Hun Changqing learned about Hun Tong's exploits from the women of the Hun Clan he had seduced after he grew up. Although they weren't from the same era, women are always gossipy, and the women of the Hun Clan were no exception; they always had their own sources of information.
From the women's words, Hun Changqing could detect envy for Hun Tong's past glory and schadenfreude over her downfall. However, at the time, Hun Changqing didn't pay much attention. When he was young, Hun Tong, with the cultivation of a Dou Wang, ran away to the outside world, and there had been no news of her for many years. Perhaps she had already died somewhere.
Hun Changqing had no interest in discussing a dead person, so it was usually the women beside him who talked. Hun Changqing listened as if it were a joke, while his hands moved haphazardly.
Hun Changqing never expected that the person he thought was already dead would appear before him, having regained her former bloodline and strength. Clearly, she had had considerable opportunities during her years away.
At this moment, Xingxiu heard Hun Changqing call out her name. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her heart startled at first, then her pretty face hardened, and the killing intent in her eyes intensified.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, someone in the clan would still remember me. But even if they recognize me, so what? As a member of the Soul Clan, I naturally know the importance of the Soul Palace. You dare to covet the Soul Palace! Today, you must die!"
Hun Changqing's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this. He ignored Xingxiu's killing intent and noticed a strangeness in her words. Judging from her tone, she seemed to not want others to remember her? In other words, she joined the Soul Palace as Venerable Xingxiu. After recovering her talent and strength, she had not returned to the clan. The clan now believed, just as he had before, that Xingxiu was already dead?
However, Xingxiu's experience was indeed somewhat similar to his own. Both of them were abandoned by their clans due to serious injuries, chose to leave, had opportunities outside the clan, but did not choose to return.
Although the clan is rich in resources and is currently investing heavily in cultivating geniuses, for people like Hun Changqing and Xingxiu, who have some disagreements with the clan, returning would be somewhat uncomfortable. It's better for them to rely on their own methods to plunder resources outside.
Once they are strong enough, they can return to the clan. With sufficient strength, the clan will pay more attention to them. At this critical juncture, when a grand plan is about to begin and manpower is urgently needed, the clan will not allow unnecessary internal strife. Even Hun Feng and Hun Yu cannot break this taboo at this critical moment.
Although Xingxiu's situation is somewhat similar to his own, Hun Changqing feels no sympathy or mutual understanding. Instead, the thought that the clan is unaware that Xingxiu has recovered his bloodline and talent ignites a murderous intent within him.
Now that Xingxiu knows he robbed the Soul Palace, if she ever returns to Zhongzhou and mentions it, Hun Changqing will be in big trouble. This is clearly the act of a traitor, and even if Hun Changqing's current talent and strength far surpass those of his generation, the clan won't hesitate to punish him.
At this moment, Hun Changqing's eyes flashed with cold light as he stared at Xingxiu, and a dense killing intent rose and swirled around him. The Taiyin True Body is inherently a killing physique, with terrifying and boundless killing intent. Furthermore, after Hun Changqing broke through to Dou Zun, the Taiyin True Body was enhanced, and the killing intent surged accordingly, almost solidifying into a tangible form.
Although Xingxiu was breathtakingly beautiful, Hun Changqing had no other thoughts in his mind at this moment. Medusa's appearance was in no way inferior to Xingxiu's, and over the years, Hun Changqing had developed a great resistance to beauty.
Although Xingxiu's temperament was completely different from Medusa's, perhaps bringing some novelty to Hun Changqing, Xingxiu's existence only brought endless trouble. Therefore, Hun Changqing's heart was filled with nothing but endless killing intent towards Xingxiu.
Upon feeling this overwhelming killing intent enveloping her, Xingxiu was instantly startled, her face contorted with horror, her hair standing on end. For a moment, a scene of carnage and bloodshed seemed to appear before her eyes, eerie and terrifying.
"Hmph!"
Xingxiu was no weakling after all, and her will was unwavering. Initially affected by the killing intent, she quickly regained her composure, letting out a cold snort. Vast starlight swirled around her, repelling the approaching killing intent.
At this moment, Xingxiu's beautiful eyes held a murderous glint, but her expression was extremely solemn. Although she had just shouted that she would kill Hun Changqing, she truly lacked a high degree of confidence.
Hun Changqing's chilling battle aura and his endless stream of bizarre fighting techniques had already caused her considerable trouble. The killing intent he had just released was incredibly dense, a level of killing intent she had never sensed even from the most bloodthirsty elders in her clan.
Moreover, Hun Changqing hadn't yet used his bloodline power. Xing Su didn't believe someone of such terrifying strength wouldn't possess bloodline power; he was clearly hiding his strength. It was easy to imagine how terrifying Hun Changqing would become if he unleashed his bloodline power, combined with his bizarre fighting techniques. This made Xing Su feel extremely troubled.
The strength Hun Changqing displayed as a mere one-star Dou Zun was something even Xing Su, who considered herself to be at the same level, would feel inferior to. She had never heard of Hun Changqing in her clan back then; clearly, he was a newly risen genius after her departure. But she had only been gone for less than twenty years! Didn't that mean this person was already a one-star Dou Zun at most in his early twenties?
"What's your name?"
At this moment, Xingxiu's eyes were like torches, staring at Hun Changqing. Her gaze seemed to want to penetrate Hun Changqing's black hood and see the face hidden beneath it. She suddenly became curious about Hun Changqing, whose talent surpassed that of many of her clansmen before. Moreover, seeing that this person's strength was so extraordinary, perhaps she could take him to that place? Let him scout the way?
"Hmm?" Hun Changqing was taken aback when Xingxiu suddenly asked his name, feeling somewhat strange. However, Hun Changqing had no intention of seriously answering Xingxiu's question at the moment. A sinister smile appeared on his lips as he coldly said,
"Hehehe... My name is Youhun, Aunt Xingxiu. This junior greets you."
After all, Xingxiu was from the same era as his father and was also his father's former crush, so it wasn't inappropriate for Hun Changqing to call her "aunt." However, Xingxiu didn't see it that way. She took it as Hun Changqing mocking her. As for the name Hun Changqing mentioned, it was just a title of a Venerable, just like hers, without any real meaning.
"Hmph!"
Knowing that Hun Changqing wouldn't answer her question, Xingxiu snorted coldly, no longer thinking about that place. Instantly, her aura surged, intending to attack.
At this moment, Xingxiu's head of silver hair flew wildly, each strand glistening, enveloped in a dazzling ring of stars, making her appear like a supreme deity, requiring everyone's worship.
"Arrogant junior!"
A cold voice escaped from Xingxiu's crimson lips. Then, her slender, artistic fingers formed a hand seal, and her jade-like hand pointed towards Hun Changqing. A blinding beam of starlight shot across the sky, illuminating the entire dark and gloomy mountain range.
However, facing such a terrifying attack, Hun Changqing's face remained calm. He simply raised his hand slowly and pressed forward.
As Hun Changqing raised his hand, a faint silver light swirled around his jade-like hand. His aura was inconspicuous, making him seem quite ordinary, with only a slight chill permeating the surroundings. You'll never believe why I moved to… Dortmund As the dazzling starlight descended upon Hun Changqing, he was completely enveloped in a shimmering silver light. A magnificent silver ring then appeared behind him, evolving into a gigantic, silvery moon.
With this transformation, Hun Changqing's aura surged. Since his advancement to Dou Zun, his Taiyin True Body had revealed its true power, capable of manifesting extraordinary phenomena.
These phenomena allowed him to instantly enhance the quality of his Taiyin True Qi and cause his cultivation level to skyrocket. He no longer needed to fear the surge in power caused by the ancient races activating their bloodlines; he now possessed such a method, which was why he was confident he could keep Xing Su here forever. Although
there were limitations to his current ability to use this technique, Hun Changqing was determined to kill Xing Su. If Xing Su didn't survive, Hun Changqing would face endless trouble. He truly wanted to leave and didn't want to resort to such methods at his current level.
A dazzling silver light, like moonlight, shot straight into the sky, illuminating the heavens. It then pressed down directly on the oncoming starlight. The starlight, upon contact with the silver light, instantly crumbled, its previous panic collapsing like a mouse encountering a cat, frantically being annihilated and dissipated by the silver light.
Xing Su was also shaken to her core at the moment the starlight was extinguished. Her eyes widened as she stared at Hun Changqing with disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that this overwhelming, divinely powerful silver light could be a fighting technique Hun Changqing could unleash.
After sensing Hun Changqing's aura again, Xing Su's face showed further astonishment. She couldn't sense the power of the Soul Clan's bloodline from Hun Changqing's surging aura.
"Not bloodline power? A secret technique? If bloodline power is added, how strong would it be?"
Xing Su's eyes were wide, her expression somewhat blank, muttering to herself.
However, just as Xing Su was slightly stunned, Hun Changqing's attack struck again. Hun Changqing had no intention of giving Xing Su a chance to breathe; his killing intent towards Xing Su was now extremely intense. A
dazzling silver light, like moonlight, was pure and bright, filled with a sacred aura, and swept down, creating a beautiful and magnificent scene, but subtly carrying a powerful and intense killing intent.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion resounded, and Xing Su's body was sent flying, coughing up blood. The starlight surrounding him dimmed instantly, and then... After flying hundreds of miles through the sky, he crashed heavily onto the dark ground.
With Xing Su's fall, a crater hundreds of feet deep instantly appeared on the ground, dust billowed, rocks flew everywhere, and ancient trees were snapped and exploded by the powerful impact.
Hun Changqing slowly descended from the sky, heading towards the dusty crater. He could sense that Xingxiu's aura was now extremely weak, and Hun Changqing was going to deliver the final blow, sending her on her way.
Rushing into the crater, where starlight and dust blurred his vision, Hun Changqing traversed towards the center, where Xingxiu's aura emanated.
Upon reaching the aura's source, Hun Changqing found it deserted, with only a few streaks of crimson blood remaining. Just as Hun Changqing frowned, about to sense again, a fair, jade-like fist suddenly burst forth from the thick fog of starlight and dust, aiming for Hun Changqing's head.
Hun Changqing had already been on guard upon entering this fog, and naturally noticed Xingxiu's attack. However, seeing this familiar scene and this familiar attack method, Hun Changqing couldn't help but twitch his lips. Why did women always like to pull these kinds of tricks?
Clearly, Xingxiu's previous sneak attack, similar to Gu Xun'er's, had brought back some unpleasant memories for Hun Changqing, causing him to shudder. Gu Xun'er's frenzied behavior was still fresh in his mind.
"A boring trick,"
Hun Changqing's face darkened, his mood sour as he recalled the unpleasant events. Seeing the jade fist hurtling towards him, a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he coldly uttered a word. He then reached out and firmly gripped Xingxiu's fist with his own long, slender, white hand enveloped in silver light.
A chilling flash of bloodlust then appeared in Hun Changqing's eyes. With a sudden jerk, he dragged Xingxiu out of the thick fog. Then, to Xingxiu's utter horror, Hun Changqing raised his leg and delivered a vicious horizontal kick towards Xingxiu's abdomen.
"Bang!"
"Pfft!"
With a loud thud, Xing Su was sent flying like a cannonball, her body arched. As she flew backward, a large amount of blood gushed from her mouth before she slammed heavily onto the ground, rolling hundreds of meters before finally coming to a stop.
Xing Su lay on her side, curled up like a shrimp. Her once fair and delicate face, now stained with gray-black dust, showed immense pain. Her hands clutched her abdomen tightly, as if trying to alleviate the excruciating pain.
Hun Changqing slowly walked to Xing Su's side. Looking at the Xing Su Venerable, whose face was contorted in agony but whose eyes blazed with uncontrollable resentment, Hun Changqing's face revealed a mocking expression, followed by a sneer.
"Hehehe..."
