"Or else leh? Now your magic maybe can win against old-style Qi training late stage, but you no got spell or magic tool, you fight what la? Cannot one!" That old man shouted inside Wang Qi's mind, "You want happy-go-lucky life is OK, but no power to protect yourself, this kind of fun confirm cannot last long. This is the world reality la!"
Wang Qi also shout back in his mind: "Oi old man! You want preach can, but choose right timing can or not?! We haven't escape yet leh!"
Damn it...
Wang Qi clenched his fist, but he still crawl slowly.
"That three guys already walk further liao, now quick quick crawl along bushes there."
"Which direction?"
"Try don't go near that Yuan Ying level one and the girl fighting one."
Because he very scared that three Foundation Stage guy will see him, Wang Qi only dare to move with his elbow and stomach, like very slow worm. His few years of movement technique, totally useless now. The mountain got so many sharp rock and thorn, so very fast his clothes already spoil, his hand also cut until got few bleeding one.
"Cannot like this continue lah, I think if still crawl like that, I not die from enemy, I die from skin and muscle all tear open!"
He damn kancheong (nervous). As a modern people, Wang Qi know very clear: bleeding too much and body pain will make your brain cannot focus. In this kind of weak vs strong fight, that is die-certain situation. But no choice, he can only continue, like drink poison to quench thirst.
"Aaaargh damn it all!"
Suddenly got angry roar from the top of his head. Then a lot of sword energy come raining down. Wang Qi see got few sword beam stab the ground nearby, straight away scared until sweat all come out, quickly took out one silver talisman.
Zhen Chanzi shout, "Don't panic! That guy's sword style is for close range fighting. From far like this, the sword energy got a lot of gap between! Not easy hit one!"
Wang Qi bite teeth, try to don't activate the talisman yet. The sword energy like crazy keep cut tree branch, break rocks, dig the ground. Some beam only land like one meter from Wang Qi, make him cold sweat non-stop.
After awhile, the sword attack only stop.
Zhen Chanzi say, "If use our ancient way to count, that boy maybe just now use already half his mana — but that sword technique I think I saw before…"
"You see sword technique too many already lah— I really feel like give them a hard one. Eh old man, the attack talisman can use or not?"
"I don't know this kind of talisman. But see from the mana sealed inside, can kill a Foundation Stage no-spell one easily. But I dunno if need close range, or can throw far. Also don't know need aim properly or can control after activate. If you use now, you betting your life!"
Wang Qi gave a cold smile, "So near-range or far-range, need aim or no need aim… If I want break this stuck situation, must be both can far throw and can control. Chance like only one quarter."
"Then you want bet or not?"
"Bet what la?! Unless confirm will die if don't bet, then only can bet. Anything below 90% win chance, all is stupid gamble."
"Then how?"
"I wait. Now in front all become empty place already from the sword energy. If I move now very easy get spotted."
Zhen Chanzi said again, "Better don't put hope on that girl. She can't hold much longer."
"What!?"
"If no miracle happen, she maybe can tahan for one tea cup time only."
Actually, Xiang Qi really cannot tahan liao.
Tianxu Sword Disc is the most "changeful" among modern sword styles, but it need long time to mature. The whole sword style got seven layers. First three is entry only. Only after fourth layer got the real powerful moves.
Xiang Qi still haven't even finish layer three.
The silver sword disc spinning around her body, keep blocking those spell attacks from enemy, but how long can tahan? At first still can find time to counterattack, but now, so many attack like rainstorm keep come, she can only turtle up her defense.
"Finish liao right, little girl?"
That Yuan Ying old-style cultivator laugh with bad heart. He already see through Xiang Qi's power. Mid Foundation Stage. If old-style one, maybe can beat even Late Core Stage.
But him? He is Yuan Ying Stage!
He smile like want kill cat. He since small got cultivation talent, but root-bone not good, always stuck at first level. Get laughed by everyone, then go join the ancient cultivation group. So now he hate all modern-style genius, especially like Xiang Qi, got talent and high understanding one. Kill them slowly, watch them die with pain — this is his weirdest happiness.
All better than me one, must die!
So his attack more fast, more brutal.
Xiang Qi already start to shake, the Yuan Ying guy every attack shake her internal mana base. She feel like someone punching her stomach direct. Blood come out from her mouth — red red and scary. She know very well, she soon will collapse.
But that time, from far, got one super strong sword intent fly here!
"Chance coming." Zhen Chanzi say very chill.
"What?" Wang Qi totally blur blur. He now weakest in whole place, so no feeling toward those high-level power thing. Even the three chasing him also stop moving, all look blur toward the direction of the sword intent.
"That Li boy come back already… Wait, not only him! Beside him got one old-style Yuan Ying top-level one! That guy is blocking Li from saving the girl!"
Wang Qi ask, "Can make it in time?"
"I not sure. That ancient cultivator, if in our time, confirm elite among elite." Zhen Chanzi admit. He already see Xiang Qi fight above her level, so now even Li Ziye fighting Yuan Ying when still Core Stage not so surprising: "The enemy's skill… wait, this… this is!?"
Zhen Chanzi's tone suddenly got panic!
Damn! Really got problem liao!
When Li Ziye saw the fire from Dabaicun direction, his heart straight drop to bottom.
This area should be got very few ancient cultivators. Why he so suay (unlucky) just happen to meet one Yuan Ying Late Stage? The moment he feel something wrong at the village, he already think maybe this all one big trap.
"Oi don't run! Eat my attack!"
Fighting him now is one cold face young man in white robe, use big heavy sword. He shout loud, then his sword become many sword shadow attack Li Ziye.
This one is ancient strongest skill – sword style from "Huang Ji Lie Tian Dao"! Super strong, super fierce, unstoppable one! Li Ziye don't dare be slack, his soul energy spread cover whole place, then his skill "Yao Ding Suan Jing" run full speed, calculate the enemy move. Then his sky sword go poke the weak point!
Ding! That one gentle poke from his sword, just nice hit the enemy when old force finish, new force not yet start. Super perfect timing! The sword power explode. Cold guy feel his sword nearly fly out from hand!
So strong!
This is what a Yuan Ying expert say to a Core Stage guy. In old style era, sure cannot happen. But now? Modern cultivators always fight people above level! Even strong ancient cultivator like cold guy, maybe still lose to same stage modern fighter!
Li Ziye's sword attack very fast, straight break cold guy's sword skill. Cold guy don't dare use body to block — sky sword is too sharp, so he quickly retreat.
But Li Ziye still not calm. Because just now, that delay let him slow a bit. He can feel Xiang Qi now really in big danger!
That Yuan Ying ancient cultivator also realise liao. If he kill Xiang Qi before Li come, he win! Even later group up with cold guy, maybe still can kill Li too!
Xiang Qi also know what is key point now. She forcefully prepare one forbidden skill that will use up her life force.
Li Ziye shout one loud roar, become sword light, zoom straight to that Yuan Ying guy!
Wang Qi still hiding that side, his skill cannot fool Li Ziye but still can trick ancient people. So still can survive. But Xiang Qi and the Yuan Ying fight is real life and death moment!
Cold guy wanna stop Li Ziye, but suddenly he stop. His move slow down, just let Li Ziye pass by.
Li Ziye surprise but got no time to think why, he quickly rush to Xiang Qi side. The ancient Yuan Ying cultivator very shock — this is like cold guy betray him!
At this moment, Wang Qi feel his black jade ring suddenly hot. Then Zhen Chanzi shout inside his mind, "RUN! FAST! GO TO LI ZIYE SIDE! He is disciple of Huang Ji Lie Tian Dao! HUANG JI LIE TIAN DAO!"
Li Ziye don't know what happen to Zhen Chanzi. He just cut with all power, sky sword slash down hard! One golden sword light roar through sky, fly straight at the Yuan Ying ancient cultivator.
That guy busy attack Xiang Qi, where got time to block? His body shield break like soap bubble, then the sword light tear him into pieces!
Xiang Qi also use the last energy, shoot out three sword discs, poof poof poof, all go into the enemy chest.
See that, Xiang Qi finally collapse, blood vomit out, faint down.
Li Ziye finally relax a bit, turn around want go fight cold guy proper. But what he see next make his eye nearly burst—
That cold guy run straight to Wang Qi direction!
Wang Qi face now is damn angry.
He know cannot run from Yuan Ying level enemy liao, so he shout loud: "You bastard! I should already guess you damn one big KENG HUO!"
