A tall, majestic figure wearing a brown long gown stood with his hands clasped behind his back, steadily blocking the front position. His handsome face wore a faintly mocking expression, and his eyes seemed to be empty of everything, indifferent to all.
Qin Lingyun fell to the ground, her chest feeling suffocated, as if a small knife was stirring in her heart, a sweet and fishy smell rising from her abdomen, gradually surging up to her mouth.
Afraid of being discovered with the unusual color of her blood, Qin Lingyun made a great effort to hold back the urge to spit out this mouthful of blood. Although stars were flashing before her eyes and the sky was spinning around her, she still forcibly swallowed the blood down.
Then, with a flip of his palm, he tossed a Huan Yuan Dan into his mouth to quickly recover his spiritual energy. At the same time, his fingers formed a hand seal, and faint blue light dots gathered inside and outside his body, which was the water-based spell, Water Healing Technique.
After a few flashes of blue light, Qin Lingyun felt much more comfortable. This water therapy was quite useful.
Qin Lingyun turned her head and happened to meet the figure in front of her.
He was the monk of the foundation period, and I thought he wouldnt take action. Unexpectedly, he rushed up at the critical moment and struck Qin Lingyun back from the edge of the bamboo forest where she had almost escaped successfully.
Thinking of his previous move, Qin Lingyun couldnt help but secretly smile wryly.
That Taichu period cultivator, He Taiqing, simply waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind was born from it, as if a massive force had struck them head-on. The combined strength of Qin Lingyun and the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast couldnt withstand this single sleeve strike.
This is the divine path of cultivation for foundation-building monks!
Cultivators of the Refining Qi stage use spiritual power to communicate with the mysterious and profound Heavenly Dao principles in the void, thereby borrowing the power of nature such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, which is what is called magic.
Upon entering the Foundation Establishment stage, a cultivators foundation is deep and solid, blasting open the gate of spiritual energy. For the first time, they truly come into contact with the grand laws of the Dao, their physical body and divine spirit combining even more closely together. Naturally, they then possess supernatural powers that surpass those of ordinary spirits.
After obtaining the power of law, re-communicate with the great way of heaven and earth, and cultivate various mysterious and unpredictable magical techniques that far exceed the power of spells, having the ability to be unpredictable by gods and ghosts.
He Taiqing did not attack Qin Lingyun again, but stood calmly in front of her, completely disregarding Qin Lingyuns actions to treat her own wounds.
Seeing Qin Lingyun quickly standing up from the grass, He Taichengs eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. According to his calculations, a cultivator like Qin Lingyun who had only refined her Qi for seven layers should have been physically injured by his attack and be unable to move on the ground. But the female cultivator in front of him actually stood up beyond his expectations.
Hei Taqing said slowly: "Being able to receive my divine technique - Sleeve Within the Universe One Strike, youre quite skilled as a woman. However, an ant is just an ant. As a mere Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivator, being my furnace tripod is your honor."
Qin Lingyuns anger ignited in her heart, and her bright eyes became even calmer. The more dangerous the situation was, the more she needed to calm herself down. Facing this handsome man in front of her, for the first time, she felt a deep sense of contempt towards someone.
Its extremely rare for someone to say something so shameless with such a straight face.
Qin Lingyun did not utter a word of refutation, for at this moment language was the most feeble thing. Her consciousness rapidly calculated, but she couldnt think of an escape plan, because in the face of absolute strength, any scheme was pale. A Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of a Qi Refining cultivator was indeed like an ant.
"Even if Im an ant, I wont be caught easily!" Qin Lingyun thought to herself.
Finger seals, the black cone emits a sharp whistling sound towards He Taiching not far away, Qin Lingyun throws a speed-enhancing pill into her mouth, and the bloodthirsty lion beast rushes over like lightning.
Qin Lingyun sat on the back of the blood-sucking lion beast, pinched her fingers to form a seal, and chanted incantations in her mouth. A crystal-clear ice arrow flew swiftly towards He Taicheng, while a small bell also flew towards him. Meanwhile, Qin Lingyun rode the blood-sucking lion beast and transformed into a purple light, dashing towards another distant direction.
Suddenly, a sharp turn dodged the attack from behind by Li He and two other cultivators. The bloodthirsty lion transformed into a purple light, flying at an even faster speed than before. This speed was the result of the acceleration pills boost. Even for Li He and the others who were at the tenth level of Qi refinement, it was impossible to catch up.
Looking at the purple light in the distance, He Taichengs eyes flashed with surprise again. Such speed had already reached the limit of a Lianqi period cultivator. Even some cultivators who had just broken through to the Jiguan period might not have such speed. However, He Taicheng had broken through to the Jiguan period for decades and his magical powers were deep and profound, so it was not difficult for him to catch up with Qin Lingyun.
"You two dont need to follow behind anymore, return to the Mens Gate immediately." He Qing ordered, and then his sleeve moved, a small white boat emerged, growing bigger in the wind, soon it was one zhang long and one zhang wide. The small boat hovered in mid-air, surrounded by a layer of white mist.
He Taichengs figure flashed, and he was already standing on the small boat, urging his magical powers, the small boat rapidly chasing in the direction of the Bloodthirsty Lion Beasts escape.
Qin Lingyun turned her head to look back, and she saw a white light shuttling through the clouds and mist, its speed even faster than hers. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before she was caught up again.
Just now, the Jiedan period cultivator let her go so easily, also with a cat-and-mouse mentality, but even if its just a glimmer of hope, Qin Lingyun still had to work hard to grasp it.
Qin Lingyun threw another speed-enhancing pill into the Bloodthirsty Lion Beasts mouth, and after swallowing it, the Bloodthirsty Lion Beasts speed increased by a few more points.
Clouds and fog below, peaks stand tall, Qin Lingyun flies over the sky, heading deep into Jiaohu Mountain. Although the depths of Jiaohu Mountain are fraught with danger, where ferocious beasts roam, it is also the only place that holds a glimmer of hope.
Qin Lingyun temporarily stopped feeding the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast speed medicine, as this medicine had a certain limit to its use. Once exceeded, it would no longer take effect. Moreover, after using several pills, Qin Lingyun felt that the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast was in extreme pain. The more speed medicine it swallowed, the greater the burden on its body, and every inch of flesh and blood would ache intensely. Qin Lingyuns heart was filled with remorse as she could only watch the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast endure this suffering alone while still trying to fly.
The golden beast that had climbed back onto Qin Lingyus shoulder also seemed very quiet, its fate now closely tied to Qin Lingyus. If Qin Lingyu were caught, it would be caught too. Between the male cultivator and Qin Lingyu, it chose Qin Lingyu without hesitation, not just because she could bring it unimaginable benefits.
Whats more important is that she has an instinctive sense of trust in Qin Lingyun, a feeling that was originally vague but became increasingly evident after taking the Qi-tonifying pill.
