"pray......"
"Um?"
What is your purpose in coming here?
"Purpose......"
Qi's gaze remained unchanged, still fixed on Luo Chen: "Isn't it obvious?"
"......."
"I miss my master. I want to find him and stay with him."
Qi's words didn't sound fake; her deep affection was palpable to anyone, but...
"Qi, I'm curious to know. You said you have a high level of life, but you were indeed shattered back then. As far as I know, I'm not sure if you could recover on your own. Were there any other people around you?"
Upon hearing Ya's words, Qi paused for a moment, then stood up, her cute doll-like face devoid of any expression.
"Ya, you have too many questions."
Qi turned around and picked up the sword that was placed on the edge of the bed.
[Oh no, this guy's not as simple as he seems here. Ya, quickly let me out to help you.]
Jin's words clearly showed her concern, but Ya wouldn't let Jin out. How could Ya not know what Jin was thinking?
Regardless of whether Qi had ill intentions or not, it was impossible for Jin to take this opportunity to get out.
Seeing that Ya wasn't fooled, Jin snorted coldly and continued to observe.
"Qi, I don't have many questions. After all, we haven't seen each other for so long, and things are bound to be different now. Besides, you were originally a sword, and now that you're an adult, you're even more unfamiliar with things..."
"Yes, you're right."
Qi nodded in agreement, quite certain of what Ya had said.
So, Qi raised his sword and aimed it at Ya.
“I’ve heard a lot of bad news, and regardless of whether you’re doing this for your master’s sake, now… your master is mine.”
Qi's words were quite profound, and Ya understood the gist of them. She wanted to explain to Qi, but Qi seemed unwilling to listen and even wanted to take action.
"Qi, no matter what you hear or what I do, I will not agree to you taking Luo Chen away."
"I knew you'd say that, so I'm not going to hold back. Take this!"
A flash of cold light appeared first, and then the sword tip was right in front of them, the speed was astonishing.
The room is too small, especially since Luo Chen is lying here. If we don't control him and he gets injured, that would be terrible.
Instead of fighting back, Ya flew away.
Qi paused for a moment, then followed closely behind.
The mountains and fields were desolate and deserted.
The quiet environment was accompanied only by the fear of the unknown darkness.
Landing on a mountaintop, Ya coldly stared at Qi, who was suspended in mid-air.
The sacred aura vanished from her, replaced by a long-lost bloodlust and brutality, as if countless vengeful spirits were howling in agony behind her prayer.
Ya changed back into a white palace dress, and a sword appeared in her hand.
The sword's blade was crystal clear, and a chilling light emanated from it.
During the several worlds she spent searching for Luo Chen, her strength also grew rapidly. She was no longer the same person she used to be, and she was confident of winning against Qi.
"Wow, you've gotten stronger. The girl who used to hide behind the scenes and couldn't do anything is now a strong person."
Qi nodded, sensing Ya's rising momentum.
The girl who was weak and afraid back then can now finally stand on her own. Qi will not hesitate to praise her.
Unfortunately, Qi didn't like Ya's approach.
Her master was a great man of great stature and unparalleled achievements, how could he live such a pathetic life?
Qi was very angry.
Seeing Ya rush forward, Qi didn't hold back and retaliated with a sword strike.
Bang!
The collision caused the earth to tremble and mountains to shake. In the pitch-black night, a boundary line appeared, flashing with white light.
The two exchanged a single move and immediately understood each other's true abilities.
Very competitive.
Moreover, they seem to be evenly matched in strength.
Everyone keeps their strength within the rules, so the difference between them won't be too great.
The collision between the two elements sheared off most of the surrounding mountains, causing the mountains to disappear completely, and even creating deep craters in some areas.
"They really shouldn't be underestimated..."
Qi Fei flew in the air, his aura gathering, and the sword in his hand exuded a chilling aura.
"the same as you."
Ya stood at the other end, her crystal-clear longsword radiating an astonishing chill. They fought for most of the day, but neither of them had gained the upper hand.
"If this fight continues, neither of us will be able to defeat the other. You should leave. If you want to see Luo Chen, I can agree to that, but I will not hand Luo Chen over to you."
"That's true."
Qi also felt that this was not a solution: "However, I do not agree with your suggestion. I do not need your permission to see the master. Of course, I am also tired of this. Let's finish this quickly!"
The words were spoken.
Qi's aura grew even stronger, causing cracks to appear in the surrounding space as a terrifying killing intent swept over.
Ya Dai frowned. Qi was about to unleash his power under the suppression of the rules. If this continued, it was uncertain whether this world could even exist.
But there was no time to think, and the two started fighting again.
The surrounding environment has been even more severely damaged; half of the original mountain has disappeared, and yellow sand is everywhere.
That's terrifying.
Under restraint, the surrounding area for miles is covered in yellow sand, as if one has entered a harsh environment, giving a sense of suffocation.
"Qi, are you still going to be so stubborn?"
"You're the stubborn one!"
"If you continue to cause destruction like this, the world won't be able to withstand it!"
"So what!"
Qi doesn't care at all about how the world will change. The only thing she cares about is her master. If her master is well, she is well. If her master is not well, then let them all disappear!
A group of people living in the world of books are ultimately just an illusion.
Why bother!
"When you do this, do you even consider your master's feelings?"
As Ya fought, she said, "Don't forget, he has no strength right now, he's just an ordinary person. If this world collapses, he won't be able to survive. Don't you care about his life?"
"Besides, there are people he cares about here. If they are hurt because of this, and your master finds out, how would he feel? Haven't you thought about that?"
"......"
Ya's words caused Qi's offensive to slow down temporarily, and finally come to a halt.
Standing in mid-air, sword tip pointing downwards, Qi's cute and pretty face remained expressionless.
She remained silent, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Qi, stop. Continuing this fight won't be good for anyone. I know your master is the person you care about most, but this situation is undoubtedly a disaster..."
"Shut up!"
Qi suddenly roared in anger and stopped her, her cute and pretty face contorted with rage. She stared coldly at Ya and gritted her teeth, saying, "If you hadn't always been like this, would my master be an ordinary person?"
"If you hadn't interfered so much, would he be like this now?"
"It's all because of you!"
"It's you! It's you!"
"He should have stood at the very pinnacle, seated on the throne, overlooking all living beings, above all under heaven, with everything in the world belonging to my master..."
"But what did you do? You restricted my master's life, even interfered with it, and almost got killed by the rules. Do you really think you're right?"
Qi already knows about the world in the book "The Return of the Dragon King". Since there is an arrangement to let her master follow the development, this matter can be left as is. It can be considered as making up for the regrets her master did not have and adding a new story.
But what was Ya doing? While instructing her master to do that, she was also secretly causing trouble. She seemed to be helping her master, but in reality, she was not helping at all. In fact, Ya herself was the one who caused the death of the chosen one.
It destroyed everything.
They act within the rules, yet do things outside of them.
This has happened more than once.
How could Qi not be angry? How could he possibly give Ya a kind look?
"Ya, enough nonsense. I don't care what you do or what your purpose is, whether you're truly doing what's best for your master or just thinking about yourself. Today, my decision will not change."
Ya was speechless after Qi's words.
She didn't know how to answer.
My feelings became complicated.
Everything she did seemed to be for Luo Chen's good, but in the end, it was also harming him.
The two clashed again.
This time, however, Qi's strength is even greater.
He seems to have lost his restraint.
The power unleashed has transcended.
Outside the rules.
They've been fighting all night.
Dawn had already broken and the sky was clear, but at this moment...
Because of Qi's extraordinary strength, the clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled.
"Qi, I know you won't listen to anything I say now, and I don't want to explain anything, but your current strength has attracted the attention of the rules. Since you know what I did before, you should also understand that in the world of the book, the rules are inviolable."
Ya looked at the dark clouds above her head. The gray clouds gradually turned pitch black, and thunder rumbled through the clouds. At this moment, lightning also appeared.
Bolts of lightning, thicker than buckets, flashed like thunder dragons, appearing intermittently in the clouds.
That wasn't all. An inexplicable pressure appeared above the two of them, and a terrifying aura had locked onto Qi. It seemed that if Qi continued to be stubborn, punishment would befall her.
"......"
Qi did not lose her composure. She looked up at the sky, where the dark clouds were pitch black, like an inverted abyss, bottomless. The flashing lightning transformed into thunder dragons, which roared deafeningly as they hovered above. Their huge eyes, formed from lightning, were fixed on her.
"What a hassle..."
Qi's momentum weakened, as if she had given in, as if she had to deflate the rules and dare not directly confront them, no matter how strong she was.
Seeing that Qi's momentum had weakened, the dark clouds and thunder dragons above also gradually lost their strength.
But in the next moment, Ya spoke again, and the rules were about to be withdrawn.
Qi suddenly swung the sword he was holding upwards.
A flash of sword light slashed towards the dark clouds above.
There were no unnecessary frills, nor did it show any great strength. It was very ordinary and plain, with a weak sword aura, like that of someone who had just entered the realm of swordsmanship.
But it was just such an ordinary sword strike.
The dark clouds and thunder dragon overhead... were split in two.
Ya stared blankly at Qi's actions. She had thought that Qi was wary and had withdrawn his aura, since this was the rule and it would be troublesome to fight against it.
Unexpectedly, Qi not only did not stop, but instead launched a counterattack.
The dark clouds have disappeared, and the thunder dragon has dispersed.
The sky cleared up again, but Ya's mood sank.
