Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 35: Snow-white Heavenly Palace
The first thing to fall was thunder. Three lightning talismans struck down at the same time. The flying sword that was originally spinning rapidly around Xu Qianxing suddenly stopped, and strands of electric light wandered around it, as if even the flying sword was paralyzed and unable to move.
Immediately afterwards, the Thunderbolt Pill exploded!
A single Thunderbolt Pill was enough to make a demon beast at the seventh level of Qi Condensation doubt its existence. Now that dozens of Thunderbolt Pills were stacked together, it was as if the space there was suddenly squeezed together, and then expanded and exploded in an instant. More than half of the stagnant flying swords were directly blown into pieces, and the rest were also cracked and flew away.
The violent force of the explosion did not stop, and continued to crush towards the light shield that enveloped Xu Qianxing. The light shield instantly cracked and was blasted with cracks, but it also blocked most of the power of the explosion. However, when the aftermath shattered the light shield and hit his body again, a trace of blood still flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned pale.
Xu Qianxing was extremely angry at this time, and he also felt a little frustrated as if he had capsized in a ditch. Although he had underestimated the opponent's strength, he did not expect that the opponent would use such thundering means right from the start, leaving him no chance to breathe. This was why he suffered a great loss, but now was not the time to think about anything else.
In his perception, there was another object flying close to him, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a fish hook.
Although the fishhook was very large, it looked very ordinary. However, the more ordinary it was, the more cautious Xu Qianxing was. The opponent's series of insidious cruel methods made him dare not be careless anymore. Even though he felt that he could easily knock down the big fishhook with one palm, he forced himself not to make a move and instead raised his head to dodge.
He was really scared. He was afraid that if he slapped him, even the fishhook would explode.
The big fishhook almost passed by Xu Qianxing's face, but just when it was about to fly over, the fishhook lit up, and countless barbs suddenly protruded. At this moment, Xu Qianxing felt his scalp tingling, and even his soul was trembling. He widened his eyes and watched the barbs getting closer and closer, as if they would pierce his eyeballs in the next moment.
Just when Xu Qianxing was about to despair, the barbs seemed to have "grown" to their limit and stopped when they were just a little bit away from his eyeballs.
Xu Qianxing had never felt such fear before, but the next moment, he still felt a sharp pain. Although the barb was not strong enough to pierce his eyeball, it pierced his tall nose.
All this seemed extremely long to Xu Qianxing, but in fact it was just a moment. When the fishhook passed through, there were not only two nostrils on his nose, but also several blood holes. But no matter what holes they were, blood was gushing out.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't care what the other party was thinking. He seized the opportunity and rushed over directly, wanting to smash the other party to death. However, he was in the air at the moment and had nowhere to gain leverage. He could only fly using the aerial technique, which was too slow.
Xu Qianxing covered his mouth and nose and could not speak, but the hatred in his red eyes was so strong that it seemed to be able to spit fire. He stared at Gu Xiaoxing who was flying towards him, with madness in his eyes. Suddenly, he pointed his bloody fingers at his forehead and a blood sword was summoned.
As soon as the blood sword appeared, Gu Xiaoxing felt his scalp tingling and the sense of crisis was stronger than ever before. He stopped instantly and turned around to run.
Xu Qianxing no longer covered his nose, allowing the blood to flow. With a ferocious look in his eyes, he quickly made hand gestures. The blood sword suddenly shook, and in an instant it was ten feet in size. Then it turned into a stream of blood-colored light and shot towards Gu Xiaoxing like lightning. Its speed was many times faster than the previous flying swords.
Although he had not been hit yet, the intense crisis still caused Gu Xiaoxing to feel a tearing pain in his back. He turned around abruptly, and the runes on his body glowed with golden light. Both his cultivation and the Three Yang Alchemy Body were exerted to the extreme. He burned an incense and smashed it hard, colliding with the huge blood sword.
There was a sudden roar, and the momentum seemed to be even greater than when dozens of Thunderbolt Pills exploded at the same time. Amidst the violent shock, a figure fell straight down and smashed into the ground, sinking more than ten feet deep. The blood sword was tumbling backwards for several weeks, but the sword body was intact.
"You have achieved this with your Qi Condensation Level 7 cultivation. You forced me to sacrifice my life-defining flying sword to kill you. You are the only one..." Xu Qianxing took the elixir to stop the bleeding and looked gloomily at the cracked ground. He was sure that the other party would not die so easily with his despicable means. "Despicable man, come out and die!"
There seemed to be a slight movement beneath the ground, but no response...
"Huh, will it be okay if I just hide?"
Xu Qianxing snorted coldly and was about to steer his natal flying sword into the earth, but suddenly, a golden beam of light shot up into the sky in the distance. The source was exactly the location of the ten thousand feet waterfall. He frowned, and there seemed to be a struggle in his eyes. Finally, he gritted his teeth, retracted his flying sword, and flew towards the direction of the light beam.
A moment later, a hand stretched out from the ground about a hundred feet away from the big pit. It was none other than Gu Xiaoxing. He was not under the cracked ground at all, but relied on his strong body to dig a tunnel underground. He was about to launch a sneak attack, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly leave.
Looking silently at the direction where Xu Qianxing left and at the beam of light in the distance, Gu Xiaoxing fell into deep thought.
After this battle, Gu Xiaoxing probably knew his limit, which was equivalent to the ninth level of Qi Condensation, and was still a little short of perfection. Although he almost suppressed Xu Qianxing, in fact, if it weren't for Xu Qianxing's carelessness and Gu Xiaoxing's powerful means, it would never be that simple.
It must be said that Sanyang's Alchemy Body was indeed very strong. Even when a cultivator at the peak of Qi Condensation used his natal flying sword to attack with all his strength, he only suffered minor injuries. Of course, the main reason was the credit of the mysterious burning incense. If he relied on his physical body alone, he might not be able to withstand it.
As for the burning incense, it was completely useless. It was ridiculously hard. Gu Xiaoxing would often study it, but he could not figure it out at all. He only knew that it was very convenient to use it to hit people and it was extremely powerful.
However, Gu Xiaoxing was thinking about other things at this time. He was skeptical about the red-clothed young man's self-introduction of his family background. "But what he said about coming to this Earth Spirit Abyss to take something away might be true. I think it is at the waterfall light column... What is it?"
Gu Xiaoxing knew that the appearance of the strange phenomenon must mean that a treasure had appeared in the world, which should be what the young man in red wanted, but he didn't know what it was.
"And as for the Fifth Elder..." Gu Xiaoxing murmured, still with many doubts in his mind.
Bang! Bang!
At this moment, he heard a knocking sound next to his ears. Gu Xiaoxing was stunned and then he remembered that Lu Linger was still inside the Soul Binding Rope. He was connected to the Soul Binding Rope by blood. With a thought, he turned into a long dragon and flew back to his body.
As soon as the little girl came out, she looked around nervously. After all, she was not a real little witch and was obviously still a little scared. It was not until she saw Gu Xiaoxing that she quickly called out "Little brother" and ran over.
Gu Xiaoxing hesitated. He actually wanted to follow to the waterfall to take a look, but the situation was unclear and he didn't dare to leave the little girl alone here.
"Ling'er, do you have a way to inform Master?"
Lu Linger shook her head. She had actually tried it before, but seemed to be blocked by the natural cloud and mist "Spirit Transformation Array".
Gu Xiaoxing gritted his teeth and took Lu Linger towards the waterfall. Waiting was not his style.
…
In an unknown distance from the small wasteland, there is a vast white world. In the falling snow, if you look up, you can faintly see a snow-white palace suspended in the air, like a palace in heaven, towering above all living beings, overlooking the earth, ethereal, sacred, vast and boundless.
Right under the snowy white palace, there stood a man with long snow-white hair and an indescribably handsome face. He looked into the distance with an indifferent expression, as if he saw a small wasteland endlessly far away.
"Dongfang Yu, are you ready?"
The man's voice echoed throughout the snowy world, and then, a strand of his white hair turned black...
