boom!
Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shake, as if the sky were falling and the earth were cracking.
Centered on the landing of Qiqi's fist, terrifying spiderwebs cracked all around, demonstrating the immense power of the little girl, which was truly chilling.
Tiger Eagle swallowed hard, its rear end unconsciously shifting closer to Bai Xuan, trembling as it leaned against him.
"Holy crap, this little brat is too violent." If that fist landed on him, even a tiger's courage would be shattered.
Bai Xuan pushed him away with a hint of disgust, "So if you're okay, don't show off in front of her, or you'll lose your life."
Tiger Eagle: ...
That makes a lot of sense. He will never mess with that little devil again!
With a powerful punch, Qiqi knocked back the overflowing demonic energy. Then, she took out several talismans from her bag and threw them out like hidden weapons, quickly sticking them to several locations in the Three Talents Formation.
She then quickly formed hand seals, the complex mudras appearing to her like waving flowers, both beautiful and incredibly powerful.
"Seal!" With the last hand seal completed, Qiqi supported the sky with one hand, then flipped her wrist and slapped down with her palm.
A huge golden swastika-shaped magic seal descended from the sky, overlapping the Three Talents Formation.
"No!"
The Demon Lord unleashed a deafening roar before being completely sealed back into the Land of Nothingness by the magic array.
Qiqi, who had just been full of vigor, swayed and fell headfirst to the ground.
"Eh..."
The magic seal descended, creating a huge gale that sent Bai Xuan and the others staggering about.
After finally managing to stand up, they saw Qiqi close her eyes, faint, and fall down. They quickly rushed forward with Hu Ying and caught the little girl firmly in their arms.
Looking at her pale, bloodless face, her breathing was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.
Tiger Eagle was so anxious that he reached out to touch the small bag on her back, wanting to get some medicine for her.
When he reached in, he found nothing.
Tiger Eagle was taken aback.
Seeing him spacing out at a time like this, Bai Xuan angrily bumped his shoulder, "What are you doing? Hurry up and get the medicine out!"
"No, no," Tiger Eagle said blankly.
Bai Xuan frowned. No?
How could there not be?
He disbelievingly shoved the tiger eagle aside and reached out to touch it himself.
The small bag turned out to be completely empty.
The little girl clearly took it out of her bag.
Does that mean, "You've finished eating?"
She ate a handful at once, and then shared a handful with him and Tiger Eagle.
Even if an alchemist can refine pills at will, they still can't withstand such abuse.
This is indeed the most reasonable explanation.
Tiger Eagle frowned. "Then what should we do?"
Bai Xuan: "Did you finish the pills that Qiqi gave you earlier?"
"I'm done eating!" Tiger Eagle said matter-of-factly. "What about you?"
Bai Xuan touched his nose. "I've finished eating too."
They glanced at each other, then looked away guiltily.
They never expected that the little girl would almost finish consuming this layer of pills.
“Then…” Tiger Eagle began breathlessly.
Bai Xuan placed his fingers on Qi Qi's wrist pulse. "It's alright, her pulse is still relatively stable. She probably just fainted from overexertion. She'll be fine after a rest."
Tiger Eagle was relieved, nodded, and plopped down next to him.
Not to mention Qiqi, he himself was also exhausted and could barely stand.
This day was so exciting!
Cheng Yuan and the others came to check on her, and Bai Xuan said that Qi Qi was fine.
Cheng Yuan's team didn't have any alchemists, and they had used up all the pills they carried while fighting the demons. Even if they wanted to help, they were powerless to do so.
"We must return to our sect to report the events in the secret realm to our master and elders. Brother Bai, Brother Hu, we'll take our leave now. Please be sure to convey our gratitude to Little Fellow Daoist Qiqi when she awakens." Cheng Yuan, clasped his sword, bowed to Bai Xuan and Hu Ying and took his leave.
Bai Xuan nodded without saying anything.
A young woman behind Cheng Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied with his cold attitude.
Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Yuan stopped him with a look.
"Let's go." He turned and left first.
Behind them, the surviving disciples of various sects also bowed to Bai Xuan and the others before hurriedly following.
Only the girl Qiqi saved walked at the very end.
She looked at the unconscious Qiqi, hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and then took out a talisman and handed it to Bai Xuan.
"This is a communication talisman. If you encounter any problems, please be sure to send me a message. I will also rush back to my sect as soon as possible to ask the sect leader for some spiritual medicine to save her."
Of all these people, she was the only one who still remembered Qiqi's life-saving grace and thought of asking for the medicine to give to Qiqi.
So Bai Xuan glanced at her and said softly, "Thank you!"
"I should thank you!" The girl bowed solemnly to them, then turned and left.
Everyone left at once.
Tiger Eagle looked at the suddenly empty dense forest and the corpses of demonized humans scattered on the ground, and shrugged his shoulders. "Let's take the little girl back to my old cave first. At least there we can shelter her from the wind and rain and find a place to live."
Bai Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
After saying that, she carefully held Qiqi in her arms, and with her aloof and cold demeanor, she raised her chin at Hu Ying, gesturing for him to lead the way.
Tiger Eagle: ...
Where did this arrogant brat come from!
But resigned to his fate, he turned around and led the way.
Soon, they arrived at the cave.
Tiger Eagle, oblivious to everything, walked straight in.
Bai Xuan suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Tiger Eagle turned around.
Inside the cave, a dark figure suddenly pounced out, wielding a gleaming sword and slashing it toward the tiger eagle's head.
Noticing the sound of a sharp weapon slicing through the air, Tiger Eagle nimbly dodged with a somersault and looked up to retaliate, but stopped when he saw who it was.
"Hey, what are you doing here..."
Just as he was about to go to greet the other party, Huo Yuwei, looking anxious, pushed him aside, strode up to Bai Xuan, and reached out to take the unconscious Qi Qi from his arms.
"Qiqi..."
Bai Xuan took a step back while holding the little girl, looking at him warily.
"This is the little girl's older brother," Tiger Eagle explained as he caught up.
Huo Yuwei's icy gaze fell on the two of them, and he gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly in his hand. "What's wrong with Qiqi? Why did she faint?"
He clearly remembered that he and Qiqi had been preparing to leave this place.
Then he ate some bright red fruit he picked along the way, and then he remembered nothing more.
When she woke up again, she found herself lying under a tree, but Qiqi and Huying were nowhere to be seen.
He wanted to find Qiqi, but encountered a bunch of strange things along the way.
There are man-eating flowers with gaping maws and teeth as sharp as meat grinders.
There are also willow trees with branches thicker than an arm that attack anyone they see.
There were also some shapes that resembled people, but... they couldn't be called people, and he didn't know what they were.
Fortunately, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand was naturally effective against demons, which allowed him to find this place safely.
I was thinking of resting for a while before going to find Qiqi, but then I noticed someone coming over.
He thought it was one of those terrible things again, which is why he hid and launched a sneak attack.
Unexpectedly, it was a tiger eagle.
There was also a man he had never met before.
