Chapter 38: Desperate Slaughter

“Little bastard, you don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!”

The camp owner, dressed in golden robes, had an extremely ugly look on his face. He hadn’t expected that his subordinates weren’t able to quickly take down the kid in front of him.

Previously, he had boasted that the matter would be dealt with within an incense stick’s worth of time. Now, an incense stick’s worth of time had passed, but it was instead his own people who were dealt with.

“You bunch of trash!” The camp owner’s eyes flashed coldly, and he stepped across the shattered gate to walk towards Xu Qing.

As he walked forwards, immense spiritual energy fluctuations rolled off his body, and his vigorous qi and blood erupted outwards. His body under the robe swelled up, making his figure appear like a mountain.

In addition, a faint golden light spread out from his whole body.

The camp owner was also a body refiner!

However, his cultivation technique obviously wasn’t the low-level Sea and Mountain Art. The camp owner cultivated the Vajra Sect’s ultimate technique, the Vajra Method.

As he circulated his technique at full power, he charged forward with explosive momentum, turning into a massive figured that headed straight for Xu Qing.

His speed was extremely fast, arriving in front of Xu Qing in an instant before punching out. With this punch, the camp owner’s whole body shone with golden light, giving off immense pressure.

Xu Qing glanced over at the brocade-robed man standing next tot he gate and holding Captain Thunder. He suppressed his anxiety and slightly narrowed his eyes.

He knew very well that even if he gained the upper hand against the camp owner, this brocade-robed man would most likely threaten him using Captain Thunder.

Xu Qing definitely didn’t want to see this happen, and the only was to prevent it was to act suddenly.

Act so suddenly that the other party couldn’t even react!

Thus, Xu Qing squinted his eyes and punched out again, directly matching fists with the camp owner.

A loud boom rang out from the collision, and Xu Qing stepped seven or eight steps back. However, he didn’t retreat in a straight line, moving a few steps to the side.

Right now, the sun was behind him, casting his shadow on the ground. As he moved, his shadow also swayed.

At the same time, when their fists collided, the camp owner also sensed Xu Qing’s power. His whole body shook, and he also retreated.

However, the camp owner suddenly raised his head with contempt in his eyes. His body flickered, and he rushed at Xu Qing again. A roaring sound emanated from his body as he circulated his cultivation base.

The camp owner might speak disdainfully and have an arrogant gaze, but when he attacked… he went all out.

It seemed that his arrogant appearance was deliberate. After all, he was capable of becoming the camp owner that terrorized everyone in the scavenger camp. Although he was a sect disciple, he couldn’t be underestimated.

"Vajra First Move!" the camp owner roared. His body swelled up again as he spoke, and his strength and speed skyrocketed. Reaching Xu Qing in the blink of an eye, he smashed down ruthlessly.

Xu Qing lowered his head to hide his eyes before raising his hands to block the sudden attack. Another boom rang out, and he backed up again. The shadow shook a little more as he moved.

However, no one noticed it.

“Vajra Second Move!” Seeing that Xu Qing actually withstood two of his blows, the camp owner, who was at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Condensation, was filled with killing intent.

His whole body swelled up again before he punched Xu Qing once more.

With this punch, the golden light around him became even stronger, but the moment it approached, Xu Qing suddenly lifted his head.

Killing intent erupted from his eyes, and he quickly shifted his position so that his shadow faced the brocade-robed old man.

With the help of his movements, he managed to conceal the distortion that appeared when he manipulated the shadow.

And because of the angle that the sun shone down on him, his shadow grew long, reaching near the brocade-robed old man.

When Xu Qing raised his head and killing intent burst out from his whole body, he directly ignored the camp owner’s punch and jumped up.

As he jumped, his shadow suddenly crossed the remaining distance to touch the brocade-robed old man.

Suddenly, the shadow abruptly twisted, directly covering the brocade-robed old man’s right wrist that was holding Captain Thunder!

It didn’t touch Captain Thunder’s body at all!

This was another important reason why he had kept adjusting his position.

In an instant, Xu Qing let out a low growl, and the shadow’s bizarre power suddenly erupted.

The brocade-robed man’s complexion instantly warped with intense pain. The sudden outburst of heterogeneity directly turned his right hand blue-black.

Startled by this sudden change, he reflexively let go of Captain Thunder’s body.

Just as he let go, Xu Qing charged over, resolutely enduring the camp owner’s punch. Blood spurted out of his mouth as he accelerated explosively.

His whole body turned into an afterimage as he suddenly disappeared from his original position, charging towards the brocade-robed old man.

In addition, the iron skewer and dagger turned into two lightning-like rays of light, whistling towards the brocade-robed man, who was in the middle of dealing with his mutated right hand. The old man was forced to step back to avoid them.

As he dodged, Xu Qing rushed in and grabbed Captain Thunder.

Xu Qing quickly threw Captain Thunder outwards, and Cross and Luan Ya jumped out of the crowd to catch him. As soon as they caught Captain Thunder, they quickly retreated.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. It was too fast!”

“Your shadow!!” The brocade-robed old man’s complexion changed, and he suddenly gave Xu Qing a second look. Everything that happened just now was too sudden and unexpected, making him unable to react in the slightest.

The camp owner behind the gate also narrowed his eyes. Xu Qing’s series of actions thoroughly shocked him.

Xu Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the two coldly. Beneath the setting sun, his figure seemed like an eagle as he spoke in a low voice.

“Now, it’s my turn.”

As soon as he spoke, he dashed straight towards the brocade-robed old man. Compared to the body refiner camp owner, Xu Qing felt that he wanted to kill the magic arts cultivator first.

He charged out and instantly closed in.

The brocade-robed old man had an ugly expression on his face. He quickly stepped backwards and pointed at Xu Qing. Mist rapidly condensed and turned into the figure of an evil ghost, pouncing fiercely at Xu Qing.

The camp owner also let out a low growl, and golden light radiated from his whole body. He charged towards Xu Qing from the other side, forming a pincer attack with the brocade-robed old man’s spell.

In this critical situation, Xu Qing’s eyes shone coldly, and his qi and blood exploded forth from his whole body.

A boom rang out as the force of his qi and blood swept across the surroundings like a storm. An enormous Chief Shadow appeared, looking incomparably fierce as it emitted a soundless roar.

Xu Qing raised both his hands and formed two fists, punching out at both sides at once!

And when he punched out, the Chief Shadow behind him also split into two, rushing towards the camp owner and brocade-robed old man at the same time.

“Qi and blood forming a shadow!! This… this…”

The camp owner’s expression changed drastically. When his fist met Xu Qing’s left hand, the grinning Chief Shadow pounced at him, and the golden light around his body dimmed instantly as he was sent flying twenty to twenty-five meters away.

The brocade-robed old man also wore a look of terror on his face. The evil spirit summoned by his spell trembled as the Chief Shadow directly swallowed it. With a grin, the Chief Shadow continued to run straight toward the old man.

A bang echoed in all directions as the brocade-robed old man coughed up blood, retreating rapidly.

But just them, a blue barrier appeared outside his body. Thanks to that, he only coughed up blood and wasn’t seriously injured.

The source of this barrier was a talisman paper!

This was… a talisman treasure!

Xu Qing’s complexion was also pale. Although he was strong, his internal organs were still shaken by the camp owner and brocade-robed old man’s pincer attack.

Blood overflowed from his mouth, but Xu Qing’s ferocity remained undiminished. Taking advantage of the camp owner’s shock, Xu Qing burst out with killing intent as he sprinted straight to the brocade-robed old man.

He punched with all his strength.

“Courting death!” The brocade-robed old man’s complexion was pale, but he had a sinister look in his eyes.

While retreating and maintaining the talisman treasure’s barrier, he formed seals with both hand. Suddenly seven or eight evil spirits appeared out of nowhere.

Each of them was comparable to the seventh level of Qi Condensation, and with chilling roars, they moved towards Xu Qing.

A fierce light shone in Xu Qing’s eyes. He didn’t dodge, allowing those evil spirits to gnaw at his whole body as he continued forward without losing any momentum. His speed didn’t slow at all as he threw a punch.

Amidst a loud boom, the talisman treasure’s barrier shook.

However, it was indeed a talisman treasure. It was difficult to destroy unless it became completely exhausted.

However, it was obvious that even this brocade-robed old man couldn’t own a second talisman treasure. This talisman treasure had clearly been used countless times, and the writing on it had faded quite a bit.

Right now, under Xu Qing’s constant attacks, it faded even faster.

The brocade-robed old man’s expression changed drastically again.

He could feel Xu Qing’s ruthlessness and knew that his life was at stake. Madness appeared in his eyes as he formed hand seals and blood spurted out of his flesh. The blood turned into a blood shadow that charged toward Xu Qing with a whistling sound.

But Xu Qing’s qi and blood surged again, and he ignored the opponent’s spell. Not caring about suffering injuries, he continued to punch!

“Captain Thunder is at the end of his life, but you don’t let him go!”

Xu Qing’s eyes were red, and the Chief Shadow roared at the sky, fusing with his fist that struck down with a bang.

Althought the talisman treasure could still persist, the violent vibration still caused the brocade-robed old man to spurt out blood as his body was slammed backwards. The madness in his eyes turned into panic.

The feeling of imminent death made him let out a sharp roar.

“Zhang Shiyuan, what are you doing! Come and help me fight!”

Zhang Siyuan was the camp owner’s name. Hearing these words, he suppressed the shock in his heart and rushed forward.

At that moment, the blood shadow had drilled a bloody hole through Xu Qing’s somach, but Xu Qing didn’t care about the extreme pain. His qi and blood surged even more, and the fury and madness in his heart reached an extreme.

“Captain Thunder chose to avoid you, but you still want to harass him!”

“Captain Thunder’s life has been miserable, but you still want to kill him!!”

Xu Qing seemed to have gone mad, constantly punching the old man’s barrier with everything he had. The Chief Shadow roared at the sky and coordinated with his punches.

The booms reverberated through the camp, and the writing on the talisman treasure became more and more blurred. It hadn’t broken yet, but the brocade-robed old man already couldn’t withstand the shock waves from Xu Qing’s attacks.

An indescribable panic flooded his mind, and the feeling of imminent death grew even stronger.

His talisman treasure had miraculous effects against magic arts cultivators, but body refiners’ attacks created shock waves that harmed his body even behind the barrier.

The old man was anxious and desperate, and he knew he couldn’t hold on for much longer as blood continuously gushed out of his mouth.

He wanted to call for help, but the shock waves reverberated through his whole body, making him unable to speak. His body trembled to the extreme, and the shock and fear made it impossible for him to cast spells. All he could do was wail pitifully in his heart.

“I… I don’t want to die, I...”

In the next moment, veins throbbed on Xu Qing’s forehead and his eyes were red with blood. He clasped his hands together and bashed down on the talisman treasure with all his strength.

“Die!”

An intense and violent power exploded outwards. The talisman treasure’s barrier warped, but it still didn’t collapse; however, the old man inside trembled violently, and his eyes bugged out.

His body could no longer bear the constant shock waves.

His eyes instantly burst open, his internal organs collapsed, and his flesh and bones were crushed into a meat paste!

After finishing this, Xu Qing panted and suddenly turned his head, punching out behind him. His fist immediately collided with the approaching camp owner.

His injured body was immediately sent flying twenty to twenty-five meters away. More than half of his recently healed wounds opened up again, and blood spurted through the air. Under the light of the setting sun, Xu Qing had turned into a blood person.

As for the camp owner, he felt a strong sense of shock.

He looked at his collaborator who had been smashed into meat paste, then at the blood-covered Xu Qing. The young man still maintained an offensive stance. With those eyes full of killing intent staring at him, the camp owner felt cold sweat drip down his back.

The surrounding scavengers were extremely shocked. When they looked at Xu Qing, the only things in their eyes were astonishment and… awe.
