545 Black-Clothed Guard! (2)

They had integrated themselves with the Black Heaven Race and even received blood from them to merge with their own people. As a result, for generations, a trace of black blood remained in the red blood of the Holy Wave Race.

Moreover, during the friction in the past years, the Holy Wave Race was even more savage than the Black Heaven Race when it came to fighting against the human race. It was as though the more cruel they were to the human race, the more they could prove themselves.

At the same time, they were also covetous of the only Fenghai County in the Holy Wave Large Region that hadn’t been unified by him.

If it wasn’t for the fact that it still had scruples about the human emperor’s region, it would have devoured Fenghai County long ago.

However, both the human race and Fenghai County knew that there would eventually be a battle between the two sides in the future.

The current balance was so fragile that it could be broken by any disturbance.

In reality, it wasn’t just Fenghai County. During the secret training, Xu Qing knew that the other six counties were in a similar situation. Some counties had even lost several provinces.

“The storm is moving and the buildings are collapsing.” This was the helpless voice of the Deputy Governor that day.

As Xu Qing pondered, three days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Kong Xianglong told him about the code names.

Every time they went out on a task, no one would call out their names. They would each have a temporary code name.

“Kid.”

Xu Qing said softly. This was his code name for this mission. He also planned to keep using this code name.

“Alright, this time, I’m called Brother Long. Haha, just call me that.” Kong Xianglong smiled.

Very soon, everyone arrived at the second teleportation point. Through this place, they teleported to another place. After a few more days, they finally arrived at the Lin Lan province.

This was one of the border provinces between Fenghai County and the Holy Wave Race.

“There’s one last teleportation and we can reach the border area.”

After arriving here, everyone’s vigilance was incomparably intense. Although this place was still within the territory of Fenghai County, it was still connected to the Holy Wave territory.

Even though there was a rule between the two races that if any Nascent Soul cultivator dared to take half a step out of their respective borders, they would immediately be killed by Taboo magic treasures, they had no choice but to be wary.

Moreover, high-level Heavenly Palace Golden Core cultivators were equipped with some items with great lethality.

It was late at night, the moon obscured by dark clouds. Bolts of lightning swam across the sky, accompanied by deafening rumbles. The rain poured down heavily at this moment.

In the heavy rain, the 17 figures continued to move toward the teleportation array.

Not long after, as the rain intensified, a simple stone fortress city appeared in the distance. Xu Qing’s eyes turned cold as he sensed the smell of blood.

The expressions of Shan He, w.a.n.g Chen, and Night Spirit also changed slightly.

Kong Xianglong’s eyes had narrowed long before they reached their destination. The moment he lifted his right hand, everyone immediately squatted down, their faces serious and alert.

“There was no signal from the teleportation point at the designated time. Something went wrong.”

“Kid, Enchantress, Sun Spirit, and River Path, the four of you will each move with three people. As for me, I’ll go alone. We will enter from five different directions simultaneously and eliminate any nonhuman races we encounter!”

“If you encounter a high ranked Golden Core, delay and wait for me.” Kong Xianglong immediately made a decision.

After saying that, he rushed out and headed straight for the fortress in front. Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the Sword Holders from the field office. These people instantly chose Shan He’s group.

The remaining three were too late and they looked at Xu Qing.

“Fellow Daoists, don’t follow too closely.” Xu Qing threw out three pill bottles that contained specialized antidotes.

After Xu Qing joined the Sword Holder, in order to avoid what happened in the Knowledge Hall back then from happening again, he prepared some antidotes that could somewhat neutralize the poison that wasn’t from the Poison Restriction.

However, his poison was a compound poison. Although the antidote had an effect, they couldn’t inhale the poisoned air.

However, if they were a little further away, it was okay for them to follow since the poison would be diluted.

Xu Qing then set off. The others were the same. The three of the field officers looked at each other and followed behind Xu Qing.

Very soon, the 17 Sword Holders split into five directions and approached the fortress.

Xu Qing didn’t stop at all. His body instantly rushed over and the Poison Restriction Pill in his body shook. Poison intent permeated his entire body without spreading out. He then waved his hand; immediately, a large amount of poison powder spread out.

After doing all this, he had already stepped into the fortress. As soon as he entered, he heard the rumbling of spells in the distance. A cold snort rang out from ahead, and at the next instant, a figure approached at an extremely fast speed.

The other party was a middle-aged man in a black robe. His appearance was no different from a human’s except for a black line between his brows. His Golden Core cultivation base of five palaces erupted. However, before he could get close to Xu Qing, his expression changed and horror appeared in his eyes as he spat out a large mouthful of black blood.

“What poison is this!”

He wasn’t surprised by the poison. What he was surprised about was that the poison was too intense. Just by taking a breath, he felt his internal organs burning and his vision turning black.

However, he no longer had the qualifications to continue being shocked. Xu Qing’s speed was too fast. He got close in an instant, and the dagger given by the captain appeared in his hand. He grabbed the handle wrapped in the shroud cloth and flashed past the middle-aged man.

The dagger grazed the middle-aged man’s neck and his head flew up.

Xu Qing crouched down and stepped into the night, changing from prey to a hunter. He walked all the way to a dark corner. As he moved forward, he suddenly sped up and waved his dagger in front of him.

Before a figure who suddenly rushed out could make a move, its head seemed to have been delivered to Xu Qing. It flew up high in disbelief.

Xu Qing didn’t even glance at it. With a sway, he disappeared again.

A Holy Wave Race cultivator who was hiding in the dark was looking around, ready to attack, when his expression suddenly changed. He was about to counterattack but it was too late.

Xu Qing’s figure strangely appeared behind him. The dagger didn’t stop at all and slashed across his neck.

Xu Qing frowned as a whistling sound rang out from behind him. However, as red lightning and the shadow’s eyes opened, the body of the person who ambushed Xu Qing shook and the iron stick directly pierced through his forehead.

Spells continued to erupt from everywhere in the fortress and the sounds of fighting rang out non-stop. Kong Xianglong’s low shout rang out in the air as he rose into the air. There were four Holy Wave Race members with the combat strength of eight palaces around him.

To have the combat strength of eight palaces, it could be seen that these four people shouldn’t be ordinary people in the Holy Wave Race. Each of them had an emperor-level cultivation art.

They were clearly using standardized emperor-level cultivation art. They each manifested black demonic hands that overlapped and emitted astonis.h.i.+ng might. Moreover, they formed a formation and even used four magic treasure fragments.

All of this wasn’t for the sake of killing. This was because it was too difficult to kill Kong Xianglong. Hence, their goal was only to form a trapping array to trap Kong Xianglong.

At the same time, lightning filled the sky, as though it was attracted and was about to descend. Its target was Kong Xianglong.

When Xu Qing saw all of this, his eyes turned even colder. However, he didn’t rush over. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the darkness ahead.

A figure was walking over step by step.

“Interesting. The Sword Holders of the human race this time are a little different from the ones we, the black-clothed guards, usually encounter.”

The Holy Wave Race also had a department similar to the Sword Holding Palace called the Black-Clothed Guard.

At that moment, the whistling sound of wind rang out from behind Xu Qing. The three Sword Holders from the field office rushed over. After they sensed the poison on the way, they ate many antidotes.

This was after Xu Qing had restrained himself after killing people and retracted a portion of the poison. Otherwise, the antidotes would be useless.

On the way, they also saw many Holy Wave Race members who had lost their heads and died in one strike.

Every one of them had the combat strength of the five palaces like them.

Hence, their minds were already shaken by Xu Qing.

They had heard that this batch of new Sword Holders was different from the past. There were a few monstrous geniuses among them and Xu Qing was among them. However, they had never seen him make a move before.

Now that they had personally seen how terrifying Xu Qing was, they had a deep impression of him.

In reality, they were also outstanding talents. They had remarkable battle results when they carried out missions alone. However, in comparison, they were still inferior.

“There are three more.” As the three Sword Holders from the field office appeared, a figure emerged from the darkness. He was dressed in a black Daoist robe embroidered with golden flames, and in the dark night, it appeared as though holy fire was burning, emanating extraordinary fluctuations.

A ma.s.sive black hand, formed by an emperor-level cultivation art, rose behind him. The hand bore six Heavenly Palaces, revealing the immense combat strength of this individual’s seven palaces as the pressure spread out.
