“Let us hurry.” Xuanxuzi did not hesitate to fly towards the bank upon an escape-wind when he saw the Xiushe had been drawn away.
He had no favorable feelings towards Qi Lin and was repulsed on the other hand, itching to tear this brat apart. Although Chang’s fate was pitiable, since they had already reached the Nine Divine Gates, it was every man for himself.
A scorching arrow shot out and into the viscous swamp.
Xuanxuzi was startled. He saw that Hou Yi had brought out the Sunset Over Western Hill and was surprisingly preparing to slay the Xiushe.
“Hou Yi, there is no need for us to do anything superfluous.” Xuanxuzi promptly said, “This Xiushe is not easy to handle.”
Hou Yi’s gaze was ice-cold. Xuanxuzi had known her for a long time, and this was the first time he had seen her expression so resolute.
“Chang is our good little sister, how can we just watch her die without attempting a rescue. Xuanxuzi, Chang has cared so well for you in vain.” Shi Xuan reprimanded him, also using her powers. Her Flying Sword became a rain of sword-lights that descended.
“The Blue Sky Seal is the magic treasure you are so proud of, Xuanxuzi. Now that it has been swallowed by the Xiushe, can you really renounce it just like this?” Hou Yi coldly asked.
Xuanxuzi’s expression was tense. He looked at the Nine Divine Gates then back to Hou Yi’s eyes. Given the Ancient Arrow Monarch’s Sun-chasing Arrow, it would not be difficult for her to kill him now that he lacked the Blue Sky Seal.
Dammit, he had originally planned to cross the Nine Divine Gates first, then worry about the rest later. “Then Your Servant will trouble the two of you for protection while Your Servant summons the Blue Sky Seal.”
Hou Yi sneered. “They had best be unharmed.”
Xuanxuzi formed a hand seal and did not utter a word.
Meanwhile, Qi Lin and Chang had been swallowed together by the Xiushe into its gullet. The two of them clung tightly together as they fell down the Xiushe’s esophagus. No matter how Qi Lin used his magical energy or powers, he could hardly attack the Xiushe’s innards.
The Xiushe had the Bashe Gulps Elephants power, allowing it to eat magic treasures. Its internal structure was extremely unique, with its internal lining excreting a viscous liquid. This liquid had powerful corrosive properties capable of absorbing the power of any living thing it consumed.
Let alone Golden Core, even Primordial Infants could not escape this.
“Big Brother Qi Lin.” Chang’s expression was in great agony. The Xiushe’s internal lining began to compress the two together. The powerful pressure seemed to drop them into a ten thousand ton compressing machine, with the internal walls secreting their corrosive fluids non-stop.
Not good.
Qi Lin felt his Divine Intent was unable to penetrate; the Xiushe’s internal fluids were corroding even his thoughts.
Dual Modes Seal.
Qi Lin formed a hand seal. The Dual Modes Seal resisted the Xiushe’s pressure while he thought to summon Qi Qi from the Divine Nest.
But he was unable to accomplish even this.
Just at this moment, there was a blinding blue light inside the Xiushe. Upon a careful look, Qi Lin was astonished to see it was the Blue Sky Seal. Xuanxuzi was straining with all his might from the outside to summon the Blue Sky Seal, but the internal cavity’s fluids endlessly suppressed the blue light.
Although the Blue Sky Seal was unable to suppress the Xiushe, the powerful magical energy it emitted still gave Qi Lin a chance to catch his breath.
“Big Brother Qi Lin.” Chang’s consciousness was growing increasingly faint. The girl’s hands tightly clung to him, and a warmth appeared on her body. Then, several halos faintly appeared around them.
“This is?” Qi Lin was taken aback.
At the same time, the Xiushe was currently thrashing about over the swamp, forced out by the combined efforts of the group, but they were hardly able to injure it.
“Xuanxuzi, still not done?” Hou Yi shouted.
Xuanxuzi’s expression was stern as he chanted, bean-sized beads of sweat running down his face. “This Demon Beast is actually able to withstand even my ‘Truth Realization Chant,’ dammit.”
Xuanxuzi’s eyes emitted a chill. A Primordial Infant leapt out from his Niwan Palace to the top of his head; this blue Primordial Infant was indeed his own.
When the Primordial Infant appeared, all of his magical energy was completely unshackled, “The blue skies are as me, the seal descends with a turn of my hand.”
“Hè.”
“Sister Hou Yi.”
“En.” Hou Yi fully drew her bow and aimed at the writhing Xiushe. She shot an arrow that pounced towards the marsh like a long fire dragon.
This arrow bit down heavily like a set of sharp teeth.
Destined Skill – Fire Dragon Fang!
…
Qi Lin was enshrouded by Chang’s peculiar power. Endless warmth embraced the two, making their consciousnesses cloud up. The surrounding halos became increasingly distinct when just at this moment, a tremendous whistle came from inside the Xiushe.
A flaming arrow surprisingly tore deep into the Xiushe’s body like teeth, and intense Divine Energy became a tidal wave of fire that crashed down. At the same time, the Blue Sky Seal also received a response and grew larger in size.
In an instant, the internal walls were ferociously stretched taut. The Xiushe promptly dove deeper into the swamp in pain.
Qi Lin also immediately brough out his Dark Heaven magic treasure. He activated the Cloud-piercing Arrow and Heaven-shaking Bow together, and their power rumbled through the Xiushe’s insides. The Cloud-piercing Arrow shot towards the tail, piercing through the body.
Although the Xiushe had the Gulp Elephants power, it could not withstand the attack of the Dark Heaven magic treasure inside its body. Attacked inside and out, it was heavily injured. The Xiushe rolled through the marsh in agony.
Once its defensive abilities were breached, the legend of the Xiushe was thus declared destroyed. Qi Lin suddenly sensed that he could control the Blue Sky Seal. He immediately seized control of it using his thoughts and imbued magical energy. The Blue Sky Seal was a hundred zhang in size. The blue-colored seal finally pierced through the Xiueshe’s body under the power of Xuanxuzi’s Primordial Infant, immediately fragmenting it.
But the Xiushe did not die. A wisp of its soul wrapped around the Demon Core and attempted to flee. Qi Lin would not give it that chance. He activated the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Banner, absorbing this Demon Core.
Having obtained this Demon Core, Qi Lin was delighted. He picked up Chang and used the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape to fly over the swamp.
On the swamp, Hou Yi’s group waited anxiously. “The Xiushe was injured by Senior Hou Yi’s Ten Million Destinies. Your Servant also used the Truth Realization Chant to temporarily give the magic treasure to that young man to control. Whether or not they could escape all comes down to his own luck.” Xuanxuzi was back to normal. His Primordial Infant had returned to his body, but his expression was pale. Clearly, he had used up much of his power.
“I never imagined that Senior Hou Yi would expend Ten Million Destinies to save them. Chang really should thank Senior.” Xuanxuzi seriously said.
Hou Yi coldly glanced at him. Shi Xuan walked before her and asked about her condition in concern.
Everyone did not need to wait too long over the swamp. A figure breached the surface, and Qi Lin did not fail their expectations to escape.
“Sister Chang.” Shi Xuan immediately ran over and hugged the unconscious Chang.
“Did anything happen to you two while you were inside?” Hou Yi asked.
Qi Lin shook his head. Then, he flung something in his hand, returning the Blue Sky Seal to Xuanxuzi.
“Many thanks, Seniors, for your assistance. Your Servant will not forget this.” Qi Lin was grateful.
Xuanxuzi received the Blue Sky Seal and disdainfully said: “Since you will not forget, let us consider this repayment for your earlier request.”
Qi Lin smiled: “Your Servant will not raise it again.”
Xuanxuzi nodded in satisfaction. This brat was actually quite wise.
“Then the Xiushe is dead?”
“Escaped.”
“Pity.” Xuanxuzi clicked his tongue. To refine the Demon Core of a formidable Demon Beast like the Xiushe that could devour magic treasures would certainly produce a likewise powerful magic treasure.
“As long as you are unhurt. We go now.” Hou Yi turned about.
After passing through this dangerous marsh, they encountered no other hazards. Soon after, Chang also slowly regained consciousness. Shi Xuan asked her question as she pampered her, just like a sister, fearing Chang had been taken advantage of by Qi Lin.
They quickly arrived at the second Divine Gate. It was similar in construction to the first, with a Kaiming Beast guarding it.
The white-robed woman Lu Wu quietly stood in front of the gate, just like thousand year old black ice, cold and stern.
It seemed this second Divine Gate would not be so easy to enter.
Qi Lin cursed under his breath.
