A blood-red figure shot out, and a dagger appeared in Ruan Xiaoman's hand at some point, with wisps of black energy seeping from the tip of the dagger.
"Die!" the woman said with a cold laugh.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two loud thuds rang out. At this moment, Qin Xin's Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff was burning like a raging fire as his true energy surged. Facing the rushing Ruan Xiaoman, he pointed the staff and released a huge amount of true energy!
"How could this be! Ah..."
As Ruan Xiaoman was surprised, she let out a painful howl. If it weren't for the protection of her true qi gauze robe, she would probably have been pierced through by the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff.
"puff!"
Just as Ruan Xiaoman retreated and fled, Qin Xin stepped forward, seizing the opening, and slammed his staff into her back.
Ruan Xiaoman coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Xia Qi realized what was happening, Ruan Xiaoman had already begun to fall. Fortunately, he caught her in a flash, and his expression turned somewhat somber. His gaze towards Qin Xin now held a hint of seriousness, no longer looking at her as if she were an ant.
"Your Highness, kill him! I will transfer all my Yin energy to you!"
Ruan Xiaoman's eyes were bloodshot. Qin Xin's attack had rendered her unable to move. However, this was due to her carelessness. She had not expected that a martial artist at the ninth level of the Innate Realm could unleash combat power comparable to that of a seventh level of the Aperture Realm in an instant. Nevertheless, she was unwilling to give up and used her last strength to roar at Qin Xin.
"Give him a healing pill." Xia Qi turned around and handed Ruan Xiaoman to the guards behind him, speaking somewhat coldly.
Then, Xia Qi walked forward slowly, his plain clothes making a whooshing sound as the powerful true energy surged.
Qin Xin also noticed that Xia Qi's entire demeanor had suddenly changed. His eyes had become very deep, and white true energy was rapidly circulating within the seven white true apertures, making him appear very mysterious.
"Be careful, this person is using the Yin-Yang cultivation technique."
Hearing Danqing's exclamation, Qin Xin looked at Xia Qi before him, his expression turning serious. Within the ruins of the Luo Shen Gate, Danqing was unable to leave the fragmented map space; it seemed something mysterious existed there, affecting spiritual entities and thus preventing her from helping Qin Xin.
This Yin-Yang cultivation technique sounds nice, but in reality, it relies on absorbing a woman's Yin energy for cultivation. The higher a woman's cultivation level, the stronger her Yin energy becomes. Although this cultivation method is disgusting, its power should not be underestimated, and the Yin-Yang energy cultivated will have some influence on the martial artist's soul.
Xia Qi has now mastered the art of Yin-Yang cultivation, and it's likely that countless women have already fallen for him.
"Yin Yang Soul Stealing!"
Behind Xia Qi, a two-headed giant python formed from condensed true energy roared, its eyes shooting out light as it shot directly towards Qin Xin.
"Pfft!"
Although Qin Xin used his spiritual sense to predict the direction from which the light was coming, he had no time to dodge. The light emitted by the two-headed python seemed to have an impact on the soul. If it weren't for his spiritual cultivation, Qin Xin would probably have become a walking corpse under this sudden attack.
"Oh? You actually accepted?"
Xia Qi looked at Qin Xin kneeling on one knee. This scene was beyond his expectations, because if some martial artists at the eighth level of the Qi Opening Realm were directly hit by his attack, their souls would probably be shattered.
"Indeed very strong, but you should also try my fire blade!"
"Wildfire Hundred Slashes!"
Qin Xin slammed his palm into the ground, and with the support of the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff, he stood upright.
As his true energy surged, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff slashed directly down towards Xia Qi.
Instantly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the entire stone hall began to surge violently and converged towards the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff. A deep red fire blade, constantly radiating scorching heat, swept straight towards Xia Qi with overwhelming force.
"boom!"
The violent explosion cleaved the bronze gate in two, and the cracking sound seemed to indicate that it was melting under the blazing blade.
After a loud explosion, the entire stone hall was left in a mess. Fortunately, Qin Xin deliberately controlled the direction of the blazing blade; otherwise, Luo Lingyan and the other two women would probably have perished in that attack.
"Earth-rank martial arts?"
Xia Qi exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly dodged Qin Xin's powerful attack, which contained the essence of martial arts. However, while dodging, he was accidentally grazed by the aura of the splashing blade.
However, Xia Qi's personal guards and the Ruan clan members were not so lucky. Originally, Ruan Xiaoman's injuries had improved a lot thanks to the healing pills, but in the explosion of the Fiery Blade, she was blown out of the stone hall and her fate was unknown for a while.
Xia Qi didn't care about anything else. He just felt a sharp pain in his arm. After glancing at the wound, he saw a deep wound gushing blood. He immediately took out a blue pill and swallowed it without hesitation. The blood that was flowing out of his arm immediately congealed, and even scabs began to form on the hideous wound.
"I didn't expect you to have so many good things. Tsk tsk, if I kill you, all those spiritual weapons and Earth-rank martial arts techniques will be mine!"
Xia Qi did not fly into a rage because of the injury on his arm. Instead, he looked at Qin Xin calmly, his greed evident in his eyes.
"Hmph, aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth!"
Qin Xin suppressed the slight weakness in his body and prepared to clash with Xia Qi again.
"Kid, I know you can withstand this attack, but the people behind you are another story!" Xia Qi said mysteriously, shifting his gaze to Qin Xin's back.
At this moment, Luo Lingyan, who was behind Qin Xin, was surrounded by multicolored light, and a multicolored lotus bud was about to bloom, as if she was about to complete her transformation.
Xia Qi knew that if Luo Lingyan completed her transformation, he would probably never have another chance to attack them. So, his ghostly figure, like a snake, bypassed Qin Xin and went straight for Luo Lingyan's head, while the two-headed serpent behind him opened its bloody maw.
At this critical moment of transformation, Luo Lingyan could sense the danger emanating from the outside world. However, she could not stop at this moment. If she forcibly ended the transformation, the medicinal power of the Luoshen Flower she had absorbed would dissipate completely, and there was also the possibility of unimaginable consequences due to the backlash from the Martial Spirit.
"Sigh!" Seeing this, Qin Xin sighed helplessly.
Xia Qi's offensive shifted rapidly. If Qin Xin were to directly help Luo Lingyan block this attack, he wouldn't have time to gather his true energy, and without the protection of the true energy veil, he might even be in mortal danger.
"Qin Xin, no!" Danqing, inside the fragmented map space, hurriedly stopped Qin Xin.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, a figure stood in front, and under the sweep of powerful true energy, a handsome face immediately became distorted with pain.
In the end, Qin Xin still managed to take the blow from Xia Qi, who was at the seventh level of the Qi Opening Realm, with his back. After enduring such a blow, the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern that Qin Xin had activated instantly collapsed, and an extremely weak feeling swept over him.
"Cough cough..."
"This is the only way I can make amends to you. I'm sorry."
With a series of light coughs, some brown blood kept seeping from the corners of his mouth, and Qin Xin's vision began to blur, and his body slowly began to fall.
Looking at Luo Lingyan with her eyes closed, Qin Xin felt a sense of relief.
"Is this what they mean by 'to die beneath a peony blossom, even as a ghost, one will be romantic'?"
As Qin Xin fell, he seemed to have a hallucination, and Luo Lingyan seemed to be smiling at him.
