Chapter 197: Working Together to Provoke the Enemy
"Quick! Stop him! Make him stop!" Lingxiang shouted loudly with a panicked look on her face.
In a flash, as Lingxiang finished speaking, Liu Xia unleashed the spiritual energy he had already gathered and leaped towards Xinyi, his speed no less swift than her own magic. But just as he was about to stop her, Xinyi dodged and disappeared in an instant.
Liu Xia's attack was in vain. He looked around, hoping to see Xinyi clearly, but there was nothing to see except flying sand and rocks. As soon as Long Qi saw that Xinyi had disappeared, he immediately drew his sword and tightly protected Lingxiang.
At this moment, Lingxiang shouted, "Stop him! He's going to attack Bai Wuchang!"
Long Qi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Bai Wuchang. Sure enough, he saw Xinyi's figure in the confusion, and he was rushing towards Bai Wuchang rapidly.
Everyone immediately understood that Xinyi was going to sacrifice his life. He simply couldn't choose between them and his mother, and he had never thought of hurting anyone!
He wants to give up himself!
Facing the rushing Xinyi, Bai Wuchang remained calm, not panicking at all. He sneered, "A mere trifle!" Then he waved the folding fan in his hand, and a gust of strong wind dispelled Xinyi's magic in a moment. With his other hand, he easily clamped Xinyi's double swords with just two fingers.
He held two knives in one hand with a calm expression, which showed that he had a high level of cultivation.
It was impossible to say that he was not afraid, but Zhao Wuyang had no intention of retreating. He used his spiritual power and flicked his finger towards the soft sword in his hand. The sword instantly emitted a blue fluorescent light, and then he took a deep breath and stabbed towards Bai Wuchang.
It's Ba Mo Qing Hui! Senior Brother Qian Yuan actually taught him such a profound technique. Isn't it a bit too early?
Just as Lingxiang was surprised, Zhao Wuyang had already arrived in front of Bai Wuchang. Bai Wuchang frowned, raised his hand, and clamped Zhao Wuyang's sword with the gap of his folding fan. Then, he turned the fan slightly and flung Zhao Wuyang out! Seeing this, Liu Xia quickly reached out to catch Zhao Wuyang.
"Although Wuyang's power is limited, it seems that Bai Wuchang is very afraid of his sword." Lingxiang came back to her senses and said to Long Qi, "Don't worry about me, go help them."
Long Qi looked at Ling Xiang with an uneasy expression. Ling Xiang knew that he was worried about her, so she quickly said, "He wants me alive, but he wants your lives. If you anger him, the consequences will be disastrous. Can't you tell which is more important?!"
After hearing what Lingxiang said, Long Qi hesitated for a moment, and then after hearing Lingxiang's interjection of "Go!", he finally raised his sword and rushed forward.
Lingxiang couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. Her most pressing task was to quickly solve the mystery of the deep pool's water mirror so everyone could escape. Her mind raced, struggling to gather every detail from her memory.
Master Xuan Huai of Kunwu Sect once said that pure spiritual water could make the Penglai Jade Branch come alive again. He also stared at her Panlong Jade meaningfully. It was obvious that he knew about the Water Spirit Pearl. It seemed that it was the old Kunwu Sect Master who entrusted the Water Spirit Pearl to the Long family many years ago.
But even if I knew this, how could I use the Water Spirit Pearl to nourish this dead branch? Although I am indeed good at controlling water, I still need a container, right?
Wait! Container?
Previously, when he used magic to heal Liu Xia, he used the power of the Water Spirit Pearl. At that time, the water film did not wet Liu Xia's clothes at all, and after the treatment, the water film did not stay on the ground, but returned to the Water Spirit Pearl.
Lingxiang reached her hand into the pool again and tried to scoop it up, but there was still nothing in her hand. She stared at her empty palm thoughtfully, then suddenly her eyes widened, as if she had thought of something.
Could that be the case?
Just as Lingxiang was thinking about how to enter the water mirror, Long Qi and his companions had already exchanged several moves with Bai Wuchang. But no matter what, Bai Wuchang remained as still as a mountain and could easily beat them back with just a wave of his hand, as if he was teasing them.
However, as Lingxiang had said, Bai Wuchang seemed to be very wary of Zhao Wuyang's sword. Whenever Long Qi, Xinyi, and Liu Xia approached with their swords, he would block them with his hands. However, when it came to Zhao Wuyang's sword, he would always block it with his fan. Although he looked relaxed, it was clear that he was taking Zhao Wuyang's skills into consideration.
Long Qi, Xin Yi, and Liu Xia exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's thoughts. Xin Yi flicked her fingers, and sand and rocks flew everywhere again.
Seeing Xinyi repeating her old trick, Bai Wuchang sneered and waved his folding fan, ready to dispel the magic. But just then, two figures rushed out of the dust. Long Qi and Liu Xia, one slashing with a sword, the other stabbing with a sword, both approaching Bai Wuchang's face.
In a flash, Bai Wuchang waved his folding fan and blocked the fierce attacks of the two men.
"Hmph! I did put some thought into it, but unfortunately, it's still too weak!"
Just as Bai Wuchang was sneering and mocking a few people, Long Qi shouted, "All right!" and saw a green light flying out of the dust.
Bai Wuchang was about to use his fan to resist, but for some reason, he was unable to move. He looked down and saw that his hand holding the fan was tightly entangled by willow branches, and the beginning of the willow branches was actually the sword in Liu Xia's hand.
This is the Transformation Sword, the weapon Liu Xia chose in Xuancang Cave!
Bai Wuchang didn't expect that these young boys would actually hold back, but Zhao Wuyang's sword was already in front of them!
Bai Wuchang frowned, then raised one hand and knocked both Long Qi and Liu Xia away, while the other hand tightly grasped Zhao Wuyang's sword.
Long Qi and Liu Xia spun around, steadied their bodies and landed on the ground. The magic dissipated, and the dust settled. Everyone then saw that Bai Wuchang's hand, which was holding Zhao Wuyang's sword, was emitting black mist and making a hissing sound, and his hand had turned into a sharp claw!
While the others were battling Bai Wuchang, Banxia wasn't idle either. Lingxiang was still crouching by the strange pond, pondering something. He knew she was trying to solve the mystery of the water mirror to help them escape.
She knew Lingxiang's way of doing things very well, and she would never be as cautious as she appeared.
Since everyone is working hard, I must do something too!
Banxia glanced at Madam Lu at Bai Wuchang's feet, her eyes flashing as she immediately came up with an idea. She pulled out a soul-hiding talisman from her bosom and affixed it to her body. While Xinyi was casting her spell, she quietly slipped past.
But strangely, the Bagua plate on her waist kept flickering for some reason. Banxia lifted the plate and took a look, her face suddenly filled with shock—the plate showed an ominous hexagram!
Looking at Madam Lu who was right in front of her, Banxia hesitated, not knowing whether she should step forward to rescue her. But in an instant, she remembered what Lingxiang said -
"I have always believed that one should do one's best and leave the rest to fate. If one is hesitant to act because of such fleeting matters before doing all one can do, then one will ultimately achieve nothing."
Forget it, it’s already here, I can’t care about so much!
…
Bai Wuchang exerted force with his claws and crushed Zhao Wuyang's soft sword into pieces!
"Hmph! Even though it's the Demon-Slaying Qinghui, my cultivation is not high after all. I can only reach this level." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his claws to grab Zhao Wuyang.
But his claws reached out, but he caught nothing. Xinyi, hiding in the shadows, had wanted to seize the opportunity to rescue his mother, but after seeing what Banxia had done, he remained motionless, ready to kill Bai Wuchang. But the moment Bai Wuchang raised his claws, he rushed forward, picked up Zhao Wuyang, and dodged the attack.
When Bai Wuchang saw Xinyi saving Zhao Wuyang, he sneered and wanted to use his feet to threaten Madam Lu, but he found that there was nothing under his feet. There was no Madam Lu.
Looking up, I saw Banxia untying the rope for Mrs. Lu behind Liu Xia.
Seeing this, Bai Wuchang immediately became angry. Demonic energy burst out from his body, his white clothes were torn, and his body shape began to change!
"Oh no! It's a demon!" Xinyi was shocked.
At this moment, Lingxiang shouted loudly: "Come here quickly!"
