Chapter 654: Killed with one strike, familiar (asking for monthly votes)
Hearing Li Xuanyi's request, Song Qingming was also slightly stunned. He thought that the other party knew that he was on the verge of despair and wanted to entrust him with something. After thinking for a while, he nodded to her calmly.
"Daoyou Li, you and I may not have a chance to escape from here today. Just say whatever you want to say. I will do my best if I promise you!"
"Then I'd like to ask Daoyou to keep this for me first. Remember to return it to me later!"
Seeing that Song Qingming agreed to it, Li Xuanyi's face showed a little relief, and then handed a square jade pendant that had been prepared in his hand to Song Qingming.
Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Song Qingming still had some doubts on his face, but before he could ask, Li Xuanyi had already jumped down from the "Phantom Boat" and rushed directly to Duan Longshan who was chasing behind.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming was also shocked. He didn't understand why she didn't choose to escape, but took the initiative to attack and fight the enemy.
You know, although Li Xuanyi's injuries have stabilized, it is still not easy to fight with others. At this moment, the strength she can exert is estimated to be only 50% at most.
Li Xuanyi in her prime is still far from being Duan Longshan's opponent, not to mention that she is now seriously injured and her strength has been greatly reduced.
In Song Qingming's eyes, Li Xuanyi's move is more like wanting to take the initiative to die to delay time for herself, how can Song Qingming not be shocked.
In the world of immortal cultivation, cultivators who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others are all for the sect or family members. Li Xuanyi and Song Qingming have only just shared hardships, and there is no motive for her to make this choice.
If it were Song Qingming himself, even if he was in such a desperate situation, he would never make such a choice until the last moment.
Not only did Song Qingming not expect it, but even Duan Longshan, who was already running from a distance, was also surprised.
Although Li Xuanyi had escaped his pursuit with the help of the Black Demon Crow, she was already seriously injured, and there was still a lot of Xuanbing Qi left by Duan Longshan in her body.
This time, they were able to catch up with Song Qingming and the others so quickly and accurately, and it was precisely because of this reason.
Just as Song Qingming thought, in Duan Longshan's eyes, Li Xuanyi's choice was no different from sending herself to death.
If Li Xuanyi was determined to escape, Duan Longshan would probably need to use some skills and means to get rid of her. Now she took the initiative to send herself to the door to confront him head-on, which saved him a lot of effort.
"Hehe! You have courage. Since you are so anxious to die, I have no choice but to fulfill your wish!"
Looking at Li Xuanyi who was getting closer and closer to him, Duan Longshan laughed very happily, and immediately cast a spell in his hand and swung out two spiritual lights.
Then, a "silver armor corpse puppet" with a cultivation level of the late Jindan appeared beside him. Its strength was not inferior to the "black armor corpse puppet" of Chen Zifeng that Song Qingming had dealt with before, and it seemed to be even better.
As soon as this "silver armor corpse puppet" of the late Jindan appeared, it turned into a silver light under Duan Longshan's command, and rushed towards Li Xuanyi with a fierce momentum.
While commanding the "silver armor corpse puppet" to attack, Duan Longshan had another jade gourd magic weapon of the third-grade upper grade in his hand.
This powerful third-grade upper-grade magic weapon, also under Duan Longshan's control, instantly became dozens of times larger, and sprayed out a series of transparent ice arrows from it, rushing straight to Li Xuanyi's location.
In order to avoid accidents and quickly decide the battle, Duan Longshan did not plan to keep a backup this time. He used his most powerful "corpse puppet" and magic weapon right away, not wanting to give Li Xuanyi another chance to escape.
Seeing Duan Longshan use such a powerful method at the first move, Song Qingming and Chen Zifeng, who were not far away, showed a hint of understanding on their faces. In their eyes, Li Xuanyi's fate seemed to have been determined.
However, facing Duan Longshan's sharp attack, Li Xuanyi's face did not change much, but instead shot a cold look at Duan Longshan who was about to kill him.
Just when the "silver armor corpse puppet" was less than a hundred feet away from her, Li Xuanyi finally stopped moving forward. Standing in the air, she gently raised her jade hand and pointed at Duan Longshan in the distance.
A moment later, a powerful white spiritual light suddenly appeared on Li Xuanyi's finger, and then the white spiritual light turned into a sharp arrow and went straight to Duan Longshan in front of Li Xuanyi.
This sudden scene also made Duan Longshan somewhat unexpected. While he was still thinking, the "Silver Armor Corpse Puppet" in the late Jindan stage that rushed in the front had been hit by the white sword light used by Li Xuanyi.
It was instantly penetrated by it, revealing a large hole the size of a bowl, and was knocked out and fell from mid-air, while the white sword light was still going unabated, shattering several transparent ice arrows that followed and heading straight for Duan Longshan.
Seeing that the white sword light was so powerful that it could instantly break the defense of the "Silver Armor Corpse Puppet" he controlled, Duan Longshan's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly summoned a defensive magic weapon to protect himself in front of him, and formed two shields.
However, what he didn't expect was that these two defenses that he thought were very good were like paper in the face of the white sword light, and were instantly penetrated by it and flew straight into the sky.
"You, how is it possible?"
Duan Longshan, who was standing on the spot, stared at the big hole in his chest with wide eyes and some disbelief. After uttering a few words with trembling mouth, he completely lost his voice and fell from the air.
Song Qingming, who was still not far away, intent on escaping, and Chen Zifeng, who had just arrived near the battlefield, both froze at the scene when they saw this shocking scene, unable to believe what had just happened in front of them.
Under normal circumstances, even if they are both Golden Core cultivators and have the ability to kill each other, they cannot do it with just one move.
No one dared to imagine that Duan Longshan, a powerful master of the ninth level of Jindan, could easily be killed instantly by a sudden and strange blow from Li Xuanyi, who was already seriously injured!
If he hadn't seen Duan Longshan's body, lifeless and motionless, falling from the air not far away, Song Qingming would have thought that he was dreaming or trapped in a hallucination.
"How is this possible? Could it be that she is a Nascent Soul monk who has hidden his cultivation!"
Chen Zifeng, who was closer to Li Xuanyi, reacted as if he had seen a ghost. After looking at Li Xuanyi who was still standing in the air with fear, he immediately turned around and ran away in fear, as if he didn't care about anything anymore. On.
In his eyes, Li Xuanyi, who had a cold face, had obviously become as terrifying a being as the Nascent Soul cultivator.
What's a little strange is that when he saw Chen Zifeng running away from him, Li Xuanyi just stood there and did nothing, without any intention of pursuing him.
Seeing this, Song Qingming, who had arrived not far from Li Xuanyi, hurriedly reminded him: "Fellow Daoist Li, do we still want to chase him?"
The flying boat at Chen Zifeng's feet originally belonged to Duan Longshan, and its quality and speed were no less than the "Phantom Boat" on Song Qingming's body. Song Qingming alone was not very sure that he could catch up with the opponent. We could only see if Li Xuanyi had any other options. .
But just as Song Qingming was waiting expectantly for the other party's reply, Li Xuanyi, who was standing in the air, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell from the air and fell straight to the ground.
"Fellow Daoist Li, what's wrong with you!" This sudden situation was beyond the expectation of Song Qingming, who was looking happy, and he quickly turned the boat around to pick her up.
After seeing Li Xuanyi at close range, Song Qingming discovered that the other person was unconscious again and fell into a coma. Moreover, his condition seemed to be worse this time, and the aura on his body was now very weak.
"No way! This is troublesome."
After Song Qingming sighed helplessly, he immediately stepped forward to cast a spell and carefully checked Li Xuanyi's condition, and felt that the spiritual energy in her body was very messy.
It seemed that the shocking blow that had just been launched to kill Duan Longshan consumed too much mana in the body and suddenly backfired on his own vitality, causing him to suddenly pass out.
After thinking for a moment, Song Qingming hurriedly flew forward and grabbed the storage bag on Duan Longshan's body in mid-air, as well as the jade gourd magic weapon that fell aside, and then quickly turned into a ray of light and fled from here.
After flying forward at full strength for a short while, Song Qingming, who was standing on the airship, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the airship under his feet had finally passed through the boundary of the "Demon Sealing Valley".
Fortunately, Chen Zifeng had been scared out of his wits just now and did not dare to continue chasing. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape the opponent's pursuit so easily with a seriously injured and unconscious person.
Glancing at Li Xuanyi, who was still pale and unconscious lying on the flying boat behind him, Song Qingming gritted his teeth and took out a cyan porcelain bottle from his body, and poured out a blue pill full of spiritual energy.
This third-grade low-grade "Qing Yuan Dan" for healing was obtained by Song Qingming from participating in a trading conference when he was traveling in the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea decades ago. It has been treasured by him for a long time.
Seeing that the aura on Li Xuanyi's body was getting weaker and weaker, Song Qingming also ignored these external things at this moment, and immediately cast a spell decisively to send the "Qingyuan Pill" into Li Xuanyi's mouth.
After the elixir entered the body, as the power of the "Qing Yuan Dan" was slowly refined, Li Xuanyi's aura finally began to become more stable, and was no longer as weak as before.
Seeing that the elixir was working, Song Qingming slowly relaxed and showed a bit of relief. After all, it cost him more than 7,000 spiritual stones to obtain. This spiritual stone was finally not in vain. .
After controlling the flying boat away from the "Demon Sealing Valley", Song Qingming did not dare to stop. He took Li Xuanyi, who was still unconscious, and continued to head north, wanting to stay as far away from the Demon Sealing Valley as possible to prevent the "Tian Puppet Sect" Is there any secret method to track them down?
——
Half a month later, in a large city in northern Qingzhou.
Song Qingming, who was sitting on the second floor of a store selling elixirs, picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip, then took out a red spiritual fruit from his body and threw it to the person who was moving on his shoulder. Ice and fire dragon".
It has been almost twenty years since the "Ice and Fire Jiao" who followed Song Qingming for many years broke through to the realm of foundation building.
Although after advancing to the second level, its cultivation speed has obviously slowed down, and it is not as abnormal as before. However, after Song Qingming's careful cultivation in the past twenty years, its cultivation has improved very quickly. It is now far from the early stage of foundation building. The peak is not far away.
While Song Qingming was sipping tea and playing with the "ice and fire dragon" on his shoulder, he suddenly felt a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door. He quickly put his hand and put the "ice and fire dragon" directly into the spirit beast bag on his waist.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Song Qingming answered the knock, and then a short middle-aged man walked in with a smile on his face.
"Senior, I am Zhang Yuan, the manager of Yufeng Hall, a third-level lower-grade alchemist. I just heard from the shopkeeper that you have some high-level pills to sell. I came here to help you check the quality of the pills."
"Well! These pills were looted from a bandit two years ago. Take a look first. If the price is right, I will give them to you, so I don't have to go to the second store!"
After Song Qingming finished speaking, his hand suddenly moved, and four small jade bottles of different colors appeared immediately. He casually placed them on the table beside him.
"Haha! Please rest assured, the price of pills purchased by our store has always been the most fair in the market, and we will never dare to deceive you."
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he immediately smiled and stepped forward to pick up the jade bottles on the table, opened them one by one and looked at them carefully.
After a long while, Zhang Yuan took out one of the jade bottles, put it aside, and said to Song Qingming respectfully:
"Senior, this bottle of elixir seems to be used to cultivate corpses and corpse puppets. It is not easy to sell on the market. Our store has rules and cannot accept it. I hope you can forgive me.
I have looked at the other three bottles of elixir and there is no big problem. Here I estimate the price for you to be 15,000 spirit stones. Are you satisfied?"
Song Qingming was silent for a moment after hearing this, and smiled softly: "Okay, then let's do as you say, but I don't want those scattered low-grade spirit stones. They must all be replaced with medium-grade spirit stones. You should be able to do this!"
"Uh, I'm afraid there are not so many medium-grade spirit stones in the store now. Can you, senior?"
"If it's not convenient today, it doesn't matter. I'll come back another day!" Seeing that the other party showed a hint of difficulty and was a little difficult to decide, Song Qingming's face turned cold, and he put away the porcelain bottle on the table and stood up to leave.
"Senior, please give me a little more time. I will discuss with the shopkeeper and give you an answer right away." Seeing that Song Qingming was about to leave, Zhang Yuan hurried forward to stop him and said anxiously.
Seeing this, Song Qingming looked at him calmly and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay! I'll wait for you for another cup of tea."
After an incense stick of time, Song Qingming finally walked out of "Yufengtang" with a satisfied look.
"These pills have been sold successfully, and it's time to leave here next!"
After walking around the street again, Song Qingming came to an inn on the east side of the market and strode in.
"Sir, you are back." As soon as he entered the door, the innkeeper saw Song Qingming and immediately came forward to greet him.
Song Qingming nodded slightly and asked again: "I just left. No one came upstairs to look for me, right?"
"No, don't worry, I've been in the store all day today, and no one has been to your place."
"Well! I'm going to check out and leave later. Please count the spirit stones here first, and I'll be down in a while!" After saying that, Song Qingming went straight to the second floor.
After arriving at the innermost guest room of the inn, Song Qingming first carefully checked the restrictions he had set up at the door, and then pushed the door and walked in after seeing nothing unusual.
After taking a look at Li Xuanyi who was still unconscious on the bed, Song Qingming turned around and packed up the things in the room before coming to her side.
"It's been more than ten days, why can't she wake up?"
After Song Qingming stood by the bed and muttered to himself, he took out the square jade pendant that Li Xuanyi had given him before, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After escaping from the "Demon Sealing Valley" with Li Xuanyi that day, Song Qingming headed north all the way until he entered the territory of another sect that did not get along well with the "Tiangui Sect", and then he stopped and hid in this market.
These days, Song Qingming has also gone out many times and bought a lot of high-level healing pills in the market to treat Li Xuanyi's injuries.
Although he has stabilized her weak breath and helped her recover a lot of her internal vitality, for some reason, Li Xuanyi still has no signs of waking up, which makes Song Qingming, who has taken care of her for more than ten days, feel a little helpless.
In any case, he had promised the other party before that he would return this thing to her in person. But now Li Xuanyi has not woken up yet, and Song Qingming has no choice but to patiently treat her and wait for her to wake up.
After taking out a jade bottle from his body with a wave of his hand, Song Qingming poured out two golden pills from it and directly put them into Li Xuanyi's mouth, and began to transfer mana into her body to help her refine the elixir in her body.
Fortunately, because Li Xuanyi had previously displayed his divine power and killed Duan Longshan, Song Qingming, who had obtained his storage magic weapon, unexpectedly made a fortune and had enough spiritual stones to help Li Xuanyi buy these healing pills.
The pills he had just sold in the "Yufeng Hall" were actually all found by Song Qingming from Duan Longshan's storage magic weapon.
These pills were not used by Jindan cultivators for normal cultivation, and Song Qingming could not use them at all, so he took them all to the market to exchange for spiritual stones, and just exchanged some healing pills.
As an elder of a large Yuanying sect like the "Tiangui Sect", Duan Longshan's storage magic weapon certainly had more than just these things.
When Song Qingming opened Duan Longshan’s storage magic device two days ago, he was immediately surprised by the piles of spirit stones and various high-level spiritual objects in front of him.
On Duan Longshan alone, there were almost 60,000 spiritual stones, as well as various high-level elixirs, and countless spiritual talismans, magic weapons, and manuals of cultivation techniques, which really shocked Song Qingming for a while.
After a rough estimate, Song Qingming felt that the total amount was at least 200,000 spiritual stones, which was much more than the relics he found on Zhao Jibai in Tianyuan Sea that year, and it was definitely in line with the wealth of a Jindan peak cultivator from a large sect.
In addition, Song Qingming also found a very familiar "Yanling Water" and the secret method that Li Xuanyi had given them, as well as a white floating dust magic weapon, from Duan Longshan.
These were the things that Song Qingming had seen before, belonging to the old Taoist Cui Ping.
Seeing these things appear on Duan Longshan, Song Qingming could easily guess that after the old Taoist Cui separated from them, he was ultimately unable to escape and fell into the hands of the "Tiangui Sect" cultivators. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have died long ago.
In the world of immortal cultivation, it is common for cultivators who go out to adventure and search for treasure to encounter such things as being killed and robbed of treasure. Song Qingming has encountered this more than once in his many years of cultivation.
Who will benefit and survive in the end depends on personal luck and ability.
This time, if Li Xuanyi had not killed Duan Longshan directly at the last moment, it would still be unknown whether Song Qingming could escape the pursuit of the cultivators of the "Tiangui Sect".
Seeing the relics left by Cui Laodao, Song Qingming sighed that the other party was really unlucky, and there was no big wave in his heart.
Even though Song Qingming and his team have temporarily escaped danger, they killed a ninth-level Jindan elder of the "Tiangui Sect", and the other party could not fail to take action. Song Qingming still needs to leave Qingzhou before the other party finds this place.
After a cup of tea, Song Qingming finally helped Li Xuanyi refine the two healing pills in his body and raised his hand to take back his mana.
Just after he rested for a while, he was about to help Li Xuanyi up and take her away from here. Unexpectedly, Li Xuanyi, who had not moved for more than half a month, suddenly had a burst of emerald light on her body, which covered her body to form a shield.
"Hey! Is this the Xuanguan Armor?"
Seeing this familiar emerald light, Song Qingming immediately felt a sense of déjà vu.
However, just as he stood there with frowns and doubts on his face, Li Xuanyi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly made a whimpering sound, and then slowly opened her closed eyes.
Seeing that Li Xuanyi finally woke up, Song Qingming was very happy in his heart. He didn't care about other things, and hurriedly raised his hand to release a few formation flags around the room.
After quickly casting a low-level secret formation to isolate the sound and scene in the room, Song Qingming walked to the bed with a happy face.
Seeing Li Xuanyi open her eyes and looking at him with a smile, Song Qingming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fairy Xuanyi, that's great, you finally woke up!" (End of this chapter)
