Chapter 281: Connate Blazing Sun Astral Qi! Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Oriole Behind (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Zhao looked at the system notification and was secretly shocked.
His current pure physical strength was definitely inferior to steel.
He had to have the Astral Qi to block the Blazing Sun True Astral.
As for the power of the Sun True Astral, he didn’t know if he could withstand it with Vajra Protection and Flood Dragon Transformation.
The best method was not to let others use it.
“The White Tiger Bloodline is of the metal attribute. The innate metal qi is extremely strong. Murong Qi is best at the White Tiger Killing Sword,” Han Zhao thought.
At the same intensity, fire could counter metal. Even if he could not use the Sun True Astral, if he used the Connate Astral Qi and the Sun True Astral at the critical moment, it would be enough for him to suffer!
Only when the Vajra Technique was raised to the Second Level would there be a greater increase. However, the Second Level was a huge bottleneck for the Martial Saint Realm.
He was only at the Four Qi Realm now and had yet to perfect the Five Elements Qi. Even if he had enough attribute points, he could not advance to the Second Level.
“System, increase the Blazing Sun Technique.”
Han Zhao chanted in his mind.
[Attribute Points: 130 o]
Blazing Sun Technique (Fourth Level Greater Mastery 89%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Extreme Heat Level 21, Blazing Sun True Qi, Blazing Sun True Astral)
A terrifying heat flowed through Han Zhao’s body. The skin on his entire body was like a cooked lobster. It was red and white smoke rose.
Buzz!
Han Zhao circulated his true qi and activated the Connate Astral Qi. A translucent Qi barrier enveloped his entire body.
Immediately after, he activated the Blazing Sun Technique. The Qi barrier turned red at a visible speed, and a shocking heat was released.
“I don’t think it’s called Connate Astral Qi anymore. It has to be called Connate Blazing Sun Astral Qi!”
Sizzle, sizzle…
The ebony tree, which was as hard as steel, could not withstand the high temperature of the Connate Blazing Sun Astral Qi and emitted white smoke. The floor under Han Zhao’s feet was charred.
Fortunately, his body was protected by true qi.
Otherwise, the Connate Blazing Sun Astral Qi would burn his clothes as soon as it was used. That would be a death technique.
In the afternoon.
In the tea farm outside Fanlin Town.
In the backyard.
Ji Qingshuang was sitting on the stone table in the courtyard, enjoying the flowers and tea, leisurely eating pastries.
Tap, tap, tap!
On the porch, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.
Clearly, the person was in a hurry.
Ji Qingshuang glanced at Ji Yun, who had walked into the courtyard, and was displeased.
“Miss Qingshuang, something big has happened.” Ji Yun bowed with a solemn expression.
“What is it?” Ji Qingshuang asked calmly.
“I just received news that the Longevity Sect’s stronghold in Feiye Village’s black iron manor has been destroyed!” Ji Yun said in a low voice.
“That stronghold is extremely secretive. Only my lineage knows.” Ji Qingshuang frowned slightly.
“What did Gao Baijie say?
“Cult Master Gao’s whereabouts are unknown. Moreover, the He family’s ancestor, He Wuji, who was recommended by him to join the sect, has also disappeared. It’s said that the entire backyard of the black iron manor has been razed to the ground,” Ji Yun added.
“In that case, Gao Baijie and He Wuji might be dead?!” Ji Qingshuang was shocked.
“The possibility is very high)” Ji Yun said seriously.
“If I want to kill Gao Baijie and He Wuji without revealing my whereabouts, even I have to activate the Seven Evil Mask divine weapon at all costs to do so. If a Martial Saint were to make a move, it would probably be a Three Fiend Realm Martial Saint who has mastered a Lesser Divine Power,” Ji Qingshuang said in a low voice.
“The only Martial Saint in the Yuan Chang County who has mastered a Lesser Divine Power seems to be the Academy Head, Qin Qingxu. As for experts of the same combat strength, the Zheng family has a few, but they don’t seem to have the motive to attack.” Ji Yun gave her analysis.
“Yesterday, Han Zhao obtained the detailed location of the stronghold from us. Something happened there today. This matter should be related to him,” Ji Qingshuang said in a low voice.
“Could it be that one of the guardians of the Spirit Guardians made a move?” Ji Yun asked curiously.
“The top experts of the Spirit Guardians are basically all from the Qi family. In order to block the experts of the Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family, Qi Yuntian has already used all his strength.” Ji Qingshuang shook his head.
“There are only a few experts with the ability and motive to attack. The Spirit
Guardian won’t deal with the Longevity Sect now for a mere Han Zhao.”
“Then who could it be? Could it be Murong Qi?” Ji Yun asked suspiciously. “Murong Qi is arrogant and unruly. It’s not impossible.”
Ji Qingshuang’s expression was solemn. If it was Murong Qi who made a move, there was no need for a motive.
“Where is Han Zhao now?” Ji Qingshuang changed the topic.
“He left the manor yesterday and took a boat back to Furious Flood Dragon Island. He should be arriving soon.” Ji Yun asked, “Should we send a shadow guard to monitor him?”
“I’ll bring a shadow guard with me this time and let him continue to monitor Murong Qi. As for Han Zhao… I don’t think he has the ability!” Ji Qingshuang glanced at Ji Yun. “Go to the Furious Flood Dragon Island in a few days.”
“Yes!” Ji Yun immediately understood. After following Ji Qingshuang for so long, she naturally understood what she meant.
Regardless of whether this matter was related to Han Zhao, she could use this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
The next morning, as soon as Han Zhao returned to the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, he pretended to hold a gang meeting to discuss seeking Ji Qingshuang’s protection.
As he expected, most of the gang members objected.
When everyone was arguing and wanted him to express his stance, he began to smooth things over and terminated the meeting on the grounds that he had to consider it carefully.
Although Han Zhao was prepared to kill Ji Qingshuang, he had to put on a full
snow.
These gang members could enjoy blessings together. If they were in trouble, there might not be anyone who would join them. It was hard to guarantee that no one would join Ji Qingshuang for benefits..
