Chapter 687 - High Level Cooperation (2/2)

“You want to catch me?” Shu Yi laughed mirthlessly, completely unafraid. The demonic Qi around her began to stir. “Let’s just wait and see if you have what it takes.” With that, she struck a blow to the ground.

Demonic Qi began to flow out of the ground and spread all around. The entire Nameless Mountain was shaking again. Huge cracks appeared all over the ground and black demonic Qi flowed out of those cracks, toward the group.

“Quick, mount your swords!” Lonemoon shouted. He grabbed Zuo Two Bucks and flew off the ground. These were mere mortals after all. They could not be allowed to come into contact with demonic Qi.

All the elders hesitated for a moment before they understood what was going on. One by onoe, they summoned their dharmic weapons and began to fly off the ground. Suddenly, black Qi appeared beneath their feet and a black array formed around them. They felt all the spirit Qi leave their bodies. It was almost as if someone was wringing them dry. Not only were they unable to fly off the ground, they were pinned to the spot. It was obvious that Shu Yi had already set up a Binding Array where they were.

Everybody in the group was about to run out of spirit Qi. Even their cultivation levels were beginning to look unstable. Yi Qing frowned and flicked the sword in his hand. Immediately, a huge amount of sword Qi struck the ground. It landed on top of the array with a loud crash. The array that was made of demonic Qi was broken apart. Everybody relaxed slightly.

“Hmph! Stupid!” Shu Yi suddenly laughed mirthlessly. She no longer cared whether Yi Qing broke her array. Instead, she took the chance to turn around and fly toward the peak of the mountain.

It was then that everyone realised she had only set up the array to distract them. Immediately, they followed her.

But she was not trying to escape Gui Yi Sect. Instead, she charged into a yard on the peak of the mountain and grabbed a certain someone from the table. She strangled her and said loudly, “Don’t come nearer, or I’m going to kill her!”

“Shu Yi!” Zuo Shuming shouted. He no longer cared about the wounds he had on his body. Instead, he shouted angrily and anxiously, “What are you doing?! Let Lady Shen go!”

“Let her go?” Shu Yi responded in a chilling tone. “Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think I’m going to let this bargaining chip go so easily?”

“Shu Yi..” Zuo Shuming took another two steps forward and said anxiously. “I don’t know why you want to kill me, but Lady Shen is only an ordinary person. The feud between us has nothing to do with her!”

“Shu Yi.” Yu Luan lowered his voice. “Don’t carry on with our mistakes. Why are you getting an innocent life involved?”

“An innocent life?” Shu Yi lowered her gaze and laughed once again. “If she really is just an ordinary person, why would you all be so nervous? Don’t think I don’t know about her identity. She’s the master of that sword cultivator. You want to save her? Sure!” She narrowed her eyes and glared at Zuo Shuming, her gaze full of evil intent. “Kill him immediately, and I’ll consider!”

Everybody turned to look at Zuo Shuming. Zuo Shuming stiffened.

Shu Yi laughed even louder and turned to look at Chef, gloating. “Supremacy Yi Qing, think clearly about this. You have the true fire and you’re not afraid of demonic Qi, but you can’t say the same for her. If you help me to kill Zuo Shuming, and destroy all of Gui Yi Sect, I promise nothing will happen to your master!”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

F*cking retard!

Shen Ying, who was still being held by the neck, looked around at everyone. She scanned the anxious crowd, then took another bite of her fruit nonchalantly.

Speaking of which… Was she supposed to act along? After all, this girl did look like she was having the time of her life.
