Chapter 381: Chasing to the middle of the mountain and encountering an unexpected disaster
Long Qi had already chased for three or four miles, but the man seemed to be teasing him. If the two were a little further apart, he would stand there and wait for him.
It seems that Lingxiang's style of doing things is somewhat similar, but Long Qi is very sure that the person in front is definitely not Lingxiang.
Although that person's figure is similar to Lingxiang's, Lingxiang's shoulders are thinner. Although this person is not strong, he is broader than Lingxiang.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for three years, Long Qi had been thinking about her day and night during these three years. Even a strand of Lingxiang's hair was deeply engraved in his heart. How could he mistakenly recognize someone else?
The mountain was covered with lush trees. Even though Long Qi dodged carefully, the branches still left several scratches on his face. Although it was painful, Long Qi didn't care at all. He just stared at the black shadow in front of him, afraid that he would lose it if he was distracted.
Although it is not Lingxiang, this person must be related to Lingxiang. If we catch this person, we can find out the whereabouts of Lingxiang.
Or rather, it's about finding the way to find the spiritual incense...
Three years ago, Lingxiang was taken to the Demon Realm, but the Demon Realm was located in the underworld and living people could not enter it at will; even if the gates of hell were wide open on the day of the Central Plains, entering the ghost realm would still depend on luck, not to mention that there would be wandering ghosts everywhere at that time, and one would be taken away if they were not careful.
Besides, even if he overcame all difficulties and entered the underworld, the underworld was so vast that where could he, a mortal, find the capital of the demons?
Since the man in front is related to Lingxiang, he should be able to lead the way, so the most important thing right now is to catch him!
Long Qi calmed down, held his breath, and intensified his footwork.
Ever since taking the Hanyu Pill, his internal Qi has been stagnant. Even ordinary Qinggong, let alone the Cloud Step, is extremely strenuous. Fortunately, there's a move in the "Dragon Chasing Sword Technique" called "Dragon Breeze." While it's a sword-moving footwork and not a Qinggong, its twists and turns, and the power generated by the kicks, can be used in pursuit.
By slightly modifying the Youlongshengfeng technique, I can deal with the current situation, but it is not a good idea to keep chasing like this. I have to find a way to make the person in front stop.
Long Qi was able to perform some magic now, but the distance was quite far and he was afraid that he could not reach the man. He also had no hidden weapons, which made him feel troubled for a moment.
It's also my fault! If I had been able to calm down and practice talisman techniques with Lingxiang, I wouldn't be in such a passive position now!
Long Qi regretted his decision, but it was of no use. He could only try his best to catch up with the man in black.
Fortunately, the man in black stopped not long after, but Long Qi did not rush to catch up with him. He just hid behind a tree and observed.
This place is located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by sparse trees, and is much more spacious than the road ahead. A little further away, you can see a temple. Seven or eight of the walls outside the temple have collapsed, and you can vaguely see weeds growing inside the temple, which looks very dilapidated.
Looking at the man in black again, there was only his back, standing motionless with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for something. Long Qi pondered for a moment, decided not to hide anymore, and walked towards the open space.
Although he didn't know what this person's purpose was, he had been waiting for him on the road just now, so it was obvious that he was coming for him. And he had been following him closely all the way, so it was impossible for him not to know that he was nearby. There was really no point in him hiding like this.
Even though Long Qi's footsteps were slow, the man did not look back. Long Qi's heart was inevitably beating fast, but he did not stop.
"Your Excellency must have deliberately lured me here. Why would you bother with so much trouble?"
Although Long Qi was concerned about Lingxiang, the best thing to do right now was to find out the purpose of the visitor.
The man seemed not to hear what Long Qi said. He just stood there without answering. Long Qi frowned: Is he deaf?
At this moment, the man suddenly turned around and slapped Long Qi with his palm. The wind from his palm was so strong that it was obvious that he was very powerful. Fortunately, Long Qi was prepared. Just as the man turned around, he took a step back and raised his hand to punch him.
When their fists and palms collided, air suddenly flew around them, carrying fallen leaves and gravel, and dust flew everywhere.
Long Qi used 70% of his strength in this punch, but he didn't expect that he was only on par with the man in black. His brows tightened and he became extremely alert.
Punches and palms met, as if competing for strength. Evenly matched, neither backed off. The dust had already settled, but neither showed any intention of retreating.
After a moment, the man in black started to make hand gestures with his left hand. The gestures were so complicated that Long Qi couldn't figure out what kind of magic it was.
Finger gestures and chanting incantations are originally methods of inducing magic, but those with advanced cultivation can abandon them. Although it will reduce the potential energy of the magic, it is also a convenient method. I heard that those who are more advanced can also speak out and the magic will flow, but now that the spiritual veins are declining, it cannot be said that they do not exist, but those powerful people rarely appear in the world, so it is difficult to see one.
Among the Yuanqing elders, four elders, Shangqing, Qianyuan, Chengxin and Donghui, can do so. Even the real person Zhaoming, even if he gives up chanting, still cannot do without finger gestures.
As far as Long Qi could remember, Lingxiang was the only person who could perform one-handed spells. Furthermore, Lingxiang's spells and talismans often differed from those described in the Langhuan Pavilion books. Lingxiang had said she was simply too lazy to raise her hand, but Long Qi felt that this was Lingxiang's own unique way of cultivation.
Performing hand seals with one hand is much more difficult than performing them with two hands; one must form the hand seals of both hands in order to perform the technique. Lingxiang was able to perform hand seals with one hand by eliminating some hand seals, simplifying the complex hand seals. Just like her sound transmission talisman, which appears slightly different from the one in "Talisman Theory," it's even more effective than in the book.
Since the person in front of him can also make hand seals with one hand, it is hard not to associate him with Lingxiang. After all, only Lingxiang would have the leisure to study those spells and find out which hand seals can be removed.
For the same magic hand seal, if one of the links is wrong, regardless of whether it is effective or not, it may be completely different from the original one.
"What is your relationship with Lingxiang?!"
Long Qi asked hurriedly, but at this moment, a huge force suddenly pressed down on him, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, causing severe pain in his limbs. But even so, Long Qi did not dare to withdraw his strength.
In a wrestling match between two opponents, if there is no good opportunity, the one who withdraws first is most likely to be injured. However, Long Qi is currently being suppressed by the black-clothed man's magic and cannot easily withdraw his strength.
Never mind! Let's try our best to save the situation!
Long Qi raised his hand with difficulty and tried hard to untie the cloth strip on his chest. At the moment the cloth strip fell off, he turned around suddenly, avoiding the palm power of the man in black, and then instantly caught the fallen Seven Star Dragon Abyss.
After several years of training with Wu Ji, Long Yuan had already memorized every move in the four sword manuals. However, due to the confinement of the jade pill in his body, he still found it a little difficult to use them.
But it is more than enough to deal with the current situation.
Long Qi somersaulted with the sword in his hand, then used the force of his body swing to swing the sword towards the man in black.
Long Yuan was wrapped in a sword wind, and was about to chop down on his face, but the man in black did not panic. He gathered his spirit into his fingers, used his fingers as swords, and easily blocked Long Yuan's sword force.
It is indeed the Lotus Heart Sword Intent!
Long Qixing's eyes widened:
"Who the hell are you?!"
