Chapter 65 The Secret Worth One Hundred Spirit Stones
In an instant, the two figures met each other outside the gambling house. Xu Qing's body's Hai Jing and Hai Shan Jue were running at the same time. He was ready to fight quickly, so he punched with all his strength.
During the roar, the big fat man's body shook, and his expression changed obviously. It was obvious that he had misjudged his strength before. As soon as he came into contact with Xu Qing, he immediately felt the terrifying power from Xu Qing's body.
So he suddenly backed up, but compared to Xu Qing, his speed was still slow. In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing's fist touched his stomach.
With a bang, the big fat man's body trembled again, but instead of being knocked back, it suddenly turned into a piece of skin like a hollow, and suddenly enveloped Xu Qing.
The fat man's skin was very big and wide, covering it like an octopus, and it was about to wrap up Xu Qing.
Xu Qing frowned slightly, and a large number of water droplets appeared outside his body in an instant. They quickly changed into diamond shapes and whizzed away like arrows. With a popping sound, they immediately penetrated the skin bag.
A ferocious figure emerged from the broken skin and retreated in an instant.
It was a humanoid creature covered in mucus, with green hair, scales all over its body, a fierce glint in its eyes, and a forked tongue sticking out of the sharp thorn-like teeth in its mouth.
He took a deep look at Xu Qing and did not continue to take action, but was about to escape in a flash.
Xu Qing stared coldly, raised his right hand and waved, a curtain of water appeared out of thin air in front of the foreign monk, blocking it suddenly, forcing his body to retreat a little, and his eyes became more ferocious.
"you wanna die!"
As he spoke, the foreign monk ran straight towards Xu Qing, waving his hands with a large amount of black energy floating away, forming wisps of resentful souls, making a shrill sound, and rushed directly towards Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's face was expressionless, and the energy and blood in his body dispersed outwards. Immediately, even more shrill screams came from the mouths of the resentful souls. After being directly shaken away by Xu Qing's strong energy and blood, Xu Qing took a step forward, and his face became completely pale.
In front of the transformed foreign monk, he raised his right hand and grabbed it forward.
The foreign monk's breathing was rapid and his eyes showed madness.
At the critical moment, all the scales on his body fell off at this moment, like countless sharp blades, sweeping towards Xu Qing in front of him like a whirlpool and storm.
After doing this, it did not continue to run away, but instead exploded with vicious intent. The sharp nails on its right hand stabbed directly towards Xu Qing's neck.
"die!"
But in the blink of an eye, the foreign monk's eyes suddenly shrank, revealing disbelief and shock.
Xu Qing didn't care about his storm of scales at all. No matter how the scales came, they couldn't stop his powerful palm. At this moment, he penetrated directly through the whirlpool of scales and grabbed the foreign monk's hand.
With a click, Xu Qing pushed upwards and broke it off, causing the foreign monk's hand to twist in an exaggerated way.
He moved closer and hit the foreign monk's head hard with his forehead. A scream was heard. The foreign monk wanted to step back, but his hand was caught by Xu Qing.
The feeling of being clamped by iron pliers made him breathe quickly, and he was so horrified that he couldn't break free.
"Fellow Taoist, I am..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qing calmly grabbed the other person's hand and broke it again, causing the foreign monk's sharp fingers to pierce directly between his eyebrows.
The sound of bones and flesh being broken was heard, and the foreign monk's eyebrows were penetrated, and he let out a desperate scream. His voice was extremely miserable, and his eyes showed intense fear.
But its body structure is different from that of humans, so it is not fatal.
But it was still severely injured after all. At this moment, as the blood flowed out, its breath became weak rapidly. Xu Qing grabbed its neck and passed out. Like a corpse, it was dragged away quickly towards the distance.
There was silence inside and outside the gambling house, and both the gamblers and the guards were trembling at this moment. The sound of the fight between Xu Qing and Sun Dewang just now was loud and attracted their attention, but the whole battle was too fast, and Xu Qing's attacks were too cruel.
Especially after they recognized the identity of the foreign monk outside and realized how powerful he was, they also became more aware of the horror of Xu Qing's place.
No one dared to speak. In the solidification of the air, Xu Qing, who was about to walk away, suddenly stopped in his steps and raised his head to look into the distance.
On the empty and dark street in the distance, a person was walking towards him.
As he got closer, and as he stepped into the area illuminated by the lights outside the casino, his figure became clearer from darkness, and his lavender robe gradually came into Xu Qing's eyes.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
The person coming in front was a young man with long black hair, good looks, slender body, and the arrogance in his expression, especially the Taoist robe, which clearly revealed his noble identity.
Furthermore, the waves of the Sea Transformation Sutra of the eighth level of Qi Condensation spread out strongly on his body, causing a large number of water droplets to form around him, each drop carrying a sharp force, locking onto Xu Qing.
"Which branch of the Murder Division are you from? Put him down for me, and then I can pretend that I didn't see this!"
The visitor's words were cold and there was no doubt in his words.
Xu Qing was silent. He had seen the young man in front of him before. During his first inspection with the captain some time ago, he had seen him from a distance walking down from the mortal world like the son of a god.
He knew very well that this person was the core disciple of the Seventh Peak.
Xu Qing frowned slightly. Although he had made some arrangements to prevent accidents before, facing the identity of a core disciple, it was probably difficult for him to be effective. And for the sake of forty spirit stones, he had a conflict with the core disciple.
Xu Qing felt it was not worthwhile unless the benefits were greater.
But at this moment, a cold voice came from behind the young man in lavender robe.
"The core disciples are so powerful that they directly interfered with law enforcement in front of our murder department."
As soon as the voice came out, the young man in lavender robe turned around suddenly, Xu Qing also looked up, and immediately saw a figure wandering from a distance. This figure was walking and eating an apple. It was the captain of the sixth team.
.
The eyes of the young man in lavender robes were focused, and Xu Qing also had some surprises in his eyes, but what surprised him was not the arrival of the captain, but that the captain actually chose to show up at this time.
In fact, it was impossible for Xu Qing to completely believe the clues given by the old man on Banquan Road. In this sinister city of Seven Blood Pupils, the other party might have deliberately given a clue with a deep hole to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Especially for an industry like a gambling house to be opened in the main city of Seven Blood Pupils, there must be some background. So on the way here, Xu Qing thought about it and sent a message to the captain, promising to give half of the profits. If necessary, the captain should be changed.
It’s time to step forward and resolve disputes.
Regardless of whether this dispute will arise or not, he will give the spiritual stone.
The first clue on the wanted criminal was abandoned, so the captain did not show up. Now that the second clue leads to the core disciple, Xu Qing originally thought that the captain would not show up either.
Sensing the surprise on Xu Qing's expression, the captain bit off a piece of fruit pulp, blinked at Xu Qing, and then looked at the young man in lavender robe with an ugly expression.
"According to the third rule of the Criminal Investigation Department, those who obstruct official duties during law enforcement will be severely punished."
"He is a wanted criminal. We are enforcing the law and it is official duty."
"Are you trying to get in the way?" The captain looked at the young man in lavender robe with a smile.
In Xu Qing's eyes, the captain was clearly wearing a gray robe, but the forcefulness of his words and the ugly look on the young man's lavender robe made Xu Qing feel as if the two of them had changed identities.
This made him extremely surprised.
As for the young man in lilac robe, after the captain's words were spoken, his breathing became slightly quickened and his heart turned rapidly. In fact, Sun Dewang paid a lot of filial piety to him on weekdays. This casino was also one of his properties, so he was initially
No one can be allowed to take it away.
But the young man in lavender robes was a little wary of the captain of the sixth team in front of him. He knew him and had heard of such a number one figure. In his memory, about two years ago, this person had a conflict with another core disciple, and not long after that...
The core disciple has disappeared.
This incident made him extremely vigilant, and what shocked him even more was that there was no follow-up investigation on this matter on the mountain, and they remained tight-lipped about it, and not many people below the mountain seemed to know about it.
You must know that the disappearance of the core is a big deal in Qixuetong, but that time... nothing happened.
After a moment of silence, the young man in lavender robe snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and left without saying a word.
This dramatic scene made Xu Qing's heart arouse. When he looked at the captain, many speculations emerged in his heart.
"My spirit stone." The captain looked at Xu Qing and smiled.
Xu Qing gave him twenty spirit stones without saying a word.
After taking the spirit stone, the captain showed a satisfied look on his face and glanced at the young man in lavender robe who walked away.
"This man's name is Zhao Zhongheng. He is a fool. If his grandfather had not been the elder of the Seventh Peak, he would have been killed long ago. How could he still have a core identity?"
"But I heard that his grandfather arranged for him to come down from the mountain and work as a leader in the Dispatch Department. I guess he wanted to get some experience in it."
The captain said and walked forward. Xu Qing remained silent and followed him, heading to the murder department together.
Xu Qing looked at the captain many times on the way, until when he was about to arrive at the murder department, the captain looked sideways at Xu Qing and asked in surprise.
"You guys are so tolerant, why don't you ask me why I am so powerful and why I can make the core retreat?"
"Why?" Xu Qing asked.
The captain looked at Xu Qing and felt a little bored.
"It's very boring for you to be like this... Forget it, since you are my team member, I will tell you. I offended a core two years ago, and I was planning to escape from the Seven Blood Pupils, but guess what?
What’s going on, hahaha.”
"The core accidentally died while going to sea. After investigation, the sect found that it was indeed an accident, so they left it alone. Then, for some reason, the news spread... some cores on the mountain thought I was rather mysterious."
"So, when they saw me, most of them avoided me." The captain waved his hand and looked at Xu Qing with a smile.
Xu Qing nodded.
"Do you really believe it?" The captain was surprised.
"I don't believe it." Xu Qing shook his head.
"Then you still nod..."
Xu Qing was silent.
The captain sighed, as if he felt bored again. After a while, when the two of them saw the gate of the Murder Department from a distance, his face was a little blurry in the dark, and he said softly.
"The truth is, I killed him. This is my secret. Xu Qing, this secret is worth...well, one hundred spirit stones!"
After the captain finished speaking, he winked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing can't get a hundred spirit stones.
The captain sighed, muttered a few words, and asked Xu Qing to admit that he owed him a hundred spirit stones. Then he stretched himself and went to the Xuan Department of the Crime Hunting Department.
Xu Qing rubbed his eyebrows and looked at the captain who was walking away. He did not feel helpless about the spiritual stone that he was forced to owe for no reason, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, the reason why he didn't speak was because he was keenly aware of a looming murderous intention on the captain, and the captain's cultivation seemed to be the same as the ninth and tenth levels of Qi Condensation that Xu Qing had judged before, but now Xu Qing
There is a vague feeling that the opponent must be hiding something, and his true fighting power must be stronger.
But the other party's murderous intention did not break out. After he agreed to owe the spiritual stone, it quickly dissipated.
With his mind relaxed at this moment, Xu Qing turned back and looked in the direction of Banquan Road in the distance, with a cold light in his eyes.
He quickly retracted his gaze, stepped into the murder department, handed Sun Dewang to the department's storage department, and took the rewarded spiritual stone.
Before leaving, he gave some spiritual coins to the fellow disciple in charge of collecting wanted criminals, and asked politely about Zhao Zhongheng.
The disciple in charge of collecting the wanted persons received the spirit coins with a smile on his face and told Xu Qing.
What he said was roughly consistent with what the captain said, but not as detailed as what the captain said. Xu Qing understood deeply and left after thanking him.
On the way to the port berth, Xu Qing's eyes were filled with thoughts as he recalled what happened that night.
"The captain is very strong and evil. He seems a little different to me. What is his purpose?"
With deep thoughts, Xu Qing returned to the berth, feeling deeply wary in his heart. He took out a bamboo slip from his pocket. This thing was very old and had obviously been used for a long time.
There is a dense row of crossed out names on it. Among those who have not been crossed out, there is one, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect.
Xu Qing picked up the iron sign and started carving, writing the words "Old Man of Banquan Road".
Then he wrote the word captain. After thinking about it, he added a question mark after the word captain.
The name was engraved because of the captain's previous murderous intention, and the question mark was put there because the murderous intention was resolved by a hundred spiritual stones.
Xu Qing then buried the captain's matter. He didn't want to explore the captain's secret, so he took out Sun Dewang's leather bag, opened it and scanned it. Xu Qing was silent.
He thought of what the other party said when he walked out of the gambling house.
As expected, there was no hair left in the leather bag, and any debris was worthless. Xu Qing frowned, threw the leather bag aside, crossed his legs and began to practice.
Time passed like this day by day, and Xu Qing, who had obtained twenty spiritual stones, did not go to Banquan Road again. The old man in the inn was suspected of killing someone with a borrowed knife, and Xu Qing had already begun to plan how to kill him quietly.
It's just that this matter is a bit difficult, so Xu Qing doesn't plan to overly alert others before taking action.
His main focus during this period, besides practicing, was to use spiritual stones to purchase expensive materials to improve his Dharma Ark.
Its Level 2 Dharma Ark has been upgraded by two levels, reaching Level 4 solidity.
At this moment, the appearance of the Dharma Boat has been greatly changed. Not only has the length and width increased a lot, but the most important thing is that the body of the boat is not only covered with the scale totems of the past, but has been replaced with real scales.
Under the dense crowd, the entire Dharma boat on the sea looks not much different from a real crocodile. The ferocity on it is also more violent, especially the crocodile head, which seems to have spirituality, and the carved eyes reveal a sparkle.
.
That's because Xu Qing bought two solid rocks and replaced his eyes, making the boat's protection more comprehensive.
The original awning has also become a house with a boat and a door, making Xu Qing's sense of security even more obvious.
And such a fourth-level boat is not available to everyone in the harbor. Although the materials Xu Qing chose were all low-level, it still attracted some attention in Port 79.
There was nothing he could do about this matter. Even if he asked the store to cover it up during refining, the effect would not be great, so Xu Qing could only be more cautious and vigilant.
Fortunately, vigilance and caution have become a part of his life over the years.
At the same time, the rapid improvement of the magic boat has accelerated his plan to go to sea a lot.
All this made Xu Qing look forward to the Dharma Boat more and more. Although it cost a lot, he felt it was worth it.
As for Zhao Zhongheng, there has been no follow-up in the past few days, and he seems to be intimidated by the captain.
At the same time, during this period of time, the Murder Department no longer searched for Yejiu on the surface, but the atmosphere inside became obviously tense, which made Xu Qing feel that the closing of Yejiu's net should be coming soon.
Two days later, Xu Qing, who had been sent off duty, received a notice before leaving the Crime Catching Division that no one was allowed to leave the Crime Catching Division today and were waiting for orders in their respective teams.
Their sound transmission jade slips are also subject to restrictions.
This made Xu Qing understand that the net must be closed tonight.
This was indeed the case. An hour later, as dusk just fell, Xu Qing, who was waiting in the team, saw the captain's figure.
"The Secretary has decided that the seven districts will unite Yejiu to close the net today. There are a total of seventeen Yejiu hiding spots in the port area that have been confirmed in these days. Teams from all four divisions of Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang and Huang will be dispatched in a mixed manner."
"Xu Qing, the location you turned in is correct. This time our team is acting together with the third team of the local area, and the target is this location." The captain smiled at Xu Qing, then looked solemnly and glanced at all the team members.
"In this stronghold, there are two people from the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, four from the ninth level of Qi Condensation, seven from the eighth level, and a few others, a total of twenty-five!"
"The Secretary attaches great importance to this matter. In any stronghold, if the team kills the enemy chief, each team member will be rewarded with ten spiritual stones. Those who kill the enemy chief will be rewarded with eighty spiritual stones!"
"In addition, each of Yejiu's heads is worth ten spirit stones. Brothers, it's time to make extra money!"
When Xu Qing heard this, his eyes suddenly condensed. If he wanted to upgrade his fourth-level magic boat to the sixth level, the required materials were added together. If he chose the low-level, a dozen spirit stones would be enough, but if he chose the low-level, he wanted to upgrade it.
The mid-level one costs about eighty spirit stones. As for the high-level one, Xu Qing didn't consider it because it was ridiculously expensive.
In the past few days, he was still worrying about how to obtain the spirit stones. At this moment, listening to the captain's words, Xu Qing's eyes showed a glint——
