Chapter 226: Adversity and Poverty
The flames of the sword formation began to get smaller, but Lingxiang continued to sit in meditation, as if she didn't care at all.
It's not that she really doesn't care, but she is thinking of a countermeasure. She just used the Lotus Heart Sword Formation and her spiritual power is already very low. If she wants to use it forcefully now, she may not be able to hold on for long. Moreover, she must find an opportunity to make Hui Wu reveal his flaws.
Just as Lingxiang was thinking about what to do, the flames of the Longyuan Sword Formation suddenly disappeared, as if the spiritual power had been exhausted. There was only a roar, and Lingxiang suddenly opened his eyes.
There was no room for thinking now. Lingxiang clasped her hands together and wanted to cast a spell, but the monsters swarmed over at an extremely fast speed and were about to reach her.
At this moment, there was a buzzing sound that suddenly resounded. The monsters all knelt on the ground, covering their ears, looking extremely painful.
It was at this moment that the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, which was originally inserted into the ground, suddenly rose into the air. Then a sword light appeared among the monsters, as fast as a meteor and like a silver snake.
It's flying sword!
Wherever Long Yuan went, there were howlings. Through the shattered remains, one could see Long Qi standing with his left hand behind his back, twirling his fingers with his right hand, his robe fluttering, looking like an immortal.
Seeing this, Hui Wu's face immediately turned ferocious. He exerted force on his hands suddenly, and the compass seemed to sense his anger. It was originally glowing with a dim light, and suddenly it became brighter, and there were more monsters.
"But how long can a mortal body last?"
Just at this moment, there was a gust of flying sand and rocks, and a knife was instantly placed on Hui Wu's neck, and the array pattern on the compass in his hand was also cut open by the knife.
The one holding the knife was none other than Xinyi who had escaped earlier using magic.
"You finally showed up. If it had been any later, I would have thought you had run away." Lingxiang stood up, brushed her skirt and smiled.
Xin Yi was waiting for the right opportunity in the dark. When the sword formation disappeared, he wanted to show up to save Ling Xiang. However, just as he was about to move, he found that Long Qi stood up, so he did not move. If he had exposed himself just now, he would not have had the opportunity to destroy the compass.
However, he also knew that Lingxiang was joking, so he just smiled and shook his head, but said nothing.
The formation was broken, and no more monsters appeared. Under Long Qi's sword moves, the surrounding monsters were slaughtered in just a few moments. After putting the Longyuan Sword back into the sheath, he quickly put away his skills and ran to Lingxiang, asking if she was injured. He checked her from head to toe and only felt relieved after confirming it.
Lingxiang had never expected that Long Qi's exploration of the innate Qi this time would actually improve his cultivation to this level. When she reached out her hand to check, she found that he had reached the foundation-building fusion stage just like herself.
If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll be outdone by him in the future! Forget it, since he saved me, I won't worry about it for now.
However, Long Qi seemed to have not noticed this yet, or perhaps because of his changed state of mind, he looked much calmer. He nodded to Xin Yi, who immediately understood and pushed Hui Wu closer to the two of them.
But Long Qi was still a little worried, so he stretched out his hand to protect Ling Xiang behind him, but the latter did not seem to appreciate it and slapped him on the arm.
"I am an elder of a sect after all. Hiding behind a disciple like this is not respectable at all. I am fine. There is no need to be so nervous. But you, have you noticed anything different?"
Long Qi rubbed his arms with an embarrassed look on his face, but he carefully examined himself for a moment: "I don't think there is any difference, it's just..."
"That's it?" Lingxiang was curious and blinked as she stared at Long Qi. Long Qi touched his face and said, "I just feel pain on my face, and I don't know why."
Just now he was in a hurry to save people and didn't notice it, but now Long Qi feels that his face seems to be a little swollen and hot. Could it be that Qi can make the face swell up?
Adao's ears suddenly moved, and he quickly turned his back, pretending to wonder when Zhao Wuyang would wake up.
At this time, Hui Wu snorted coldly: "You claim to be a famous and upright sect, but you actually use such inferior means. You are really shameless."
Upon hearing this, Long Qi was so angry that he wanted to step forward and teach Hui Wu a few punches, but was stopped by Lingxiang.
Ling Xiang said in a weird tone, "Oh, I don't understand. The ancients said, 'Treat others in their own way'. To me, it means 'Use different methods to deal with different people'. Why? You can become Bai Wuchang's lackey, but we can't use invisible methods? Besides, deception is not unfair in war, let alone against a weirdo like you who is neither human nor demon?"
After this conversation, Huiwu was so angry that his face turned red and white, but Lingxiang looked smug and looked at Huiwu provocatively.
What? I am good at talking, I can make people angry to death without paying for it, what can you do to me?
If Xinyi didn't know that Lingxiang said this to protect herself, he would have found it a bit irritating given the tone and expression she gave him. But fortunately, she was one of his own, so he found it a bit funny to hear her.
As soon as Ling Xiang said "Yo", Long Qi was startled. He was very familiar with this tone. When they first met, he had seen Ling Xiang's sharp tongue. Whenever she spoke like this, she would definitely say a lot of things, such as comparing astronomy to dirt and geography to retribution. Who knew who taught her this tongue?
But what Long Qi didn't know was that before he met Lingxiang, the headmaster and several elders of the Yuanqing sect had already understood this deeply, especially Elder Zhaoming.
Just as the three of them were thinking about their own things, a burst of laughter was heard from the forest, but this laughter sounded quite eerie.
"What a sharp-tongued wild girl! I will kill you today. I want to see if Dong Taishan, who is above the Ten Palaces, will be patient enough to listen to your eloquent words."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black mist rolled in, which was exactly the same as what Xinyi had just used.
"Oh no! It's Yinghua!"
Xinyi screamed, and Huiwu took the opportunity to push Xinyi away with a backhand palm, then turned around and broke free from Xinyi's restraints.
Hui Wu retreated a few feet away, and at this moment, the black mist fell beside him, and it was exactly Yinghuan.
"Little girl, you schemed against me before, now I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
Long Qi and Xin Yi held their swords tightly, looking stern as they stared at Yinghuan and Huiwu, while Lingxiang looked relaxed.
"Oh~ Madam, do you think Zhuyeqing tea tastes good and come to ask for it again? Blame me, blame me. I made the tea too weak. Otherwise, Madam wouldn't miss it so much, right?"
Hearing this, Yinghuan became so angry that her eyebrows raised and she reached out to pounce on Lingxiang.
Seeing this, Long Qi hurriedly pulled out Long Yuan, but at this moment, the earth suddenly shook, and along with the spinning of the sky and the earth, roars came from behind him, like thunder, piercing his ears!
