Chapter 221: Adversity, Hardship and Poverty Come One After Another
The flames of the sword formation began to dim, but Lingxiang continued to sit in meditation, as if she didn't care at all.
It wasn't that she truly didn't care, but she was thinking of a countermeasure. Having just used the Lotus Heart Sword Formation, her spiritual energy was already depleted. If she forced it again, she wouldn't be able to hold out for long. Furthermore, she had to find an opportunity to expose Hui Wu's weakness.
Just as Lingxiang was pondering what to do, the flames of the Dragon Abyss Sword Formation suddenly vanished, as if its spiritual power had been exhausted. A roar was heard, and Lingxiang suddenly opened her eyes.
There was no room for thinking now. Lingxiang clasped her hands together and wanted to cast a formation, but the monsters swarmed over at an extremely fast speed and were about to reach her.
At this moment, there was a buzzing sound that suddenly resounded. The monsters all knelt on the ground, covering their ears, looking extremely painful.
It was at this moment that the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, which was originally inserted into the ground, suddenly rose into the air. Then a sword light appeared among the monsters, as fast as a meteor and like a silver snake.
It's flying sword!
Wherever Long Yuan went, there were howlings. Through the broken pieces, one could see Long Qi standing with his left hand behind his back, twirling his fingers with his right hand, his robe fluttering, looking like an immortal.
Seeing this, Hui Wu's face immediately turned ferocious. He exerted force on his hands, and the compass seemed to sense his anger. It was originally glowing with a dim light, but suddenly it became brighter, and there were more monsters.
"But how long can a mortal body last?"
At this moment, there was a gust of flying sand and rocks, and a knife was instantly placed on Hui Wu's neck. The pattern on the compass in his hand was also cut open by the knife.
The one holding the knife was none other than Xinyi who had escaped earlier using magic.
"You finally showed up. If it had been any later, I would have thought you had run away." Lingxiang stood up, brushed her clothes and smiled.
Xinyi had been waiting in the dark for his chance. As soon as the sword formation vanished, he wanted to show up and rescue Lingxiang. But just as he was about to move, he saw Long Qi standing up, so he didn't move. If he had exposed himself, he wouldn't have had the chance to destroy the compass.
However, he also knew that Lingxiang was joking, so he just smiled and shook his head, but did not say anything.
The formation was broken, and no more monsters appeared. Under Long Qi's sword moves, the surrounding monsters were slaughtered in a short time. After sheathing the Longyuan Sword, he quickly put away his skills and ran to Lingxiang, asking if she was injured. He checked her thoroughly and only felt relieved after confirming her condition.
Lingxiang had never expected that Long Qi's exploration of the innate Qi had actually raised his cultivation to this level. When she reached out to check, she found that Long Qi had reached the foundation-building fusion stage just like herself.
If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be outdone by him in the future! Forget it, since he saved me, I'll let it go for now.
However, Long Qi seemed unaware of this, or perhaps due to his changed state of mind, he seemed much calmer. He nodded to Xin Yi, who immediately understood and pushed Hui Wu closer to the two of them.
But Long Qi was still a little worried, so he stretched out his hand to protect Lingxiang behind him, but the latter did not seem to appreciate it and slapped his arm.
"I am an elder of a sect after all. Hiding behind a disciple like this is totally disrespectful. I'm fine, there's no need to be so nervous. But you, have you noticed anything different?"
Long Qi rubbed his arms with an embarrassed look on his face, but he carefully examined himself for a moment: "I don't feel any difference, it's just..."
"Is that so?" Lingxiang was very curious and blinked as she stared at Long Qi.
At this time, Long Qi touched his face and said, "I just feel pain on my face, and I don't know why."
Just now, he was in a hurry to save people and didn't notice it, but now Long Qi feels that his face seems to be a little swollen and hot. Could it be that Qi can make the face swell up?
Adao's ears suddenly moved, and he quickly turned his back, pretending to wonder when Zhao Wuyang would wake up.
At this time, Hui Wu snorted coldly, "You claim to be a reputable and upright sect, yet you resort to such lowly methods. How shameless!"
Upon hearing this, Long Qi was so angry that he wanted to go up and teach Hui Wu a few punches, but was stopped by Lingxiang.
Lingxiang said sarcastically, "Oh, I don't understand. The ancients said, 'Give someone a taste of their own medicine.' To me, that means 'use the same method as you would use against someone.' So what? You're allowed to become Bai Wuchang's lackey, but we can't use these invisible methods? Besides, deception is acceptable in war, let alone against a creature like you who is neither human nor demonic?"
After this conversation, Hui Wu's face turned red and white with anger, while Ling Xiang looked at Hui Wu with a smug look on her face.
What? I'm just a good talker, I can make people angry to death without having to pay for it, what can you do to me?
If Xinyi didn't know that Lingxiang said this to protect him, judging by her tone and expression, he would have found it quite irritating. But fortunately, she was one of his own, so he actually found it somewhat amusing to hear her.
As soon as Lingxiang let out a "Yo," Long Qi shuddered. He was all too familiar with this tone. When they first met, he had witnessed Lingxiang's sharp tongue. Whenever she spoke like that, she would inevitably unleash a stream of rhetoric, comparing astronomy to dirt and geography to retribution. He wondered who had taught her this eloquence.
But what Long Qi didn't know was that before he met Lingxiang, the headmaster and several elders of Yuanqing Sect had already understood this deeply, especially Elder Zhaoming.
Just as the three of them were thinking about their own things, a burst of laughter was heard from the forest, but the laughter sounded a bit eerie.
"What a sharp-tongued wild girl! I'll kill you today. I want to see if Dong Taishan, who is above the Ten Palaces, will be able to patiently listen to your eloquent words."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black mist rolled in, which was exactly the same as the one Xinyi had just used.
"Oh no! It's Yinghuan!"
Xinyi screamed, and Huiwu took the opportunity to push Xinyi away and slap her back, then turned around and broke free from Xinyi's restraints.
Hui Wu retreated a few feet away, and at this moment, the black mist fell beside him, it was Yinghuan.
"Little girl, you schemed against me before, now I'm going to make you suffer!"
Long Qi and Xin Yi held their swords tightly, looking stern as they stared at Yinghuan and Huiwu, while Lingxiang looked relaxed.
"Oh~ Madam, did you think Bamboo Leaf Green tea was delicious and come to ask for it again? Blame me, blame me. I brewed the tea too weak, otherwise Madam wouldn't be so concerned about it, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yinghuan was immediately furious and raised her eyebrows, reaching out to pounce on Lingxiang.
Seeing this, Long Qi hurriedly pulled out Long Yuan, but at this moment, the earth suddenly shook, and along with the spinning of the sky and the earth, roars came from behind him, like thunder, piercing his ears!
