#362 - I want to kill you, and you dare to hide?
Two years had passed.
The changes in Qingyang made Jun Wu Xie sigh with emotion.
Returning to this land, all he saw was scorched earth.
The wind here was strong, sweeping in from the direction of the Dragon Ridge Mountains.
The gale stirred up sand and dust, carrying heatwaves that burned the skin like flames.
"To think that Qingyang City from back then has now become like this…"
Jun Wu Xie stood in the sky above the city, the familiar buildings long since burned to ashes, leaving only stone and earth.
The temperature here was unbearable not only for ordinary creatures but even for martial artists in the Xiantian realm.
He didn't linger and quickly swept past the city ruins, arriving at a mountain outside the city.
There was a lone grave here, the soil cracked in the high-temperature environment.
"Father, your son is unfilial, not returning to sweep your tomb for two years."
He stepped forward, gently stroking the tombstone, and said in a low voice, "Now that Qingyang has undergone great changes, your son has no choice but to disturb your rest and move your tomb to the Zongwang Mountain in the capital city."
He knelt before the tombstone and kowtowed three times heavily.
He stood up, retreated to the mountainside, and with a palm strike, cleaved the mountain in half from the middle.
Reaching out, the severed mountain was drawn into the air, and then he carried the mountain with one hand, returning to Zongwang Mountain.
When he returned to Zongwang Mountain, everyone saw him carrying a mountain and was shocked by his divine power.
The Starry Sky Realm, carrying a mountain with one hand, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers, it was simply unbelievable!
After finding a new burial place for his father, he returned to the courtyard, stayed with Su Lan, who was in a deep coma, for a while, and then left.
Returning to the Qingyang City territory again, Jun Wu Xie did not stop at all and went straight to the mountains outside Qingyang City.
His speed was not fast, not rushing in at dozens of times the speed of sound, but maintaining a subsonic pace.
That area was not too far from Qingyang City, only a few thousand miles away.
If it were dozens of times the speed of sound, it would only take a few minutes to arrive.
Obviously, that was unwise.
The situation in that area was currently unclear, and there must be experts from various forces paying attention to the surrounding area.
He was alone and didn't want to be exposed to others' sight too early.
"The trees and flowers here haven't been burned by the high temperature?"
After going about a thousand miles deep, he saw a shocking scene.
Although it was extremely hot here, with temperatures of at least five or six hundred degrees Celsius.
The vegetation in the mountains didn't show any signs of being burned, and even the earth didn't show any changes that should have been caused by the high temperature.
He observed carefully for a moment and found that there seemed to be traces of mysterious power within the earth, protecting the soil and vegetation, preventing them from being affected by the high temperature and flames.
Along the way, he often saw many corpses of ferocious beasts, of various kinds, the small ones only the size of a water buffalo, the large ones like small mountains.
The bones of these beasts were broken, their faces unrecognizable, as if they had experienced terrible trampling and crushing.
"This place experienced a terrible beast tide; it seems that due to the high temperature or other reasons, a large number of ferocious beasts formed a beast tide in a frantic escape, dying from being trampled by each other."
Jun Wu Xie looked up at the sky, the fire-like clouds were very thick, covering the entire sky above this area, and the clouds were very low, as if they were about to fall to the ground, making people feel very oppressed.
In the distance, he could already see that strange magma sea.
"Indeed, the Flame Valley where I hunted the Flame Python back then is in the central area of that flame sea…"
The scene he saw, combined with the markings on the map that Ma Ben and the others showed him.
He remembered the scene he and Ji Yinlan saw in the Flame Cave where the Flame Python lived.
At that time, they saw a corner of the magma sea inside the cave.
Moreover, they also saw a fiery red plant resembling a lotus flower slowly emerging from the magma sea.
Just then, he heard a low roar coming from the depths of the magma sea.
At that time, Ji Yinlan's face changed, and she pulled him away.
"Could it be that what Yinlan and I encountered in the cave back then was that Fire Jiao? That lotus flower should be the Fire Lotus that people from various forces saw, and also the thing that caused difficulties for the half-demon race?"
He pondered for a moment and basically had an answer in his heart.
As he went deeper, the temperature became higher and higher.
The whole world was fiery red, but the vegetation in the mountains was still green, forming a strange scene.
Roar!
From the depths of the mountains, a low beast roar came from time to time, the terrifying sound waves swept through like a gale, causing the trees all over the mountains to sway and the leaves to fall.
"Miss Qingxue said that the place where the Solar Divine Gold might exist is such a special fiery place.
Regardless of whether there is Solar Divine Gold there or not, I must investigate it thoroughly, and I can't miss it if there is even a glimmer of possibility!"
He crossed several mountains.
While crossing a canyon.
A leopard larger than a water buffalo, surrounded by cyan light, rushed into the sky from the forest beside the canyon like lightning, pouncing to kill.
Jun Wu Xie's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a sidestep, he dodged.
"Roar!"
The huge leopard, even its fur was cyan, surrounded by the power of wind, and runes flashed on its body.
Its eyes were bright yellow, its pupils flashing fiercely, its sharp leopard teeth were a foot long, and its claws were half a meter long when extended and retracted.
"Gale Leopard!"
This was an ancient remnant species, and after adulthood, its bloodline could awaken to the level of a sub-divine beast!
He was a little surprised that he would encounter such a creature of this bloodline here, only about two thousand miles away from the human territory of Qingyang City!
"Get out of here, I have no grievances or enmities with you, I don't want to kill you!"
Jun Wu Xie knew that the intelligence of such ferocious beasts was not low, at least they could understand the meaning expressed by humans.
Hearing this, the Gale Leopard revealed an even more ferocious look in its leopard eyes.
Moreover, Jun Wu Xie also saw confidence in its eyes.
That's right, it was confidence.
This Gale Leopard thought he was afraid.
Roar!
The Gale Leopard directly pounced, its speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see the trajectory of the pounce, as if teleporting, it instantly appeared in front of Jun Wu Xie.
The half-meter-long claws, like incomparably sharp blades, flashed with dazzling cold light, directly grabbing towards his chest.
At the same time, its hind legs kicked, opening its bloody mouth, biting towards his neck.
Jun Wu Xie's eyes turned cold, and without any movement, his whole body slid back one meter in an instant, just avoiding the Gale Leopard's fatal pounce.
Almost at the same time, his right hand shone with golden light, and he slammed out with a palm.
With a clang!
The Gale Leopard waved its claws and blocked his lightning-like attack.
The palm fingers, as firm as gold and iron, collided with the claws, bursting out metallic tremors and sparks.
With one strike, Jun Wu Xie's body remained as steady as a mountain, while the Gale Leopard retreated half a step, roaring and pouncing again.
"You do have some ability!"
Jun Wu Xie was deeply surprised that the Gale Leopard's combat power was only slightly inferior to his.
Activating the Primal True Eyes, he quickly saw its realm.
Quasi-eighth order!
Equivalent to the human half-step Grandmaster realm.
The degree of its bloodline awakening was obviously not at the peak of a sub-sage beast.
The bloodline strength of a sub-sage beast was equivalent to that of a human king from the first level to a quasi-ancient king.
The bloodline strength of this Gale Leopard was probably equivalent to that of a human king at the first or second level.
He could not exert an overwhelming advantage over it without using the Primal Soldier Dissection.
The Gale Leopard was obviously good at close combat.
It kept closing the distance with Jun Wu Xie, using its claws and teeth as weapons, coupled with its terrifying movement speed. After fighting for half a cup of tea, Jun Wu Xie still could not do anything to it.
It was not until Jun Wu Xie used the Divine Travel Without Distance that the Gale Leopard's speed advantage disappeared.
It quickly fell into a disadvantage and was beaten down by Jun Wu Xie's golden palm fingers.
After dozens of blows, it was hit by two fists and three palms, its skin was torn, and several of its ribs were broken, but it became even more ferocious.
However, its strength had already fallen from its peak, and no matter how violent and ferocious it was, it was useless.
With a puff.
In a pounce, Jun Wu Xie fell backward, his body passing under its abdomen, his palm knife sharp, cutting open its entire belly.
The Gale Leopard screamed miserably, turned around, and launched a desperate counterattack.
Jun Wu Xie jumped up, landed on its back like Mount Tai pressing down, circulated his blood energy, and shook it hard.
The Gale Leopard fell from the air, crashed heavily to the ground, and then its skull was smashed by his punch, whimpering, its limbs twitching, and its breath gone.
"Encountering an ancient remnant species in this area is not a good sign."
Jun Wu Xie jumped off the Gale Leopard, and with his fingers as a knife, prepared to take out its beast core.
He vaguely guessed in his heart that the strange magma sea, the Fire Jiao about to die of old age, and the appearance of the Fire Lotus had probably attracted some powerful creatures from the Dragon Ridge Mountains.
It was not difficult to imagine that they must all be ancient remnant species; otherwise, they would not be qualified to participate.
This Gale Leopard was not high in realm, and was obviously not a main force among those ancient remnant species.
Just as he was thinking this in his heart, he suddenly felt that the bastard in the Eternal Life Shrine seemed to have moved.
He was slightly startled in his heart and released it.
The bastard immediately rushed towards the Gale Leopard.
He saw that the essence blood on the Gale Leopard's body and the wind energy in the beast core were frantically devoured by the bastard, and its huge body slowly withered.
"Heh, I forgot that you like the essence blood and core energy of creatures with not weak bloodlines.
Good, you devour it, hatch out sooner, and let me see what kind of species you are, and then…"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
Without any hesitation, the runes of the Swift Travel Talisman beneath his feet shimmered, instantly shifting him tens of meters horizontally.
With a轰 sound.
In the instant he vanished, a fiery red sword energy, hundreds of feet long, descended from the sky, slamming into the spot where he had been standing, cleaving a massive abyss-like fissure into the ground, sending smoke and dust soaring.
The corpses of Bastard and the Gale Wind Leopard, just a few meters away, were blasted away by the surging waves of sword energy.
His pupils constricted slightly as he saw the person who had attacked.
A youth clad in brocade robes of profound yellow was standing in the high sky a hundred meters away, one hand behind his back, looking down at him condescendingly.
That youth had a face like it was carved by a knife, his features very handsome, his hair bound by a brocade crown, and unconcealable confidence and arrogance between his brows.
“I was going to kill you, and you actually dared to dodge?”
The youth spoke indifferently, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.
Jun Wuxie could tell that the other party was not deliberately putting on an act, but was genuinely surprised.
Perhaps in his world, as long as he made a move, anyone could only obediently wait for death, and once they dodged, it would be unforgivable.
“Hmm.” Before Jun Wuxie could speak, the youth spoke again, saying, “Since you can dodge, I suppose you have some ability. Fine, I will spare your worthless life. Now, hold that egg in your hands, kneel and offer it to me, and then you can scram.”
“Did your head get caught in a door?”
Jun Wuxie stared coldly at the youth, his palm spreading open, and with a suction force across the air, the Bastard that had devoured the Gale Wind Leopard flew back into his hand, and he put it away.
At the same time, the intent of the soldier within his body condensed, and golden blood energy surged.
This youth gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
That feeling was even stronger than when he had encountered Xiao Tianming in the Nanshan Secret Realm!
