Chapter 223 Qiu Shou Xian Wants to Kill Someone to Silence Them
Although Qiu Shouxian could not slaughter all the creatures of Wuyi Mountain and destroy this ancient blessed land, he would never yield an inch to Qingmu.
His eyes flashed with a cold light, and a murderous aura surged forth, firmly locking Qingmu and Randeng, who was hiding behind him, in place.
Seeing that Qiu Shou Xian's murderous intent had not diminished but increased, Ran Deng hurriedly struggled to his feet and said urgently to Qing Mu:
"Fellow Daoist, he intends to kill both of us. Quickly lead me into the protective mountain formation for temporary refuge; this formation is not one he can break!"
Aoki stared at the murderous-looking Qiu Shou Xian, then glanced at the panicked Ran Deng. He steeled his heart and prepared to activate his magic to take Ran Deng into the protective array.
However, before he could even get up, the surrounding scenery had already changed drastically.
A colorless and odorless plague-like aura spread out, instantly forming an impenetrable wall of poisonous miasma that separated the two people from the entrance to the formation.
As soon as Aoki touched the edge, his robes and sleeves hissed and the spiritual light dimmed, causing him to retreat hastily, his face turning deathly pale.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the Taibai Daoist Temple! The Master is a direct disciple of the Three Pure Ones. Please think carefully before you act. If the Master finds out about what happened today, you will probably have a hard time explaining yourself."
Aoki forced himself to remain calm and invoked the name of Taibai.
Although he followed Taibai in his early years and practiced asceticism in Wuyi Mountain, he had no contact with Taibai's fellow disciples.
Qiu Shou Xian was fully aware of this, and that was why his killing intent was even stronger.
He not only recognized the mountain gate guard, Qingmu, but also plotted to destroy him completely, annihilating his soul and spirit, and erasing his chance to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
Only in this way can today's events become a secret that plunges us into the abyss forever, without any future trouble.
"So what? Since you, fellow Daoist, have stumbled into this calamity on your own, I will grant you utter annihilation. That would be clean enough. Moreover, as long as you two are reduced to ashes, I believe Taibai will not be able to find anything out."
Before the words were even finished, the murderous intent had already reached its peak.
The last shred of hope in Ran Deng's heart completely vanished. He never expected that Qiu Shou Xian would be so insane, not even caring about Tai Bai's feelings.
With his escape route blocked by the plague and no reinforcements in sight, facing a powerful immortal at full strength, he knew that he and Qingmu were trapped and doomed.
Despair overwhelmed his Dao heart like a tidal wave, leaving him with no strength left to struggle.
Meanwhile, Taibai was quietly observing the area.
The Investiture of the Gods calamity affected the heavens and earth. Although he did not personally oversee Wuyi Mountain, he was always aware of every movement within the temple grounds.
Due to the limitations of his background, Qingmu's cultivation progresses slowly, and without experience, he may not be able to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
However, Xiao Hei often caught his attention. Now, Xiao Hei's cultivation had reached the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and his physical body had been tempered to the terrifying mid-stage of Daluo Golden Immortal. His blood energy was so strong that it seemed to possess the power of an ancient ancestral dragon that roamed the world.
At this moment, Xiao Hei had just woken up, and he should also know about what was happening outside Wuyi Mountain.
Therefore, the reason why Taibai hesitated to make a move was to see if Xiao Hei could fight the Qiu Shou Xian in front of him with his physical body.
Just as Qiu Shou Xian was about to unleash his fatal blow, his body shifted slightly.
Without warning, the entire majestic and continuous Wuyi Mountain range suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards, space at the core of the array violently distorted.
A domineering dragon roar pierced through the formation and the poisonous miasma, resounding in the ears of every living being.
"roar!!!"
Where the dragon roared, the mountains and valleys trembled in unison.
Qiu Shouxian suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, his pupils contracted sharply, and the magical power accumulated in his Lion-Headed Blade momentarily faltered.
The dragon's roar contained not merely magical pressure, but a more noble awe of bloodline.
"What is it?"
Qiu Shou Xian was filled with shock and anger, and roared to dispel the sudden chill in his heart.
The sense of crisis was stronger than ever before, and the great Luo magic power around him surged wildly into the Lion Dragon Blade.
The blade's light surged and soared into the sky, manifesting behind it a colossal lion statue that reached the heavens and stood upright.
With its eyes wide open in fury, the lion roared as if it were about to devour the heavens, its ferocious power sweeping across all directions and dispersing much of the spreading plague.
Suddenly, from the trembling core, a gigantic dragon claw emerged.
Immediately, its massive body broke free from the constraints of space and snaked its way out.
Its length was unknown, spanning thousands of miles. Even with only a portion of its body visible, it already filled the sky within the formation, casting a shadow that completely enveloped the dragon-headed immortal.
Its entire body was jet black, its scales shimmering with a dark, heavy luster, and its cold, vertical pupils locked onto the monstrous-headed immortal.
This suddenly appearing black dragon actually crashed directly into Qiu Shou Xian.
The enormous dragon head, carrying the force to crush mountains, ignored the flashing blade and the roaring lion shadow, and crashed straight into the true form and Dharma image of the dragon-headed immortal.
Boom boom boom!
An indescribable roar erupted, tearing open the sky with a black rift stretching for thousands of miles, which remained unhealed for a long time.
The incomparably powerful phantom of the blue-haired lion couldn't even withstand it for a moment before being violently knocked away.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
It crashed through countless remaining barriers and restrictions outside Wuyi Mountain, finally plunging into a desolate swamp tens of thousands of miles away, stirring up towering waves and forming a bottomless crater.
After Qiu Shou Xian was knocked away, the black dragon transformed back into Xiao Hei.
When Aoki saw Kuro, the tension in his heart finally eased.
"Fortunately, you arrived in time. If you had come even a moment later, I fear I would have perished here."
Aoki looked at Xiao Hei with a hint of resentment in his voice.
Xiao Hei, however, turned his gaze to the cultivator behind Qingmu, and he immediately recognized him as Randeng, the vice leader of the Chan Sect.
The blue-haired lion from earlier was Qiu Shou Xian, one of the seven attendant immortals of the Jie Sect.
Without needing to speculate further, Xiao Hei already understood that this matter was definitely not something they could get involved in.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Qingmu's hand and was about to lead him back to the mountain-protecting formation.
"Fellow Daoists, please wait! Please save my life! Fellow Daoist Xiao Hei, have you forgotten?"
"We know each other. I even helped you when you were in Kunlun Mountain!"
If Ran Deng hadn't said that last sentence, things would have been fine. But upon hearing it, a hint of disgust flashed in Xiao Hei's eyes.
It should be noted that the disciples of the Chan Sect, influenced by Yuanshi Tianzun, disliked those who were born with fur and horns or those who were born from eggs or moisture. Therefore, the disciples of the Chan Sect also held some prejudice against Xiao Hei.
Among all the disciples of the Chan Sect, the one who discriminated against him the most was none other than the vice-leader, Randeng.
On several occasions, he even considered killing the lamp-bearer first.
Now, Ran Deng actually wants to beg him for help?
Xiao Hei really couldn't understand how this person could have the audacity to say such a thing.
He ignored Ran Deng and turned to Qing Mu, whispering:
"Aoki, stop looking and let's go. This person's life or death is none of our business. That Qiu Shou Xian is at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and he's not easy to deal with."
