872 The Wild Geese Fly for a Long Time, but the Light Does Not Fade (1)
The flames of the Heavenly Fire Sea illuminated the sky, casting a distant red glow that, while not as dark as blood, still gave an ominous feeling.
As for the sky beyond the sea of fire, the farther you went, the dimmer the flames became, until they were completely swallowed by the darkness. The world turned into a gloomy expanse, and the bloodstains dripping down the iron cages on the ground shared the same color with it.
A trail of bloodstains were left behind by the convoy.
The clansmen of the two races who saw this scene revealed greed. They licked their lips and looked at the carriages from afar.
To them, the human sacrifices imprisoned in the metal cages were very delicious food, and could also be given to the temple as live food at critical moments in exchange for the peace of their two races.
Such things had happened too many times since ancient times.
It wasn’t just the human race. In this Moon Worship Region, all the inferior races had the same fate. They would either become food for the other races or sacrifices.
The law of the jungle was particularly clear on this land.
However, many times, even the strong were seen as prey by the even stronger. No race could claim to be the ultimate authority.
It was the same even for the temple.
This might be the melody played by fate.
For example, at this moment, the wind was whimpering, bringing with it heat waves that blew through the sky and the ground, stirring up layers of invisible fluctuations in the sky and stirring up heavenly fire like sand.
While spreading in all directions, within it, there was also a gradually intensifying sense of killing intent, transforming into the messenger of death, carrying a bloodthirsty sickle, erupting, speeding, and approaching!
The source of this killing intent was Xu Qing!
Xu Qing was silent the entire way, but his gaze contained endless killing intent. The heat in the sky couldn’t melt the coldness emitting from him and the warmth of the ground couldn’t drown his killing intent.
Under Ling’er’s guidance, he rushed toward the south with his full speed. The power of the life lanterns spread throughout his body and the enhancement was all focused on speed.
This speed had to surpa.s.s the convoy. Moreover, the blood on the ground also allowed Xu Qing to understand that he was moving in the correct direction.
“This is the way!”
Xu Qing mumbled inwardly and sped up.
By this time, he no longer needed Ling’er’s guidance. Following the trail of blood on the ground, Xu Qing stirred up a howling storm that swept in all directions. The target was getting closer and closer.
5,000 kilometers, 3,000 kilometers, 1,000 kilometers, 500 kilometers…
In these four days, he traveled more than 5,000 kilometers in this pursuit. At dusk on the fourth day, the monstrous boom formed by the storm spread to the convoy.
There were over a hundred cultivators from the two races in charge of escorting. The sound of the storm immediately attracted their attention.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the distant sky.
“What’s going on!”
The large beasts were all frightened and became restless. The cultivators from the two races became vigilant. While they had bewildered expressions, Xu Qing’s figure appeared in the sky.
He had finally caught up!
However, the instant he saw the convoy, Xu Qing felt an intense pain in his heart.
He saw the convoy and the ten huge cages.
He also saw the countless humans in the cages who were forcefully squeezed together like livestock.
Their numbness, their pain, and the aura of rotting and death that permeated the air caused Xu Qing’s eyes to redden. The cold killing intent on his body erupted uncontrollably.
His figure transformed into a rainbow that was surrounded by endless lightning as he headed straight for the convoy. His speed was so fast that he instantly descended.
Amidst an earth-shattering boom, Xu Qing directly smashed into the convoy!
The earth shook, lifting countless clumps of soil, and lightning spread in all directions.
When the convoy stopped, those huge beasts sensed the icy killing intent and all of them trembled. As for the cultivators from the two races, their expressions changed and they instantly went forward.
“Who’s it!”
“How dare you block us!”
“It’s a human?”
Just as these two races’ cultivators rushed out in shock and anger, Xu Qing, who had landed on the ground, lifted his head. The killing intent in his eyes was astonishing. He rushed out and headed straight for a Heavenly Mask Race cultivator in front of him.
The expression of the Heavenly Mask Race cultivator changed. He sensed the terrifying fluctuations coming from Xu Qing’s body and wanted to dodge but it was too late. Xu Qing’s speed was too fast and he directly collided with this cultivator with his body.
With a boom, Xu Qing directly smashed through the body of the tall Heavenly Mask Race cultivator.
Xu Qing didn’t hold back. With a wave of his hand, the morning glow spread out and transformed into ten beams of light that enveloped all the cages. The power of the Poison Restriction in his body completely erupted.
The surroundings instantly distorted. As endless anomalous substances grew, mournful wails rang out.
The Diamond Sect’s ancestor went crazy and transformed into red lightning that attacked everyone.
Ling’er also gritted her teeth. A rarely seen ferocity appeared in her eyes as she attacked.
There was also the shadow. It sensed Xu Qing’s anger and Ling’er’s sadness. This made it angry as well. It quickly spread out and protected Ling’er’s while attacking.
However, they weren’t as ruthless as Xu Qing’s. Xu Qing was extremely fast. He lifted his right hand and a dagger appeared as he arrived before a Mirror Image Race cultivator. He clenched his left hand into a fist and punched.
With a boom, he shattered the other party’s mirror body. Under the shattering, the Poison Restriction spread out. Immediately, mournful cries rang out.
Xu Qing turned and swayed, colliding with a Heavenly Mask Race member who was rushing over from behind. He slashed from the bottom to top with the dagger before slitting the neck.
