The night was as quiet as stagnant water.
The wind was as sharp as a blade.
In this silent night, Xu Qing's figure pierced through the night like a blade.
Since he had already made the move, Xu Qing couldn't care less. These merfolk cultivators had taken the initiative to find him, so he could only kill him!
Even though the other party was the third highness' men, since they had attacked him, Xu Qing was prepared to offend the third highness.
If the worst comes to the worst… he would head out to sea overnight after killing everyone and leave the Seven Blood Eyes.
Although it was a pity, Xu Qing didn't hesitate much at this point.
He got closer and closer to the fleeing merfolk woman.
However, this merfolk woman's cultivation base wasn't ordinary and she had many talismans. She didn't even hesitate to burn her cultivation base. In fact, after sensing that Xu Qing was about to reach her, she used three talismans that looked like flight talismans in fear of her life.
This allowed her speed to reach an extremely astonishing level.
In an instant, the distance between her and Xu Qing widened greatly and she arrived at the harbor.
Although she had distanced herself, this small gap wasn't enough to make her relax. Her mental capacity had long reached its limit with the death of her followers and her sister in a dying state.
Xu Qing's ruthlessness caused her to feel an unprecedented sense of danger. The coldness in his eyes made her tremble intensely.
It was only when she saw the familiar magic boat in front of her at the harbor that the crisis in her heart eased and hope appeared in her eyes.
She no longer thought about why the Dao Protectors didn't come. At this moment, all she wanted to do was to step onto the magic boat ahead as soon as possible and be under the protection of her lover.
"You killed my clan brother and my clansmen, and caused me to be in such a sorry state. Xu Qing… I'll definitely get the third highness to expel you from the Seven Blood Eyes. That will be my time to take revenge!"
The merfolk woman gritted her teeth and her eyes turned red. She even began to burn her bloodline and her speed soared again.
Xu Qing's gaze grew increasingly cold. He knew the direction the other party was heading in. That was where the third highness' magic boat was anchored. Even from afar, Xu Qing could see the third highness' huge and luxurious magic boat.
It was brightly lit and the sound of singing and dancing could be heard.
The killing intent in Xu Qing's eyes intensified. He didn't care about the expenditure, as he burned the flight talismans in exchange for an even faster speed. However, he was still a little slow in the end.
Ten breaths later, the merfolk woman finally got close to the third highness' magic boat under the speed boost of her bloodline and cultivation burning. She immediately jumped onto the boat. As she landed on the boat, her body staggered and she let out a miserable cry for help.
As the voice rang out, many of the third highness' followers immediately rushed out of the magic boat and guarded the surroundings.
The third highness also quickly walked out of the cabin and arrived beside the merfolk woman.
"Honey, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
The third highness looked at his pitiful lover who was in a sorry state. His heart ached as he gently helped her up and saw her sister's dying head at the side.
"What happened?" The third highness' face revealed anger.
At the same time, Xu Qing caught up and arrived outside the third highness' magic boat. He stood on the sea with a cold expression as he looked at the merfolk woman who was being helped up by the third highness.
"It's this person! Sir Li, it's Xu Qing who killed my clan brother. My sister and I went to reason with him, but this villain cruelly destroyed my sister's body and killed many of my clansmen. Even I had no choice but to burn my bloodline to escape this calamity."
"Sir Li, you have to uphold justice for me. Be it from an individualistic perspective or the alliance perspective, my merfolk race won't let this matter rest, especially for my sister. Look at what state she has fallen into." The merfolk woman was filled with grief and indignation. She gritted her teeth and pointed at Xu Qing on the surface of the sea.
At this moment, the younger sister's head in her hand slowly woke up. She looked at the third highness with her dying breath and cried.
"Such nerves, you're really courting death!" When the third highness heard this, his expression turned cold and he slowly spoke.
The surrounding followers also emitted murderous intent.
Xu Qing fell silent. At that moment, the sea breeze blew over, causing his Daoist robe to rustle. His long hair also fluttered in the wind. He looked at the third highness and then at the sea outside the harbor, making a decision in his heart.
The merfolk woman finally heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. When she looked at Xu Qing, her eyes revealed intense resentment.
She had already thought of how to deal with the other party next. She even felt that her sister's words back then were a little soft-hearted. She wanted to inflict on him a punishment ten times worse than her sister had said and make this person regret coming to this world.
"Thank you, Sir Li. Please…" The merfolk woman's eyes were filled with viciousness. Before she finished speaking, the third highness gently interrupted.
"Honey, you're mistaken. I was saying, how dare you, honey."
"Sir Li, you…" The merfolk woman was stunned. She lifted her head and looked at the third highness. What she saw was still that familiar face. It was no different from before. In fact, his expression still contained the heartache from earlier. His gaze was also extremely gentle, seemingly containing deep love.
This made her think that she had heard wrongly. Just when she was about to speak again, the third highness gently lifted his left hand and patted the top of her head as usual.
The merfolk woman's entire body trembled and her head shattered into pieces.
