Soon, his blood mist discovered a target with strange movements. This target kept running around in the dark and narrow alleys, as if avoiding something.

"Are you being hunted by several Body Tempering Realm cultivators?"

A portion of the blood mist gradually condensed and turned into a terrifying eyeball, staring coldly at Qi Lian Qing from behind.

Xue Jue almost instantly determined that the fleeing girl had used a disguise technique, and although the long sword on her back had been wrapped in black cloth, it still emitted a faint precious light.

There is no doubt that the fleeing girl in black is Qi Lian Qing!

When Qi Lian Qing realized something was wrong and looked back, his blood-red eyeballs immediately burst and dissipated into blood mist. Xue Jue, who was sitting cross-legged in the distance, opened his eyes and a very subtle arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He found his target.

"I found Qilian Qing, she is only a few miles away from us." He stood up and said to Sun Ying, a cultivator from Xuanyin Sect who was recuperating with his eyes closed, "Some cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm are chasing her. You and I will intercept those cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm first, and then go and capture Qilian Qing."

After hearing Xue Jue's words, Sun Ying opened his eyes with a hint of fatigue in his eyes. His condition had not yet fully recovered, and he probably could not exert only 80% of his strength.

"How many are there and how strong are they?"

"There are three that I can sense, all of whom are of ordinary strength. I can handle them alone." Xue Jue said confidently. His current strength is that of a half-step grandmaster, but the duration is limited. Without new blood replenishment, his realm will fall in half a day.

Therefore, he must hurry to seize the magic sword and then escape from Chiyue City. As long as he escapes from this city, he will be able to do whatever he wants.

"Since you can deal with the pursuers by yourself, why don't you deal with them while I deal with Qi Lian Qing. This can save some time." Sun Ying's eyes flashed.

Xue Jue frowned slightly. He knew that his colleague didn't want to take risks and just wanted to get benefits at the lowest cost.

If it were any other time, he would definitely refuse outright, otherwise this person would take advantage of him, but now, he thinks this idea is not bad.

The current primary goal is to resolve the current situation as quickly as possible, seize the treasure and leave the city, and it doesn't matter if I pay a little more price.

After all, this magic sword is related to his position as the Venerable. Faced with such a great temptation, he needs to have a broader vision and not be too fussy.

"Okay, then I will deal with the pursuers and you go to deal with Qilian Qing. But if I have dealt with the pursuers and you have not dealt with Qilian Qing, don't blame me for taking all your credit." Xue Jue said coldly.

“Heh, she’s just an ordinary Western Region Body Tempering Realm. Even if I’m injured, she won’t last more than a few moves in my hands!”

As a demon cultivator who was not from the Hehuan Valley, this Xuanyin Sect Body Tempering Realm cultivator was confident in his own strength. He might not be able to compare with those powerful geniuses from the Holy Land, but when it came to dealing with a non-genius from the Western Territory, wasn't it easy for him to do so?

Even if I were at the same level as her, I would still have a huge advantage, not to mention that my cultivation is much higher than hers now!

No matter how you look at it, the advantage is on him!

"I hope you won't let me down, let's go!"

……

Qi Lianqing was running for her life. She had already noticed that someone was coming from all directions, compressing her space for movement. If this continued, she would soon be forced into a desperate situation with nowhere to escape.

Moreover, she had a feeling that it was not only those people who were chasing her, but there was also a force hidden in the dark, ready to rush out and give her a fatal blow at any time.

The magic sword on her back was trembling slightly, and a warm current flowed from the sword into Qilian Qing's body, keeping her physical strength and mind in the most perfect state. Qilian Qing didn't know why this was happening, but she knew that this was a very good thing for her at the moment.

"There seems to be a very disgusting smell in the air..." As she rushed through an intersection, everything in front of her suddenly changed drastically. An extremely thick red fog appeared in front of her at some point, and endless malice was pouring out of the red fog.

She finally understood where the disgusting smell she had just smelled came from.

A black-haired man in a strange robe slowly walked out of the red fog. There was a strange smile on his face, and two black balls of light were spinning in his raised right hand.

At the same time, a huge noise came into Qilian Qing's ears, it seemed that a fierce battle broke out in the rear.

Were those people who had been chasing him attacked? Qi Lianqing took a deep breath and looked at the strange man who was blocking his way. "He is not here with good intentions."

"Hand over the sword and I will let you live." The strange man said lightly.

But Qi Lianqing did not hesitate at all. She had already determined the identity of this man. She had gone through so much trouble to bring out the family's magic sword, and she must not let it fall into the hands of these people.

She was willing to give the magic sword to Yao Chi because Yao Chi was a holy place of righteousness and would not disgrace the magic sword of the Qilian family.

But this man was obviously a demon. If he personally delivered the magic sword into the hands of a demon, Qilian Qing would never forgive himself.

"Then step over my dead body first!"

"Humph, you're looking for death!"

The man waved his hand, and the two black balls in his hand turned into two black lights and smashed towards Qi Lianqing.

boom! boom!

The two black balls hit Qi Lianqing one after another, causing a huge explosion. While the explosion blocked his vision, the man stretched out his hand and clenched it hard in the direction of Qi Lianqing.

The large amount of black gas produced by the explosion of the two black balls immediately shrank. If someone was in the black fog at this moment, he would definitely be crushed to pieces by the huge force.

But this time, the Xuanyin Sect's terrifying spiritual skills had no effect.

Along with two flashes of cold light, a big hole was cut in the shrinking black air. Qi Lian Qing, with a pale face, rushed out of the black air with two daggers in his hands and attacked the Xuanyin Sect cultivator directly.

"Tsk." With an unhappy snort, Sun Ying pointed at Qilian Qing from a distance, and a beam of extremely concentrated black light shot towards Qilian Qing's forehead.

Qi Lianqing subconsciously wanted to dodge, but her intuition told her that there was no possibility of dodging this attack, and she had to take it head-on.

In desperation, Qilian Qing gathered the spiritual energy around him, condensed it on the dagger in his hand, and then slashed at the black light.

Bang!

The light beam collided with the dagger, and the end result was that the dagger exploded into pieces, and Qi Lianqing was also smashed against the wall by the huge impact force.

"You are trying to block my attack with two daggers that are not even spiritual weapons. You are really overestimating your own abilities." Sun Ying laughed and pointed at Qi Lianqing who was struggling to stand up. "Curse of confusion!"

This time it was not a lethal spiritual skill, but for Qi Lianqing, this spiritual skill posed a greater threat to her.

These spiritual skills cannot be avoided and can only be resisted by using spiritual consciousness. The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the less impact it will receive. However, Qilian Qing... is not a cultivator with strong spiritual consciousness.

The moment she was hit by the black light, Qilian Qing felt her senses were confused. A large number of black light and shadows appeared in front of her eyes, chaotic and noisy noises rang in her ears, and a lot of problems occurred in her senses.

This is almost a decisive move in a battle.

She couldn't even tell where her opponent was now!

“Hahaha, your spiritual consciousness is so weak, how can you be my opponent? Xue Jue really underestimated me.” Seeing that his spiritual skills were so effective, Sun Ying laughed out loud, “It’s a pity that I still have a mission to complete, otherwise I would definitely torture you.”

"You're lucky. I'll give you a quick death this time."

As he spoke, he once again released the same black beam of light he had just released, and this time the target was still Qi Lian Qing's head.

But unlike just now, this time Qi Lian Qing had no way to block the attack.

"Die!"

A black beam of light shot out, and the Xuanyin Sect cultivator seemed to have seen the scene of Qi Lianqing's head being shattered, which made his expression become even more flamboyant.

The next moment, the wall beside him suddenly shattered, and a man from the Western Territory jumped out from the smoke and dust with a long knife in his hand, the blade pointing directly at his neck.

"What?!" Sun Ying was suddenly shocked. Why didn't he notice the approach of this man from the Western Territory?

And why did they come to attack him instead of supporting Qi Lian Qing?

He subconsciously thought that the man from the Western Territory who suddenly appeared was here to rescue Qilian Qing, but in fact, the man from the Western Territory who appeared was Qilian Xi.

Qilian Xi hoped that Qilian Qing would die here. Anyway, as long as he killed this evildoer, he would be able to take the magic sword back from Qilian Qing's body later.

Helping Qi Lianqing through the crisis was not something he would do.

But his sneak attack really saved Qilian Qing in a sense, because with his sudden attack, the Xuanyin Sect cultivator's mind was thrown into chaos, and the attack that was originally sure to succeed was actually missed.

The black beam hit Qi Lian Qing's shoulder, sending the girl flying backwards, but it missed her vital points, so she wouldn't die for a while.

"You bastard!" Sun Ying tried hard to resist Qilian Xi's fierce attack. He was not good at close combat, and now Qilian Xi, who was good at close combat, rushed to his side. For a moment, he felt a little overwhelmed.

To make matters worse, Qilian Xi was not the only one chasing him. While he was fighting with Sun Ying, one after another, pursuers from the Qilian family rushed out from the gap in the wall where he had just jumped out.

377. Accident

The situation suddenly became unfavorable to the Demonic Path. Looking at those Body Tempering Realm cultivators running out one by one, Sun Ying's expression suddenly became ferocious.

He realized that if these people rushed forward, he might be defeated!

Fortunately, Qi Lianxi did not issue an order to launch a siege. He turned his head to look at the injured Qi Lianqing, and decisively ordered his men to deal with Qi Lianqing first.

The divine sword is the most important. The demonic enemy in front of you is just a side quest. It would be best if you can solve it, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t. The city lord has already sent a large number of monks here anyway, and this demonic enemy can’t escape.

"This sword belongs to us. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!" Qi Lian Xi said to his opponent while launching a torrential attack.

He actually didn't want to fight a demon here. As long as the other party was willing to give up the magic sword and escape, he would not chase him.

Sun Ying did have a slight thought of retreating in his heart. After Qi Lian Xi appeared, his possibility of seizing the divine sword had been reduced to the lowest. Even if he risked his own life, he was afraid that he would not be able to kill all the Body Tempering Realm cultivators in front of him.

Moreover, he must retain most of his strength to escape, because the pursuit of Chiyuecheng and Yaochi is not something he can easily get rid of. If his condition is not good, he will definitely be caught up by Yaochi's pursuers on the way.

After all, Yao Chi will not be stingy when it comes to hunting down the undercover agents of the Demonic Path. The team sent out will definitely be led by a Grandmaster, and all team members are at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. There may even be a luxurious lineup of all Grandmasters.

"It's hard to say who will win or lose!" Sun Ying looked at the red fog in the distance. He still had a little hope that Xue Jue might have already dealt with his opponent. As long as Xue Jue arrived, the two of them would be able to easily deal with these people from the Western Territory.

When it comes to fighting, he admits that he is not as good as Xue Jue.

So, how is the progress of Xue Jue, for whom he had high hopes?

Well... I can only say that the situation is not very good.

His initial attack did achieve good results, and he successfully used his spiritual skills to severely injure a Body Tempering Realm cultivator as soon as they started fighting. However, after these Body Tempering Realm cultivators reacted and defended with all their might, his attacks became less effective.

Seeing the severely injured Body Tempering Realm cultivator being fed the elixir, Xue Jue suddenly felt a headache. The two uninjured Body Tempering Realm cultivators in front of him had no idea of ​​counterattacking at all, and were defending with all their might like two turtles.

And their defensive skills were indeed powerful. Xue Jue attacked it many times but failed to break the thick turtle shell.

"Demon! I advise you to surrender immediately. Our young lady is on her way here. Once she gets here, you're doomed!"

"Our young lady is a master at the Grandmaster level. She can deal with a small mosquito like you with just one finger!"

Hearing this, Xue Jue's face suddenly darkened. This was really bad news. There was actually a master behind these people!

For a moment, Xue Jue felt like retreating, but he quickly suppressed it.

It is difficult to kill all these Body Tempering Realm masters, but it is not a problem to hold them back. Moreover, even if a Grandmaster comes, he can burn the blood in this body and gain the strength to fight against the Grandmaster in a short time.

As long as he can grab the treasure and send it back to the North, it doesn't matter if this clone of his avatar dies!

"That piece of trash, he hasn't dealt with Qilian Qing yet?" Xue Jue muttered while gritting his teeth. His colleague should be quite capable. Why would it take so much effort to deal with Qilian Qing?

Before he had time to think about it, a heat wave suddenly came from the front and evaporated his blood mist in an instant.

The Grandmaster is here! Xue Jue's pupils shrank, and he quickly raised his head and looked forward.

There was only an extremely bright fire in his field of vision. Xue Jue did not hesitate and immediately stimulated the hidden power in his body. His aura soared and he actually broke through to the level of a grandmaster.

And it did save his life.

Just after he mobilized his strength to reach the Grandmaster realm, a woman with flames all over her body appeared in front of him as if by teleportation and punched him fiercely.

Bang!

A thin layer of blood condensed into a solid shell, blocking the attack for Xue Jue.

“It’s actually the middle stage of Grandmaster Realm…” Xue Jue took a deep breath. He knew that this clone of his was probably going to be doomed today.

If the opponent was just a newly promoted Grandmaster, he would still have the confidence to rely on his years of accumulated combat experience to defeat the opponent in a short period of time, but now his opponent is a mid-stage Grandmaster, and an opponent of this level is not something his clone can handle.

What he is most thankful for now is that in the city, the strength of the Grandmaster cultivators cannot be fully exerted, and they will be somewhat restricted when fighting.

But he had no such concerns and could attack with all his strength.

"This is the first time I've seen the Blood Sea Sect." Qian Handan waved his fists, one punch after another, completely suppressing Xue Jue.

She was wandering nearby, and when she noticed the fighting here, she rushed over and just happened to see Xue Jue attacking these Body Tempering Realm monks.

So she took decisive action and started a fierce battle with Xue Jue.

However, the strength of this Blood Sea Sect demon was beyond her expectations. His cultivation was obviously much lower than hers, and his aura was also abnormally weak, but he still managed to withstand her continuous fierce attacks.

Fire spiritual energy is one of the most aggressive spiritual energies among the five elements of spiritual energy. The blood spiritual energy of the Blood Sea Sect can actually block it. There is indeed some explanation.

But Qian Handan was not in a hurry, because she still had reinforcements that hadn't arrived yet. As long as she could hold on here for a while, Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan would arrive. Then the three of them would surround and beat up this magic master, and they would not lose no matter what.

Xue Jue tried his best to mobilize the blood in his body and caught Qian Handan's flaming fists one after another. At this moment, the two masters were like ordinary people without any spiritual power. They completely abandoned those gorgeous spiritual energy and fought with the simplest fists.

But if you underestimate their strength because of this outward appearance, you will be doomed. Every punch they throw has the power to seriously injure a cultivator at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. It is not visible now only because their power is extremely restrained and they are annihilated in the collision.

Qian Handan did this to minimize the noise of this battle. Her identity was indeed a bit problematic.

Xue Jue, on the other hand, wants to reduce his own consumption. He is now burning the essence and blood power in his body. His endurance is definitely not as good as that of a genuine master. He can only use this power carefully.

So in the next few confrontations, although Qian Handan suppressed Xue Jue, she did not gain any substantial advantage.

But Qian Handan was very happy to see this situation, because her helpers would arrive soon, and Xue Jue was a lonely man who would die in this place sooner or later.
