Chapter 95
Chapter 95: Ethereal Void Beyond Heaven (Part 4)
Living human Gu?
What is that? Although Si Cang Qing is not proficient in the art of Gu poison, he knows a lot, at least... Looking
at the chaotic and bloody scene, Si Cang Qing frowned. At least such a powerful Gu similar to "human" has never
been recorded or rumored in books, folks, and the martial arts world. But now is not the time to find out what
this thing is.
Below, there are heavy casualties.
Si Cang Qing climbed on the beam and stared at the fighting scene - not because he didn't want to help, but
because those people couldn't tell the enemy from us.
This time, everyone might be buried here!
With his mind spinning rapidly, Si Cang Qing wanted to jump down again to attack the Gu. The moment his
body moved slightly, Qi Shuangran's words passed through his ears:
"Qingqing, don't get bitten or scratched by that thing!"
Without thinking too much, Si Cang Qing nodded quickly, and the man flew out a few feet away. Retreating or
escaping has never been his style. At the same time as the light movement, the silver thread in his hand has been
thrown out.
The silver thread waved the compelling sword energy, and before it reached the "man", the other party was
sensitive to it and jumped away suddenly - this jump showed that his movements were sharp and terrifying. Even
if Si Cang Qing's martial arts were so powerful, it was estimated that he could not match the agility of this "man".
Sure enough, the moment the "man" dodged Si Cang Qing's attack, it seemed that he immediately discovered
that he was the one who attacked him, and then he swooped over here like a flying bird, and the oppressive and
heavy breath he carried was like an invisible net, as if he wanted to bind the enemy tightly.
The stench of the "man" suddenly poured into the nose, with a strong pressure, as if it was going to be stuffed
into the man's stomach. The function subconsciously reacted strongly, causing Si Cang Qing, who had excellent
physical and mental qualities, to feel a surge of nausea from the bottom of his heart.
That "person" simply became stronger when facing a stronger opponent.
Si Cang Qing had no time to dodge, and could only release a huge amount of true qi at the moment when
the opponent pounced on him, forming a safe barrier with his internal force and shaking the opponent away.
Everything happened in a flash, and the instinct for survival made Si Cang Qing almost exert his greatest
strength - fortunately, the "person" was also directly shocked by his true qi, and his whole body was bounced
and flew out, falling hard under the pile of skulls.
The "person"'s body twitched slightly and curled up there for a while. Si Cang Qing spun around, and his
footsteps landed not far away, and then he stabilized his body. This pause, he found that all the people who had
just besieged the "person" looked listless, huddled on the ground listlessly, with a gray face, and sweat dripping
down their faces like raindrops...
Is it true that the "person" cannot be approached?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Si Cang Qing suddenly jumped up to a height of nearly ten
feet - but he saw that the "person" missed him and turned around without chasing him. However, before he
could relax, he was shocked to see that the "person" jumped like a ghost, using the dry bones of the high pile,
and flew straight towards Qi Shuangran who was clinging on the beam.
Si Cang Qing followed and threw out a silver thread several feet long, but the "man" grabbed it and swung it
away violently, attacking Si Cang Qing with great force. He quickly moved away and loosened his hand, and the
silver thread fell lightly to the ground. This series of changes happened in an instant, and the "man" pounced on
Qi Shuangran with a ferocious look.
Feeling the shadows in front of him, the "man" turned around suddenly and almost hit the wall beside him.
Qi Shuangran fell from mid-air - in order to avoid the attack of the "man" just now, he almost used up all his
strength.
Si Cang Qing flew to meet him and steadily caught Qi Shuangran's falling body. Over there, the "man" who had
recovered, rushed over again like crazy.
Having had several experiences of fighting, Si Cang Qing was no longer as passive as he was at the beginning.
He held Qi Shuangran and spun rapidly in the air, tapping the objects around him with his toes. It was just that
there was one more person, and facing the monster that was not a human, Si Cang Qing could not take the initiative
to attack.
On the ground, those who followed seemed to be completely unaware of their current situation. One by one, they
fell into a trance, and their originally painful and twisted expressions were strangely relieved. Their bodies
trembled and shrank into a ball.
That "person" seemed to have endless energy and fought Si Cang Qing desperately.
Holding Qi Shuangran, Si Cang Qing could only dodge around constantly, and he could not relax for a
moment - this kind of attack and defense had been going on for an unknown period of time. He had already
consumed too much energy in the previous fight, and at this time, Si Cang Qing was also faintly unable to
hold on.
However...
Although his body was already somewhat unresponsive and he was even nearly caught by that "person" several
times, Si Cang Qing's mind became clearer and his eyes were cold and icy.
In this situation, it's either you or I.
In his arms, Qi Shuangran raised his hand with strength and touched Si Cang Qing's shoulder. Instantly,
Si Cang Qing felt a stream of true energy poured into his body, and his physical strength increased a lot.
In fact, Piaomiao Palace and Penglai Pavilion are the same in terms of internal strength. With Qi Shuangran's help,
Si Cang Qing's spirit and strength have been greatly improved.
But looking at the "person" who rushed over again, Si Cang Qing's eyes turned cold, and he combined
Qi Shuangran's and most of his own internal strength, condensed the energy in his hands, and suddenly hit the
"person" in the face, swiftly and without leaving any room.
This blow finally caused the "person" to be severely injured again, and the dry body twisted and smashed against
the black wall opposite.
"Hiss--"
A sharp and piercing sound filled the entire space. This was also the first time that the "person" "made" a sound
after Si Cang Qing entered here.
◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇
However, what caught people off guard was that Si Cang Qing, who was concentrating on guarding against
the monster, suddenly felt a pressure from behind. Si Cang Qing, whose internal strength and physical energy
were almost exhausted, finally failed to dodge this time. The hand holding Qi Shuangran tightened suddenly,
and Qi Shuangran fell to the wall with him.
"Um——" Qi Shuangran's dirty face suddenly twisted, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
After stabilizing himself, Si Cang Qing glanced at him vigilantly-the young man who recognized him in the inn?
Suddenly, Si Cang Qing knew that this was the mysterious man who had fought with him several times! This
person now has a completely different appearance from the one on the battlefield of Luomen Pass, and even
the whole person's aura is different. It seems that he has completely changed into a different person-the one at
Luomen Pass was wooden, empty and lifeless; and the person in front of him, tearing off the disguised
impetuosity, has an undisguised evil and arrogance in his eyes, and a sarcastic arc is raised at the corner of
his mouth.
Si Cang Qing was certain that this person was the one who had been plotting to frame him.
But then, he suddenly flung something out from his sleeve straight at the monster. Immediately, that agile and
exceptionally energetic "person" seemed to lose all their energy. The mysterious young man then leaped over,
throwing out a tightly woven golden net-like object that bound the other person in an instant.
"Si Cang Qing!" The man, holding a living Gu in one hand, arrogantly attacked Si Cang Qing and the other
person, saying, "For the humiliation last time, I will repay you with interest today!"
"Hahaha!"
The deafening laughter seemed to shake this closed-off and dreary space.
This sentence immediately confirmed Si Cang Qing's thoughts. And this person didn't even bother to hide
their identity at all.
Without a moment to think, Si Cang Qing strained to gather his energy, barely pulling Qi Shuangran away from
the opponent's fierce palm energy, but his clothes were torn with a loud rip.
Barely landing a foot away, Si Cang Qing's body swayed, and he almost used up all his strength to barely stabilize
both of their bodies.
Surprisingly, the mysterious young man did not continue the attack; he merely bent down and picked up
the crescent-shaped cold iron that had fallen to the ground. He looked at Si Cang Qing with a half-smile, his tone
seemingly regretful, "Sigh, is a great ruler destined to perish in such a filthy place?"
Playing with the cold iron token in his hand, he laughed again, his arrogance fading away, revealing a hint of
mischief, "Si Cang Qing, this round, I win!"
"You are a descendant of the Yu Qiang clan!" This somewhat weak yet determined statement was made by
Qi Shuangran, who was leaning against Si Cang Qing. He looked at the other person with a fierce gaze, "Did you
set up this trap just to get the dry corpse of the Qiang deity?"
Qi Shuangran's words made the person tremble slightly—perhaps he didn't even notice it himself. The young man
immediately burst into laughter, "Haha, you guys are too late to understand!"
"Si Cang Qing, don't let me down in the next round!"
That mysterious young man left behind only these words and then disappeared through the gap in the roof that
had begun to crack apart. A burst of wild laughter lingered for a long time amidst the deafening noise.
I can no longer care about that person's identity or intentions; the most urgent thing now is to escape with my life.
Exhausted and severely injured by a sneak attack, Si Cang Qing, along with Qi Shuangran, who could faint at
any moment, trying to escape from this chaos where the earth shakes and the sky seems on the verge of collapse,
is almost an unachievable myth.
Timely dodging the falling boulder above, Si Cang Qing steadied the two of them. The entire ground was shaking,
and Si Cang Qing was desperately dodging while looking for a way to survive. His mind raced even faster, and
he suddenly realized that the final formation here had been activated.
The young man suddenly moved, grabbing the corpse in his hand, and somehow triggered a mechanism. The
entire room began to shake, and the bricks and stones from the ceiling started to fall.
The reason why the mysterious young man wanted to grab the cold iron token must be that it was to activate
the formation - to be precise, the key to crack the Heze Poison Forest. But this method of cracking was too fierce.
Without thinking, Si Cang Qing clearly felt that this place was falling at a rapid speed.
"Bang!" There was another vibration. In the closed house, all the night pearls that were originally illuminated
were smashed - the darkness in front of him was filled with smoke and dust, and even a rapidly surging water.
Si Cang Qing slowly tightened his arms and was no longer in a hurry to dodge the falling stones. He lowered his
head and asked lightly: "Can you hold on?"
Qi Shuangran tried hard to open his eyelids and smiled. A glimmer of light flashed across his lifeless eyes, and
his voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible: "Qingqing, I am Qi Shuangran, the master of
Piaomiao Palace."
Then...
"Let's go!"
