Chapter 34: Luo Qingyao's tragic defeat
Luo Qingyao was filled with rage, but she burst out with a very strong will. She gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain in her body, and attacked more fiercely, injuring two disciples of Yaowang City at once.
Hu Yan hadn't expected Luo Qingyao to give them Medicine King City any respect. He couldn't help but yell at her, "Luo Qingyao! Don't be so greedy! You've already got the Ziwei Heavenly Fire!"
Luo Qingyao sneered and ignored him, still dancing with the sword in her hand full of murderous intent.
Nan Si Ning remained silent, and took advantage of Luo Qingyao's busy dealing with the joint attack of Hu Yan and Hua Shengqing to find a flaw and attack Luo Qingyao.
After injuring Luo Qingyao's arms and legs several times, Nan Sining finally found an opportunity and stabbed Luo Qingyao in the abdomen.
Luo Qingyao was shocked and was about to chop down Nan Si Ning with the sword in her hand.
"Get out of the way!"
Nan Sining heard someone shouting to remind her.
Nan Sining did not retreat at all. Instead, he used all his strength to push the sword forward a few inches.
The abdomen is where the Dantian of a cultivator is located. In the book, almost everyone in Cijian Peak had their Dantian and tendons destroyed by Luo Qingyao in various ways, becoming disabled and dying in despair and pain. This was even more so for the original owner, who not only had his Dantian and Purple Palace destroyed, but even his useless spiritual roots were dug out by Luo Qingyao for fun.
Nan Si Ning was determined to try his best to severely injure Luo Qingyao and let her experience how painful it was to become a useless person who couldn't practice cultivation!
Nan Sining thrust his sword forward and quickly mobilized the fire spiritual power in his dantian, following the stabbing sword and entering Luo Qingyao's body.
The damage caused by the fire spiritual power to Luo Qingyao is not as simple as the damage caused by the sword which can only harm the body. It is an attack caused by the repulsion of the five elements. If Luo Qingyao wants to practice smoothly like before, she must eliminate the fire spiritual power in her body.
The only pity is that if Luo Qingyao was in the Jindan stage, this fire spiritual power could directly penetrate into her Jindan, causing more lasting damage.
It's a pity that she is just a Qi Refiner.
When Luo Qingyao's sword was about to fall, Hu Yan threw a defensive talisman to her in time. Luo Qingyao's sword slid out with a clang, without hurting Nan Sining at all.
Luo Qingyao was about to use her second move when she met Nan Sining's eyes without any preparation. However, she saw only murderous intent and determination in her eyes, without a trace of fear or terror.
Luo Qingyao was stunned for a moment. Nan Si Ning was not afraid of death?
Meeting Luo Qingyao's gaze, Nan Sining curled the corners of his mouth. He didn't expect that Luo Qingyao's fear of death was much deeper than he imagined!
The next moment, Nan Si Ning was pushed away by Hua Shengqing's palm, and Hua Shengqing himself blocked Luo Qingyao's second attack for Nan Si Ning.
Blood was already flowing from the corner of Luo Qingyao's mouth. She felt the stab in her abdomen that Nan Sining had just made, which hurt her greatly. She could feel her spiritual power draining away rapidly.
The second sword aimed at Nan Si Ning was knocked away by Hua Shengqing. Luo Qingyao simply threw away the sword and waved to take back the jade plate that had absorbed blood.
After the jade plate returned to Luo Qingyao's hands, Luo Qingyao's whole demeanor changed drastically.
Hu Yan's heart skipped a beat and he shouted, "Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"
Everyone immediately flew away from Luo Qingyao. At this moment, Luo Qingyao trembled, and fire exploded directly at her feet, enveloping her entire body in flames.
Two people who reacted slowly were swallowed up by the scorching red flames before they could even finish their screams because they evacuated too slowly.
When Hu Yan saw this situation, his eyebrows twitched. He really underestimated the extent of Luo Qingyao's madness!
"Hurry up! Luo Qingyao used evil magic to forcibly increase the power of Ziwei Sky Fire!" Hu Yan said anxiously.
After hearing Hu Yan's words, many people went straight to their flying magic weapons without saying a word and fled like a stream of light.
Luo Qingyao ignored those people. She was still gathering strength. The fire on her body burned more and more vigorously, and the color became redder and redder, almost turning half of the sky red.
Nan Sining immediately summoned the Lotus Throne and was about to escape, but as soon as he jumped on it, he was pulled onto Hua Shengqing's sword.
"Senior Sister, let's escape separately!" Nan Si Ning said hurriedly.
Hua Shengqing seemed particularly nervous and serious at this moment: "Whether we are together or apart, Luo Qingyao will only chase you. As a senior sister, I must protect you. Stand still and don't move. We will fly very fast."
Hua Shengqing felt heavy in her heart. Now that her third senior brother was injured and unconscious, the responsibility of protecting her younger junior sister fell on her, the seventh senior sister.
In the past, her senior brothers and sisters stood in front of her, so it was not her turn to risk her life to protect her junior sister.
Now it's her turn, and she must take responsibility for this matter.
Hua Shengqing really used all his strength and increased the speed of flying the sword to the fastest. Nan Sining felt the wind blowing in his ears and felt like he was about to be blown away.
Even so, in less than half a cup of tea, Nan Si Ning felt his hair stand on end and a strong sense of crisis came over him.
Looking back, it turned out that Luo Qingyao had accumulated enough strength. With just two steps, she had already caught up with the two people.
What kind of weird technique is this from Luo Qingyao that can actually utilize the laws of space to a certain extent?!
Nan Si Ning was shocked. She quickly set up a defensive formation to protect herself and her seventh senior sister.
But a burst of laughter was heard. It was Luo Qingyao's laughter. Her voice seemed to hit the edge of the secret realm and bounced back, forming a reverberation effect.
This effect will give people a feeling that the opponent is extremely powerful, as if the opponent is right in front, behind, left and right of you, covering you up, and you can't escape from the opponent's palm no matter how hard you try, which creates huge psychological pressure.
"A struggling ant, overestimating its own capabilities." Luo Qingyao's words were full of sarcasm.
Hua Shengqing covered Nan Sining's mouth without thinking.
Nan Sining:?
Hua Shengqing sighed: "I'm afraid you'll say something irritating again and make her go crazy, and we'll both die faster."
Nan Sining: ...
However, Luo Qingyao had already caught up with the two of them. Even if they didn't fight back, they wouldn't be able to live much longer.
Not long after the two sisters finished talking, Luo Qingyao was already behind them. It was just a blink of an eye.
The scorching temperature had already caused some pain to the two people. Hua Shengqing's sword also showed signs of melting, and it was flying crookedly and unstable, but Hua Shengqing gritted his teeth and tried to hold on.
Nan Si Ning swallowed hard. Was he really going to die? He had only been in this world for over a month, and he was going to die at Luo Qingyao's hands?
Damn it, I really can’t accept this!
Nan Sining clenched the thunder bomb in his hand, wondering what would happen to Luo Qingyao if he blew her up at this distance.
Just when Nan Sining was about to throw all the thunder bombs at Luo Qingyao, determined not to let her off even if he died, a black shadow suddenly flew over and collided directly with the flaming Luo Qingyao, and soon there was an earth-shaking explosion.
Nan Sining only felt a sudden burst of white light in front of her eyes, burning her eyes, and her tears flowed down.
A deafening, earth-shattering vibration could be heard, as if thunder from the horizon were exploding right next to my ears, making them buzz and silencing all other sounds between heaven and earth. The entire earth was shaking, and even the sky seemed to be unable to hold on, setting off a tremor like an ocean storm...
Nan Sining felt that she and Hua Shengqing both fell from the sword into the sand. Hua Shengqing grabbed her tightly and threw all kinds of defensive formations and talismans at the two of them, but they still could not withstand the powerful impact and pressure, and the two were buried deeply in the sand.
Nan Si Ning felt dazed and couldn't help but wonder: Is Third Brother okay? Is he hiding well?
What Nan Si Ning didn't know was that even the people in Yaowang City outside had noticed the commotion in the secret realm.
Yao Wang and Shen Tangyuan both came to the outside of the secret realm as soon as possible to check the situation.
"Didn't nephew Nan and the others go to the secret realm to subdue the strange fire? Why did they cause such a big commotion?"
Chen Tangyuan said respectfully, "Master, Junior Brother Zhou, Junior Sister Hua, and Junior Sister Nan have all entered the secret realm to subdue the strange fire."
The Medicine King stroked his long beard and asked, "Besides this, who else is there?"
Chen Tangyuan immediately reported a string of names, explaining which ones were disciples of Yaowang City and which ones were helpers hired by the disciples.
Medicine King immediately grasped the key point: "Your second junior brother also brought people in?"
Chen Tangyuan responded, “Disciple checked the list of people who entered the Strange Fire Secret Realm this time, and that’s what it says.”
"Luo Qingyao...this name sounds familiar..." Medicine King muttered to himself.
Chen Tangyuan immediately revealed that Luo Qingyao was the youngest disciple of the Canglan Sect's leader, and recounted the grudge between her and Nan Si Ning.
The Medicine King nodded. "It seems that my nephew Nan and she are enemies, and their eyes are particularly red. Such a big commotion, I'm afraid it was caused by the two of them."
Chen Tangyuan asked, "Master, should I go in and take a look?"
Seeing such a big commotion coming from the Strange Fire Secret Realm, Chen Tangyuan felt uneasy. He had originally said that he would accompany Nan Si Ning into the secret realm, but he was temporarily delayed by something and had to let the people from Cijian Peak accompany Nan Si Ning in.
If Nan Sining, a rare alchemy genius in a thousand years, encountered any accident in the secret realm, Chen Tangyuan felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
The Medicine King pondered for a moment and said, "You don't need to go in yet. Just stand outside and watch. Your Second Junior Brother is inside, so I'm sure there won't be any major problems."
"Yes, Master." Shen Tangyuan said respectfully.
After a while, Qin Sangyue and Liang Xiao also arrived. Seeing that Chen Tangyuan didn't know what happened in the secret realm, they could only suppress their temper and wait.
*
Not only were the people outside the secret realm confused, even Luo Qingyao, the person involved, was a little bewildered.
Just when she was about to take Nan Si Ning's life, suddenly a powerful impact hit her, which not only shook her soul and sent her flying dozens of miles away, but also shattered the Ziwei Heavenly Fire on her body. The entire Ziwei Heavenly Fire was like an exploded firework, not only shattered into pieces, but also scattered all over the secret realm.
The entire secret realm seemed to be raining fire. Many strange fires burst out directly. The powerful strange fires swallowed some fragments of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, while the weaker strange fires were swallowed by the fragments of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire...
As for the culprit who hit Luo Qingyao, Luo Qingyao couldn't see him clearly, she only saw a black figure.
This violent collision not only brought about a rain of fire, but also caused everyone who was fleeing frantically in the secret realm to scramble to come up with various defensive measures to avoid being hurt by the fragments of the sky fire.
The power of Ziwei Sky Fire is incredible, even just its fragments can cause very great damage.
The entire secret realm also shook for a long time under the influence of the aftermath of the collision. The buzzing sound resounded throughout the secret realm for a long time before gradually disappearing. The sense of vibration also gradually subsided after that.
Hu Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the secret realm did not collapse. A feeling of relief and joy for surviving the disaster filled his heart. He had not faced such a life-and-death situation for a long time.
When the entire secret realm was shaking just now, he thought it was going to collapse.
If the secret realm collapses, not to mention how great the loss will be to Yaowang City, even those of them who are still in the secret realm will definitely be buried there.
Fortunately, as long as I am alive, everything else is just a small matter.
After calming down, Hu Yan released his spiritual sense and began to search for those who were still alive. Once he found them, he sent them out of the secret realm.
At this time in the secret realm, because of the rain of Ziwei Sky Fire fragments, the strange fires were a little restless, and some strange fires that were usually hidden appeared at this time.
Next, this secret realm will probably become a battlefield for fighting among the strange fires. If the monks stay here, they will probably die.
After sending out all the living disciples and non-disciples, Hu Yan collected some corpses. Finally, he found the dying Luo Qingyao at the edge of the secret realm.
At this time, Luo Qingyao was lying on the ground covered in blood, and her blood-colored jade plate was nowhere to be found. Perhaps it was turned into powder in the explosion?
Hu Yan looked at Luo Qingyao, who was lying on the ground at the mercy of others, with a heavy gaze. The female cultivator, whose body was broken and so weak, not only did not arouse a trace of sympathy in Hu Yan, but even made him furious.
If it weren't for her, if it weren't for this selfish, self-centered woman, his fellow disciples wouldn't have died or been injured, and there wouldn't have been such a big commotion in this secret realm!
Now, even the rare treasure Ziwei Sky Fire was destroyed in her hands, causing heavy losses to Yaowang City.
Thinking that after leaving this secret realm, he would have to face the accountability of his master and other people in Yaowang City, face the corpses of his dead fellow disciples, and face the result that the image and reputation he had worked hard to build for many years would be damaged or even collapsed... Hu Yan couldn't help but take action. He directly grabbed Luo Qingyao's neck and lifted her up like a dead chicken.
He pinched Luo Qingyao's neck hard, and Luo Qingyao's face turned from white to blue, and she was about to die.
At this moment, Hu Yan's heart ached, his eyes went dark, his body went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.
This was the warning given to him by the Heavenly Oath.
If he killed Luo Qingyao, he would be breaking the oath he made, and he would also die.
After Hu Yan took a deep breath, he gradually regained his senses, and his trembling body gradually calmed down after a long time.
The power of heaven is truly terrifying.
When he looked at Luo Qingyao again, Hu Yan's resentment and disgust deepened, but he could only accept his fate and pick her up and send her out of the secret realm.
As long as Luo Qingyao is still alive when she leaves the secret realm, he will not be considered to have violated his oath to heaven.
After sending Luo Qingyao away, Hu Yan continued to use his spiritual sense to search for the three people from Cijian Peak.
The strange thing was that no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the three people, not even any trace of their bodies.
What's going on?
*
After being buried in the sand for a long time, Nan Sining finally woke up.
It took her a while to gradually remember who she was, where she was, and what she had experienced.
"Oh my god, where's my senior sister?"
Thinking of the last moment when Hua Shengqing risked her life to protect him, Nan Sining suddenly sat up in shock from his dying illness and began to search frantically.
Fortunately, Hua Shengqing was not far away from her, and Nan Sining dug her out of the sand.
The shock Hua Shengqing suffered was much greater than that of Nan Si Ning, so she was still unconscious.
Nan Si Ning checked her breath to make sure she was still alive, then used his spiritual power to check her tendons and veins as well as her dantian. After making sure that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and fed Hua Shengqing a lot of pills.
After sitting next to Hua Shengqing in a daze for a while, Nan Sining felt her rationality return to her brain, and she gradually remembered what had just happened.
Just when he was about to die at the hands of Luo Qingyao, suddenly a black object hit Luo Qingyao, who was almost merged with the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, and then a deafening explosion occurred.
If it weren't for the many magical instruments and talismans protecting the two of them, they would have gone to the underworld hand in hand today.
However, that black thing saved my life, but I don’t know what it was.
Just as Nan Si Ning was thinking, a black thing silently walked to Nan Si Ning's side, then squatted down, imitating Nan Si Ning's appearance and posing a thinking posture.
Nan Sining: ...
No need to think about it, it was this little guy who made the noise.
This little guy saved his life, and Nan Sining couldn't blame him for anything. Although he used up so many magic tools and talismans, at least he saved his life, right?
Nan Si Ning stretched out his hand and pulled the little beast to stand up: "Let me see if you are injured."
The little beast stood up obediently and let Nan Si Ning pull him around.
Nan Si Ning took a closer look. This little thing now looked even cleaner than when he ate the snake before and got his face and body covered in blood. The leather armor, as white as black jade, was still cool to the touch, and it really felt like cool jade.
Seeing that there were no external injuries on its body, Nan Si Ning was still worried that it had internal injuries, so he simply took out the pills and fed them all to it.
The little beast accepted all the food and was even quite impatient. As soon as it finished the previous one, it was looking forward to eating the next one.
Seeing the little beast's anxious look, Nan Si Ning couldn't help but say, "Fortunately, my alchemy skills are good, and the pills I made don't have much poison. Otherwise, if you were to eat them like you were eating, I don't know how much poison would have accumulated in your body."
The little beast seemed to understand what was said and rubbed Nan Si Ning's hand in a flattering manner. Nan Si Ning deliberately hummed and said, "Don't think you can please me this way."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Si Ning felt a warm and wet sensation in her hand, and the little beast actually licked her hand!
Nan Si Ning's mind went blank for a few breaths. When he came to his senses, he said with a bit of embarrassment and annoyance: "What are you doing?! You can't lick it randomly! It's too dirty, do you know?!"
Although this little beast looked nothing like a human, Nan Sining couldn't help but treat it as a human, because it clearly had the same temperament and preferences as a human, and behaved like a human, as if this strange appearance contained a human soul.
The little beast just nodded obediently, looking at Nan Sining with a pair of eyes that were pious and obedient, which made her heart soften immediately.
Forget it, no one has taught it these things, so it’s normal that it doesn’t understand. I’ll learn it slowly later.
After seeing that the little beast was indeed fine, Nan Si Ning remembered his third senior brother whom he had asked it to take care of, and hurriedly asked where his third senior brother was.
After the little beast understood, it waved its little paws, and Nan Sining saw a transparent bubble appear out of thin air not far away, and Zhou Lixing was lying peacefully in it, seemingly unaffected by any impact.
Nan Si Ning couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't expect that the little beast had such a skill!
After a while, Nan Si Ning gradually came back to his senses and said, "It's okay now. Let's put Third Brother down first."
The little beast immediately placed Zhou Lixing gently next to Hua Shengqing, and then looked at Nan Sining expectantly.
Nan Si Ning also praised thoughtfully: "Well done!"
The little animal's eyes suddenly lit up, and joy overflowed from its eyes.
Nan Si Ning smiled, this little guy is really easy to coax.
Nan Sining also checked Zhou Lixing and found that the third senior brother was not affected at all. He knew that it was the little beast who made special arrangements for him, so he praised and rewarded the little beast.
The little beast was so happy that he took out something that was so shiny and even a little dazzling and handed it to Nan Si Ning.
Nan Si Ning squinted his eyes and asked, "What is this?"
The little beast just handed it to her but couldn't tell what it was.
Nan Si Ning tried to take it and found that it was scorching hot, so hot that he could hardly hold it. However, the power was extremely pure and powerful. Nan Si Ning couldn't help but compare it with the Zi Wei Heavenly Fire. He actually felt that this thing was even more powerful than the Zi Wei Heavenly Fire?!
"My head must still be dizzy." Nan Si Ning muttered.
Seeing that Nan Si Ning was holding the ball of light and just looking at it without any other movement, the little beast stood up eagerly and slapped the ball of light. Nan Si Ning felt that the ball of light was directly slapped into her body. After entering her dantian, it went straight to her fire spirit root.
So, Nan Si Ning had the rare opportunity to directly witness his fire spirit root, which had grown visibly like a bamboo shoot!
Nan Si Ning:!!!
Is this okay?
After the ball of light merged into the fire spirit root, Nan Sining quickly realized that this ball of light was called Pure Bright Yang Fire. Perhaps another name - True Sun Fire - would be easier to understand.
Ziwei Heavenly Fire is the power of the Big Dipper. With the superficial astronomical knowledge that Nan Si Ning learned in the modern world, he knows that all the visible stars in the sky are actually fixed stars like the sun.
Theoretically speaking, both Ziwei Heavenly Fire and Sun True Fire come from the power of stars, but compared to the distant Big Dipper, the sun is much closer, so its power has a much greater impact on the world.
The most intuitive manifestation is that the Sun True Fire's position in the Strange Fire List is far higher than the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, and it ranks first!
The little beast took Nan Si Ning's hand and passed this information into Nan Si Ning's mind. Nan Si Ning was completely stunned.
