Under the afterglow, the figure of the young man gave Fire Raven a jolt in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that he was an experienced scavenger, if it were a new person, even though his cultivation level surpassed that of the other person at this moment, he would still be shaken by his spirit.
Even he had some fluctuations in his heart, but they were soon suppressed by his desperate ferocity and wounded anger, with a strong murderous intent showing in his eyes.
"Little Wolf cub, I'll pull out your teeth one by one and take them as my spoils."
As the fire raven spoke in a low voice, it tore off its clothes, revealing its emaciated upper body.
He didn't pay attention to the missing ear and the wound on his chest. As his face turned red with both hands, a fireball even larger than before suddenly appeared.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed and his body swayed suddenly, moving.
"Disperse!" The fire raven let out a low growl. Instantly, the huge fireball in its hand separated and transformed, heading straight for Xu Qing.
The rumbling sound reverberated in an instant. The ground was covered with flames. In the midst of the burning, Xu Qing's figure shot out again, still with two consecutive punches, breaking down the barrier.
Although he himself would inevitably be forced back by the impact, suffer more injuries, and be continuously burned by the high temperature of the flames, his speed did not decrease in the slightest, and his killing potential did not decline in the slightest.
In this way, with such a fighting strategy that was not afraid of his own injuries, he and the Fire Raven actually engaged in a tense battle in this jungle.
The Vietnam War became more and more intense.
Xu Qing was indeed no match for the Fire Raven.
Whether it's the psychic barrier or the fireball, both are very unfavorable to him. The former makes it very difficult for him to kill at close range, while the latter poses a great threat to him.
But Xu Qing's recovery ability is astonishing, which enables him to recover quickly after being injured without affecting his combat power.
His physical strength is just as abundant. Although the long-term physical pain can cause mental torture, having grown up in the slums, he has long developed an extraordinary endurance.
The most important thing is... The rich and heterogeneous spiritual energy contained had no effect on Xu Qing, but for the Fire Raven, it was completely different.
The injury to his ear was fine, but the injury to his chest was getting worse and worse. The most crucial thing was his psychic power...
Even if one's cultivation level is condensed, they still cannot bear such consumption and can only passively absorb spiritual energy to replenish it.
The intense battle and the pressure Xu Qing brought him left him no time to ease. As a result, the heterogeneity within him kept rising and accumulating more and more.
Very soon, the fire raven changed from its initial anger to a bit nervous, and eventually anxiety even emerged in its expression.
He had already sensed his own mistake and also noticed that there was something wrong with the young man before him!
Even if they had changed three layers, even if it wasn't the third layer but the same as him, under the bombardment of such a fireball, they would definitely not have been able to withstand it until now. They should have turned into mummies long ago.
He asked himself that even he himself couldn't do this.
But this young man before me seemed to have more and more serious injuries, yet from beginning to end, his speed and strength did not decrease in the slightest.
This made the unease in the Fire Raven's heart even stronger.
The continuous increase of foreign substances within the body, approaching the brink of alienation, has made the fire raven even more rapid in breathing.
"Fire Raven, you good-for-nothing! Finish the battle quickly!!"
In the distance, the Blood Shadow captain, who was fighting against the Thunder Team, had no choice but to focus on this place. At this moment, seeing this scene, a roar came.
He was willing to help, but the Thunder team suddenly erupted and tried to stop him, leaving him unable to extricate himself. At this moment, he could only be anxious.
The Lei team had long realized that Xu Qing's strategy was to drag the Fire Raven to a state of alienation.
Although he didn't know why the other person was confident or why they could perform as usual in the midst of pain, everyone had their own secrets. Captain Lei understood this, and he did the same.
So he had no intention of exploring. All he could do was to prevent the Blood Shadow captain before him from coming to his aid.
The battle is still ongoing.
Three more fireballs were fired. The firecrow, who was still helpless against Xu Qing, was cursed by his captain again. The anxiety in his heart completely erupted, turning into a frenzy.
He suddenly raised his right hand and slapped it directly against his chest, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. Before it could fall, his left hand waved rapidly and caught some.
The sound of a spell came from the mouth, and the blood in the hand turned black rapidly.
Xu Qing's eyes contracted, sensing an even stronger crisis. With a flash of his body, he rushed out, about to interrupt the other person's casting of the spell.
But this time, the Fire Raven's magic spread extremely fast. At the moment Xu Qing's body moved, the Fire Raven suddenly raised its head, its expression distorted, its eyes filled with ferocity, and waved its right hand fiercely.
Immediately, the black blood in his hand swelled into a blood cell the size of a skull.
Inside, bubbles seemed to be boiling, carrying astonishing power and roaring towards Xu Qing.
"Die to me!" The fire crows roared in a fierce and low voice.
Perhaps it was because this time the magic was too exhausting, coupled with the continuous expansion of the foreign substances within his body, that his legs were trembling weakly at this moment.
Xu Qing's eyes suddenly became filled with a murderous intent. Just like Captain Lei's judgment, he was indeed preparing to drag the other party astray, but there were also differences.
That is, Xu Qing never gave up the idea of killing him in advance during this process.
Although his dagger and iron stick were no longer in his hands, he had been looking for a chance to win the game.
This opportunity emerged at this moment, along with the weakness of the fire raven.
Almost at the moment when the black blood cells roared towards him, Xu Qing's forward body suddenly sped up.
It didn't rush straight towards the fire raven, but slightly deviated from its direction and reached the location of the corpse of the barbarian ghost.
Its corpse was full of traces of being burned under the previous fireball explosion of the fire raven. But here, apart from the corpse, there were also... The weapon of the barbarian ghost!
A mace, broken into two pieces of fine iron shields of different sizes.
Xu Qing's target was precisely that huge shield.
Its figure drew near in an instant, and it suddenly grabbed the heavy iron shield. As its thin body was covered by the shield, it also rushed out in an instant, heading straight for the fire raven behind the black blood ball.
The rumbling reverberated. The blood cells of the fire crows came into contact with Xu Qing here and hit the shield, transforming into countless black blood and shooting fiercely.
That fine iron shield couldn't withstand an instant collapse either, but it still shouldered most of the power.
This made Xu Qing, who followed him, although he was also hit by some black blood, it was not fatal. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and did not stop for a moment, turning into a remnant mark that approached the fire raven like an arrow.
Fire Crow's eyes showed a sneer and he didn't dodge. As he made a gesture with both hands, black blood suddenly spread out behind Xu Qing and was rapidly rising drop by drop from the ground. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before it all rose into the air and turned into blood arrows, shooting fiercely.
All of this left Xu Qing with no place to retreat, but he had no intention of doing so in the first place.
As he drew near, he clenched his left fist, but it was his right hand that struck, and a punch landed.
Boom!
Cracks appeared in the psychic barrier outside the Fire Raven's body, and at this moment, blood was splattering in Xu Qing's right fist, mixed with some scaly flesh and blood.
Before the Fire Raven could see clearly, Xu Qing's eyes turned red and he threw a second punch again.
With a bang, the barrier collapsed four times. A huge impact spread out from within, pushing Xu Qing's body and making him as unable to get any closer as before, about to be pushed away by that impact.
The ridicule in the fire raven's eyes grew even stronger, but at this very moment!
Xu Qing's body seemed to have gained some extra strength out of nowhere.
In the impact of this barrier Four, I was not forced back as I was before.
Instead, he charged forward with all his might, shouldered the impact, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the bloody spot on the Fire Raven's chest that had been pierced by the iron stick with great force.
It seemed that the extra strength only gave Xu Qing the power to grasp. Although he managed to open the wound of the fire Raven, he was unable to deal it a fatal blow. At this moment, he could only retreat rapidly.
The fire raven also changed its expression and staggered back.
Realizing that Xu Qing's grab didn't pose a significant threat to him, he grinned maliciously and was just about to cast a spell to shoot the black blood.
But in the next instant, his expression changed again and he suddenly lowered his head.
In the bloody and mangled area of his chest, there... There were indeed some broken tooth fragments and scaly meat paste.
At the same time, at the wound site, the flesh and blood were corroding, and waves of toxic blood gushed out from within. Wherever it passed, the skin rotted rapidly.
At this moment, an unbearable excruciating pain erupted strongly, causing the fire raven to let out a shrill scream and its expression showed an unprecedented terror.
As he kept retreating, he saw Xu Qing squatting in the distance. In the outstretched palm of his right hand, a lot of the same meat paste and broken teeth were flung out.
If these minced meat and broken teeth can be pieced together, it will form the shape of a snake's head.
It was precisely the highly venomous snake head that Xu Qing used to handle the corpse.
At this moment, his left hand trembled slightly and slowly stretched out. As pieces of amber fell, the ghost-faced scorpion tail that had deeply pierced his palm was revealed!
The former made his palm contain highly toxic poison, while the latter enabled him to have the strength to strike under the impact of the barrier!
"You..." The fire raven trembled, unable to utter a word in its wailing, let alone cast spells.
His eyes showed a strong fear of death. He struggled to wipe away the poisonous blood from his body, but a large amount of it overflowed, causing his physical strength and vitality to drain away at a rapid pace.
Xu Qing took a deep breath. The recovery of the purple crystal in the battle on Pangshan made him realize that he could defuse poisons.
The fact that the right hand contaminated with snake venom has not been corroded at present says it all.
This is the ultimate blow he has prepared for the Fire Raven.
At this moment, he stood up and headed straight for the fire raven.
Seeing Xu Qing's arrival, the terror in the Fire crow's eyes turned into despair. It struggled backward and let out a painful wailing from its mouth.
"Captain, save me!!"
This tragic scene made the Blood Shadow captain, who was fighting against the Thunder Team, open his eyes wide and determined to save him. However, the obstruction formed by the Thunder Team's intervention made it extremely difficult for him to get through.
One could only watch helplessly as Xu Qing's figure rapidly approached the Fire Raven.
During this approach, the injuries to the Fire Raven's body and the collapse of his mental state caused a rich accumulation of heterogeneity within him, which he could no longer suppress.
Before Xu Qing could get completely close, his body suddenly stiffed in despair, and the heterogeneity spread throughout his body. With a bang... Turn into a mist of blood.
Some people are alienated, leaving behind bluish-black corpses, while others burst into blood mists.
Xu Qing paused in his steps, looking at the place where the fire crows had turned into blood mist. He turned his head and coldly looked at the Blood Shadow captain who was fighting against the Thunder Team.
At this moment, the sun was setting, but the dusk in the sky was different from before. There was no darkness, and the entire sky was tinged with a strange red.
Under this red veil, Xu Qing's figure was also depicted. Standing there, covered in scars, his cold and sharp gaze seemed to exude an indescribable oppression.
This oppression caused even the Blood Shadow Captain, whose cultivation level surpassed his, to be strongly shaken in his mind.
The death of the Fire Raven was truly too tragic, which had a huge impact on Captain Blood Shadow's heart.
The prolonged battle with the Thunder Team, coupled with Xu Qing's evil streak, made Captain Blood Shadow extremely uneasy. At this moment, his gaze flashed. The moment Xu Qing saw him, he punched the Thunder Team away and without hesitation, his body rapidly retreated.
He doesn't want to fight anymore.
Captain Lei had intended to chase after him, but when he looked up and saw the strange red in the sky, his expression suddenly changed, his mood seemed to fluctuate, blood spurted out, his body became even more bluish-black, and he was on the verge of collapse.
Xu Qing walked over quickly and grabbed Captain Lei with one hand.
Amid the panting of Captain Lei, Xu Qing placed him under a nearby tree and looked up at Captain Blood Shadow speeding through the jungle in the distance, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Don't go after him alone. After the Blood Shadow Group was wiped out, he's no longer a significant figure. Especially this red in the sky, I think I've seen it before..."
Captain Lei grabbed Xu Qing at once and stared fixedly at the sky.
He is a hidden danger. Xu Qing spoke slowly.
He didn't like any hidden dangers. And in this restricted jungle, Xu Qing felt confident that he could drag down the Blood Shadow captain as if he had killed the Fire Raven. But the words of the Thunder Team made him instinctively raise his head and look up at the sky.
Just at this moment...
A song, as soft as a sigh, wafted through the jungle.
All the strange beasts' roars in the restricted jungle vanished in an instant.
In the silent jungle, the song became clearer and clearer.
It seemed as if a woman was lamenting the departure of her husband. With the reverberation, there were also waves of pale red mist emerging from the position where the Blood Shadow Captain was galloping in the distance.
It wraps up everything around and spreads out.
Xu Qing's body gave a sudden jolt. Thunder Captain, who was sitting against a big tree beside him, also trembled in an instant. Both of them looked towards the place where the singing came from in an instant.
Only the former is extremely vigilant, while the latter... There was a hint of confusion in my eyes.
That song kept wafting and falling into Xu Qing's ears, causing an indescribable chill to spread throughout his body, as if he were in the icy and bloody rain of the once ruined city.
Even though he has now reached the third level of body refinement, he still can't bear it. His teeth are about to start trembling and his body has lost the ability to move.
Xu Qing's mind was in a turmoil, and involuntarily, the taboos in the restricted area that the Cross had mentioned when entering it emerged in his mind.
And where they were looking, Captain Blood Shadow's body also paused, and his body trembled obviously.
It seemed as if something invisible was approaching him, making him lose the strength to escape.
Under Xu Qing's own eyes, wisps of white mist flew out of the seven orifices of the trembling blood Shadow captain and merged into the blood mist that was spreading over.
During this process, Captain Blood Shadow's body rapidly decayed and withered until it turned into a mummified corpse, shattered into dust, leaving nothing behind.
The mist covered the area where he was and spread towards Xu Qing and Captain Lei.
As the mist drew nearer, Xu Qing's body trembled. Finally, he saw the source that led to the death of the Blood Shadow Captain. That was... A pair of bright red women's boots, very tattered.
This is... Xu Qing was breathing rapidly and his eyes were wide open. He saw the pair of boots appear in front of the mist in the distance, moving on the soil by themselves, step by step towards them.
The boots are empty... Only the mournful song is getting closer and closer.
It was as if there was a woman whose body was invisible, wearing these red boots, singing and walking along.
The singing grew clearer and clearer. The blood-red boots were stepping on the dirt, and the direction was precisely Xu Qing.
This strange scene made Xu Qing's eyes contract strongly, and he wanted to move his body, but he couldn't.
It seemed as if the cold had frozen everything about him, causing his teeth to cluck. He watched helplessly as those blood-red boots, step by step, walked half a zhang away from him...
The threat of death enveloped all of Xu Qing's thoughts at this moment. He wanted to retreat, but was powerless. Only in the large blood vessels that appeared in his eyes could his intense struggle at this moment be revealed.
And those blood-red shoes were just about to take another step towards him, but just then... A trembling voice came from Xu Qing's side. It was Captain Lei.
"Peach Red... Is that you..." The voice was hoarse, with a quiver and a hint of uncertainty.
The moment this sentence appeared, the strange singing came to an abrupt halt.
The boots that had been lifted up from the side paused slightly and gradually changed direction, as if the woman standing there had now turned around and looked at Captain Lei.
Seeing this scene, Captain Lei's body trembled obviously, his breathing was more rapid than ever before, and his exhausted body now burst forth with strength. His eyes shone with an unprecedented light, and he stared intently at the emptiness on those boots.
It seemed that in his eyes, he could see that there was a woman who was as important to him as his own life, standing there.
He and I are separated by the void, by the world, by Yin and Yang, looking at each other with our eyes.
The strong team, like thunder, had tears streaming down their eyes uncontrollably at this moment.
"Have you... come back...?" His body trembled as he raised his hand, as if trying to grasp something. The pair of red boots also slowly lifted and walked up to Captain Lei, slightly bending.
It was as if the invisible woman had gently crouched down in front of Captain Lei, allowing his trembling hand to touch her face.
But Captain Lei's hand streaked through the void, touching nothing. It fell in vain, tears... more
