Chapter 16: Different Paths End in Love "Although foxes are spiritual, it is not easy to practice Taoism. Why bother with fighting?" Lingxiang sighed. "You and I have never offended each other, but you insist on ruining my good deeds and coming here to die. It would be disrespectful to refuse such a kind invitation!" Liu Yaoyi said, using her claws as blades to kill Lingxiang. Lingxiang couldn't help but sneer when seeing this. She pushed Long Qi aside and then used her right hand to perform the Lotus Heart Sword Technique. “Oh! Although you are one level higher than me, you are still a mountain spirit after all. When it comes to this magic, it’s not certain who can be better than you!” As he said that, he used his finger as a sword and rushed forward. Although she said this, she was not very sure in her heart. The reason why she mentioned the magic just now was actually to delay time. However, Liu Yaoyi was obviously unwilling to give in, so she had to bite the bullet and do it. She saw her right hand filled with energy and turned it into a sword. She took a deep breath and leaped in front of Liu Yaoyi, leaning forward and stabbing her in the heart. But Yaoyi was a charm-level demon after all. She transformed her energy into wind and wrapped it around her left claw. With a light wave, she deflected the sword move. She then instantly gathered her energy into fire and wrapped it around her right claw, going straight for Lingxiang's face. Lingxiang bent down to avoid it, spun around, and turned around to sweep towards Yaoyi's lower body. At the same time, she made a gesture with her left hand and made a magnificent move. The invisible energy immediately hit Yaoyi. Yao Yi transformed her energy into wind and used the wind as a shield to wrap herself up, taking the move. After the move was resolved, she transformed the wind shield into countless wind blades and shot towards Ling Xiang. Seeing this, Lingxiang retreated hastily, clasping her hands together and using the Bolangbujing Jue to resist. However, Yaoyi's wind blades kept shooting out like falling beans, and even with her hands together, she was forced to retreat.
Seeing that the shield was about to break, two yellow talismans flew towards Yao Yi. Yao Yi hurriedly withdrew her strength to dodge, but one of them was still stuck to the corner of her clothes. She was shocked: Damn it! But for a long time, the talisman power did not take effect. "Oh, it didn't work." Long Qi scratched his head and looked at the talisman in his hand, "How could this happen? It doesn't make sense!" Lingxiang rolled her eyes when she saw this: You stupid guy, why do you think he pulled you aside? "I actually forgot about you." Yao Yi said, kicking towards Long Qi with great force. Although Long Qi's cultivation was shallow, he had practiced martial arts for several years after all. When he saw Yao Yi attacking him, he quickly threw away the talisman and dodged. Yao Yi turned around and chased after him, but Long Qi was as swift as a rabbit and no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up with him. After carrying water for a month, Lingxiang had developed good leg strength. She couldn't help but feel relieved when she thought about it. Yao Yi was also tired of chasing him, so she used a move called "Swallowing Mountains and Rivers" to imprison Long Qi. When she got close to him, she kicked him towards Lingxiang. Lingxiang was practicing the Waves and Sea Tide Art to seal Yaoyi's hands and feet, but just as she was concentrating, Long Qi came flying over and they crashed into the corridor. Her internal energy was forced back, and she fainted due to the impact of gravity. Long Qi felt dizzy and seemed to have bumped into something. When he stood up, covering the painful spot, he saw Lingxiang with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. He hurried forward and hugged her. His thoughts became confused for a moment. …… "Really? Then you must take good care of her in the future!" …… A blurry figure flashed before his eyes. Long Qi couldn't remember who it was, but the gentle voice made him inexplicably irritated. He broke his promise! He promised to protect her, but he was so incompetent... Why it was considered a broken promise, Long Qi himself had no idea, he only knew that he would be alone again! Everything in the past is still vivid in my mind, as if it were happening again. The courtyard was covered with blood, and even the moon was reflected red... "Xiao Qi, hide here and don't make any noise..."
"Xiao Qi, no matter what, you must survive!" His brother's instructions were still ringing in his ears, but then there were the howling sounds that made him irritable and anxious. The air swirled around Long Qi's body, and Yao Yi couldn't help but feel a chill. This is a breakthrough! Although this young boy has little cultivation, his power will increase dramatically the moment he breaks through the realm. We must not let him succeed. Yao Yi rushed forward with her claws holding the wind, but it was too late. Just as she was about to hit Long Qi, a strong force pushed her away! Long Qi entered the Qi Refining Stage! But he seemed to be abnormal, and he punched Yao Yi without caring about anything. “Ha! Even though you have broken through the realm, you still don’t understand the Dao formula. There is a huge gap between you and me, yet you still want to fight me. How ridiculous!” Yao Yi easily pushed Long Qi aside, but Long Qi seemed to feel no pain no matter whether he was knocked down or cut by the wind blades. He stood up again and rushed towards her like a wild beast. Just as Long Qi stood up again and was about to rush out, a heart-clearing talisman was attached to his back. It was spiritual incense! She woke up when Long Qi broke through just now, but he was injured and could hardly move. If he had entered the Qi Refining stage at other times, it would have been a good thing, but now his mind is injured and he has lost his will. If he tries to break through by force, he might go astray and hurt his foundation. After he was covered in blood and fought off several times, Lingxiang finally gathered enough strength to stand up and attached the Qingxin Talisman to Long Qi's back. What made him lose himself? Lingxiang realized at this moment that she didn't really understand him, and he wasn't as frivolous as he usually appeared. The curse seal on the talisman flashed with light, and Long Qi came back to his senses instantly. He felt a sharp pain all over his body and sat down unsteadily. Only then did he notice Lingxiang behind him, leaning on his back as if she had lost strength. She is still alive! that's nice! She is still alive! Huh? Why is he worried about her? What happened just now? Long Qi was grimacing in pain at this moment, but his heart was full of confusion. "Hmph! You bunch of stinky Taoists are always meddling in other people's business! I had no intention of hurting anyone's life, but now that you know everything about me, I have no choice but to take your lives!" Yao Yi said, raising her claws to kill the two of them. Long Qi wanted to dodge, but when he thought about how Ling Xiang would be in trouble, he turned around and hugged her without hesitation. Then he wondered why he wanted to protect her like this. Lingxiang was also puzzled. Could it be that the relationship between Long Qi and her as master and disciple was so deep, or did he really want to recognize her as his mother? Just when Yao Yi was about to hit the two men, a figure rushed out and stood in front of them, and she pierced through the heart! Seeing that Yao Yi was still not coming to attack, Long Qi could not help but turn around and saw that it was Zhuang Wei who took the attack for them! Yao Yi, on the other hand, felt as if she had been struck by lightning and was unable to recover for a long time. "Yaoyi...Yaoyi..." Wei Zhuang called her softly and his body slowly fell down. Liu Yaoyi hurried forward and hugged him, but her face was still full of disbelief and tears were streaming down her face. "Yaoyi...Yaoyi..." Wei Zhuang endured the severe pain and touched her face with trembling hands. When the bloody hand touched her, she grabbed his hand as if frightened and cried out: "Master!" The hand that had turned into a demon claw pressed the bloody hole that was bleeding, but it was in vain. Wei Zhuang's blood continued to overflow, staining the stone road in the courtyard red, staining Yao Yi's clothes red, and also staining her eyes red.
"Husband... Husband... Don't leave me... Husband!" Yao Yi had a look of grief on her face and kept stroking Wei Zhuang's face. "Yaoyi... listen to me..." Wei Zhuang's face was pale and he had lost all his strength. "I will be content to marry you in this life. I know you did it because of me, but please don't do anything to hurt others again. It will only make you suffer. You will be left alone in the future..." Wei Zhuang wanted to look at Yaoyi a few more times, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his eyes. Ah! His wife was still so beautiful, just like the first time he saw her that day, with clear eyes... Seeing Wei Zhuang closing his eyes, Yao Yi's face was filled with sorrow. "Ms. sir! Mr. sir!" She kept crying and shouting, but Wei Zhuang's body in her arms gradually became colder and lifeless. When Lu Ying arrived, he saw Yao Yi with an expressionless face, slumped on the ground holding Wei Zhuang, while Ling Xiang was protected by Long Qi, sitting not far away. Lingxiang asked him to find Mr. Zhuang and tell him the truth, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this. (End of this chapter)
