Chapter 1104: Finally sounding him ou (1/2)

Han Yunxi’s provoking statement made Bai Yanqing laugh out loud!

“This old man, afraid of you?” he grinned as he came closer.

Han Yunxi shielded Ning Jing behind her as she probed. “Where’s Long Feiye?”

“Lass, just how much do you like Long Feiye?” Bai Yanqing stopped to ask in earnest.

“That’s none of your business. Where is he? Just what do you want?” Faced with Bai Yanqing, Han Yunxi really wanted to calm down and probe him for intel, but it was impossible!

“Of course he’s perfectly fine. After all, he’s still my son-in-law, so how could I hurt him? Don’t you worry, I won’t touch a hair on his head,” Bai Yanqing looked full of goodwill.

Han Yunxi’s eyes flickered with a complicated expression as she fell silent. With an madman like Bai Yanqing to deal with, all her questions and probing would be useless. She even threatened to castrate him but he still held back and stayed hidden. Any more words would be a waste of time.

The only choice was to wait and see what he’d say instead.

Seeing her reaction, Bai Yanqing grew curious. “What, are you unhappy?”

Han Yunxi ignored her while continuing to protect Ning Jing. She silently dwelled on how to fight this man long enough to make a racket to attract the others.

In a maze like this, anyone besides an expert in Qimen Dunjia formations would be hard pressed to get their sense of direction right. Everything was designed to trick the senses. However, hearing and smell wouldn’t change. As long as she made a loud enough commotion to attract the others’ attention, Long Feiye’s group would have a chance to find her.

Unlike her past opponents, Bai Yanqing remained calm and shrewd. He didn’t volunteer much information just because Han Yunxi was ignoring him. Remaining mute, he approached her again with that kindly, yet threatening, face. Han Yunxi kept backing away until she finally pushed Ning Jing behind her and unsheathed her sword. Faced with Bai Yanqing’s undying body, any weapon was simply a futile effort. She had drawn her sword simply to lure Long Feiye and the rest here.

“Be careful. Don’t worry about me,” Ning Jing murmured.

“Mm.” So speaking, Han Yunxi leaped to the air with both hands on her sword. She gathered her strength and internal energy, combined it with her Phoenix power, and concentrated it all on her blade.

This was a sword she’d borrowed off a shadow guard, not some great treasure, and it almost couldn’t bear her strength. Fortunately, the sword didn’t snap but simply exploded with mighty sword qi. Gu Beiyue and Gu Qishao might not be able to sense it, but a swordsman like Long Feiye would definitely be able to tell if she was nearby.

Han Yunxi looked about to strike, but held steady. Bai Yanqing looked at her with amusement and chuckled. “Yunxi, if you lure your husband here and make father unhappy enough to kill him, don’t regret it!”

At that, Han Yunxi slashed down with her weapon. “You won’t! Bai Yanqing, do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? You only want to stop our dual cultivation and have me cross swords with him! I’m telling you now, I won’t raise my sword against Long Feiye even if I die!”

She didn’t know why Bai Yanqing was doing this, much less his true motives! But she was certain on this one point!

Bai Yanqing stood and took the full brunt of her attack. Although he was injured, it didn’t take his life. At the same time, Long Feiye had already picked up on the sword qi from their neck of the woods. Once Han Yunxi attacked, he knew her location.

“Right side, go!” he said coldly, too much in a hurry to bother with the other two. Since Han Yunxi was already attacking, she must have ran into Bai Yanqing!

Gu Beiyue caught up from behind and soon surpassed Long Feiye, but remained close in case the situation shifted. Still, he quickly stopped when he saw all the trees growing together in front of them with no crack in sight. This was a wall of pure trees!

Long Feiye had long noticed as well. He took to the skies, but no matter how high he flew in this maze, all he saw was the same wall of black! For now, he was calm enough to land back down and tell Gu Beiyue, “We’ll wait in place…”
