Undercurrents (3)
Feng Lingxue flew all the way to the northwest. Along the way, she kept her eyes on the ground to find out the root of the abnormality, until she saw a black mushroom cloud rising far above the horizon.
Looking at the mushroom cloud, Feng Lingxue inexplicably felt an ominous premonition. After hesitating for a moment, she flew in the direction of the mushroom cloud.
At this time, that city has turned into a purgatory on earth.
The black smoke instantly covered the entire city, and the howling of ghosts resounded throughout the city. It was clearly daytime, but the whole city seemed to be shrouded in the night in an instant. Residents looked up to the sky in panic, completely unaware of what had happened.
But the cultivators around Chu Qing couldn’t be more aware of this.
The black mist soon engulfed them as well.
They struggled hard, but the black mist adhered to their skin like sugar syrup, lingering.
What frightened them even more was that they could still clearly feel that the black mist was invading their bodies bit by bit, and the blood in their bodies was continuously flowing out along the black mist.
They wanted to resist, but they were powerless against it. They had no choice but to let strength and flesh and blood slip away from their bodies bit by bit, while they could only lie on the ground and howl helplessly, watching their own bodies gradually wither away, turning skinny and bony, until their consciousness became blurred.
“You devil! You’re going to die!”
The Gold Core realm cultivator mustered the last bit of strength, and slashed at Chu Qing.
Looking at the gloomy and cold blade, Chu Qing showed a look of contempt, standing in place without dodging.
The black mist rushed out from his body, completely covering the Gold Core realm cultivator, and then dissipated to the surroundings after a while, leaving behind a pale skeleton holding a saber.
A gust of wind blew by, and the skeleton immediately scattered with the wind like flour and disappeared without a trace. Only the saber that fell to the ground and let out a crisp sound can prove that he once existed.
In just a moment, there was a pile of mummies lying around Chu Qing.
But because his height is already far beyond ordinary people, those other cultivators he has seen are also of extraordinary status.
Those who are cruel and bloodthirsty do not take pleasure in killing, because no one takes pleasure in trampling bugs to death.
What’s more, they all posses a kind of indifference to life.
They don’t care whether mortals live or die, killing them is just a matter of convenience.
If mortals survived from their hands, they wouldn’t take it too seriously.
But Chu Qing was different.
Chu Qing behaved like the worst nouveau riche who couldn’t wait to show off after gaining power.
He is bloodthirsty because he can truly feel happiness from killing people, even ordinary mortals.
He enjoys the feeling of looking down on all living beings, and he is fascinated by the power to control the life and death of everyone.
In Blood Wing’s perception, this kind of person is in an extremely bad state of mind, the kind that is easily lost in the blind pursuit of power.
They are too utilitarian and too short-sighted.
They gained great strength, but they failed to obtain a pattern that matched their increased strength.
That’s why they can’t wait to show their own greatness to mortals, but they forget that they themselves are just ants in front of higher-level people.
So at this moment, Blood Wing felt that Chu Qing’s path would not come far.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s more in his interest. Maybe he can use some means at some point to take away all of Chu Qing’s strength and body so that he can truly be resurrected.
