Outside of Time [Webnovel]

270 Slipping Away

However, they were some distance away and couldn’t arrive in time.

At this critical moment, the Dao Child let out a low roar and took out that jade coffin again. The coffin opened; a sea of light spread from it and a finger stretched out.

As soon as this finger appeared, it directly pointed in front of Xu Qing.

An intense sense of danger rose in Xu Qing’s mind. He retreated immediately without any hesitation. The Sea Corpse Race’s Dao Child finally caught his breath and quickly retreated, trying to distance himself.

!!

However, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor, who had suffered consecutively, was anxious at this moment. He saw that the shadow had made many contributions in this incident. This gave him a strong sense of urgency. He felt that if this continued, he would definitely be discarded.

His eyes were bloodshot. He roared and didn’t hesitate to sacrifice several lightning runes in exchange for extreme speed. His speed soared and he instantly pierced through the arm of the panicked Dao Child.

Blood gushed out and the Dao Child’s expression changed drastically. As for the Diamond Sect’s ancestor, he quickly retreated and returned excitedly.

From afar, the two people on the battlefield were retreating. However, compared to the sorry state of the Dao Child, Xu Qing looked to be in a much better state.

However, he wasn’t arrogant. He was very clear that Miao Chen’s combat strength was definitely not just these. It was just that he had snatched the initiative; his storm-like attacks, the strangeness of the shadow, and the strength of the body refined by Golden Crow Refines All Life caused Miao Chen to fall into danger almost instantly.

Although it was a pity that he couldn’t kill the other party, Xu Qing understood that he couldn’t stay anymore.

As he retreated, his speed erupted as he sped into the distance. The shadow and the black iron stick also got close and fled together.

As for the sea corpse cultivators who had rushed over from the surroundings, more than half of them stayed with the Dao Child. The remaining portion was about to chase after Xu Qing but after taking a few steps, they spat out blood as the poison that Xu Qing had scattered took effect.

Dao Child Miao Chen, who was also poisoned, was protected by the Sea Corpse Race cultivators. He angrily pushed away the surrounding sea corpse cultivators. His eyes were filled with killing intent and the grievance he felt reached the extreme.

When he was alive, he was a heaven’s chosen of the Spirit Jade Race. He sensed 120 magic apertures and transformed into a sea corpse after he died in an accident. He was also valued by the Sea Corpse Race and was listed in King’s Sequence. Under their full nurturing, he finally stepped into the four fires realm.

It could be said that regardless of whether it was the Spirit Jade or the Sea Corpse Race, he had never suffered such humiliation other than the time he died. The right side of his face was disfigured and his right ear had melted. This caused him, who cared a lot about the appearance, to be seething with madness and anger.

“I’m going to kill you!” The Dao Child touched the right side of his face. The fires in his body burned violently as he gave chase.

Xu Qing, who was in the distance, turned his head and narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to attack again, his expression changed.

In the distant sky, three energy fluctuations erupted into the sky. The strength of these auras surpassed the Foundation Building realm. They were Golden Core experts of the Sea Corpse Race. There were a total of three of them who were rushing over from the horizon.

Their energy fluctuations caused the weather itself to change. It was like the anger of the heavens, wanting to punish all living beings.

Xu Qing took a deep breath. The sense of danger spread out from every inch of his flesh. He didn’t stop at all and circulated his cultivation base fully. He fled even faster and ran into the distance.

At the same time, there was also an explosion behind him and a faint roar echoed through the area.

“Thief, I don’t believe that a mere invisibility technique of yours can escape the search of my Sea Corpse Race!!”

Xu Qing was familiar with this furious roar. It was other than the Golden Core boy who had chased after the captain earlier. From his words, it was obvious that the captain had actually escaped from his pursuit.

This caused Xu Qing to have more guesses about the captain’s identity and cultivation base. At the same time, he became even more anxious. He was very clear that the captain was treated as the chief culprit and had attracted the attention of countless people. Once the captain wasn’t found, he would be the target of all this attention.

Xu Qing looked at the black iron stick.

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor in the black iron stick didn’t hesitate at all. At the next instant, another seven to eight lightning runes on the iron stick exploded in exchange for an even faster speed. He dragged Xu Qing and rushed forward with all his might.

With the help of the Diamond Sect’s ancestor, Xu Qing escaped much faster. In an instant, he crossed a thousand feet and directly stepped out of the edge of the forbidden area to the outside world.

The Golden Core boy behind him roared angrily. When the divine senses of the Golden Core experts swept in all directions with terrifying fluctuations, Xu Qing didn’t hesitate at all to activate the disorder teleportation talisman.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing’s figure blurred. At the next moment, a cold snort rang out from the distant sky.

It was a three-headed and six-armed sea corpse. His Golden Core energy fluctuation was extremely powerful, surpassing that of the Golden Core boy.

From such a far distance, he pointed at Xu Qing.

“Restrict!”

As soon as he spoke, the space around Xu Qing was sealed. However, the disorder teleportation talisman was an extremely powerful item. It ignored the restriction of the Golden Core and was still operating. In fact, the teleportation fluctuations had already formed and it was about to teleport Xu Qing away.

“Hmm?” The eyes of the Golden Core sea corpse cultivator in the distant sky narrowed. He quickly took out a bead and crushed it!

“Break!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the disorder teleportation talisman in Xu Qing’s hand couldn’t withstand it anymore. The bead seemed to have linked with the talisman; when it broke, the teleportation talisman was also destroyed. Xu Qing was enveloped by the divine ability from the Golden Core sea corpse cultivator.

This force contained the intent to destroy everything, causing the flesh in Xu Qing’s body to feel like they were about to tear apart and wither.

Xu Qing’s eyes turned bloodshot as he took out another disorder teleportation talisman and activated it.

He had a total of three disorder teleportation talismans. He had used one of them on the dragon carriage and one of them had been broken earlier. Now, this was the last one.

At the same time, his magic ship manifested to block the force. At the next instant, his magic ship collapsed and shattered into pieces. However, the trace of Blinding flesh inside still blocked the will of extermination, causing the attack that was supposed to kill him to turn into a serious injury.

Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood as the bones in his body shattered. The life fires in his body were instantly extinguished and his entire body withered like it was rotting. He was also directly thrown up by this huge force. Many parts of his body collapsed and shattered. His soul was unstable as well.

However, with this obstruction, his last disorder teleportation talisman was also exchanged for an opportunity to teleport. Although the Golden Core cultivator who was rapidly approaching attacked again, Xu Qing’s disorder teleportation talisman was given to him by the Deputy Peak Lord of the Seventh Peak. It was an item refined by a Nascent Soul cultivator and had its own extraordinary points.

At that moment, when he used it twice in a row and his figure was covered in blood, the teleportation power erupted explosively and Xu Qing’s body instantly disappeared!

Almost at the instant he disappeared, the Golden Core expert descended and landed at the place where Xu Qing had disappeared, causing a deep pit to appear on the ground. The surrounding area shook intensely.

“Two teleportation talismans refined by a Nascent Soul cultivator. This person’s identity is definitely extraordinary. However, he has been hit by my Spirit Nether Curse, and with his cultivation base, he will definitely die in three days at most!” The expression of the Golden Core expert was ugly. He turned and headed straight for the forbidden area.

While the Sea Corpse Race searched crazily in the vicinity, a slight distortion appeared in the empty space in the distance.

That distorted place looked like there was nothing there, but in reality, the person hiding inside was other than the captain.

His entire body was covered in injuries and one of his arms was already crippled. There was also a huge wound at his waist that was about to split him into two, causing his aura to be extremely weak.

He was holding a rainbow-colored shell in his remaining hand. The rainbow light emitted by the shell had a miraculous concealment effect, causing his existence and aura to disappear without a trace.

This was also the captain’s way to escape the pursuit of the Golden Core cultivators. However, at this moment, he was a little dumbfounded.

He had watched helplessly as Xu Qing crushed the disorder teleportation talisman and left. Originally, he wanted to come over and greet him but the scene he saw caused his mind to tremble.

“Gone? Gone? Teleported away? I…”

The captain suddenly wailed inwardly. He felt that this matter had become a little strange. He had only taken a bite, but why did the statue’s nose explode?

In reality, even now, he still felt that this matter was unbelievable. It wasn’t that he hadn’t suspected Xu Qing, but it just so happened that the nose exploded right after he took the bite, causing him to feel this was possibly related to him.

“The old man didn’t say that it would be like this. Back then, he didn’t do such a big thing…” The captain let out a long sigh. As he frowned and carefully fled, pride rose in his heart.

“However, this matter can also indirectly mean that I’m better than the old man. This… was exciting!”

The captain took a deep breath and felt smug. Rumbling sounds filled the sky and the auras of Golden Core cultivators erupted. Even energy fluctuations from Nascent Soul cultivators appeared.

This caused the captain to instantly lower his head. He lay on the ground and moved bit by bit. On one hand, he had to hide. On the other hand, he was also afraid that his movements would be too big and he would really split in two…

“At worst, I’ll leave half of my body behind…”

Three days passed.

As this matter fermented, the entire Sea Corpse Race was completely enraged and searched crazily in all directions. To the Sea Corpse Race, this matter was extremely humiliating.

This was because the scene that the Golden Core boy was most worried about had happened.

Even after three days had passed, the nose of the Seventh Ancestral Corpse Statue still didn’t recover.

At that moment, the Golden Core boy was standing in front of the Seventh Ancestral Corpse Statue with his head lowered. Beside him stood a middle-aged cultivator.

This middle-aged cultivator wasn’t a human. He had two wings on his back and his aura was restrained. However, as he stood there, the Golden Core boy at the side shook incomparably.

“Marquis Anzuo, I…”

“Ying Ling, the king is furious.” The middle-aged cultivator lifted his head and stared at the statue that looked extremely odd due to not having the nose. He also stared at the actions of the few sea corpse cultivators who were probing and trying to repair it.

The Golden Core boy’s body trembled even more intensely.

Not long later, the sea corpse cultivators at the nose of the statue arrived in front of Marquis Anzuo with grievance and helplessness and respectfully spoke.

“Marquis, the destruction is very strange. We are unable to repair it, maybe there is hope if we can get back the two missing pieces.”

Marquis Anzuo fell silent. After a long time, he spoke softly.

“What you mean is that one of the holy objects of our Sea Corpse Race, this Seventh Ancestral Corpse Statue will have to show its noseless appearance in front of all our clansmen from now on, is that right?”
