Legend of Swordsman
chapter-6018

He was not Divine Wood King, willing to give up his treasure.

Xilu was not Danbao either, who could keep his promise.

However, Hu Qing didn’t care about any of this. He swung his ancient staff and charged straight at Xilu.

Ye Xiaowang posed no threat to him. He wasn’t here for Ye Xiaowang, but to eliminate Xilu.

This monster did not belong to the Northern Spacetime.

He had come on the orders of the Realm King to kill Xilu.

“Heaven Wheel!”

Hu Qing shouted angrily, sweeping his staff towards Xilu and shattering his divine body instantly.

In his Origin Source Dao Arena, he was almost invincible.

He relentlessly crushed Xilu without holding back at all.

Xilu’s divine body continually shattered and then regenerated.

Having absorbed so much blood-colored power, he had long attained an immortal body, but each injury caused a backlash to his divine body. This method of endurance was not a solution.

“Damn it!” Xilu roared, “Ye Xiao, you’ll die with me!”

An enraged Xilu cursed Ye Xiaowang!

If he had absorbed that blood-colored treasure, he would not be in such a passive state.

The blood-colored power was crucial for the first stage of his life. As long as he could fully devour the blood-colored power, he would step into the Ninth Tribulation. At that point, how could he fear the bald monk in front of him?

Ye Xiaowang noticed that Hu Qing did not attack him, making him even less anxious.

Compared to Ye Wudao’s plan, he valued his treasure more.

Without the treasure, the blood-colored power would be useless to him. Why would he give the treasure to Xilu?

“Hmph!” Ye Xiaowang snorted coldly, completely ignoring Xilu being crushed by Hu Qing. “When you came, you were probably eyeing my treasure, a wolf with wild ambitions. How could I let you succeed!”

He hadn’t fully mastered that treasure himself. When the path to resurrection opened in the future, he would have endless opportunities. How could he abandon it?

Boom!!!

Xilu’s divine body shattered again, and his strength began to decline.

After restoring his original form once more, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said defiantly, “Damn it, if I had reached the complete form of the first stage, how could you defeat me? I have the bloodline of the Frost Demon Clan, and I can become even stronger!”

He clenched his fists, forcibly enhancing his divine power, and actively charged at Hu Qing.

However, the disparity in their strength was immense.

Hu Qing didn’t even use his ancient staff. He lifted a foot and kicked Xilu hard in the face, sending him flying through the void.

But in the next moment, his figure flashed and appeared within the clouds below. Xilu’s body, uncontrollably plummeting, was caught by Hu Qing’s staff.

Amplified by a secret technique, this strike directly halved Xilu’s divine power.

Xilu was rendered completely incapable of fighting.

“Hiss…” Ye Xiaowang couldn’t help but gasp when he saw this.

That staff strike just now, if it had been him, he would have perished.

The mysterious strong man before him was too terrifying; the two of them didn’t even have the ability to resist.

Suspended in the void, with only half his body left and unable to even regenerate his flesh, Xilu’s eyes were about to burst. Clenching his single fist, he raved, “Kill me! If you kill me, my blood will stain the entire Northern Starry Sky. If you dare, kill me!”

“This is the first time I’ve heard such a request!” Hu Qing sent out a huge wave of energy with one hand, suppressing Xilu’s divine power to its lowest again. “But I can’t grant it!”

When the Realm King entrusted this task to him, he had said not to kill Xilu in the Northern Starry Sky.

It was best to seal him first.

After sealing, he would be sent to the Realm God Continent for execution.

The Realm God Continent, akin to the Divine Realm of the subsidiary spacetime, was the ultimate place for All Things and much more stable than the subsidiary spacetime.

By the time Xilu was executed there, there would be no backlash. Even if there was, it couldn’t affect the Realm God Continent.

Moreover, the Realm God Continent housed mechanical beings that could disperse this blood energy.

“Ye Xiaowang, someone wants to give you a chance. Bring your daughter Ye Lingxiao here, and all past grievances will be forgiven!” Hu Qing stood in the void, speaking calmly.

Sealing Xilu required a person and a supreme treasure.

Ye Lingxiao, who wielded the blood-colored Origin Source, was needed to seal Xilu.

She would be reborn then, and the Realm King had already promised to reshape her Origin Source.

However, the reshaped Origin Source would be that of an Emperor.

With the Realm King’s help, Ye Lingxiao could cultivate to the Fifth Tribulation again, or even higher.

Upon hearing Hu Qing’s words, Ye Xiaowang didn’t hesitate and agreed immediately.

He had no chance to resist now.

With a single hand, he summoned Ye Lingxiao from Long Night City.

Originally resting in the clan residence, Ye Lingxiao suddenly appeared in the dark void, somewhat dazed. Before she could comprehend the situation, she saw her ancestor and a mutilated monster.

“Old Ancestor?” Ye Lingxiao glanced at the Old Ancestor and felt an overwhelming aura rising behind her.

Seeing that it was Hu Qing, she couldn’t help but shudder.

She had long guessed that the other party would have ulterior motives but didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.

Ye Xiaowang casually tossed Ye Lingxiao over and respectfully said, “Dao Friend, I suppose there’s nothing more for me here, right?”

“Alright, you may leave!” Hu Qing steadily caught Ye Lingxiao, no longer paying attention to Ye Xiaowang. Instead, he gently said, “Forgive me!”

Before Ye Lingxiao could react, Hu Qing reached out with one hand, thrusting it into her abdomen and extracting a complete Origin Source.

A blood-red Origin Source, with blood dripping down.

Buzz!

Ye Lingxiao’s divine body trembled, and her Life force began to drain away.

“No!”

A roar of unwillingness echoed from the depths of spacetime.

A massive pyramid instantly descended.

The spinning pyramid came to a stable stop, and the recent scene caused Wanyan’s face to change dramatically.

“Hmm?” Only then did Hu Qing realize someone had arrived. Seeing the pyramid, although he couldn’t sense the specific aura, he knew who was inside!

As the pyramid had just arrived, Jian Wushuang also tore through spacetime to get there.

Seeing Hu Qing present, his heart leaped with joy. It was effortless—all the people had gathered.

But when he saw the corpse in Hu Qing’s hands, he froze on the spot.

Then he saw Wanyan rush out of the pyramid like a madman.

Hu Qing wanted to explain, but there was no time. He had to seal Xilu immediately because the blood-red Origin Source wouldn’t last long.

He had said he wouldn’t harm Ye Lingxiao; this blood-red Origin Source was a disaster within her body and had to be removed.

The person wasn’t truly dead but would reincarnate and obtain a better Origin Source.

By then, he would make amends, even if it meant setting up a grand banquet to apologize, but he couldn’t ignore the Realm King’s request.

Faced with the enraged Wanyan, he could only seal the spacetime, blocking him.

At this moment, Wu Zuo and Dongsheng also rushed out of the pyramid, stopping Wanyan.
