Chapter 122: The Great Battle (Part 3)
When they saw the wild boar showing signs of exhaustion and wounds, everyone was filled with joy.
Hurry! The army of pig hunters is about to catch up from behind. We need to push forward quickly!
Even Fang Lingqing, Qi Feidao, and the other elite disciples from the three schools looked excitedly at the wild boar, extending their cruel and merciless claws towards it.
Little piggy, little sweetie, don't run away. Let your big brothers love and take care of you.
After a few rounds of fighting, Shan Gao winced in pain and started moving around awkwardly, trying to defend itself.
Qiao Wan walked, leading Shan Gao back and forth, creating a comfortable working environment for Fang Lingqing and the others.
After all the running around, Shan Gao couldn't hold on any longer, even his hooves were slipping.
"Let's give it our all!" Liu Xinwen's face lit up, seizing the opportunity and giving orders, "On my count of three, we'll all attack together!"
"Whether we succeed or not depends on this final strike!"
After roaring, Liu Xinwen gave Qiao Wan a meaningful look: "Lu Cixian!"
Qiao Wan nodded, slowed her pace, leading Shan Gao towards the encirclement formed by Liu Xinwen.
Fang Lingqing held his breath and felt his hands trembling.
Whether they could achieve their goal of 800 points depended on this final strike.
Just when everyone was feeling confident and preparing to push towards the wild boar, an unexpected twist happened.
In the distance, a flash of sword light appeared, a powerful sword intent came crashing down from the sky like a raging wave.
The sword looks like water falling from the sky, roaring as it rushes downward. Qiao Wan, Qi Feidao, and Fang Lingqing all look up in surprise and are quickly swept away by the powerful sword. Fang Lingqing shouts in fear, "Xie Xingzhi!"
Xie Xingzhi? Liu Xinwen is shocked and looks up.
Is this sword light from Xie Xingzhi?
In this fantasy, who else could have this sword light besides Xie Xingzhi, who has been on a killing spree?
The question is, how did Xie Xingzhi appear here all of a sudden?!
With the falling sword light comes a man dressed in white, looking cold and noble. He scans everyone's faces in an instant.
He raises his hand.
The heavy iron sword hums, and its tip spins in mid-air, locking onto Shan Gao!
Everyone is shocked by the sudden change they witnessed.
Did Xie Xingzhi also come charging towards this pig?!
Qiao Wan was stunned as she saw a man descending from the sky with a majestic sword. But when she saw the sword pointed straight at a wild boar, she exclaimed in surprise. She quickly flew over to save the pig!
There was no way Xie Xingzhi would be able to steal the boss. It was pointless to play this game of truth and justice.
Absolutely not! Xie Xingzhi must not steal the boss!
After a brief moment of silence, everyone rushed forward.
"Pig!" They shouted.
Their precious pig was in danger!
Qiao Wan's heart raced as she shouted, "Taoist friend, spare the pig!"
Fang Lingqing angrily yelled, "Taoist Friend Xie, the pig!"
The man momentarily paused his attack.
Qiao Wan had already reached Shan Gao, their eyes met.
In Shan Gao's eyes, Qiao Wan's face reflected clearly. Xie Xingzhi realized something and decisively released his flying sword.
With magnificent momentum, the dazzling sword light created a powerful air current, causing leaves and branches to float in mid-air.
As Qiao Wan rushed towards Xie Xingzhi, along with everyone else, they were suddenly lifted into the sky by a powerful force, their bodies flung away.
Bang!
Qiao Wan landed on the ground, facing downwards. She quickly got up and tried to move forward, but was stopped in her tracks by a bright sword light. One foot had stepped forward, and her ankle was cut, drawing a thin line of blood.
Just as Fang Lingqing caught up and saw the scene, his heart skipped a beat and he instinctively stopped in his tracks.
Leaves around them were swirling in circles, moved by the energy of the sword.
The man stood tall and handsome, with a cold gaze.
Everyone's heart trembled, and they all simultaneously thought the same thing.
Lone Sword Xie Xingzhi, truly terrifying!
Since his arrival, he had grown rapidly, and now, even when they all joined forces, they still couldn't match Xie Xingzhi. Damn, how many innocent souls had Xie Xingzhi claimed in the past three days?!
On Lotus Seat Peak, the innocent souls all sneezed at once when they met the gaze of their elders, feeling a nervous tremor.
It's not that the disciples were not capable, but Xie Xingzhi's development was just too terrifying, causing despair and sadness.
Qiao Wan had one foot stuck in the sword circle, not moving an inch, her dark eyes reflecting Xie Xingzhi's face.
She didn't show any intentions of retreating.
The longer she stayed, the more vibrant the bloodline on her ankle became, and the deeper the wound was constricted.
Fight on, but unable to win, give up, but unwilling to do so.
Everyone clenched their teeth.
Liu Zhiyi tightened his grip on the knife, and his spirit was a bit afraid.
After all the effort to get to this point, it was Xie Xingzhi who intercepted them. Who could accept that? Moreover, if it wasn't for their previous exhaustion in pushing Shan Gao, they wouldn't have been so easily blocked by Xie Xingzhi.
The atmosphere around them immediately became tense, filled with complexity and a sense of impending danger like an approaching storm.
Qiao Wan was too nervous to move and carefully watched Xie Xingzhi's every move. Her heart was beating fast, and she felt dry in her mouth. She kept reminding herself to stay calm in this critical moment.
She had just earned enough skill points in Zhang Zhiyi's compass. While Xie Xingzhi's sword could hurt her, it wouldn't completely cut off half of her foot.
Xie Xingzhi's black iron sword was solid and resembled a majestic ancient pine tree. It was said that he had derived his sword techniques from observing the green pines on Chaotian Mountain every day. That's why he was known as the Lone Sword Xie Xingzhi, and Lu Pihan who was under Kunshan's Yuqing Spiritual Master had the nickname of Sick Plum.
Under Qiao Wan's focused gaze, Xie Xingzhi finally raised his hand.
The heavy black iron sword sliced through the air, creating a gust of wind. The sword light reversed, resembling an ancient pine tree on a cliff.
Sword Technique: Hanging Ancient Pine
The sword light swung down towards the wild boar!
Qiao Wan held her breath.
It was now or never!
Seizing the opportunity, Qiao Wan quickly flew forward. With a subtle and light sound, a pale blue spiritual energy ignited like a flame. Her hand was covered with the iron sand palm that Ciji had taught her, but the technique she used was inspired by Jia Yin's "Wuxiang Technique."
Just like that, barehandedly, she reached out and grabbed Xie Xingzhi's sword before the sword light could fall on Shan Gao. She firmly held the sword light in her hand!
Grabbed it in her hand?
The sword light buzzed in Qiao Wan's hand nonstop. Seeing the sword light in her hand, everyone was startled.
Xie Xingzhi probably didn't expect this move and was surprised.
As soon as she grabbed the sword light, Qiao Wan stumbled and almost fell in front of Shan Gao.
Witnessing this astonishing sight, Fang Lingqing was so shocked that his heart almost jumped out of his throat. It was Qi Feidao who reacted fastest, his voice resolute, "Take advantage of this moment! Attack!"
Liu Xinwen and the others behind him awakened from their daze and quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed forward!
Among them, if we have to count, Qi Feidao is at the forefront. He steps on a certain position, forms a hand seal, and creates a powerful formation called "Heavenly Support Shocking Gate" with the others. They work together to create a net that tightly encloses Lone Sword in front of them.
When Qi Feidao and the others move, Qiao Wan doesn't stay idle either. With a sword in her hand, the sharp and cold aura radiates from it. Even though it's just one sword ray, holding it feels like being surrounded by countless sword lights. Qiao Wan feels her arm getting heavier and almost falls down. As soon as she grabbed the sword ray, the protective layer of her "Iron Sand Palm" energy burst with a crisp sound and started to crack.
Just as she grasped the sword ray, Qiao Wan didn't hesitate and immediately threw it away.
Her target was Xie Xingzhi !
Seeing this.furrowed his brows and swung his sword.
They were waiting for this moment.
ERROR
As Qiao Wan put the power bead in her mouth, she felt something different. Almost immediately, her whole body trembled and she felt a surge of unstoppable strength from head to toe. Even if Shan Gao had been pressing down on her back for more than ten days, she could still carry him effortlessly.
So this is the power of the power bead?
Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Xie Xingzhi quickly changed his tactics and reached out to grab Qiao Wan's shoulder.
Qiao Wan turned to dodge.
After a few moves, the two of them rolled into a heap on the ground.
Xie Xingzhi was quick and managed to pin down the person underneath him. He reached into Qiao Wan's mouth and tried to grab the power bead. He purposefully pushed her tongue aside and managed to fish out the round bead from beneath her tongue.
Cough, cough, cough, cough.
The feeling of fingers digging into her mouth was extremely uncomfortable, and Qiao Wan choked so much that snot and tears almost streamed down her face.
Seeing that Xie Xingzhi was about to take the power bead back, Qiao Wan's heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and bit down.
Xie Xingzhi's face suddenly changed, and he tried to retract his hand.
Couldn't find it.
Qiao Wan tightly bit his finger, not letting go.
A smooth black glove pressed against his tongue, carrying a slight bitter pine scent. His fingertips were wrapped in wetness, feeling the saliva sticking to his fingers. Xie Xingzhi's gaze suddenly turned cold and he said, "Let go."
A surge churned in his stomach, but Qiao Wan still bit down on the finger in his mouth. While biting, he pushed the round bead at the tip of his tongue towards the back.
"Gurgle." With a determined heart, he swallowed it.
When Xie Xingzhi tried to retrieve it again, his fingertips only touched a soft tongue.
The man's forehead twitched.
As the bead entered his stomach, Qiao Wan leaped up like a fish, unexpectedly flipping Xie Xingzhi over.
Unfortunately, the imagined scene of Lone Sword Xie Xingzhi falling headfirst did not happen. Xie Xingzhi quickly adjusted his posture and stood steady.
Just a moment ago, Qiao Wan unexpectedly leapt forward like an angry bull. Xie Xingzhi couldn't help but wince in pain and tightly grabbed Qiao Wan's arm. Qiao Wan took the opportunity to kick and jumped onto the man's back. Her legs wrapped tightly around his waist, while her arm encircled his neck, hanging her entire body on him.
"Let go!" Xie Xingzhi froze, tried to break free, but couldn't. His face turned red with alarm.
Just as Qiao Wan and Xie Xingzhi were struggling with each other, suddenly Qi Feidao's voice echoed.
"Taoist Friend Lu, hold on! Help is coming!"
With this sound, Qiao Wan no longer persisted and slipped off from Xie Xingzhi's body, escaping from the fight just in time.
Qi Feidao quickly arrived with a group of people and forcefully stopped in front of Xie Xingzhi.
Qi Feidao smirked lazily, "Long time no see, Taoist Friend Xie."
If they hadn't met in this situation, Qi Feidao would have liked to chat more with Xie Xingzhi . But unfortunately, in this situation, they had no choice but to fight.
Seeing Xie Xingzhi being surrounded, Qiao Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking back to their recent confrontation, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
When she was still in Kunshan, she never dreamed that she would have a chance to spar with Xie Xingzhi .
Does this mean she has grown too?!
With this thought in mind, Qiao Wan felt a surge of energy. Her gaze landed unintentionally on the forgotten wild boar, Shan Gao.
Immediately, a bold idea slowly emerged in her mind.
Clenching her fist, it felt as if she had the strength to move mountains and rivers!
Qiao Wan blinked her eyes, sprinted forward, and rushed in front of Shan Gao. She grasped her hand, exerted her strength, and lifted the wild boar high in the air.
"Taoist Friend Xie has such a high score, how about we make a deal and give us this pig?" Qi Feidao politely bowed.
Xie Xingzhi's eyes were as cold as frozen stars, calm and unwavering. "Shan Gao, I am determined to win."
Just then, a clear voice suddenly burst out!
"Make way, make way, make way!! Martial Brother Qi, move aside!!"
The clear and pleasant voice was getting closer and closer. Qi Feidao quickly grabbed the bewildered fellow cultivator next to him and stepped back.
Ahead, Qiao Wan was carrying the pig and rushing over like her butt was on fire!
With a quick brake, she threw the wild pig she was holding towards where Xie Xingzhi was standing!
Fang Lingqing, Liu Xinwen, and the others stood stunned, watching the airborne pig and its four outstretched hooves.
Holy cow!
Qi Feidao was also dumbfounded, but luckily he reacted quickly and swiftly used his secret technique.
He quickly cast several spells to restrain Xie Xingzhi's movements.
Meng Canglang, a man who stood tall and cold like a pine tree, quickly looked up.
He saw a dark shadow coming down towards him like Mount Tai crashing down.
With a loud and earth-shaking noise, everyone's jade pendants vibrated at the same time.
Meng Canglang instinctively reached for the jade pendant in his hand.
On the Souvenir Stone at Lotus Seat Peak, a shocking line of words suddenly appeared.
"Xie Xingzhi has been killed by a pig!"
But it's not over yet!
Another line of words followed closely.
"Lu Cixian has killed the pig!"
The entire Lotus Seat Peak was shocked and in chaos once again.
Meng Canglang: ......?
