However, Xue Qilin didn’t pursue the opponent .

  “You’re finally here! Little Phecda, sword!”


  “Understood!”


  Phecda recited a passage at once, and the white dragon form turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air .

  What emerged from it is a dark mechanical sword .

  Xue Qilin grabbed the hilt tightly, and then quickly turned back . At the same time, she injected true qi into the mechanical sword – Empyrean Universe . The sword body of Empyrean Universe extended left and right and turned into a huge shield .

  Ding…… Fired from far away, a hissing spiritual qi projectile slammed into Empyrean Universe .

  Different from the previous one, the spiritual qi this spiritual qi projectile contains transcends the Earth Realm . When it exploded, spiritual qi engulfed the petite Xue Qilin in an instant .

  Heaven Realm…… It must be Xi He! Xue Qilin swung the large sword and swept away the high-density spiritual qi fragments that are blocking her view .

  All of a sudden, she felt a chill come from behind ……

  behind!

  Xue Qilin turned around, and then her eyes immediately faced two purple beads .

  The lass recognized the master of these eyes .

  “.……!”


  With nine slender tails flowing behind her, Xi He suddenly appeared and threw herself in front of Xue Qilin . The spiritual qi projectile just now was a diversion used to confuse Xue Qilin’s ears and eyes . At the same time, the turbulent spiritual qi produced by the explosion interfered with her perception .

  “It really is you!”


  “I said I didn’t want to see you in Martial Demon Realm!”


  The air oscillated .

  As if the surface of a lake hit by a stone, air ripples rose in the empty space . Xi He’s fist pierced through the sound barrier and shot towards Xue Qilin’s chest .

  It is a blow without hesitation .

  Strictly speaking, magic can be classified into qi school . But compared to sword school, qi school has a weak point that cannot be ignored, that is, the body of practitioners of qi school is more vulnerable . If Xue Qilin is hit by Xi He’s punch, it won’t be limited to a few broken ribs .

  Scoundrel, she isn’t taking our past familiarity into account! As she watched the fist approach, Xue Qilin secretly scolded Xi He

  However, her reaction wasn’t slow .

  Xue Qilin hurriedly put the large sword horizontally in front of her chest to block the crushing punch .

  Boom……!

  The large sword issued a call, and a force pierced through the thick sword body and hit Xue Qilin’s chest .

  “Ugh……!”


  Xue Qilin groaned loudly and retreated by a considerable distance . Xi He pressed forward and unleashed a rapid barrage of firsts .

  “Hey, do you seriously want to take my life?”


  By virtue of Discerning Eyes’ excellent dynamic vision, Xue Qilin bobbed and weaved and evaded the barrage of fists .

  “I told you, I don’t want to see you in Martial Demon Realm . ”


  Xi He replied expressionlessly while guarding against Xue Qilin’s counterattack .

  “You’re really heartless! We have teamed up against ‘Asura’er’ the day before yesterday . ”


  “Whether it is the matter of the day before yesterday or Luotian Town, I’m very grateful to you . ”


  Xi He’s tone is sincere, but her fists don’t slow down .

  “Grateful my ass! Aren’t you trying your best to take my life right now?! Biting the hand that feeds you!”


  “That’s unrelated . I cannot tolerate you messing with my comrades . ”


  “Yo, we haven’t done anything yet . ”


  “But you are about, aren’t you?”


  Xue Qilin humphed .

  It’s not that they can’t communicate, but that their positions augur an inevitable conflict from the get go .

  One of them is a human martial practitioner, the other is a martial demon of Martial Demon Realm ……

  that’s all there is to it .

  “Explode!”


  Xue Qilin set off a spell .

  The true qi between the two compressed in an instant, and then exploded and pushed them apart .

  Xue Qilin took this opportunity to open the distance while looking down .

  The sword rays and flames that flicker from time to time indicate that Merak Temple’s people got also caught up in battle .

  There is a fiery figure traversing between the trees, and the sword in its hand, that is entangled by flames, is continuously colliding with a fangtian ji [1] .

  Qi Qiqi is fighting the Centaur martial demon .

  In addition, there are fierce sounds of metal striking metal and people shouting nearby . The two opposing sides are presumably Merak Temple’s disciples and Iron Armored Oxen Xue Qilin blocked previously .

  “You still have the time to get distracted?”


  The nine tails slashed through the cloud of dust .

  “Annoying!”


  Xue Qilin shouted and swung her sword .

  In the next moment, Xi He’s tails collided violently with Empyrean Universe, and sparks burst out .

  As if they are made of metal, the tails infused with true qi are incredibly hard . Empyrean Universe can’t cut into them .

  Xue Qilin tilted the sword in wanted to deflect the other party’s tails .

  But the other party did let her wish come true .

  Five of the tails suddenly wrapped around the sword like ropes and attempted to pull it away . The remaining tails wrapped around Xue Qilin’s limbs and restrained her movement .

  “Qilin, she wants to separate us!”


  Phecda’s indignant voice came from Empyrean Universe . From when she controlled Shui Yun’er, it can be inferred that Phecda hates when others try to separate her from her master .

  “I got it! I won’t let her have her way, so calm down!”


  Cold sweat is running down the lass forehead . She gripped the sword tightly so that Xi He won’t take Empyrean Universe away .

  Since the physique of martial demons is superior to that of humans, Xue Qilin is naturally slightly weaker than Xi He in terms of physical strength . She is trying her best to keep her balance and prevent Phecda from moving towards the other party .

  As for the shackles on her limbs, she has no spare time to try and break free .

  The situation is in a stalemate .

  Then Xi He’s figure emerged from the cloud of dust .

  When she saw the thing in Xi He’s hand, Xue Qilin narrowed her eyes .

  Xi He’s hand is brewing a true qi projectile . True qi projectiles are highly compressed true qi with the purest destructive power . Therefore, its power is not low . If Xue Qilin suffers a direct hit, she may end up with a big hole .

  “Are you forcing my hand?”


  “I don’t believe you have room to be lenient, do you?”


  Indeed, Xue Qilin hasn’t exerted her full strength yet .

  Although it looks like she has been suppressed by Xi He from the beginning, but she has never really retaliated . She still has ample true qi . Additionally, she hasn’t extend the circulation of true qi into Empyrean Universe and hasn’t activate the magic array engraved on Empyrean Universe .

  “If you are being lenient in consideration of our relationship…… then let me tell you this . Since the moment you stepped into Martial Demon Realm, we became enemies . ”


  Xi He is serious – after understanding this almost intuitively, Xue Qilin closed her eyes and sighed .

  In the end, is it due to our different positions that we must face each other?

  “Then don’t blame me……”


  Xue Qilin cannot be delayed here by Xi He .

  The people of Merak Temple are still fighting the martial demons down below .

  The people she cares about are caught in a bitter struggle .

  Xue Qilin’s face gradually became sinister .

  Her lips twisted into an inconceivable arc, giving off the feeling that her face has split in two .

  “I have a stupid cat in front of me . ”


  Unfathomable words escaped her full lips .

  “With its claws drawn, extended its paw to scratch me . How should I respond to this?”


  Xi He silently listened to Xue Qilin for no reason . She knows that the stupid cat the other party is speaking about is referring to herself .

  Xue Qilin opened her eyes .

  Violent fighting spirit is surging in the abyss of the gold eyes .

  “Naturally, I’ll catch and spank it!”


  The lass revealed a queer smile .

  Then……

  Something is different .

  It is grandeur .

  Xue Qilin’s grandeur is rising steadily, and the complex patterns on the large sword’s sword body began to glow .

  “Break!”


  The sound of fabric tearing erupted .

  A shock wave mixed in with electric arc spread from Xue Qilin . Unable to bear the force from the shock wave, Xi He’s tails made tense sounds, indicating that they are about to be snapped .

  “Ugh……”


  Xi He released her tails from the pain, and the shock wave pushed her way .

  At this moment……

  The shackles imposed on Xue Qilin were undone violently ……

  the impasse was broken .
