Desperate Escape

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

Following behind the fire dragon, Xuan Hao Zhenren watched Qin Yi charge into the dragon's form, his eyes filled with a ferocious smile.

"He's courting death."

He raised his right hand, which transformed into the shape of a Ghost Claw, and reached out to grab Qin Yi's head.

The difference in power was too great. If Qin Yi clashed with this fire dragon, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die; there was no need to consider it. This Ghost Claw had shattered his Sea of Souls, Xuan Hao Zhenren wanted to use this opportunity to find out the source of this person's Transformations. This person could actually transform into the exact same person as his Martial Grand-Uncle, even deceiving him. This kind of Technique Method was worth exploring through a soul search.

Amidst the raging flames and icy ice, a phantom image of a chess piece flashed by, then shattered without a trace with a "crack".

Qin Yi burst forth from the ice and fire dragon, his eyes sharp and unparalleled. His fierce Gang Qi, carrying the scorching heat of flames, slammed heavily into Xuan Hao Zhenren's Ghost Claw.

Completely misjudging the situation, Xuan Hao Zhenren had no time to change his move. His Ghost Claw were shattered, and he could barely muster any icy strength in his palm. The Wolf Tooth Club slammed into his hand, its sharp points suddenly flaring out wildly, leaving his palm riddled with holes.

The Gang Qi surged into his meridians without restraint. Even a dignified cultivator of the Radiant Sun couldn't withstand the rampage of the Gang Qi within his body. His tendons and flesh felt as if they were being twisted in agony. Xuan Hao Zhenren let out a painful groan and fell to the ground from the air. Qin Yi also spat out a mouthful of blood. Using the recoil from the attack, he somersaulted backward and leaped back.

Meng Qingying, who seemed to have fled far away, did not leave. She flicked her hand and created a shadow thread, which tied around his waist and dragged him back. Qin Yi Star Dragon heavily into her arms, and with a roar, he soared into the sky.

Xuan Hao Zhenren's expression was icy, and his vast and unparalleled divine power arrived in an instant, constructing a chaotic Tai Chi symbol on the path of the fleeing Star Dragon.

He thought he could easily block the path of two mere Cloud-Soaring cultivators, but Xuan Hao Zhenren never expected that the divine soul power would disappear without a trace, as if it had been swallowed up by something, without even a splash.

Aside from their strength, the most significant difference between Huiyang and Tengyun was their soul systems. Huiyang's soul was inexplicably dissolved without any explanation.

Star Dragon finally disappeared.

The Mountain Closure Formation is primarily effective against external forces. There is virtually no obstruction to exiting from the inside.

Xuan Hao Zhenren suppressed the raging internal Gang Qi within him and gave chase again. He was doomed if he didn't capture Meng Qingying; this matter couldn't be left unresolved.

He had just given chase when he suddenly found himself trapped in a Void Bagua, the chaotic array leaving him momentarily disoriented and unsure of where to escape.

"Tai Huang Jun! I'll fuck your grandma!"

"This is retribution for your Profound Yin Sect... That kind of Martial Grand-Uncle is not worth associating with."

On the dragon's back, Meng Qingying had completely fainted. Although Qin Yi had helped her remove the restrictions and alleviate her injuries, the aftereffects of being struck by Huiyang were still extremely unpleasant. She had barely managed to break through the restrictions, barely summon the dragon, and barely release shadow lines to support Qin Yi, but by now she was completely exhausted and could no longer hold on.

In front of Qin Yi, whom she trusted, she didn't need to force herself. Fainting was actually a form of self-protection for her body; otherwise, forcing herself to stay upright would only damage her health.

Qin Yi was also in bad shape at this time, suffering from severe internal injuries.

The chess fanatic gave me a pair of Discarded Piece as a lifesaver, but I used one of them within just a few days of leaving home.

As the chess fanatic predicted, the purpose of this Discarded Piece is not simply to take someone's place. It will automatically determine whether you are striving for greater value when it takes damage for you, rather than just feigning death to save your own life, or simply using it as a defensive skill to withstand damage.

Qin Yi must use this desperate, life-or-death approach to activate its effect.

This effect, of course, has huge flaws. The Discarded Piece resists the fatal wound, rather than completely absorbing the damage. It suffers the same internal injuries as before, and at this moment, its internal organs are burning, compounded by frostbite. Its Five Viscera are undergoing a double baptism, causing extreme pain.

No wonder that Discarded Piece pulled out two pieces at once; these aren't as effective as the strategist's substitution technique...

Fortunately, as a Bone Forging Warrior, his physique was quite resilient, and he hadn't completely lost his fighting ability. At this moment, he was able to take out some medicine and eat one, barely suppressing the rampant damage from the two forces within his body, before checking on Meng Qingying's condition.

Her condition wasn't good; her Sea of Consciousness was sealed. A sealed Sea of Consciousness meant that the Star Dragon and she had lost their connection. At this moment, she was simply flying aimlessly and without purpose, and it was impossible for her to fly indefinitely. Just like back in the Great Qian Palace, when she was standing guard above, that was her normal state.

So it could land anywhere at any time.

Since Qin Yi cannot control the Star Dragon, his fate in landing is entirely up to luck...

If they were to fall directly into some dangerous place, it would mean taking them to their deaths.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw the Star Dragon begin to descend.

Qin Yi looked down and saw only deep mountains and forests, with wild beasts darting about, but no Spiritual Qi energy. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; the lack of Spiritual Qi meant that no cultivators should be lingering there. This Star Dragon truly lived up to its Luck Dragon of the Demon Sect.

Before he could even exhale, he saw a large lake below Star Dragon fell straight into the water.

"You're supposed to be a dragon, can't you use your brain a little?!" Qin Yi didn't even have time to curse before he quickly picked up Meng Qingying and tried to rush out.

As a result of their injuries, they lost their footing and both fell into the lake.

Star Dragon stood on the water expressionlessly, his starry eyes looking at the two drenched chickens with a strange expression, as if to say, "I can clearly stand on the water, why did you jump in?"

Qin Yi floated up with Meng Qingying in his arms, his Sea of Consciousness filled with Liusu's mocking laughter, making him blush with embarrassment.

"So, is Grandpa Qin just lacking in intelligence, or is he intentionally going to bathe with me like a pair of lovebirds?"

"Neither! You stinky brat!" Qin Yi awkwardly carried the soaking wet Meng Qingying and swam towards the lake with one hand.

Holding it normally is a completely different feeling from holding it after it's soaked... it's almost like there's no barrier at all...

"You call me 'Stinky Stick' all the time, but when you need something, you're all all cute and cuddly." Liusu sneered, "There's plenty of people here, and I'm not helping you."

Qin Yi paused for a moment, then looked up and saw that there was indeed a cave by the lake. The entrance to the cave was heavily guarded, suggesting that someone lived there.

Is it a cave abode?

They descended from the sky and made quite a commotion when they landed in the water. The owner of this place must have noticed, right?

Sure enough, the cave entrance opened, and a monk in a cassock emerged. His gaze was initially drawn to the Star Dragon, showing some shock, followed by a hint of greed. Then, his eyes fell on the two figures in the water, he paused, and suddenly his expression turned ferocious. "Qin Yi!"

A question mark flashed through Qin Yi's mind: Who is this person? How does he recognize me?

He immediately realized, could it be a remnant of the Great Joy Temple? How could he be all alone in this mountain with no Spiritual Qi?

Far from being worried, he was actually delighted. It seemed the key to understanding the relationship between the Profound Yin Sect and the Great Joy Temple lay right there!
