432: Chapter 432 Liu Qing's Shock!!

He had lived for many years and had seen many powerful experts and experienced many battles.

But this was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre and terrifying technique!

One move, just one move!

A Fifth-Rank Mid-stage Sea Race powerhouse had just died like that?

Dying so cleanly and thoroughly, with even his corpse being sucked dry?

Liu Qing only felt a chill rush from his spine to the top of his head, and every hair on his body stood on end.

"Retrieve."

Just then, a low voice rang out.

Liu Qing followed the sound and saw a figure clad in a black robe slowly walking out from behind a rock not far away.

In front of him, a bizarre, blood-colored small cauldron was floating.

The body of that small cauldron was carved with ancient patterns of myriad spirits sacrificing and the sea of blood churning.

Blood mist swirled around the mouth of the cauldron.

And the blood gushing out from the Crab General's body was being continuously sucked into the small cauldron.

Liu Qing's eyes widened, wanting to see the appearance of that small cauldron clearly.

But before he could see it clearly, the Black-Robed Person waved his hand and put the small cauldron away.

"What level of spirit weapon is that? hundred-inscription? Or thousand-patterned?"

Liu Qing stared fixedly in the direction where the Black-Robed Person had put away the cauldron, his eyes full of shock and suspicion.

The aura emitted by that blood-colored small cauldron just now was definitely not something an ordinary spirit weapon could compare to!

Those ancient and profound patterns, that soul-stirring blood light, that faint pressure...

It was at least at the hundred-inscription level, or perhaps even the legendary thousand-patterned spirit weapon!

If Qin Yan knew what Liu Qing was thinking right now, he would have laughed at least a little.

hundred-inscription? thousand-patterned?

His vision was too narrow.

That was a supreme grade spirit weapon!

A genuine supreme grade spirit weapon that would be enough to make countless great powers in the Myriad Realms green with envy!

The blood condensation life creation cauldron!

Although the artifact spirit inside the cauldron had long since perished, making it impossible to exert its true supreme power.

But it was still a supreme grade foundation after all; its material, its potential, and its residual power were not something an ordinary thousand-patterned spirit weapon could compare to.

And that terrifying blood-colored lightning that had just insta-killed the Fifth-Rank Mid-stage Crab General was exactly one of the three major killing methods triggered by Qin Yan's initial activation of the blood condensation life creation cauldron—

Blood Dao Lightning!

The blood condensation life creation cauldron had a total of three core killing methods:

First, the Blood Condensation Chains—using blood as chains, they can bind, restrain, and seal.

Once entangled by the chains, the enemy's blood qi will be continuously extracted until they turn into a dried corpse.

Second, the Life Creation Blood Flame—using blood as flame, it burns everything.

This flame does not burn mundane things but specifically burns the blood qi of living beings.

Once it touches you, it's like a maggot on a bone, never stopping until every drop of the enemy's blood is burned away.

Third, the Blood Dao Lightning—using blood as thunder, it specifically breaks through evil spirits.

This is the strongest killing method of the blood condensation life creation cauldron, condensing the essence of blood qi.

It turns into the most yang and firm blood-colored lightning, specifically countering all dark evils, ghosts, and demonic monsters.

Although that Crab General was not an evil spirit, the destructive power contained in the blood lightning was enough to kill him in one blow!

Feeling the surge of torrential blood qi flowing into the small cauldron, Qin Yan's heart showed a look of satisfaction.

A Fifth-Rank Mid-stage Sea Race powerhouse truly lived up to his reputation.

The amount of this blood qi was almost equal to the sum of all the Sea Race blood qi he had killed before!

This trip to Maple Leaf Island had reached Perfection.

As long as he found a quiet place tonight to refine all this blood qi, his body tempering realm would definitely see a significant increase!

"Thank you for your help, Senior."

Just then, Liu Qing finally snapped out of his shock and hurriedly stepped forward a few paces, respectfully clasping his hands in greeting.

He kept his posture very low, his tone full of gratitude and awe.

He could clearly sense that the realm of the Black-Robed Person in front of him was only at the Fourth Rank Peak and had not yet stepped into the Fifth Rank.

But in the world of martial artists, status was never determined simply by realm, but by strength.

Since the other party could easily insta-kill a Fifth-Rank Mid-stage Crab General, then killing him would naturally be effortless, probably not even requiring a second move.

So he called him "Senior" with complete conviction.

Qin Yan glanced at him, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

Liu Qing stood there, unable to leave or stay, feeling a bit awkward for a moment.

Just then, messy footsteps and voices came from the outer perimeter.

Those human soldiers who had been resting on the outskirts of the island had finally arrived.

The late-stage Fourth Rank Martial Artist leading the team stepped forward quickly, came before Liu Qing, and respectfully clasped his hands: "Lord Liu Qing."

While saluting, he secretly sized up the surrounding environment, his eyes full of confusion.

Where was that Fifth-Rank Mid-stage Crab General?

There was such a huge commotion just now, with heaven and earth shaking, so why was there not a single trace left now?

Could he have been killed by Lord Liu Qing?

Countless questions swirled in his mind, but when it came to the affairs of a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist, how could a Fourth Rank Martial Artist like him intervene?

He chose to remain silent, swallowing all his confusion back into his stomach.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Qin Yan spoke indifferently: "Everyone, set up camp and arrange the defensive lines.

We will stay on the island tonight and pick the spiritual herbs tomorrow."

Liu Qing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, he gradually realized—

It turned out that the mysterious and powerful black-robed expert in front of him was also a warrior of their human race, a support force sent by Sea-Suppressing City!

He wasn't some hidden master, nor was he an expert from another faction.

Thinking of this, the last bit of tension and anxiety in Liu Qing's heart dissipated by more than half.

Since he was one of their own, it was much easier to handle.

He respectfully clasped his hands again, his tone becoming a bit more natural than before:

"Yes, Lord!"

The late-stage Fourth Rank Martial Artist who had arrived was shocked to see that Liu Qing, a dignified Fifth-Rank Martial Artist, was actually so respectful to the Black-Robed Person, even calling him "Lord"!

This Black-Robed Person... what exactly was his identity?

To what level had his strength actually reached?

To be able to make a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist so fearful and respectful!

But he didn't have time to think much, as Liu Qing had already turned around and begun to issue orders one by one: "You few, go over there to pitch the tents and set up the camp.

You few, go patrol the surroundings and set up a warning line.

You few, go check the remaining arrays on the island; repair what can be repaired, and mark what cannot..."

Seeing that the situation was settled, Qin Yan no longer stayed and turned to walk deeper into Maple Leaf Island.

He needed to find a place quiet and safe enough to complete his next breakthrough.

...

Qin Yan searched for a long time deep within the island and finally found an extremely hidden location.

It was a naturally formed rock crevice with a narrow entrance but a fairly spacious interior, enough to accommodate him.
