Chapter 284: Chapter 136: The Golden Centipede Soul Curse and the Reaction of the Luo Sect (Please Subscribe)_3

Because life is short and the world is impermanent, it was his deepest hidden concern.

Vajra Bell!

Xu Qing had no hesitation in sounding the Vajra Bell, stripping away his sentimental emotions as he stared intently at the newcomer, "As the Luo Sect Master, are these trifle tricks all you’ve got?"

His voice erupted with the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, rippling across the lake’s surface.

The terrifying Divine Soul Power burst forth, raising waves before the small boat, halting its forward momentum.

"Sect Hierarch, he knows the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, as well as the Five Great Demon Gods Visualization Method," said the figure who had just climbed aboard the boat from the water, with a solemn expression.

His arm bore an arrow wound, left by Xu Qing earlier.

This painstakingly cultivated Divine Separation had now suffered a heavy blow in Jiangning Prefecture, barely recovering a bit of vitality, only to be wounded again by Xu Qing, rendering it nearly useless.

However, a Possession Master, the longer they live, the more Divine Separations they have, the stronger they become, and one might not even be able to locate their true form.

At this level, a Dao Skill expert is almost impossible to kill.

On the other hand, normally, the more Divine Separations one has, the easier it is to lose emotional control, descend into madness; if one can’t break through the Ghost Immortal barrier, it’s uncertain whether they will live to die a natural death.

Of course, there are some rare secret techniques that can reduce the side effects of Possession and Soul Splitting, but such Divine Skills are as scarce as the Celestial Stars Divine View level Visualization Methods.

The straw raincoated figure on the boat, looking at Xu Qing on the shore, stopped singing, a smile on his face as he spoke unhurriedly: "Xu Jieyuan, since you have mastered the Five Great Demon Gods Visualization Method, you ought to be counted among our peers. Moreover, the Xu family of Jiangning has the bloodline of our sect’s predecessors."

"What?" Xu Qing was inwardly shaken.

The straw raincoated figure smiled: "It seems Xu Jieyuan is unaware of this matter, why not come aboard and I shall tell you."

His tone was gentle, without any aggression.

"Alright," replied Xu Qing, lifting his foot and striding towards the lake surface without any support.

Boom!

The water on the lake surface exploded as Xu Qing, like a wandering dragon, headed towards the small boat.

Eight Diagram Wandering Dragon Step!

Magic and Martial Unity!

This was the first time Xu Qing publicly displayed the Absolute Skill he had comprehended, the "Eight Diagram Wandering Dragon Palm."

Under the surge of Qi-Blood, the Eight Diagram Wandering Dragon Step allowed Xu Qing to momentarily "walk" on the surface of the lake to advance.

To the person on the boat, it seemed like witnessing the Dao Skill of a spider walking on water.

So young, yet with such cultivation, it was indeed a rare sight in the world.

With each step Xu Qing took on the lake surface, his momentum increased by one.

Facing Xu Qing’s terrifying strike that was gathering momentum.

The straw raincoated figure was not careless; instead, he extended his palm, as white as jade and seemingly boneless, unleashing the strong Qi-Blood of the Refining Internal Level, and the formidable Divine Soul Power.

Hiss!

There appeared to be a layer of Qi-Blood and Divine Soul Power transformed into a serpentine Energy on his palm, his fingertips quivering, pointing towards any direction enveloped by Xu Qing’s palm force.

As Xu Qing got within half a zhang from him, the straw raincoated figure’s hand moved faster than the eye could follow, his fingertips like a venomous snake striking, aiming to kill at Xu Qing’s throat.

This move was both strange and dangerous, not at all caring whether Xu Qing’s momentum-gathering palm would hit his vitals.

It was a suicidal Combat Skill.

Yet, this was precisely what made Possession Masters so fearsome.

Because this was simply the other party’s Possession and Soul Splitting; whether it was the flesh or the Divine Soul, even if destroyed, it was bearable.

But Xu Qing was in his own body, once seriously injured, he would be doomed.

This was like doing business, where the opponent stakes the profits against your principal.

Seeing this, Xu Qing seemingly didn’t care, allowing the snake-like Energy to aim for his throat. But right when it was about to strike, Xu Qing’s palm strike suddenly halted its momentum and shifted sideways.

The straw-hatted man’s snake-form thorn punch immediately found no target.

But he was not surprised; it would be strange if Xu Qing didn’t dodge.

However, in the blink of an eye, the straw-hatted man’s expression subtly changed.

That’s because Xu Qing, shifting his stance horizontally, aimed straight for the straw-hatted man’s nearby Golden Centipede Dharma King’s soul split body.

Bang bang bang!

This palm strike, with its swift and ferocious change of attack, flowed as smoothly as a cascading waterfall, unstoppable once released.

The soul split body of the Golden Centipede Dharma King shook violently.

Xu Qing’s palm strike, although not any divine weapon, instantly destroyed his already damaged body with its bursting dark strength.

Blood spurted from his mouth and his appearance faded.

The soul split had just escaped from his body.

Suddenly, three Demon Gods appeared.

The Vajra King, Asura King, and Yaksha King.

Three Manifestation Level Demon Gods instantly tore the already injured soul split of the Golden Centipede Dharma King into shreds.

"Ha."

The straw-hatted man did not expect Xu Qing’s target to be the Golden Centipede Dharma King’s soul split; his reaction lagged behind by a step.

This was also because he did not want to kill Xu Qing, thus giving Xu Qing a gap to kill the soul split of the Golden Centipede Dharma King.

The straw-hatted man uttered an indignant sound and waved his sleeve.

A strange light emerged from his straw hat, like arrows shooting out, instantly piercing through the three great demons, and with that, their manifested illusions collapsed.

By this time, Xu Qing was continuously retreating, stirring up heavy waves, and returned to the shore.

The straw-hatted man’s expression was calm, ignoring the fallen corpse of the Golden Centipede Dharma King’s soul split that dropped into the lake, while the small boat under his feet shot towards Xu Qing like an arrow leaving the string.

He knew that the gap of time left for him was very brief. If he could not subdue Xu Qing quickly and take the initiative in this action, Elder Fang might rush over.

Unfortunately, had his true body come here, Xu Qing would have already been captured.

However, his true body truly dared not to come to Yingtian Prefecture or even within tens of miles around, lest Elder Fang sensed him and with thousand-mile soul locking, there would be no escape.

Xu Qing laughed heartily, "Sect Hierarch, no need for a long send-off."

His body kept retreating faster and faster.

The straw-hatted man couldn’t help but feel anxious once Xu Qing entered the city and merged into the crowd, with the presence of Elder Fang in the city, there would be no chance to capture him.

"Wait up!"

The land beneath the straw-hatted man’s feet seemingly shrank; he left the boat and in an instant, narrowed the distance between himself and Xu Qing.

Shrinking Ground to Inches!

Just then, a sword light came head-on.

"Taohua Divine Sword," the straw-hatted man naturally recognized it as the holy artifact of the Lotus Sect.

Xu Qing called it the Peach Wood Sword, while the Luo Sect and Lotus Sect referred to it as the Taohua Sword.

"Freeze." The straw-hatted man’s tongue crackled like spring thunder, as if his words followed the law, freezing the sword light of the Peach Wood Sword.

And in a split second, he arrived within inches of Xu Qing.

He reached out towards Xu Qing’s chest.

Xu Qing actually did not evade, but instead, abruptly halted his momentum and pointed out a long-accumulated finger strike.

"Innate Finger!"

A shock of immense surprise flashed through the straw-hatted man’s mind.
