The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"I have no interest in fighting you."

Kiana said, but Qianjie exclaimed meaningfully, "That's not necessarily true!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his leg and charged towards Kiana, and a raging fire suddenly appeared on his right foot.

"Oh no! My worst fears have come true..."

Upon seeing this, Mei couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

But she wasn't one to be trifled with either.

He raised his leg to meet it, and the two clashed instantly.

"Awooooo!!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

In an instant, the attacks from both sides erupted with deafening explosions, and powerful energy fluctuations raged through the air.

The battle between Kiana and Qianjie naturally stirred up layers of raging winds in the air.

As the attacker, Qianjie continued to move forward at an astonishing speed, covering a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye and arriving beside Kiana.

Thousand Tribulations was much faster than Kiana had anticipated, appearing behind her without her even noticing.

"Damn you, Qianjie, are you insane? If you're determined to die, I don't mind giving you a hand!"

Kiana quickly turned around and shouted angrily.

"A dead man? Hahaha, then let me see if you really have the ability to stop me, don't you think?"

Qianjie laughed.

After saying that, he suddenly reached out and, before Kiana could react, raised his other hand, clenched his fist, and smashed it down on Kiana's head.

At this very moment...

"Scatter the cherry blossoms!"

As that clear, melodious voice rang out, a figure familiar to all the heroes present, including Kiana and her group, entered the battlefield wielding a knife.

She had long, pink hair, bright eyes, and a delicate face, but that did nothing to diminish the chilling aura emanating from the katana.

"Yae Sakura, requesting permission to battle!"

After being pulled into this world by Gretsch, Sakura intervened in the battle between the two sides without much hesitation.

"Sakura? You..."

Looking at the girl holding a knife and blocking his way, Qianjie hesitated, which was uncharacteristic of him.

However, things can change in an instant on the battlefield.

Everyone understands this principle.

As Sakura unleashed several dimensional slashes with her cold blades, Senju let out a cold snort and hastily prepared to fight.

.........

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed through the empty, dark town, sounding particularly eerie in the quiet night.

At this moment, the other four stepped in to help Kiana and Sakura withstand the Thousand Calamities.

While fighting, Kiana muttered, "This guy, he's really something else when he goes crazy!"

As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Once Qianjie gets going, it becomes a fighting machine that can't be stopped.

With his powerful physique and scorching flames.

Getting rid of him will inevitably require a lot of effort.

Moreover, Kiana has no intention of dealing with Thousand Calamities, does she?

"Alicia, come quickly and try to persuade Qianjie!"

Kiana shouted at Alicia.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Upon hearing this, Alicia rushed over immediately.

"Oh, Qianjie, don't get so agitated. You'll hurt yourself doing this. I know you're upset, but don't gamble with your life."

Alicia looked like she was trying to persuade her.

"Alicia? Who do you think you are, lecturing me at a time like this?"

He disdained it.

Strangely enough, he didn't seem to have the slightest opinion about Alicia's betrayal.

It seems that whether she is Yingjie or not is irrelevant...

"Qianjie, don't say that. Actually, I care about you a lot and hope you can cheer up."

Upon hearing this, Qianjie fell silent, but still did not agree, as if he was considering something.

Seeing this, Kiana breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Thousand Calamities, Alicia is right. You might end up killing yourself. It's not worth it. Is it what you want to just vanish like this before you even have a chance to fight a stronger Herrscher?"

Mei also spoke up.

"Humph..."

Perhaps it was because they felt that what the two said made sense.

Or perhaps it was simply because of Alicia's sake.

Or perhaps, Qianjie simply realized that it was impossible to win if they continued fighting?

In short, Qianjie put away the fire in his hand, crossed his arms, and looked at Kiana and the others.

His tall stature and masked appearance exuded a sense of oppression simply by standing there.

"My affairs are none of your business!"

Qianjie looked at Kiana and the others with arrogance.

That's not entirely untrue.

He has the ability, and he is qualified.

Going it alone is indeed a viable option.

But this is not what Kiana and the others wanted to see.

At least for now, Kiana still wants to find out the whereabouts of Mebius and the others from him.

Kiana, seeing that the guy had finally quieted down, asked, "Chikage, what brings you here? You can't just be here to spar with me and Mei, can you?"

"Hmph! What a joke! I came here to settle accounts with that woman!"

Qian Jie swung his flaming fist and answered in a serious tone.

Everyone was stunned when they heard about the woman.

A moment later, Kiana and Mei realized who the woman Chikara had mentioned was.

Is it Aponia?

"So, you're here to settle scores with Aponia?"

"Yes, there are still some things that need to be settled between this woman and me. And since coming into this world, I seem to be free..."

Qianjie twisted his neck and answered.

Hearing his words, Kiana pondered for a moment, realizing that she and Senju were not...

There was no conflict.

So, it's possible to cooperate?

"Thousand Tribulations, since you're looking for Aponia, why don't we join forces?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Qianjie raised his head in surprise and asked, "Herrscher, are you saying that we should join forces to capture that woman?"

Chapter Eleven: The Black Talisman declares Thousand Tribulations utterly weak.

Although the scenario is somewhat far-fetched, Kiana's goal is to eliminate obstacles in her path.

The Thousand Tribulations, on the other hand, were for settling accounts.

Although their starting points were different, their goals were basically the same, and besides, Qianjie himself was a member of Yingjie's group.

Kiana's side also had Alicia, who understood Yingjie best, present, so Qianjie naturally joined in.

"We'll each go our own way. Once you find that woman, remember to leave her for me. And also! Don't disturb my hunt."

Qianjie continued speaking in a domineering manner.

In terms of sheer presence, he probably had the most imposing aura among Kiana's group.

It's also the one that attracts the most hatred...

Kiana initially didn't care, but seeing Qianjie's arrogant attitude, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

"He was so difficult to get along with, no matter what period he was in."

Kiana's reaction can be described as reflecting the feelings of the team members.

Of course, while everyone is quite refined and easy-going, it doesn't mean that everyone in the team can maintain that.

"Don't disturb your hunt? Ha, what a joke!"

Black Talisman suffered from Qian Jie's targeting from the very beginning of the battle.

Although she didn't know that Qianjie had been focusing his attacks on Kiana from beginning to end.

What she endured was only a portion of the pressure.

However, Hei Fu did suffer in the battle against Qian Jie, so she felt that Qian Jie was targeting her.

Black Talisman arrogantly provoked, "That's what I should be saying. No one knows hunting better than me!"

"Oh? Herrscher, what do you mean by that?"
