Chapter 117: Soul-stealing and turning against people
The moment he heard these words, the ice blade in Qi Qing's hand stabbed out like lightning.
"Yue Ji" reacted extremely quickly, slightly tilting his body to easily avoid the fatal blow, and grabbed his raised wrist with his backhand.
The young man in black raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little aggrieved: "Master, why did you suddenly turn against me?"
"You are not Yue Ji!" Qi Qing twisted his wrist and elbowed back: "Tell me! Who are you?"
"Why am I not Yue Ji?" The young man in black sneered, with a hint of teasing in his voice: "This face, this voice, and the aura around him... Qi Qing, Qi Qing, you can't even recognize your own disciple?"
breath?
Qi Qing's pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill instantly crept up his spine: "——Are you the Demon Lord?!"
Only the Demon Lord who has the same bloodline as Yue Ji can perfectly replicate Yue Ji's aura!
With cold sweat dripping down his back, Qi Qing secretly thought that his teammates were letting him down and that he was extremely unlucky.
How did the alliance deploy its defense? ? Our own people were still preparing for the meeting, and the enemy leader had already reached the doorstep!
Seeing that he had guessed my identity at once, the Demon Lord's eyes flashed with surprise, but his attack became more fierce: "You are quite smart, how about I give you an intact corpse as a reward?"
The ice swords collided, and spiritual power splashed. Even though Qi Qing had plenty of spiritual power, his palms were still numb from the shock during the confrontation.
During the close combat, Qi Qing could truly feel the terrifying strength of the Demon Lord. Even though this man did not use his demonic energy, he still broke the ice sword in a few rounds with just his physical strength, forcing him back into a dead end.
But Qi Qing knew that the Demon King would not dare to fight for long. Once the reinforcements arrived, no matter how strong the Demon King was, he would not be able to defeat four hands with two fists.
With his mind racing, Qi Qingxu made a move and retreated quickly, not intending to fight him to the end.
Your life is at stake, if the wind blows, run away!
Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord retracted his five fingers, and the young man felt as if his limbs were trapped in a spider web. His movements suddenly froze and he was covered by the Demon Lord's subsequent attack.
"The breath of the Mirage Clan..."
The Demon Lord dealt with him with ease. He gently twisted his fingertips and picked up a faint white silk from Qi Qing's sleeves. He flicked his fingers and said, "Haha, it really is effortless to get it! I knew these idiots couldn't run far!"
Qi Qing was startled. He didn't know what evil method the Demon Lord used to be able to capture the breath out of thin air.
Since I can't run away, I can only fight.
He subconsciously clenched his palms, and suddenly his expression changed.
——The ice sword cannot be summoned!
Qi Qing's heart immediately sank to the bottom, and he finally realized that the Demon Lord was obviously well prepared.
This person couldn't possibly fight against all the cultivators head-on, so he transformed into Yue Ji's appearance and attacked him first, but the problem was -
What exactly does he want to do?
Without the ice sword, Qi Qing was briefly at a loss and almost couldn't resist the attack of the Demon Lord. He turned his head to avoid a palm strike.
The stone wall behind him was affected and collapsed. He took advantage of the momentum to roll over and escaped from the Demon Lord's attack range in a desperate manner.
Qi Qing took a deep breath, pulled out a spare iron sword from his storage ring, and blocked a few attacks while fighting and retreating. Then he shouted loudly: "Someone come! The Demon Lord is invading!"
But the whole camp was as quiet as death. He called three times, but no one answered.
The demon king attacked again.
The iron sword that was used as a temporary filler was just an ordinary item after all. Under the violent attack of the Demon Lord, it made a "clang" sound and soon followed the fate of the ice sword.
The next attack was right in front of him, carrying with it a fierce murderous intent, and there was no way to avoid it.
Can't stop it.
Qi Qing knew clearly that if he took this attack, he would be either dead or injured.
Don’t even think about trying to fight against the Tribulation Crossing Stage in the Spiritual Transformation Stage - what kind of good person would be dragged to fight the final boss right after leaving the leveling field!
At the critical moment of life and death, he dared not hesitate any longer and replaced the skill card in a flash.
Come out, you equal opponent!
Since you can't beat him, just force the final boss to the same level as yourself!
However, when the Demon Lord saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Instead of panicking, he revealed a creepy smile.
While laughing, he took the initiative to meet Qi Qing's attack, his voice cold and excited: "That's it!"
“Shua!”
Seeing that the Demon Lord was about to collide with the tip of his sword, Qi Qing's vision suddenly went dark.
...What's going on?
Wasn't he fighting the Demon King? How come he suddenly couldn't see or hear anything?
His mind was in a state of chaos, his five senses were completely lost, and he couldn't even tell the direction.
Qi Qing felt a chill in his heart - the Demon Lord was pressing on him step by step, just to force him to use this skill card?
This time, the power that did not belong to him not only failed to be a help, but instead turned into invisible shackles that bound up all the spiritual power in his body.
"cough!"
The young man struggled hard for a few times and tried to condense an ice sword in his hand several times, but it collapsed the moment it appeared.
A bony hand suddenly grasped his throat; the cold touch made him tremble all over. As the five fingers tightened, his fragile cervical vertebrae made a creaking sound under the heavy burden.
“Crack—”
Just when Qi Qing thought he was going to be strangled to death, the sound of a mirror shattering suddenly broke the silence.
The grip on his neck suddenly loosened. Qi Qing staggered a few steps, half-knelt on the ground, covered his throat and coughed violently, his eyes still dark.
He felt that several complex auras were approaching, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. It must be the reinforcements that arrived.
A familiar voice quickly approached him and asked anxiously, "Master! How are you!"
Following this call, the others immediately started to make noise.
"How dare the demons invade alone!"
"No, how come this person looks exactly like Yue Ji! Does he have a twin brother?!"
"Brother Qi, be careful!"
"Form a formation! Don't let him escape!"
The sound of weapons clashing rang out, and there seemed to be chaos all around. Qi Qing was blind and could not help. He hurriedly listened to the sounds and moved towards the friendly forces.
“Master!”
Yue Ji's voice was getting closer, and he said anxiously, "Come to me!"
There were more than ten seconds left on the skill card, and two auras attacked him at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.
Qi Qing rushed towards the direction of Yue Ji's voice without hesitation.
Then, I fell into a cool embrace.
"Little bastard."
The Demon Lord's frivolous voice sounded in his ears, with a sullen laugh of evil interest: "It seems that your master likes me more?"
! !
A moment of dead silence.
Qi Qing groaned and thought he was doomed.
As expected, Yue Ji's voice suddenly became extremely angry: "Beast! How dare you——!"
Before the young man could escape, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and lost all consciousness the next second.
…
Deep forest.
The sky is gloomy and it's about to rain.
Jiang Chenqiu had seen such gloomy weather many times in the Soul Abyss, so he didn't like it. He raised his hand to his brow and looked around, with a hint of anxiety between his brows.
Today should have been the day he and Yue Ji had agreed to transfer the Mirage Clan, but no one showed up after waiting for a long time. Seeing the time passing by, he was not sure whether he should continue to wait or take his people away first.
At this moment, a strange ripple suddenly appeared in the void ahead.
Jiang Chenqiu instantly pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand and stepped back half a step, and the ripples had solidified into shape.
A space formation unfolded on the spot, and strong demonic energy gushed out.
“Stand back!”
The old man from the Mirage Clan suddenly showed up, and his spiritual shield instantly unfolded, barely blocking the first wave of attacks from the formation.
However, it was too late. Four demon generals, fully armed, swooped out of the formation with their demon clan, and pointed the sharp cold light directly at the two people in front of them.
"Finally found you!"
The leading demon smiled ferociously, his sharp white teeth standing out in the darkness.
Jiang Chenqiu swung his sword to block a few attacks, and immediately determined that the strength of the two sides was very different. He turned to the old man of the Mirage Clan and said urgently: "Don't worry about me! Take your people away quickly!"
"It's too late."
The demon general sneered, cunningly bypassed his defense, and rushed straight to the rear of the Mirage Clan.
At the critical moment, a brilliant sword light suddenly exploded.
“Zheng——”
Amidst the harsh sound of collision, an unexpected figure stood in front of the demon general.
He was a young man wearing coarse cloth, with a face as gloomy as water. His eyes, which should have been smiling, were now calm and serious.
Jiang Chenqiu was stunned for a moment: "Ji Chunfeng?"
The demon generals quickly adjusted their formation and prepared for an attack, but were forced back by Ji Chunfeng's fierce swordsmanship.
He turned around and said to Jiang Chenqiu in a deep voice: "The two people you are waiting for will not come, follow me!"
…
Qi Qing's consciousness gradually regained consciousness.
He didn't know where he was. He couldn't see anything and his limbs couldn't move.
He seemed to be trapped in a narrow cage. He could hear and smell, his mind was clear but he couldn't leave his body, as if his body was the cage itself.
This was even worse than the inner demon illusion when he broke through the realm. There, he could at least see the small dark rooms of "Qi Qing" and "Yue Ji", but now he could see nothing.
He tried to open the live broadcast system. Although the interface was still there, it seemed to be disconnected from the Internet. The system customer service had no response, there was no barrage, and all the background books and skill cards were blocked.
The world fell into a strange silence.
Qi Qing had a bad feeling. The Demon Lord could actually block the live broadcast system that even the realm breakthrough could not interfere with!
——What methods did he use?
"It's not a means, it's your soul that was driven out." Someone said lightly in the darkness.
Qi Qing immediately looked around alertly, trying to see something in the darkness: "Who! Who is talking!"
Without answering, he tried to "walk" a few steps with his spiritual sense and asked, "You mean, I am outside my body now? Then where is this place?"
There was silence for a while, and the man still didn't answer.
Qi Qing asked again: "Are you also a soul?"
Now, the man spoke slowly, with a hint of amusement: "If I say yes, will it make you feel better?"
"certainly."
"Then I'd rather say no." The man immediately changed his words.
Qi Qingcai didn't believe it: "Were you also harmed by the Demon Lord?"
"...I would like to, but I'm not like you."
The man's voice was sometimes far away and sometimes near, and he said faintly: "You are a visitor from outer space, with mutated spiritual roots, and you are the young master's favorite. If the Demon Lord doesn't take you away, who else can he take?"
"Seize?" Qi Qing noticed the word keenly.
"Have you never heard of the Soul Stealing Technique?"
Hearing Qi Qing not answering, the other party did not explain, but only said: "You have two choices now. First, wait patiently for the young master to come and save you."
Qi Qing frowned: "I don't even know where this is, how can Yue Ji find it?"
"Then choose the second way." The man's voice suddenly became serious. At the same time, Qi Qing felt a breeze blowing across his face.
"From now on, trust me and follow me, but—"
He paused for a moment and said, "After you get out, I can't guarantee whether your soul can return to this body."
