The Promised Spectacle, Yet Became the Protagonist Again

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Hearing Minghe's rapid breathing made Qin Yi feel strange. He turned his head and glanced at her, only to see Minghe flushed face. Qin Yi said, "Are you injured? Take a rest. We still need your Law Treasure."

Minghe moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

Qin Yi didn't leave; instead, she waited there. She knew this was a huge risk, and she couldn't be ungrateful.

The Humble Origins was stronger than Qin Yi, but that fat rat had long since disappeared without a trace, while Qin Yi was still here, simply because he was thinking about whether he could help her.

Minghe knew perfectly well what was going on, but she still couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you leave?"

Qin Yi ran off, casually replying, "If I said I was going to watch the show, I'll watch it to the end."

This answer made Minghe want to laugh. She turned her head to look at the Ancient Corpse that was furiously chasing after her.

It has no consciousness, only a natural desire to devour life, but it has been aroused by this constant harm, which has stirred up its natural anger.

Minghe, enduring the tingling sensation in her body, said helplessly, "When you watch a play, you always get caught up in it... Maybe this time you'll be risking your life to watch it."

Qin Yi remained silent.

To say it's a matter of risking one's life to watch a show is an exaggeration; otherwise, Liu Liusu would be furious. Liusu remained silent because it also didn't see the danger as insurmountable. From a training perspective, taking some risks is only natural. What's the point of practicing martial arts if you're afraid to face even the slightest danger?

This Ancient Corpse was clearly a magic-based cultivator in life. After death, due to an lingering attachment, it was absorbed and condensed by the earth's veins, gradually evolving into an invulnerable and incredibly strong Yin Corpse. However, it clearly lacked the awareness to use its power wisely, simply unleashing its strength in a straightforward manner. Conversely, Qin Yi's martial arts were quite decent, and he could actually perform better in this environment. If he wanted to escape, it wouldn't be difficult for him.

But how could he run away and watch Minghe die?

If he were to help Minghe turn the tables, his own martial arts skills wouldn't be enough, since the gap in strength between him and his opponent was too great, and it couldn't be easily bridged by technique alone.

Having just received a blow from the Ancient Corpse, I truly understood what it meant to watch someone else carry a heavy load without feeling the strain. I originally thought that if Minghe's delicate body could withstand it, I might be able to crush this Ancient Corpse myself, but after actually handling it, I realized I was overthinking it.

This is the power formed from the condensation of the earth's veins. Although it hasn't truly reached the level of Drought Demon, its terrifying force is simply not something that can be directly confronted...

The reason Minghe could withstand it was because she never directly engaged in combat; it was always a battle of Law Treasure. After being neutralized by the Law Treasure, she only had a small amount of residual force left to react. If they had directly clashed, she would have been crushed to death long ago!

Facing the enemy head-on is a poor strategy. As long as we can get out, Minghe, who can cast spells and fully utilize the power of treasures, will not be afraid of two more Ancient Corpse!

Minghe, who was on Qin Yi's back, had gotten used to being close to him. She took a short breath and then quickly summoned all sorts of Law Treasure on Qin Yi's back, bombarding the Ancient Corpse.

In fact, Minghe was already on the verge of collapse.

Her internal injuries were severe, and they worsened with each exchange of blows.

Fortunately, the cave abode wasn't large, and the journey wasn't far; just delaying the Ancient Corpse for a moment would be enough...

If I remember correctly, we're almost there after leaving the Herb Garden through the stone gate!

But just then, Qin Yi braked suddenly, his footsteps leaving long trails on the ground.

The stone gate is closed...

"Bang!" Qin Yi swung his stick and smashed it down, causing the stone door to tremble and creating a shallow crater.

"Damn it, who the hell closed the door!"

Minghe sighed, "The Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect. The Humble Origins mentioned earlier that they have someone backing them; it's most likely them."

"I'll remember the Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect."

In that brief moment of delay, the Ancient Corpse was already behind them, its surging fist force slamming into Minghe on his back.

Minghe barely managed to raise her Daoist Scarf as a shield to block the attack, spitting out another mouthful of blood. The fierce force made Qin Yi lose his footing, staggering for a moment, but he quickly used the momentum to twist his waist, swinging his staff back to block the Ancient Corpse's second attack.

The immense force caused Qin Yi's tiger's mouth to split open, and he almost lost his grip on the Wolf Tooth Club.

Minghe summoned the small pagoda again, but just as it was about to suppress the evil spirits, it fell to the ground with a loud crash.

This is because he is severely injured and exhausted, and can no longer control the Law Treasure.

Qin Yi hooked the small tower with his foot and kicked it at the Ancient Corpse. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he quickly darted to the right and entered the side passage.

"You... run away yourself," Minghe said weakly. "Just draw his attention to me, and you can break down the stone door and escape."

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"What's the point of you dying with me? Once we're outside, joining forces with that Rat Demon, with our Law Power support, we might be able to stop this corpse. After all, it's already weakened a lot and isn't too difficult to deal with..."

"Who said I'd die?" As they were talking, they happened to pass another stone chamber. Qin Yi quickly threw Minghe inside. "Go inside and squat down. Without you as a burden, I might actually be able to fight him."

Minghe stumbled inside the door, staring silently at the pill that had flown in.

He can be an immortal when he goes out and a knight when he goes in. Whether Qin Yi can achieve this in the future or not, he has at least achieved it now.

Qin Yi stood by the door, holding his Wolf Tooth Club, watching the Ancient Corpse approach in an instant.

Stopping the fight was the only option; Minghe was already exhausted, and carrying her would only lead to being caught sooner or later, so it was better to put her down and have a proper fight.

Although it was dangerous, it wasn't without a chance of winning.

Because Minghe was right, this Ancient Corpse was no longer at its peak. Minghe's various Law Treasure treasures were no joke; many parts of its body were so rotten that the bones were visible, and its body was pitted and broken all over, clearly half-crippled and having lost its original ferocity.

Moreover, the Wolf Tooth Club can break through defenses, which means there's a chance to fight.

In real combat, it's not just about head-on collisions. If you can avoid being hit and instead smash its skull with a single blow, wouldn't that be a counterattack? If the difference in strength and speed is too great, skill alone cannot make up for it. However, as long as the difference isn't ridiculously large, there's always a chance.

Besides, he has Liusu, so it's never a one-on-one fight...

In the blink of an eye, the Ancient Corpse lunged forward, its rotting, withered hand flashing like lightning as it grabbed at Qin Yi's face.

Previously, Minghe, who had lost her Law Power, could not avoid such an attack at all and could only use her Law Treasure to block it. Qin Yi, on the other hand, simply turned his body slightly to avoid it, and at the same time, he sinisterly hooked his foot.

Let alone an unconscious Ancient Corpse, even a conscious human would probably be overwhelmed by two opponents with such drastically different appearances. The Ancient Corpse's feet were firmly hooked, and its strength was exhausted, so it uncontrollably plunged into the wall, half of its body embedded in it.

The Wolf Tooth Club came crashing down and slammed into the back of its head with a thud, smashing off a piece of its skull.

The Ancient Corpse was not dead. It swung backward with force, and an irresistible force surged forth, causing Qin Yi to fall headfirst into the stone wall behind him, his back feeling as if it were about to fall apart.

He didn't have time to cry out in pain; he immediately rolled over on the ground.

The Ancient Corpse's fists had already slammed into the spot where his head had been, creating two large holes in the wall. Qin Yi swept his staff back across the ground, striking the Ancient Corpse squarely in the shin.

With a "crack," the Ancient Corpse knelt down. Qin Yi was about to deliver a finishing blow when the Ancient Corpse suddenly raised its head and roared fiercely.

A violent Gang Qi rushed in, and Qin Yi only had time to raise his staff in a defensive gesture before he was thrown backward uncontrollably, spitting out a mouthful of blood that scattered like Blood Rain in the air.

But a fierce glint flashed in Qin Yi's eyes while he was in mid-air. Suddenly, he swung his arm and the Wolf Tooth Club flew out of his hand. Taking advantage of the Ancient Corpse's roar, he smashed it on its forehead with a "bang".

The roar of the corpses suddenly ceased.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Qin Yi's back hit the wall, crashing through it with a loud "crash," and he fell headfirst into it.

Minghe sat cross-legged inside, meditating to heal her injuries, watching helplessly as Qin Yi flew towards her. At this moment, how could she possibly dodge?

In a split second, Qin Yi had already thrown himself into her arms, causing her to roll around in a ball.
