CHAPTER 73 Bloody Battles The Qiongqi Heavenly Beasts

A bright light suddenly filled the catacombs, cutting through the pitch-black environment. Qiong Qi's bloody mouth had been continuously spitting out huge fireballs, which illuminated the catacombs with their light.

Just now, Yun Jiu Tang's loud shout had attracted the attention of Qiong Qi. He slowly turned his head, his eyes emitting a dark green light. It was terrifying and ghastly, causing people to shudder. Yun Jiu Tang gripped his black blade tightly, his hands trembling as if he could hear his own heartbeat. His Qiong Qi green eyes stared straight at him, as if he wanted to nail him to the cliff.

He couldn't help but float back to thirteen years ago, and also here, where the eerie eyes of the Qiong Qi beast seemed to pierce through his bones, destroying the last remnants of his confidence in his first expedition to the Great Sea. It shattered him into pieces and made him sink into the bottomless pool of water.

"Young master Yun, be careful, what are you thinking about?" In the distance, Murong Yu stuck his head out and shouted loudly, disregarding the danger. His heart was already in his throat, this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a vast and majestic battle scene.

Yun Jiuchang suddenly turned his head to take a closer look, and when the Qiong Qi Beast opened its gaping maw, a brilliant, venomous flame shot out, forming a huge red fireball in its mouth. Before anyone could react, the burning fireball shot towards them like an arrow that had left the bowstring.

Yun Jiuchang's eyes reflected the fiery light as it neared, filling his entire eyeball.

Ahead, a mass of flames of death drowned out every exit.

Death was slowly approaching.

Fear swept through his entire body.

Facing the sudden mass of flames, Yun Jiu Tang felt nothing but fear from the bottom of his heart. His hands were ice-cold as they gripped the black xuan iron sword tightly, his teeth chattering. Abruptly, he gathered all the strength in his arms and raised the sword with both hands. As he did so, he ferociously slashed out a sword's edge and simultaneously leapt into the air.

Murong Ming looked around and saw Yun Jiu Tang's sword violently slam into the giant fireball. In an instant, there was a loud 'boom' and although the sword's edge cleaved through the fireball, the flames from the exploded fireball quickly engulfed the sword's edge. The dazzling flames were like a shower of fire that illuminated every corner of the catacombs. Everyone's faces were distorted with fear, as if they were about to be devoured by the endless dark blood.

In the middle of the rain of fire, Yun Jiu Tang was in the middle of the air, and the moment he passed by Qiong Qi's head, he slashed his sword, and the thick black darksteel sword slashed out a sharp sword ray in the air, piercing through the falling rain of flames and striking the head of the Qiong Qi Beast.

Yun Jiu Tang's sword beam struck the hard scales on Qiong Qi's head with all his strength. The scales were harder than even the armor that came from the Extreme Deep Water Qilin had on its body. With a "bang" sound, sparks flew out from the scales, and Qiong Qi's head seemed to have suffered a heavy blow as his upper body slightly trembled. Yun Jiuchang took advantage of the momentum to fly over and land on the cliff next to Shen Jingyang.

"Young Master Yun, good job!" A Qiong Ji is only this much! " Hiding behind the rock, Murong Dawn gave a loud cheer for Yun Jiuchang's brilliant performance.

Li Zongyin, who was on the path, was wounded by the falling stones. He recovered a little bit of his inner strength, and together with Gu Xueluo and Wang Qingchuan, he waited for the opportunity to attack.

The Qiong Qi was furious after being hit on the head by Yun Jiuchang. He let out a series of low roars, slowly twisting his huge body, his dark green eyes once again shot out a furious beam. Shen Jingyang stared at Qiong Qi and said to Yun Jiu Tang, "This Qiong Qi is much stronger than my first fight thirteen years ago, and its might is also even more astonishing …"

The Qiong Qi slowly turned his head and looked around. His gaze once again focused on Yun Jiu Tang and Shen Ying Yang, as if he didn't place any importance on Gu Xue Luo, Wang Qing Chuan, or Li Zongyin.

Both sides looked at each other. This short period of silence made the atmosphere even more eerie and terrifying. Suddenly, just as everyone relaxed a little, Qiong Qi once again launched a monstrous attack. His huge tail, which was hidden deep within the lake, swung out of the water, wrapping around Gu Xue Luo and the other two and attacking them from all directions. The ripples created by his attack formed a huge wall of water that was impervious to the wind.

Seeing this dangerous situation, Yun Jiu Tang shouted, "Be careful, run!" Before he could finish his sentence, an even more dangerous and deadly attack had already reached the two of them.

The Qiong Qi Beast once again opened its bloody mouth. "…" A few thunderous cries shook the gravel off the cliff. The next moment, dozens of cold lights flew out from his mouth. It seemed like they were even more powerful and faster than the flame.

In the gloomy catacombs, a cold glow was revealed, like the eyes of a wolf in the dark, staring at its prey that was waiting to be slaughtered. The vision before both of them went black. They were still in a state of shock as they faced the murderous cold light of the needle. The black sword in Yun Jiuchang's hand interweaved with the cold light from the sword. The needles were not ordinary hidden weapons. After Qiong Qi shot them out, they became extremely powerful. Yun Jiuchang used the black steel sword to block them and actually forced the sword to swing backwards.

After several "dang dang" sounds, Yun Jiuchang hurriedly used his palms to protect the trembling blade.

At the same time, a dozen or so needles of cold light shot out. Shen Jingyang leaped up and somersaulted several times in the air. With a "peng peng" sound, the needles of cold light nailed the cliff.

The two of them looked at each other with lingering fear. Before the two of them could catch their breath, Qiong Qi's two huge claws had already come crashing down from the sky. What awaited them was a decisive battle with infinite power.

Yun Jiu Tang's eyes were already pitch black, they were as black as ink. This huge web of claws gave people a sense of deep and primal fear.

On the other hand, the water wall created by the Qiong Qi's tail charged majestically towards Gu Xueluo and the other two. The heavy whistling sound and the Qiong Qi's roar seemed to transform into an insurmountable wall of death, with Yin and Yang separated by the walls of death.

Just as the Wall of Death was about to close in, Gu Xueluo, Wang Qingchuan, and Li Zongyin released their full strength. Three pairs of palms struck outwards, and suddenly formed an invisible force. The moment the two forces collided, the world seemed to explode. The two forces that collided seemed to want to destroy everything, causing the entire catacombs to tremble. Even the rock where Murong Dawn and Yu Yin were hiding slightly shook.

Although the water wall was destroyed, the Qiong Qi's tail was like a huge steel whip, swinging over like a lightning bolt. Li Zongyin wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of scene. Back in the days when they were at the Deep Sea Slaughtering Beast Association, the Water Qilin's dragon whiskers were the same as well, flying like a thick steel whip.

Li Zongyin endured the pain in his chest and shouted at Gu Xueluo and Wang Qingchuan, "Quick, quickly dodge Qiong Qi's tail …"

Sure enough, Li Zongyin's warning worked. The three of them flew up and dodged the Qiong Qi tail's attack. But the three of them were still shaken, and the thick "steel whip" once again whirled over. Gu Xueluo spread open her hands, and with a "weng" sound, profound light shot out. She held the conjured Heavenly Thunder Zither in her hands, and quickly struck the zither with one hand while playing the zither with the other.

Suddenly, a strange sound of a zither rang out from the Heavenly Thunder Zither. It emitted a sonic boom, as if it was a colorful rainbow. The zither music of the heavenly thunder resolutely struck out, as if it was emitting a soft light blue light, illuminating Gu Xueluo's quiet and beautiful face.

"So this is the Heavenly Thunder Zither's sound. Today is truly an eye-opener." His eyes opened wide as he watched the intense battle. He completely forgot about the danger, as if he wasn't willing to let go of any of the exciting scenes.

The Heaven Thunder Zither was indeed worthy of its reputation. Although the Qiong Qi's "steel whip" was extremely powerful, it was not able to hurt three people even a little under the attack of the Heaven Thunder Zither. Just when Li Zongyin and Wang Qingchuan thought they could relax, Qiong Qi suddenly pulled back his "steel whip" and flew into the air, creating a loud sound as he struck down from the sky.

"Steel whip!" The dazzling white light was like a flame floating in the darkness, illuminating the darkness while bringing disaster upon people. The steel whip swooped down with a baleful aura. The Heavenly Thunder Zither was caught off guard. Even Wang Qingchuan's Yin Gou and Li Zongyin's sharp sword were unable to defend against it.

"Clang clang!"

Wang Qingchuan and Li Zongyin were sent flying several meters away, rolling on the ground and spitting out blood. Yu Yin, who was hiding behind the rock, saw the two of them heavily injured and immediately rushed out, not caring about her safety. She desperately dragged the two of them towards the back of the rock.

Without the three of them to resist together, coupled with the fact that they were too close to the Qiong Qi tail, the Heavenly Thunder Zither could not unleash any of its power at the moment. All it could do was fight with them.

At this moment, Murong Ming was hiding behind a rock. He took out a square letter from his chest pocket, watching the fight between Qiong Qi and the crowd while quickly writing on the letter.

Yu Yin was puzzled. "What are you doing, fighting a great war? Why aren't you cheering for them?"

He muttered, "What do you know? If I don't remember today's extremely exciting scene, how can it be considered a plot in my strange novel in the future? This is absolutely true."

On the other hand, Yun Jiuchang and Shen Jingyang had faced even more deadly attacks after knocking out the cold, deadly needle from Qiong Qi's mouth. The Qiong Qi raised his two enormous claws, and with a roar that sounded like a dragon's roar, the entire catacombs began to shake once more. The sharp claws were like an inseparable net that crazily enveloped the area. Deep within the net, a ferocious beast covered in raging flames roared as it looked down on everyone like weak ants.

Yun Jiuchang's eyes were filled with red flames as his sharp claws slashed through the air like a butcher's blade. An ominous foreboding flashed through his mind. If his black xuan iron sword could only block one claw, then how could Shen Jingyang block the other?

In the nick of time, Shen Yushi let out a loud roar. His body slightly bent, his palms facing upwards, blue veins popping out all over his body as he gathered his internal energy and finally pulled up the hidden Dark Bow that was hidden on his back.

So it was the Dark Hidden Bow! This was the first time Murong Ming had witnessed the elegance of this ancient Divine Weapon, and he was completely amazed.

So it was the Dark Hidden Bow! A gratified smile appeared on Yun Jiuchang's face. The two of them were finally able to stand shoulder to shoulder against the ferocious beasts.

The Qiong Qi's two claws had already hacked down. At this critical moment, a long roar suddenly sounded out from within the catacombs. It was like the roar of a tiger or the cry of a deer, resounding throughout the vast ocean. On the cliff, Yun Jiutang and Shen Jingyang struck together. Two rays of dazzling light shot through the sky like a rainbow, arcing through the catacombs. They were like lightning bolts or thunderclaps, forcefully blocking Qiong Qi's sharp claws in the air.

The Qiong Qi had already tilted his body, and in his fury, the surface of the lake was constantly swirling. Suddenly, a column of water shot up, and Qiong Qi's entire body jumped out of the lake. Its huge body instantly broke through the cliff of the catacombs. With a "boom", the catacombs collapsed, as if a tall building had just collapsed.

Strong murderous intent instantly gushed out of Qiong Qi's body. Yun Jiutang and Shen Jingyang were wrapped around him as they were sent flying out of the underground cave along with Qiong Qi's huge body. They then leapt onto the snowy plains in the Great Sea. The instant he flew out, Yun Jiu Tang quickly searched for Gu Xue Luo. When he saw Gu Xue Bei vomit blood from her wound and the other four crawling along the tunnel, he felt a sliver of relief in his heart. He secretly rejoiced that Gu Xue Luo was injured, but still managed to dodge the Qiong Qi's fierce attack. The moment his gaze passed by, he met Wang Qingchuan's eyes. However, he saw a melancholy and melancholy look that Wang Qingchuan had never seen before, staring at him with a gaze that was as cold as ice and seemed to be filled with love.

Suddenly, they moved from the Dark Underground Cave to the snowy plains, and the two of them felt a wave of dizziness pass through their eyes. At this moment, the sky was filled with falling snowflakes. The sky was freezing and the cold was chilling to the bones.

The two of them slowly came to their senses, but they were so shocked that it was as if they had met a ghost. The beast started to slowly mutate. Starting from its head and claws, it started to break out from its body bit by bit like a silkworm breaking out from its cocoon. Shaoqing had already been divided into two.

Suddenly, the two no longer dared to believe their eyes.

The Qiongqi Manticore, which had originally been isolated and reclusive, now strangely split into two, splitting into two divine beasts.

They snuggled together, entwined with each other, like a pair of inseparable whole.

Apparently, the two of them were shocked, especially Shen Jingyang. It had been thirteen years since they last met, and the change of the Qiong Qi Beast was unimaginable.

Yun Jiu Tang's mind flashed through the records of the 'Ancient Sorcery Record'. He mentioned that after thousands of years of death, Qiong Qi's mind would slowly mutate and evolve into a hermaphrodite to satisfy the needs of the individual's physiology and reproduction.

The Qiong Qi who had burst out of his body immediately became a female and a male divine beast. Even though he looked slightly smaller than his original body, he seemed even more ferocious. They stared unwaveringly at Yun Jiuchang and Shen Jingyang, traces of helplessness and worry appearing in their vicious and cruel eyes.

Snow and wind howled, and the world was a sea of gloom. Suddenly, the two Qiongqi experts looked up at the sky and let out another howl … Aoo … With a roar, the violent sound swept up the snow that was dancing in the air and rushed towards the two of them.

Using the Dark Hidden Bow as a divine weapon and his hands as a bow, it was as if all the power in the world was focused on the bowstring. If Ruoyu was hidden, she would definitely be fixed on her gaze.

Yun Jiuchang opened up his palm, using his energy to condense the black xuan iron sword, and slowly raised it up into the air. At this moment, he was like a swimming dragon as he brushed aside the snow on the ground with his palms, constantly changing the form of his palms. It was as though thousands of palms were focused on his head, waiting for the right moment to strike.

"Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Scripture?"

Shen Jingyang's eyes were filled with disbelief, surprise, and emotion. That's right, the move he used was the Sky, Earth, Black Yellow Scripture! Then came a faint feeling of joy. Shen Jingyang's confidence was immediately boosted. This way, he would be able to match her on equal footing.

"Boom!"

The male Qiong Qi was the first to launch an attack, attacking Yun Jiu Tang. A piercing sound rang out as the overwhelming ice shards rushed over from all directions. There was nowhere to retreat to, nowhere to dodge. Yun Jiuchang's expression was grave as he roared. He opened his palms wide and closed them, releasing dozens of sharp palm shadows that shot towards the ice shards. At the same time, a yellow light sprang up around him, enveloping him in a magical halo.

"Crack! Crack!" With countless crisp shattering sounds, the icicle shattered into fine powder that filled the sky.

At this time, the other Qiong Qi also flew into a rage. Throwing Shen Jingyang aside, he charged towards Yun Jiuchang without any hesitation.
