"I'll fight you to the death!"
Xu Qingqiu was surrounded by these demonic creatures and knew that there was no hope left.
So, the only option is to kill as many as possible before they torture me to death.
She held the longsword and channeled her immortal power.
He slashed at the monster in front of him, urging it to move.
"Whoosh!"
"puff!"
"..."
However, every time she slashed with her sword, it was as if she were looking at a stagnant pool of water.
It has absolutely no effect.
Instead, this drove the monsters even crazier.
"Prepare to die!"
"I've had enough fun!"
"She's mine now!"
"..."
After Xu Qingqiu slashed a few times, the demons finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to attack.
"Get out of here now, and I'll let you die a quick death!"
Just then, Ning Qi's voice came from outside the encirclement.
"Hey, another one's here!"
"act recklessly!"
"Kill him!"
"..."
Upon hearing his voice, the demons rushed towards Ning Qi.
"Ning Qi, watch out!"
Xu Qingqiu should have been happy to see Ning Qi.
But then she started to worry.
Ning Qi's strength is actually quite similar to hers.
She was no match for them, let alone Ning Qi.
These monsters are extremely strange and are practically invincible here.
"Crimson Flame Immortal Technique!"
Seeing the demons arrive, Ning Qi suddenly activated his immortal technique.
As he unleashed his immortal technique, the surrounding raging flames reignited.
It lunged to devour the monsters before it.
"ah!"
"What's this!"
"Divine Fire!"
"Why can you burn my soul!"
"..."
These demons were utterly powerless against the most intense yang fire in the world.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Qi burned it to ashes.
The stench of their decay was so strong that it dissipated into the air.
"Ning Qi!"
Xu Qingqiu watched as these demons were burned to ashes.
He rushed up excitedly and hugged Ning Qi tightly.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
Just now, she felt that her life was coming to an end.
But at this final moment, Ning Qi appeared.
It gave her renewed hope.
"Don't cry, we're all okay!"
Ning Qi gently patted her back and comforted her, "I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
"What happened to you just now? I didn't even know when we broke up!"
Xu Qingqiu let go of his hand after hearing his words of comfort, her eyes filled with grievance.
"I suddenly felt you grab my hand, and from that moment on, I knew something was wrong!"
Looking back, I couldn't see anything clearly, but gradually I felt that you weren't yourself!
"Then I was surrounded by monsters, and I wasn't a match for them at first!"
"Later, I used the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique and my Chaotic Blazing Flames, only to discover that they were actually afraid of my flames!"
Ning Qi laughed loudly: "In other words, we are invincible here."
"Whether it's the man-eating tree, these demonic gates, or those forests, none of them are a match for my Chaos Flame!"
"This place is my natural enemy!"
"This is truly unbelievable!"
"I was in the same situation as you!"
Xu Qingqiu finally understood what was going on: "Luckily you have the Chaos Flame, otherwise we would have been in real trouble."
"Let's go, let's keep going!"
"I believe they'll be out soon!"
As Ning Qi spoke, he took Xu Qingqiu's hand and squeezed it twice: "That's right, it's warm and feels good!"
"you!"
Xu Qingqiu blushed slightly at his words.
However, there was no way to refute it.
This is indeed a way to distinguish between humans and monsters.
"Alright, let's continue!"
"This will prevent them from taking advantage of any weaknesses!"
"So, I'm not trying to take advantage of you!"
Seeing her blushing face, Ning Qi couldn't help but smile and explain.
"Let's go! I don't want to stay here for another second!"
Xu Qingqiu stopped arguing and urged Ning Qi to leave quickly.
"good!"
Ning Qi agreed and then continued to lead the way.
Xu Qingqiu followed obediently behind him.
The two walked together for more than an hour, and the gray fog in front of them finally began to thin out.
"Finally out!"
After walking for a while, Xu Qingqiu saw the real oasis.
Even the Gobi Desert beneath our feet is gone.
At this moment, they were standing on soft grass.
"You two, come out now, we're safe!"
As Ning Qi spoke, he released Yao Ling and the Nine-Tailed Cat.
"call!"
"We're safe!"
We're out!
The two of them cheered and jumped for joy after they came out.
They were unaware of what had just happened.
Only when I saw the green mountains and clear waters before me did I realize that I was safe.
"Yes, it's safe now!"
Ning Qi looked at them, then looked ahead: "I feel like we've reached the end!"
"If we go out from here, we should reach the end of this route!"
"I'll see what lies at the end!"
"Alright! Let's hurry and set off!"
"Don't delay any longer!"
"It's getting late!"
Xu Qingqiu glanced at the sky.
After all that fuss, the sun was already starting to set again.
Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Set off!"
Ning Qi let out a long sigh and continued leading the way.
This time, they walked on a flat lawn, where there was a misty, ethereal atmosphere everywhere.
"Look, there's a road ahead!"
Yao Ling followed them for a while and saw the road ahead.
He said, bouncing around.
"This is more like the path of the immortal sects."
Looking at the road ahead, Ning Qi couldn't help but say, "It seems we've come to the right place!"
"Look, there's still a road ahead!"
Xu Qingqiu glanced ahead and pointed, saying, "You're right, we're finally out."
"I just don't know what this immortal sect will have."
The nine-tailed cat also came over, looking at the road with a curious expression.
"Why don't we go up and take a look?"
Ning Qi smiled and continued forward.
The group walked for about half an incense stick's time, and the sun had already begun to set.
They finally arrived at the gate of the Immortal Sect.
"This mountain gate is rather strange. Why is it different from the mountain gates of the immortal sects I've encountered before?"
Ning Qi looked at the immortal sect before him and couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.
Look here!
Xu Qingqiu discovered something and called Ning Qi over to check the situation.
Ning Qi quickly came over and checked the situation with him.
"This is... the mountain path of the Immortal Sect!"
"Only by going up from here can you gain the approval of the immortal sects!"
"There's a chance to become an inner disciple!"
Yao Ling read it aloud and couldn't help but say, "What we've experienced so far are all the entrance tests for the immortal sects!"
"The hills are actually designed to deliberately lure different people to different canyons."
"Going to different canyons presents different challenges! In other words, we all start with the same canyon."
"I see!"
Ning Qi suddenly realized.
"And another thing! The man-eating tree is the entry-level test for the trials in this canyon."
"What we're testing is our physical strength. Only those who aren't drained are qualified to keep going."
"The forest is a test of our insight!"
"The final monster is testing our resolve!"
Yao Ling continued to explain, "Master, we forced our way through every single level like this!"
"This is also our destiny; otherwise, who could have come here like this?"
Ning Qi couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "Keep reading, keep reading, and see if there's anything fishy going on!"
"Master, these stone steps are a test of our resilience!"
"That is, our physical body and our soul can resist multiple layers of pressure."
"There are a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps here!"
"If you can pass the last stone step, you will become their personal disciple."
"Breaking through a thousand marks you as an inner disciple!"
Yao Ling continued.
"Oh? The ability to withstand pressure?"
"Isn't this the same as my 'Three Thousand Like Waters'?"
Ning Qi burst into laughter upon hearing Yao Ling's words.
I never expected that I would encounter such a test after getting here.
Isn't this just a test delivered right to his doorstep?
"Can you withstand this kind of pressure?"
Xu Qingqiu naturally understood his words and looked at Ning Qi with curiosity, asking him a question.
"Yes, this is too easy for me!"
"It's getting late, I'll teach you all night."
"If you learn from me and comprehend it in one night, we can go up together tomorrow!"
Ning Qi laughed loudly and then said, "You two should follow my example and go up the mountain together!"
"Huh? Can we?"
The nine-tailed cat asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Of course, my master is very powerful!"
Yao Ling, on the other hand, had a smug look on his face.
"Come, let me teach you how to resist this pressure!"
"Let's start with my formation!"
Ning Qi, true to his word, immediately began setting up his Ruoshui Three Thousand Formation on the ground.
At first, the group was slow, but under his guidance...
Before it got completely dark, Xu Qingqiu actually learned Ning Qi's water ripple Daoist technique.
The nine-tailed cat and the medicine spirit were only slightly different; the latter had learned how to resist the pressure.
And how to use one's own soul to resist this oppression.
They studied like that until the wee hours of the morning.
Nine-Tailed Cat and Medicine Spirit went to bed early.
Only Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu remained.
"Ning Qi, I've already learned it!"
Xu Qingqiu smiled and said to Ning Qi.
At this moment, there was an array beneath her feet, namely Ruoshui Sanqian.
"You have great talent. I knew that from the moment I saw you break through the formation and climb the mountain!"
Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to go to the backyard of that bamboo house."
"I should thank you for helping me time and time again."
Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi with her beautiful eyes and continued, "Especially today, if it weren't for you, I would have chosen to self-destruct!"
"You're welcome, you've helped me a lot too!"
"Especially since I had company along the way, it wasn't too boring to talk to each other!"
Ning Qi shook his head and smiled, "Once we leave here, this trip is over!"
"I need to go back to my territory to check on things! I've been out here for a while now!"
"I wonder how they are doing."
"Yes, I've been out for a while now."
"I believe that once we get out, Master and Uncle-Master are still here."
"This place is too big. It will be very slow for them to search one by one!"
Xu Qingqiu sighed and glanced at Ning Qi: "You're going back now. I'll come find you when I have the chance and visit your mountain gate!"
"Sure, I'm always welcome!"
Upon hearing her words, Ning Qi clapped his hands and said, "When the time comes, I'll let you taste the delicacies of our realm!"
"Go outside, I'll introduce you to my master and the others!"
They'll definitely like you!
"We are a hospitable nation!"
Xu Qingqiu became more and more excited as she spoke, and was already preparing to introduce Ning Qi.
"If the opportunity arises, then yes!"
"However, let's go up the mountain tomorrow and see what benefits there are of becoming a direct disciple here!"
"After all, the immortal sects here have probably been destroyed many years ago!"
Ning Qi sighed and looked up at the top of the stone steps in front of him.
Looking back, one can vaguely see some magnificent palaces and pavilions.
Clearly, this is the mountain behind the mountain gate.
However, if you want to get up there, you have to get past this hurdle first.
Ning Qi is now full of confidence.
He was confident that he could pass the test.
"Yes, we can definitely do it!"
Xu Qingqiu responded.
The two chatted for a while longer before drifting off to sleep.
The night flew by, and when they woke up again...
They were found to be lying on the same bluestone slab.
The two people were snuggling together.
When Ning Qi woke up, he found that Xu Qingqiu had just opened her eyes and was looking at him.
There was still a hint of shyness in her eyes.
"Oh dear... I fell asleep while we were chatting last night!"
Ning Qi was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Damn it."
"We fell asleep because we were so tired!"
Xu Qingqiu chuckled, her eyes filled with a strange look as she looked at the embarrassed Ning Qi.
This was the first time she had ever seen Ning Qi so embarrassed.
He himself wasn't absolutely certain of anything, but he was.
"Owner!"
Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming awkward, the call of the Medicine Spirit came through.
"What's wrong? Why are you shouting so early in the morning!"
Ning Qi heard his shout and said irritably.
At the same time, he sat up from the bluestone slab and looked down.
Yao Ling sat on the back of the nine-tailed cat, and in a few leaps, she arrived at their side.
Shall we set off now?
The nine-tailed cat also looked at Xu Qingqiu curiously and asked about their arrangements.
"Yes, let's set off now and test its strength!"
Xu Qingqiu nodded and sat up as well, looking up at the stone steps in front of her.
"Let's go then! I feel like I can go straight to the top of the mountain!"
Yao Lingfei was very confident and couldn't wait any longer.
"Let's go! Let's go up the mountain and check the situation."
Ning Qi nodded, then looked at Xu Qingqiu: "Miss Xu, are you ready?"
"Of course, let's see who gets to the top of the mountain first!"
Xu Qingqiu nodded and walked forward.
Ning Qi followed closely behind.
Yao Ling jumped off the nine-tailed cat's back and landed on Ning Qi's shoulder, asking mysteriously, "Master, are you two having an affair? I saw you two sleeping together last night!"
"Shut up!"
Ning Qi reprimanded them. (End of Chapter)
