out of time

Chapter 60
As time passed, the wind and rain became stronger.

The whining sound of the wind, like crying, hovered in the main city of Seven Blood Eyes, wandering in every street, every alley, meeting and embracing with the rain from the sky again and again.

It also landed on Banquan Road, around Xu Qing.

The rain hit the bricks and tiles on the side, making the sound of pagodas, and the wind, not to be outdone, blew his long gown and made a rattling noise.

As for Xu Qing standing under the eaves, it seemed that he would not be disturbed by the wind and rain, and his whole body merged into the darkness, like a hunter, motionless, staring coldly.

He was patient, breathing evenly, without rushing or rushing.

Just like that, another hour passed, when the lights of thousands of households had already been extinguished, and the whole city was plunged into darkness and silence, only the rustling sound of rain came out, a figure slowly appeared inside the inn.

It was a middle-aged monk wearing a red robe. The body under the robe seemed to be very strong, with extremely broad shoulders. Standing there would give people a sense of oppression. It was Qing Yunzi.

The spiritual energy fluctuations on his body are also very good, reaching the ninth level of condensed energy, which seems to be very strong.

But this kind of strength is only relative to the small forces of Xiaozong. For the disciples of Qixuetong, the difference in skills has already widened the foundation of both parties, and they can survive in the ferocious environment of the main city of Qixuetong. If he grows up, then he only needs to condense seven layers of energy to suppress a small sect like him at the ninth layer.

So this made him very cautious in the main city of Seven Blood Eyes.

At the moment at the door of the inn, he first looked around to make sure there was no danger, and then he took a step. The moment he stepped out of the inn, his whole body shook violently, and he was about to leave in the rainy night.

But within five steps, Qing Yunzi's complexion changed, as if he had a talent for identifying danger. Although he didn't see Xu Qing, he seemed to have sensed the danger, so he turned around suddenly and went straight to the inn.

Xu Qing frowned slightly. He originally planned to wait for the other party to run a little longer before making a move, but the other party's vigilance was too high. At this moment, there was a stern light in his eyes, and he stepped out.

The speed is so fast that his whole body is like a flash of lightning, shuttling through the rain.

The rain falling in front of him became extremely slow, and the whole street set off a sonic boom at this moment.

As the rain splattered one after another, Xu Qing's figure was like a slinging arrow, heading straight for Qing Yunzi outside the inn like a broken arrow.

Qing Yunzi's complexion changed drastically. He saw Xu Qing, felt the horror of this speed, and even felt the forbidden sea breath from the psionic energy in the opponent's body. He suppressed his whole body and made his own psionic energy stagnate. The crisis broke out at this moment.

His eyes turned red in an instant, biting the tip of his tongue as if he had inspired a secret technique, he forcibly activated his cultivation, his speed skyrocketed, and he was about to rush into the gate of the inn.

And at the moment inside the gate of the inn, the old man smoking a pipe also appeared there, looking at Xu Qing who was heading straight for this place in the light and darkness of the fireworks.

In the next moment, Qing Yunzi's eyes were full of blood, only half a step away from the gate of the inn. The moment he raised his right foot and was about to step in, a black light approached at a faster speed, carrying a cold light and a strong forbidden feeling. Hai Lingneng broke through Qing Yunzi's cultivation base protection, and suddenly passed through his raised right calf.

The speed was so fast and the impact was so strong that Qing Yunzi let out a miserable scream in this silent night.

He couldn't land his right foot, his body was shifted by the impact, and he couldn't stand still when he staggered. When he had to take a step back, a second black glow came roaring, it was a dagger.

bang.

The speed of the dagger was astonishing, and in an instant, it pierced directly into Qingyunzi's left arm. Terrifying spiritual energy erupted in his body, destroying his meridians, and at the same time nailed his body to the ground, with his face on the ground, a distance away from the inn gate. , only one-arm range.

While screaming, Qingyunzi's forehead bulged with blue veins, struggling to pull out the dagger, and crawled towards the inn, but it was too late, Xu Qing's figure was approaching, and he stepped on Qingyunzi's back.

This kick was extremely powerful, and with a click, the spine on his back was broken. The severe pain made Qing Yunzi's whole body tremble violently, and his scream became even more horrific.

In his misery, the old man in the inn put down the chimney in his hand. At this moment, his whole body seemed to exude a dangerous atmosphere, and he looked coldly at Xu Qing who appeared at the door.

"You want to break my rules?"

His two eyes turned yellow, and tentacles could be seen poking out of them, and cracks appeared between his brows, as if there was something in his body that was about to poke out at this moment, it was shocking.

At the same time, in his inn, there was a strange noise at this moment. A huge python with the thickness of three people actually hung down from the beam of the inn. Its vertical pupils were cold and bloodthirsty, staring at Xu Qing.

Not only that, there are also a large number of centipedes coming out of the ground, all of which are extremely dark and highly poisonous, and they all pose to attack, and from the surrounding houses, there is a sharp aura, locking Xu Qing at the same time, Ropes hung from the roof.

These ropes seem to have life, like hanging ropes, and they are slightly looped at this moment, as if they will be wrapped around Xu Qing in the next moment, and there is an endless breath of death on them, as if countless people died on these hanging ropes do.

They were staring at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing stood at the door, stepped on the back of the screaming man, and looked up at the old man in the inn.

The two looked at each other.

Xu Qing didn't seem to notice the strange beasts in the inn, the aura locks from all around, and those ropes. He just looked at the old man.

Kui Ying appeared behind him, pitch-black like a ghost, ready to go out ferociously.

At the same time, Xu Qing's Sea Mountain Art was running at full capacity, and every flesh and blood in his body was ready for a complete eruption at this moment.

The same is true for the Huahaijing, the surrounding rain stopped in mid-air at this moment, surrounding Xu Qing, echoing with the spiritual sea in his body.

It seems that the art of killing can be formed at any time.

The same is true for the poison, as well as his shadow, which has spread silently and undetectably into the inn, to the feet of the weird old man.

Especially above his head, surrounded by water droplets at this moment, there is an illusory long knife, which is looming, as if it contains a vast power, now compressed, it can cut down the ground like a heavenly knife at any time.

Xu Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the old man in front of him. He was not intimidated by the tentacles in front of him and the forehead that was about to split. He knew that the opponent was strong, but he also had a way to retreat completely, so he looked calm and spoke seriously.

"He didn't step in, it's not a bad rule."

There was a faint light in the old man's eyes. After staring at Xu Qing for a while, he suddenly smiled.

"You're right."

As soon as the smile came out and the words echoed, all the aura locked on Xu Qing outside the inn disappeared in an instant, the python in the inn also retracted to the beam, and the centipede on the ground dissipated into the ground with the rustling sound.

Those ropes were also fuzzy, and soon disappeared. As for the old man himself, the tentacles of his eyes and the cracks on his forehead all dissipated, and he turned back into the appearance of an unremarkable old man. He picked up the pipe and took a puff.

"Is the corpse sold?"

Xu Qing shook his head, grabbed Qing Yunzi's hair, and spoke lightly amidst the trembling of the other party.

"Where was that woman you caught two days ago?"

Qing Yunzi's hair was disheveled, his face was covered with blood, and he was extremely embarrassed.

She was trembling at the moment, but seemed to want to speak hard, and was about to vomit blood at Xu Qing, but Xu Qing pressed her head to the ground and wiped it seriously.

When the screams became more severe, Xu Qing raised his hand and pressed on Qingyunzi's right arm, crushing all the bones little by little, and then replaced the other arm. The severe pain made Qingyunzi tremble and he couldn't scream.

Xu Qing looked calm, checked carefully, and punched Qingyunzi's dantian again, destroying his cultivation base. After making sure that the other party was no longer threatening, he stood up, put away the dagger and black iron stick, and grabbed Qingyunzi with one hand. feet, dragged forward.

The contact between the flesh and the ground, even though it was cushioned by the rain, but the feeling of the flesh slowly breaking and rolling and being rubbed made Qing Yunzi scream more sharply.

As Xu Qing moved forward, the screams continued, and a bloodstain slowly appeared on the ground. Although it was washed away by the rain, the traces could still be seen.

This scene caused the old man in the inn to narrow his eyes. He looked at the young man who had gone away in the rainy night, and heard the inhuman scream of Qing Yunzi who was being dragged by him. After a long while, he murmured.

"This kid is ruthless..."

In this way, Qing Yunzi's screams continued all the way, and all the people walking in the dark on the way were shocked after seeing this scene, and were extremely impressed by the expressionless young figure.

Even among the patrolling disciples, some of them heard the noise and rushed over. After seeing it, they recognized Qing Yunzi's identity, their expressions changed, and they all looked at Xu Qing.

Able to kill the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation, although he is only a minor cultivator of a small sect, but he was captured alive and tortured to this point, which shows his combat power and ruthlessness. No one is willing to provoke such a person easily.

This battle gave Xu Qing some prestige in the main city.

But Qingyunzi lost all his toughness after persisting for an hour. While in a coma, he told Xu Qing a location, and also told Xu Qing the secret about the informant.

That informant was actually Qing Yunzi's eyeliner. He didn't know that the other party had told Xu Qing about him, but he had a habit of using any eyeliner for a period of time before it would be discarded.

This time, it's the eyeliner's turn.

According to the address provided by Qing Yunzi, after Xu Qing went there, he checked carefully to make sure there was no ambush before he actually stepped in. In the end, he saw the dying informant in a sealed dungeon filled with countless foul smells.

After losing the spirit coin, the smell of the poisonous powder left on his body was confused again, and it was closed in this sealed place, so Xu Qing couldn't find it.

But she wasn't dead yet, surrounded by rotting corpses, both men and women.

The way these people died was extremely miserable. They were obviously tortured cruelly during their lifetime, and a formation seemed to be drawn on the ground, as if their death was some kind of ritual.

The arrival of Xu Qing caused the informant to weakly open her eyes. When she saw Qing Yunzi who was unconscious beside her, her whole body became crazy with strength from nowhere. Regardless of Xu Qing's presence, she rushed forward and bit him like a wild beast. , biting the comatose Qingyunzi awake, screaming, and finally she bit Qingyunzi's neck, one bite after another.

She didn't stay there until Qing Yunzi was bloody and bloody, her body convulsed and died, and she instinctively raised her head to look at Xu Qing who was expressionless.

In her eyes, Xu Qing, who was dressed in a gray robe, had a tall and straight figure, his handsome face exuded an elusive cruelty that made her elusive, and the aura emanating from her body made her a little breathless.

So the madness on her face was slowly suppressed, and after she became calm, under Xu Qing's gaze, she gradually revealed her cuteness, her body trembled instinctively, as if she remembered something, and hurriedly rummaged here.

Finally found a jade slip, looked up at Xu Qing, knelt down slowly, as if surrendering, and held it to Xu Qing with both hands.

Xu Qing took the jade slip, which recorded an evil formation, which described that after the opening of the ceremony, incredible power would descend.

But the conditions for the opening of this formation require the emotions of creatures, joy, anger, sorrow, joy and other extreme emotions.

Silently watching the miserable world in the dungeon, after a long silence, Xu Qing dragged Qing Yunzi's body away, before leaving, his voice echoed in the woman's ears.

"In the future, you must be my informant seriously."

Following the sound came another spirit coin and an antidote.

Holding the spirit coin and the antidote, the woman stared blankly at Xu Qing who was going away. His back was in her eyes and gradually engraved in her soul, and she bowed her head in agreement.

At this moment, it was not far from dawn outside, Xu Qing took out a black paper umbrella, dragged Qing Yunzi's broken body, and walked silently on the street.

The accumulation of clouds in the sky seemed to reflect his mood, until he sent Qing Yunzi's body back to the department. After leaving in surprise from his colleagues, Xu Qing looked at the Chuyang in the sky, and at the sight of the gods in the distance. With a broken face, the eyes showed tenacity.

"In this cruel and chaotic world, only by becoming stronger can we avoid...becoming someone else's fish!"
