Chapter 810: Chapter 367: Repairing and Upgrading the Puppet Array; The Peril of Evil Qi (3)

Even if it means mutual destruction, I will make this human cultivator pay the price.

"Looking for death!"

Noticing that the Thunder Flood Dragon seemed inclined to self-destruct its Essence Soul Pill, a flash of lethal intent appeared in Xu Ping’s eyes, and his entire aura suddenly became incredibly sharp.

A towering sword light suddenly shone, like a lightning bolt that tore through the darkness, instantly severing the proud head of the Thunder Flood Dragon.

As the Flood Dragon’s blood spurted, its dark blue scales lost their luster, and the hundred-zhang long body collapsed onto the sea surface like a crumbling mountain, raising towering waves.

"The... Thunder Flood Dragon... is dead?"

On the shattered Mystic Turtle spiritual ship, the scene was deathly still.

Two cultivators at the Golden Core Perfection stage were trembling all over, as if they had seen a ghost.

This person not only has overwhelming combat power but also possesses a Fourth Rank Middle Grade Spirit Pet. Such strength is absolutely top-tier among the human cultivators in the Outer Sea.

Yet they had never heard of such a powerful figure. Could he have come from the mainland?

"Junior member of the Mystic Turtle Business Alliance, we thank the senior for your life-saving grace!!"

"The senior’s grace of rebirth, we juniors will never forget!!"

Unknowingly led by someone, all the cultivators on the ship, including the two Golden Core ancestors, bowed in gratitude toward Xu Ping.

However, Xu Ping seemed indifferent to the awe shown by the cultivators beneath him.

His gaze, as cold as lightning, pierced through the swirling blood and waves, firmly locking onto the distant horizon. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Two Escape Lights were tearing through the clouds, arriving at a speed far exceeding that of an ordinary Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"They came quickly," Xu Ping sneered coldly in his heart.

When he killed the Thunder Flood Dragon earlier, it was not only because the beast was about to self-destruct its Essence Soul Pill without hesitation.

More importantly, he had already sensed these two Nascent Soul auras rapidly approaching.

To avoid complications, he chose to end the battle swiftly with such thunderous means.

Just as the Water Lake Mouse finished handling the Thunder Flood Dragon’s corpse, the owners of these auras had arrived.

Swish! Swish!

The Escape Lights dissipated, revealing the figures within.

A man and a woman stood side by side.

The man had a tall figure, donned in a pale moon-white robe embroidered with intricate water patterns, and his demeanor was handsome.

The woman wore a water-blue palace dress of the same color palette, her figure was graceful, and her appearance was as gentle as flowing water.

What was even more surprising was that the two’s auras blended in harmony, merging into one.

Peak of Early-stage Nascent Soul, with complementary cultivation techniques.

When such individuals joined forces, their power was far from a simple addition; they could probably contend with a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, to Xu Ping, the threat was limited, and he could slay them.

The real concern was the power they represented behind them.

While Xu Ping sized up the two, their gaze also fell on him.

Upon meeting his eyes, the two felt a chill in their hearts.

Evil Qi!

The intense, almost tangible malicious aura, like thick blood-colored fog, surrounded Xu Ping.

"This person... just how many Fourth Rank Great Demons has he slain?!" Both of their eyes couldn’t help but shrink slightly, causing waves of shock in their hearts.

Such an accumulation of Evil Qi was definitely not from slaying just one or two demon beasts, especially in such a short amount of time.

Although the Second-stage Outer Sea was filled with Great Demons, such reckless slaughter, was he not afraid of incurring the... True Dragon Hall’s wrath?!

This person, who is he, could he have come from the mainland?

The brief silence was broken.

"I am Xu Ping, greetings to both fellow Daoists."

Xu Ping took note of the unusual look in their eyes, and with a faint smile, saluted them.

Liang Ming and Lei Jingyan quickly suppressed the waves inside them, exchanged a glance, and both saw the seriousness and a hint of undetectable wariness in each other’s eyes.

"So, it’s Fellow Daoist Xu in person."

Liang Ming returned the salute, his voice steady and powerful, carrying a metallic tone, "I am Liang Ming of the Mystic Water Sect, and this is my wife, Lei Jingyan."

He introduced his Daoist companion beside him, his posture neither humble nor arrogant, fully displaying the demeanor of a sect disciple.

"Mystic Water Sect?"

Xu Ping’s eyebrows barely twitched slightly.

The human forces in the Second-stage Outer Sea were intertwined, but truly dominant ones were few and far between.

Mystic Water Sect was one of them.

The sect was located near the "Nether Sea Eyer" in the Outer Sea, with a Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator presiding over an endless expanse of sea with deep foundations.

No wonder they could nurture such Daoist partners.

"Fellow Daoist Xu’s methods are impressive; this lone Thunder Flood Dragon was extremely cruel and killed many of our human race cultivators."

Lei Jingyan’s red lips parted slightly, her voice as pleasing as a clear spring hitting jade,

"Our Mystic Water Sect also attempted to besiege it several times without success, yet today it fell under fellow Daoist’s sword. Fellow Daoist’s divine techniques are truly admirable."

"The beast was ignorant, wished to destroy a spiritual ship, and brought about its own destruction."

Xu Ping’s tone was indifferent, his gaze swept over the tattered Mystic Turtle spiritual ship below, and then returned to Liang Ming and his wife, "It’s both fellow Daoists who arrived right on time."

The implication in these words made Liang Ming and his wife feel a slight chill in their hearts.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you may not know."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming hurried to explain, "The two of us were indeed following the sect’s order to ’exterminate the Thunder Flood Dragon’, hence our rushed arrival."

"It’s just that we didn’t expect fellow Daoist to have such divine techniques, already slaying the beast, which really commands our admiration."

So that was it.

Xu Ping appeared to understand, his inner vigilance slightly eased.

Since it was a sect mission and their goals aligned, it seemed they weren’t deliberately targeting him.

Seeing Xu Ping’s expression slightly soften, Liang Ming continued, "Fellow Daoist’s swift methods in eliminating this beast were truly satisfying and saved us the trouble, however..."

His words took a slight turn, with a hint of negotiation, "The dragon’s head and some essence blood are our certificates to report back to the sect."

"Would fellow Daoist be willing to relinquish them?"

Liang Ming’s tone was sincere, "Of course, my wife and I are willing to exchange with equivalent valuables, ensuring fellow Daoist will not be at a disadvantage."

"The dragon’s head and some essence blood?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping felt a stir in his heart, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

The dragon’s head and some essence blood were indeed not particularly precious to him.

If he could exchange them for some convenience or useful information, it would not be a bad bargain.
