Chapter 873
This made her almost unable to believe her eyes, thinking she might be experiencing some kind of illusion.
"Qin Qi, how, how did he do it!"
Ming Lan couldn’t help but swallow.
A ridiculous thought suddenly sprouted in her heart.
Qin Qi, could he possibly achieve defeating these ten-odd Evil Demons all by himself!
"This, this is a bit too far-fetched!" Ming Lan couldn’t bring herself to accept this outrageous fact.
However, the result of the battle compelled her to think in this direction.
Because Qin Qi had completely taken the upper hand in the fight against the remaining Evil Demons.
A closer look revealed only six Evil Demons left.
Among them, three were completely entangled by Qin Qi with his Celestial Spirit True Qi, surging and roaring against them.
The Evil Demons appeared battered and unable to contend with him directly.
Ming Lan bit her lips, "Is this the Cultivation Technique he’s practicing? Supreme Yang, is it of the metal attribute? It seems to inherently restrain these Evil Demons!"
"The Evil Qi that is usually so effective against human cultivators is useless against this golden mana."
"On the contrary, it is being ravaged by this golden True Qi, retreating in defeat!"
Finally.
Bang bang bang!
Three consecutive sounds erupted.
Under the sweeping force of Celestial Spirit True Qi, three Evil Demons couldn’t withstand the pressure, their bodies crushed to pieces.
The last three Evil Demons wanted to escape to safety.
Qin Qi sneered, "Trying to flee now, isn’t it a little late!"
On the escape route of the remaining Evil Demons, Qin Qi had already placed Supreme Yang True Flame, and under the burning flames, the remaining Evil Demons had no resistance and were burned to nothing.
At this moment, the air seemed particularly silent.
All the Evil Demons fell, leaving only their sharpest teeth scattered around.
Of course, this was intentional by Qin Qi, as these demon teeth were proof of his victory over them in battle!
Qin Qi stepped forward, as if he had done something insignificant, waved his hand, and collected all the demon teeth into his bag!
"Qin, Qin Qi..."
Ming Lan and another senior brother stepped forward.
Ming Lan took a light breath, "Qin Qi, thank you for saving my life!"
Qin Qi waved his hand, "No problem!"
Ming Lan felt somewhat guilty inside.
After all, she had looked down on Qin Qi because of Wu Hao. Without Qin Qi, she feared that she would have perished here today!
The other senior brother also spoke gratefully, "Junior Brother Qin Qi, thank you for rescuing me. I am Ma Yan; I was offensive earlier, please don’t take it to heart!"
Qin Qi also didn’t mind, "Today’s outing is mainly for the flag-planting mission. A little conflict is quite normal!"
"As for these demon teeth, I’ve collected them all; you both have no objections, right?"
Ming Lan and Ma Yan responded, "Of course not, they rightfully belong to you, Junior Brother Qin Qi!"
As they spoke, both were astounded at Qin Qi’s incredible battle prowess.
To face and battle ten-odd Evil Demons alone.
It’s hard to believe such a feat could be done.
Suddenly, Ming Lan realized something, "Wait, where is Wu Hao?"
Ma Yan immediately understood, "During the time Qin Qi was fighting these Evil Demons, it seems he found an opportunity to escape!"
Ming Lan’s face became extremely grim, "That Wu fellow is a disgraceful coward. How did I not see how worthless he is!"
"Abandoning comrades, fleeing alone, forsaking the mission, becoming a deserter. I’ll surely report all these offenses when we return!"
Ma Yan hesitantly spoke, "Then for the three of us next..."
As he spoke, both he and Ming Lan looked towards Qin Qi.
Evidently, they both were relying on Qin Qi now!
If only they two were left, and with Wu Hao gone, they surely wouldn’t dare touch the flag mission!
But with Qin Qi here, everything was different!
Qin Qi looked at their gazes on him and quickly replied, "Our mission is to plant the flag, and since it’s not completed, there’s no reason to return."
"However, regarding the Array Flag, Wu Hao has left, do either of you..."
Ming Lan immediately said, "I have a spare one with me!"
"I have one too, kept for emergencies!" Ma Yan also said.
Qin Qi nodded, "That’s good, but if we’re going to set off, we need to hurry. Having defeated ten-odd Evil Demons here, their shared memory ability will soon alert them!"
"This mission is not safe and completing it may be significantly challenging!"
Ming Lan softly spoke, "Battling Evil Demons is inherently dangerous; if one fears death, why come to the battlefield? Better to hide at the rear!"
"Junior Brother Qin Qi, we both follow your lead; whatever you arrange, we’ll obey!"
Qin Qi immediately said, "Then let’s not delay, let’s act quickly!"
The two naturally had no complaints and quickly followed Qin Qi.
The destination for planting the flag wasn’t far from here.
During the journey, Qin Qi glanced at Ming Lan, feeling somewhat curious.
Taking advantage of the short travel time, he couldn’t help but say, "Senior Sister Ming, there are a few things, would you mind answering them?"
Ming Lan softly spoke, "Are you asking about our Ming Family?"
After all, earlier Qin Qi asked about the Ming Family.
However, when asked again, her attitude was entirely different from before.
Qin Qi did not deny it, and straightforwardly said, "I want to know if there is someone named Ming Tianhong in your Ming Family!"
"Ming Tianhong?" Ming Lan’s face slightly changed.
Qin Qi continued as they traveled, "Is there something wrong?"
Ming Lan felt quite puzzled, "Junior Brother Qin Qi, if you know Ming Tianhong, how could you not know he is the head of our Ming Family?"
"Family Head?" Qin Qi was quite surprised.
It should be noted that Ming Tianhong was the ultimate target of the letter Ming Hu wanted him to deliver.
Years ago, an ancestor sent by the Ming Family to the Martial Arts District left only one offspring, named Ming Tianhong.
The greatest wish of that ancestor was to see his son once again.
After the passage of time, Ming Tianhong had become the Family Head of the Ming Family!
Ming Lan, although puzzled, did not think much and directly replied, "Yes, and our Family Head is the most gifted person of our Ming Family in recent years. It took him only a hundred years to break through the Core Formation Stage and advance to the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!"
