Chapter 33: Help Ziwei Tianhuo while he still has the will to resist...
Everyone who heard the noise turned their heads to look over.
Luo Qingyao came out of the formation with a cluster of flames in her hand.
The flames were not the dreamy red color of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, but had turned into an ominous blood-like color, giving off a very dangerous and bloodthirsty aura.
In the light of the fire, Luo Qingyao, who was originally wearing a spotless white dress, seemed to be stained with a dark red blood color. She looked gloomy and dangerous. She no longer looked like the beautiful fairy, but a witch who played with people's hearts.
Nan Si Ning felt that this look was more in line with Luo Qingyao's true nature. She was a scheming person who would do anything to manipulate shallow men.
Luo Qingyao had a contemptuous yet complacent smile on her face. She glanced around, but didn't look at anyone.
The Purple Myrtle Skyfire had finally been subdued by her! With this strange fire in hand, she wouldn't be afraid of Nan Si Ning alone, even if the entire Cijian Peak came.
When Luo Qingyao's gaze swept over, Nan Sining clearly heard someone swallowing. It was probably because of the change in Luo Qingyao's temperament that they were surprised and instinctively frightened.
Just when everyone was still at a loss, Hu Yan stepped forward and said, "Luo Qingyao, I have fulfilled my oath to the Heavenly Dao. Now we should leave this secret realm."
Although the ten days in the secret realm had not yet arrived, Luo Qingyao had already obtained the Ziwei Sky Fire she wanted, so it was normal for Hu Yan to propose leaving.
Obviously Hu Yan also understood that Luo Qingyao was not only scheming, but also had a strong murderous intent.
Now that the people at Cijian Peak are safe and sound and there are no casualties in Yaowang City, it would be best to take Luo Qingyao away from this secret realm first.
Nan Si Ning was anxious and was about to say no when he heard Luo Qingyao say with a smile: "Second Brother, why are you so anxious? They say that wealth and honor that do not return to one's hometown are like traveling at night in fine clothes. I was able to obtain this Ziwei Heavenly Fire, and everyone also contributed to it. How can I not show everyone its power and express my gratitude?"
Nan Sining felt relieved. Yes, Luo Qingyao was the kind of person who enjoyed being the center of attention. She liked to see others looking at her with admiring eyes and attitudes. How could she be willing if she was not allowed to show off?
Especially with his old enemy around, it would be strange for Luo Qingyao to obediently leave.
Hu Yan's face darkened when he heard that Luo Qingyao wanted to demonstrate the power of the Ziwei Skyfire. The name of the Ziwei Skyfire alone was already awe-inspiring in the cultivation world, so why would she need to show it off? She just wanted to show off her might in front of someone much weaker than her.
Hu Yan took a deep breath, then suppressed the unhappiness and anger in his heart, and said, "If you insist on doing this, not only will I not help you, I will also stop you."
Luo Qingyao smiled contemptuously, not taking Hu Yan, who was in the Jindan stage, seriously at all: "Okay, then you can try it!"
As she spoke, her eyes flashed and she rushed directly towards Nan Si Ning. The Ziwei Sky Fire in her hand "banged" and instantly burst out with a blazing red light, heading straight for Nan Si Ning's face.
Nan Sining had been secretly alert. When she noticed that Luo Qingyao's expression changed, she crushed the teleportation talisman in her hand and teleported herself more than ten steps away, narrowly avoiding Luo Qingyao's first attack.
Luo Qingyao was a little surprised when she saw her attack miss, then she said disdainfully, "Are you scared now? Are you regretting offending me now? It's too late to regret it!"
Nan Si Ning used the Escape Technique and began to run, fighting back as he did so: "Regret? Even if I didn't offend you, you'll never get away with it! Aren't those three dead lickspittles the best example?"
"You--" Luo Qingyao was furious, and the Ziwei Sky Fire became even more intense, almost illuminating the entire area red.
He also pursued Nan Si Ning even more relentlessly.
Hua Shengqing and Zhou Lixing hurriedly chased after her to rescue their junior sister. Hua Shengqing anxiously asked, "What is this junior sister doing? She knows Luo Qingyao hates her the most, yet she still deliberately tries to provoke Luo Qingyao?!"
Before Zhou Lixing could respond, Hu Yan, who was following closely behind him, said in a slightly deeper voice, "Junior Sister Nan is deliberately trying to divert Luo Qingyao's attention."
"Why?" Hua Shengqing was so anxious that she wished she could grow wings on her back.
Hu Yan said succinctly, "The longer she delays, the better the others will recover, and the more the Ziwei Heavenly Fire will be consumed."
Hua Shengqing and Zhou Lixing finally understood.
When the Ziwei Sky Fire existed alone as a strange fire, it also had to absorb the fire spiritual power in the heaven and earth to maintain itself. After being subdued by Luo Qingyao, the spiritual power it used was mainly Luo Qingyao's own ability.
However, Luo Qingyao has ice spiritual roots, and fire spiritual power is incompatible with her. Even if there is a technique to help her absorb fire spiritual power and convert it into Ziwei Heavenly Fire, the efficiency will be low.
Even though the fire spiritual power is abundant in this secret realm of strange fire, it is impossible for the Ziwei Heavenly Fire in Luo Qingyao's hand to last for too long.
"Junior sister is so smart! She thought of this key point right away!" Zhou Lixing still praised his junior sister.
Hua Shengqing also nodded frequently: "That's right! Junior Sister is so amazing!"
Hu Yan was speechless. It's already this time, why are you two still only busy praising your own junior sister?
Although Nan Si Ning had made some preparations in front, Luo Qingyao was chasing him closely from behind, making Nan Si Ning feel very urgent.
When Luo Qingyao was flying closer on her sword, only a few steps away, Nan Sining took out a thunder bomb and smashed it at Luo Qingyao's head without any hesitation.
When the thunder bomb exploded, there was indeed a crackling sound, a very loud noise, and extremely thick smoke came out.
While controlling the flying magic weapon, Nan Sining looked back, hoping that one or two of them would hit Luo Qingyao.
After the thick smoke rolled for a while, Luo Qingyao rushed out from inside. Although she looked intact, her body was much dirtier and her hair was a little messy, which showed that the thunder bomb had indeed caused her considerable damage.
After Luo Qingyao rushed out, she opened her mouth to curse Nan Sining, but ended up spitting out a puff of black smoke and then started coughing uncontrollably.
After coughing, Luo Qingyao no longer cared about cursing. She quickly took out the pills and stuffed a few into her mouth.
After regulating her breathing for a while, she finally recovered.
Nan Sining was immediately encouraged. It seemed that this thunder bomb could indeed cause considerable damage to Luo Qingyao.
It’s a pity that for those who practice Taoism, it’s not a big deal if the injuries are just on the skin. They can return to normal by taking some rejuvenation pills.
After leaving the secret realm, I can find a way to improve the thunder bomb to make it more lethal, Nan Sining thought to himself.
After Luo Qingyao recovered, she immediately rushed towards Nan Sining with great momentum.
Nan Si Ning was not polite either. As long as she got close, he would immediately attack her with thunder bombs. Anyway, the thunder bombs were all looted from Luo Qingyao, so he didn't feel sorry for it.
Nan Si Ning didn't feel sorry, but Luo Qingyao was very angry. It turned out that Nan Si Ning had planned to use thunder bombs against her a long time ago, so he asked for all of her thunder bombs!
After losing several protective magic weapons, Luo Qingyao finally gritted her teeth and activated the formation that she had been reluctant to use. The thunder bombs were no longer of any use to her.
Nan Sining looked at the storage ring and saw that there were only a dozen or so thunder bombs left. He hardened his heart and decided not to use them anymore, but instead rushed forward.
Although Luo Qingyao was slowed down by the thunder bomb, she quickly caught up. When she was not far away, she finally used the Ziwei Sky Fire on Nan Si Ning again.
"Junior sister, be careful!" Hua Shengqing shouted and rushed towards Nan Sining with all her strength.
Nan Sining only felt a burning sensation on his back, and then he was swept away and rolled several times before stopping.
Realizing that it was Senior Sister Seven who saved him, Nan Si Ning quickly raised his head and asked, "Senior Sister, are you okay?"
Hua Shengqing coughed twice and said, "I'm fine."
"Really?" Nan Sining was a little unconvinced.
Hua Shengqing placed her on his sword and said, "Junior sister, you gave me the Baohua hairpin. Did you forget? Although the Ziwei Heavenly Fire is powerful, Luo Qingyao is only in the Qi Refining Stage after all. This greatly weakens the power of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, so the Baohua hairpin's defensive power is more than enough."
Nan Si Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that the Baohua hairpin was given to the seventh senior sister, and it saved his life in the end.
"You just ran away in a hurry for so long, take a break and catch your breath." Hua Shengqing said.
Nan Sining nodded and turned to look over, only to see Zhou Lixing and Hu Yan teaming up to deal with Luo Qingyao. Luo Qingyao was very angry because Hu Yan not only did not help her, but also stood against her!
"Second Brother! Have you forgotten your oath to Heaven?" Luo Qingyao threatened.
"The oath from Heaven only allows me to help you obtain the strange fire and ensure your safety out of the secret realm, but it doesn't allow me to help you kill people!" Hu Yan said gritting his teeth.
Luo Qingyao was angry, and he was even angrier. He had discovered before that he had been plotted against by Luo Qingyao, but he had no way to get out of the trap, so he had been holding back his anger for a long time.
Safely exit the secret realm? Humph! Sparing her life wouldn't violate the oath to Heaven, would it?!
As soon as they started fighting, Hu Yan and Zhou Lixing both discovered that although Ziwei Tianhuo was very powerful, it was obvious that Luo Qingyao was a serious burden to Ziwei Tianhuo.
The Ziwei Heavenly Fire was subdued by her with an evil method, and the remaining mind was still resisting Luo Qingyao's will, so Luo Qingyao was not only unable to fully exert the power of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, but the Ziwei Heavenly Fire would even hinder Luo Qingyao.
After discovering this, both of them gained more confidence, and when facing Luo Qingyao, they were more at ease and cooperated more tacitly.
Nan Si Ning felt relieved when she saw that Luo Qingyao was temporarily held back by someone. While her Seventh Senior Sister still had the energy to protect her, she hurriedly sat cross-legged, took two spiritual pills, and then meditated to regulate her breathing and restore her vitality and spiritual power.
Hua Shengqing stood by and felt very gratified when she saw Nan Sining becoming more and more proficient in his practice.
My little junior sister is so smart, sensible and well-behaved. When Master comes back, he will definitely be very happy to see how well behaved he is!
Just as she was thinking about something, a dark object suddenly came over and scared her: "What...what is this thing!"
The little beast ignored her and carefully approached Nan Si Ning. Seeing that she was not seriously injured, he showed a very human look of relief.
Soon, he stretched out his little paws, helped Nan Si Ning refine the fire spiritual power, and stuffed it into Nan Si Ning's dantian.
Hua Shengqing looked at the scene in surprise, staring at the strange-looking black thing for a long time, and only felt relieved after making sure that it had no bad intentions.
But she couldn't understand what the little animal was doing, she just thought it was behaving a little strangely.
With the help of the little beast, Nan Si Ning recovered quickly, and her dantian was soon filled with fire spiritual power. If she hadn't tried hard to suppress it, she would probably have advanced directly.
Just when Hua Shengqing was happy that Nan Si Ning had almost recovered, a scream was suddenly heard.
Nan Sining immediately woke up from his breathing exercises and looked over with Hua Shengqing. They saw Zhou Lixing falling heavily to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust, and then he began to vomit blood uncontrollably.
Nan Sining and Hua Shengqing hurried over to check on Zhou Lixing.
All the clothes on Zhou Lixing's back were burned, revealing a bloody area with traces of red flames burning on it.
Hua Shengqing was about to slap him with her hands, but Nan Si Ning quickly stopped her, then took out a stick-like magical weapon and said, "Third Brother, please be patient!"
As he said this, he used the stick-like instrument to roll Zhou Lixing's back several times like rolling dough.
Zhou Lixing was sweating from the pain, but he didn't say a word.
After being rolled over by the magic weapon, the red flame went out, leaving only a red and black area, which looked very shocking.
Nan Sining took out the Rejuvenating Pill, the Soul-Replenishing Pill, the Recovery Pill and other pills and stuffed them all into Zhou Lixing's mouth.
The injury on Zhou Lixing's back recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he still kept his eyes tightly closed, and his life force seemed to be fading away.
Hua Shengqing was so anxious that she turned around and around: "Little Junior Sister, what happened to Third Senior Brother?"
Nan Si Ning thought about it and suddenly remembered that the Ziwei Heavenly Fire could burn the soul. Could it be that the soul of his third senior brother was affected?
Thinking of this, Nan Si Ning hurriedly took out the soul-nourishing pill that he had refined when he was taking the alchemist grade exam, took out one and stuffed it into Zhou Lixing's mouth.
She didn't notice that when the little beast next to her saw the soul-nourishing pill she took out, its eyes stared at the jade bottle with burning intent, looking very possessive, but it still held back.
After the soul-nourishing pill was stuffed in, Zhou Lixing did not wake up, but his frown had obviously relaxed a little, and he was obviously not in as much pain as before.
Nan Si Ning handed the Soul Nourishing Pill to Hua Shengqing and said, "I'll need to feed this Soul Nourishing Pill to Third Senior Brother twice more later."
Hua Shengqing accepted the pill and said thankfully, "Thank goodness, it's a big deal. Injuring the soul is a serious matter. If it weren't for this pill, Third Senior Brother would have been in even greater danger."
Nan Si Ning nodded and said, "So, we must help Zi Wei Tian Huo escape while it still has the will to escape. We can't give Luo Qingyao the opportunity to completely subdue Zi Wei Tian Huo."
Hua Shengqing also nodded seriously: "Okay!"
However, when they were discussing who would go, both of them wanted to deal with Luo Qingyao, and no one was willing to stay. Nan Si Ning glanced at the little beast, and after a brief consideration, he handed a bottle of soul-nourishing pills to the little beast and said, "Can you help me look after my third senior brother?"
Nan Si Ning gestured as he spoke, trying to make his meaning clear to the little beast.
The little beast used its claws to pick up the pill, and its little nose couldn't help twitching as it sniffed it. The fragrance of the medicine made it itchy, and it wished it could swallow it.
But when it raised its head and saw the eager expectation in Nan Si Ning's eyes and her solemn exhortation, the little beast felt heavy in its heart and felt that this was a trust.
After Nan Si Ning finished instructing the little beast, Hua Shengqing asked in surprise, "What the hell is that thing? Can it really take good care of Third Brother?"
Nan Si Ning sighed softly, stuffed a fasting pill into the little beast's mouth, and said, "This is a long story. The most important thing right now is to deal with Luo Qingyao. We can talk about the other things later. This little beast is quite smart and alert. I think it can understand what I mean. Let's go!"
Hua Shengqing thought about it and quickly followed Nan Sining's pace.
The two men rushed forward and relieved Hu Yan of a lot of pressure.
Seeing that Nan Si Ning and Hua Sheng Qing had joined in, Luo Qing Yao knew that the two of them combined were definitely better fighters than Zhou Li Xing alone, so she couldn't help but stop and question Hu Yan, "Second Brother! Do you really want to be my enemy?!"
Hu Yan also took the opportunity to eat a few pills and said, "I'm not the one who wants to be your enemy, it's you who wants to be our enemy. The brothers and sisters of Cijian Peak are my master's guests. I can't let you attack them in front of me."
Luo Qingyao sneered and said, "I didn't expect that someone like you who harbors a rebellious heart and disregards the feelings of fellow apprentices would care about other people's lives."
This statement is not only full of irony, but also extremely informative.
Hua Shengqing was about to ask when Nan Si Ning interrupted her, "Luo Qingyao, stop being so sarcastic! Senior Brother Hu represents Medicine King City when he's out there, and every move he makes reflects Medicine King City's intentions! You've already damaged Medicine King City's reputation by attacking the people in the secret realm. You don't take Medicine King City seriously, so what's wrong with Senior Brother Hu hitting you?"
Nan Sining guessed that Luo Qingyao's words might be related to the content of the transaction between her and Hu Yan, but now was not the time to ask about this.
The matter must be shameful, otherwise it would not become Luo Qingyao's handle to threaten Hu Yan. The most appropriate attitude for outsiders like them is to play deaf and dumb and pretend that they don't know about it.
As expected, after hearing Nan Si Ning's words, Hu Yan's expression relaxed a bit. He said, "Junior Sister Nan, what you said makes sense. Luo Qingyao, it's already my fault for letting you kill for the Purple Star Skyfire this time. If I allow you to continue using the Purple Star Skyfire to harm others, it would be a mistake on top of a mistake. How will Master look at me after I get out? How will my fellow junior brothers and sisters in Medicine King City look at me?"
Luo Qingyao quickly understood what Hu Yan meant. He wanted to overthrow Shen Tangyuan and inherit Medicine King City from the Medicine King. However, if he lost the favor of the Medicine King and the hearts of the disciples of Medicine King City before things even started, then no matter what method he used, his path to power would be full of difficulties.
Hu Yan is not a fool. He would not help Luo Qingyao kill people indiscriminately just for a promise that has not been fulfilled.
Hu Yan's attitude was very clear, and Luo Qingyao was really angry and anxious.
She knew that if Hu Yan did not stand on her side, she would have to fight against so many people alone, which was almost impossible, because she had already felt that the power of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire had declined a lot after fighting for such a long time, and her reliance was on this Ziwei Heavenly Fire.
Are we just going to give up like this?
Luo Qingyao's eyes flashed, and soon she became determined.
No, she didn't want to give up like this. This was a good opportunity to kill Nan Si Ning. If she missed this opportunity and let Nan Si Ning grow up, it would be more difficult in the future!
She just didn't believe that she couldn't kill Nan Si Ning!
As long as Nan Sining dies, she, the supporting actress, will have a chance to rise to the top and become the center of this world!
Nan Sining noticed that Luo Qingyao had moved and immediately prepared for defense. However, Luo Qingyao did not rush towards the three of them. Instead, she jumped onto the sword and flew in the opposite direction.
Hua Shengqing was stunned: "She...did she run away?"
Nan Si Ning looked in that direction and quickly reacted: "Quick! Chase her! She's not running away! She's going to kill someone! Use blood sacrifice to increase her strength!"
As soon as Nan Si Ning shouted, Hu Yan jumped and flew away. Hua Shengqing hurriedly picked up Nan Si Ning and put it on his sword and chased after him.
After Nan Si Ning managed to stand firmly on the sword, he said, "Senior Sister, you don't have to lead me. I can do it myself!"
Hua Shengqing immediately retorted, "Don't try to show off! Luo Qingyao has already broken all your magic weapons."
Nan Si Ning took out another lotus seat and said, "I have other magical instruments to carry me! Senior Sister, if we two stay together, our targets will be too concentrated and we will be easily taken down at once. If we act separately, we can still support each other!"
Hua Shengqing thought about it and agreed, so she let Nan Sining sit on the lotus seat.
Looking at Nan Si Ning sitting on the lotus seat, Hua Shengqing always felt something strange. Maybe it was because he had seen too many Buddhist monks sitting on lotus seats, so he felt that his junior sister was also going to become a monk.
When the two sisters rushed back to their original place, they saw Luo Qingyao rushing into the sheepfold like a hungry wolf, reaping the lives of several people with her sword.
Fortunately, Hu Yan arrived in time and Luo Qingyao had no time to use the second sword.
Even so, some people were frightened. Some knelt down and begged for mercy, while others crawled for their lives, looking very embarrassed.
Of course, there were also some brave ones who, after realizing what was happening, immediately cooperated with Hu Yan to launch a pincer attack on Luo Qingyao.
Fighting with so many people at the same time, Luo Qingyao suddenly felt the pressure doubled, but when she saw that the blood-colored jade plate was sucking blood vigorously, she gained confidence and used all her strength to fight against everyone.
Nan Sining and Hua Shengqing had no time to watch the battle. They both picked up their swords and quickly joined the battle.
Hu Yan was the one who led the battle with Luo Qingyao, while the others were mostly roaming around.
Hua Shengqing, who loves fighting, naturally didn't want to help others to plunder the battlefield, so she quickly joined the battle between Luo Qingyao and Hu Yan, helping Hu Yan to share a lot of pressure.
Nan Sining was very aware of her own fighting ability, so she did not rush to the front to show off her strength. Instead, she wandered around like everyone else, and then took advantage of Luo Qingyao's flaw to stab her with a sword.
Luo Qingyao was injured and in pain. She couldn't help but scream and turned around to kill Nan Sining.
Nan Si Ning quickly dodged backwards, while Hua Shengqing thrust his sword across, leaving a wound in Luo Qingyao's stomach. "Didn't your master teach you that you must never be distracted when fighting?! Have you learned all the sword techniques and sword spirits?!"
Luo Qingyao was injured and in excruciating pain. She couldn't even spare the time to take elixirs to heal her wounds. Hua Shengqing's angry scolding made her feel that she had not only lost face for herself, but also for her master!
