Chapter 703 Where Did the People Go?
There is only one chance. If you can't grasp it, the consequences will be disastrous.
The attack of the yellow-faced pirate came in an instant, and Qingyang was ready. Five spirit swords suddenly flew into the sky at the same time, and countless sword shadows were transformed. They quickly formed a huge sword formation above his head, and then took the initiative to meet the opponent's water-dividing thorn.
In the late stage of Qi Refining, Qingyang had used the Five Elements Sword Formation, but at that time he used five top-grade magic swords, and the required true essence and divine thoughts could still be supported.
After he broke through the foundation-building period, the level of the top-grade magic swords was too low, so he changed to five low-grade spirit swords, but the true essence and divine thoughts required to control five low-grade spirit swords at the same time were too much, and he couldn't support it with his foundation-building level. Not to mention the Five Elements Sword Formation, even the Four Elements Sword Formation was very difficult, so he rarely used it in recent years.
Now the situation was urgent, Qingyang had to try hard, and he forced the Five Elements Sword Formation to be used. Of course, this was also related to his six or seven years of hard training on the spirit ship in the past few years, which raised his cultivation to the peak of the second level of foundation building. Otherwise, Qingyang would never take the risk to try.
Although Qingyang had been mentally prepared before, the load of controlling five low-grade spirit swords at the same time still caught him off guard. When the sword formation was first formed, his face turned pale, his true essence was instantly exhausted, and his soul also made a light buzzing sound, as if he was pierced by thousands of fine needles. The pain was unbearable. If he had not often practiced the Concentration Technique of the One-horned Ghost King, he would have had a certain immunity to this kind of pain, and he might have fainted from the pain.
Qingyang ignored these, because the Five Elements Sword Formation had already collided with the water-dividing thorn of the yellow-faced pirate. There was only a huge roar, and the sound spread at least ten miles away. The huge impact force exploded layers of huge waves on the entire sea surface. The yellow-faced pirate lost his balance and retreated several feet, while Qingyang flew back more than ten feet like a thrown stone, and finally fell on the sea. The waves stirred up and sank to the bottom of the sea.
After finally suppressing the surging blood in his body, the yellow-faced pirate looked extremely gloomy. He could never have imagined that the opponent, a small second-level foundation-building cultivator, could actually launch such an attack. Just now, it has surpassed most of the mid-level foundation-building cultivators, and even compared to the seventh-level foundation-building cultivators, it is not much worse. You know, he himself is only at the seventh-level foundation-building cultivator. If this kid is a little more powerful, wouldn’t he lose even to him?
This is not an early-stage foundation-building cultivator, it is clearly a disguised mid-level foundation-building cultivator. This kid is really insidious. Fortunately, I am very powerful and did not hold back when I attacked just now, otherwise, I might have been injured by now.
But the boy's strength was still inferior to his own. Although the opponent's sword formation broke 60% to 70% of the power of his attack just now, the rest of the attack seemed to fall on the boy. The yellow-faced pirate was very confident in his attack ability. Even if it was only 30% to 40% of the power, it was enough to severely damage the cultivators below the late stage of foundation building. The boy would definitely die.
However, he was still a little worried. He wanted to see the person alive and the body dead. Such a person must not be kept, and he could not be lucky. He must be killed in person to eliminate future troubles. The yellow-faced pirate felt cold in his heart, and then his figure flashed and went to the place where Qingyang fell.
After arriving at the place, he did not find the shadow of Qingyang. The yellow-faced pirate could not help but be a little surprised. After the boy endured his attack, even if he did not die, he only had half his life left. He could not even move. He must be nearby. Why can't he find him?
Thinking of the scene just now, Qingyang fell on the sea and was then rolled up by the waves. Did he sink to the bottom of the sea? The yellow-faced pirate quickly released his consciousness and explored the bottom of the sea. The divine consciousness of a late-stage foundation-building cultivator can spread to nearly a hundred feet, which is a very large range. It took only a dozen breaths from Qingyang being repelled to the yellow-faced pirate releasing his divine consciousness. Not to mention that he was seriously injured, even if he was intact, it would be impossible for him to escape so far in a short time.
As a result, the yellow-faced pirate used his divine consciousness to explore and found nothing. There was not even a passing fish around. He even sank into the sea and searched the nearby sea area, but still did not find Qingyang. Now he was a little panicked, and had a sense of foreboding in his heart. Could that kid have taken advantage of the opportunity just now to escape?
How is this possible? It is impossible for cultivators below the late stage of foundation-building to survive his attack, unless he has a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon on him, but how can a small early-stage foundation-building cultivator have a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon? A top-grade defensive spiritual weapon is worth at least 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones. Not to mention foundation-building cultivators, even Jindan cultivators, many people can't buy one in their entire lives.
That is to say, the biggest possibility is that Qingyang has used some concealment method to hide somewhere, but this is not right. If the boy is seriously injured, his concealment method will definitely be affected. With his perception ability as a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, how could he not find him?
The yellow-faced pirate didn't believe it, so he used his divine sense to carefully check the surrounding sea surface several times, not letting go of every inch of the sea surface. He also searched deep into the sea and plowed almost the entire seabed, but still found nothing.
The yellow-faced pirate was a little unwilling. He didn't go anywhere and just suffered here. He didn't believe that a seriously injured cultivator could not eat, drink, move, or heal for several days after using concealment methods. Even the most sophisticated methods would have flaws.
Unfortunately, the yellow-faced pirates guarded this position for a whole day, but still got nothing. During this time, the four pirates who acted separately came to report. The monks who fled to the other three directions captured two people, Xiao Yuhan and Xi Ping. The two mid-stage foundation-building monks who captured Xi Ying not only failed to capture her, but were injured, which was very surprising.
When they acted separately, everyone thought that the pirates would definitely focus on chasing Qingyang and Xi Ying. Xiao Yuhan and Xi Ping were the most likely to escape. As a result, things are unpredictable. They were caught and Qingyang and Xi Ying, who were the focus of the pirates' pursuit, were not caught.
Later, the blood skull also sent people to find him. After hearing the report from the yellow-faced pirate, the blood skull also felt that something was wrong, but he suspected that the yellow-faced pirate had done something to it. He deliberately destroyed the body in order to embezzle the top-grade flying spiritual weapon. Otherwise, how could a small first-level foundation-building monk escape from the palm of the late-stage foundation-building monk? But he couldn't find any evidence, and he couldn't just suspect his brother, so Blood Skull could only suppress his suspicion.
