Chapter 304 I'm thinking...
As Zhao Qing took off Liang Qing's head, the smile on Hong Ning's lips slowly faded, and her blood-stained face looked a little dull.
Outside the window, the wind and snow are blowing, and the setting sun is red.
The headless corpse still stood with its hands behind its back, and the splattered blood fell on the green dragon wall carving, which seemed to make the blood-red eyes even more weird.
Zhao Qing withdrew his magic and looked calm.
He glanced at the swaying head in his hand again, and on that gloomy face... there was a hint of cruel and disdainful smile.
In an instant, the intricate and mysterious formation pattern stretched from heaven to earth, rising from under the foundation covered by layers of snow, sealing the entire Blood Robe Tower within it.
The majestic spiritual energy rolled back, and the terrifying pressure caused the flying snow and the cold wind to stop for a moment.
In the huge dark green city, the white jade flying boat driven by Liu Zijing slowly sank and floated.
Five figures appeared in an instant beside the flying boat. They were the two Nascent Souls and three Golden Cores guarding the city... Zheng Linjiang was also among them.
However, these five people did not make any further moves, but just blocked the pressure and spiritual power that Liu Zijing was pouring out.
It's not that they intended to hold back.
But... before night falls, a star appears in the depths of the red clouds.
A black veil was swirled by the cold wind, rising and falling above the vast glacier, and then outlined by the star into a delicate curve...
The enchanting woman finally stood at the end of the jade boat, and the lotus seal on her profile was emitting a strange glow. Qingrao ignored the five Yujing monks in front of her, but stared silently at the Blood Robe Tower sealed by the formation with her beautiful eyes, as if waiting for something.
This sealing formation is not something from the mortal world, nor is it something from the blood-stained robe, and it is certainly not the formation of the Shattered Star Tower...
The Holy Land of Nine Swords, the Absolute Immortal Map!
Even if the Nascent Soul enters, it will be difficult to leave.
This is a killing formation, and more importantly, a trapping formation. People outside the formation cannot enter, and people inside the formation cannot leave... Anyone who touches the formation will die and their soul will be destroyed.
At this moment, countless cultivators wanted to step out of the Blood Robe Tower and die under the complex array pattern that contained murderous intent.
There was no sound and everything was silent.
The crimson sunset filled the sky, and the wind and snow became more intense.
……
Under the Qinglong wall carving, Hong Ning was stunned for a moment, then showed an even brighter smile, but with a hint of helplessness and regret in it.
Her watery eyes swept across the corpse in front of her and the array pattern outside the window, then she looked at Zhao Qing and whispered, "Blame me."
"Do not blame you."
Zhao Qing comforted him softly, his expression becoming more solemn. After putting Liang Qing's head away, he raised his hand and slowly removed the...Infant-Splitting Curse that had not been used on the corpse.
This talisman, which was powerful enough to kill a cultivator's Nascent Soul, actually only burned the surrounding spiritual energy and did not cause any harm to Liang Qing's body.
There is nothing wrong with the talisman, the problem is... Liang Qing.
There was no problem with all of Hong Ning's arrangements, and her cooperation with her aunt Zhao Qing was seamless.
Liang Qing's death was unexpectedly smooth.
Zheng Linjiang, who was guarding him closely, was easily tricked away from this place.
This blood-robed disciple who was at the ninth level of foundation building was completely defenseless... and was beheaded by Zhao Qing with a single sword strike.
The Infant-Splitting Curse arrived as expected, suppressing the corpse before its Nascent Soul could escape.
But... his Nascent Soul did not counterattack, nor did it escape.
The infant-splitting spell failed!
Among all the preparations made by Zhao Qing and his group, killing Liang Qing required three steps.
The first thing they had to do was to get the helpers who were guarding him to leave, and they did that.
Then they directly wiped out Liang Qing, and they did it...without any effort.
Finally, before its Nascent Soul escapes, it must be strangled with the Infant-Splitting Curse...
Zhao Qing and Hong Ning looked at each other and understood the current situation without words.
Liang Qing's Nascent Soul was not in his body at all!
If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, his own Nascent Soul would naturally guard the Palace of Life, but Liang Qing, who had taken over another body to cultivate again, was a little different.
He seems very cowardly.
The Nascent Soul and the body have always been separated. Only when practicing with the help of the Nascent Soul can it be returned to the Palace of Life.
Zhao Qing took a deep breath, held the invisible sword at his side with one hand, and tightly grasped Hong Ning's wrist with the other hand, waiting for the change to come.
My aunt and Bai Wanqiu shouldn't encounter too much trouble together.
This formation that covered the entire Blood Robe Building obviously blocked Qing Rao outside the building.
what does this mean?
it goes without saying.
I am looking for Liang Qing, and Liang Qing is waiting for me.
What is he waiting for me to do?
Hong Ning whispered softly, "He wants your body, the Azure Dragon entering the life posture, to prove that he can walk in blood."
Zhao Qing was silent for a moment, then he lifted up Hong Ning's hand and placed something he was holding tightly in her hand, then helped her to slowly tighten her grip...
"I never gave you anything."
"When you accompanied me back to the sword formation, the Queen and I got it together."
"The Hanguang Sword is yours."
"If I am possessed, kill me."
In an instant, Zhao Qing understood the critical situation.
Liang Qing wanted to kill himself in the beginning because the identity of Qinglong in his life was a huge threat to him.
But for someone who wants to compete with the Blood-Cloaked Walker, the more perfect choice than killing the Azure Dragon is obviously to become the Azure Dragon.
Ordinary foundation-building cultivators do not have this opportunity.
But Liang Qing does.
He was originally the one who possessed another body, and he had every chance to possess another body again... erase his consciousness, replace himself, and obtain everything from him.
Hong Ning slowly tightened the invisible sword in her hand, and a stiff smile appeared on her pretty face covered in blood.
"You know I'm soft on you, but you still want me to kill you?"
"You've been possessed, so I'll sleep with Liang Qing. You figure it out yourself!"
Listening to the harsh noise beside him, Zhao Qing opened his mouth but said nothing else.
The blood-robed disciple Liang Qing is already dead.
Qing Rao also stepped forward to stop many golden elixirs and primordial infants.
But there's one last fight to deal with...
He was a sword master of the Nine Swords Holy Land a hundred years ago, whose status and cultivation were no less than Meng Xue of the Blood God Peak.
His Nascent Soul was not inside his physical body, nor was it injured or killed by the Infant-Splitting Curse.
Where did it go then?!
In the auction hall, hundreds of cultivators had pale faces and sat quietly, not daring to move at all.
It wasn't that they had discussed anything secretly, but anyone who left the Blood Robe Building without permission had been completely wiped out... not even a single hair was left.
At this moment, the three Jindan cultivators who had bid for the Infant-Splitting Curse slowly stood up and stepped onto the wooden steps.
Their originally natural movements and expressions now became extremely dull.
Just like a walking corpse that has lost its mind... it was forced to the third floor's inheritance quiet room.
Perhaps, they are just the walking dead.
Buzz!
A clear clanging sound was heard, causing the three Jindan to stop their actions, and their lifeless eyes looked towards the end of the corridor.
Bai Wanqiu's slender fingers gently plucked the silk strings, while Zhou Xiaoyi held a green whip in her hand, her cold eyes full of indifference.
"Humph!"
A faint humming sound came from nowhere, and light emanated from the brows of a Jindan cultivator, and an illusory figure slowly emerged.
The man stood with his hands behind his back, obviously Liang Qing's Nascent Soul.
But his Nascent Soul is very different from ordinary Nascent Souls.
Unlike the clever infant Daoguo, he was instead a handsome and extraordinary man with a free and unrestrained spiritual charm and a restrained divine brilliance... He had already touched the threshold of becoming a god back then!
The illusory figure swept his sword eyes lightly, leaving the three golden elixir puppets to deal with Bai Wanqiu, and disappeared from the spot in a step.
The pavilion stood quietly in the wind and snow, and the ice crystals hanging from the eaves were like sharp blades, cutting through the cold wind and making a whimpering sound.
Under the dragon engraving of the blood-stained robe, a figure in white appeared out of thin air.
Liang Qing glanced at the solemn expressions of Zhao Qing and Hong Ning with a smile on his face, and chuckled softly, "Junior Brother Zhao, it's our first meeting. Please give me your guidance."
For a moment, Zhao Qing was shocked.
He actually sensed an aura similar to Si He's Soul from the Nascent Soul in front of him. Although it was still far inferior... it was far beyond what he could handle.
His eyelids trembled slightly, and his mind and body tensed.
He subconsciously pulled Hong Ning behind him.
However, Hong Ning didn't seem to care about the person in front of her, and said sarcastically, "I'm confused."
"How could a Sword Master of the Nine Swords Sacred Land end up in such a situation?"
"Like a stinkbug in a sewer, I dare not return to the Zhongzhou Holy Land. Not only am I hiding in this icy and snowy place, I've even hidden my Nascent Soul..."
"Cowardly dog?"
Zhao Qing: ???
Even though he was staring at the illusory figure, he was now a little confused.
Why is Hong Ning going all out at this time?
Is she so venomous?!
Boom!
The overwhelming pressure of divine consciousness pressed down, causing the dragon engraving of Blood Robe's inheritance to begin to break. Hong Ning's delicate body flew backwards in an instant as if hit by a mountain... Her forehead slammed heavily against the wall.
The sound of bones cracking echoed in the quiet room, and Zhao Qing, who was holding her wrist tightly, was naturally also knocked unconscious.
With this Nascent Soul separated from the body, the cultivation of the two still seemed a little weak.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, a bright red palm print suddenly appeared on the woman's charming face, making Zhao Qing's eyes red in an instant.
But he slowly lowered his surging blood and reserved it for dealing with Liang Qing's possession of his body.
Liang Qing won't kill me, so I still have a chance to kill him.
Acting impulsively now would only bring Hong Ning to his own grave... Until now, Zhao Qing had full confidence in Hong Ning, knowing that she would not anger Liang Qing for no reason.
They had never communicated at all about the current situation.
But both of them were trying their best to cooperate with each other, showing weakness to the enemy, and tricking Liang Qing into taking over Zhao Qing's body.
As long as his Nascent Soul dared to enter Zhao Qing's body, Hong Ning would dare to directly press the Infant-Splitting Curse on Zhao Qing's forehead...
Zhao Qing has the Tai'a Seal to protect his soul.
That night, my aunt had made it clear that he could die here.
But these things... Liang Qing obviously knew nothing about them.
Zhao Qing and Hong Ning had been seducing each other tacitly, but now Hong Ning suddenly started talking nonsense... which was completely beyond Zhao Qing's expectations.
Blood was oozing from the corners of the woman's lips, and there were blood stains on her cheeks. Her messy hair was stuck to her lips, making her look extremely miserable and sad.
She showed disdain and continued to mock him, "You've been practicing for so many years and you don't even have a body?"
Liang Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered to himself with his hands behind his back: "Provoke me?"
His smile turned gloomy, and he turned to look into Zhao Qing's eyes: "I don't want your woman anymore."
"I used my spiritual consciousness to penetrate her Niwan, and turned her into a puppet and threw her on the street..."
Liang Qing was stunned for a moment, looked at Hong Ning in surprise, and said fiercely, "Are you the Chu from the Broken Star Holy Land?!"
See this situation.
Zhao Qing, who was originally furious, was also stunned and confused, not knowing what Liang Qing was doing.
Before Zhao Qing could react, Liang Qing shattered Hong Ning's small hand and the Infant-Splitting Curse with a single finger, then transformed into a stream of light and rushed into Zhao Qing's brow...
·
The illusory figure disappeared, and the man's body fell to the ground without any sign of life.
It was obvious that when he opened his eyes again... he had most likely lost his consciousness and memory.
Hong Ning's hand bones were broken, and the pain made cold sweat seep out of the corners of her forehead, and even tears came out of the corners of her eyes.
She was really afraid of pain, not to mention that her fingers were connected to her heart.
The woman's resentful eyes swept over Zhao Qing. She casually dropped the broken Infant-Splitting Curse to the ground and took out a jade statue from her storage ring... She forced herself to stand up, enduring the excruciating pain of her broken bones. She placed the jade statue in front of Zhao Qing and bowed down in worship...
I don’t know if it’s useful, but at least Xiaoyi once reminded me of this, saying that this was also the protection given to her by the Empress.
The messy hair swayed lightly, and a colorful little butterfly circled and landed on Zhao Qing's brow. This was the poisonous butterfly that Qingrao had sent in when she chopped off Liang Qing's head.
The woman's cold voice rang out: "If you anger him, your death will be in vain."
Hong Ning whispered, "There's nothing we can do..."
"Can't you come in?"
Qingrao was silent for a moment.
A voice was heard: "This formation diagram does not belong to Liang Qing, it belongs to Huangfu Lai."
Huangfu Ming! ?
Hong Ning's eyes were lifeless as she looked down at her own hands... and under the vitality released by the poisonous butterfly, her hands healed rapidly.
She silently embraced Zhao Qing in her arms without saying anything else.
Qingrao added, "Shuiyue is here too."
"He left you alone."
Hong Ning sneered: "I'm running here to find a man, he will definitely think I'm disgusting."
"Then why do you still want to rely on his influence?"
Hong Ning: ???
She looked up in surprise: "My Taoist partner is about to be possessed!"
"Who cares about so many things?"
"Suiyue erased my traces himself. I didn't ask him to erase them."
Hong Ning took a deep breath, glanced at the broken talismans on the ground, and directly grabbed Liang Qing's storage ring to start searching... and added the two talismans she had prepared in advance.
There were four infant-splitting spells and seven soul-slaying talismans, all activated and held in his hands, ready to kill Zhao Qing at any time.
This is completely because they don't want Zhao Qing to live, and Liang Qing's Nascent Soul will be destroyed along with him.
Hong Ning acted quickly without any hesitation.
“No one cares about us, we have to figure it out on our own.”
She held the talisman in one hand and embraced the man with the other. She gritted her teeth and poured all her consciousness into the man's Niwan...
·
Liangchuan City.
Night covers the sky.
The cold wind blew the agitated snowflakes swaying in the air, and the seventeen stars in the night sky shone brightly.
Four of them were flashing with strange light, and seemed to be closer to the sky.
Outside the Blood Robe Building, a young man with a resolute face sat cross-legged, blocking Qing Rao in front of him.
The eighth of the Nine Swordsmen, Huangfu Ming!
Hong Ning asked Qing Rao for help, but she never thought about whether the sword master from a hundred years ago was also willing to lend a hand.
Moreover, in Huangfu Ming's eyes, after Liang Qing took over Zhao Qing's body, he really had the opportunity to become the new Blood-Cloaked Walker.
Beneath the brilliant Milky Way in the distant sky, a ship was floating up and down.
Ji Meng's long hair fluttered as she looked at the Blood-stained Building with great interest.
He had obviously come to see the show.
The twelve people in Yujing are of the same blood and have a very close relationship. Now that someone is confronting each other, there will naturally be a crowd of onlookers.
What's more, this may be related to the birth of the Blood-Clothed Walker in the future. After all, the Azure Dragon entering the life and becoming a walker... has the precedent of Zhang Jinyi.
However, the melon that Ji Meng was eating this time had nothing to do with Qing Rao, Zhao Qing, or Huangfu Ming.
Beside him, there was an illusory figure standing quietly, with magical powers similar to those of Qin Chuxin, using his powerful spiritual consciousness and the authority to walk, projecting himself here from afar.
Away from the smoke, water and moon.
Among all the people in Yujing, no one could match him even for eight thousand years.
He had thirty-nine wives and concubines!
A few years ago, when Hong Ning and Qing Rao were traveling together, they met him in the Broken Star Holy Land. He had invited Hong Ning to be his concubine, but was obviously rejected.
He didn't care too much at the time. After all, she was just a concubine, and there were many beautiful women.
But what he never expected was that today Chu Hongning used the divine consciousness jade scroll he had given her to ask for help...
Just ask for help.
She actually begged me to help her save another man! ?
Shuiyue's face was indifferent, and she said softly to Ji Meng: "I have learned two words from my senior brother these days."
Ji Meng's eyes lit up, waiting for Shuiyue to continue speaking.
"Stupid."
Ji Meng: ???
He thought for a long time and asked softly, "Are you saying Chu Hongning is stupid?"
"Do not."
"I think she takes me for a fool."
Ji Meng pondered for a moment and said to himself: "Then why are you here?"
Shuiyue: "I'm thinking about whether I should help Huangfu."
