391 Fighting (1/2)
After that Jet-Black Soul Scimitar had sucked Qin Qiao's blood, it emanated a very strong killing power. The thick, bloody smell made one feel nauseous, but anyone who looked at that scimitar would also feel a coldness from within.
Nobody could be sure if it was a misconception, but Qin Qiao's aura had seemingly been elevated, and it was as though he had achieved the edge of the Qi Nucleation realm.
”Extinguish.” Qin Qiao breathed out coldly. The scimitar in his hand immediately turned into a black ray going straight at Qin Xiaoyou. It trailed a thick black fog that did not dissipate easily. It was very unusual.
Qin Xiaoyou's expression was very solemn as it was tightly fixed on that Jet-Black Soul Scimitar. She could feel that the evil sword was different from before, such that it could threaten her life. However, she was not afraid, because Mo Wen had always said that in order to be powerful, one had to experience difficult situations time and again. Only then would the improvements be significant.
Qin Qiao had an amazing weapon, but so did she! With just a flick of her finger, a silver-blue ray flashed, directly dispelling that black fog and clashing with that Jet-Black Soul Scimitar.
The clashing sound rang and reverberated, and the imposing black ray disappeared for a moment, revealing the scimitar. There was a layer of deep blue ice frost sealing up that Jet-Black Soul Scimitar's powers.
A stunned look flashed in Qin Qiao's eyes. He knew of the Jet-Black Soul Scimitar's power, yet there was something that could actually seal up that power. With a hard look, he noticed Qin Xiaoyou's weapon was a very exquisite silver-blue hair pin. It was magnificent. At the very end of the pin, there was a snake head that looked extraordinarily ferocious.
That's right, it was Mo Wen's Silver Serpent Freezing Pin. It was a unique hidden weapon in the world and had once been world-renowned. There was no knowing how many masters it had killed before, and it was definitely a lethal weapon that struck terror in people's hearts. However, there were currently not many people who knew of this lethal weapon. After all, there had been no news about it for many years. Even though it was very famous, it was something that had happened many years ago.
Mo Wen had given the 12 Silver Serpent Freezing Pins to Qin Xiaoyou as something to protect her. Although the Silver Serpent Freezing Pin was unique, it was nothing special in Mo Wen's hands and was therefore quite a waste. After all, he had the Sacred Fire Sword, so the Silver Serpent Freezing Pin was not of much use to him.
”Break into pieces.” Qin Qiao breathed out coldly, and a very strong Inner Qi flew out from his body to penetrate through that Jet-Black Soul Scimitar. Immediately, that scimitar shined with a black light that caused the blue ice frost surrounding it to completely shatter. In the next moment, Qin Qiao's figure flashed as he threw himself towards Qin Xiaoyou in preparation to personally attack. Although Qin Xiaoyou had a very unusual weapon, he did not think that it would make her a worthy opponent.
Qin Qiao flashed and appeared in front of that Jet-Black Soul Scimitar. He grabbed the scimitar, and his figure flashed once again, appearing not far away from Qin Xiaoyou. He slashed downwards with the scimitar in his hand, and a gust of cold air surged out. Suddenly, a bunch of eye-piercing black rays shot out from the scimitar and became a very frightening force heading directly towards Qin Xiaoyou.
With the help of that Jet-Black Soul Scimitar, Qin Qiao's casual attacks were already very shocking and were enough to threaten the life of an ancient martial art practitioner at the beginning stage of the Qi Nucleation realm. Qin Xiaoyou did not dare to use brute force against that scimitar, as clashing head on would not be of any benefit to her. Hence, she split her body into several figures and flashed multiple times. In the next moment, she had already appeared ten meters away.
Although the Jet-Black Soul Scimitar could use the ripples of the soul to distinguish which image was her real body, her technique was very quick and dexterous, which made it difficult for anyone to tell.
”Where did you go?” A bright look took over Qin Qiao's eyes, and the surges of Inner Qi from his body became more and more intense. A bunch of black fog surged out from above the Jet-Black Soul Scimitar, immediately dispersing dozens of meters away. It had actually sealed off everything in the surroundings, and a little segregated space had been created. Almost at the same time, Qin Qiao came dashing forward and slashed the scimitar in his hand downwards once again. His strength was obvious in that instant.
Qin Xiaoyou noticed that the black fog surrounding the area had a very strong repelling force. She tested it for a bit, and within a short period of time, she was actually unable to escape from within the black fog. Moreover, the black fog was also strongly corrosive, and the moment one was engulfed inside, strong scorching sensations were felt on the skin. In fact, this could be felt even through the protection of the body stemming from Inner Qi. If it had been the average person, the body would have rot and melted.
However, in the face of a strong opponent, the strength of the jet black sword had currently reached such an extent that Qin Xiaoyou was not given any time to break apart the black fog at all. In her helplessness, she could only extend her hand and wave. A gloomy claw suddenly appeared and immediately grabbed a hold of the attacking jet black sword.
If it had been any other sword of average strength, it would have definitely shattered to pieces upon being grabbed by the Taiyin Claws. However, while the Jet-Black Soul Scimitar's strength was not usual at all, Qin Xiaoyou's Cultivation was not that high, either. Hence, not only had she failed to shatter the force, it had even started to break into pieces and disappear into the air under the scimitar's strength.
However, it had also bought Qin Xiaoyou quite a bit of time. With a wave of her hand, tens strong rays of Taiyin Claws had shot out from within her sleeves, directly cutting above that black fog. Immediately, the black fog started to churn, and a hole had opened. Just as Qin Xiaoyou was prepared to wriggle out of the black fog, a figure appeared suddenly from behind. It was Qin Qiao. ”You won't be able to leave.”
He did not bother holding back at all and directly waved the sword twice. Immediately, two rays of sword Qi were created, one each heading towards Qin Xiaoyou on the right and left. It appeared to be two rays of lightning. If Qin Xiaoyou had continued trying to break out of the black fog, ignoring those two rays of Sword Qi, she would definitely have been caught up by them, and they would have killed her on the spot.
