C27 I Have Long Feet and I Can Walk

At this moment, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect had already surrounded them. Other than their swords, they also brought their Crossbows. This was naturally a countermeasure to deal with a Heaven Stage expert like Xue Qilin.

Even if a Heaven Stage expert faced the rain of arrows that rained down on them, they could only choose to retreat. There was too much of them. No matter how strong a person was, it was difficult for him to fight against four opponents with just two fists. Not to mention that the end of the arrows that had already been loaded were still connected to the chains. Even if they were not shot, as long as they were wrapped by the chain, it would be enough to cause a great hindrance to her, especially since Hwa Tianji was still eyeing her covetously.

"So what are Senior Xue's plans? Is it that I have good intentions, or is it that you insist on refusing a toast and drinking a forfeit? "

"Is that so?! There's actually still room for me to choose?"

One had to admit that the Xue Qilin's current situation was just as Hwa Tianji had said. There was only one choice - to resist as much as possible, or to surrender without putting up a fight?

If the situation continued like this, then when the second Heaven Stage arrived, it would be really difficult for her to fly.

She was not conceited enough to fight against two Heaven Stage cultivators at the same time - no, not even in her best condition.

What was even more worth pondering over was whether or not Hwa Tianji only wanted him to stay as a guest - putting him under house arrest was as simple as that. Perhaps he had long wanted to kill him for being one of the most powerful warriors in the Heavenly Jade Palace.

As it was said that one must get rid of the roots when cutting the grass. Since he was determined to have a high position in the Heavenly Jade Palace, then he would be able to greatly weaken the strength of the Heavenly Jade Palace and avoid any future troubles if he decided to settle the score with her.

When Xue Qilin thought about it, he felt that what Hwa Tianji said about him being a guest might really be just an excuse. His real goal was probably to make him feel at ease and be on his guard. He would then choose to surrender and go back on his word to kill him.

After all, although he was the head of a great sect, he was still using poison, a dirty trick that couldn't be seen by the public.

There was only one choice!

"Your good intentions..."

The surrounding sparks flew in the air, and lightning appeared.

"I think it's better to feed it to the dogs - Flying Flame!"

With a wave of his sleeve, numerous fire arrows shot towards the center of the crowd. The attack only concerned the disturbance, so it wasn't precise. However, a large part of it still attacked Hwa Tianji under the command of the Xue Qilin.

In the next instant, the Flying Flame shot out and the Snow Qilin shouted, "Explosion!" It caused an explosion at the bottom of its feet, and with the force of the explosion, it shot out towards the direction where no one was.

However, Hwa Tianji's reaction was also very fast.

Like a violent gale of wind, a ferocious aura assaulted them from behind. The Snow Qilin turned around in the air and swung its sword towards them.

Just as the Snow Qilin was about to attack, the Genuine Qi in its body suddenly stopped.

It was poison!

The tip of the sword was already right in front of its eyes, and the cold light stung its eyeballs.

The Snow Qilin dodged to the side, but the other party still managed to leave a sword mark on its waist.

"You really aren't good at close combat!"

Hwa Tianji laughed coldly. He swung his sword and instantly, countless sword shadows appeared. They either pierced or slashed at the Xue Qilin from all directions.

With the help of the Fiery Golden Eyes, the Snow Qilin was able to barely catch a glimpse of the sword that was moving at a high speed.

However, being able to see it did not mean that it could react in time. Although the Xue Qilin used all of its skills, techniques, and movement techniques, it was still unable to dodge them one by one.

The situation wasn't looking good! More and more injuries appeared on the body of the Xue Qilin. Although they were not serious injuries, they had accumulated over time. These sword wounds were indeed taking away her strength.

Under such circumstances, there was no way for her to effectively counterattack. Her martial arts skills were too weak. If this continued, she would be the first to collapse.

The most important thing right now was to increase the distance between them! The Snow Qilin gritted its teeth and there was no room for hesitation.

Sparks flew out from every part of its body.

Hwa Tianji's sword speed slowed down. He was obviously aware of the abnormality and was distracted by Xue Qilin's strange technique.

- - Three of the inborn, six of the acquired. With fire as the body and dragon as the form.

The remaining bit of Genuine Qi from the Xue Qilin surged out and turned into flames. The flames intertwined with each other and trembled before finally turning into a fire dragon.

"It's actually a dragon!"

Hwa Tianji was taken aback, but the Xue Qilin didn't intend to give him time to react.

"Seventh of Boom Thunder Flame Dragon!"

The fire dragon roared as soon as Xue Qilin gave the order, and it bit towards Hwa Tianji with a furious aura. Hwa Tianji swung his sword without even thinking about it.

The Genuine Qi collided with the flames, but -

"Explode!"

The huge body of the Fire Dragon contracted in one breath, then suddenly expanded, and finally exploded.

The raging flames blocked the sight of the Xue Qilin, and Hwa Tianji finally retracted his hand that was grabbing her.

She curled up her body and covered her head with her hands. She allowed the impact that almost tore her body into pieces to bounce her into the distance. After passing through the dust, Xue Qilin didn't even look at her condition. It endured the pain all over its body as it flipped its body in the air.

"- Shoot the arrow!"

The sound of the bowstring being released from its back shook the air.

"It really did shoot the arrow!"

The sharp sound of the wind cutting through the air forced the Snow Qilin to turn around to deal with it.

The Genuine Qi circulated crazily, and the Realm appeared once again. The Electric Arcs jumped and jumped chaotically, intersecting with each other, forming a huge spherical net, and then expanded outward in one breath, deflecting all the arrows.

However, it was this action that consumed more than half of the remaining Genuine Qi in the Xue Qilin's body.

As a result, the remaining Genuine Qi was no longer able to suppress the poison in its body. A feeling of dizziness that was several times stronger than when the poison first took effect surged into its mind. The Snow Qilin had just landed on the ground, so its body was unable to adjust its balance in time and it almost fell.

Just as the Snow Qilin managed to stabilize its footing with great difficulty,

"What!?"

A strong impact entered its body and wreaked havoc within it.

Then, in the next moment, everything in his field of vision started to spin. A nauseating feeling of being thrown away quickly enveloped the Xue Qilin.

Bang!

Her entire body was struck by a heavy impact, and the force was so strong that it almost crushed her. The sound of bones breaking could be heard in her mind as pain assaulted her from all parts of her body, causing Xue Qilin to lose consciousness in an instant.

Xue Qilin rolled on the ground a few times before it finally stopped.

Its entire body felt like it had been torn apart, and it was in so much pain that it almost swallowed the Snow Qilin. Its mouth was filled with the taste of iron embroidery, and its breathing even stopped for a moment.

Although he really wanted to let his consciousness leave, the Xue Qilin still propped up its body that was about to fall apart.

After that, it started to cough violently. Finally, it spat out a mouthful of blood, and the grass was dyed red.

Without even wiping off the blood at the corner of her mouth, Xue Qilin raised its head and looked at the culprit who had caused her to be in such a sorry state.

It was a man.

He was wearing a black battle robe, and his face was covered by a strange golden mask. It was impossible to see his true appearance.

It was the other Heaven Stage cultivator. He was the one who had struck the Xue Qilin with his palm just now.

The Snow Qilin really didn't know where this Heaven Stage came from. It had to be said that it had appeared out of nowhere.

As if he had suddenly been separated from the void, he suddenly appeared in front of the Xue Qilin. Before she could react, he slapped her in the stomach.

"Commander Luo, I have been waiting for you for a long time. If it wasn't for the Commander Luo's timely arrival, I am afraid that Senior Xue would have escaped."

The battered and exhausted Hwa Tianji slowly walked closer and finally stopped three steps away from the Xue Qilin.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the Xue Qilin, but rather that he was on guard against the Heaven Stage that had suddenly appeared.

"Master Hua, you're being too serious. I'll do what I promised."

Luo Hong? Xue Qilin silently remembered this name - the name of the person who had injured him.

However, this person really dared to say his name. Was he not afraid that he would come looking for him in the future? Was it because he was famous and it was hard to cover up his true identity? Or was it because he didn't care to cover it up at all? Although his body was no longer under his control and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, Xue Qilin's thoughts were still clear.

The two of them ended their conversation and Hwa Tianji looked at the Xue Qilin.

"It seems like Senior Xue is still quite energetic."

"Really? Hwa Tianji, you little brat, do you see me with that eye of yours?"

After the Snow Qilin finished speaking, it waved its tattered sleeves.

"You have a sharp tongue. It seems like Senior Xue still wants to suffer - - "He raised his expert and looked mockingly at Xue Qilin who was kneeling on one knee.

"Shoot the arrow!"

With a sudden wave of his hand, a mechanical sound rang out at the same time.

As expected, it wanted his life! The Snow Qilin gritted its teeth and forced itself to stand up.

The remaining Genuine Qi was almost completely released. With a wave of her sleeve, she created a fire wall in front of her. Her remaining Genuine Qi was no longer enough to make the Realm appear.

Countless arrows flew towards the wall of fire like moths to a flame, but they were all burned to ashes by the high temperature.

"Release it again!"

The second wave of arrows arrived.

This time, the wall of fire did not completely block the arrows. Several of the arrows slipped through the wall of fire without caring about being entangled by the flames.

"Fly -"

At the moment when the Snow Qilin was about to use the "Flying Flame," its vision suddenly became blurry.

The poison had acted up again.

It was just that this time it was different from the previous situations. The continuously decreasing Genuine Qi in his body was no longer able to affect the poison at all. The poison completely erupted, and it affected the consciousness of the Xue Qilin.

It was because of this moment of absent-mindedness that the Snow Qilin missed the opportunity to fight back.

The first arrow that hit her landed on her left leg.

The second arrow landed on her right shoulder.

The third arrow pierced through her left arm.

The fourth arrow pierced through her left calf.

As for the fifth arrow...

It broke before it could penetrate her throat.

Even though her entire body was in pain, the Snow Qilin still raised its dazed gaze.

A black figure was standing in front of her.

'He saved me?' 'It was clearly him who caused me to fall to such a state, so why would he save me?' Xue Qilin was in a state of confusion. If he didn't make a move, the arrow would have definitely hit its fatal spot.

"Sect Master Hua, have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Hwa Tianji was silent for a while before he cupped his hands and said,

"Of course not. It was just a mistake on my disciple's part just now. I don't think Commander Luo would haggle over every single detail with a junior, right?" Speaking up to this point, Hwa Tianji looked at Xue Qilin and said, "Senior Xue, please come and be our Heavenly Sword Sect's guest."

"Aiya, are you sure you're not a prisoner?"

Laughing in spite of herself, she tried to stand up, but a sharp pain came from where she had been shot by the arrow, and there was a chain attached to the end of the arrow. The other end of the chain was held properly on the bodies of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, limiting her movement.

She could only kneel on the ground and let Hwa Tianji look down on her.

"If you had agreed to my proposal just now, you would have been a guest, but - "Hwa Tianji shook his head and said sarcastically, "I'm afraid you have no choice but to choose now."

"Wow, wow, wow, you sure have thick skin."

"Take him away!" Hwa Tianji snorted and turned around with a wave of his sleeve.

A few disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect approached and reached out their hands to support Xue Qilin.

"No need. I have long legs. I can walk on my own!"

Xue Qilin waved their hands away and stood up while enduring the pain.

After giving Hwa Tianji a cold glance, she slowly dragged her body and started to walk under everyone's gaze.
