Second lightning strike
The arrow was intercepted, bounced into the grass, and disappeared.
What intercepted them was a sword, which plunged straight into the ground of the training ground, blocking the path between Han Jiang and Xiao Mo.
The blue figure soared and landed steadily below the gate of Hanshan Mountain.
The boots came into Hanjiang's view first, followed by the light blue travel clothes, and finally Hanqi's face.
"Senior Sister! Master!" Hanqi called out.
"Hanqi..." Han Jiang felt a sense of relief; the female lead had arrived, and the story was about to end.
She put down the cold rice cake from her shoulder: Master, please wait here for me.
"Stop her!" Xiao Mo said.
Han Jiang ran towards Han Qi. As long as he gave Han Qi the Sect Master's Token, he could reactivate the mountain-guarding formation. Xiao Mo's spiritual power was definitely no match for Han Qi's.
At Xiao Mo's command, the outer disciples simultaneously fired their arrows—
Han Jiang, limping, didn't care how ugly his escape was, and struggled to dodge the arrows shot from behind.
Hanqi's sword fell within the chaotic area and could not be recalled.
She charged into the crowd with her bare hands, but could only disrupt some of the archery.
All the arrows were aimed at Han Jiang. At the critical moment, the folding fan in Han Jiang's arms flew out by itself, the tail of the fan carrying golden light, forming a protective circle around her and shaking off all the approaching dangers!
The folding fan successfully escorted Hanjiang to the mountain gate and landed back in Hanjiang's hands.
Seeing that Han Jiang was safe, Han Qi prepared to retreat, trying to escape the encirclement of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion disciples, but was blocked by Xiao Mo.
"We absolutely cannot fail here..." Xiao Mo's expression turned ferocious and terrifying, and the spiritual power within his body was released uncontrollably.
Even outside of the chaotic formation, an excessively powerful surge of spiritual energy can still cause spiritual energy disorder in those around you.
As two extremes, the cold maple and the cold fall are unaffected, while the other is most severely affected.
Xiao Mo drew his sword and pointed it at Han Qi: "It seems that it would be better for Han Shan to be wiped out today."
Han Jiang's folding fan, which had been launched with all her might, was bounced back by Xiao Mo's power. Damn it, they didn't say the female lead would die here.
"This is how you use a folding fan, Han Xiaoman..."
Cang Jingqi's voice echoed in Han Jiang's mind, as if it were right next to him.
Han Jiang searched around for the source of the sound, but never saw Cang Jingqi. Then, the folding fan in his hand flew out again, as if guided by something. Countless folding fans flew in from all directions, far more spectacular than the sword formation.
The folding fan's attacks were completely unpredictable, almost always bouncing off the weapon upon contact. While it didn't injure anyone, it greatly disrupted the enemy's vision and threw the Vermilion Bird Pavilion into disarray.
Only a portion of the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion knew magic; the majority were ordinary people who did not know magic and had never seen such a large-scale event before.
For many years, humans and demons have coexisted, and there has never been a chance to see such a large-scale battle. When the three sects fought for the treasure, it was more of an individual duel, rather than the kind of area-of-effect damage that has been inflicted on a large scale like today.
The sword formation of the Four Continents Sect was easily blocked by Han Tian. Cang Jingqi, who was equally famous as Han Tian, also disrupted the entire Vermilion Bird Pavilion with countless folding fans.
The imperial court has never dared to confront the demon realm directly, not only because of the demon's barrier, but also because of the three powerful princes of the demon realm, each of whom is capable of shaking the Vermilion Bird Pavilion.
"Don't panic, everyone! Stay calm!" Xiao Mo shouted to those around him. He was reluctant to let Han Qi go, so he maintained his original stance of confronting Han Qi and had no choice but to take out the Sect Master's Token and point it at Han Qi.
Upon seeing the sect leader's order, Hanqi immediately pounced on it to snatch it.
Xiao Mo struggled to deal with Han Qi, relying on dodging and maneuvering to buy time and find an opportunity to manipulate him.
Han Jiang couldn't help and was anxious, but suddenly he had a feeling that someone was behind him.
Cang Jingqi lifted Han Jiang's hand from behind: "Han Xiaoman, I'm here."
Han Jiang suddenly felt like crying, but without turning around, she joked, "Did you come here just to show off?"
"I want to, but I don't look good right now..." she said weakly.
"Cang Jingqi, how are you..." Han Jiang immediately wanted to turn around to check on Cang Jingqi's condition, but Cang Jingqi pressed his head down, facing Xiao Mo in front of him.
As Han Jiang opened his hand, the folding fan responded and flew back to his hand.
"..." Cang Jingqi remained silent, but Han Jiang could sense his exhaustion. He grasped Han Jiang's hand, unfolded his folding fan, and launched it at Xiao Mo!
The black folding fan stirred up a gust of wind, but unlike before, it didn't have a golden trail. The fan spun and flew over the heavily guarded Vermilion Bird Pavilion, heading straight for Xiao Mo.
A sword flew out from the center of the formation, this time blocking the folding fan.
Hanqi took the sword and stood protectively in front of Xiao Mo.
The chaos on the training ground was brought under control, and Xiao Mo mobilized disciples from the Four Continents Sect to deal with the fan formation.
Han Tian's power was restored, but he was stopped by Han Qi before he could get close to Han Jiang.
"Hanqi has been manipulated by Xiao Mo," Hanjiang said to Cangjing. "Do you have a way to regain control?"
When the sword formation of the Four Continents Sect clashed with the fan formation, Cang Jingqi looked troubled and said, "I can only try." Having rushed over almost at the limit, Cang Jingqi didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
Han Tian couldn't be ruthless towards his disciple, while Han Qi was under control and was being relentlessly pressured.
The master and apprentice were evenly matched and neither could extricate themselves from the situation.
Cang Jingqi closed his folding fan, concentrated his mind, and manipulated his spiritual power!
The entire Four Provinces Sect froze instantly. Everyone calmed down, put down their weapons, and stopped moving.
You could see sweat beading on his forehead and his body trembling.
He cannot control others who also possess manipulative abilities, so Xiao Mo was not controlled.
Unable to gain control, Xiao Mo unleashed his spiritual power at Cang Jingqi.
"How can you possess both spiritual energy and demonic energy at the same time?" Cang Jingqi frowned.
Xiao Mo burst into laughter: "I have found the way for humans and demons to coexist, and have gained eternal life!"
The crowd stirred again, breaking free from Cang Jingqi's control.
Cang Jingqi fell forward, and Han Jiang barely managed to support him, the two of them kneeling on the ground.
"I can't control either of you, so you can only die!" Xiao Mo seized back control, including Han Tian, who was now under his control. In front of Han Jiang, he took out the Sect Master's Token, and the light of the mountain-guarding array lit up beneath his feet.
The mountain-guarding formation does not exclude disciples of the Four Continents Sect, but he intends to expel Cang Jingqi from the Four Continents Sect.
Han Jiang reopened the wound on his palm, and blood flowed into the sect leader's command, suppressing the mountain-guarding formation.
Cang Jing bit her lower lip hard, resisting Xiao Mo's disordered spiritual energy, and regained control of her spiritual energy.
He had been using his spiritual power to control the demon realm since the battle began at the Four Continents Sect, and then rushed back to the Four Continents Sect from the demon realm without rest for a day and a night. His eyes were already bloodshot and he was exhausted.
Han Jiang looked at Cang Jingqi with heartache. Perhaps sensing Han Jiang's gaze, Cang Jingqi said, "I already said it doesn't look good right now... It's okay, I can still handle it."
With his master and junior sister both under control, Cang Jingmo and Cang Jingye were dealing with the remaining disciples of the Four Continents Sect in the Demon Realm, while Guixu was on the verge of death.
The cold weather was brewing in my mind.
Why is she so weak?
"Xiaoman, you've done very well," Cang Jingqi said, seeing through Han Jiang's worries.
No, it's not good enough.
"Cang Jingqi, do you know how to destroy the sect leader's token?" Han Jiang asked.
"What do you want to do..." Cang Jingqi's breathing was unsteady.
"I won't die, Cang Jingqi." Han Jiang stared into Cang Jingqi's eyes. "Tell me, how can I destroy the Sect Master's Token?"
"You want to destroy the Sect Master's Token?" Xiao Mo overheard their conversation. "Let me tell you, do you dare? Destroying the Sect Master's Token will attract heavenly lightning, and you will surely die! Destroying it is easy. The Sect Master's Token is actually made of wood. I don't know if you remember the withered tree that the Four States Sect used to test spiritual power. It's that piece of wood. If it weren't for the spiritual power it contains, it would be no different from a piece of wood."
Wood? So that means it can be lit? Han Jiang still had some leftover fire talismans in his arms.
Xiao Mo intensified the release of his spiritual power.
Cang Jingqi spat out a mouthful of blood, but still struggled to persevere, his control over spiritual power nearing its limit.
Han Jiang had experienced spiritual energy disorder in Xuanzhou, and at that time, he suffered excruciating pain as his entire body was torn apart.
Now, while Cang Jingqi is suffering this pain, he must also remain conscious in order to ensure the control of his spiritual power.
"Cang Jingqi, you must be heartbroken that this folding fan is broken, so I'm returning it to you." Han Jiang stuffed the folding fan into Cang Jingqi's arms. "This short sword was given to me by you a long time ago, so it shouldn't be anything special. I'll take it with me."
She spoke calmly, slowly releasing Cang Jingqi to make sure he wouldn't fall to the ground. She then slowly stood up, gripped her short knife, and walked towards Xiao Mo.
Only Xiao Mo and Han Jiang were able to move freely on the field.
The wound on her calf had not healed, and it was still bleeding when she moved her leg.
"You're not expecting to kill me with this knife, are you? I know my magical attacks are ineffective against you, but I have a sword," Xiao Mo said disdainfully.
"How will you know if you don't try?" Han Jiang said.
Han Jiang bet that all of Xiao Mo's spells would be ineffective against her, so the two could only fight in close combat, with a long sword against a short knife.
When Wenxu was still alive, Hanjiang practiced with him a few times, but it really had no effect now.
I should have known better than to always slack off and lie around. At least I should know a few tricks so I could manage for a while.
Han Tian said that the heavenly lightning summoned by breaking the sect leader's order was different from the natural lightning, and he wondered if he could survive. Han Jiang was not entirely confident, but he maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
The system remained completely silent; opening the light screen only revealed a 15% favorability rating.
On the bright side, maybe dying in this world will allow you to return to your original world.
What were we told when we first arrived in this world? We were supposed to slack off, do nothing, and be honest bystanders. But in the end, I participated in every single main storyline.
The situation defied expectations; Han Jiang had anticipated this outcome.
She wasn't agile enough to dodge, and several swords landed on her, causing her wounds to bleed.
What happened to the promised epic battle between immortals and demons, a tragic love story between the male and female leads? Why is she being tortured all the time?!
Han Jiang fell to the ground, the short knife was deflected and slid several feet away.
Xiao Mo looked down at Han Jiang: "You're about to die, aren't you? Have you thought about what your last words will be?"
Han Jiang huddled up, secretly hiding the fire talisman in his sleeve while Xiao Mo was out of sight.
Xiao Mo kicked Han Jiang; this was the closest the two of them had ever been!
The incantation of the Cold Descendant ignited the sect leader's command.
Her sect leader's command lost its power, the mountain-guarding array lit up, and the weather changed drastically.
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and that was enough for Han Jiang to pounce on him and hug him tightly.
He had no time to struggle before the lightning struck.
In an instant, the lightning was blinding and the earth shook.
After the loud noise subsided, all that remained was silence.
As the light of the mountain-guarding formation dimmed, two figures fell in the light.
Cang Jingqi's chaotic spiritual energy disappeared. He withdrew his control over his spiritual energy and rushed towards Han Jiang like a madman: "Han Xiaoman!"
Before he could even see Han Jiang's face clearly, an even stronger spiritual energy spread out.
All the spiritual and demonic energy within Xiao Mo's body erupted, enveloping the entire Four Continents Sect.
Han Jiang lay on the ground, watching helplessly as Cang Jingqi collapsed and crawled toward her.
Whether they were disciples of the Four Continents Sect or the Vermilion Bird Pavilion, they were all caught in a spiritual energy disorder, and there was a chorus of wails.
Xiao Mo's body was right next to her, his eyes wide open in death.
She survived.
Every part of my body aches, and the burning sensation is even more intense at the wound site.
The pain was so intense that I was losing consciousness.
She even thought that it would be too embarrassing if she survived being struck by lightning but died from the pain.
Xiao Mo's spiritual power gathered within the Four Continents Sect and lingered for a long time.
Cang Jingqi didn't move; he must have fainted.
Han Jiang couldn't find Han Tian and Han Qi; they were probably lying on the ground among the crowd.
Until Hanjiang saw that familiar figure.
Finally...we're going to be saved.
