Chapter 56
It didn't stop until it grew to dozens of feet. Looking at such a powerful rhinoceros, we felt a sense of powerlessness in our hearts.
Quxi's two blood-red eyes glared at me, emitting two streaks of blood. I used the feather stone to create a barrier in front of me and quickly jumped back. However, to my surprise, the barrier was completely ineffective. A massive explosion erupted beneath my feet. I was blown back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
This Quxi is surprisingly powerful after changing its form.
Over there, the two sisters Linglong saw that I was injured and flew towards me. Lingfei blocked Quxi's attack in front. Linglong helped me up and said, "Are you okay?"
I shook my head and looked at Liu Danchen. Although he hadn't fought Qu Xi, he was still sweating profusely. It must have been hard work for him to remain calm in the face of danger and set up the Nine Palaces God-Slaying Formation.
As he completed the final step, a stream of pure energy rose from beneath our feet. This was the authentic Taoist essence. I pulled the Linglong sisters out of the formation. These essences didn't recognize Linglong Lingfei. They were extremely harmful to all demons and monsters.
A talisman appeared out of thin air in Liu Danchen's hand, and he solemnly recited: "Imperial and boundless, relying on heaven and earth, the Nine Palaces Formation appears, destroying the gods and returning to one."
As he chanted the spell, the talisman soared into the sky, eventually rising higher than Qu Xi. The talisman emitted a white light above the center of the formation, and the Nine Palaces God-Slaying Formation instantly drew a nine-palace diagram on the ground, trapping Qu Xi within it.
Seeing the Nine Palaces Formation complete, I breathed a sigh of relief and said to Linglong, "Now that the formation is complete, we might as well retreat. This Quxi is simply not something we can kill."
While I was talking, Liu Danchen also came back to my side. After hearing what I said, he said, "Little sister, you are right. Although I can set up the formation, with the magic power of the four of us, we are simply unable to kill Qu Xi. Since Concubine Ling has been rescued, why don't we take this opportunity to retreat."
Linglong and Lingfei also nodded.
The four of us agreed. Linglong and Lingfei each took one of Liu Danchen and I, and we ran straight out of Broken Soul Mountain.
As we were flying, a roar came from behind us, and then we felt an extremely dangerous aura.
Then I saw Linglong spit out a mouthful of blood. She fell to the ground, put me down, and then collapsed to the ground.
A knife was stuck in her back, and her demonic power gradually flew into the sky.
That Qu Xi actually broke through the Nine Palaces God-Destroying Formation so quickly.
When Concubine Ling saw Linglong fall to the ground, she became anxious, her eyes turned red, and she turned into her original form and attacked Quxi.
She spat out an inner elixir, her demonic power surged, and it looked like she was ready to fight Qu Xi to the death. The demon elixir is the essence of demons. When I was young, I saw foxes refining elixirs. The fire elixir running all over the mountain was actually the inner elixir that Ling Fei was now spewing out.
I supported Linglong. She was gasping for breath and it was obvious that she was dying.
I hugged her tightly, and she curled up in my arms, saying that she was cold.
At this moment, the knife behind her suddenly flew back, and Linglong, who was already dying, finally turned into a point of light and dissipated into the air.
"Linglong!" I shouted.
Without having time to wipe my tears, I quickly used the feather stone to collect her three souls and seven spirits. If they were scattered, Linglong would be destroyed and she would not even have the chance to reincarnate.
Seeing this, Ling Fei became even more crazy and attacked Qu Xi without any defense. However, the transformed Qu Xi was not something she could deal with at all. After a few rounds, Ling Fei was covered in wounds and had lost her fighting ability.
Liu Danchen quickly hugged Ling Fei who was falling from the sky. In such a short time, Ling Fei was beaten back to her original form.
Liu Danchen ran to me holding Lingfei. At this time, we were facing Qu Xi together, and the feeling of death enveloped my heart.
"I originally thought that with the two of us, plus Linglong, even if we couldn't kill Qu Xi, escaping wouldn't be a problem. I didn't expect that after more than ten years, we are still vulnerable in his hands."
"Take Lingfei away first, I'll hold them off for a while," I said.
Liu Danchen heard what I said and said, "Do you think it's possible?"
When I heard his words, I knew that he was ready to die with me.
I condensed four lightning and fire beads in my hands; this was my greatest strength. With the blessing of the Feather Stone, I had no idea how powerful they would be. As for Liu Danchen, his sword was still at Qu Xi's feet. Even his proud formations and talismans were no match for Qu Xi.
"Run!" I threw the Thunder and Fire Pearl at Qu Xi.
A deafening explosion came from behind us. Liu Danchen and I had only run a few steps when we were knocked to the ground by the loud noise of the explosion.
The four thunder and fire beads work together, and with the blessing of the feather stone, their power increases exponentially.
The explosion lasted for more than ten minutes, and even a big hole was blown out in the mountain.
Liu Danchen and I spat out a mouthful of blood, turned around, and looked towards Qu Xi. When the smoke cleared, Qu Xi's huge figure stood there, his body covered in blood and flesh. He was obviously injured by such a huge explosion.
He didn't die, however. Instead, he went mad from being severely injured and charged at Liu Danchen and I. Two large, purple-tinged swords slashed at us, unstoppable.
I closed my eyes and waited for death to come.
"when!"
The sound of metal clashing echoed before me, but the expected death didn't come. I slowly opened my eyes and saw my feather stone flying in the air, blocking a large knife. Under the other knife, there were two Heavenly Master swords.
I looked around and saw the high priest, Master Zhang and his brother, all three of them were protecting Liu Danchen and me.
Qu Xi did not expect that three people would suddenly appear, but after seeing that his attack was blocked, he became even more ferocious and attacked the three people while roaring.
But the strength of the high priest, Zhang Pingyin and Zhang Pingyang is not something we can compare to. Three heavenly master-level figures, plus three holy objects, can actually fight against Qu Xi on equal terms.
Liu Danchen heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. I relaxed, too; it looked like I wouldn't have to die today.
One demon and three other people fought together, and the battle was very fierce.
Needless to say, Master Zhang and his brother wielded the two Heavenly Master swords with great skill, and the high priest's use of the feather stone was completely beyond my comprehension. It is no exaggeration to say that he was superb.
With only three people, they were able to repeatedly injure Qu Xi severely.
Liu Danchen and I were watching the battle when we suddenly heard footsteps. I turned and saw two groups of people, one led by Gui Zong and the other by Li Danyang. They were standing on either side. Li Danyang came up and saw that Liu Danchen and I were seriously injured. He hurried over to inquire about our situation. After learning that we were not seriously injured, he had someone help us back to our group.
"snort!"
When Gui Zong saw that I was standing with the people from Tianshi Mansion, he sneered.
I had no time to pay attention to him and just treated it as a dog barking.
