Chapter 394: Dust-breaking Power
Hu Qing's figure flashed rapidly in the bone thorn jungle, and every step was precisely placed in the gaps between attacks.
His pupils contracted slightly, and a pale golden light flowed in his eyes.
That was the "precognitive" ability brought by the golden elixir, which allowed him to sense the trajectory of each bone spur half a second in advance.
When he was promoted to Duanchen, this ability was also strengthened.
Hu Qing could clearly feel that the spiritual power in his body that did not belong to him was gradually fading away, just like sand in his hand, which could not be stopped from flowing away no matter how tightly he held it.
His movements were still swift, but each dodge was more difficult than the last.
"We must end this battle quickly..." Hu Qing gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed like a hawk on the Zhe standing in the center of the battlefield.
Zhe's face became increasingly gloomy.
He didn't expect that a human cultivator who had just entered the Dust-Breaking Stage could remain unscathed by his violent attack.
Those bone spurs that were strong enough to pierce an ordinary monk into a sieve seemed as ridiculous as children's toys in front of Hu Qing.
"A mere ant that couldn't even break free from its chains..."
Zhe suddenly stopped attacking, his scaly face twisted into a ferocious smile, "Today I will let you see the true power of Dust Breaking!"
He suddenly closed his eyes and opened his arms as if embracing the entire battlefield.
Hu Qing's heart was filled with alarm, but the opportunity was fleeting. He rushed forward without hesitation, and a bright sword light condensed in his hand, aiming straight for Zhe's throat!
When the sword tip was only three inches away from Zhe——
"Boom!"
A dull roar came from inside the monster's body, like the beating of an ancient war drum.
The entire battlefield was shaken, and the gravel on the ground actually floated slightly in the air with the sound of the heartbeat!
Hu Qing's sword suddenly froze in mid-air, as if it was stuck in an invisible quagmire.
"Boom!"
The second heartbeat sounded, heavier than the first.
Hu Qing was horrified to find that his movements had become slower, as if they had been slowed down ten times.
He tried his best to move forward, but his arms felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heartbeat became faster and louder.
Zeng slowly opened his eyes, and his originally turbid pupils were now clear as a mirror, reflecting Hu Qing's astonished face.
"Do you feel it?"
Zhe's voice carried a strange rhythm that matched the sound of his heartbeat perfectly. "This is the power that comes from breaking free from the chains of the heart—the realm of time!"
Hu Qing's forehead was covered in sweat. He felt like an insect trapped in amber, every movement requiring a hundred times more effort than usual.
What's even more terrifying is that he can clearly feel that the power of the twin flowers is being dissipated bit by bit by this strange heartbeat!
In the distance, Gu Yang struggled to stand up: "A Qing... retreat quickly..."
But as soon as he stood up, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground again.
Xiao Zi stared at the battlefield, his purple dragon eyes filled with fear.
Hu Qing's eardrums were hurt by the strange heartbeat, even though he covered his ears tightly with his hands.
The "dong-dong" sound was still like a thorn in the bone, drilling directly into the depths of my mind.
What was even more terrifying was that he clearly felt his heart begin to accelerate uncontrollably, gradually synchronizing with the heartbeat.
"Uh-"
Hu Qing groaned and fell to one knee on the ground.
The blood in his body was like boiling water, rushing wildly in his veins.
Spider-web-like bloodshot began to appear on the surface of the skin, and tiny blood beads oozed from the corners of the eyes and nasal cavity.
Every heartbeat was like a sledgehammer hitting his chest, shaking his internal organs.
Zhe stood not far away, a look of cruel delight on his scaly face.
He slowly opened his claws, facing Hu Qing with his palm, and made a grabbing motion——
"puff!"
A bloody wound suddenly appeared on Hu Qing's right arm, and a stream of blood seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, struggling to break out of the body!
"How does it taste?"
He tightened his claws with a sinister smile, "This is just the beginning. I will make you watch your blood leave your body bit by bit, just like when you humans were drained of blood for sacrifice!"
Hu Qing bit the tip of his tongue, using the pain to force himself to stay awake.
He pressed the wound on his right arm tightly, but blood still flowed out from between his fingers.
What's worse, he felt that the spiritual power in his dantian began to stir along with the blood, and its circulation became disordered.
"Is this... the strength that Duan Chen needs to tear apart the chains?" Hu Qing gasped with difficulty, and his vision began to go dark.
He didn't expect that the gap in realm would be so huge. The opponent didn't even really make a move, but put him in a desperate situation with just his domain ability.
In the distance, Gu Yang struggled to get up and help, but was held down by Xiao Zi.
"Are we just going to watch Ah Qing die?!" Gu Yang's eyes were bloodshot, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
In the center of the battlefield, Zhe watched Hu Qing's painful struggle with enjoyment.
He deliberately slowed down the speed of drawing blood, torturing the human who dared to hurt him bit by bit like a cat playing with a mouse.
"You know what?" Zhe licked his fangs, "I love to see the expressions of you human monks before you die.
Even though I'm so weak, I always think I can create miracles."
After saying this, he increased the force of his blood absorption. He wanted to see this pretentiously arrogant human in front of him kneel down and beg for mercy!
Under Hu Qing's skin, blood was surging like boiling water, and blood vessels were twisted and bulging under the skin, as if they would burst at any time.
The strange heartbeat of Zhe echoed in his ears, and every beat made his blood and energy more out of control.
Can't wait to die!
If you continue like this, you will definitely die!
He gritted his teeth and forced his spiritual energy to suppress the turbulent meridians in his body.
The violent backlash made him spit out a large mouthful of dirty black blood, but at the same time, the controlled blood was temporarily suppressed.
Zhe was a little dazed watching this scene.
good chance!
Hu Qing took a step forward, and his body was as fast as lightning, rushing towards Zhe again!
Seeing this, Zeng snorted coldly and slammed the bone staff in his hand. In an instant, a wall of white bones rose from the ground, stretching between the two of them.
These bone walls are not simple obstacles. Each side is covered with barbs, and dark green poisonous mist seeps out from the gaps. Anyone who touches it will die!
Hu Qing did not retreat. He gathered sword energy in his right fist and punched out!
"boom!"
The first bone wall shattered, but then the second, the third...
Hu Qing's fist was already bloody, but he still did not stop, with only a ferocious figure in his eyes.
"Stupid!" With a ferocious laugh, he swung the bone staff, and a cluster of sharp bone spurs condensed out of thin air and stabbed at Hu Qing like a poisonous snake!
"Pfft!"
The bone spur pierced through Hu Qing's shoulder, and the poison was instantly injected into his body.
Hu Qing groaned, and half of his body was instantly paralyzed, but this was the moment he had been waiting for!
It's now!
At the moment when the bone spur pierced into him, Hu Qing flipped his left hand, and several talismans that had been clamped between his fingers slammed into Zhe's chest!
"What is that?!" Zhe's pupils shrank and he instinctively wanted to step back, but it was too late!
Blood oozed from the corner of Hu Qing's mouth, and he sneered, "Explode."
This is the detonating talisman that Master Xin specially prepared for them, hoping it can cause damage to Zhe.
"boom--!!"
The spiritual power in the talisman exploded instantly, and blazing flames shot up into the sky, swallowing up Zhe completely!
The shock wave of the explosion blew Hu Qing away dozens of meters and he fell heavily to the ground.
His shoulder had completely lost all feeling and the poison was spreading wildly, but he smiled.
This blow is enough for him to bear!
The blinding explosion engulfed Zhe whole. The air was immediately filled with the stench of burnt flesh, and he let out a painful roar.
"Did it succeed?" Gu Yang panted and looked at the figure in the smoke and dust nervously.
However, after the smoke and dust cleared, the scene that appeared before their eyes made everyone gasp.
Half of Zhe's face had been burned by thunder and fire, revealing his white bones and wriggling muscles, but his smile became even more ferocious.
What's even more terrifying is that the blood snakes roaming nearby have crawled all over his body, forming a layer of wriggling blood armor!
"Very good..." Zhe's voice sounded like it came from hell, "You have completely angered this elder."
He suddenly tore off his tattered robes, revealing his strong body covered with scales.
Those blood snakes slithered over his body, gradually seeping into the gaps between his scales, causing his body to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye!
With an inhuman roar, Zhe completed his transformation——
He is now three meters tall, his body covered with blood-crystal scales, and he even has a pair of wings made of bones and blood growing on his back!
