150: Chapter 150 Zhang Qing's Power

Murong Yun watched the figure walking slowly out of the dark alley, and his brows furrowed instantly.

He didn't know Zhang Qing.

But judging by Zhao Er's posture beside him—on high alert with muscles tensed as if facing a great enemy—Murong Yun knew this person was no pushover.

"Halt!"

Murong Yun drew the longsword from his waist, pointing the tip directly at Zhang Qing, and roared, "Take one more step, and this young master will poke a few holes right through you!"

Zhang Qing acted as if he hadn't heard; there was no expression on his face, which was so ordinary it would disappear in a crowd.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow as he continued walking toward the dungeon.

"You're looking for death!"

Zhao Er, standing to the side, was a ruthless man; being chosen as a top-tier bodyguard meant he naturally possessed real skill.

Seeing the opponent ignore the warning, Zhao Er wasted no words. The True Essence in the twelve major apertures of his Xuanguan erupted instantly like boiling water!

*Boom!*

The stone slabs beneath Zhao Er's feet shattered inch by inch. Like a maddened rhino, he swung his war saber, which let out a piercing whistle as it tore through the air, cleaving straight for Zhang Qing's face!

However, facing the full-strength blow of a Xuanguan Peak expert...

Zhang Qing merely raised his right hand with extreme nonchalance and gave a light flick, as if shooing away a fly.

*Chi chi chi—!*

Without warning, over a dozen crimson Blood Threads that looked almost solid suddenly burst out from the soil beneath Zhao Er's feet!

These Blood Threads were like venomous snakes with eyes; their speed was appalling. In the blink of an eye, they frantically climbed up Zhao Er's legs.

In an instant, they bound him tightly, turning him into a red bundle!

Mid-air, Zhao Er was forcibly yanked down and slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Break for me!"

Zhao Er's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead. The True Essence of his Xuanguan Peak circulated frantically as he tried to force open those disgusting Blood Threads.

But it was useless. Those Blood Threads, which looked no thicker than yarn, were a hundred times tougher than refined steel.

No matter how Zhao Er struggled, the Blood Threads didn't loosen in the slightest!

They even tightened further, sinking deep into his flesh!

Seeing this, Murong Yun felt a chill rush from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, and his scalp tingled with numbness.

"Holy crap, where the hell did this monster come from?"

Suppressing a Xuanguan Peak expert with such nonchalance?

Does such a person even exist in the Profound Gate Realm?

This guy must be freaking cheating!

Murong Yun subconsciously took half a step back, his palm gripping the sword drenched in cold sweat.

But from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Feiyu behind him, still leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, refining the black mist.

Murong Yun swallowed hard.

Although Murong Yun was a dandy well-versed in all sorts of vices, he had a bottom line: he was a dandy who valued loyalty!

Brother Chen had entrusted Feiyu to him; if something really happened, how could he ever show his face in the capital's dandy circles again?

"Damn it, I'm going all in!"

Murong Yun gritted his teeth, a flash of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.

His left hand suddenly ripped off a Mutton-fat Jade Pendant hanging from his waist.

Without any hesitation, he hurled it straight at Zhang Qing's face!

Zhang Qing looked at the incoming jade pendant, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He slowly extended a finger and tapped the air.

*Bang!*

The jade pendant exploded directly into a cloud of powder in mid-air!

Yet, the moment the jade pendant shattered!

A pressure so terrifying it was suffocating descended upon this space like Mount Tai crushing down!

An Illusory Giant Axe, dozens of zhang in size and condensed entirely from pure True Essence, appeared out of thin air above Zhang Qing's head!

Carrying a tragic killing intent as if to split the heavens and earth, the giant axe—without any fancy flourishes—cleaved down toward Zhang Qing's head with agonizing slowness!

At this moment, time itself seemed to freeze.

On Zhang Qing's previously calm face, a look of surprise finally appeared for the first time!

"This is..."

Unable to dodge in time, he could only let out a furious roar as the True Essence within him surged out without reservation.

He turned his right hand into a palm and, carrying an extremely dense blood-red light, struck upward violently!

In mid-air, a visible, invisible airwave seemed to appear, colliding head-on with the descending Illusory Giant Axe!

*Rumble—!*

A world-shaking, terrifying explosion completely tore through the night sky of Shi Village!

It was as if a heavy bomb had been detonated!

A visible ring of energy waves, centered on the two of them, swept out violently in all directions!

Several nearby earthen houses were instantly leveled!

The terrifying shockwave swept all the way through, slamming directly into the inverted black Formation barrier that shrouded Shi Village.

*Buzz buzz buzz!*

The originally indestructible black barrier shook violently from the impact, as if it could collapse at any moment like a shattered glass bowl!

But in the next second...

Countless cracks seemed to split open in the sky, and dense scarlet Blood Threads surged out from the void.

Like stitching clothes, they restabilized the crumbling cracks in the Formation.

...

Meanwhile.

At the central altar of Shi Village.

Chen Shanzhi and the others, who were ganging up on the Serpent-man Evil Spirit, felt their eardrums ache from the sudden, earth-shattering roar.

Feeling that heart-palpitating energy fluctuation, everyone's expression changed drastically!

"Not good, something happened on Feiyu's side!"

Chen Shanzhi whipped his head around toward the dungeon, the corner of his eye twitching.

This energy fluctuation definitely exceeds the scope of the Profound Gate Realm!

But why hasn't the immortal stele shown any reaction?

"Retreat! Go back and save them!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Shanzhi abandoned the dying Serpent-man Evil Spirit before him and turned to run back.

Ouyang Wanqing, Shen Lingfu, and the others also immediately withdrew their moves and retreated.

Jiang Feiyu is currently defenseless, and there are those hundreds of refugees; if they are slaughtered, they'll all be in deep trouble!

"Thinking of leaving? All of you, leave your lives behind for this seat!"

However, the moment they turned...

The Serpent-man Evil Spirit, whose bones had already been broken, suddenly acted as if it had been injected with chicken blood and let out an extremely shrill screech!

Ignoring its injuries, it directly burned the last bit of Origin flesh and blood within its body!

Its speed surged, and like a mad dog, it lunged recklessly at Chen Shanzhi and the others!

Although the Serpent-man Evil Spirit wasn't very bright, it understood now!

That commotion over there definitely meant someone was touching the "Blood Food"!

As long as those refugee blood sacrifices were offered, it could continuously absorb massive amounts of vital energy through the altar beneath its feet, thereby restoring more of its strength!

When that time came, these Human Race Martial Artists who had beaten it like a dog would all become its meal!

"Get the hell away from me!"

Chen Shanzhi's eyes were red with anxiety as he turned and slammed a fierce Extreme Yang Fist Seal into the snake-man's chest.

But this time, the Serpent-man Evil Spirit didn't dodge or evade, taking the punch head-on.

Perhaps due to burning its Origin, the Serpent-man Evil Spirit's bones were incredibly hard.

Chen Shanzhi's punch actually only left a faint white mark on its body.

Red light flashed in the Serpent-man Evil Spirit's eyes as it first blasted Chen Shanzhi back with a punch.

Then it formed a hand seal, and countless blood-colored longswords condensed around it.

It pointed its hand: "Go."

These blood-colored swords shot toward Shen Lingfu and the others like lightning.

Everyone could see that this Serpent-man Evil Spirit was desperately stalling for time!

But the Serpent-man Evil Spirit's methods were extremely eerie, and for a moment, they were actually held back by it.
