1349: He Was No Longer the Familiar Jiu Ming III

He Was No Longer the Familiar Jiu Ming III

With every step he took, Hu Qing's heart jolted. His eyes were filled with fear as he could not help but step backward.0

From the beginning to the end, Feng Ruqing's gaze did not leave Jiu Ming. Not knowing why, she felt a baffling sense of panic when she saw the current Jiu Ming.

"Jiu Ming!"

Her voice trembled.

Jiu Ming did not respond to her. It was as if he had not heard her. He took a small step forward and stopped before Hu Qing.

Everyone present subconsciously stepped aside. The current Jiu Ming instilled more fear than Hu Qing did earlier.

Hu Qing was just greatly angered and his anger had gotten the better of him.

However, Jiu Ming… was like a murderous deity that climbed out of hell, chilling and terrifying.

"Bastard!"

Hu Qing shrieked as he threw a punch at Jiu Ming.

Jiu Ming still did not flinch this time, and the long sword in his hand struck the fist with a flash of light and hit Hu Qing with a boom, sending him flying. Hu Qing was covered in dust when he landed as he looked extremely disheveled.

Hu Qing's eyes were full of shock. He did not know what method Jiu Ming had used to raise his cultivation, but he very clearly understood that he could no longer dream of killing Feng Ruqing easily today.

Rather than wasting his time here, he should wait for the next time to seek her out!

After all, he guessed that he could only use such great strength once…

Thinking about this, Hu Qing gritted his teeth as he turned around and planned to leave.

However, just as he was thinking about leaving, Jiu Ming had already caught up with him and descended from the air to the ground, stepping on Hu Qing's head. Hu Qing's head was firmly pinned to the ground as Jiu Ming raised his fist to ruthlessly smash down on Hu Qing's head.

The ground opened up into a pit as his whole head was being pressed into the ground. He was in intense pain and was unable to breathe properly.

Hu Qing was ready to cry.

It was not easy for him to live again through possession. Was he going to die again without even living a full day in this new host?

Although he was dissatisfied that he had possessed an old man, this old man had indeed a level of cultivation that was not too bad. It was really too difficult for another Holy Warrior to die on this mainland. He did not have the patience to slowly break through to a higher tier and simply wanted to possess someone with strong cultivation…

"Ah ah ah!"

In such an urgent situation, Hu Qing finally let out a piercing shriek as his body suddenly bounced back up and forcefully broke Jiu Ming's hold. He climbed back up looking extremely disheveled.

"Ninth Emperor! Wait till I, Hu Qing, return the next time. I will definitely claim your bastardly life!"

Even if he had to leave looking disheveled and embarrassed, Hu Qing was not willing to admit defeat. Taking advantage of the fact that Jiu Ming had yet to catch up with him, he glared at Feng Ruqing and quickly rushed into the void, using all his energy to escape.

In a blink of an eye, he had disappeared from everyone's sight.

The crowd was a little dazed, perhaps they had never expected Hu Qing to have been so easily chased away.

Just right before they could sigh in relief, Jiu Ming's cold gaze turned toward them.

His gaze was expressionless, so chilling that it was shocking…

"Qing Qing!"

Feng Chen pulled Feng Ruqing to his side as his gaze was serious. "He is not the Jiu Ming you knew."

Feng Ruqing had not said a word because she, too, realized that Jiu Ming seemed to have become someone else.

His eyes… no longer reflected any compassion! 

***

Zong Fu had long been stunned to his spot.

His mind was still buzzing, replaying the final words Hu Qing had said before leaving.

He said, 'Ninth Emperor…'

Who was the Ninth Emperor he was talking about?

Subconsciously, Zong Fu's eyes turned toward Feng Ruqing and his face paled. His body only managed to stop trembling when he clenched his fists tightly.
