Chapter 75 She saw the expectations of all living beings
Lin Xianzhu raised his head and looked at her calmly. He stretched out his hand to take back the oar, and his hand holding the oar trembled slightly.
She would always remember this man. It was this man, along with another woman, who had led so many people to their secluded abode, ruthlessly slaughtering them and leaving them with their wives and daughters.
The oars hit the ground heavily, stirring up a wave of powerful air, and the eagle-like eyes stared at Qin Li, whose eyes were bloodshot.
Qin Li gritted his teeth and immediately activated his sword energy, condensing frost on the sword. An ice-blue sword light appeared on the sword and quickly transformed into a pure white sword light, emitting a biting chill.
Zhao Qingxun could clearly feel that Qin Li's strength had increased to a higher level. It turned out that she had not used all her strength in the previous battle with him. Fortunately, she was too confident. The Ghost Gate was fully constructed just when Ying Bu Ran's trial was over.
Qin Li shouted loudly and slashed out with his sword. Wherever the sword passed, frost formed, leaving an icy path covered with ice thorns on the ground.
Ying Bu Ran took the first step. Ghost fire condensed on his left ghost hand and struck the ground heavily. The flame spread all the way and rushed towards the sword light with a cold glow.
Although he failed to stop the sword light in one go, the sword light became smaller and smaller under the erosion of the ghost fire. Finally, when it was about to reach Lin Xianzhu, it had completely turned into gas.
Lin Xianzhu gripped the oar tightly and kept observing Qin Li while she attacked, as if he could see the "essence" hidden within through that layer of skin.
The moment the sword light dissipated, she made a move. In just a breath, she was in front of Qin Li, and raised the oar in her hand. It seemed as gentle as the wind, but when it hit Qin Li, it was a loud "bang", and Qin Li was forced back ten meters away.
At the moment of being hit, Qin Li used sword energy to protect her body, and when being pushed back, she took sword steps to relieve the impact. The sword energy protecting her body was shattered by the huge force the moment it came into contact. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the murderous intent hidden in it was attacking the "core" in her body.
How is it possible? Qin Li shook his head. This was just a brief encounter. How could they possibly discover what was inside him? For such a long time, neither the other three sect leaders nor the mayor of the Wind Chasing City had discovered it.
Qin Li looked at Lin Xianzhu with an expression more solemn than ever before.
This person's power is actually slightly higher than hers, who now has mastered some of the power of the Heavenly Spirit.
She only thought for a moment, and her fighting instinct made her continue to take sword steps to avoid Lin Xianzhu's secret stick techniques that were like rain. From time to time, she also had to be alert to the dark hands around her. Sometimes it was an attack of spiritual power, sometimes it was the burning of ghost energy, and sometimes it was the erosion of a force that was very similar to the "pollution" here.
Although it's not a big threat, it's very annoying and has disrupted her rhythm countless times.
Unable to just dodge, Qin Li dodged an attack and came to the side of Lin Xianzhu, with a flash of sword light, he was about to attack Lin Xianzhu.
Lin Xianzhu quickly twisted the end of the oar handle, drew out a long sword to block Qin Li's attack, and instantly exerted force with his arm to repel Qin Li again.
Immediately afterwards, the long sword in Lin Xianzhu's hand shattered, turning into countless fragments surrounding Qin Li, constantly attacking, leaving blood marks on her body one after another. In the blink of an eye, Qin Li had turned into a "blood man".
In comparison, Lin Xianzhu looked as if he had never participated in a battle. He lightly pulled down the brim of his hat and looked very elegant.
Qin Li made a hand seal and the power exploded to bounce all the fragments away. At Lin Xianzhu's silent call, the fragments returned to the broken sword in his hand and condensed into a long sword again.
Qin Li waved his sleeves, and the injuries on his body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. His strength returned to its peak in an instant: "You can't kill me."
Lin Xianzhu frowned slightly. She could feel that as Qin Li's wounds healed and her strength recovered, the Spirit of Heaven was eroding her more and more seriously. She was afraid that it wouldn't be long before her consciousness would be replaced by the Spirit of Heaven.
But this has nothing to do with her. This is her own choice. Qin Li chose this path of no return a long time ago - this is what the King of Hell told her.
She also has no interest in "saving" her enemies.
A new round of confrontation began again, and the originally vague sense of threat gradually grew stronger, forcing Qin Li to look towards Ying Bu Ran.
At some point, Ying Bu Ran stopped attacking Qin Li, held the Zhan Tian Sword in both hands, closed his eyes and entered a state similar to "meditation".
This was the first time she had called upon the power of the Lotus of All Living Things. In the past, she had only figured out how to use it in her mind. When she actually used it, she felt a little nervous, fearing that something might go wrong.
But these problems did not arise. The Lotus of All Living Things was like a part of her body, and she could use it smoothly.
At first there was just one, and then she saw tiny dots of light, which represented the faith of everyone who shared the same goals and beliefs as her, and some of them were particularly bright.
She stretched out her hand, and without any communication, these points of light approached her intimately, giving her faith and strength.
The moment she came into contact with them, she understood the source of these starlights - her family and her friends. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, they would still give her the greatest help at the critical moment.
As these light spots approached, more light spots gathered and the light emitted by the Lotus of All Beings became brighter and brighter.
He opened his eyes, and they shone with divine golden light. The Heaven-Slaying Sword in his hand hummed, responding to Ying Bu Ran's call.
Qin Li instinctively sensed a huge threat, one that threatened her life. Seeing her stunned, Lin Xianzhu's sword shattered again, the fragments restraining Qin Li, leaving her unable to move at that moment.
"This sword is named Heaven-Slashing!"
The sword light that was powerful enough to cut through the sky fell down and almost cut Qin Li in half. It was then mixed with the tumor by the Spirit of Heaven. Although it looked intact on the surface, its breathing was extremely weak.
This attack also completely drained Ying Bu Ran's strength. She was not surprised to see Qin Li still alive.
She did not mobilize too much of the power absorbed by the Lotus of All Living Things, and just stopped at a certain limit, which was the limit she could currently accommodate.
This time is just an attempt. Next time, she will definitely kill Qin Li and the sky behind her.
Ying Bu Ran held on for a breath. Seeing that Qin Li was not dead, Lin Xianzhu immediately attacked with another sword. Just as the sword was about to touch Qin Li, a tumor appeared, blocking the blow and enveloping Qin Li, dragging her into the ground and disappearing.
Qin Li was rescued by the spirit of heaven.
Ying Bu Ran exhaled, and then his eyes went dark and he fainted. He was caught steadily by Zhao Qingxun.
Zhao Qingxun immediately placed her in his arms and sat down to check on her. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she had simply fainted from exhaustion.
Fortunately, Ying Bu Ran did not exceed that "limit" this time, and she has not yet found a way to ultimately save her.
However, this time, she has almost figured out the range of power that Ying Bu Ran can mobilize without hurting himself. Next time, if there is a tendency to exceed this limit, she will knock Ying Bu Ran unconscious directly.
Zhao Qingxun hugged Ying Bu Ran tightly and looked up at Lin Xianzhu who was walking towards the Ghost Gate. He saw Lin Xianzhu put his hand on the Ghost Gate and did not seem to make any other movements, but the Ghost Gate began to slowly close until it was completely closed and dissipated.
Lin Xianzhu came up to the two of them, pointed at Ying Bu Ran, and looked very anxious.
Zhao Qingxun was a little confused at first, but soon understood that Lin Xianzhu was unable to speak and was asking about Ying Bu Ran's situation.
Zhao Qingxun immediately explained: "Don't worry, she's fine, she's just exhausted. She'll recover after a while of rest."
Lin Xianzhu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to Zhao Qingxun. He reached out and gently stroked the cheek of the sleeping Ying Bu Ran, with the corners of his mouth raised.
After a moment, she looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. She had never thought that there would be a day like this, a day where she could see her grown-up daughter in the mortal world.
Lin Xianzhu took out a piece of paper and pen from her pocket, quickly wrote a few words, and handed it to Zhao Qingxun. Zhao Qingxun took it. The general meaning of the words on it was to let her take him to find the other people in the restricted area and then go to Zhuifeng City.
"Okay, come with me?" Zhao Qingxun stood up holding Ying Bu Ran. He staggered a little at first, but he quickly stabilized himself.
Lin Xianzhu pointed at Ying Bu Ran, then at herself, and made a hugging gesture. Zhao Qingxun thought for a moment before handing Ying Bu Ran over to Lin Xianzhu. She was in no condition to carry Ying Bu Ran for long.
They soon arrived at the inn. When Zhao Qingxun saw the numerous people, demons, and monsters inside and outside the inn, he was stunned for a moment. It felt like all the residents of the entire restricted area had come here.
Mu was sitting in the middle of the group of residents. He waved at the three people after seeing them. When he saw the person behind Zhao Qingxun, he was stunned: "Fellow Daoist Lin?"
Lin Xianzhu nodded, hugged Ying Bu Ran and sat down opposite Mu, pointed to his mouth and shook his head.
Mu quickly understood what she meant, and at the same time, he could sense that Lin Xianzhu had a different aura than a normal person. She was now a ghost. But it didn't matter.
"It's good that you're still here." Mu smiled. If Ying Bu Ran was awake, he would probably be amazed that this was the first time Mu smiled.
Not knowing what Jiang Liuyan would do when she saw her, Mu Jiuyi suddenly had some bad thoughts and wondered whether he should go back and record the scene of their meeting.
In a trance, she seemed to see the time when the three of them were walking together, which was also one of the best times in her life.
Zhao Qingxun came to the three people in silence. Meng Ran asked the others to give Zhao Qingxun a chair to sit on. The blood on her body was too disgusting, so it would be better for her to sit down quickly.
"Everyone still alive in the restricted area is probably here," Mu explained the situation straight to the point. "I've basically convinced them all to cooperate with Wind Chasing City. We'll return to the city after a short rest."
After a pause, Mu looked at Zhao Qingxun and asked, "How is the young city lord doing?"
"I'm exhausted. I'll recover after a few days of rest."
Mu nodded and stood up: "Then get ready, we are about to set off. Let's go back and start a new battle."
