Looking up at Qi Qingqing, then at his own robes, Qin Chu shook his head helplessly, "I really am in a sorry state. You fly high, see if there's any water, let's wash up first before talking about anything else."
Qi Qingqing raised her arm and actually pointed Qin Chu in a direction.
Seeing that direction, Qin Chu's heart trembled. The water source was ahead, in the direction of Sword North Forest.
A glimmer of hope was right before his eyes. Qin Chu stomped his foot and ran. This time, Qi Qingqing followed closely behind him. She wouldn't let Qin Chu dive into the big forest again, wouldn't give Qin Chu another chance to slip into the big forest.
After running for a while, a small lake appeared in front of Qin Chu. On the other side of the lake was Sword North Forest.
Qin Chu plunged into the lake, diving towards the bottom.
The lake was very deep. Qin Chu dove six or seven zhang into the water. After getting out of Qi Qingqing's sight, he swam towards Sword North Forest.
When he reached a spot close to Sword North Forest, Qin Chu stopped moving. He didn't believe Qi Qingqing would get wet and go into the water just to catch him.
As Qin Chu dove towards the bottom, Qi Qingqing struck out with a palm, but water has a strong ability to block attacks. Qi Qingqing's palm Qi collided with the water's surface, creating a loud bang, but it didn't injure Qin Chu.
Standing with her hands behind her back on the surface of the lake, Qi Qingqing's voice vibrated as she spoke, "Qin Chu, this Seat will not give you another chance. Come out now, and this Seat will tie you up and leave; if you don't come out within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, then when this Seat sees you, this Seat will break your legs and drag you away."
Qi Qingqing's voice vibrated as it was emitted, possessing extremely strong transmission power. The sound impacted in all directions, causing the water to ripple. Qin Chu, who was at the bottom of the lake, even heard the sound.
"Just keep doing this, just make a big fuss! After a while, the people of Sword North Forest will come, and then my safety will be assured." Qin Chu, who was at the bottom of the lake, felt that an opportunity had arrived. He was afraid that the commotion wouldn't be big enough for the people of Sword North Forest to notice. Now that Qi Qingqing was making such a fuss, it was exactly what he wanted. He wasn't sure how long he could stay at the bottom of the lake, but half an hour was no problem.
In fact, the situation was just as Qin Chu had imagined. With Qi Qingqing making such a fuss, the people of Sword North Forest knew about it, especially since Qi Qingqing had even shouted Qin Chu's name. The demon Cultivators of Sword North Forest reported it. The first to receive the news was Dahu, who was supervising his subordinates digging for ore in the restricted area. He sent his subordinate to the King's Hall to notify Ziluan, and then brought a few high-level demon Cultivators to the lakeside.
"No matter who you are, retreat quickly. Do not provoke my Sword North Forest." Dahu, holding a long spear, shouted at Qi Qingqing. At this time, Qi Qingqing was blocking Qin Chu's path into the big forest, and her standing position was already within the territory of Sword North Forest.
"Two or three big and small cats, dare to talk nonsense with this Seat? Talk more nonsense and this Seat will skin your cat hides for cushions, scram!" Looking at Dahu, Qi Qingqing cursed.
With a hum, Dahu's hair stood on end. Two or three big and small cats... and she wanted to skin their cat hides. Wasn't she talking about him and his few subordinates? They were demon tigers in human form, but now they had become 'big and small cats' in Qi Qingqing's mouth. How could he endure this?
Dahu roared, brandishing his long spear, and charged at Qi Qingqing.
At this moment, anger appeared in Qi Qingqing's eyes. With a wave of her right hand, a long sword with a blue aura appeared. The long sword thrust towards Dahu's long spear.
With a crisp sound, Dahu was knocked back, pushed back a considerable distance.
"This Seat will say it again, scram!" Qi Qingqing said after shaking the long sword in her hand. She didn't want to fight now; her target was Qin Chu.
"Who are you?" Dahu was shocked. He was a level seven King Realm Cultivator, one of the leaders of Sword North Forest, yet he was repelled by a single sword strike from the other party.
"Who this Seat is isn't important. Now, scram!" Qi Qingqing snapped coldly.
"You're thinking too much. The people of my Sword North Forest can be defeated, can die in battle, but they will never be scared away!" Dahu attacked again, but he knew that today he had encountered a top-tier expert. He couldn't discern the other party's Cultivation.
Qin Chu, at the bottom of the lake, heard the battle on the surface and knew he could appear.
Origin Qi vibrated, and Qin Chu burst out of the water, then rushed towards Sword North Forest.
"You little bastard, can you run away?!" With her right hand, the long sword repelled Dahu. Qi Qingqing's left hand reached out, and a surge of energy appeared, enveloping Qin Chu, then pulling him towards her.
Qin Chu leaped from the water, rushing towards Sword North Forest, still maintaining that posture, but his body was moving backward, approaching Qi Qingqing.
Qi Qingqing's right leg, from beneath her skirt, flew up and kicked Qin Chu's right calf with great force.
Crack! A crisp sound rang out. Qin Chu's calf bone was fractured by Qi Qingqing's kick. She wouldn't give Qin Chu another chance to run away.
Qi Qingqing's right hand brandished her long sword, continuously repelling Dahu. Her left hand produced a beast sinew, which she flung to bind Qin Chu's arms and upper body. Then, she kicked Dahu away and sent a sword flying towards Dahu's throat.
Dahu swung his long spear, blocking Qi Qingqing's ruthless sword strike, but his body was sent flying backward by the impact.
Not continuing to kill Dahu, Qi Qingqing lifted Qin Chu and flew away from the lake. Her target was Qin Chu; nothing else mattered.
Being carried by Qi Qingqing, Qin Chu's heart sank to the bottom. Dahu was so strong, yet he couldn't last more than a few rounds against Qi Qingqing. How strong was this Qi Qingqing exactly?
"The big cat from Sword North Forest isn't bad. I don't have time for him now, otherwise I'd subdue him and make him a mount!" Qi Qingqing said as she flew.
"Who exactly are you? You're so powerful, why are you targeting a low-level nobody like me?" Qin Chu was helpless now. Who could save him? Unless it was a seventh-stage Venerable Realm expert, unless it was a Saint Martial Enforcer.
"This Seat has already said, Qi Qingqing of Youwu Continent," Qi Qingqing said.
"What I'm asking is, what is your identity in Youwu Continent?" Qin Chu felt that this Qi Qingqing must have a very prominent background.
"What identity? The Palace Master of Wuyou Palace! Now Wuyou Palace no longer operates on Youwu Continent, and it's all because of that bitch Shang Ruoyu, shameless and despicable!" Qi Qingqing's voice turned cold.
"If you hate Shang Ruoyu, then you should Cultivate diligently and kill her," Qin Chu said.
Qi Qingqing shook her head, "That bitch Shang Ruoyu is despicable, but her strength is immense. Her Bloodline is powerful, and she has condensed a Saint Bone. It's very difficult to defeat her through normal Cultivation, so I can only take an unconventional route. Your Bloodline should be of King rank, and this Seat's Bloodline is also extraordinary. The Bloodline of a child between us will definitely be incredibly dominant. When the child's Bloodline forms, this Seat might be able to use its aura to strengthen myself. To strengthen myself and also create a powerful successor, why not?"
"You call Shang Ruoyu despicable and shameless, then what does that make you? You have no sense of chastity, you're shameless!" Qin Chu cursed at Qi Qingqing.
