Chapter 127: The Black Water Serpent Appeared, Lu Xueqi Was Injured
At this moment, standing to the side, Li Xun and Yan Hong of Burning Incense Valley had faces filled with smiles that were difficult to put into words.
After all, if this matter was true, a rift would inevitably form between Tianyin Temple and Qingyun Sect.
Although the three great righteous sects belonged to the same righteous alliance, competition between them had never ceased.
At present, Qingyun Sect was the strongest among the three sects, firmly occupying the position of leader.
Meanwhile, Tianyin Temple and Burning Incense Valley were close in strength, but upon closer examination, Tianyin Temple was actually slightly superior.
Moreover, Burning Incense Valley’s sphere of influence was limited to the southwestern regions.
If Tianyin Temple and Qingyun Sect were to develop hostility toward each other, would that not be a perfect opportunity for Burning Incense Valley?
On the other side, Elder Nian and the others from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect also showed strong interest after hearing this matter.
They had never imagined that Puzhi, one of the Four Great Divine Monks of Tianyin Temple, would commit such atrocious acts and even openly massacre an entire village right under the eyes of Qingyun Sect.
The severity of this crime was simply beyond imagination.
Even those of the demonic path would not dare to carry out a village massacre beneath Qingyun Mountain, yet this so-called righteous divine monk had acted with reckless audacity.
Once this matter spread so the world knew, Tianyin Temple’s reputation would surely plummet. To the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and even to the entire demonic path, this was undoubtedly tremendous good news.
After killing Puzhi, Lu Xueqi also let out a slight sigh of relief.
From the earlier situation, Puzhi was clearly a Transmigrator, and one who possessed an extremely powerful System that allowed him to rapidly increase his strength.
Fortunately, Puzhi had revealed himself early. Had he continued to lurk in the shadows and steadily grow stronger, she might not have been his opponent in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Xueqi could not help but secretly feel glad that she had joined the chat group.
Without the chat group, her current strength would never have reached this level.
She then shifted her gaze toward the remaining Ghost Kings.
At this time, there were still four Ghost Kings and numerous ghosts left on the battlefield.
In order to deal with Puzhi, many Ghost Kings had allowed their subordinates to offer themselves as sacrifices, thereby enhancing their own strength.
Now, only around twenty ghosts remained in the field, but every single one of them possessed formidable strength.
When Lu Xueqi looked toward them, these ghosts also turned their gazes back toward her.
After all, the immense vitality contained within Lu Xueqi’s body was extremely tempting to them.
If they could kill her and devour her physical body, they might gain rebirth. This was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.
Thus, today, an intense battle between them and Lu Xueqi was inevitable.
Although the many ghosts were wary of Lu Xueqi’s strength, thinking that they had the advantage in numbers still gave them some courage.
A Ghost King coldly looked at Lu Xueqi and said, “Alright, now that the guy who came to cause trouble has been killed by our joint efforts, it’s time to settle the score between us.”
After speaking, its aura erupted, as if it were about to make a move at any moment.
However, compared to the other Ghost Kings, its strength was far weaker.
Because it had not received any subordinate sacrifices, it was still at the Sixth Level of the Upper Purity Realm, while the other three Ghost Kings had already reached the Ninth Level of the Upper Purity Realm.
As soon as the Ghost King finished speaking, the Scarlet Flame King suddenly kicked it aside.
The Ghost King flew into a rage, scrambled to its feet, and angrily shouted, “Scarlet Flame King, what are you doing?”
The Scarlet Flame King looked at it disdainfully. “Ghost King, our strength now far surpasses yours. Who do you think you are to speak here? Get over there and stay put. From now on, you are my subordinate. If you dare disobey orders or act on your own initiative, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
The Ghost King’s expression changed drastically as it cried out, “Scarlet Flame King! I have always been the ruler of the Dead Spirit Abyss. How could I become your subordinate? Dream on!” As it spoke, it erupted with its aura, attempting to assert its authority.
However, the Scarlet Flame King’s entire body burst forth with an even more terrifying aura, and the horrifying pressure instantly suppressed the Ghost King’s presence.
Sensing this pressure, the Ghost King’s face changed dramatically.
The Scarlet Flame King coldly asked, “Life or death?”
The Ghost King’s expression shifted several times. After feeling the overwhelming pressure, it finally clenched its teeth and knelt down. “I, the Ghost King, am willing to submit!”
The Scarlet Flame King nodded in satisfaction. “Very good.”
Then it looked at Lu Xueqi. “Just as the Ghost King said earlier, it’s time for matters between us to come to an end.”
As its words fell, the Scarlet Flame King, together with the other ghosts, instantly erupted with their full aura, intending to join forces to kill Lu Xueqi.
After killing Puzhi, Lu Xueqi no longer intended to hide her cultivation.
She coldly stared at these ghosts and said in an icy voice, “You refuse the road to heaven and insist on crashing through the gates of hell. Since that’s the case, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Immediately afterward, Lu Xueqi’s aura exploded forth. Terrifying might spread across the heavens and earth, enveloping the entire Dead Spirit Abyss, causing everyone present to feel suffocated.
Sensing this pressure, the Scarlet Flame King and the others were greatly shocked. “You actually possess such strength?”
Lu Xueqi sneered. “Why shouldn’t I?”
She said no more. With a wave of her right hand, countless strands of golden lightning burst forth, transforming into streaks of light as they bombarded the ghosts.
Suppressed by the terrifying pressure, the ghosts found it difficult to move and could only watch helplessly as the lightning struck them. Their soul bodies were instantly destroyed, completely dissipating into nothingness.
The weaker Ghost King was directly annihilated by this strike.
At the moment of death, it was filled with regret for having provoked Lu Xueqi, this killing star, before losing consciousness.
The remaining three Ghost Kings at the Ninth Level of the Upper Purity Realm had a trace of resistance, but it was ultimately futile.
The defenses they barely managed to construct collapsed instantly under Lu Xueqi’s lightning.
The lightning pierced through their bodies, and amid unwilling roars, the three Ghost Kings finally dispersed between heaven and earth.
After killing the three Ghost Kings, Lu Xueqi looked at the more than twenty strands of black qi left behind on the battlefield, her eyes lighting up slightly.
Then, with a wave of her right hand, she collected these strands of black qi, intending to use them to comprehend the power of the Law of Death.
Just as Lu Xueqi let out a slight sigh of relief, a startled cry suddenly came from behind her: “—Watch out!”
This cry caused Lu Xueqi’s mind to tense. Her aura instantly erupted, and energy completely enveloped her body.
At the very instant she was wrapped in energy, a massive black shadow suddenly lashed toward her.
With a thunderous boom, Lu Xueqi was blasted away, smashing downward.
In the moment of her fall, she caught a glimpse of the black shadow out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes instantly widened.
She saw an incomparably gigantic snake tail emerging from below, viciously smashing toward her.
Only then did Lu Xueqi suddenly realize that deep within the endless Nether Sea below, there was still a Black Water Serpent lurking in concealment.
She was filled with regret. “Damn it, how did I forget that beneath the Dead Spirit Abyss, in the Unfeeling Sea, there’s still that enormous Black Water Serpent!”
However, regret was useless at this point. She was slammed into the earth by the snake tail, smashing out a massive crater.
Lu Xueqi only felt excruciating pain throughout her body. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth as she suffered serious injuries.
The power erupted by the Black Water Serpent this time was indeed terrifying, but Lu Xueqi’s own strength was also not weak. It was only because she had responded too hastily that she ended up injured.
After Lu Xueqi was smashed into the ground, the enormous snake tail above once again swept toward the others.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan and the rest hurriedly retreated to avoid it.
Some weaker disciples of the demonic path were directly smashed into bloody pulp the moment the snake tail swept past them.
Other righteous disciples in the sky, including Qin Wuyan and the others, were frightened out of their wits and hurriedly flew higher, trying to escape the Black Water Serpent’s attack range.
While everyone was busy dodging, one figure instead flew against the Black Water Serpent’s attack, heading straight toward the abyss below.
This person was none other than Qi Hao.
At this moment, greed flickered in Qi Hao’s eyes, and anticipation was written all over his face.
He wanted to take advantage of Lu Xueqi’s injury to bind her.
In his view, the strength Lu Xueqi had displayed today far exceeded expectations. Even if he used the promotion gift pack card rewarded by the system, he likely would not be her match.
For him, this was the only chance to bind Lu Xueqi, so he resolutely flew downward, disregarding the terrifying might of the Black Water Serpent.
