Chapter 118 - Sword Qi (2/2)

As if understanding something, Yi Qing fended off the black Qi and answered, “My master taught me that demons aren’t formless – they’re just moving very quickly.”

The man pondered this and suddenly looked as though he had figured everything out. “Many thanks!” he shouted, before he got up to charge at the black figure. He no longer hid within the defensive array. Instead, he rushed straight at the black smog at top speed. Indeed, the demon could no longer hide within the black smog. It had no choice but to retreat.

Just as they were about to defeat the demon, a bright white beam of light shot out from behind them and broke through the thick demonic Qi, illuminating the night sky. The air in Qu Shuang City was suddenly filled with strong sword Qi.

“Little An!” The injured immortal shouted! The demon took the chance while the immortal was distracted and escaped.

“This sword Qi is…” The green-robed immortal whom Lonemoon had saved earlier went as white as a sheet. The immortal looked up at the other immortal in the sky and said, “Father! Could Little An be…”

The other immortal frowned deeply and started to fly toward the white beam of light when Yi Qing, seeing the white beam, said, “the Primordial Soul Sword QI!”

The immortal paused and landed on the ground, turning around to look at Yi Qing in shock. “You know it!” Suddenly realising something, he said, “could you be-”

“A sword cultivator!” Yi Qing nodded and flew on his sword. “Let’s go over first!”

A look of excitement crossed the father and son’s faces, then they flew off to overtake Yi Qing and lead the way toward the white beam.

Lonemoon frowned and followed behind them. He nudged Yi Qing and whispered, “What’s the Primordial Soul Sword Qi?” He was a sword cultivator too, but he had never heard of such a thing.

“That’s the kind of sword that is contained in the veins and becomes thicker as the sword cultivator becomes stronger. If the cultivator can tap into this sword Qi, it would help his cultivation. But if he does not know how to use it, it could harm him,” he explained as he flew. “This kind of Sword Qi is only present in those with the innate sword embodiment!”

“Oh.” Lonemoon finally understood. So that was what it was. Hmph, another natural cheat!

The few of them flew toward the white beam of light and found that everything around it already reduced to smithereens. Beside the blinding white beam stood someone in a black robe who stared at the white beam of light.

“Who are you?” The immortal who had been battling the demon asked coldly. He did not think there were other people in the compounds. “Why are you-”

“Master!” Before he could finish, Yi Qing – who was standing behind him – rushed forward with a look of pure excitement on his face. When he reached the woman, he asked, “Are you alright?”

“Yes,” Shen Ying replied, nodding. I am just hungry.

“This…” Yi Qing looked around and saw that there were over ten immortals in black robes lying on the ground, unconscious. There was yet another one under Shen Ying’s foot.

“Oh, they are human traffickers.” She pointed at the center of the white beam. “They wanted to kidnap the child and sell him. I just…”

Yi Qing listened and was just about to ask another question when he was interrupted.

The green-robed immortal in front of him looked anxiously into the white beam, then turned around and knelt to Yi Qing. “Sword Immortal, please save my son! His body is just like yours. Only you can help him remove the Primordial Soul Sword Qi from inside his body. If you are willing to save him, I, Bao Feiping, will do anything in return!”

Yi Qing turned to look at the small child in the middle of the white beam of light. He frowned. He looked no more than ten years old, but his cultivation level was so high that he seemed almost ready to ascend to become an Earth Immortal. It was no wonder that his tiny body was too weak to contain such strong Primordial Soul Sword Qi. If this continued on, he would be killed by the sheer strength of the sword Qi in his body.

He helped the immortal up and said, “Immortal Friend, please do not stand on ceremony. I will try my best to help, but you must know that I am weak and my own Primordial Soul Sword Qi has been suppressed for a long time. I dare not guarantee that I will be able to get rid of all the sword Qi in your son’s body.”

“Fellow Immortal, please do not worry. Go ahead and try!” Bao Feiping cupped his fists and continued, “No matter the outcome, I will remember this great favour.”

Yi Qing nodded and began to walk into the white beam of light, but Shen Ying pulled him back.

“Master?”

Shen Ying instructed, “Be careful and come out soon.”

“Yes, Master!” Yi Qing answered happily. Master was most worried about him. He was touched…

Shen Ying: Sigh, dinner is delayed yet again!

Lonemoon was the only one deep in thought while studying the two strangers in their midst.

Bao Feiping?

Isn’t that the name of the City Lord?

What a huge business prospect!
