Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 13 Let this moonlight illuminate all rivers and streams...

To him, the red figure was all too familiar; it was none other than Ma Xiaotao, who had entered the inner courtyard five years later.

Over the past five years, Ma Xiaotao has experienced an eruption of internal heat every so often.

At first, Yan Shaozhe sought out Xu Sanshi, who used the power of the Xuanming Water to help suppress her, but the effect was not ideal.

But ever since Chen Qiye's soul power level reached level 30 and he obtained his third soul ring, this arduous task was handed over to him.

The chilling aura emanating from the Fragmented Sword was enough to freeze everything, but with his current strength, he was far from being able to unleash that effect, so he could only suppress it temporarily.

To completely purify the evil fire, we'll have to wait until Chen Qiye reaches level 70 at the very least.

In almost an instant, Ma Xiaotao arrived at a location not far from Chen Qiye and Gu Yue.

Her eyes were an eerie dark red, and she was filled with an aura of madness, having completely lost her mind.

"That shouldn't be the case. Sister Tao's 'evil fire' should have been about to erupt some time ago, why did it happen early?"

Without time to think, Chen Qiye grabbed Gu Yue's hand and retreated rapidly, but the distance between the three of them continued to shrink.

Now Chen Qiye could only stand in front of the other party. It was already early morning, and there were many students in the outer courtyard who were up and training. If Ma Xiaotao rushed past, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although Chen Qiye was able to suppress all fire attributes because of his Fragmented Sword Martial Soul, the difference in soul power between the two sides was too great, and Chen Qiye alone could not stop Ma Xiaotao.

Previously, when the evil fire erupted, it was only with Yan Shaozhe's assistance that things were able to be done. But in the current situation, apart from Jingliu taking action, Chen Qiye really couldn't think of any other way.

However, once Jing Liu makes a move, it will inevitably damage his soul. Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Qiye will never allow Jing Liu to make a move.

"Why now? I don't have Huo Yuhao by my side!" In this extremely critical situation, Chen Qiye couldn't help but miss Huo Yuhao.

If Huo Yuhao were here, he could still save the day with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's "Tianmeng Finger," and he wouldn't be at a loss.

Unfortunately, Chen Qiye had no choice but to rely on himself.

Chen Qiye knew that the Sea God Pavilion must have noticed Ma Xiaotao's condition. He just needed to stall for a while and wait for their arrival.

However, Ma Xiaotao, as a Soul Emperor, was too fast to launch a counterattack and could only defend passively.

But this can't last much longer! Chen Qiye dodged an incoming fireball, his face covered in dust, and his white hair was also covered in grime.

With a wave of her hand, Ma Xiaotao summoned a fiery phoenix that transformed into a raging inferno.

Seeing the relentlessly pursuing fire phoenix, Chen Qiye knew he couldn't escape. He instinctively pulled Gu Yue into his arms.

The fire phoenix immediately swallowed Chen Qiye and Gu Yue whole, engulfing them in flames.

Chen Qiye, engulfed in flames, was dazed and confused. Waves of intense pain came over him, numbing his pain receptors.

At this moment, the light in Chen Qiye's hand suddenly exploded, and the force of the explosion directly tore apart the fire phoenix that had devoured Chen Qiye.

Chen Qiye was also blasted away and spun around several times.

"Chen Qiye, are you alright?"

At this moment, a black soul ring rose from the bottom of Chen Qiye's feet, and a sword formation appeared beneath his and Gu Yue's feet.

This is Chen Qiye's third soul ring skill, Sword Guardian of the Four Directions, a soul skill that leans towards support and defense. But what's monstrous is that it's a group attack skill that soul masters only have after level 50, yet Chen Qiye has it at the third ring.

Because Gu Yue was protected in Chen Qiye's arms and because of Chen Qiye's third soul skill, only a few pieces of her clothes were initially scorched.

Looking at Chen Qiye, who was in a terrible state, Gu Yue couldn't help but shed a tear.

"Don't worry, you won't die!"

But just after saying that, Chen Qiye suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing Chen Qiye swaying precariously, Gu Yue immediately supported him.

"Chen Qiye, your eyes."

When Gu Yue helped Chen Qiye up, she discovered that her eyes had turned blood red.

"Little sister, you might need to take a nap."

At this moment, Chen Qiye's voice was no longer that of a man, but rather a woman's voice that sounded remarkably like that of Bing Leng Juechen.

"What?"

Before Gu Yue could react, Chen Qiye knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck and placed her on the ground to the side.

"Seriously, don't cause me this kind of trouble, okay?"

An extremely cold aura suddenly burst forth from Chen Qiye's body, forcefully dispelling the surrounding scorching flames. Ma Xiaotao, her eyes bloodshot, let out a muffled groan and plummeted straight down from the sky.

At the same time, Chen Qiye's spirit rings, which were originally two purple and one black, turned into an incomparably brilliant blue-gold color, with dazzling white light shining, just like a bright moon rising from his feet.

Centered on Chen Qiye's body, an area within a hundred-meter radius instantly transformed into a world of ice and snow, even freezing the Sea God Lake in front of him.

Ma Xiaotao seemed to be trembling violently, and a terrifying pressure instantly swept over this space.

Chen Qiye slowly raised his right arm, and his right hand had somehow grasped the Fragmented Sword, which quickly froze into a huge ice sword.

The crisp sound rang out directly in the air:

"Let this moonlight illuminate all rivers and streams!"

Jing Liu's mad voice echoed throughout. If Chen Qiye could hear it, he would be extremely excited. This was a line that Chen Qiye knew all too well.

This is the line that Jingliu says when he unleashes his ultimate skill; Chen Qiye has heard it countless times. The damage is simply outrageous.

Jingliu is known as the Empress Dowager of Bengtie, and also has a nickname: Sister Wanchuan.

The name Wan Chuan Jie comes from the phrase "Let the moonlight shine on Wan Chuan".

.........

The blue-gold halo quickly faded, turning into two purple and one black halo that vanished instantly. All the surrounding chill disappeared in a flash, and the lake water swiftly returned to normal. The fragmented sword's red eyes, which had been radiating intense coldness, returned to normal, and its body went limp, collapsing to the ground.

The shores of Sea God Lake, which had been filled with terrifying soul power fluctuations just moments before, have now completely returned to calm.

On the shore, only Chen Qiye and Gu Yue lay unconscious on the ground.

In the distance, deep within Poseidon Lake, a dozen figures arrived at an astonishing speed, reaching the shore in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no, an outer court student has been injured. And, Chen Qiye too."

"What?"

Leading the group was an elderly man dressed in white. He suddenly took a step out of mid-air, as if traversing space, and arrived beside Chen Qiye and Gu Yue. With a wave of his hands, the two of them were instantly levitated.

"Thankfully, they just fainted. They weren't seriously injured. Teacher Li, please treat them quickly."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, another middle-aged man in white hurriedly stepped forward and took Chen Qiye and Gu Yue.

The spirit rings bloomed, and rings of green light quietly enveloped Chen Qiye and Gu Yue's bodies.

A miraculous scene unfolded: the withered plants around them were reviving at an astonishing speed. They could vaguely see that the vegetation along the shore of Sea God Lake was emitting a faint green light that flowed towards Chen Qiye and Gu Yue's bodies and slowly seeped into them.

"Xiao Tao is here."

…………

When Chen Qiye slowly woke up, he found himself lying on his bed in his room on Poseidon Island.

There was no one in the room, and Chen Qiye guessed that Yan Shaozhe had brought him back.

"I wonder how Gu Yue is doing?"

He tried to sit up straight, but found that his muscles ached all over, as if they were filled with lead.

"What did I do to deserve this? Life is just too hard."

The sorrow in Chen Qiye's heart was beyond words.

I caught a cold a little late today, sorry.
