63: Chapter 63 Looting Rare Stones
" Peng, King Peng is dead! " The subordinates of the Old Peng King all wore expressions of horror, scattering in all directions like frightened birds and beasts.
Chu Qingqiu didn't bother with them; they were nothing more than a rabble.
The Black Emperor transformed into his original form and ran in, embracing the corpse of the Old Peng King, which had reverted to its Sky Peng form. He was full of excitement as he drank the Sky Peng blood from within its body.
" The taste of this Sky Peng blood is truly excellent! " The Black Emperor ate with great relish, while Chu Qingqiu silently observed the bizarre scene of a dog eating a Sky Peng.
" The strong live, the weak die; this really is an incredibly cruel world. " Chu Qingqiu clenched his fists, his Dao Heart becoming a bit firmer.
" *Hiccup* ~ " The Black Emperor burped, patted his round belly, and squinted his eyes with an expression of satisfaction, saying, " Drinking this Sky Peng blood today was truly comfortable. You did well, kid. "
" To dare to drink the blood of a powerful expert so casually, as expected of you, Black Emperor. " Chu Qingqiu laughed.
The blood of a powerful expert contains surging energy. If an ordinary Cultivator were to drink too much, there is a high probability they would explode and die. Yet, the Black Emperor had almost drunk the Old Peng King dry without any issues, which showed his extraordinary nature.
" Isn't it just the blood of a powerful expert? When I was with the Great Emperor in the past, I ate even better things. " The Black Emperor said with a look of disdain.
" Since you're full, take out the mysterious jade platform. We are returning to the Holy City in the Northern Region. " Chu Qingqiu was still thinking about the treasures hidden within the exotic stones in the Holy City.
" I know, why are you rushing me! " The Black Emperor looked impatient. He pulled out the mysterious jade platform, which was engraved with profound formation patterns, from who knows where. His dog claws pawed at it, and then a dazzling white light enveloped both the man and the dog.
" You actually teleported us correctly this time; there's progress, Black Emperor. " Chu Qingqiu looked at the familiar city gate ahead and praised him.
" That was just a mistake before. As long as the formation patterns are fine, I can definitely teleport us correctly! " The Black Emperor protested.
" Brother Chu, why have you come to the Holy City? " The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury, who was strolling through the Holy City, suddenly spotted Chu Qingqiu and hurried over, looking pleasantly surprised.
" I'm short on Source, so I came to earn some. " Chu Qingqiu said with a calm expression.
The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury sighed, " Brother Chu, you are truly amazing. Not only did you snatch the chaos stone in Li City, but I didn't expect you to have a connection with that God King of the Jiang Family. "
" Previously, all the major Holy Lands were preparing to put out a wanted order for you. But when Divine King Jiang heard about this, he directly declared that whoever stands as an enemy to Brother Chu stands as an enemy to Divine King Jiang. No one dares to provoke a God King of Major Achievement, so the major Holy Lands withdrew their wanted orders. "
" With Divine King Jiang having spoken, these Holy Lands dare not deal with me openly, but there must be plenty of petty tactics going on behind the scenes. " Chu Qingqiu was very clear about the current situation, but he feared no challenges or conspiracies.
The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury smiled bitterly, " Since Brother Chu understands this, why do you still dare to walk openly into the Holy City? "
" Because I have this. " Chu Qingqiu waved his fist. If anyone really wanted to assassinate him, he would just happen to wipe out these sewer rats all at once!
" Brother Chu is truly bold due to his high level of skill. " The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury sighed.
The immortal-slaying gourd is currently driven by energy. It would be perfect to cut more Source at the Holy Land stone workshops, then use the Source obtained from these Holy Land stone workshops to replenish the energy for the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and kill them back!
" Which Holy Land's stone workshop does Brother Chu want to visit today to cut stones? " The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury looked excited. He had previously witnessed Chu Qingqiu's miraculous Source Art, and being able to see it again today naturally made him extremely excited.
" Let's go to Daoyi Holy Land first. "
At the Daoyi Holy Land stone workshop, ancient trees towered all around, blocking the scorching sun. Beneath the green shade, it was exceptionally cool. In the flashy and bustling Holy City, this Daoyi Holy Land stone workshop had a feeling of returning to simplicity.
" Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury, you've come too?! " When Chu Qingqiu and the Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury arrived at Daoyi Holy Land, the area in front of the Holy Land stone workshop was crowded with people. It was said that a Source Art Great Master had arrived today.
The person speaking to the Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury was a young man wearing a golden robe. At this moment, the man's brows were furrowed, and his face was full of displeasure.
" Can I not come? Jin Chixiao! " The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury retorted sharply. He and this Jin Chixiao of the Northern Plains Golden Family did not get along at all.
" Of course you can come; this Daoyi Holy Land stone workshop isn't run by me. But it's fine that you came, why did you bring a dog along? Hahaha! " Jin Chixiao pointed at the Black Emperor standing next to the Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury and laughed loudly.
" What the hell, can this be tolerated? Black Emperor, go get him! " Chu Qingqiu directly ordered the Black Emperor to charge forward. The Black Emperor transformed into a black shadow, his dog mouth wide open, and with one bite, he bit off Jin Chixiao's finger.
The Black Emperor chewed on Jin Chixiao's finger while revealing a lewd smile: " Kid, this is the price for mocking this Emperor. Do you understand? "
Jin Chixiao was so furious that his hair almost stood on end. He flipped his right palm, intending to slap the Black Emperor to death.
Chu Qingqiu unleashed the Sky Peng Extreme Speed, his figure flashing. He reached out and restrained Jin Chixiao, saying coldly, " You insulted the Black Emperor first; that is the cause. Your finger being bitten off by the Black Emperor is the effect. If you dare to make another move, then I'll have to properly spar with you. "
When they previously came to the Holy City, the Zuixian Pavilion where Chu Qingqiu and Pang Bo stayed was run by this Jin Chixiao's Family. Yet, when they were ambushed and killed, this Golden Family made no response at all. Chu Qingqiu had long been displeased with this Golden Family.
Jin Chixiao only felt as if his wrist was clamped by iron pliers, unable to move a single bit. He understood in his heart that the strength of this young man in green clothes was likely above his own, so he had to say humiliatingly, " I understand, let go. "
Chu Qingqiu released Jin Chixiao. At this moment, the young man following beside Jin Chixiao spoke up.
" Kid, do you dare to gamble on stones with me!? " This young man was a Source Art practitioner and a good friend of Jin Chixiao. Seeing Jin Chixiao being bullied by Chu Qingqiu, he wanted to stand up for him. However, his combat power was not as good as Jin Chixiao's, so he could only use the Source Art he was most skilled in to defeat Chu Qingqiu and win everything Chu Qingqiu had, which would count as venting for Jin Chixiao.
" Why does everyone like gambling on stones so much? Don't you understand that gambling dogs don't die well? " Chu Qingqiu sighed, feeling very helpless.
The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Treasury stood to the side, smiling without a word. Gambling on stones with Chu Qingqiu—isn't that like holding a lantern in a latrine—looking for death?
" Could it be that you don't dare? " The young man beside Jin Chixiao mocked.
Chu Qingqiu couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with this guy. His figure flashed, and he immediately landed two big slaps, saying coldly, " Later, when I go in to cut stones, you and Jin Chixiao follow me in. After cutting the stones, just obediently hand over the Source on your bodies. Do you understand? "
" You, you are robbing us! " The young man held his right cheek, which was swollen like a pig's head, and said angrily.
" If I were robbing you, you wouldn't even have the clothes on your back right now! " Chu Qingqiu sneered.
Daoyi Holy Land's Heaven-grade stone garden.
In the stone garden, many God Blue Trees were planted. The blue leaves were crystal clear and extremely beautiful. The air was fresh, and many exotic stones were placed in the garden.
" I, I lost! " The young man who had threatened to gamble against Chu Qingqiu knelt on the ground, his head hanging low.
Jin Chixiao, standing to the side, covered his face with his sleeve, indicating that he did not know this disgraceful fellow.
Chu Qingqiu bought the two most valuable exotic stones in the garden at an extremely fast speed. One stone contained a humanoid divine medicine, and the other contained a Dragon-patterned Black Gold Sword.
" Hand over all the Source on your bodies. " Chu Qingqiu was expressionless. He originally didn't want to gamble on any stones, but since some people insisted on delivering Source into his hands, he could only reluctantly play along with them.
" A humanoid divine medicine, thirty thousand catties of Source! " An old man spoke up, wanting to buy the humanoid divine medicine.
