Chapter 102: Doomed

Xu Qing didn’t respond to the Vajra Sect ancestor’s words.

He had never had a habit of chatting with the enemy during a battle. As Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, the flight talisman on his leg shone brightly.

In the next moment, his figure turned into a long ray of light, piercing through the air as he rushed toward the Vajra Sect ancestor. As he approached at a blinding speed, an illusory Droughtdemon shadow appeared behind him.

The Droughtdemon was as ghastly and ferocious as always, and there seemed to be magma flowing under its dry and cracked skin. As soon as it appeared, a fiery aura spread in all directions. The snowflakes falling from the sky instantly melted, first turning into rain, then evaporating into mist.

Xu Qing’s qi and blood erupted forth with astonishing momentum, and the Sea and Mountain Art circulated incessantly within his body. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the Vajra Sect ancestor and punched out.

Killing intent flashed through the Vajra Sect ancestor’s eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned the Vajra guardian projection again. It raised its head to the sky and roared, responding to Xu Qing’s punch with its own.

Neither side held back at all with their strikes. A loud boom resounded, and Xu Qing’s body was knocked backwards, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

Compared to the Vajra Sect ancestor’s Foundation Establishment body, Xu Qing’s own physical body was still a bit inferior.

But the Vajra Sect ancestor wasn’t feeling great, either. The qi and blood in his body surged chaotically, and he was also forced to step backward. His expression was ferocious, but within it was hidden a deep horror. He had already recognized Xu Qing, but the shock in his heart just grew stronger and stronger.

Although the Vajra Sect ancestor had already guessed that Kid’s strength would grow quickly, he never expected that in less than a year, his enemy would go f0rom fleeing frantically to daring to come and attack his sect.

And this Kid’s strength was also in a different dimension compared to before.

“You…” The Vajra Sect ancestor panted and was about to speak, but ferocity flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes as he rushed forward, not caring to listen to the Vajra Sect ancestor’s words.

Booms rang out again unceasingly. Xu Qing’s attacks were incredibly fast, and he didn’t ease up or pause at all. Both fists continuously launched a flurry of blows, and even his legs would sweep out with a kick from time to time. When he was close enough, he would also use his forehead to ruthlessly strike the opponent.

This fierce bombardment left the Vajra Sect ancestor with no time to take a breath. As he was caught in Xu Qing’s momentum, he was gradually suppressed and forced to continuously retreat.

“Courting death!” Noticing his unfavorable situation, the Vajra Sect ancestor roared and quickly formed hand seals with both hands. Suddenly, the magic apertures in his body opened, and a powerful Foundation Establishment pressure instantly spread out. He formed hand seals again, and a dazzling golden light appeared.

This golden light turned into a whip that fiercely lashed toward Xu Qing. Wherever it passed, the air itself seemed to crack.

The Droughtdemon Shadow behind Xu Qing let out a roar, and flames immediately spread into the surroundings. When they touched the whip, shocking crackling sounds echoed out. Although the Droughtdemon Shadow didn’t collapse and managed to grab the whip, the impact of the Foundation Establishment spell still made Xu Qing’s whole body shake. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His body flew backward and fell toward the Vajra Sect’s gate.

At the same time, killing intent filled the eyes of the three elders and the sect master. The other disciples also wore resentful expressions as all of them rushed toward Xu Qing and attacked.

"Die for me!" In mid-air, the Vajra Sect ancestor’s eyes were red. Killing intent burst from his body as he quickly struck out with both hands.

Another Foundation Establishment spell quickly took form. A huge seal appeared in the sky.

It was dozens of meters wide, and the raging wind and snow automatically made way for it. Carrying astonishing momentum, it started to crash down on Xu Qing!

As it pressed down, the entire Vajra Sect mountain shook. The snowflakes in the surroundings were instantly pulverized into powder as astonishing shock waves spread in all directions.

A cold light flashed through the Vajra Sect ancestor’s eyes, and he quickly formed another hand seal. With a wave of his hands, two more Vajra guardian projections appeared in the surroundings, and both of them struck out with their fists at the same time.

Three Vajra guardians and six fists thundered toward Xu Qing from different directions.

If it were any other Qi Condensation cultivator, even if their cultivation was at the absolute peak of the realm, they wouldn’t be able to withstand all of this. Foundation Establishment spells possessed terrifying power themselves, and the pressure spreading out of the magic apertures made them even more potent.

To some extent, this was equivalent to being attacked by seven or eight talisman treasures at the same time.

In this moment of crisis, just as the Vajra Sect members were closing in, the fists of the three Vajra guardian projections were approaching, and that giant seal in the sky was falling, a cold light flashed through Xu Qing’s eyes.

His hands clenched into fists, and an astonishingly powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly burst forth from within his body. The fluctuation rippled outward to almost a hundred meters wide in the blink of an eye and suddenly transformed into a spiritual sea!

As the spiritual sea exploded forth, it carried a terrifying force. Rumbles echoed incessantly as it swept out in all directions.

With the eruption of Xu Qing’s spiritual sea, the Vajra Sect sect master, elders, and disciples were all the same no matter how different their cultivation bases were. In an instant, their bodies trembled violently, then suddenly collapsed!

Wherever the spiritual sea passed, the mountain trembled. Buildings shattered, and everyone in its way… was destroyed in body and spirit!

The Vajra Sect ancestor’s spells also rumbled when they came into contact with this spiritual sea.

The three Vajra guardian projections suddenly blurred and dissipated at a rate visible to the naked eye. The huge seal in the sky wasn’t any different; as it fell, it seemed to suddenly encounter a strong wind and faded away.

The Vajra Sect ancestor’s complexion changed drastically, and he immediately retreated. However, he couldn’t remain completely unaffected. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the internal injuries from his previous clash with Xu Qing worsened.

Although he managed to avoid the sudden attack, his entire left arm was blue-black and filled with rich heterogeneity. A black skewer also shot over and pierced his right shoulder.

Moreover, he noticed that his qi and blood were unstable, and his body was even showing signs of being poisoned. The Vajra Sect ancestor’s heart trembled and his expression turned ugly to the extreme. He quickly swallowed some pills while retreating even farther.

But as he stared at Xu Qing, who was falling from the sky onto the destroyed Vajra Sect, his eyes revealed intense killing intent.

“The Sea Transforming Scripture of Seven Blood Pupils’ Seventh Peak… when the spiritual sea erupts with full power, it can indeed shake a Foundation Establishment cultivator. But it can only be done once. Now that you’ve already used it, you’re dead!”

Xu Qing panted heavily. The barrier of light formed by a talisman treasure shone brightly around his body, but he still coughed up a large mouthful of blood. There was no surprise in his expression; before he came here, he was already very clear about the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, he still felt that he could kill!

As soon as he attacked, he went all-in. Whether it was the heavenly blade strike, the mysterious shadow, the Droughtdemon Shadow, or even the spiritual sea in his body, he didn’t hold anything back.

In particular, from the first attack to now, he had used as many as 73 different kinds of poison!

Everything that had happened so far didn’t differ from his expectations. As soon as the Vajra Sect ancestor looked at him with a cold gaze, Xu Qing raised his right and grabbed fiercely at the air.

With this motion, the Vajra Sect ancestor’s pupils suddenly contracted. The countless snowflakes all around him suddenly changed their trajectory and turned into water droplets one after another.

All the snowflakes within hundreds of meters of the Vajra Sect ancestor quickly turned into water droplets.

“You- How do you still have spiritual energy!!” The moment that the Vajra Sect ancestor cried out in horror, the water droplets all around him swiftly merged together and turned into a huge hand that grabbed toward him.

Rumbling sounds echoed out as the Vajra Sect ancestor coughed up blood and retreated rapidly. Just as waves of shock were tumbling in his heart, the giant water hand changed, transforming into… a plesiosaur!

More accurately, it had transformed into Xu Qing’s Forbidden Sea Dragonwhale. As the dragonwhale lifted its head to the sky and bellowed, a violent aura spread crazily from its body. Filled with ferocity, it snapped its mouth toward the Vajra Sect ancestor!

The Vajra Sect ancestor’s complexion changed drastically, and he couldn’t help but cry out.

"Forbidden Sea Dragonwhale!"

He had some understanding of Seven Blood Pupils and knew that after the Sea Transforming Scripture was cultivated to the eighth level, some outstanding people would form a Forbidden Sea Dragonwhale. This dragonwhale was equivalent to a secondary vessel that could store extra spiritual energy!

However, such people were extremely rare!

Moreover, he noticed that the Forbidden Sea Dragonwhale that Xu Qing summoned had a completely different feeling than any other he’d seen, be it the form or the vast Forbidden Sea aura coming from it.

The Vajra Sect ancestor retreated again and again. He didn’t want to fight anymore. The heterogeneity in his body had become extremely strong, and there was also a poison that he couldn’t seem to detoxify. Even now, it was growing more and more intense, causing a tingling feeling to come from his internal organs. The blood he spat out was black, as if his internal organs were being corroded.

“If I could enter the Profound Brilliance state…”

The Vajra Sect ancestor roared inwardly, filled with helplessness and indignation. The eerie shadow prowling the surroundings caused his heart to tremble. If he let his guard down even a little, it would touch him and cause his heterogeneity to grow even more.

Moreover, Xu Qing continued to attack him. When Xu Qing’s powerful physical body combined with the mighty prowess of the Forbidden Sea Dragonwhale, the Vajra Sect ancestor was instantly thrust into a life-and-death crisis.

“I’m a Departurist Church believer, I…” As he retreated, the Vajra Sect ancestor let out a low roar, but before he could finish speaking, the flight talisman on Xu Qing’s body shone brightly. Xu Qing flew up into the sky and calmly opened his mouth.

“It’s about time.”

This was the first sentence he had spoken since the beginning of the battle.

Before the Vajra Sect ancestor could react, Xu Qing waved his hand. Suddenly… his magic boat appeared!

Its body was dozens of meters long, and its appearance was similar to a ferocious snapping turtle. Combined with its wing-like sails, the magic boat that appeared in the air emitted an indescribable savagery and brutal killing intent.

The dazzling golden light shining from the boat’s body quickly gathered in the sharp spikes at the bow. An aura of divinity erupted from the magic boat and locked on to the Vajra Sect ancestor.

This divinity was like God on high. The wind and snow in the surroundings seemed to dissipate in an instant.

An astonishing pressure descended.

Standing on the magic boat, Xu Qing seemed to be the lord of heaven. As he looked coldly at the Vajra Sect ancestor, he slowly raised his right hand. The divinity gathering in the magic boat became more and more intense. It was clear that once he lowered his hand, an attack powered by divinity would explode out.

This divinity blow was the magic boat’s strongest attack. Originally, Xu Qing had actually planned to use it right at the beginning, but he was worried that it might not be able to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a single strike.

Thus, he made a move personally. After waiting until now, he finally felt that the time was right and took out the magic boat for a certain kill.

The Vajra Sect ancestor’s complexion was unprecedentedly pale, and his scalp tingled so much that it felt like it was about to explode. Extreme disbelief filled his eyes as he suddenly cried out.

"Divinity!!"

The bitterness roiling in the Vajra Sect ancestor’s heart turned completely into horror. The sensation of life-and-death crisis rose endlessly, and every inch of his flesh and blood seemed to be trembling and screaming under this power of divinity, constantly reminding him of his imminent death.

“I can’t escape. If it was before, I might have a chance. But now…” The Vajra Sect ancestor fell into despair. Looking at Xu Qing on the magic boat, he suddenly thought of the ancient books he had read. He hurriedly opened his mouth to shout.

“Fellow Daoist, wait a minute, listen to me, I’m willing to be your slave, I’ll be your slave for the rest of my life, from now on you’re my master, I…”

Xu Qing’s expression was indifferent. He didn’t have a habit of taking in slaves, so he directly ignored the Vajra Sect ancestor’s pleas. In an instant, resolve flashed through his eyes, and he lowered his lifted hand!
