Chapter 927:
Everything was exactly as Qin Qi expected.
After Baiqing Residence’s scheme was exposed, sweat dripped down his face.
Because, Qin Qi was right.
As a spiritual treasure, this Golden Cutting Wheel consumed an unbearably amount of mana within him, and in just a moment, about seventy to eighty percent of his mana had already been expended.
"I don’t believe it. My mana consumption is indeed high, but just how low can the mana consumption be for your treasure that can resist the Golden Cutting Wheel!"
Baiqing Residence secretly roared in his heart.
He knew that at this point, he had no retreat.
He must exhaust all his resources in a direct confrontation with Qin Qi!
At the same time, the battle between Qin Qi and Baiqing Residence was attracting more and more attention.
Upon seeing that Qin Qi was actually evenly matched with Baiqing Residence, every spectator widened their eyes.
"Qin Qi actually started a fight with Baiqing Residence."
"Don’t you know? Baiqing Residence and Qin Qi’s rivalry is not small, but can Qin Qi actually hold his own against Baiqing Residence?"
"A Tier Six Foundation Establishment can actually compete evenly with Baiqing Residence at the peak of Foundation Establishment?"
Surprise and shock loitered in everyone’s hearts.
Yet, this shock and surprise were only just beginning.
As time passed, the contest between Qin Qi and Baiqing Residence had evidently reached a fever pitch.
However, the spectators soon noticed something terrifying.
Baiqing Residence’s face, which was visible to the naked eye, gradually became pale, sweat flowed profusely, and his whole body exhibited signs of exhaustion.
Turning to Qin Qi, he remained composed and calm, showing not even the slightest sign of depletion, and instead appeared at ease.
"This Pure Yang Sword Box certainly consumes a great amount of mana. But fortunately, the Source Celestial Scripture and Celestial Spirit True Qi have an immense mana boost!" Qin Qi said leisurely, "Even if my cultivation is only at Tier Six of Foundation Establishment, compared to the mana at the peak of Foundation Establishment, it’s not lacking!"
And obviously, no matter how one looked at it, the depletion caused by his spiritual treasure was far greater than that of his Pure Yang Sword Box.
"How could it be possible, is it that Brother Bai is about to succumb first?"
Many people saw the signs.
Just as someone uttered this.
Baiqing Residence, indeed as others had said, shuddered all over, then retracted the Golden Cutting Wheel fiercely.
Subsequently, his face turned pale as he rapidly retreated several steps.
Immediately, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth, causing him to fall to his knee, unable to support himself.
"The victor, has been decided..."
"Did Brother Bai lose?"
Everyone’s pupils contracted without a doubt.
Baiqing Residence bit his teeth tightly, looking extremely grim.
However, things were evidently far from over.
Only seeing Qin Qi raise his hand, the twelve flying swords within the Pure Yang Sword Box instantly shot toward Baiqing Residence.
"What’s he doing?"
"Wait, not content with beating Brother Bai, does he still want to hurt him?"
"Does this guy not know Brother Bai is the apprentice of the Holy Maiden!"
Evidently, Baiqing Residence did not expect Qin Qi to actually dare to strike.
He laughed grimly, "Qin Qi, this is Tianqing City, I refuse to believe you truly dare to attack me!"
But Qin Qi completely ignored him, commanding the twelve flying swords with blistering speed!
"You!!" Baiqing Residence’s eyes widened.
Splatter!
Blood gushed!
Baiqing Residence’s face, arm, and leg were all severed with numerous blood cuts!
Qin Qi with hands behind his back.
He was wary of Bai Qingrou.
But if one doesn’t offend me, I won’t offend them!
Today, he intended to use Baiqing Residence to establish his prestige!
And let everyone know who Zuo Qingyue truly belonged to!
However, although he left Baiqing Residence alive, he did not expect the other party would laugh arrogantly, "Hahaha, Qin Qi, I knew you wouldn’t dare move against me!"
"Rest assured, I’ll remember this grudge in my heart, and properly settle it with you later!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qi’s expression suddenly sank.
"Seems, I was far too merciful!"
With a wave of his hand, he commanded the twelve Pure Yang Flying Swords straight towards Baiqing Residence’s limbs.
Seeing the direction of the swords and the killing intent spreading in Qin Qi’s eyes, Baiqing Residence was instantly dumbfounded.
Everyone perceived that Qin Qi truly harbored killing intent, and this time, even if he didn’t eradicate Baiqing Residence, he feared to cripple the other.
"Qin Qi, don’t!" Zuo Qingyue hastily intervened.
Baiqing Residence also panicked, "Qin Qi, you, you mustn’t!"
Yet Qin Qi no longer had a notion of mercy, and the flying swords were about to pierce through.
At this critical moment!
Suddenly, a powerful surge of mana came crashing down from the sky.
Accompanied by fluctuations in this mana wave, the twelve Pure Yang Flying Swords, which were already near Baiqing Residence, seemed to hit a brutal force, instantly repelled.
Seeing this scene, Baiqing Residence was ecstatic and cried out, "Master!"
Just as he expected!
In the sky, a white-clothed silhouette descended like a celestial maiden.
She kept her hands behind her back, her eyes cold as frost, "Qin Qi, what do you plan to do? Are you attempting to harm your own kin within Tianqing City?"
"Moreover, you dare to strike my apprentice, do you have no regard for me, the Holy Maiden, or the greater cause of human cultivators?"
Seeing his master arrive, Baiqing Residence also feigned innocence, "Master, you saw it yourself just now. This guy wants to cripple me!"
"With the evil demon war approaching, not only does he fail to understand mutual cooperation and unity, he actually intends to harm others within Tianqing City!"
"Master, you must stand up for me!"
At the last moment, Baiqing Residence was tearfully aggrieved.
Bai Qingrou watched Qin Qi, "Qin Qi, do you have anything to say?"
Qin Qi scoffed, "Holy Maiden, surely you won’t just believe whatever Baiqing Residence says. Are the eyes of everyone else here blind?"
"Baiqing Residence has provoked me repeatedly, and I’ve always endured, Senior Sister Zuo, and even the patrol squad members have seen it clearly!"
"Even so, Baiqing Residence continued to be aggressive, and the one who struck first, taking out the Spirit Treasure Golden Cutting Wheel with the intention to kill me, was him!"
"What, is it the Holy Maiden’s stance that Baiqing Residence can attack me in broad daylight, but I, Qin Qi, can’t fight back?"
Bai Qingrou’s pretty face darkened.
She was more aware than anyone of the character of her own apprentice.
She glanced around and found everyone had their heads lowered.
Seeing this, she understood what had happened, and her expression immediately turned grim.
Yet, she wouldn’t admit it on the surface, "This matter, isn’t contingent on your words alone. Naturally, I won’t listen to just one side of the story. For now, let’s put it aside, and later, I’ll investigate clearly!"
Having said that, she intended to turn and leave with Baiqing Residence.
Qin Qi laughed coldly.
Bai Qingrou obviously saw the situation was unfavorable, planning to suppress the matter.
As for investigating later? A pleasant lie, how could there be any subsequent investigation!
