608: Kill Zhao Xu with one thought and plot against Qingwei Taoist

“So that’s how it is!”

Zhao Xu clearly also thought of it and figured Ru Yu Divine Maiden must have known she was being targeted, which is why she simply transformed into a male and hid her true appearance.

“Interesting, truly interesting…” Zhao Xu’s lips curved upwards; Ru Yu Divine Maiden had successfully piqued his interest.

“Ru Yu Divine Maiden, I am infatuated with you…”

“Boom!”

Before Tian Yin could finish speaking, Gu Qing glanced at him, a murderous intent instantly rising. With a single thought, he completely annihilated Tian Yin, body and soul.

Tian Yin, a God Emperor at the peak of the sixth realm, was as fragile as a bubble.

The seventh-realm divine sense remaining within Tian Yin was also eradicated by Gu Qing.

Gu Qing quietly experienced his own realm, a wondrous sensation welling up in his heart.

Facing beings below the seventh realm, he felt like a deity transcending all, like a god looking down upon mortals.

For a deity to slay a mortal, a single thought was enough.

“Hiss!”

Blood mist scattered, drenching Jian Yang and Feng Sheng. Their excited expressions instantly froze on their faces, their pupils gradually widening, filled with terror.

“Ru… Ru Yu Divine Maiden, how dare you kill him?” Feng Sheng’s face was bloodless, scared out of his wits.

If Ru Yu Divine Maiden dared to kill Tian Yin, would she also dare to kill him?

“Ru Yu Divine Maiden, we are successors of the Twelve-Star Immortal Dao Lineage, you…”

Jian Yang, who possessed an invincible Sword Heart, was also terrified out of his wits at this moment.

The Dao Companion he had yearned for tens of millions of years was too ferocious; she dared to kill Tian Yin without a word.

“Boom!”

Before Jian Yang could finish speaking, his body exploded, blood mist scattering into the void. All his divinity was annihilated; he was as dead as could be.

Feng Sheng was next.

“Is this what it means to transcend into sainthood…” Gu Qing secretly marveled.

It was too terrifying.

It perfectly demonstrated what it meant for everyone below a Saint to be an ant, without any exaggeration, absolute control over life and death.

“Hiss!”

Zhao Xu couldn’t smile anymore. His mind trembled, and his scalp tingled as he looked at Gu Qing.

Facing the successors of a Twelve-Star force, to kill them just like that, this was too ferocious.

Furthermore, he was fearless and lawless.

Did Gu Qing not fear Heavenly Dao Realm experts at all?

“Ru Yu Divine Maiden, I am different from those three. I came specifically to save you,” Zhao Xu said urgently.

He was afraid that if he spoke half a moment later, Gu Qing would kill him too.

“Sky Dao’s Chosen.”

Gu Qing felt that Zhao Xu was not simple. He would often smirk, and upon inspecting him with his Dao Pupil, sure enough, Zhao Xu was a fated protagonist.

This was quite a coincidence.

Coming out of seclusion, he encountered a protagonist.

And this protagonist was one who possessed an innate treasure.

How could Gu Qing not guess that the divine maiden he had refined was most likely the female lead, causing the protagonist to come sniffing around to offer warmth?

“What Sky Dao’s Chosen? I am not.”

Zhao Xu saw that Gu Qing had no intention of killing him and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, replying neither obsequiously nor arrogantly: “Ru Yu Divine Maiden overpraises me. I, Zhao Xu, have never been any Sky Dao’s Chosen. My achievements today are all thanks to my talent and hard work.”

Only those born with great fortune and smooth sailing are called Sky Dao’s Chosen.

But Zhao Xu never felt he had great fortune; in fact, his life was extremely unlucky.

If not for his unyielding will, perhaps he wouldn’t even have the qualifications to cultivate and would have long turned into a handful of dust.

“Heh!” Gu Qing scoffed.

Gu Qing wasn’t surprised by Zhao Xu’s reaction at all.

Many protagonists with heaven-defying luck don’t consider themselves lucky; instead, they feel they are incredibly unlucky.

They attribute everything to their talent and hard work.

But none of that mattered.

Gu Qing activated his Dao Pupil, scanned Zhao Xu’s useful memories, and then, with a thought, erased him.

“Boom!”

Zhao Xu’s body instantly exploded. A divine pagoda erupted with brilliant divine light, as if melting away space and time.

The divine pagoda trembled madly, trying to escape, but it was bound by a force and suppressed in place.

“Madman, you madman…”

Inside the divine pagoda, Zhao Xu’s terrified screams echoed, his voice breaking down.

At this moment, Gu Qing looked like a murderous maniac in his eyes. One second he was kind to him, the next he directly killed him.

There was no warning whatsoever.

Zhao Xu couldn’t understand. He had no enmity with Gu Qing; he even came to save Gu Qing. It was one thing for Gu Qing not to be tearfully grateful, but she actually killed him.

Could it be that the old man calculated wrong, and Ru Yu Divine Maiden wasn’t a divine maiden at all, but a demoness?

Even if she was a demoness, she shouldn’t have killed him.

Zhao Xu couldn’t accept it.

Zhao Xu always felt he was special, with unparalleled talent and wisdom close to a demon.

When he met seniors, they either wanted to forge good relations with him or had designs on him, only to be outsmarted by him.

He was the protagonist of heaven and earth, encountering any danger and ultimately turning misfortune into blessing.

Unlike Gu Qing, who directly took action.

This was the first time he had been brutally killed by someone, completely powerless to resist, unable even to escape.

Buzz!

Gu Qing reached out and grabbed the divine pagoda, his gaze piercing through it, invading within, and annihilating Zhao Xu’s divine soul.

“Who exactly are you?”

The moment Zhao Xu fell, a phantom figure emerged from the jade pendant on Zhao Xu’s body, instantly solidifying into a disheveled, slovenly old man.

Old Taoist Qingwei looked at the scattered blood mist, Zhao Xu’s remains, and then at the divine pagoda in Gu Qing’s hand. For a moment, he didn’t understand the situation and was utterly bewildered.

After all, he was a peak ninth-realm powerhouse, an existence halfway into the tenth-realm domain.

Although this wisp of his “Dao thought” had been in a dormant state, if Zhao Xu encountered a fatal crisis, or if a great power above the sixth realm acted against Zhao Xu, he would be able to sense it immediately.

Yet at this moment, Zhao Xu was dead?!

And his soul was completely annihilated!

How did Gu Qing manage to block his perception?

Could her realm surpass his?

A divine light flashed in Old Taoist Qingwei’s eyes. He saw through Gu Qing’s origins and became even more bewildered.

A monstrous killing intent spread in his heart.

The person before him was indeed Ru Yu Divine Maiden.

But according to his calculations, Ru Yu Divine Maiden was only in the third realm and was female, extremely important to Zhao Xu.

She would repeatedly help Zhao Xu avert disasters and bestow upon him many great opportunities.

Moreover, the two were fated to be together.

But now, Ru Yu Divine Maiden had become male, was in the seventh realm, and had even annihilated Zhao Xu.

At this thought, how could Old Taoist Qingwei not realize that he had been deceived?

They had calculated Ru Yu Divine Maiden, and Ru Yu Divine Maiden had also calculated her own fate.

“Wretch, my disciple and I kindly saved you, yet you repay kindness with enmity, utterly heartless.” Old Taoist Qingwei understood the whole story, and his killing intent surged.

Zhao Xu was raised by him personally, a disciple, and like a grandson.

He had calculated the heavenly secrets, laid out plans for eons, and paved Zhao Xu’s entire path.

A great fortune had turned into Zhao Xu’s tribulation, causing Zhao Xu to utterly perish, without him even having a chance to save him.

How could Old Taoist Qingwei not be enraged?

“Haha.”

“Old man, you and your disciple are equally hypocritical. You clearly wanted to scheme against me, yet you still put on the air of a savior, condescendingly bestowing charity. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together, and two people sleeping in the same bed won’t produce two different kinds of people.”

Gu Qing laughed heartily, his eyes filled with mockery.

With a thought, he withdrew the magic from Jian Yang and Feng Sheng’s jade pendants.

Two figures instantly appeared from the jade pendants.

However, both were in the seventh realm.

He could erase a seventh-realm Dao thought with a single thought.

The reason he kept the two was specifically to cause trouble for Old Taoist Qingwei.

Although these two sects would not let him off after knowing their Dao Sons were killed, Old Taoist Qingwei, who tried to intercept, wouldn’t have an easy time either.

Moreover, Zhao Xu had an innate treasure.

This was a supreme treasure that even Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses would contend for.

Since Zhao Xu, as a disciple, had one, how could Old Taoist Qingwei, as his master, not have one?

Even if he didn't, it didn't matter.

For the strong, a single suspicion was enough.

They would rather kill wrongly than let go.

“You… you are so malicious.” Old Taoist Qingwei saw the two and instantly realized he had been schemed against.

This made him both shocked and angry.

He had always been the one hiding behind the scenes, scheming against others.

Greatly hidden in the city, with a mindset of seeing through worldly affairs, playing in the human world as he pleased.

Like a true god in the human world, calculating all heavenly secrets, using heaven and earth as a chessboard, all living beings as chess pieces, manipulating the general trend of the world.

Yet now, he was actually schemed against by a newly emerged deity.

“If you can’t lose, don’t play.”

Seeing Old Taoist Qingwei’s broken expression, Gu Qing chuckled, his gaze turning to the two, and said: “He definitely has an innate treasure. The matter of killing your sect’s Dao Sons, let’s call it even, how about it?”

The two were stunned, seemingly not expecting Gu Qing to react this way.

Killing their Dao Sons and still wanting to get away unscathed.

Was this not looking down on them too much?

“Good!”

Their expressions were grim. After a moment of thought, they nodded in agreement.

After all, Gu Qing was in the seventh realm upon emergence, indicating terrifyingly powerful origins, possessing the potential of a Master God.

Now having obtained an innate treasure, it showed the prosperity of Gu Qing’s luck.

Gu Qing joining a Master God Dao Lineage was almost a certainty.

They had no need to offend the promising Gu Qing for two dead people.

Of course, the main reason was that their true gods were not here.

If they were here and confident in slaying Gu Qing, then the outcome would be different.

As for Old Taoist Qingwei.

They wouldn’t let Old Taoist Qingwei off even without Gu Qing saying anything.

“Gulp!”

This works???

The onlookers unconsciously swallowed their saliva.

They had witnessed Gu Qing’s ruthlessness.

They initially thought Gu Qing was an extremely vicious demoness who, after killing Tian Yin and the others, would surely not let them off either.

And Celestial Venerable Dynasty, Heavenly Wind Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect would certainly be enraged, dispatching Heavenly Dao Realm experts to hunt down Gu Qing.

Gu Qing would inevitably face a catastrophe, with death and Dao dissipation being only a matter of time.

However, they never expected that Gu Qing would resolve the death tribulation with just a few words.

Killing the successors of three super Dao Lineages, yet nothing happened at all.

It seemed she could even freeload an innate treasure, as well as the Innate Spirit Treasures on those four people.

The more everyone thought about it, the more sour they felt. While envious and jealous, they were also filled with awe towards Gu Qing.

After all, this was not something ordinary people could pull off.

They didn’t even dare to imagine it.

“…”

Old Taoist Qingwei fell silent, his old face twitching.

He suddenly felt that his earth-shattering calculations were as naive as a child’s in front of Gu Qing.

However, Old Taoist Qingwei couldn’t understand why Gu Qing would openly provoke him, treating him like a clay figure?

“Good, good, good!” Old Taoist Qingwei laughed in extreme anger, his eyes filled with cold killing intent: “What a good scheme.”

“But do you take this old Taoist for a clay figure?”

Although he was merely a Dao thought, his realm was there, possessing strength that could absolutely crush the seventh realm.

While he knew these three super Dao Lineages wouldn’t let him off, Gu Qing shouldn’t expect to remain uninvolved.

At this thought, Old Taoist Qingwei’s aura boomed, his expression indifferent, his domain suppressing the endless universe, like a Heaven and Earth Saint transcending all.

The two from Heavenly Wind Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect, seeing this situation, immediately showed joy.

They had already called for reinforcements.

Reporting the situation here to their main bodies.

If Old Taoist Qingwei could delay Gu Qing for a while… “So strong…” Gu Qing was suppressed by Old Taoist Qingwei’s domain and immediately felt difficulty breathing, as if suppressed by a divine mountain, his spine bending.

He was not Old Taoist Qingwei’s opponent right now.

But everything was within his expectations.

“I don’t know if you’re made of clay, but I’m certainly not.”

Gu Qing sneered, put away the treasures of the few people, and his figure faded, silently disappearing into the world, as if he had never appeared, leaving no trace.

The Formless Escape Technique, formless and traceless, ignored spatial confinement and any barriers. Even if a Master God came, they wouldn’t be able to detect his aura.

“Hmm?”

“What kind of escape technique is this?”

Old Taoist Qingwei’s face changed drastically. His divine sense spread out, searching for Gu Qing’s whereabouts.

The result was nothing.

Bizarre.

Too bizarre.

Old Taoist Qingwei had traveled the Origin Continent for countless years and was widely knowledgeable.

He had seen countless top-tier escape techniques.

He had even seen escape techniques created by Chaos Dominator God-level great powers, and even obtained some.

But an escape technique like Gu Qing’s, formless and traceless, capable of directly ignoring an enemy’s domain, he had never heard of.

“What a heaven-defying escape technique, simply inconceivable.”

“This woman has heaven-defying origins; she is definitely not an ordinary person, possessing the potential of a Master God.”

The two marveled endlessly, feeling a wave of relief.

They finally understood why Gu Qing was so fearless.

With such a heaven-defying escape technique, even if she encountered a Heavenly Dao Realm expert, they probably wouldn’t be able to catch Gu Qing.

It was a good thing they chose to resolve the conflict, otherwise, there would have been endless troubles.

“Boom!”

Heaven and earth shook, as if the sky was falling.

A peak ninth-realm great power arrived, stepping through the long river of time, his divine might vast and boundless, exuding supreme imperial majesty.

“The Supreme Emperor of Celestial Venerable Dynasty…”

“As cunning as a ghost, this old Taoist is not his match.” Old Taoist Qingwei’s mouth twitched.

Gu Qing’s schemes were truly interconnected.

Even without the Formless Escape Technique, he probably wouldn’t have been able to do anything to Gu Qing.

As long as Gu Qing chose to surrender and offer the innate treasure, these three super Dao Lineages would definitely compete for Gu Qing.

“Fellow Daoist, this woman is extremely insidious and cunning, and her nature is ferocious. She killed my disciple and schemed against both my disciple and me.”

Old Taoist Qingwei spoke urgently. He couldn’t afford to offend these three super Dao Lineages.

If he was targeted, he wouldn’t be able to walk around freely anymore.

“Taoist Qingwei?”

The Supreme Emperor of Celestial Venerable Dynasty looked at him in surprise and shook his head in disappointment.

“It is rumored that Taoist Qingwei plays in the human world, calculates all heavenly secrets, and possesses extraordinary strength. Seeing him now, it seems rumors are indeed unreliable.”

Old Taoist Qingwei was openly humiliated and immediately felt a surge of embarrassment.

He spoke the truth, yet was so humiliated; it was simply too much.

If he hadn’t known that this was Gu Qing’s scheme, mainly to have him restrained by these three super Dao Lineages and prevent him from seeking revenge, he… well, he wouldn’t dare to turn hostile either.
