Chapter 872
"No, that’s not right!"
Junior Sister Ming was the first to notice something off, "These evil demons seem to have already understood the Qingyang Lamp. They actually started to guard against it directly."
Could it be that Qin Qi was right?
It was just a brief encounter, clearly having captured those evil demons in one net, did the other demons also receive the intelligence?
And it’s not just that.
Despite keeping a distance, the invasion of evil qi didn’t stop.
In just a blink of an eye.
When they regained their senses.
The shield of the Qingyang Lamp suddenly showed cracks!
"Oh no!" Junior Sister Ming’s pupils shrank, "Wu Hao, can you hold on?"
Wu Hao’s face was exceptionally grim, unable to even speak.
Suddenly, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth.
Immediately, the already cracked Qingyang Lamp shield shattered layer by layer, completely disintegrated by the myriad demons’ evil qi!
"Terrible, we must escape!" Junior Sister Ming’s eyes were filled with fear and despair.
Their numbers were already at a disadvantage; now they’ve lost the only trump card, the Qingyang Lamp.
Though they were the elite, handpicked to plant the flag!
They were definitely not a match for so many demons.
Wu Hao wasn’t foolish, immediately ran for his life the moment the Qingyang Lamp broke.
Junior Sister Ming followed right behind!
But those demons were already prepared, their intelligence fully active, directly intercepting Junior Sister Ming and the others!
Junior Sister Ming and Wu Hao planned to change routes to flee.
But when they regained awareness, a group of demons had already surrounded them tightly, leaving no gap for escape.
"It’s over!" Despair surged in Junior Sister Ming’s heart.
Everything Qin Qi said was right.
The intelligence-sharing capability of these demons is extremely high.
Had they listened to Qin Qi at the time and hid in place, perhaps there’d be a sliver of hope!
But they naively thought Qin Qi’s words were nonsense, completely falling into the demons’ encirclement.
Wu Hao’s face also looked extremely grim, the broken Qingyang Lamp, combined with the fear of demons, made his body tremble all over.
He cried out, "Ming, Junior Sister Ming, what should we do now!"
Junior Sister Ming saw Wu Hao’s frightened appearance, took a deep breath, and couldn’t help but show a bit of disdain in her eyes.
She bit her teeth lightly, "Brother Wu, are you joking with me?"
"At this point, you ask me what to do? What else is there to do, there’s no possibility of escape, naturally, we can only fight to the death!"
Wu Hao spoke with a sob, "Junior Sister Ming, I, I can’t die. I still have many things left undone. So, Junior Sister Ming, help me cover!"
"I must flee, once I’m out, I’ll go back to bring reinforcements, let the Holy Maiden and City Lord Tianqing rescue us personally!"
Junior Sister Ming listened to Wu Hao’s words, even more, infuriated.
How did she not see at first that Wu Hao was such a cowardly role?
She coldly said, "Wu Hao, who doesn’t have unfinished business? And escaping? Is it even possible?"
With a cold face and True Qi at full strength, she’d already prepared to fight to the death at any moment!
The horde of demons didn’t give Junior Sister Ming and Wu Hao any breather.
In an instant!
A dozen demons simultaneously charged toward the trio.
Junior Sister Ming and Wu Hao directly rushed forward, employing techniques, planning a last-ditch effort!
But Wu Hao, in contrast, took advantage of Junior Sister Ming’s time in action, and attempted to flee!
Yet soon, several intercepting demons used evil qi to block his route.
Meanwhile, Junior Sister Ming and the two, under the sweeping evil qi, soon lost their ability to resist, with their True Qi being gradually eroded, leaving no room for resistance anymore.
Junior Sister Ming struggled unwillingly, but found her True Qi couldn’t be exerted a bit!
Seeing these demons about to invade her body!
Junior Sister Ming closed her eyes, having completely given up hope!
But just then!
Suddenly, a beam of golden light appeared abruptly from above, enveloping the trio wholly!
Subsequently, under the cover of the golden light, the trio was pulled directly out of the demons’ encirclement.
This left Junior Sister Ming and the others in shock.
After escaping, they all looked up to see that their rescuer was none other than Qin Qi.
"Qin Qi!"
Junior Sister Ming’s pupils shrank, realizing as of now.
From the moment the Qingyang Lamp broke, Qin Qi hadn’t moved at all, though four demons blocked his way.
However, those four demons had become corpses by now!
"In such a short time, he took out four demons, how did he do it?" Junior Sister Ming was exceedingly astonished.
No time to be surprised.
A dozen demons also took notice of Qin Qi, and upon seeing him, they all displayed expressions of dread.
"Looks like they’ve recognized me!" Qin Qi’s lips curled up.
He didn’t waste any time.
With ample experience in battling demons.
He waved his hand, a large quantity of Celestial Spirit True Qi surged, under which the dozen demons couldn’t get close to Qin Qi.
Conversely, Qin Qi flicked his finger, several Supreme Yang True Flames had already been flicked out!
Under the cover of Celestial Spirit True Qi, the Supreme Yang True Flames passed silently.
A few demons, completely unaware, were set ablaze by the Supreme Yang True Flames.
At this moment, Wu Hao, shaken but not stirred, regained his senses, sneaking up to Junior Sister Ming’s side, "Junior Sister Ming, why are we still waiting? Hurry and run!"
"Now that Qin Qi buys us time, if not run now, when?!"
Junior Sister Ming furrowed her brows, "Run?"
Wu Hao sneered aloud, "That guy wants to play hero, by all means, let him. Why should we die with him?"
"To fight a dozen demons alone, isn’t he seeking death?"
Junior Sister Ming took a deep breath, responded angrily, "Wu Hao, are you even human? Qin Qi is also a fellow cultivator, and you’re running while he battles these demons?"
"If you want to escape, escape alone. I’d rather die than disgrace myself like this!"
Seeing Junior Sister Ming didn’t intend to run, Wu Hao’s eyes rolled, already planning to seize an opportunity to flee.
Meanwhile, Junior Sister Ming watched the battle between Qin Qi and the demons.
Watching closely left her shocked and nearly unable to believe her eyes.
"How, how is this possible!"
Because, the dozen demons fiercely battling Qin Qi.
In the brief distraction while speaking with Wu Hao, had already mostly fallen, leaving the remaining ones looking thoroughly disheveled!
