Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

Without further hesitation, the Azure Water Beast opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of black mist.

After the black mist filled the entire cave, his figure disappeared without a trace.

"This is getting a bit tricky."

Ji Qing took a few steps back, fully activating his divine sense. As soon as he detected any unusual activity, he would immediately take action without hesitation.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from behind him, which Ji Qing heard. He immediately dodged to the side.

As he dodged, he drew his longsword and swiftly slashed towards the Azure Water Beast.

"when!"

Stone fragments flew everywhere, and Ji Qing's attack missed its mark. The Azure Water Beast had already vanished, its whereabouts unknown.

Upon seeing this, Ji Qing frowned slightly.

He knew that things couldn't continue like this.

If the Azure Water Beast is allowed to continue like this, even if it has antidotes and is fully prepared, accidents are bound to happen.

So he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately took out the fire talisman he had prepared in advance from his storage bag.

The Azure Water Beast is skilled at spewing poisonous mist, so when it participated in the tournament, it prepared many talismans, among which the Fire Talisman was one.

The price of this Fire Talisman is a bit high in the market, around seven spirit stones per talisman. Its main function is to dispel poisonous fog.

Ji Qing's lips moved slightly as he muttered incantations. After the fire talisman in his hand shone brightly with yellow light, he gently tossed his right hand into the sky. The fire talisman immediately flew out of his hand and shot towards the top of his head.

"boom……..!"

A large amount of flame suddenly burst out from the fire talisman, instantly filling the entire cave. Wherever the flame passed, the poisonous mist was completely burned away.

About five or six breaths later, the poisonous mist surrounding him quickly disappeared.

"roar…….."

Seeing its prized poisonous mist dispelled by the flames, the Azure Water Beast roared in fury, its eyes now completely obscured by a raging crimson.

"Heh, you've got quite a temper, that's why you're so angry."

But it's alright this way...

Ji Qing said jokingly, his finger tracing the three-foot-long sword. After the sword emitted a dazzling golden light, Ji Qing engaged in battle with the Azure Water Beast.

It must be said that the Azure Water Beast is a very troublesome creature.

After Ji Qing engaged the Azure Water Beast in battle, he first swept his sword forward to force the Azure Water Beast back, but the Azure Water Beast blocked it with its powerful physical body.

Seeing that forcing the beast back was futile, Ji Qing decisively abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to attack, leaned back, and distanced himself from the Azure Water Beast.

"This guy's physical body is quite formidable; this is going to be a problem."

Ji Qing thought to himself, his eyes flashing as if he was thinking of a solution.

But the Azure Water Beast wouldn't give him time to think. It pushed off the ground with both legs and charged towards him at incredible speed.

Ji Qing tried to defend himself with his sword, but the beast was simply too strong, and their sizes were not even comparable, so he was sent flying by the Azure Water Beast.

After flying backwards several times in the air, Ji Qing forcibly twisted his body to stabilize himself. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, several talismans of different colors immediately shot towards the Azure Water Beast, forcing it back.

Ji Qing got a chance to catch his breath. Zhang Kou swallowed a Spirit Recovery Pill, and after his magic power recovered somewhat, he made his move.

This time, Ji Qing went all out, slashing at the Azure Water Beast with his sword again and again.

Under Ji Qing's series of attacks, no matter how strong the Azure Water Beast's physical body was, it gradually became unable to withstand them.

As Ji Qing slashed his sword into the back of the Azure Water Beast, a "whoosh" was heard as the sword pierced straight into its back.

The Azure Water Beast let out a heart-wrenching howl, its entire body trembling uncontrollably. It tried to resist, but Ji Qing reacted swiftly and slashed out with his sword, severing its head.

Bloody heads rolled all over the ground, soon staining the entire ground red.

According to Elder Jia, after the monsters are killed in this tournament, their heads need to be collected to determine the champion.

In short, whoever has the most monster heads in this tournament will be the champion.

Therefore, Ji Qing reached out and cleaned up the head of the Azure Water Beast.

After he finished doing all that, he finally left.

..........

As everyone knows, the champion of this tournament will be determined by the number of monster heads collected.

So some people will try to exploit the loopholes. Why don't they just rob other like-minded people? After all, there's no rule against doing that.

As long as they don't kill each other, they can do whatever they want.

So at this moment, on a secluded island, three cultivators seem to be secretly discussing something:

"Senior brother, we've already robbed people here several times, is it really possible that more people will come?" a handsome man asked dejectedly.

His name is Zhang Wei, and he is at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He is a disciple of the Core Formation Elder.

"Don't worry, kid. This is the lair of the sea lizard beasts. People will definitely come. As long as we wait here, we won't have to worry about them coming," the middle-aged man said confidently.

It should be noted that the Sea Lizard Beast is one of the easiest monsters to hunt among all level-one monsters. No cultivator would have any reason to miss this monster.

Furthermore, this hunting tournament is won by collecting the number of monster heads.

Therefore, no one should miss out on such a monstrous beast that is so easy to kill.

Not long ago, an unlucky junior brother came here to hunt monsters, but unfortunately he was ambushed and all his belongings were taken by them.

Zhang Mo felt a little uneasy and said with a hint of unease:

"Senior brother, why don't we turn back? This is going to offend too many people."

Ok?

withdraw?

Are you kidding me?

Withdrawal is impossible; it's impossible for us to withdraw in this lifetime.

Now that he has tasted the benefits, how could he possibly retreat?

The middle-aged man patted Zhang Mo on the shoulder with his large hand and said earnestly:

"Kid, don't be afraid. Follow me, and you'll eat nine meals a day. As long as we wear masks, who will recognize us?"

As long as we don't harm them, and they won't know us after the conference, how can we offend anyone? So you can rest assured.

The middle-aged man spoke, glancing up at the end of the chapter:

"If you don't give it your all, are you content to stay in the Qi Refining stage forever?"

"With me here, I'll win you a championship in Baoding. Then I'll give you a Foundation Establishment Pill so you can successfully establish your foundation, enjoy life, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life."

Hearing this promise, Zhang Mo felt a growing restlessness in his heart.

My senior is right. If we don't give it our all, our lives will be pretty much over before we know it.

His aptitude for cultivation is poor; without the Foundation Establishment Pill, his chances of successfully establishing his foundation are nothing short of delusional.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mo's eyes hardened:

"Senior brother is right. Now that we've finally gotten this opportunity, how can we be content if we don't give it our all?"

So, I'll do whatever you say, whatever you want me to do.
