Outside of Time

At the moment when the terrifying aura erupted, the isolated space rippled endlessly, the lake water stirred up, nothingness twisted, and the rain trembled.

Clouds and mist appear on the sky of this space, rapidly turning into whirlpools, rumbling and rotating, connected with the fog on the lake, as if connecting the sky and the earth, forming a tornado.

Shocking, coercion enveloped all directions, and rain poured in all directions.

The black runes floating in front of the fog were constantly shaking under the tornado and the terrifying atmosphere, and cracks appeared that could not heal themselves.

Dark blood flows.

There are also cracks forming on the talisman paper that turned into a long street.

The churning force that seemed to come from the mist emitted a shocking power that exceeded the scope of the two talismans, making it appear unbearable.

Inside the talisman paper, a vague face appeared at this moment, staring at the mist where Xu Qing was. Although the face could not see its specific appearance, the gloominess in its expression was particularly strong.

At the same time, the fifty-two iron chains extending from the lake were shaking violently. As a low roar came from the fog, the iron chains trembled with a crash, and seven of them broke in an instant!

The lake roared, and the broken iron chain collapsed inch by inch and turned into fly ash. The same was true for the lake threads inside it, which were directly torn apart by the huge struggling force coming from the fog.

Seeing this, the face in the black rune showed a hint of unwillingness, and a strange voice came from his mouth.

"Tao Zun asked: What should we do if we exchange water demons and eliminate evil spirits? We all say: Anyone who does not obey my order will be beheaded!"

The sound like howling ghosts and wolves spread in all directions, the lake surface churned, and a long knife made of lake water flew out from the water surface and slashed towards the fog where Xu Qing was.

The speed is extremely fast, setting off countless raindrops, breaking the void, shattering the sky, and annihilating it.

At the same time, the black rune itself began to burn, and the green flame rose, blessing itself, and going to forcefully brand it.

The Talisman of Long Street also exploded, increasing the scrolling.

And Xu Qing, who was the source of all this, was currently in this fog storm, his body was bent, trembling violently, and a roar that was not like a human voice came out of his mouth.

Indescribable severe pain swept through his body and soul like the earth was shattering, tearing apart his divine body and releasing more black and poisonous mist.

In the blink of an eye, seven more chains tied to his body broke with a clicking sound.

Fourteen more soul-suppressing nails were driven out of his body. With a banging sound, they rolled up, shot out, penetrated the fog, and went straight to the outside of the fog. The coming waterjet.

The sound of banging spread, and the water knife was directly penetrated through the fourteen holes, heading towards the black runes and the long street rune paper.

In an instant, it penetrated again.

The black runes were riddled with holes, and the long street runes were missing a corner as they trembled. Their damage caused the power of the sealed land to decrease sharply. The next moment, the fog suddenly billowed into the sky.

With the rumbling sound, the remaining chains, wires, and nails collapsed one after another and were quickly forced out.

The broken water jet continued to be penetrated, and finally fell into pieces when it was submerged in the mist.

At this moment, the last iron chain, the last lake wire, and the last nail were shattered one after another, and the fog suddenly exploded outward.

At the same time as the roaring left and right, the mist shrank rapidly inward. As it expanded and contracted, an earth-shattering figure was revealed in the mist.

Ancient, dark, and murderous, these are the first feelings this figure gives people.

No skin could be seen on his whole body, and he was shrouded in black armor. Even his head was like this. It was extremely terrifying, especially the position of his eyes, where there was actually a faint fire burning.

The indifference is so obvious that it can make people's hearts palpitate.

Wisps of black mist curled up from the armor, quickly gathered behind it, and in the blink of an eye turned into a black cloak that seemed to be able to block out the sky and the sun.

The cloak swayed with the whirlpool of the sky, covering this space, where decay and poison spread endlessly.

Like a demon.

This is Xu Qing's superimposed second level of spiritual state. In this state, it seems that everything in front of it will wither and perish.

This yin-yang water evil situation is the same.

Xu Qing raised his head and took a step forward. As the world shook, he appeared in front of the black rune. He raised his right palm, which was as dark as a human hand, and grabbed it.

The black runes burned violently and emitted black smoke, like black dragons, roaring towards Xu Qing from all directions, but the moment they got closer, their roars turned into screams.

In Xu Qing's current state, the poison has reached the limit of what he can show, and can invade all things. Those black dragons have been affected one after another, and continue to dissipate.

The dark helmet covered Xu Qing's expression, but his exposed eyes were emitting ghostly fire. He ignored the screaming black dragons, grabbed the black rune with his right hand, and squeezed it hard.

With a click, the runes collapsed, and the surrounding black dragons turned into black blood and fell into the lake.

Xu Qing knew that he couldn't last long in this state, so after crushing the rune, he raised his head and looked coldly at the end of the long street.

On the riddled long street talisman, a figure suddenly appeared.

This figure is strange. It is not a flesh and blood body, but a black paper man.

It stood on the street with the upturned talisman paper. There was a hint of indifference in the painted eyes. It stared at Xu Qing and spoke slowly.

"I follow the laws of ghosts and the underworld, the rivers, the sun and the moon..."

At the same time as these paradoxical words came out, Xu Qing rushed out without any hesitation before he finished speaking, with terrifying momentum, heading straight towards the paper man.

The paper man's expression remained normal, his body fell backwards, and he lay directly on the talisman paper. He instantly became one with it and continued speaking.

"...The mountains, seas and stars are in my palms. I make light become bright and dark become dark. My curses are as urgent as laws and regulations!"

The moment Xu Qing arrived, the sound dissipated, and the long street talisman was tumbling violently at this moment, erupting from the front and rear ends at the same time, and quickly rolled towards Xu Qing.

Like a huge wave, it exudes terrifying pressure.

Seeing this, Xu Qing raised his right hand and pressed it hard towards the ground.

The moment it hit the water, the space shook violently, and everything around it was decaying and being invaded.

The lake water turned black in an instant, and the rules here were forcibly polluted in an instant.

Everything has become part of the drug ban, controlled by Xu Qing, and exploded. The vortex on the sky of this space also descended at this moment, blending with the fog of the drug ban, towards this talisman paper the size of a long street, Suppress hard.

The roaring sound, like a loud bell, resounded in all directions, and even the sound of the mirror shattering echoed. The seal from the Yin Yang Water Evil was isolated and collapsed directly.

In Xu Qing's eyes, the world returned to normal at this moment.

Long street, still long street.

The rain is still falling.

Only pieces of black paper money fell from the sky and melted into pieces in the rain. One of them was caught by Xu Qing with his hand.

His body also recovered at this time. The moment he released his spiritual state, blood overflowed from the corner of Xu Qing's mouth.

And at this moment, there is a roaring sound in the distance. This kind of fighting in the imperial capital, although there is a way to hide it from the sky, it is difficult to last long, and now it has been noticed.

Xu Qing did not move. He remained vigilant and looked forward. At the same time, he took out the jade slip and started transmitting messages.

Soon, figures appeared one after another, all holding swords. They were patrolling this place, so they rushed over immediately. After seeing Xu Qing and the black paper money falling around, their expressions changed and they looked at each other. Finally, I knew this was a big deal!

After all, this is the imperial capital, and an assassination here is extremely serious, especially when the target of the assassination is Xu Qing!

Then this matter is bad.

So I immediately started collecting traces here.

Not long after, two rainbows flew quickly from different directions, appeared behind the long street, and headed straight for Xu Qing.

One is Zixuan and the other is Li Yunshan.

Seeing the two of them, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yunshan's face was gloomy and he looked around. Zixuan looked angry. After arriving and confirming that Xu Qing was fine, her expression calmed down a little. Li Yunshan was about to speak.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Go back and talk."

Li Yunshan nodded, and under their escort, Xu Qing left quickly and returned to Ning Yan's mansion safely.

The moment he returned, the mansion was heavily guarded. The captain, who had disappeared for several days, had also returned. With a solemn expression, he, Zixuan and Li Yunshan looked at Xu Qing.

"This is a prearranged game."

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

"Meng Yunbai invited me to Hongchen Tower. He knows my whereabouts and is one of the suspects."

"In the Hongchen Tower, the emperor's son of the Supreme Star Emperor Sect had an obscure conflict with me. He may also be one of the suspects."

"And everyone I met during this trip, including Huang Kun, is suspected."

"But these are all overt. There may be other parties secretly carrying out the assassination for different purposes. For example, the seventh prince has a motive."

"The assassin is a black paper man. He has no life and is more like an incarnation. His cultivation is not spiritual possession, but Guixu..."

"Also, the technique claims to be a Dao spell, and contains a sense of ghosts and monsters, but it is too obvious, and it is suspected of being blamed."

"In addition, there are several doubts about this assassination. First, why do you dare to assassinate me in the imperial capital? If I die, it will not be a good thing for all parties in the imperial capital, but all parties are obviously slow to notice."

"Second, the assassin seems tough, but according to everyone's understanding of me, knowing that I have the Sun of Dawn and a series of achievements, I shouldn't just send out assassins like this."

"Third, during the battle, I had a hunch that the other party was more like a dead soldier and wanted me to blow up the Sun of Dawn. However, it is difficult to tell whether the other party deliberately caused this feeling to me to mess up my thoughts."

…

After Xu Qing told all the details and doubts about the assassination, he raised his right hand, with a piece of black paper in his palm.

"This assassination, in the end, gave me the feeling that it was not to really kill me, but to use this method to turn me into a chess piece to take the step that the person behind the scenes wanted."
