Chapter 900
However, since I’ve understood the opponent’s intent, this scheme doesn’t amount to much anymore.
Qin Qi sneered inwardly, and with only a moment’s thought, he had devised a countermeasure.
"If that’s the case, then let’s turn the tables!"
With that in mind, Qin Qi trembled all over, feigning exhaustion as he said, "Murong Chan, what are you waiting for? The mana in my body can’t hold on much longer."
Murong Chan, upon hearing this, acted as if she hadn’t heard anything.
Instead, she manipulated the Thunder Dragon Rope more ferociously, drawing on the mana inside Qin Qi’s body.
Qin Qi immediately pretended to be drained of mana, his figure retreating several steps back, severing the connection with the Thunder Dragon Rope.
Murong Chan immediately turned furious, "Qin Qi, what are you doing? Even if you are out of mana, you shouldn’t release the Thunder Dragon Rope!"
"You’re ruining our grand plan. If hunting the Elite Demon fails, you’ll be the prime culprit!"
As she blamed him verbally, she promptly manipulated the Thunder Dragon Rope, loosening its grip on the Elite Demon slightly.
The Elite Demon, immensely powerful, immediately broke free of the Thunder Dragon Rope with a slight relaxation.
"Not good!"
Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Mingtong quickly retreated.
When they looked at Murong Chan again, she had already run far away, no one knew when.
The Elite Demon turned its focus toward Qin Qi with blood-red eyes, cold as if they were about to burst with veins.
Seeing this, Qin Qi twisted his neck and spoke in a cold whisper, "Looks like I was right. They’re planning to use the Elite Demon to secretly eliminate me without anyone noticing!"
"Hmph, but wanting to kill me that easily is a bit too wishful thinking!"
At the same time, the Elite Demon swiped its claw sideways, sending a massive wave of Evil Qi spiraling over at an incredibly fast speed!
Seeing this, Qin Qi, without another word, immediately expanded the Celestial Spirit True Qi to clash with the Evil Qi.
As soon as they collided, Qin Qi’s body halted, his pupils suddenly contracting.
"Goodness..."
He couldn’t help gasping, "When a few people were resisting this Evil Qi earlier, I didn’t feel much. But when resisting it alone, it’s really hard to withstand!"
If it weren’t for the innate capability of my Celestial Spirit True Qi to counter Evil Qi, this strike might have been my end.
Even so, the clash between the Evil Qi and the Celestial Spirit True Qi appears to be evenly matched.
Qin Qi muttered under his breath, "Fortunately, this Evil Qi can’t break through my Celestial Spirit True Qi’s defense. In this way, even though I may not be able to defeat this Elite Demon, it can’t kill me either!"
With this in mind, he rolled his eyes.
"Then let’s play a little trick of the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell..."
"Murong Chan, you want to reap the benefits? Then let me see who among us is the real beneficiary!"
While speaking, Qin Qi again released the mana from his body, then used the Invisibility Technique to obscure his figure and aura under the golden light of the Celestial Spirit True Qi.
Murong Chan and the others clearly had no idea about this.
Wei Ling’Er was extremely anxious, "Murong Chan, why are you still standing there? Go help Qin Qi!"
Murong Chan snorted, "Miss Wei, at this distance, it’s evidently too late, isn’t it? Besides, this is Qin Qi’s own doing!"
"With such low cultivation, he had no place being involved in such matters, yet he insists on playing hero!"
"He ran out of mana so quickly. It’s good enough that I’m not blaming him for ruining my plan. Risk my life to save him?"
He laughed coldly to himself.
In his mind, the plan was flawless. Who could spot any flaws?
If there’s anyone to blame, it’s this Qin Qi for having the gall to offend me!
Wei Ling’Er’s face was unpleasant; she vaguely sensed that Qin Qi’s current predicament had something to do with Murong Chan.
But lacking evidence, there wasn’t much she could say.
With this in mind, she could only grit her teeth, "If that’s the case, I’ll go help!"
Murong Chan, hands clasped behind his back, said, "Miss Wei, I already said, it’s too late!"
Wei Ling’Er took a closer look and truly discovered.
Qin Qi’s Celestial Spirit True Qi had already been completely broken.
Returning her focus to Qin Qi’s whereabouts, she found that there wasn’t a shadow or a trace left of him.
"Qin Qi!!" Wei Ling’Er’s entire body froze.
Could it be that Qin Qi is really gone just like that?
Zhang Mingtong sighed lightly, "It seems Junior Brother Qin Qi has already perished. With the terrifying power of the Elite Demon, it’s normal for Junior Brother Qin Qi to fall in a moment with his level of cultivation!"
Murong Chan was gleeful inside.
Outwardly, he said, "This isn’t the time to be mourning in sorrow, you two. His demise only proves his incompetence!"
"Next, the three of us should team up to kill this Elite Demon!"
Just as he finished speaking,
the Elite Demon once again set its sights on them.
Wei Ling’Er’s eyes sharpened, "Attempting to use the Thunder Dragon Rope to restrain this demon again is probably impossible now!"
"Don’t worry!"
Murong Chan, with hands behind his back, said, "Being restrained by my Thunder Dragon Rope for so long, no matter how powerful, this demon will surely be extremely weakened by now!"
"With the power of the three of us combined, it won’t be a problem to kill it!"
Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Mingtong exchanged glances.
Though they harbored a faint feeling of dread.
Nonetheless, with things as they are, they could only brace themselves and advance with Murong Chan.
...
At the same time, Feng Xiao Xiao’s gaze also focused on the situation below.
Upon sensing Qin Qi’s aura dissipate, she froze, "Qin Qi, dead?"
"As expected, that Murong Chan had sinister intentions. She tampered with the Thunder Dragon Rope!"
With her sharp perception, she had naturally seen the clues at a glance.
However, as an expert at the Core Formation Stage, her status was special. She absolutely wouldn’t take action unless the battlefield below became truly critical.
Even if she wanted to save Qin Qi, she was powerless to do so.
"However..."
Feng Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, "Was Qin Qi really that easy to kill?"
She always felt that Qin Qi wasn’t someone who would fall so easily.
For a moment, she extended her Divine Thought, searching across the vast battlefield.
With this search, Feng Xiao Xiao’s eyes quickly lit up, "Oh? Interesting... Didn’t expect this kid to have such a trick—Invisibility Technique, a method from the Silver Palace Book Pages!"
"I thought so, why did he die so easily. It seems he’s planning to use their own tactics against them!"
"However, if that’s the case, solving the Elite Demon might be difficult indeed!"
No one knew better than she did.
It wasn’t that easy to weaken the Elite Demon with just the Thunder Dragon Rope!
Everything happened just as Feng Xiao Xiao expected.
Looking again at the trio of Murong Chan, who had initially been jointly fighting against the Elite Demon, they had been scattered in just an instant.
At the same time, their faces were already dripping with sweat, looking extremely unpleasant.
"Murong Chan, didn’t you say this Elite Demon was weakened to the point of having no power by your Thunder Dragon Rope!"
"Why, why is it still so fierce!"
