Chapter 74: The Ferryman "I didn't say I was coming alone."...
Some time ago.
If they easily believed what others said, they would not be alive today.
So when faced with Zhao Qingxun's warning, no one believed it, and now that the combat effectiveness has been reduced by half, some people are even ready to take action.
Some of them were reckless and ignored Zhao Qingxun's warnings and rushed forward directly.
As expected, they were slapped away by Zhao Qingxun. Even though there was one less person, the disparity in individual strength was still there. These people did not have the slightest sense of cooperation and continued to fight in a crushing manner.
After several people came out and were defeated, the rest of the people calmed down. Moreover, after such a long time, there was no sign of the door opening again, and the strength of the people inside was unknown.
This opportunity may really have nothing to do with them.
But even so, these people didn't leave. They still wanted to give it a try. What if that person came out in a bad state? Could they take advantage of the chaos and rob him?
Zhao Qingxun didn't care about them. She had already warned them that their fate from now on depended on themselves.
But before Ying Bu Ran came out, Qin Li appeared.
Qin Li was stunned when she saw Zhao Qingxun, then smiled with a hint of relief and cruelty. She crossed her arms and pointed at Zhao Qingxun again, "Now, you can't run away, right?"
Zhao Qingxun took a deep breath. One of his eyes glowed blue, the other faintly red. He stared at Qin Li, raised his sword firmly, and pointed it at Qin Li. "I don't plan to run either."
Qin Li snorted coldly. It made no difference to her whether Zhao Qingxun ran away or stayed.
Anyway, this door is destined to open today. The world is destined to change from this day forward.
She will implement the will of the gods. All this long planning is for today and after this.
The only accident in this process was probably the last heavenly sacrifice. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingxun from another world appeared and killed Luo Wangqing.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Sacrifice was still carried out. If the others did not receive the gifts, what did it have to do with her, the Heavenly Messenger? As long as the Heavenly Sacrifice could continue, it would not be considered a failure.
And now, they no longer need heavenly sacrifices.
Zhao Qingxun attacked first. She knew that she had no chance of winning against Qin Li. All she could do was try her best to interfere with her and create time for Ying Bu Ran.
We can't win, but we should be able to maintain a stalemate.
Ten thousand swords were fired at once, but this time the direction of the swords was more complicated. It was more like a waste of time than an attack.
Qin Li naturally saw through her plan. He just chuckled and waved his hand. Most of the sword beams were shattered, leaving only a few sword beams, which were cut off one after another.
It was much stronger than before. Qin Li was secretly shocked, but he didn't care. He stood there with a smile on his face: "Is that it?"
Zhao Qingxun didn't say anything and attacked even more fiercely. However, no matter how strong her strength was or how fast her attack was, she couldn't do anything to Qin Li, and couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Qin Li seemed to have run out of patience. With a wave of her hand, she repelled Zhao Qingxun and then arrived at the door of the secret realm. As if she had foreseen that Zhao Qingxun would rush at her again, she did not turn back and "grasped" Zhao Qingxun's sword with a backhand.
"Varied……"
He clenched his hands hard and crushed the sword. The force generated by the shattered magic weapon bounced Zhao Qingxun away, but he was immediately clamped by Qin Li around the neck.
"You really overestimate your own abilities. The key might have been blocked by you before. It seems that the destiny body will also have some impact on you. Your cultivation speed was not so fast before. But it doesn't matter." Qin Li chuckled and increased the strength in his hand, forcing Zhao Qingxun to hold Qin Li's hand with one hand and try to pry it open.
The broken sword in his other hand stabbed at Qin Li, but it had no effect.
Qin Li sighed and looked at Zhao Qingxun who was struggling with a mocking smile: "You can't even tear my clothes, you are really incompetent."
Qin Li ignored her and slowly raised his empty hand. A new door rose in front of the secret realm, emitting an ominous aura, and the faint howling of ghosts could be heard from within.
"See? This is the door to the new century." Qin Li smiled as he watched Zhao Qingxun's struggles gradually decrease, and said softly, "Although they failed, they brought us a lot of help. Just wait and see, you will become one of the people who witness the new era."
Just when Zhao Qingxun was about to suffocate and faint, an attack from an unknown direction interrupted Qin Li's movements, and the next blow hit Qin Li's face.
A wolf demon jumped out from the side, waving its sharp claws and attacking Qin Li, forcing her to let go of Zhao Qingxun. Another demon immediately took Zhao Qingxun and retreated.
The demon looked at the wolf demon fighting Qin Li, then looked at the expellers hiding around him, and shouted, "Are you still standing there? If she succeeds, we'll all die!"
"If you don't want to die, don't just stand there!"
Some of the expellers looked at each other, some of them rushed forward to stop Qin Li, and others naturally left quickly.
The way to survive here is not to meddle in other people's business. Protecting yourself is the most important thing.
Although there were more people attacking Qin Li, not much changed, and the door still slowly took shape.
After being defeated again, Zhao Qingxun took a pill that could increase her combat effectiveness for a short period of time. "Go first! Don't stay here!" She shouted to the remaining people, and then the sword intent condensed, forming a sword that looked somewhat illusory, and rushed towards Qin Li again.
As expected, Qin Li immediately looked towards the expellers who were still there. Seeing this, the expellers also understood the situation and immediately withdrew.
Qin Li waved her hand, wanting to stop these expellees. After all, the opening and maintenance of the Ghost Gate required the sacrifice of living creatures. But before she could make a move, Zhao Qingxun's sword slashed at her again. This time, it tore through her clothes and left a small bloody mark on her skin.
"It's cut." Zhao Qingxun quickly stepped back to create some distance, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and mocked her in return.
She glanced around and saw that most of the expellers had run away. This was all she could do.
Next, we can only hope that Ying Bu Ran will be over soon...
Qin Li was enraged. He withdrew his hand that was constructing the Ghost Gate, drew his sword, and used the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One move. The sword light was so high that it could even break through the sky and attacked Zhao Qingxun.
Zhao Qingxun swallowed another pill, and his strength increased to another level. At the same time, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth and eyes.
She took a deep breath, and also gathered all the swords into one, meeting Qin Li's attack.
As expected, I was unable to withstand it, but it was enough to block some of the attacks.
The time was too short. After blocking the attack slightly, Zhao Qingxun only had time to move sideways to avoid the vital parts, but a huge wound was still cut on his chest. He fell to the ground and his life or death was unknown.
Qin Li withdrew his hand with a gloomy face. He could feel that Zhao Qingxun was still alive. An unknown force was protecting her. Even though the previous attack had been combined with the power of the Spirit of Heaven, it still failed to kill her.
It doesn’t matter. It’s even better if you’re still alive. You can be sacrificed to the Ghost Gate when the time comes.
Qin Li turned back and continued to construct the Ghost Gate. After the gate was fully formed, he picked up the half-dead Zhao Qingxun and threw him directly into the Ghost Gate.
She clapped her hands, watching the ghost gate solidify, and smiled with satisfaction. Although there were fewer people, Zhao Qingxun alone could match many expellers, so it wasn't too bad...
[She is not dead. The ghost gate did not absorb her life.]
"How is that possible? Why?!" Qin Li's smile disappeared instantly, and he looked at the Ghost Gate with confusion and anger. Sure enough, after condensing to a certain degree, the Ghost Gate no longer gathered power, and no ghosts appeared inside.
I don’t know if it’s because there’s no power supply, but the Ghost Gate even started to become illusory again.
The Heavenly Spirit was silent for a moment, then gave the order: "Use your power to maintain operation. We cannot fail at the last moment. If the Ghost Gate here fails, the power of the rules we can seize will be much less."
Qin Li nodded, and immediately raised his hand to inject strength into the Ghost Gate: "Okay."
A dark figure appeared in the white light. Was it a ghost from the ghost world? Judging from its aura, it seemed quite powerful.
Before Qin Li could start to feel happy, the true identity of the black shadow was revealed. It was an unexpected person - Ying Bu Ran.
Ying Bu Ran was still holding Zhao Qingxun, and her clothes were stained red with Zhao Qingxun's blood. Seeing Qin Li still there, she raised her eyebrows and put Zhao Qingxun next to a stone, letting her lean against it.
With a clenched hand, the Heaven-Slaying Sword appeared in her hand: "Sect Master Qin, long time no see. I didn't expect you to be a clone as well?"
The magic weapon on her waist was constantly emitting light, much stronger than the one she had seen with the shop owner before. If you didn't know better, you would think she was wearing a lantern.
Qin Li sneered, and countless sword beams gathered and hovered around her: "Avatar? I'm not something without self-awareness. It seems that you have recovered well? But it doesn't matter. Are you ready to die?"
"Of course not. I will survive until you die." Ying Bu Ran spread his hands, not caring about Qin Li's murderous intention.
"Just you?" Qin Li scoffed, his sword ready to strike. One strike should be enough to pierce through both of them, slaying the last remaining threat.
She waved her hand, and all the sword beams poured down.
Zhao Qingxun stretched out his hand to gather strength to block some of the attack, but this movement agitated the wound and he coughed up blood again.
Ying Bushan went over to wipe the blood from her mouth and ignored the attacks.
Just when the sword beams were halfway through their journey, they suddenly froze, no longer moving forward. Then, all the sword beams disintegrated in an instant.
Before Qin Li could react, a boat oar rushed out from the door and hit her face. Although she quickly raised her sword to block it, she was still pushed back a few steps, and her hands trembled slightly.
She looked towards the ghost gate, and a man in a straw raincoat slowly walked out of the gate and looked at her coldly.
Ying Bu Ran chuckled and stood up: "I didn't say I was coming alone."
Qin Li quickly adjusted his state of mind and looked at the ferryman coming out of the door with a gloomy face: "Lin Xianzhu!"
"You still exist?"
