"You're just like Jiang Chengye, nothing but laughable arrogance, you're nothing at all!"
"Do you think you can influence me or persuade me?"
“Senior Li…” Shen Qian held down Tantai Qin, who was trying to break free from him, and tried to communicate with her again.
Because Tantai Qin's condition was so bad, he didn't want her to burn anything more.
"Li Sixi is dead!" Li Sixi interrupted Shen Qian directly, sneering, "No matter how much time you stall, it's useless. Stay here. Don't you want to know the truth? Hahahaha..."
With a burst of wild laughter, Li Sixi swung his giant axe, causing the wind and clouds to swirl back, and an unparalleled purplish-red blade of light extended thirty meters, slashing down towards the two men.
“Shen Qian, you may leave… You saved my life, and today, I will repay you.”
Tantai Qin temporarily released her longsword, turned her back to the blade's edge, and gently stroked Shen Qian's cheek with her fingers.
Then, she smiled.
This was the third time she smiled at Shen Qian, a smile as beautiful as snow-capped mountains in bloom, as bright as the moon over a long lake, making the world lose its color and the sun and moon lose their light.
Immediately afterwards.
With a loud "boom," golden flames erupted from her entire body, and the terrifying aura that burst forth instantly deflected the descending blade.
The next moment, she disappeared from Shen Qian's sight.
She once again entered the realm of unparalleled power among her peers, transforming into a ball of blazing light that danced around Li Sixi.
Clang!
With the first strike, Li Sixi's giant axe fell from his hand.
laugh!
With the second sword strike, Li Sixi's right arm was severed, and dark green blood gushed out.
Click!
With her third sword strike, Tantai Qin aimed for Li Sixi's neck, but the strike was blocked by the armor on Li Sixi's neck, and only went in halfway.
Li Sixi let out a painful scream, his face turned crazed, but his eyes revealed an unusual calmness.
"Burning one's physical body to reach the ultimate realm?"
Li Sixi screamed maniacally, "Do you think you're the only one who can do this?"
Wow!
A massive purple flame instantly engulfed Li Sixi's legs. His aura surged, and he used his remaining left hand to grasp Tantai Qin's longsword, pushing it away from his neck inch by inch.
Tantai Qin remained silent, seemingly unwilling to waste even a moment to speak, and once again raised her sword to attack.
Pfft! Pfft!
The scene seemed to fall silent, with only the silent green and golden flames colliding and occasionally emitting some eerie sounds.
A dozen seconds later, both flames went out at the same time. Shen Qian quickly stepped forward and caught Tantai Qin, who was flying back.
Tantai Qin's appearance was even more miserable than Shen Qian had imagined.
Her left leg had been burned to ashes, and even a large part of her waist had disappeared. Her face was completely devoid of color.
Shen Qian's expression was extremely complicated. He simply grasped Tantai Qin's wrist and gently stroked her long hair, wanting to say something, but he had no idea where to begin.
Not far away, Li Sixi, who had fallen to the ground, was in no better shape. His legs were only connected by a little bit of skin and flesh, and his giant axe was completely shattered and scattered all over the ground.
"Let's...go home first."
He took a deep breath, picked up Tantai Qin, and walked towards the bridge.
"Walk?"
But a discordant voice came from behind, and Li Sixi, her face contorted with rage, struggled to sit up again. "In this Yaochi Palace, I, Li Sixi, am invincible! Where do you think you're going!"
Shen Qian frowned, turned his head and saw Li Sixi laughing wildly. He slapped the ground with his remaining arm and soared into the air, landing with a "plop" in the Jade Pool.
Whoosh!
The lake water was boiling, and powerful yet eerie spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from it.
Shen Qian was puzzled, but after a moment of stunned silence, Tantai Qin sighed softly, "So that's how it is..."
"What do you mean?" Shen Qian asked.
"Jade Pool is a place where spiritual energy gathers, but this Jade Pool has been polluted, as has the spiritual energy within it. Normal martial artists cannot absorb it, but this person is unconcerned."
Tantai Qin leaned her head wearily on Shen Qian's shoulder and explained softly, "The reason he has become the way he is today is because of the polluted spiritual energy."
"So the reason scavengers look like that is because they've been corrupted too..."
At this moment, Shen Qian's mind became clear, and he understood something he hadn't understood before.
yes……
The reason why scavengers end up in restricted areas is because of radiation mutation, and radiation is a form of pollution.
Wait a minute!
Shen Qian suddenly snapped out of his daze, staring intently at Tantai Qin, "Tantai, you said that the water in Yaochi is full of spiritual energy?"
"Yes, and only those of extremely high quality can liquefy, but unfortunately they are all contaminated, so normal martial artists cannot absorb them..." Tantai Qin nodded.
A normal martial artist?
I was both amused and exasperated at the moment before sinking, but I'm not a normal martial artist at all!
If he had known that the Jade Pool was full of spiritual energy, he wouldn't have had to suffer like this...
boom!
Just then, a figure burst out of the water, its extremely powerful aura causing the bridge surface to tremble.
It was Li Sixi, whose hands and feet had been restored.
Taking advantage of a brief balance in his energy, he stood in mid-air, looking down at the two like a god, and let out a strange "hoho" laugh.
"Shen Qian, a genius like you has probably never experienced being trampled underfoot... Today, I'll let you taste despair!"
