Chapter 145: 145
Chapter 145 – Tails
However, Xue Qilin didn’t pursue the opponent .
“You’re finally here! Little Phecda, sword!”
“Understood!”
Phecda recited a pa.s.sage at once, and the white dragon form turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air .
What emerged from it is a dark mechanical sword .
Xue Qilin grabbed the hilt tightly, and then quickly turned back . At the same time, she injected true qi into the mechanical sword – Empyrean Universe . The sword body of Empyrean Universe extended left and right and turned into a huge shield .
Ding… Fired from far away, a hissing spiritual qi projectile slammed into Empyrean Universe .
Different from the previous one, the spiritual qi this spiritual qi projectile contains transcends the Earth Realm . When it exploded, spiritual qi engulfed the pet.i.te Xue Qilin in an instant .
Heaven Realm… It must be Xi He! Xue Qilin swung the large sword and swept away the high-density spiritual qi fragments that are blocking her view .
All of a sudden, she felt a chill come from behind .
… behind!
Xue Qilin turned around, and then her eyes immediately faced two purple beads .
The la.s.s recognized the master of these eyes .
“…!”
With nine slender tails flowing behind her, Xi He suddenly appeared and threw herself in front of Xue Qilin . The spiritual qi projectile just now was a diversion used to confuse Xue Qilin’s ears and eyes . At the same time, the turbulent spiritual qi produced by the explosion interfered with her perception .
“It really is you!”
“I said I didn’t want to see you in Martial Demon Realm!”
The air oscillated .
As if the surface of a lake hit by a stone, air ripples rose in the empty s.p.a.ce . Xi He’s fist pierced through the sound barrier and shot towards Xue Qilin’s chest .
It is a blow without hesitation .
Strictly speaking, magic can be cla.s.sified into qi school . But compared to sword school, qi school has a weak point that cannot be ignored, that is, the body of pract.i.tioners of qi school is more vulnerable . If Xue Qilin is. .h.i.t by Xi He’s punch, it won’t be limited to a few broken ribs .
Scoundrel, she isn’t taking our past familiarity into account! As she watched the fist approach, Xue Qilin secretly scolded Xi He
However, her reaction wasn’t slow .
Xue Qilin hurriedly put the large sword horizontally in front of her chest to block the crushing punch .
Boom…!
The large sword issued a call, and a force pierced through the thick sword body and hit Xue Qilin’s chest .
“Ugh…!”
Xue Qilin groaned loudly and retreated by a considerable distance . Xi He pressed forward and unleashed a rapid barrage of firsts .
“Hey, do you seriously want to take my life?”
By virtue of Discerning Eyes’ excellent dynamic vision, Xue Qilin bobbed and weaved and evaded the barrage of fists .
“I told you, I don’t want to see you in Martial Demon Realm . ”
Xi He replied expressionlessly while guarding against Xue Qilin’s counterattack .
“You’re really heartless! We have teamed up against ‘Asura’er’ the day before yesterday . ”
“Whether it is the matter of the day before yesterday or Luotian Town, I’m very grateful to you . ”
Xi He’s tone is sincere, but her fists don’t slow down .
“Grateful my a.s.s! Aren’t you trying your best to take my life right now?! Biting the hand that feeds you!”
“That’s unrelated . I cannot tolerate you messing with my comrades . ”
“Yo, we haven’t done anything yet . ”
“But you are about, aren’t you?”
Xue Qilin humphed .
It’s not that they can’t communicate, but that their positions augur an inevitable conflict from the get go .
One of them is a human martial pract.i.tioner, the other is a martial demon of Martial Demon Realm .
… that’s all there is to it .
“Explode!”
Xue Qilin set off a spell .
The true qi between the two compressed in an instant, and then exploded and pushed them apart .
Xue Qilin took this opportunity to open the distance while looking down .
The sword rays and flames that flicker from time to time indicate that Merak Temple’s people got also caught up in battle .
There is a fiery figure traversing between the trees, and the sword in its hand, that is entangled by flames, is continuously colliding with a fangtian ji [1] .
Qi Qiqi is fighting the Centaur martial demon .
In addition, there are fierce sounds of metal striking metal and people shouting nearby . The two opposing sides are presumably Merak Temple’s disciples and Iron Armored Oxen Xue Qilin blocked previously .
“You still have the time to get distracted?”
The nine tails slashed through the cloud of dust .
“Annoying!”
Xue Qilin shouted and swung her sword .
In the next moment, Xi He’s tails collided violently with Empyrean Universe, and sparks burst out .
As if they are made of metal, the tails infused with true qi are incredibly hard . Empyrean Universe can’t cut into them .
Xue Qilin tilted the sword in wanted to deflect the other party’s tails .
But the other party did let her wish come true .
Five of the tails suddenly wrapped around the sword like ropes and attempted to pull it away . The remaining tails wrapped around Xue Qilin’s limbs and restrained her movement .
“Qilin, she wants to separate us!”
Phecda’s indignant voice came from Empyrean Universe . From when she controlled Shui Yun’er, it can be inferred that Phecda hates when others try to separate her from her master .
“I got it! I won’t let her have her way, so calm down!”
Cold sweat is running down the la.s.s forehead . She gripped the sword tightly so that Xi He won’t take Empyrean Universe away .
Since the physique of martial demons is superior to that of humans, Xue Qilin is naturally slightly weaker than Xi He in terms of physical strength . She is trying her best to keep her balance and prevent Phecda from moving towards the other party .
As for the shackles on her limbs, she has no spare time to try and break free .
The situation is in a stalemate .
Then Xi He’s figure emerged from the cloud of dust .
When she saw the thing in Xi He’s hand, Xue Qilin narrowed her eyes .
Xi He’s hand is brewing a true qi projectile . True qi projectiles are highly compressed true qi with the purest destructive power . Therefore, its power is not low . If Xue Qilin suffers a direct hit, she may end up with a big hole .
“Are you forcing my hand?”
“I don’t believe you have room to be lenient, do you?”
Indeed, Xue Qilin hasn’t exerted her full strength yet .
Although it looks like she has been suppressed by Xi He from the beginning, but she has never really retaliated . She still has ample true qi . Additionally, she hasn’t extend the circulation of true qi into Empyrean Universe and hasn’t activate the magic array engraved on Empyrean Universe .
“If you are being lenient in consideration of our relationship… then let me tell you this . Since the moment you stepped into Martial Demon Realm, we became enemies . ”
Xi He is serious – after understanding this almost intuitively, Xue Qilin closed her eyes and sighed .
In the end, is it due to our different positions that we must face each other?
“Then don’t blame me…”
Xue Qilin cannot be delayed here by Xi He .
The people of Merak Temple are still fighting the martial demons down below .
The people she cares about are caught in a bitter struggle .
Xue Qilin’s face gradually became sinister .
Her lips twisted into an inconceivable arc, giving off the feeling that her face has split in two .
“I have a stupid cat in front of me . ”
Unfathomable words escaped her full lips .
“With its claws drawn, extended its paw to scratch me . How should I respond to this?”
Xi He silently listened to Xue Qilin for no reason . She knows that the stupid cat the other party is speaking about is referring to herself .
Xue Qilin opened her eyes .
Violent fighting spirit is surging in the abyss of the gold eyes .
“Naturally, I’ll catch and spank it!”
The la.s.s revealed a queer smile .
Then…
Something is different .
It is grandeur .
Xue Qilin’s grandeur is rising steadily, and the complex patterns on the large sword’s sword body began to glow .
“Break!”
The sound of fabric tearing erupted .
A shock wave mixed in with electric arc spread from Xue Qilin . Unable to bear the force from the shock wave, Xi He’s tails made tense sounds, indicating that they are about to be snapped .
“Ugh…”
Xi He released her tails from the pain, and the shock wave pushed her way .
At this moment…
The shackles imposed on Xue Qilin were undone violently .
… the impa.s.se was broken .
