Jiaozhen. The moonlight-like pearl’s gleam on the ocean surface was like a full moon.

That mysterious girl was completely heedless of the danger of an intelligent jiaozhen, but she was unfazed by that silver-light killing intent. She stepped past the shell and flew towards the jiaozhen itself.

Her hand formed a seal, and a purple sword-qi was drawn. That sword-qi was magnificent, like the stars above. Qi Lin had never seen such a thing before. That wide swathe of silver light of the jiaozhen essence floating in the moonlight rose ten zhang, forming an enormous sword to cut her. At the same time, the other jiaozhen shells also sensed reacted, firing beams of light.

The purple qi sword-light and silver demon-qi collided

A dream-like scene in the night.

Qi Lin wanted to know the identity of this mysterious woman and quietly stayed nearby.

The purple qi and sword-qi seemed to form the Big Dipper, vaguely manifesting the mystery of stars, breaking the jiaozhen’s demon qi. The jiaozhen spirit slightly opened the shell, which emitted a strange cry, almost like an infant’s sobs. It furiously sucked air, and the seawater gurgled. The inside of the shell seemed to contain pearls and shooting stars that hurtled towards the young woman.

Very evidently, this jiaozhen also sensed the pressure from the mysterious girl.

“Who is this girl? Why doesn’t she feel like a cultivator? But she doesn’t seem like a Star Name, a Divine Name?” Qi Lin surreptitiously analyzed this woman’s Realm. His thoughts slightly scanned her, surprisingly discover her to be like the ocean or the netherworld; her power was unexpectedly unfathomable. These depths were not at all a sign of how powerful her cultivation was but rather she was filled with a power that could not be perceived.

Whether it was a cultivator’s True Qi or magical energy or a Star Name’s Divine Energy, the woman seemed to possess them all.

She was like a Star and a Deity.

But even an Invested Deity Emissary could not possibly possess Divine Energy.

The jiaozhen spirit unleashed several dozen meteors. The mysterious girl’s thoughts shifted, and her hand seals shifted in sequence as she simultaneously brandished her hands.

Suddenly, the purple qi flared while the moonlight faded. Black clouds gathered over the ocean, and immediately afterwards, star after star shimmered into existence. These stars were like the starlights in the sky. They emitted a rumbling noise, and a heaven-shaking explosion echoed. These stars rained down like meteors upon the sea, churning the the waters. Heaven and Earth split. This might seemed to be the fury of Heaven itself, threatening to strike down the earth.

Bang, bang, bang.

The sea exploded, and a large number of jiaozhen were completely obliterated, revealing countless impure pearls.

The jiaozhen spirit’s silver light shooting stars were also defeated.

“This is a Destined Skill, how is this possible?” Qi Lin was stunned.

The might of this girl’s Destined Skill was formidable, surprisingly containing force that came from the heavenly stars.

The powerful thunder rumbled, shaking Qi Lin’s Divine Intent to the verge of collapse. It was like the spring thunder. The girl apparently also noticed someone snooping and used this Destined Skill to intimidate him, to scatter his spirit. Thunderclaps filled and descended from the sky, and Qi Lin withdrew his Divine Intent.

At this moment, that jiaozhen spirit’s demon qi emitted a gale. An enormous storm rose, surprisingly blowing all the stars and purple qi asunder. Then, the jiaozhen spirit suddenly soared. No one could have imagined that the jiaozhen spirit was capable of flight. The mysterious girl was shocked, and she hastily formed a circle with her fingers, surrounding the jiaozhen spirit. A lasso formed in the loop of her fingers, trapping the jiaozhen spirit. Having been captured, it immediately thrashed about. Swelling waves surrounded it, but it could not escape.

demon qi wrapped around the jiaozhen’s whole body, shimmering with blinding silver light. A moon seemed to breach the light circle’s bonds and shoot towards the girl.

Only then did Qi Lin notice that this jiaozhen’s entire body had ripple-like patterns, a series of circles. The shell was like crystal.

This jiaozhen spirit let out a strange scream. Waves surged over the ocean surface.

Seeing the girl was in some danger, Qi Lin could not continue to sit and watch. He rushed forth, moving towards the girl by using the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape. He grabbed the girl’s delicate body and pulled her behind him. Then, he formed a hand seal and ruthlessly attacked with Pixiu Power Palm.

The jiaozhen spirit collided with the palm, producing an enormous shock.

“This jiaozhen spirit is already at the end of its rope, do not allow it to escape into the sea.” The girl did not care for Qi Lin’s identity and immediately gave him a calm warning.

That jiaozhen stopped in midair. The demon qi over its whole body condensed into a clump that seemed to sprout wings.

“Dual Modes Seal!!”

Qi Lin activated the Dual Modes Seal, trapping it with activity and stillness, yin and yang, left and right.

The jiaozhen spirit fiercely struggled. The demon qi and silver light on its body violently attacked and rumbled, striking the empty space in all directions, showing the power of a landslide. Endlessly enormous power and a feeling of pressure pursued, pressing towards the pair’s souls.

So powerful!!

It was only one attack, but Qi Lin suddenly felt immense pressure.

Looking into the empty space, the swift and tremendous demon qi hurtled directly downwards. The girl was unfazed. She raised a hand and extended a finger.

Purple qi and sword-light pierced through Heaven and Earth, cleaving over.

The jiaozhen spirit struggled with all its might. Ray after ray of demon qi crashed like waves of water. Qi Lin and the young girl could not allow it to sink back into the ocean. They had no choice but to trap it. Several hundred bouts passed like this.

The jiaozhen spirit’s demon qi grew weaker and weaker.

Sensing its strength was lacking a bit, Qi Lin was delighted. He hastily worked his Ninth Deva True Qi and attacked.

His heavy fist was like a downpour as it thundered upon the jiaozhen spirit’s shell.

It emitted a muffled sound.

The mysterious girl glanced at Qi Lin, her eyebrows cocked, yet she remained aloof. She controlled her purple light that came from the stars to also attack the jiaozhen spirit. That jiaozhen spirit finally was at death’s door. Both halves of its shell suddenly opened without warning.

Then, a pearl more pure and brilliant than moonlight appeared in Qi Lin and the girl’s view.

That pearl was so beautiful, more limpid than water, more flawless than jade, brighter than snow.

When this pearl appeared, that emitted silver light carried a fantastical power that spread in all directions. Qi Lin and the girl’s minds were shaken. They felt each other’s souls were tightly wrapped by this silver light, entwined together.

“Ah, don’t look!!” The mysterious girl shrieked. She suddenly recalled the lover legend pertaining to jiaozhen spirits.

But it was already too late.

The jiaozhen spirit revealed its moonlight pearl, and the surrounding dozen li seemed to be immediately covered in white. The silver light surged over the sea. Qi Lin and the girl’s spirits intertwined, combining like an eddy, producing a kind of wonderful feeling.

“Hè.”

Just at this moment, a fiend qi suddenly descended from the sky. That fiend qi was incomparably baleful, surprisingly covering the whiteness in night. A crimson staff hurtled down from the nine firmaments like a meteor, striking the jiaozhen spirit.

With an infant’s whimper, the jiaozhen spirit’s shell immediately disintegrated.

That shining pearl was also flung out and caught tight by a small hand.

“What is this?”

Qi Qi looked at the pearl, a bit disdainful.

“Big Brother!!”

The moonlight dispersed. Qi Lin felt an unprecedented sense of ease. By the time he came to his senses, the ocean had already calmed, and the mysterious girl who was intertwined with his soul had already vanished.

“Shit…”

Qi Lin sensed that something extraordinary had just happened.
