Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 34: Direct Killing
Flying swords continued to fall and bombarded the Soul Binding Rope. After being tempered in the Sanyang Soul Refining Furnace and the accumulation of one hundred and eight layers of pure spiritual power, the Soul Binding Rope was much harder than ordinary magic weapons. There was a line of bright red on it, which was a secret divine pattern engraved with essence and blood. As the divine pattern flashed, it shook away all the flying swords that were hitting it.
When the surroundings became quiet and no more flying swords fell, the Soul Binding Rope slowly loosened, revealing two figures inside.
Gu Xiaoxing saw the corpses of several fellow disciples not far away at a glance. It was a horrible sight. She subconsciously covered Lu Ling'er's head in her arms. However, she had already seen it and was frightened to the point of turning pale. This was not a monster, but a fellow disciple who died in front of her eyes in an instant. It was still a little cruel for her.
"It's interesting that there is a person like you in such a small Soul Devouring Sect..."
The voice came without any warning. Gu Xiaoxing looked up suddenly and saw a young man in red standing on a flying sword. The sword was suspended in the air, motionless.
Then, the young man raised his hand, and the countless flying swords that had fallen before soared into the sky and hovered behind him, also motionless.
This is the real sword control!
Gu Xiaoxing's expression froze. Although he could also control the flying sword with his Spirit Control Finger, he couldn't move it as freely as the young man in red. Especially, the aura emitted by the young man made him feel dangerous.
The peak of Qi Condensation!
"Who are you?" Gu Xiaoxing asked in a deep voice. He thought of a lot of things at this moment . There should not be such a person in this outer sect competition. Di Lingyuan is now the sect's temporary trial site, and the five elders are personally in charge. It is impossible for anyone to break in.
In other words, this person had already sneaked into the Earth Spirit Abyss before the competition began?
But what if it’s not?
That would be a serious situation!
Gu Xiaoxing felt more and more uneasy. If something went wrong with the Fifth Elder, not only would they be unable to leave Dilingyuan, they would even be likely to face being surrounded and killed by the enemy. He protected Lu Linger in his arms, staring at the young man in red, and did not act rashly.
The young man in red smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking. It's okay to tell you. I am Xu Qianxing, the young master of the Yu Jian Sect. I came to the Earth Spirit Abyss to take something away. I passed by here and saw that you have good aptitude, so I hurried to stop."
Gu Xiaoxing glanced at the bodies of his fellow brothers and asked, "Why did you take their lives when you were just passing by?"
Gu Xiaoxing himself did not notice that after he killed the terrifying creature, the Giant Elephant, with one move, even when facing a master at the peak of Qi Condensation, even when he felt a dangerous aura from the opponent, he did not feel the slightest fear in his heart. It was not because of his strength that made him arrogant, but it was as if he had broken free from some shackles, allowing him to dare to face his fear instead of just thinking about escaping.
"You are just a floating duckweed in the water, not worth mentioning." Xu Qianxing put his hands behind his back, looking down at you with a disdainful look, "You are quite good. Although your cultivation is a little bit poor, your body is very strong, suitable to be my sword furnace. From now on, you will stay by my side and cultivate my sword. How about it?"
Although it was a question, the tone was not like a discussion, but more like a command.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned and didn't react for a while. It was the first time he saw such an arrogant person. Even Wu Er only looked arrogant, but Xu Qianxing gave people a feeling of arrogance in his bones. He could so calmly say that he wanted others to use their bodies as a cauldron to nourish his sword.
Gu Xiaoxing hated this kind of people the most in his life. They seemed to be the only ones in the world who were superior to him. They spoke in a sarcastic tone, but in fact, they just had a problem with their brains. So he retorted without any hesitation, saying, "You are not bad either. Although you are too ugly, your cultivation is not bad. How about you put on a mask and stay by my side from now on to kill enemies for me?"
As he spoke, Gu Xiaoxing had already used the Soul Binding Rope to wrap Lu Linger into a ball and protected her inside.
As expected, as Gu Xiaoxing finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Xu Qianxing's eyes, and countless flying swords fell again.
However, this time Gu Xiaoxing was well prepared. He focused his eyes and took a step forward. As the runes around his body appeared, he appeared twenty feet away in one step, out of the attack range of the flying sword.
Among all the Qi Condensation stage body-refining techniques, the Sanyang Alchemy Body is one of the most advanced ones. His physical body has already reached the limit of what can be achieved in the Qi Condensation stage. With such a physical body, performing the Fang Cun Step is as easy as breathing.
Then he held the burning incense in his hand, bent down and jumped. The ground collapsed and he flew straight into the sky.
Although Gu Xiaoxing was incredibly fast, Xu Qianxing was at the peak of Qi Condensation after all, and his perception and reaction were so strong that several flying swords shot towards him in an instant.
Gu Xiaoxing's expression remained unchanged. He suddenly took out a handful of pills and threw them out. When they collided with the flying sword, they exploded with a bang. It was Lu Linger's Thunderbolt Pill. This was what Gu Xiaoxing asked Lu Linger for when he used the Soul Binding Rope to protect himself. At this moment, it had an unexpected effect.
The flying sword was blown to pieces, and Gu Xiaoxing rushed out from the exploding Dan dust and smashed directly over with a burning incense.
Xu Qianxing was just surprised at first, but suddenly he felt a sense of fatal crisis, as if he would be killed if hit by this blow. His expression immediately changed drastically, and he opened his mouth and spit out a small green sword, pointing it directly at the opponent's face.
Gu Xiaoxing's expression also changed. The green sword also made him feel frightened. He had no time to dodge, so he smashed the burning incense directly on the sword.
The next moment, Xu Qianxing knew why he felt a life-and-death crisis. The small green sword that had been nurtured in his body for many years was actually smashed into a gap by the seemingly ordinary burning incense, and cracks appeared on the blade. He was immediately horrified and flew back on the sword.
Gu Xiaoxing snorted coldly. This fighting style of exchanging injury for death was his usual tactic when he was desperate. Now it was used by someone else. He felt immediately annoyed. With a wave of his hand, several flying swords appeared. He pointed with one finger and the flying swords pierced through.
Different from Xu Qianxing's sword-controlling technique, Gu Xiaoxing controlled the flying sword with his Spirit Control Finger, and the speed was obviously much slower.
"Showing off your skills in front of an expert!" Xu Qianxing quickly calmed down, and showed disdain on his face when he saw this scene. Flying a sword was his specialty, and he quickly made several strange seals, which actually directly merged into the flying sword that was rushing towards him. The speed of the flying sword began to slow down as it made a sound, and finally it stopped in front of him and turned against him.
The mockery in his eyes became even stronger, however, before Xu Qianxing could open his mouth to mock, a pill flew out from each of the flying swords, and then exploded with a loud bang. His eyes widened with anger, and he hurriedly used his cultivation to protect his body, but he was still blown to pieces by the Thunderbolt Pill and surrounded by the thick pill dust from the explosion of the pill.
He was depressed and raised his hand to disperse the pill dust. He was about to shout "despicable" but he saw more Thunderbolt Pills approaching from the front. They were so dense that there were dozens of them this time. Not only that, there were three talismans above his head that turned into thunder and struck him, and even something was hitting him from the side .
Gu Xiaoxing had a ruthless look on his face. For those who wanted to take his life, he would always kill them directly. He would follow the principle of killing the opponent first and never giving them a chance to breathe.
Xu Qianxing was so frustrated. Facing this sudden and crazy attack, even though he was at the peak of Qi Condensation, he didn't dare to be arrogant, especially the Thunderbolt Pills. A few of them could make his blood boil. And those dozens of them...
Xu Qianxing did not have a body as strong as the giant elephant, and his sword was mainly used for attack rather than defense. If he had been prepared, he would not be afraid. But at this critical moment, he only had time to control the flying swords behind him to surround himself, and at the same time took out a bead from the storage bag, which instantly turned into an energy shield to protect him.
