Chapter 948: The Heart of the Strong
Dugu Qiuyu felt a heartbreaking pain in his neck, and then lost control of his body.
The world was turning, and everything in his eyes quickly became blurry and gray.
Vaguely, he seemed to see his headless body falling from the sky.
He realized something.
I failed!
In the moment of life and death, he thought of the person who haunted him and the days when he followed Mu Yu from the Demon Saint Star back to the Destiny Star.
He would never forget the day when Muyu took the infant Xue Wanyun and rescued him from the True Spirit Sea.
How great it would be if he hadn't been so impulsive and eager to reveal his feelings, but had stayed by Makutama's side!
…
Boom boom!
Dugu Qiuyu's huge body and head fell to the ground one after another, making two loud noises, frightening away all the nearby birds and beasts.
At this time, the golden light in the air gradually converged, revealing Duan Qing's scarred body.
He held back the severe pain in his body and looked around. He breathed a long sigh of relief when he found Dugu Qiuyu's body separated on the ground.
After all, he won!
After taking a look at the miserable condition on his body, he smiled bitterly and felt very complicated at the same time.
Although as Xing Wuji said, the Source Pill he integrated was the obstacle for him to break through the spiritual realm.
But in this battle with Xing Wuji, if it weren't for the powerful recovery ability brought by Yuan Dan, he might have died from Dugu Qiuyu's death blow just now.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings depend on them. This is the perfect way to describe his situation.
Duan Qing sighed, took out a brand new piece of clothing and put it on. Then with a thought, thousands of black hairs suddenly grew from his bald head.
Duan Qing casually tied up his long hair with a piece of cloth, and then landed on Dugu Qiuyu's body on the ground.
At this time, Dugu Qiuyu had no life left and was already too dead to die.
He closed his eyes for a moment, then reached out and made a gentle move.
A delicate gourd flew out of the flesh and blood on Dugu Qiuyu's neck and was caught firmly by Duan Qing.
Looking at the gourd sword in his hand, he felt very lucky.
Ever since Lao Gui gave him Senior Yuan Wuwu's gourd sword, this treasure had saved him more than once.
Just now, he desperately used the Vermillion Bird Feather to hit a wound on Dugu Qiuyu's neck. Then he put the Gourd Sword into the wound and activated the Gourd Sword with all his strength. Only then did he use the sword energy of the Gourd Sword to kill him in one fell swoop. Dugu seeks jade.
After putting away the sword in the gourd, Duan Qing turned his attention to Dugu Qiuyu's body and frowned slightly.
Dugu Qiuyu was a real spiritual golden-winged roc, and his body was worth a lot of money, so he naturally didn't want to let it go.
It's a pity that his corpse is too big and his spirit beast ring can't fit in it!
Since his spirit beast ring was too small, it could only hold Dugu Qiuyu's head at best.
Even if it is a dead object at this time, it can be contained with a storage bracelet.
But his storage bracelet can't hold such a big thing!
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly thought of something and started searching carefully on Dugu Qiuyu's body.
Soon, he found what he wanted in the scales between Dugu Qiuyu's sharp claws.
A gift bracelet and a spirit animal ring.
He first put away the storage bracelet, and then checked the situation inside the spirit beast ring.
What surprised him was that there was nothing in Dugu Qiuyu's spirit beast ring.
This birdman doesn't have a spirit beast, so why would he get a spirit beast ring?
Could it be that it is just used to show off?
Duan Qing was speechless.
However, he was speechless, but he was very satisfied with the size of Dugu Qiuyu's spirit beast ring, which was as wide as a thousand feet.
Without thinking, he directly recognized the spirit beast ring as its owner, and then put all of Dugu Qiuyu's corpses into the spirit beast ring.
After doing all this, he did not stay at the scene for long, and while the effect of Zuo Shen Shu was still there, he hurriedly flew south.
…
Three days later, there was a barren mountain somewhere near Taisheng Sect.
Duan Qing and Xiao Sheng stood quietly, looking at He Qicu who was kneeling in front of two soil slopes, silent.
After a long time, He Qizhu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up from the ground, and looked at Duan Qing, his eyes full of perseverance.
"Senior Brother Duan, I'm causing trouble for you!"
He had to follow Duan Qing to Youzhou this time. He originally wanted to pay homage to his parents who were buried here, but he didn't expect to cause Duan Qingping so much trouble.
Duan Qing waved his hand: "A gentleman observes filial piety, this is nothing."
"It's just that if this happens again next time, Junior Brother He had better tell me clearly first."
He Qizhu nodded seriously, and then looked towards the towering Taisheng Mountain in the distance, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
Duan Qing noticed He Qicu's expression and seemed to realize something, and asked, "What is on your mind, Junior Brother He?"
He Qizhu shook his head subconsciously, and then thought of Duan Qing's words just now, and sighed deeply: "I originally thought I had let go of what happened back then, but when I knelt in front of my parents' graves again, I discovered that I was in the past. You’re just fooling yourself!”
Duan Qing and Xiao Sheng didn't speak, waiting quietly for He Qizhu to continue.
Next, He Qizhu told the two of them about his life experience.
It turns out that He Qicu's father, He Qimiao, was originally He Changzai's only disciple. When he came to Youzhou to complete a sect mission, he accidentally met Guan Yue, who was the disciple of the Taisheng Sect leader.
After getting to know Guan Yue, He Qimiao fell deeply into it and never returned to the Shinto Sect, even breaking up with He Changzai.
Later, He Qimiao stayed in Taisheng Sect and became a Taoist couple with Guanyue.
How wonderful that her thoughts are so simple, she just wants to spend her old age with Guan Yue.
However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Because He Qimiao was born in the Shinto Sect, his position in the Taisheng Sect has always been awkward.
The Shinto Sect and the Taihuang Sect have always been at odds, and the Taisheng Sect and the Taihuang Sect are in the same boat, so most of the Taisheng Sect members are dissatisfied with He Qimiao.
Originally, when the leader of the Taisheng Sect, Guanyue's master, was in power, he always supported Guanyue and suppressed the opinions of the Taisheng Sect on He Qimiao.
But in an accident, Guanyue's master died, and the dissatisfaction with He Qimiao in the Taisheng Sect finally broke out, persecuting him in every possible way and forcing He Qimiao to death.
Guanyue was disheartened and sent the young He Qiliao to the Shinto Sect. After handing him over to He Changzai, he returned to the Taisheng Sect and committed suicide.
After telling his life story, He Qiliao looked very lonely.
At the beginning, he had always hated the Taisheng Sect because of the fate of his parents.
But after living with He Changzai in the Shinto Sect for so many years, his hatred for the Taisheng Sect has faded, and he has always believed so.
Because it was the entire Taisheng Sect that persecuted his father.
In front of a sect, his personal strength was too weak, and even if he wanted to take revenge, he had no way to start.
With no hope of revenge and the comfortable environment of the Shinto Sect, he tried not to think about the past and tried to escape.
However, he was caught twice this time and was at the mercy of others. He deeply realized his weakness.
If you just escape, you will never become a strong person.
Only the strong can dominate their own destiny.
From now on, he doesn't want to escape anymore, nor does he want to deceive himself and deceive himself into forgetting his hatred for the Taisheng Sect!
