609: Chapter 609 Natal Divine Soul Attack

"I am not provoking you, I just want to kill you."

"Hahaha~"

"Only at the fifth rank, yet you dare to boast about killing the great Starry Ink Python clan. You are…"

"Clang~"

Before it could finish speaking, Xiao Weiqing appeared above the Starry Ink Python's head and slashed its single horn with a blade.

A powerful force acted upon the Starry Ink Python, pushing it a thousand meters across the lake floor.

"You talk too much; you are destined to have only one end today."

"Human, you deserve to die!"

The Starry Ink Python was furious.

It opened its gaping maw, and a powerful suction force pulled everything in the vicinity into its mouth.

Xiao Weiqing remained motionless, instead revealing a hint of mockery.

"Child's play!"

"Mountain Elephant!"

He slashed out.

The entire lake floor overturned; mud and sand mixed with the Black Spring lake water formed a tsunami, rushing toward the Starry Ink Python.

Seeing this, the Starry Ink Python dared not be careless. It stretched out its thousand-zhang body, and the part below its middle suddenly stiffened, slamming toward Xiao Weiqing like a Heaven-Reaching Pillar, instantly splitting the tsunami apart.

The two energies collided, creating a vacuum zone on the lake floor.

The disturbance at the bottom of the lake caught the attention of the two people above the surface.

"Are you sure you won't go help your companion? A mere Star Lord Realm cultivator is no match for a Dominator Realm Starry Ink Python."

The black-robed Aorui was blocked by Leibo, who was trying to use words to distract him.

"If you surrender, I can go help my companion."

Leibo said.

"That won't do."

The black-robed Aorui shook his head.

"I don't know who ordered you, but you and I have no grudges. Let me leave, and I won't come back."

Leibo snorted coldly.

"Who would dare order us? If it weren't for accepting an S-rank mission, you would have been slaughtered the moment we saw you."

"An S-rank mission?"

The black-robed Aorui's pupils contracted, and he blurted out:

"You are from the Holy Land?"

"Correct, but there is no prize."

Leibo seized the opportunity to close in, expanding a yellow-earth world that enveloped Aorui.

"Damn it, a Domain!"

The black-robed Aorui tore off his black robe, revealing a dark black body with mysterious, unknown water ripples appearing around him.

"Water-element Dharma Body?"

"Is this the reason you traded with the Starry Ink Python?"

Aorui did not answer. He knew that he couldn't escape without defeating Leibo, and he had to do it before the person at the bottom of the lake came out.

That person at the bottom of the lake was able to fight a Dominator Realm Starry Ink Python with Star Lord Realm strength; the level of terror of his power could be imagined.

"Die!"

A furious shout.

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the lake.

A flash of Dao light knocked the Starry Ink Python back again.

Xiao Weiqing quickly discovered that at the bottom of the lake, his attacks were significantly weakened and it was difficult to inflict effective damage. On the contrary, the Starry Ink Python was in its element in this Black Spring lake, and its injuries healed quickly.

The Starry Ink Python hissed and roared, its body slowly moving forward, closing in on Xiao Weiqing, staring at each other from a thousand meters away.

"Hmm?"

"Something is wrong."

Xiao Weiqing frowned. He seemed to have overlooked a phenomenon: he had exchanged several moves with the Starry Ink Python, but the Starry Ink Python had never strayed too far from where it first appeared.

Even when knocked away, it would slowly move back each time.

"That makes things easier."

Xiao Weiqing quickly approached the Starry Ink Python.

"Domain, open!"

A silent golden world expanded.

With Xiao Weiqing as the center, the lake water within a one-kilometer radius at the bottom of the lake was directly vaporized. The water above the Domain churned, the lake surface looked like boiling water, and the mud and sand at the bottom began to melt.

"What!"

The Starry Ink Python was greatly alarmed.

"This is a human's Domain power?"

"Why is it so terrifying?"

"Run!"

The Starry Ink Python dared not stay here any longer.

Its huge tail plunged a thousand zhang into the mud and sand, then it suddenly pulled something out from inside and fled rapidly.

Xiao Weiqing didn't have time to check what was underground and hurriedly gave chase.

However, after chasing for a while, Xiao Weiqing discovered that even with his Domain expanded, he couldn't catch up to the Starry Ink Python at the bottom of the Black Spring lake, and the distance between them was increasing.

"Go up."

Xiao Weiqing retracted his Domain, turned into a stream of light, and rushed out of the lake surface, flying at a low altitude, his Divine Soul constantly locked onto the Starry Ink Python at the bottom of the lake.

After speeding for hundreds of kilometers, Xiao Weiqing caught up to the Starry Ink Python.

"Dharma Image!"

A thousand-meter-tall golden giant rushed into the bottom of the Black Spring lake.

"Caught you."

"Get up for me!"

The golden giant grabbed the Starry Ink Python's tail, swung it around at the bottom of the lake, and threw the Starry Ink Python out of the lake.

Xiao Weiqing's figure flashed, and he arrived above the Starry Ink Python.

Sensing a deadly crisis, the Starry Ink Python's already terrifying face became even more ferocious.

"Let's die together!"

The single horn on the Starry Ink Python's head suddenly lit up.

Instantly, a terrifying Divine Soul power locked onto Xiao Weiqing. However, even though the single horn on its head cracked, Xiao Weiqing showed no abnormalities, as if he had not been attacked at all from beginning to end.

"Seamless Soul Slash!"

"Clang!"

The hundred-meter-long moon ember slashed onto the top of the Starry Ink Python's head. The Starry Ink Python's thousand-zhang body suddenly stiffened, its life aura rapidly withered, and it fell from mid-air.

"Why…?"

As its Divine Soul vanished, the Starry Ink Python couldn't figure out why its natal Divine Soul attack had absolutely no effect on Xiao Weiqing.

Boom~~

The massive corpse of the Starry Ink Python smashed onto the surface of the Black Spring lake, causing huge waves to spread in all directions.

"Whew~"

"It's a good thing I have the Soul-Silent Armor."

Xiao Weiqing discovered that the Soul-Silent Armor's energy was more than half depleted. If not for the Soul-Silent Armor, he didn't know if he could have blocked that Divine Soul attack.

...

When Xiao Weiqing found Leibo, Leibo was sitting on the shore resting.

Not far from him, Aorui was buried in the ground with only his head exposed, on the verge of death.

"Xiao Weiqing, where is the Starry Ink Python?"

"Slaughtered."

"You're awesome!"

Leibo gave a thumbs up, witnessing Xiao Weiqing's strength once again.

"Does our mission count as finished?"

"Yes, it's finished."

"I will notify the client now and have them come over."

Half a day later.

Above Black Spring No. 77, a small spaceship landed.

The spaceship door opened, and three people walked out.

A woman, followed by a middle-aged man and an old man.

The woman and the old man had average strength, only at the Star Lord Realm, while the man had Dominator Realm strength, slightly weaker than Leibo, looking like a bodyguard.

"Landili has met the two gentlemen. May I ask what the two gentlemen are called?"

As the client, Landili only knew the mission was accepted by Holy Land members, but didn't know who accepted it. This was a form of protection for Holy Land members undertaking missions.

"My name is Leibo, and his name is Xiao Weiqing."

"The mission is complete; you should confirm it."

"However, you need to communicate with the Holy Land regarding the reward to see if it needs to be recalculated."

"Why?"

Landili asked.

"Hmph, you have the nerve to ask? There was a Dominator Realm Starry Exotic Beast at the bottom of the lake."

"What?!"

Landili was greatly shocked.

"The corpse is floating on the lake surface; you can go see for yourself. Of course, only look; that is our spoils of war."

Landili gave the middle-aged man a look, the middle-aged man nodded and disappeared.

Three minutes later, the middle-aged man appeared behind the woman again.

"There is indeed a Starry Ink Python, at the Dominator Realm."

The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Weiqing and Leibo, then added:

"However, the item is missing."

Hearing this, Landili's pupils contracted. She didn't expect that the two people in front of her had actually killed even a Dominator Realm Starry Ink Python.

"Don't worry, the two of you. We will re-communicate with the Holy Land regarding the reward. As for the Starry Ink Python, I truly do not know. I am very sorry; the Starry Ink Python's corpse belongs to you."

"However, I must ask you both to return the item from the bottom of the lake."

"The item from the bottom of the lake?"

"What item at the bottom of the lake?"

Leibo looked at Xiao Weiqing in confusion.
