Death Approaches
"Jing Yang, don't you think something's wrong?" Qin Xiao asked, raising an eyebrow.
Jing Yang looked around and said, "I don't think anything is wrong. Young master, do you sense anything?"
Qin Xiao shook his head. "I can't put my finger on it. I just feel like something is lurking in the dark."
"What is it?" Jing Yang frowned. "Young master, do you think there's a Nightwalker hiding in the dark?"
"That's highly unlikely, isn't it? I've never seen a Nightwalker before, but if there really is one hiding in the dark, we should be able to sense it. "
"There's only so much space in this boat. We've already checked it thoroughly, so we shouldn't have missed anything."
"Plus, this boat has been drifting in the endless Universe Ocean for who knows how long. Judging from the shriveled state of the corpse, the Nightwalker must have been feeding on it for a long time. "
"After feeding on it, the Nightwalker should have left. He wouldn't have stayed in this boat all this time."
Jing Yang's words made sense, but Qin Xiao couldn't quite put his finger on it. He just had a bad feeling about it.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a cry of pain was heard. It wasn't loud, but it was like a sudden clap of thunder.
Qin Xiao and Jing Yang's expressions changed. They quickly rushed in the direction of the sound. The others also heard the news and came over, but they didn't know what was going on.
By the time Qin Xiao arrived, a black shadow had quickly left. Another figure had fallen to the ground, having lost all signs of life.
Dead!
The Kunpeng Ruler was dead!
It had only been a short moment, but he was dead!
Seeing the dead Kunpeng Ruler on the ground, everyone's mood took a heavy blow. Endless anger burned within them.
Anger, hatred, and murderous intent were all directed at the black shadow.
"It's the Nightwalker, a Celestial Venerate Nightwalker. He really hid himself well. He actually managed to escape our detection," Jing Yang said coldly.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses. This was the Nightwalker?
Sure enough, it was as mysterious and unfathomable as it was described. Walking in the darkness was also darkness itself.
Without the aura of life, it was very difficult to use Divine Sense to detect Nightwalkers.
They had been in the immortal boat for so long, and there were so many of them, but none of them had discovered the Nightwalker hiding in the dark.
This Nightwalker was also quite insidious. He had been hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Once he found the opportunity, he gave everyone a fatal blow.
To claim the life of the Kunpeng Sovereign with a single strike was truly ruthless.
"Don't run!"
Qin Xiao's voice was extremely cold as she chased after them. Jing Yang didn't hesitate and said to everyone, "All of you stay here and be careful."
With that, Jing Yang chased after him.
As the two chased, the Nightwalker fled. He had no intention of fighting Qin Xiao and Jing Yang. Instead, he was focused on escaping.
"Kekeke, humans, you can't catch me. You can't catch me. Hehehe." The Nightwalker turned back and taunted Qin Xiao and Jing Yang.
The Nightwalker didn't have a fixed form. He didn't have a divine body, only an illusory body formed by a mass of dark energy.
His pitch-black eyes were especially eerie and eerie. They exuded an extremely cold aura that was enough to make anyone shudder.
The Nightwalker was indeed fast, and he was also a Celestial Venerate Nightwalker. He wasn't weak either.
In a direct confrontation, he might not be able to defeat Qin Xiao and Jing Yang. However, he was smart enough not to fight Qin Xiao and Jing Yang. Instead, he focused on escaping.
He had been prepared to flee from the start. He hadn't hesitated at all and had taken the initiative.
"Humph, Nightwalker, it's too early for you to be so arrogant. I'll take your life as a sacrifice to the Kunpeng. "Qin Xiao snorted angrily.
However, the Nightwalker's smile became even more eerie. "You want to kill me? You have to be able to catch up with me first.
"I'm more familiar with this immortal boat than you are. You can't stop me. When we enter the Endless Universe Ocean, it'll be even more impossible for you to catch me. I'm much faster than you in the Endless Universe Ocean.
"I've been sleeping in the immortal boat for so long. I didn't expect a feast to come to me as soon as I woke up. Fortunately, you two Celestial Venerates are here. Otherwise, you would all become my delicacies and I could slowly enjoy them.
"What a pity. It's really a pity."
Delicacies?
They were just delicacies in the eyes of the Nightwalker?
These words made Qin Xiao feel deeply humiliated.
The Nightwalker's provocation also made Qin Xiao very angry.
Qin Xiao and Jing Yang tried their best to catch up with the Nightwalker, but the situation was just as the Nightwalker had said. They tried their best to catch up, but the distance between them was getting bigger and bigger.
Soon, the Nightwalker left the immortal boat and entered the Endless Universe Ocean.
The Nightwalker originally lived in the Endless Universe Ocean, so he had already adapted to the living environment of the Endless Universe Ocean. To the Nightwalker, the Endless Universe Ocean was like Qin Xiao and the others in the Primordial Universe.
There was no binding force, so they could do whatever they wanted.
Therefore, once the Nightwalker entered the Endless Universe Ocean, it was impossible to catch him unless they were much stronger or had more people.
Once Qin Xiao and Jing Yang entered the Endless Universe Ocean, the binding force would be very strong. Not only would their strength be greatly reduced, but their speed would also be greatly limited.
When they reached the edge, Qin Xiao and Jing Yang had to stop. It was meaningless to continue chasing.
Besides, if they continued to chase, it was very likely that they would fall into the Nightwalker's trap and be attacked by him.
Once they entered the Endless Universe Ocean, the situation would be very difficult to control. Therefore, Qin Xiao naturally wouldn't enter the Endless Universe Ocean so easily. Besides, Jing Yang reminded Qin Xiao to stay calm and not be impulsive.
Seeing that Qin Xiao and Jing Yang had stopped chasing, the Nightwalker, who had fled far away, stopped and looked at Qin Xiao and Jing Yang with a sinister smile.
"Hahaha, humans, you're not chasing anymore?" The Nightwalker's voice was full of provocation and playfulness. "Are you afraid? How cowardly. You don't dare to chase anymore? You're not going to avenge your partner? "
"It's been a long time since I met a human. I wanted to have some fun with you, but I didn't expect you to be so cowardly. How boring."
"Haha, speaking of which, your partner's Vital Essence Godly Body is really good. It's so delicious. It's a pity that we didn't have enough time to finish it. "
"Fresh godly bodies are still the best. Those that have been dead for a long time are too hard to swallow."
Qin Xiao's face was cold and his brows were deeply furrowed. Qin Xiao had also understood the meaning of the Nightwalker's words.
It seemed that the corpses on the fairy boat had really been devoured by the Nightwalker.
After devouring them, the Nightwalker had stayed in the fairy boat to digest and sleep. He had broken through to the Celestial Master level in one fell swoop.
He had actually stayed in the fairy boat for an endless period of time.
In order to wait for others to come in, the Nightwalker had really gone all out.
The endless anger in his chest could only be forcibly suppressed at this time.
Qin Xiao also knew that the Nightwalker's actions were nothing more than a provocation to lure him and Jing Yang out.
It seemed that the Nightwalker had made some preparations. Once he and Jing Yang really entered the Endless Universe Ocean, they would probably be in danger.
In the Endless Universe Ocean, Qin Xiao couldn't see any advantage at all.
Besides, he didn't know the Nightwalker's strength at all.
If he acted too blindly and impulsively, it might lead to worse consequences.
Jing Yang also told Qin Xiao not to enter the Endless Universe Ocean. This was definitely the Nightwalker's plot, and he couldn't be fooled easily.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Qin Xiao could only give up in the end. He didn't act impulsively.
He just stared at the Nightwalker and said coldly, "Don't use such a cheap trick. If you dare to fight, come to the deck. Let's have a good fight."
"When we came out to walk the Endless Universe Ocean, we thought of all the dangers and were already prepared to die."
"If we die, we can only blame ourselves for not being strong enough. We can't blame others."
"But one day, I will make you pay with your blood."
"Hmph, arrogant and ignorant human, I won't play with you anymore." The Nightwalker sneered and entered the Endless Universe Ocean. He quickly left and disappeared from Qin Xiao and Jing Yang's sight.
Crack!
After sending the Nightwalker away, Qin Xiao clenched his fists so tightly that they made cracking sounds.
He hated it!
Qin Xiao's heart was indeed full of hatred, extreme hatred. But no matter how much he hated it, what could he do?
This was a sense of powerlessness, a sense of helplessness when one's strength was inferior.
Along the way, Qin Xiao had experienced this feeling. This truth had always been deeply engraved in his heart.
Jing Yang sighed helplessly, shook his head, and comforted him. "Young Master, you don't have to be too sad and blame yourself. We didn't want this to happen, and we didn't expect it at all."
"Speaking of which, we are still too weak and have too little experience."
Yes, they were too weak. Their lack of experience was also one of the reasons, but it was only a secondary reason.
The real reason was that they were too weak. This was a hard injury that couldn't be helped.
The reason for everything was strength. In the Great Thousand World, the most important thing was strength.
When such a thing happened, it was indeed something that couldn't be helped. Qin Xiao also couldn't do anything about it. He could only feel helpless.
He had seen many life-and-death separations, but it was still so painful every time.
Qin Xiao and Jing Yang returned to the corpse of the Kun Peng Ruler. Everyone was a little disappointed and pained.
"Sigh, I really didn't expect that the Kun Peng would die in less than 10,000 years after we left the Hong Meng Universe." The Lord Of Nine Dragons shook his head and sighed sadly.
Everyone had been in high spirits and their fighting spirit had been high. However, the death of the Kun Peng had really dampened everyone's spirits and made them truly see the cruelty of the Great Thousand World.
"Yes, we really didn't expect this. We all know that the Great Thousand World is very dangerous. Walking in the endless Universe Ocean, there are dangers everywhere. However, we didn't expect that the danger would come so quickly and reach us so quickly. "
"We are too weak in front of such a powerful and dangerous force. We can't even withstand a single blow. If we're not careful, we'll die here. "
"The road behind us is filled with endless danger. The death of the Kun Peng reminded us once again that we must be very, very careful. Otherwise, we won't even know when we'll die. "The Lord of the Desolate Land shook his head with a grave expression.
The Lord of the Heavenly Court looked sad. Needless to say, he had a close relationship with the Kun Peng. Naturally, he was very sad about the Kun Peng's death.
"Kun Peng, we agreed to go to the Sacred Region together. Why did you leave so soon?" The Lord of the Heavenly Court shook his head.
