Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 37: Three ruthless men fighting to build their foundation
Du Siyu glanced sideways, and when she saw the person who suddenly appeared, she was stunned.
"I say, are you the senior brother or am I the senior brother? Why do you always ask me to save you..." Gu Xiaoxing looked at Du Siyu speechlessly. Before he could finish his words, a fist gust of wind came at him.
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed with one finger. The Spirit Control Finger can not only control objects, but also condense spiritual power between the fingers. It is also a powerful offensive technique. Coupled with his unparalleled physique, this finger pierced through the incoming fist, leaving a bloody mess.
Wu Er's eyes widened with bloodshot. He could not believe what he saw. His fist exploded in front of his eyes. He screamed miserably and wanted to pull back, but his other hand was still held by someone. The hand holding him seemed to contain a terrifying strange power. Even if he used all his strength, he could not break free.
"You just said who can save her? Now I'm here, what will you do?" Gu Xiaoxing looked at Wu Er, waved his sleeves, and spoke lightly, but the corner of his eye was glancing at Du Siyu, but when he saw the other party staring at him blankly, he suddenly felt proud and thought that Master Bai's indifferent and cool way of pretending to be a master was very effective.
At the same time, he felt that he should have a good talk with Du Siyu about the "surname" issue of Chaiyuan after this, and settle those "old accounts" by the way.
Of course, although he was a little bit fanciful, he had not forgotten what he was doing and was ready to kill Wu Er. When this person had the intention to kill him for no reason before, Gu Xiaoxing was thinking about whether to find an opportunity to kill him. After all, if this kind of "dangerous element" stayed in the world, he would do something to you at any time, so it would be safer to eliminate the trouble forever.
Especially, now he dares to attack Du Siyu, who is also a member of Chaiyuan after all.
I wonder if Chaiyuan’s surname will be Gu in the future?
Wu Er's eyes were red with anger, and he looked at Gu Xiaoxing with even more hatred. He suddenly looked up to the sky and roared: "If you don't take action now, when will you...!?"
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes changed slightly, and he punched Wu'er's chest without hesitation, but suddenly a divine consciousness descended, trying to imprison him and prevent him from punching.
However, with a flash of golden runes around Gu Xiaoxing, he broke free from the shackles of his spiritual consciousness and continued to strike with his fists, smashing the formation plate in Wu'er's arms and sending Wu'er flying. His flesh and blood exploded in the air and he died instantly.
The array plate was shattered, the Soul Transformation Array dissipated, and everyone's cultivation was restored.
Gu Xiaoxing looked up in the direction where the spiritual consciousness was coming from, but he saw a person he would never have thought of.
"Chen Changqing?!"
Above the sky, the dragon-like Earth Fairy Spring curled up and trembled slightly, as if it was about to wake up. Beside it, a figure appeared at some point. It was Chen Changqing, whom Gu Xiaoxing and Du Siyu had rescued in the Black Wood Forest!
"Why are you here?" Du Siyu was also puzzled and asked coldly with a frown. This person's aura had been at the ninth level of Qi Condensation before, but now it was... Foundation Building!
This can be judged not only from his aura, but also from the Soul-Devouring Insect between his eyebrows. After the Soul-Devouring Body breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, its Soul-Devouring Insect will change from black to gold. The Soul-Devouring Insect between Chen Changqing's eyebrows is exactly gold!
"I have been here the whole time, or rather, I have been waiting for you." Chen Changqing smiled slightly. Suddenly, he raised his finger and condensed a thin grey needle, which shot out. Xu Qianxing, who was about to slip away quietly, was hit hard and fell to the ground vomiting blood. "Yu Jian Sect, your appearance is beyond my expectation, but it is also thanks to your quarrel that we, the fishermen, benefit."
Everyone frowned as they watched this scene. Xu Qianxing looked so ugly that he was speechless. The thin needle seemed to contain some kind of sinister poison, running around in his body.
"You guys? Who are you?" Gu Xiaoxing heard other meanings in the words and immediately had a bad premonition. The feeling Chen Changqing gave him was completely different from before. He was so strange that he seemed like a different person, or in other words... was this him?
Chen Changqing looked at Gu Xiaoxing and did not answer. Instead, he sighed and said, " You shouldn't have killed him!"
"Why not? He didn't care about his fellow disciples and attacked Du Siyu, so shouldn't he die? You just tried to stop me. He is in the same group with you. They had colluded with each other a long time ago, right? You hid in the Earth Spirit Abyss just for this... this..." Gu Xiaoxing suddenly turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Siyu, what is that thing?"
Du Siyu rolled her eyes at him, but didn't mind him calling her that, and said, "Earth Immortal Spring, Immortal Foundation Creation."
Gu Xiaoxing coughed dryly and continued, "It's for this Earthly Immortal Spring, but I guess... you must have other purposes!"
At this point, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes suddenly condensed, and he said: "You are not my Soul Devouring Sect's hidden man at all, you are the Soul Devouring Sect's hidden man!"
Du Siyu's expression changed, and she immediately understood. The so-called hunt for traitors in the Black Woods was actually a self-torture trick, performed for them to see?
The purpose is to send the Soul-Devouring Sect's spy into the Soul-Devouring Sect!
Moreover, Du Siyu also thought of another level. The Soul-Devouring Sect had been trying to strangle the Soul-Devouring Clan for many years without success. Moreover, Chen Changqing was able to return so naturally as a secret agent of the sect. There might be many reasons behind this, but one thing was certain.
There’s a spy in the Soul-Devouring Sect!
This spy should have a very high status in the sect. Now it seems that Wu'er is in collusion with Chen Changqing and may have known his true identity for a long time. Wu'er is also the adopted son of the third elder.
Then it seems that the spy is about to be exposed!
Chen Changqing looked at Gu Xiaoxing in surprise and praised: "I was right to be able to figure out the conspiracy through a few clues. It's a pity that you are not suitable to be one of us!"
"I once said that I would give Junior Brother Gu a great gift. As long as you work for my Soul Devouring Sect in the future, I can keep you alive today." Having said this, Chen Changqing glanced at Wu Er's body, "But if you kill this man, even I can't save you!"
Gu Xiaoxing narrowed his eyes slightly. What he said seemed to make him even more certain of the sect's spy!
At this time, a loud rumbling sound was heard in the sky. Everyone in the Earth Spirit Abyss looked up and saw that a hole was punched in the clouds covering the abyss. A huge creature fell from the hole. It was the giant black tortoise that carried the people from the Soul-Devouring Sect.
The black tortoise fell straight down, and its shell could be faintly seen to have been shattered, its body pierced. Its hundred-foot-tall body was like a meteorite, smashing to the ground with a loud bang that echoed throughout the abyss.
Looking out through the hole in the clouds, there were giant swords whistling, thunder roaring, and alchemy furnaces roaring in the sky thousands of feet high, as if there was a shocking battle. Everyone was frightened by the sight. Soon, the hole healed slowly and returned to its original state.
Gu Xiaoxing was in the abyss, and his heart sank to the bottom. There was indeed a problem with the Fifth Elder, and it was extremely serious. If the Fifth Elder was defeated, all the outer disciples in the Di Lingyuan would die!
"Damn it, what a crappy place! There are so many other options, but why did they have to choose Di Ling Yuan as the venue for the competition? I don't know which idiot came up with this idea!" Gu Xiaoxing had already started cursing in his heart. Di Ling Yuan was blocked by the clouds and mist, and there was no way to escape unless one reached the foundation-building stage.
Above the sky, Chen Changqing took out a purple gourd and directly collected the Earth Immortal Spring into it. Then, he frowned, and saw a dark sword light coming towards him. He slapped out with his palm, and the sword light was instantly dispersed. But when he retracted his palm, he found a line of blood on the palm!
Chen Zili walked out slowly, holding a sword in one hand, and actually injured the foundation-building cultivator with his eighth-level Qi Condensation cultivation!
"There are thousands of ways to practice cultivation, there are techniques, elixirs, talismans, magical instruments, puppets... I, Chen Zili, only have the sword of annihilation!" This seemed to be the first time Chen Zili spoke. His voice was very flat, but there was an indescribable firmness in it. His aura rose, and he broke through to the ninth level of Qi Condensation in one fell swoop. He looked up to the sky and slashed out with a sword.
Chen Zili had been able to break through long ago, but he had always been suppressed by him. Now facing a powerful enemy, he broke through directly, and this sword strike was all he had.
Even though Chen Changqing was already at the foundation-building stage, he felt a sense of danger when facing this sword. He was horrified. How could it be possible? But the sword had already come, and he didn't dare to block it with his hands. He instantly took out a tortoise shell to block it in front of him. The sword slashed through, and actually cut a crack on the tortoise shell.
However, there were more ruthless people present than just Chen Zili. When it came to ruthlessness, Gu Xiaoxing was definitely no less ruthless, and even more so.
At the moment Chen Zili made his move, Gu Xiaoxing had already secretly accumulated strength. Seizing the opportunity, he took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Chen Changqing. He gathered all his strength and threw a burning incense at him.
Chen Changqing's expression changed immediately, because the crisis at this moment was even greater than the sword just now. It was too sudden, so he quickly turned the direction of the turtle shell.
The burning incense fell, and the tortoise shell shattered instantly, falling on Chen Changqing with the remaining force. Chen Changqing groaned and took the blow head on. Fortunately, the tortoise shell had reduced most of the force before, and he was in a foundation-building stage, so this blow was not a big deal. He even wanted to use this force to fly backwards.
But how could Gu Xiaoxing let him succeed? He always fought to the death when he got the chance. The Soul Binding Rope shot out from his body and directly wrapped around Chen Changqing. He was about to rush forward, but a spiritual consciousness suddenly descended. Now he was in the air with nowhere to gain support. He had a strong body but it was like being stuck in the mud, making it difficult to approach.
Gu Xiaoxing gritted his teeth, grabbed the chain and pulled it hard, hoping to pull it over and smash it to death with a burning incense, but he failed to pull it.
"With just Qi Condensation, you think you can restrain my Foundation Establishment?" Chen Changqing sneered and struggled hard, trying to break the spiritual rope wrapped around his body. However, no matter how he practiced his cultivation, the spiritual rope did not move at all.
The two looked at each other inexplicably, both of them were stunned...
At this time, Chen Zili swung his sword of destruction again, pointing directly at Chen Changqing's neck.
At this critical moment, the golden soul-eating insect between Chen Changqing's eyebrows suddenly flew out, and turned into a golden stream of light that directly shattered the sword light that was coming at him.
After the foundation is established, the soul-eating insect can leave the body!
The divine patterns of the Soul Binding Rope's secret talisman flashed wildly, but facing the Foundation Establishment cultivator, it could do nothing but slightly bind him. This was the difference in realm. If the Soul Binding Rope had not been forged to the extreme strength, it would have been broken in an instant by the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
You still have to use burning incense to smash it!
Gu Xiaoxing's face turned grim, and he grasped the Soul Binding Rope again and pulled hard. Since he couldn't pull the other person, he tried to pull himself over instead. But before he could get close, a golden light flew over at such a fast speed that it hit Gu Xiaoxing's chest directly. The man spat out a large mouthful of blood in the air, and then fell straight to the ground, and the Soul Binding Rope was untied.
However, the soul-eating insect that knocked Gu Xiaoxing away was not feeling well either. It was suspended in the air and shook its dizzy head, as if it had hit its head against an iron mountain.
Chen Changqing broke free from his restraints and condensed another gray needle.
"Let's see whether your sword of annihilation is more powerful or my divine needle of withering and silence is stronger!"
Chen Changqing pointed his finger, and the thin needle between his fingers moved at an incredibly fast speed, reaching in front of Chen Ziling in an instant. Chen Ziling's reaction was not slow either, and he waved his sword and split the thin needle in half.
But how could the means of the Foundation Establishment Period be so simple? The severed needles instantly reunited and shot out again, directly penetrating into Chen Zili's body. In an instant, he turned pale, and like Xu Qianxing before, he vomited blood and fell to the ground, unable to struggle.
Chen Changqing sneered and was about to pursue the victory, but suddenly, a stronger sense of crisis emerged, as if it was enough to threaten his life. He turned around and saw Du Siyu!
At this moment, Du Siyu was closing her eyes, and her whole body exuded a sense of coldness. It was not the coldness in her temperament, but there was really frost spreading outwards, and the ground was frozen.
Then, among Du Siyu's three thousand strands of black hair, a strand turned white, from black to white. As soon as this strand of white hair appeared, the icy aura increased instantly, and her cultivation level also broke through to the ninth level of Qi Condensation instantly, and then continued to climb...
As Du Siyu slowly opened her eyes, a white palace loomed above her head, and her cultivation aura had reached... the foundation-building stage!
This is not really foundation building, but the aura of cultivation gives people a feeling as strong as building a foundation.
Xu Qianxing, who was looking painful not far away, was stunned when he saw this scene, and then became even more painful. He thought he could easily obtain the foundation of immortality, but he met ruthless people one after another, and now this woman in men's clothing seemed to be the most ruthless one.
For the first time, Chen Changqing's expression changed drastically and became extremely solemn. Whether it was Gu Xiaoxing or Chen Zili before, although they could give him a sense of crisis, they were not enough to threaten his life. However, Du Siyu in front of him made him feel that his life was threatened, and this feeling was extremely strong.
Suddenly, Du Siyu raised her hand and grabbed. In the sky, a huge icy hand condensed out of thin air. Chen Changqing stood in the center of the hand and squeezed it hard, as if to crush it directly.
Chen Changqing was immediately shocked, and felt a strong chill coming from all directions, the chill seemed to make even his soul tremble. He hurriedly controlled the Soul-Eating Insect to attack from outside the big hand, while he himself took out a big knife and used all his strength to bombard the icy big hand. With such an attack from both inside and outside, the big hand immediately shattered.
But Chen Changqing was not feeling well either. He was attacked by the intense cold, and his head and body were covered with ice chips.
Du Siyu concentrated his mind, condensed an ice sword in his hand, and flew up directly. The two sides soon started fighting.
The clash between Foundation Establishment cultivators was far from comparable to that of the Qi Condensation Stage. Gu Xiaoxing crawled up from the ground, looking at the fierce battle in the sky, and felt his scalp tingling. He originally thought that he could almost settle old scores with Du Siyu and discuss the issue of the Chaiyuan surname, but now it seems that he can wait a little longer.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
In such a short time, Gu Xiaoxing didn't know how many times they had collided. If there was a place to gain leverage on the ground, he could use the powerful Three Yang Alchemy Body to perform the Fang Cun Step and barely keep up with this speed. But if he was in the sky, he would probably be smashed to pieces.
