C77 (1/2)

”Quick, split up!”

The moment Yue Qingsi's words fell, I immediately retreated. The distance between the two of us was maintained at a distance of over a hundred feet. However, since we were separated, Song Qianxi could attack us one by one.

Since Yue Qingsi was weak, she had naturally become his first target to deal with. Moreover, she had already suffered some injuries.

I looked at Yue Qingsi who was standing on either side of me, and tried to help. However, the Earth Spirit Barrier was still hanging over my head, as if it would be deducted the moment I stopped moving, and even the Windraiser Sword Style was useless.

In just a moment, Yue Qingxi was already panting heavily. Seeing that she was about to be killed with a single palm, I did not care about anything else. I rushed forward and 'peng' sound rang out as I received Song Qianxi's palm.

Song Qianxi was truly worthy of being a person who had entered the fake world for decades. With a single palm strike, I was sent flying backward. My right arm felt an abnormal numbness.

At this moment, the Earthly Spirit Barrier over my head suddenly enlarged to a diameter of two zhang. ”Bang!” Yue Qing and I were instantly pinned to the ground.

”Didn't I tell you to separate?” Although Yue Qingsi scolded him with her words, she did not seem to be angry at him.

I suppressed a mouthful of blood and bitterly smiled. ”If I don't come, you'll be dead.”

Yue Qing's eyes flashed with a trace of emotion, but it was quickly replaced by worry.

”Hmph. Once you enter my Earth Spirit Barrier, you can forget about coming out.”

I stomped on the ground and discovered that the ground was abnormally solid. It seemed that it must have been caused by the Earth Spirit Barrier. I walked to the edge of the Earth Spirit Barrier and carefully touched it with my hand.

”I will kill you!” The corners of my mouth curled in derision as I stared at him.

Song Qianxi grinned fiendishly and walked over step by step. However, she stopped three feet away from me.

I was disappointed. If I took two more steps forward, I might be able to kill him. Because my soul was shaken by the palm of my fate soul, it couldn't leave it's body, so the distance between my palm and his was less than 10 feet.

I turned around and said in a low voice, ”Think of a way to get him to take a few steps forward. Quickly!”

When Yue Qingsi heard this, her expression changed slightly. However, she quickly took out a jade slip and sternly said, ”Hmph, a traitor of the Gui Yun Sect. You dare to kill me. Do you recognize what this is?”

The jade slip was only two fingers wide and about an inch long. The words on it were also very small, and with this Earth Spirit Barrier, it was hard to see clearly from the outside.

When Song Qianxi saw this jade slip, her expression changed. She took half a step forward and was startled. She did not step forward but instead coldly said, ”Humph, putting on a show. Even if you call the Thousand Illusionary Sect's old ghost over, I am not afraid!”

When Yue Qingsi saw that Song Qianxi did not step forward, she turned her head and looked at me with slight helplessness.

Song Qianxi coldly snorted as she sat cross-legged in front of us, no longer paying any attention to us.

What do you mean? I am a little surprised, you want to trap us and then ignore us?

Yue Qingsi saw my doubt and explained, ”He's a traitor to the Gui Yun Sect and stole our sect's precious earth barrier, but he doesn't know how to use it. All these years, other than the magical treasures' secret abilities to conceal his cultivation, he's only figured out this much.

”So the reason why he hid his cultivation level is because of this earth spirit barrier. But, is he planning on killing us just like that?”

Shaking her head, Yue Qingsi frowned and said, ”Haven't you discovered that in this Earth Spiritual Barrier, our spiritual energy has been rapidly leaking and being absorbed by it. If this goes on, within three days our spiritual energy will be completely absorbed.

”Oh, so that's how it is. That's right, what was that jade slip you took out just now? Why did his expression change when he saw it?”

”That's only an ordinary jade slip, it's just to scare him so he can come forward. He thinks that I'm using a summoning talisman, and after I shatter it, my Thousand Mirage Faction's Sovereign will know that I've encountered a life or death crisis and will also be able to sense my position. It's a pity that he hasn't been duped.”

”No wonder.” Summoning Talisman, it seems that the stone that Chengtian gave me is similar to this effect.

”Oh right, why did you make him come forward?”

I smiled. ”It's a secret.”

”Hmph. If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Do you have any ideas?”

Upon hearing Yue Qingsi's question, I helplessly replied, ”There's no other way. If he doesn't come, there's nothing I can do. Let's rest for a bit. We'll discuss this further after you've recovered from your injuries.”

Yue Qing had no other choice but to nod her head and consume a medicinal pill before she sat cross-legged and recuperated. I had used up most of my spiritual power just to recuperate from my consecutive blows with Windraiser. At the same time, I also swallowed some medicinal pills to recover.

Half a day had passed and it was already night. Yue Qing's hair was almost fully healed, but being trapped within this earth spirit barrier, her spirit energy was exhausted and she was somewhat distracted. Outside, Song Qianxi was currently cultivating with her legs crossed.

Although I am not very clear about what is going on through this Earthly Spirit Barrier, I could see that when Song Qianxi trained, traces of earthy yellow aura seemed to seep out from the ground within dozens of feet of him and was absorbed by him.

When Yue Qingsi saw how entranced I was, she couldn't help but pat me. ”What's so good about cultivating? Could it be that you've thought of a way?”

”I don't have a solution, but why would he have such a strange phenomenon when he's practising martial arts?”

”Phenomenon?” You don't have a teacher? ”

”Nope.”

Seeing me shake my head and say no, Yue Qingsi was somewhat surprised, ”You don't have any teachers, but you can actually cultivate to the False Heaven Stage. What kind of monster are you?”

”Monster?” I was stunned before I replied smilingly, ”I did peek into the cultivation method of a sect.”

”No wonder. However, without a sect, there is no one to teach you. It makes sense that you don't know this. That earthy yellow aura is not an abnormal sign, but the earth elemental energy that Song Qianxi absorbed. ”

”Earth elemental energy?”

”That's right, what he has comprehended is earth essence. In order to advance his cultivation, besides absorbing essence energy, he will have to slowly absorb earth essence energy. Once the elixir has been completely converted into elixir, he will have reached the Heavenly Realm.”
