Chapter 16: Different paths lead to emotional pain
"Although foxes are spiritual, it is not easy to practice Taoism. Why bother with fighting?" Lingxiang sighed.
"You and I have never offended each other, but you chose to ruin my good deeds and come to die. It would be disrespectful to refuse such a kind invitation!" Liu Yaoyi said, using her claws as blades to kill Lingxiang.
Lingxiang couldn't help but sneer when she saw this. She pushed Long Qi aside and then used the Lotus Heart Sword Technique with her right hand.
"Heh! Although you are one level higher than me, you are still a forest spirit after all. When it comes to this method, it is not certain who can be better than you!" As he said, he used his finger as a sword and rushed forward.
Although she said this, she was not very sure in her heart. The reason why she mentioned the magic just now was actually to delay time. However, Liu Yaoyi was obviously unwilling to give in, so she had to bite the bullet and do it.
She filled her right hand with energy and formed a sword. She took a deep breath and leaped in front of Liu Yaoyi, leaning forward and stabbing her in the heart.
But Yaoyi was a demon of the Charm Level after all. She transformed her energy into wind and wrapped it around her left claw. With a light wave, she deflected the sword move. She then instantly gathered her energy into fire and wrapped it around her right claw, aiming straight at Lingxiang's face.
Lingxiang dodged by bending down, spun around, and turned around to sweep towards Yaoyi's lower body. At the same time, she pinched her left hand and made a magnificent move. The invisible energy immediately hit Yaoyi.
Yaoyi transformed her energy into wind and used the wind as a shield to wrap herself up, taking the move. After the move was resolved, she transformed the wind shield into countless wind blades and shot them towards Lingxiang.
Seeing this, Lingxiang retreated quickly, clasping her hands together and practicing the Bolangbujing Jue to resist, but Yaoyi's wind blades kept shooting out like falling beans, and even with her hands clasped together, she was still forced to retreat.
Seeing the shield about to break, two yellow talismans flew towards Yao Yi. Yao Yi hurriedly withdrew her strength to dodge, but one still stuck to the corner of her clothes. She was shocked: "Oh no!" But for a long time, the talisman power did not take effect.
"Oh, it didn't work." Long Qi scratched his head and looked at the talisman in his hand. "How could this be? It doesn't make sense!"
Seeing this, Lingxiang rolled her eyes: You stupid guy, why do you think I pulled you aside?
"I actually forgot about you." Yao Yi said, kicking towards Long Qi with the speed of the wind.
Although Long Qi's cultivation was shallow, he had practiced martial arts for several years. When he saw Yao Yi attacking him, he quickly threw away the talisman and dodged.
Yao Yi turned around and chased after him, but Long Qi was as agile as a rabbit and no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up.
After carrying water for a month, Lingxiang developed better leg strength, and she couldn't help feeling relieved.
Yao Yi was also tired of chasing him, so she used a move called "Swallowing Mountains and Rivers" to imprison Long Qi. When she got close to him, she kicked him towards Lingxiang.
Lingxiang was practicing the Waves and Tides Technique to seal Yaoyi's hands and feet, but just as she was concentrating, Long Qi came flying over and they crashed into the corridor. Her internal energy was forced back, and she was hit by gravity, so she fainted for a moment.
Long Qi felt dizzy and seemed to have bumped into something. When he stood up while covering the painful spot, he saw Lingxiang with blood coming out of the corner of her mouth. He hurried forward and hugged her. His thoughts became confused for a moment.
…
"Really? Then you must take good care of her from now on!"
…
A blurry figure flashed before his eyes. Long Qi couldn't remember who it was, but the gentle voice made him inexplicably irritated.
He broke his promise!
He promised to protect her, but he was so incompetent...
Long Qi himself didn't know why it was considered a broken promise. He only knew that he would be alone again!
All the past events are still vivid in my mind, as if they were happening again.
The courtyard was covered in blood, even the moon was reflected in red...
"Xiao Qi, hide here and don't make any noise..."
"Xiao Qi, no matter what, you must survive!"
His brother's instructions were still ringing in his ears, but then came the howling sounds that made him irritable and anxious.
Air swirled around Long Qi's body, and Yao Yi couldn't help but feel a chill.
This is a breakthrough!
Although this young boy has little cultivation, his power will increase dramatically the moment he breaks through the realm, so we must not let him succeed.
Yao Yi rushed forward with the wind in her claws, but it was too late. Just when she was about to hit Long Qi, a powerful force pushed her away!
Long Qi has entered the Qi Refining stage!
But he seemed to be abnormal, and he rushed towards Yao Yi with his punch regardless of anything.
"Ha! Even though you've broken through the realm, you still don't understand the Dao techniques. There's a huge gap between you and me, yet you still dream of fighting me? How ridiculous!"
Yao Yi easily pushed Long Qi aside, but Long Qi seemed to feel no pain no matter whether he was knocked down or cut by the wind blade. He stood up again and rushed towards her like a wild beast.
Just as Long Qi stood up again and was about to rush out, a heart-clearing talisman was stuck to his back. It was spiritual incense!
She woke up just when Long Qi broke through, but she was injured and unable to move.
It would be a good thing if Long Qi entered the Qi Refining stage under normal circumstances, but now his mind is damaged and he has lost his willpower. If he tries to break through by force, he may go astray and damage his foundation.
After Long Qi was covered in blood and fought back several times, Lingxiang finally gathered enough strength to stand up and stuck the Qingxin Talisman on Long Qi's back.
What made him lose himself?
Only then did Lingxiang realize that she didn't actually understand Long Qi, and Long Qi was not as frivolous as he usually appeared.
The curse seal on the talisman flashed with light, and Long Qi came back to his senses instantly. He felt a sharp pain all over his body and sat down unsteadily for a moment.
Only then did he notice Lingxiang behind him, leaning on his back as if exhausted.
She's still alive!
very nice!
She's still alive!
Huh? Why are you so worried about her?
What happened just now?
Long Qi was grimacing in pain at this moment, but his heart was full of doubts.
"Hmph! You bunch of stinky Taoists are always meddling in other people's business! I had no intention of killing anyone, but now that you know everything about me, I have no choice but to take your lives!" Yao Yi said, raising her claws to kill the two of them.
Long Qi wanted to dodge, but then he thought about how Lingxiang would be in trouble, so he turned around and hugged her without hesitation. Only then did he wonder why he was protecting her like this.
Lingxiang was also puzzled. Could it be that the relationship between Long Qi and her as master and disciple was so deep, or did he really want to recognize her as his mother?
Just when Yao Yi was about to hit the two of them, a figure rushed out and stood in front of them, and she pierced through the heart!
Seeing that Yao Yi was still not coming to attack, Long Qi couldn't help but turn around and saw that it was Zhuang Wei who took the attack for them!
Yao Yi felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and was unable to recover for a long time.
"Yaoyi...Yaoyi..." Wei Zhuang called her softly and his body slowly fell down.
Liu Yaoyi hurried forward and hugged him, but her face was still full of disbelief and tears were streaming down her face.
"Yaoyi... Yaoyi..." Wei Zhuang endured the severe pain and touched her face with trembling hands. "Don't make the same mistake again..."
When the blood-stained hand touched her, she grabbed his hand as if frightened and cried out:
"Husband!"
The hand that had turned into a demon claw pressed the bloody hole that was bleeding in panic, but it was in vain. Wei Zhuang's blood continued to overflow, staining the stone road in the courtyard red, staining Yao Yi's clothes red, and also staining her eyes red.
"Husband...Husband...Don't leave me...Husband!"
Yao Yi had a sad face and kept stroking Wei Zhuang's face.
"Yaoyi... listen to me..." Wei Zhuang's face was pale and he had lost all his strength. "I am content to marry you in this life. I know you did it because of me, but don't do anything to hurt others again. It will only make you suffer. You will be left alone in the future..." Wei Zhuang wanted to look at Yaoyi a few more times, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his eyes.
Ah! His wife was still so beautiful, just like the day they first met, with clear eyes...
Seeing Wei Zhuang closing his eyes, Yao Yi's face was filled with sorrow.
"Husband! Husband!"
She kept crying and shouting, but Wei Zhuang's body in her arms gradually became colder and lifeless.
When Lu Ying arrived, he saw Yao Yi sitting on the ground with an expressionless face, holding Wei Zhuang, while Ling Xiang was protected by Long Qi and sitting not far away.
Lingxiang asked him to find Mr. Zhuang and tell him the truth, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.
