Chapter 53 Chapter 53 "Please let me out, Biqing needs...
The short green blade cut off the arms of several goldfish fairies. The pain was so severe that they covered their broken arms and ran around in the water like headless flies.
Several goldfish fairies were seeing stars in pain and bumped into the barrier covering Xuan Yi, fainting instantly.
Several goldfish fairies reacted extremely quickly and dodged in time, so they were not hurt by the short blades.
After seeing how powerful Biqing was, the goldfish fairies unconsciously retreated, fearing that Biqing would attack again.
Bi Qing said coldly: "I don't want to hurt you. Tell me the truth about where the Zhai Xin Bottle is! Otherwise -"
A green light shone from her palm, forming a faint long sword: "Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Hearing the words "斋心瓶", the few healthy goldfish fairies were stunned for a moment, the fear in their eyes turned into cruelty, and they rushed towards Biqing again.
"You're really not afraid of death!"
Although Biqing said harsh words, she showed mercy when fighting with the goldfish fairy, avoiding the opponent's fatal blows with every move.
Xuan Yi knew that Bi Qing had good intentions and couldn't bear to be cruel to her.
Biqing must have been extremely determined to be able to cut off the Goldfish Fairy's arm.
Looking down at the sword in his hand, Xuan Yi took a deep breath.
Hengdao sensed Xuanyi's reluctance, and the blade actually lit up for a moment, emitting a faint blue light, comforting its master while letting out a farewell cry.
Xuan Yi steeled his resolve, drawing his cracked sword and speaking to the hydrangea hanging above his head, "Please let me out. Biqing needs me."
The hydrangea is indeed a divine weapon. As soon as Xuan Yi finished speaking, Zhen withdrew the barrier and followed Xuan Yi to help his master.
Biqing, who was fighting with the Goldfish Fairy, clenched the sword in her hand and was reluctant to attack their vital points.
Looking at the goldfish fairy in front of her with a horrifying face and one eye missing or one eye extra, Biqing felt a little uncomfortable.
She spoke again, "I do not wish to injure you, much less take your lives. Tell me where the Zhaixin bottle is, and I will leave on my own after I retrieve it."
The Goldfish Fairy seemed to be deaf and just kept attacking Biqing, as if she would not stop until she took her life.
The feeling of fatigue grew stronger and stronger. Biqing sighed in her heart, and a hint of murderous intent suddenly appeared in her clear eyes.
Just as I was about to kill him, I heard a "puff" sound.
Half of the sword pierced through the heart of the goldfish fairy in front of her.
Green blood dripped down the tip of the knife.
The goldfish fairy rolled her eyes, and as if she had no bones, she slowly floated down to the ground of the hall.
"Why force yourself if you can't do it?" Xuan Yi moved decisively and quickly chopped off the heads of several goldfish monsters surrounding Biqing.
Biqing muttered, "But if I don't do it, you and I will both die here..."
Seeing Xuan Yi's sword about to be completely covered in green blood, she hurriedly stopped him: "Xuan Yi! Stop!"
Xuan Yi turned a deaf ear to it and glanced at the blade that had been completely covered by something like stone. He used his demonic power to summon a hydrangea, which fell beside him.
Hydrangea circled around Biqing as if on patrol, and reluctantly went to help Xuanyi.
"Hide well."
Xuan Yi gave a warning and injected his own demonic power into the hydrangea, sending out sharp blades that mercilessly cut off the neck of the lingering Goldfish Fairy.
The sword in his hand could no longer be used and could not be put back into the sheath.
Xuan Yi hardened his heart and gathered a stream of demonic power at the intersection of the hilt and the blade, separating the two.
The blade, wrapped in something like stone, fell to the ground of the hall and shattered into pieces, leaving its original appearance unrecognizable.
Biqing walked through the corpses of the goldfish fairies and came to Xuan Yi's side. The ground was covered with broken swords and iron. She looked at Xuan Yi with heartache.
Xuan Yi hid the hilt and scabbard of the knife and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
Biqing shook her head. Before she could utter any words of concern, there was a violent shaking in the hall, causing the trays holding the oil lamps under the stone pillars to fall to the ground.
The shaking came too suddenly, and Biqing lost her balance and fell backwards.
The moment she raised her head, Biqing's pupils suddenly constricted, and she completely forgot that she could use her spiritual power to prevent herself from falling to the ground.
Fortunately, Xuan Yi was quick to pull her aside and said, "Biqing!"
"Xuan Yi!" Bi Qing pulled his sleeve and pointed at the tops of their heads. "Look!"
Xuan Yi looked in the direction she pointed and saw that a few bricks had gone missing from the roof of the hall.
A pile of gold, silver and jade artifacts were exposed in front of the two of them.
Xuan Yi and Bi Qing both stood there in a daze.
"The treasure room...it's the treasure room!"
Biqing was the first to react and was overjoyed: "Let's go quickly!"
Remembering how they had been trapped here since they entered the hall together, she said again, "No, no! I'm going to go inside to find the Zhai Xin Ping! You wait for me outside! If anything happens, I'll have someone to look after me!"
"I'll go if anyone wants to go."
Xuan Yi stared at the eyes with the pearls in the center of the hall. "I guess those eyes are the mechanism of the treasure room."
But... when did the eyes turn towards them?
Xuan Yi didn't tell Bi Qing about the eye movement so as not to scare her.
"Finding the Zhaixin Bottle is not difficult. We can just go in and search for it. But keeping watch outside is more important."
He persuaded her, "Biqing, you're more careful than I am. I'm confident in leaving the Feng matter to you. My sword is broken, and my hearing and sense of smell are greatly diminished in the water. While I can defend myself with my demonic power alone, I'll be overwhelmed if the enemy is too powerful. You have a handy artifact at your side, so if anything unexpected happens, you can handle it more easily than I can."
"Even if there really is a trick, with you here, you will definitely protect me."
The treasure room was exposed to the two of them, there must be a trick.
Xuan Yi remembered that when the two of them came, a man's voice scolded them.
The Goldfish Fairy was speechless. She and Biqing had been in the palace for such a long time, but they had not heard the man's voice again. There must be something fishy going on.
Xuan Yi looked up at the wide-open door to the treasure house before him.
The palace at the bottom of the lake is just a reflection, so... is the treasure house in front of us real or fake?
Biqing was worried about Xuanyi going alone. She thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay! I'll wait for you outside! Go quickly and come back soon!"
Xuan Yi's words made sense. Without his weapon, it was like losing an arm.
With the hydrangea in hand, if anything really happens, I can handle it much more easily than Xuan Yi.
Besides, the wolf demon has excellent eyesight, so it is not difficult for Xuan Yi to find the Zhai Xin Bottle. It should not take much time to find it.
Before Xuan Yi flew to the roof of the hall, Bi Qing said, "If you encounter danger in there, be sure to call me!"
She took out the black snake scale that Mingzhu had given her in the demon world and handed it to Xuan Yi: "Don't be polite with me, it can save your life!"
To save time and reassure Biqing, Xuanyi collected the snake scales and placed them in his arms before flying into the treasure house on the roof of the palace.
Biqing watched Xuan Yi enter the storage room, rubbing her aching shoulders, her gaze fixed on the shattered blade fragments and the dead body of the Goldfish Fairy.
The bloodstains on the ground turned into hard stones, dotted at varying heights on the flat ground.
Biqing felt extremely nervous, as if an invisible hand was squeezing her heart tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.
He raised his hand, and the green spiritual power in his palm was like a bright lamp, emitting a faint light.
Biqing waved her hand, and spiritual power fell on the bodies of the goldfish fairies like a drizzle, coating them with a layer of green light.
The little river clam hiding in her sleeve saw this and asked, "Biqing, what are you doing?"
"The last bit of decency."
Biqing slowly uttered five words.
The bloodstains that looked like stones and the tattered clothes covering the Goldfish Fairy were all purified completely by the spiritual power.
Not only that, the goldfish fairies actually regained some of their original appearance.
There was still a hint of ferocity on the goldfish fairy's face, but it was not difficult to see that before they became so horrible, they were also extremely handsome.
The situation was critical during the fight, and Biqing had no time to think about it. Now that she had a chance, she recalled how they had attacked her just now, almost every move aimed at her cheek.
They are just jealous of their normal appearance.
Bi Qing shook her head gently: "It's just a skin, why bother with it?"
Then I thought: having beauty and then losing it bit by bit, I became unrecognizable.
No matter who it is, it would be hard to accept.
"They looked so pretty before they became like this!"
The little river clam shrank deeper into Biqing's sleeve. "But ever since we couldn't leave here, they've slowly become this scary!"
"Why?"
"I'm not sure. I just know that I was lucky enough to escape because I couldn't transform."
"That's strange. By the way, how did you meet Miss Shui Yun? I heard from Miss Shui Yun that she has never left the demon world."
"I swam from here to the demon world a long time ago!"
When the little river clam mentioned the demon world, he thought of the happy times he had with his friends, and his voice became much lighter. "I saw a little golden light in the water at that time. I was curious about what it was, so I kept swimming and swimming. I don't know how long I swam before the golden light disappeared. I inexplicably ended up in the demon world and met Shui Yun!"
"What a coincidence."
Biqing asked, "Can we get to the demon world from here?"
"You don't think I'm lying, do you?!" the little river clam asked angrily.
Bi Qing flatly denied it: "No, no! This place is very far away from the demon world. I'm curious how you got there."
"It's been so long, I don't even remember how I got there..."
The little river clam's cheerful voice faded: "Shui Yun must have forgotten me a long time ago... Who would remember a little river clam that can't transform..."
"How could that be! Miss Shuiyun mentioned that she once had a good friend, she must be talking about you!"
Biqing comforted the little river clam in her sleeve with her mouth, but in her mind she was carefully thinking back on every word it said.
If it is true as the little river clam said, there should be a road leading to the demon world here.
This means that foul air can flow into the bottom of the Wei River.
Biqing lifted her sleeves and looked at her smooth arms, which were not ulcerated by drinking the foul-smelling water in the demon world.
Biqing couldn't figure out what was going on.
Counting on his fingers, Xuan Yi had been in the treasure house for half a cup of tea.
There was no sound in the treasure house, it was eerily quiet.
Biqing couldn't help but worry about Xuanyi, and several times she couldn't help but want to rush into the treasure house.
Biqing forced herself to wait patiently for Xuan Yi to come out, but a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye frightened her so much that her scalp went numb, and she stepped back repeatedly, cold sweat breaking out on her palms.
My heart was pounding as if it was about to burst through my chest.
Biqing pressed her chest tightly, trying to stop the heartbeat that blocked her hearing.
At some point, the pair of eyes that should have been looking towards the treasure house were actually staring straight at him!
“Tick-tock—”
A drop of blood dripped from the door of the treasure house, fell on the pearl in the center of the pupil, and splashed out a bright red flower.
"Xuan Yi!"
Biqing's pupils dilated and she flew towards the treasure house anxiously.
Countless gold, silver and jewels were hanging upside down from the top of the treasure house. Xuan Yi closed his eyes tightly, hanging upside down from the top of the treasure house, with half of his body entangled in the jewels and buried in them.
Biqing waved her hand, and her spiritual power dispersed the gold, silver, and jewels that were tightly wrapped around Xuan Yi's body. Xuan Yi immediately fell along with the jewels.
A green light flashed across the golden jewels. Biqing used her spiritual power to catch Xuan Yi steadily. She called out urgently, "Xuan Yi! Wake up!"
Xuan Yi did not respond.
This was not a place to stay for long, so Biqing wrapped Xuan Yi in her spiritual power and floated him beside her, ready to take him away and make other plans.
"Since you're already here, why should you leave?"
The strange man's voice rang out again, echoing in the huge treasure house, approaching Biqing like waves.
“Who is it?!”
Biqing was afraid in her heart, but she still spoke with such a powerful tone: "How cowardly! You're actually playing tricks in the dark!"
"Yes... yes, sir!"
The little river clam's voice trembled several times, as if it had encountered something extremely terrifying: "Biqing! You, you must not let the young master find me!"
"The fairy is joking."
The warm breath sprayed on the tip of Biqing's ear, causing her body to tremble and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Biqing conjured up the sword condensed from spiritual power and turned around to sweep it across.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she quickly left the spot with the unconscious Xuan Yi, putting some distance between herself and the voice behind her.
There was no feeling of the sword blade touching the target. Biqing stared at the man in front of her with his eyes covered by a white cloth, wearing khaki clothes and disheveled hair, and she was extremely alert.
The white cloth in front of the man's eyes had long been soaked with blood, which flowed out through the gap between his skin and the white cloth, leaving streaks of blood on his face and falling on the golden vessel, a dazzling red.
Biqing was shocked to realize that the blood she had just seen was not Xuanyi's.
It belongs to the man in front of me.
"Don't panic, fairy."
As if sensing Biqing's panic, the man spoke first: "I am the master of this hall, Master Wulin."
"Young Master Wulin..." Biqing asked uncertainly, "Are you Young Master Wulin?"
Wulin's face showed a hint of surprise: "Fairy knows me?" He then said self-deprecatingly: "It's rare that someone still remembers me."
Bi Qing choked: I had seen his name before when I was looking for the medicinal materials for Mo Jue's heart treatment.
You can't say this kind of thing in front of the main person.
Wulin saw that Biqing didn't answer him, so he slowed down and asked, "Fairy, are you here because of the Zhaixin Bottle?"
Biqing nodded, remembering that Wulin couldn't see, and said, "I came here for this matter."
Although his tone was calm, the string in his mind was stretched straight and would break with a little force.
Biqing was wary of the person in front of her.
I think Wulin was already here before I entered.
Xuan Yi must have been injured by him and fell into a coma.
"For the demon world?" Wulin chuckled.
"Yes." Biqing answered firmly.
"It's really ridiculous."
Wulin changed his previous friendly attitude and said with a tone of contempt and sarcasm: "If this is the reason, I advise you to give up this idea."
He said coldly, "Before I change my mind and don't want to hold you two accountable for destroying the barrier and killing the Goldfish Fairy, leave the Weishui River immediately."
Biqing turned her head to the side and looked at Xuan Yi, whose eyelashes were trembling slightly and who was showing signs of waking up.
She opened her red lips and said firmly, "I won't leave until I get the Zhaixin Bottle."
"If I had known he was a demon, I would never have let you do whatever you want."
After Wulin finished speaking, he summoned a long sword shaped like a fish bone and stabbed it straight into Biqing's face.
His moves are ruthless and each one is fatal.
Biqing was not willing to be outdone, and summoned her long sword to block Wulin's every move.
The moment the blades touched, Wulin's mouth twitched slightly: "How could it be?"
Along with the sound of tearing brocade, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder. The green sword energy cut through his clothes and scratched his skin.
"You and them..."
Wulin muttered to himself, and with a force of his hand, he actually shook the long sword in Biqing's hand apart.
With a twist of his wrist, he released the sword and slapped Biqing on the shoulder.
The force of this palm strike was quite strong. Even though Biqing tried her best to dodge, she was still hit hard.
There was a sound of bones breaking in the shoulder, causing Biqing to feel a sharp pain in her chest, as if countless fine needles were piercing her body, causing unbearable pain.
Blood flowed from the corner of Biqing's mouth. She raised her sleeve to wipe away the bloodstains, and a weak moan came from beside her.
Xuan Yi showed signs of waking up.
Biqing was unable to take care of herself, so she controlled the hydrangea to protect Xuanyi, and focused on dealing with Wulin in front of her.
Biqing's arm suddenly felt numb, her brows twitched slightly, and she grasped the sword with her left hand.
"You've been poisoned."
Wulin said calmly, "If you don't treat it, your internal organs will soon be corroded and festered by the venom. You will die in less than half a cup of tea."
"It's like you're going to let us go after I deal with it!"
Biqing frowned and swung her sword towards Wulin: "I won't leave until I get the Zhaixin Bottle!"
"Since you're determined to die, I'll be a good person and send you two on your way."
Although Wulin cannot see, he can easily take on all of Biqing's moves just by listening to the sounds.
He smacked his lips. "How dare you boast about such a mediocre move? Don't embarrass your master again, little kid."
"Even if it's embarrassing, it's my own shame!"
Biqing has learned many sword techniques from the sword manual left by her aunt, but because she has no good teacher to guide her, her techniques are not standard.
This means that she cannot rely on her sword skills to directly hit the enemy's vital points.
At that time, Biqing thought this was a good idea. She didn't want to take other people's lives in the first place. If she could make others suffer and let them know that she was not someone to be trifled with, her goal would be achieved.
Biqing just thought that she was too naive at that time.
No matter what moves she used to attack, she couldn't hurt Wulin at all.
Instead, he was beaten back again and again.
Breathing gradually became difficult, Biqing stumbled and fell to the ground.
The long sword in his hand, which was transformed by spiritual power, turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
A feeling of fatigue swept over her, Biqing shook her head and tried to stand up.
With a flash of cold light, the tip of the sword was already in front of her throat.
Looking up along the sword blade, Wulin turned his head towards Biqing and said indifferently: "You want the Zhaixin Bottle so much, have you ever thought that it will cost you your life?"
"If I hadn't thought about it, why would I come here?"
Biqing's face was full of determination. She stared at Wulin's eyes covered with white cloth, secretly clearing the toxins from her body.
Transforming into a sword really consumes spiritual energy. Biqing is not sure whether the remaining spiritual energy in her body is enough to eliminate the toxins that have not yet spread.
Every bit of delay counts.
Biqing sneered: "Even if I die, I will die for the demon world. I am willing to help them, I accept it."
When Wulin mentioned the demon world, his expression relaxed slightly, and the hostility on his sword dissipated a lot: "The current situation of the demon world cannot be reversed by your own strength."
"So I'm just going to stand by and watch?"
Bi Qing healed her wounds secretly and looked around for the trace of the Zhai Xin Bottle: "Everyone can stand by and watch, but I can't."
"You do have a sense of responsibility. It's a pity..."
Wulin raised his hand, the tip of the sword slashed across Biqing's nose, and pointed at Xuanyi behind her: "You and he will die here."
"Deicide is a serious crime!"
Bi Qing, with her vision blurred, shouted sternly, "If you kill me, my aunt will never let you go! She will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!" She was afraid that Wu Lin would hurt Xuan Yi in the slightest.
"Aunt?" Wulin frowned slightly, "Where are your father and mother?"
Wulin asked questions that were incoherent and left Biqing confused.
"Where are your father and mother?" Wulin spoke again with a little anxiety.
When Biqing mentioned her parents whom she had never met, she felt very sad and her eyes turned red instantly.
Without hearing Biqing's voice, Wulin vaguely guessed something and muttered to himself, "No wonder you're with the demon... No wonder your sword moves are so unfamiliar..."
"Are you and that wolf demon married? Do you practice spiritual cultivation together?" Wulin asked hurriedly, as if he was trying to confirm something.
The words "marriage" and "spiritual cultivation" made Biqing's cheeks turn red.
She quickly scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wulin breathed a sigh of relief, his chest slightly deflated. His voice was as cold as ice: "That's great. It saves me from being hesitant and unwilling to take action against the wolf demon."
After saying that, he thrust his sword towards the barrier protecting Xuan Yi.
The hydrangea hanging in front of Xuan Yi emitted a green light, and several sharp blades shaped like bamboo leaves popped out, attacking Wulin with murderous intent.
Wulin transformed into a yellow shadow, nimbly dodging all attacks and landing in front of Xuan Yi.
He gripped his sword tightly and stabbed at the barrier.
Just as the tip of the sword was about to touch the barrier, hurried footsteps were heard behind him.
Wu Lin's eyebrows moved slightly, and he swung out a stream of spiritual power with his backhand to block Bi Qing's progress.
In order to eliminate the toxins in her body, Biqing had almost exhausted all her spiritual power. Her body was still weak, so her movements were naturally not as fast and agile as before.
The spiritual power exploded from her feet, and the surging air wave lifted Biqing away and threw her mercilessly against the wall of the treasure house.
Biqing hit the wall and was bounced down, landing heavily on the ground scattered with treasures.
The sound of the barrier shattering was crisp and harsh. Biqing was only thinking about Xuan Yi's safety and ignored everything else. She gathered all the spiritual power in her body into her palm and attacked Wulin with all her might.
Wulin felt an extremely strong spiritual power coming towards him and had to withdraw his hand. He dodged and hung in the air, listening to the spiritual power hitting the barrier.
Just as he thought, Biqing's spiritual power hit the barrier without leaving any trace, not only shattering the barrier, but also smashing Xuan Yi into pieces.
Wulin smiled faintly: "It will be fine naturally without my help."
He landed in front of Biqing, grabbed her neck, and sighed, "Even people of the same clan may not be destined to be together or to be together. He's a demon, and it's even more impossible for you and him."
Biqing weakly clasped the hands that were strangling her neck, trying to relieve the feeling of suffocation.
The air entering the nasal cavity became thinner and thinner. Biqing's eyes were bloodshot. She looked past the pale face and gazed at the gray figure standing slowly in the distance.
The spiritual power that broke the barrier was absorbed by the hydrangea.
Biqing curled the corners of her lips.
Wu Phosphorus couldn't see clearly and didn't see the smug look on Biqing's face.
Biqing didn't know if it was an illusion caused by suffocation, but she saw a faint white light coming from Wulin's heart.
The outline of the white light looks... like a porcelain vase?
Biqing thought she had gone crazy thinking about Zhai Xin Ping, and she actually saw this illusion before she died.
A gust of wind blew by, and the force on her neck suddenly disappeared. Her body felt lighter, and Biqing was enveloped by a familiar aura.
The air rushed into Biqing's nostrils like a tide, choking her and causing her to cough repeatedly, with snot and tears pouring out.
Biqing was delighted and wanted to call out the name of the person who was hugging her, but she was interrupted by the itch in her throat and could not utter a word.
She grabbed the gray fabric in front of her eyes and covered her mouth with it, trying to stop her coughing.
"I'm sorry to bother you."
Xuan Yi's gentle voice fell from above Biqing's head. Biqing's throat was itchy, and she waved her hand to indicate that she didn't care about it.
Xuan Yi felt a pang of anxiety when he saw Biqing coughing non-stop. Every time she coughed, his heart trembled.
When he saw the glaring red mark on Biqing's white and tender neck, Xuan Yi's mandarin duck eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He stared at Wulin who was not far away and said coldly, "Are you so proud of bullying a woman?"
