Chapter 5: Dangerous situation arises when people in black block the road
"Hey! Come out! Stop sneaking around!"
This tail has been following Lingxiang for a long time. I felt it during the days in Tai Shang Sect. I didn't expect it to follow me down the mountain.
If it weren't for him, Lingxiang really wanted to stay in Tai Shang Sect for a few more days to eat and drink.
"How long are you going to stay with me? If you have something to say, come out and explain it clearly. Why are you hiding?"
After a pause, seeing no response, he picked up a stone and threw it into the bushes behind him.
With a cry of "Ouch!", a young man in green cloth jumped out from the bushes, holding his head and said to Lingxiang, "How can you be so fierce, woman! This is my head! Will you pay for it if I break it?"
The young man had casual braids and flamboyant bangs, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes with a hint of anger, a high nose and a beautiful mouth, and red lips and white teeth.
He has a good appearance, and he is really good-looking.
"You've been sneaking around without telling me for a long time, and I've asked you to come out again and again but you didn't respond. Instead, you blame me. How can this be justified?" This sentence left the young man speechless.
"Tell me, what do you want to do sneakily?!"
"I'm a seven-foot-tall man. If you tell me to say something, I'll just say it. Isn't that embarrassing?!"
"So you can save face by sneaking behind others?"
"You!" The young man was choked with anger.
Lingxiang raised her eyebrows, turned around and walked away on her own. The young man stomped his feet and hurriedly followed her.
Lingxiang didn't say anything and just let him follow. After a while, the boy couldn't bear it anymore.
"Hey! Why don't you ask me?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Ask me why I follow you."
"The road leads to heaven. Even though you and I are walking on the same road, how can I know that you are following me?"
"You!..." The boy was angry again.
What is this woman thinking? What if the person she is following is a bad guy? I really don’t understand why she is so careless!
"Where did you get that life-extending pill?"
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone about something? How can young people these days be so rude?"
"You!" The young man was even more angry. "I'm already seventeen years old, and you, a little girl, who are you calling the younger generation?"
He is so much shorter than me, but he calls me a young man. What a fool!
"I see that you just know some martial arts and know about the life-extending elixir, so it's obvious that you have the intention of practicing. At the very least, I'm at the Foundation Establishment Fusion Stage. Compared with you, am I not a senior? Speaking of the Dao, what's wrong with calling you a youngster?" Lingxiang stopped and looked at the young man with raised eyebrows.
This woman is really sharp-tongued and has all the advantages of speaking. Forget it, a good man does not fight with an evil woman.
"My name is Long Qi, what's your name?"
"Spiritual incense."
Humph, no wonder the teeth are so sharp, it turns out to be a pointed leaf.
"Then where did you get the life-extending pill?" Long Qi asked again.
"I made it myself." Lingxiang said lightly, as if this was a very common thing.
"How is this possible! You are just at the foundation-building stage, how can you refine such a pill! There are limits to jokes!" Long Qi said in disbelief.
"There are countless great ways, all of which are extraordinary. Why can't I cultivate it? If it's hard to come by, would I just use it to save someone I've never met?"
When Long Qi heard this, it seemed to make sense.
In fact, it was not so easy to obtain this life-extending pill. Lingxiang had to refine it for several batches and it took nearly two years to get two top-quality pills.
No, it’s true. Until now, I have been led by this woman.
Just as Long Qi was about to speak again, Ling Xiang suddenly stopped him.
They saw a man in black clothes and a mask in front of them, holding two swords and looking at them with murderous eyes.
"If you want to live, hand over the pills on you!" the man in black threatened.
"You villain, you robbed a little girl, don't you have any chivalrous heart?"
Lingxiang didn't expect Long Qi to ask to help him.
"What you said is really ridiculous. If he had a chivalrous heart, why would he rob me?" Lingxiang smiled and said to the visitor, "Are you implying that I can save my life by giving you the elixir? But I am also a businessman, and I will never do business at a disadvantage."
The man in black didn't waste any words. He gathered his strength and slashed at the two of them. Lingxiang dodged sideways and turned around to see Long Qi fighting with him.
He wielded both swords with clean and neat movements, without any hesitation, and was determined to take people's lives directly.
Long Qi was also agile and nimble, constantly dodging the attacks of the man in black. Unfortunately, he was unarmed and unable to fight back, and soon his clothes were cut several times.
This fight was magnificent and exciting.
"You woman! I helped you out of kindness, but you just sat there and watched as you suffered this unexpected disaster!" Long Qi barely dodged the knife and yelled at Lingxiang.
"Ah~! I am so grateful. Thank you so much, hero!" Lingxiang answered leisurely while sitting on a stone.
"It's not that I won't fight with you, but although I have some skills, my fighting ability is low. In theory, I might not be as good as you. If I rush forward rashly, won't I hold you back?"
After hearing this, Long Qi was speechless.
"Besides, there is no difference between those below the Golden Core level. You, the hero, can fight him again."
"Bullshit! My hands are empty!" Long Qi barely dodged another attack.
This is not entirely false. In terms of martial arts alone, those below the Golden Core stage are indeed on par with each other, but when it comes to internal strength and Taoism, the difference is actually obvious.
The man in black took a deep breath and muttered some incantation. In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere, dazzling the eyes. His movements were more than twice as fast as before, and he kicked Long Qi in the ribs in an instant.
When Long Qi was hit, he felt severe pain in his internal organs and flew far away.
When the man in black saw that he was subdued, he made a hand gesture and attacked Lingxiang directly.
"It's actually the Jindan realm!"
Lingxiang used the Calm and Peaceful Technique to resist, but the two spells collided, causing pain in her chest.
After a short standoff, Lingxiang was obviously defeated, and cracks appeared on Bolan Jue's shield!
Seeing this, the man in black raised the knife in his right hand. The blade was shining with green light and chopped along the crack of the shield.
Suddenly, a stream of air hit Lingxiang and knocked her far away.
After she steadied herself, she was suddenly unable to support herself and spat out a mouthful of blood. She half-knelt on the ground with her hands on the ground.
The man in black didn't give her a chance to breathe. He raised his knife and moved forward to chop her down.
Long Qi wanted to step forward to stop it, but he was injured internally and could not move. He saw that the knife was about to hit Lingxiang!
In a split second, there was a "clang" sound, and the man in black felt a numbness in his palm, and the knife was bounced away!
"Where did this thief come from to be so cruel!"
As he was speaking, a Taoist in a yellow robe came down. It was Chi Yanzi!
"Senior, be careful, that person is already in the Jindan stage." Lingxiang reminded.
"Don't panic, my friend. Just take a breath and let me fight with him!" As he said this, he recited the secret technique, swept the whisk, and flew into the air to kill the man in black.
The man in black mobilized his true energy and hurriedly raised his two swords to block.
The two men were in a stalemate for a moment, and then Chi Yanzi twisted his left hand and attacked the opponent's face with a move called Drunken Branches.
The man in black had been able to hold out before, but if he didn't dodge now, he would be seriously injured.
When the true energy fell, he quickly withdrew his strength and dodged to the side. Without waiting for Chi Yanzi to attack again, he used a flying goose move and escaped to an unknown place.
"Hmph! You cunning rat!" Chi Yanzi spat on the ground.
