Chapter 878
Qin Qi pondered to himself, "Can these merit points be exchanged for anything?"
"More or less!" Yuan Tianqing took a deep breath, "The function of exchanging merit points was originally intended to encourage cultivators to accumulate battle accomplishments more actively!"
"Naturally, the treasures available for exchange are all-encompassing, countless indeed!"
Qin Qi was truly tempted by such words.
If that’s the case, accumulating more merit points becomes a necessary task.
Thinking of this, Qin Qi straight up asked, "How many merit points can be exchanged for defeating one of these evil demons?"
"Depends on the size of the tusks!"
Yuan Tianqing chuckled, "These evil demons also vary in strength."
"Those with larger tusks can be exchanged for up to a hundred merit points, while smaller tusks can be exchanged for around thirty points!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qi immediately felt motivated, "There’s no need for rest, I still have some energy left, and can lend a helping hand in the upcoming battle!"
"Oh? Little friend Qin Qi, you can still fight?" Yuan Tianqing was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, I can still contribute some effort!"
After speaking, Qin Qi wasted no time in turning away, heading straight for the area below the city wall.
Yuan Tianqing and Bai Qingrou were extremely surprised.
Ming Lan was even more dumbfounded.
After all, he had just completed the flag-planting mission, and the process was extremely dangerous.
Qin Qi had already defeated so many evil demons, yet he still had strength left.
However, the surprises were just beginning.
Soon, something even more astonishing to Bai Qingrou and Yuan Tianqing occurred.
Because Qin Qi rushed to the area below the city, straight into the group of evil demons, with his mana fully activated, as if entering an uninhabited realm.
Originally without the array’s support, Qin Qi’s abilities were already uniquely restraining these evil demons.
With the addition of the array’s support, the evil demons approaching him were almost immediately annihilated by the Celestial Spirit True Qi, leaving only the massive tusks collected by him.
In just a brief moment.
The morale of the human cultivators on the entire battlefield soared.
"This kid, just in this short time, has killed over a dozen evil demons..."
"Moreover, with so many evil demons around, it seems they can’t even do anything to him!" Yuan Tianqing marveled.
Bai Qingrou similarly widened her beautiful eyes, "This kid, single-handedly, lifted the spirits of the entire battlefield."
"At this rate, we will surely win this battle!"
However, Qin Qi’s abilities brought deep jealousy and anger in the eyes of Bai Qingju.
"This guy!"
He clenched his fists.
The exotic fox failed to kill Qin Qi, and he was already furious.
Now, Qin Qi’s glory completely overshadowed him.
It’s important to know that he is Bai Qingrou’s apprentice, and also a top-ranked genius of Tianlan Sect.
In Tianqing City, his status is akin to the proud son of heaven, attracting great attention.
But since Qin Qi arrived, he repeatedly suffered setbacks!
Now, the opponent charged into the battlefield, drawing all eyes, even his master!
This made him enraged and humiliated.
"A mere Tier Five Foundation Establishment kid dares to steal my thunder!"
"It’s only because of relying on the array that he can charge so recklessly. Humph, if he can do it, so can I!"
Baiqing Residence thought of this and shouted, "Master, I will also go down to help!"
Bai Qingrou surely understood her apprentice, "Qingju, don’t act impulsively."
However, Bai Qingju couldn’t hear anything at this point, and before Bai Qingrou could stop him, his figure had already rushed outside the city.
Bai Qingrou frowned, her expression particularly unpleasant.
Yuan Tianqing comforted, "Senior sister, no need to worry. Qingju’s skills are top-tier within the Tianlan Sect. Plus, with the treasures you gave him and the city defense array’s support, those evil demons can’t do anything to him!"
Though he said that, Bai Qingrou felt a bad premonition.
She watched Bai Qingju intently.
Knowing full well it was because of Qin Qi that Bai Qingju charged down.
Everything was just as she thought.
Seeing Qin Qi in the battlefield to enter an uninhabited realm.
Bai Qingju also wanted to emulate him, charging directly into the crowd of evil demons, battling several demons!
To be fair, Bai Qingju’s strength was still considerable.
He practiced an Earth Element Technique, which while maintaining mana, surrounded his body with a rapidly spinning layer of earth cones.
This earth cone could expand or contract at will, both offensive and defensive, making it difficult for the evil demons to approach him.
It was seemingly because of this that he became even more confident, charging deeper, without noticing his own predicament!
When he saw himself pushing even deeper than Qin Qi!
He smirked, sneering, "Qin Qi is no more than this!"
Seeing this scene, Bai Qingrou bit her lips lightly, "Oh no, this is bad!"
"What is it?" Yuan Tianqing was puzzled.
Bai Qingrou took a deep breath, "Qingju is in danger!"
Yuan Tianqing also noticed Bai Qingju was now far into the depths of the evil demons’ formation.
He shook his head, "These evil demons are very intelligent. Although Qin Qi charged deep, he’s fighting a guerrilla battle. Almost never staying in one place for too long!"
"This way, he can avoid being surrounded by the demons!"
"But this kid Qingju..."
It was visible to the naked eye, he was completely surrounded by the evil demons, unable to break free.
And most crucially, a large number of demons had focused on him, continually encircling him.
In this situation, Bai Qingju couldn’t escape and would soon become a meal for these demons!
Bai Qingju now realized something was wrong, "Wh-what’s going on? Why are all these demons surrounding me?"
"No, something’s wrong..."
When he realized and tried to break through, it was already too late!
Bai Qingrou was equally anxious, "No, if this continues, Qingju will be in danger, I must go help him!"
Yuan Tianqing immediately intervened, "Senior sister, you absolutely mustn’t. The Demon Kings are yet to act, but they are watching keenly from the shadows!"
"Currently, the situation is very favorable for us in Tianqing City."
"Plus, with Qin Qi’s rampage among the demons. Their failure is just a matter of time."
"If you and I show any weakness now, and the Demon Kings seize the opportunity, we’ll lose everything. At that time, it won’t just be Qingju in danger!"
Bai Qingrou was as anxious as a hot-footed ant.
But she knew full well that Yuan Tianqing spoke the truth!
The battlefield situation changes in an instant.
It seems the contest is between the cultivators below and the demons.
In reality, it’s their competition with the Demon Kings in the shadows!
Don’t be fooled by their absence, they are actually always watching from the shadows.
Waiting for an imbalance in the battle!
No matter how much she loved Bai Qingju, she couldn’t risk the downfall of the entire city to save him!
