King Kong Sect changed, and the feeling of life-and-death crisis was instantly strong. His pupils shrank, and his body quickly retreated. His eyes were fixed on the front, and figures flew out from a building like a city lord's palace!

Each of those figures was extremely skinny, but they had black flame wings, and their bodies were astonishingly rich and heterogeneous. Wherever they passed, the void seemed to be twisting.

This scene already frightened the ancestor of the King Kong Sect, but what made him turn pale and take a breath was when the city lord's palace collapsed with a roar, revealing a huge hole in the ground.

A withered figure, a hundred feet tall, was crawling out of the cave with a roar that shook the sky!

Seen from a distance, the figure is slender, like a dead tree, with the exposed part measuring a hundred feet, but at this moment it is obvious that it has not completely crawled out, and it seems that it is only the upper body.

So it waved its arms, and a large number of rotten vines instantly spread from the fingers of both hands, shooting out in all directions and piercing the ground.

The furthest ones even penetrated in front of the ancestor of the Vajra Sect.

As if using this as a support point, the huge dead tree-like figure was climbing out at an accelerated speed.

"What the hell is this?!" The ancestor of the King Kong Sect trembled in his heart and cursed in horror. His whole expression changed drastically as never before, and he burst out at full speed and retreated crazily.

But what made him even more crazy was when he saw those flying winged figures that were attracted by the heterogeneity and rushed out. After they rushed out from the city lord's mansion, their target was the heterogeneous rich area formed by the child using unknown means.

But for some reason, these flying-winged figures quickly emerged from it after rushing into the area. They roared and looked around, and then they all locked on him and roared towards him.

"What's happening!! Where is the child!!"

All this made the ancestor of the King Kong Sect widen his eyes. Even though he was at an amazing speed, he was still caught up quickly. During the roar, the ancestor of the King Kong Sect was forced to take action, and his foundation-building cultivation had to explode in full force.

This caused the flying winged figures to collapse, but strangely, they recovered in an instant and continued to pounce. In the distance, in the huge cave where the City Lord's Mansion was, the terrifying existence was almost complete.

Climb out.

The crisis of life and death made the ancestor of the King Kong Sect become even more crazy. At this moment, when he was being entangled, there was a crack on the ground next to a wall at the edge of the heterogeneous and dense area in front of him.

At this moment, in this crack, Xu Qing was carefully hiding inside, looking cautiously along the crack to look at the outside world.

In this ruined city, he followed the traces of flying birds and found two safe shelters. One was his cave, and the other... was this gap!

This gap was also the place where he first obtained the skills in the City Lord's Mansion and escaped being chased by strange beasts after being severely wounded in the chest.

It's just that this place is too close to the city lord's palace, so Xu Qingcai didn't choose this place as his temporary residence.

Under the catastrophe when the gods opened their eyes, all living things could not escape perdition. Only the birds... for some unknown reason, most of them survived.

At the same time, they can find some locations seemingly instinctively. Although it is not absolutely safe, it is relatively like a blind spot and can easily be ignored by strange beasts and strange things.

Of course, this is only relative. If there is no King Kong Sect ancestor here to attract, then what Xu Qing did just now is seeking death.

At this moment, seeing the embarrassment of the King Kong Sect ancestor, and noticing the huge figure struggling to climb out of the huge pit of the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Qing also took a breath, but he quickly gritted his teeth, rushed out with a sway, and faced the man in the distance.

The chasing ancestor of the Vajra Sect threw the black pill again.

He threw in more than ten more pills in one breath.

The black pills landed and exploded one after another, and the heterogeneity here was already so rich and shocking. With the explosion of the black pills, it seemed that a certain critical point had been exceeded in an instant.

In an instant... the malicious eyes that had once again focused on Xu Qing because he left the crack moved away and looked at the more heterogeneous area. At the same time, at multiple locations in the city,

Regardless of whether it was a strange beast or something strange, they all stopped and looked there.

The next moment, gallop away!

The roar of extreme anger came from the mouth of the ancestor of the King Kong Sect. At the same time, Xu Qing ran at full speed without turning around, taking advantage of the opportunity when the strange beasts and strange beings were attracted to the foreign area to escape at full speed.

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect also wanted to escape, but those flying figures were entangled with him. Even if he wanted to retreat, he was inevitably delayed. At this moment, he was more anxious than ever, and his hatred for Xu Qing was extremely strong in his heart.

At this time, Xu Qing was moving faster and faster on the streets in the distance. Seeing that he was far away from the city lord's palace, he was about to go to the direction of the city wall, but at this moment... a cold breath hit his face.

.

In front of him, the sound of crying echoed, and a faceless woman in a white dress came suddenly from a distance.

At first glance, the opponent was still far away, but at second glance, this strange figure had appeared in front of Xu Qing.

The speed was so fast that Xu Qing couldn't dodge at all. At this moment, his breathing was rapid and his pupils were constricted. His body was instantly covered with ice, and his mind went blank for an instant, as if frozen.

As for the faceless woman who walked over, dense crowds of faces quickly appeared on her body, all of them crying miserably. Their cries penetrated Xu Qing's mind and turned into fluctuations, causing Xu Qing's expression to be affected and change uncontrollably.

, he was about to cry like those faces.

But at this moment... some of the faces on the faceless man in the white dress suddenly stopped crying. They looked at Xu Qing blankly, their expressions gradually changed, and slowly they actually smiled, opening their mouths as if they were saying something.

, but no sound came out.

Soon, more and more faces stopped crying, until finally... almost most of the faces on the faceless woman in the white dress stopped crying, and all looked at Xu Qing, each of them smiling, their expressions softened.

They all moved their lips slightly, as if speaking softly, saying two words that others could not hear.

In this smile and mouth shape, Xu Qing stayed there, staring blankly at the many faces on the huge faceless woman in front of him.

Before he could see clearly, the faceless woman in the white dress moved away and walked past him. When she was far away, the sound of crying echoed again...

Xu Qing's stiff body also recovered at this moment. He breathed quickly and turned his head suddenly, staring blankly at the faceless woman in the white dress who was walking further and further away. Her white figure was like a burning fire in the dark night.



Just now, those smiling faces on the other side... Xu Qing felt very familiar.

Deja vu...

Especially one of them, he remembered, it was the one he carried away to be incinerated and put to rest...the old man from the drug shop.

Xu Qing was silent, looking at the retreating figure, and vaguely understood something. After a long time, he bowed his head deeply and murmured softly.

"Thanks."

Those smiling faces before also said these two words.

"Thanks."
