C26 Digging a Hole Burying What You Need
"They -"
A surprised voice sounded from beside him. The Snow Qilin casually struck out with its palm and sent the opponent flying.
"Disperse and surround them!"
However, it was already too late. Those two words were enough to attract the attention of the others. Countless footsteps could be heard. Some of them were getting further and further away, while others were getting closer.
Her reaction was so fast! Although the visibility here wasn't high, her majestic aura was like a bright lamp in the darkness, attracting people's attention.
However, the difficult thing was that the Snow Qilin couldn't stop circulating its Genuine Qi to hide its aura. After all, once the Genuine Qi stopped, there was nothing she could do.
The Xue Qilin waved its sleeves and drew an arc of flames in the air.
"Flying Flame!"
With a single order, the flames around Yuan Gu started to tremble violently, turning into countless flaming arrows that shot out in all directions.
There was a sorrowful cry from the front as it once again fell into chaos.
Taking advantage of this gap, the Xue Qilin pulled Lo Qing's hand and then...
"Without the wind of spring, please sweep over from the Gate of Limit. After that, wrap around it tightly and turn around..."
Just this sentence alone caused an unbelievable change in the flow of air around them. A strong wind blew from all directions, and it started to spin with Xue Qilin and the other two people as the center.
"- Turn into a strong wind from the southeast!"
The powerful wind spread out in all directions and dispersed the sand. The explosive speed of the Snow Qilin was like an arrow that had left the bow as it rushed towards the chaotic crowd in front of it.
At the same time, the Flying Flame continued to appear in front of the Xue Qilin and fired. Every time the flames tore through the air, the people in front of the Xue Qilin would be hit by the fire arrows and fall to the ground.
As if piercing through a light veil, the Snow Qilin used the force of the wind to pierce through the surrounding net.
"What kind of demonic technique is this!" "How am I supposed to catch it!? That is a moving natural disaster..."
The chaotic sounds of discussion caught up to the Xue Qilin and pierced into her ears.
"What are you guys panicking for?!"
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from not far in front of the Xue Qilin.
Hwa Tian Ji? Just as the Xue Qilin was wondering how the other party could catch up to it in such a short period of time.
'It's here!'
He gently pushed Lo Qing and Gong Tianqing to the sides. The Snow Qilin's feet hit the ground, and its upper body instantly leaned forward due to inertia. She decided to take advantage of the momentum and flipped forward. After her body was turned upside down, her right leg drew a huge air blade and slashed forward.
Boom!
The blade of air collided with the sword light that was approaching from afar and then exploded.
The dust rolled in the air as a figure rushed out like a falcon. The violent wind force tore through the dust. The tip of the sword reflected a cold light as it pierced towards the Xue Qilin.
It was unbelievably fast! It was on completely different levels from Situ Mu!
The lightning around his body suddenly appeared. It wrapped around the sword tip that was already in front of him in an attempt to deflect it.
Although the sword had slightly deviated from its original path, it was only slightly off by a hair's breadth. However, the Snow Qilin had already reacted. She took a step forward, turned around, and dodged the attack. The two of them brushed past each other, but the sword Qi on the other party's sword still cut the right arm of the Snow Qilin.
"Hwa Tianji, your hospitality is really unique."
The Snow Qilin turned around and spoke sarcastically to the figure who was standing not far away with a sword in its hand.
"Senior Xue is flattering me."
Hwa Tianji was very relaxed. He even cupped his hands towards Xue Qilin.
"Since things have come to this point, there's no need for you to act so sanctimonious, is there?"
"Of course, of course. After all, Senior Xue is the little grandmaster of the Heavenly Jade Palace, so it is only natural for me to be respectful to you."
The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.
"Huh? Thinking about it, Hwa Tianji, your brain must be a bit damaged... You can't even understand the meaning behind my words. I am asking you why you have the face to put on that expression and poison me if you can't beat me." Xue Qilin's face was filled with ridicule. "Tsk tsk, what kind of bastard is that?"
However, the thickness of Hwa Tianji's skin had exceeded the Snow Qilin's imagination. The other party stood there without any shame or anger.
"Shameless."
"Ever since the ancient times, the winner is always the king and the loser is the bandit. No matter how despicable the method used by the winner, it would be diluted by the winner in the end. As for the loser..."
"Ha, do you think that the outcome is already decided?"
"You shouldn't have more than half of your Genuine Qi left, right?"
"So what? It's still enough to beat you down to the ground."
Xue Qilin snorted disdainfully and put on a look of disdain.
But it was true that she had been terrible, but the amount of True Qi she had consumed was not less than seventy percent, and with the unknown poison invading her body, it was estimated that the amount of True Qi she could use was less than fifty percent. Although her cultivation base was higher than Hwa Tianji's, they were both at the Heaven Stage, so the difference between them was not as big as heaven and earth.
In her current situation, she really did not have any chance of winning against Hwa Tianji, who was waiting for her. Unless she could kill Hwa Tianji in one strike, she did not plan to fight him head-on, because she did not know how long she could hold on if the battle reached a stalemate.
"Qing, take Qing and leave first. I'll stop them."
"But - "
"You should know that you guys will be in the way even if you stay here."
Lo Qing bit her lower lip, as if she was a little unwilling, but she still nodded.
"Y-Young Ancestor, you have to be careful."
"Qing, who do you take me to be?"
Xue Qilin replied to Gong Tianqing's worry with a big smile.
Then, she gave Lo Qing a meaningful glance.
Lo Qing first looked at the Xue Qilin with a worried expression, then looked deeply at Hwa Tianji.
"Sect Master Hua, our Heavenly Jade Palace will never forget your hospitality. Please take care of yourself."
After leaving this sentence, Lo Qing looked at Xue Qi worriedly, and the latter nodded at her.
"Little Martial Ancestor, you must be careful."
"Alright! Who do you all think I am?"
The Snow Qilin deliberately waved its hand with a dissatisfied expression. Then, it stared at Hwa Tianji with an ominous glint in its eyes and a ferocious smile gradually appeared on its face.
"I am the battle maniac, Xue Qilin!"
Lo Qing did not say anything else. Instead, she pulled Gong Tianqing's hand and quickly left into the distance.
Hwa Tianji didn't seem to want to stop the two of them from leaving. In other words, his target was only the Xue Qilin.
Very good! His slightly narrowed eyes instantly became golden in color, and his cat-like eyes shone with a faint light.
"However, do you really dare to attack me? Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Jade Palace? Although I am not in my best condition and am not confident that I can defeat you, it is still possible for me to fight until both of us are injured. "
"Senior Xue, you must be joking again. I naturally cherish my life, and I naturally do not dare to fight against Senior Xue alone - "
"Oh? Could it be that you rely on your disciples?"
Although there were many disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect, there were only a few who had reached the Earth Stage.
"Of course not."
"Pretending to be a ghost!"
Xue Qilin snorted. The other party probably wanted to use the effects of the poison to keep him alive.
However, she was wrong -
"My good friend is here."
Xue Qilin's eyes widened as it looked behind Hwa Tianji in disbelief.
There was an aura that was approaching Hwa Tianji at a high speed.
There was actually a second Heaven Stage!
The situation instantly became serious. Xue Qilin couldn't help but frown and cold sweat started to form on its forehead.
Whether this Heaven Stage was a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect or a helper that Hwa Tianji had invited, he had also come for her, and whether he was a friend or foe. The corner of Hwa Tianji's mouth curled up slightly, which was the best proof of this.
"Hwa Tianji, it seems that you have been digging this pit for a long time!"
"Senior Xue, you must be joking. I have put in a lot of effort to keep Senior Xue as a guest in the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
Who would believe you!? Xue Qilin naturally scoffed at his words.
However, the funny thing was that he actually foolishly jumped down and waited for someone else to bury him. Xue Qilin was secretly furious.
What the hell? There was only one person in the Heavenly Sword Sect who didn't dare to challenge him? That was nonsense!
However, this couldn't be blamed on the people of the Heavenly Jade Palace. After all, no one had expected that Hwa Tianji would be able to create another Heaven Stage out of thin air.
However, why did Hwa Tianji seem to have expected that it would be her? Or did Hwa Tianji originally plan to use this to deal with Ye Zhen, but he happened to be the one who came instead, so he ended up as the scapegoat?
