146 . 2 – Predator
The spell was dispelled again! Xue Qilin understood this instantly .
At this time, the fire has rushed to before her eyes and swallowed the talismans floating in front of her .
However, this time the lass didn’t become distracted due to failing to cast a spell .
She picked up Empyrean Universe, and the large sword immediately turned into the “Shield of Black Tortoise” form and blocked in front of her . The torrent of fire immediately swallowed the lass’s figure .
Trapped in such a hot fire, anyone would be burnt into cinders in an instant .
However...
“Dammit, I didn’t expect that I would have such a day!”
Covered by a spherical true qi shield emitting smoke, Xue Qilin rushed out of the torrent of fire . josei
However, before she could catch her breath, several ice cones shot out of thin air .
“Would you cut it out!”
Xue Qilin lifted the reverse-grip and grabbed Empyrean Universe that has already reverted into a large sword, and then slashed out violently, and a ray of sword qi split the ice cones apart .
With this strike, for the first time, the spiritual qi belonging to Phecda stored in Empyrean Universe was used, and the dazzling sword ray violently slashed towards Xi He . The Heaven Realm contained within the ray of sword qi has faintly transcended the limits of the Heaven Realm .
Xi He raised her eyebrows and gave up the plan to meet the attack head-on . She pulled out her tails from the void and turned to avoid the dazzling ray .
At this moment...
“Flying Flames!”
Countless flame arrows appeared beside Xue Qilin out of thin air and shot out, covering a large area .
This spell was successfully cast this time .
Looking at Xi He who is constantly jumping and dodge in the air, Xue Qilin thought – it was really those damn tails .
A domain appeared again .
“Qian [1] as power, zhen [1] as form, Alkaid!”
The words of the incantation caused the lightning in the domain to form a spear .
Xue Qilin grabbed the spear tightly and assumed a throwing posture . Her eyes dyed gold are chasing Xi He, who is constantly changing positions .
“Lightning Cry!”
Then a ray flashed .
Xue Qilin predicted Xi He’s position after a dodge and threw the lightning spear . Electric arcs spread as if shock waves visible to the naked eye, while a blue-white ray tore through space and emitted a unique and sharp high-pitched sound .
“...!”
Although Xi He has noticed this fierce strike, but the lightning spear is extremely fast and accurate, giving her no room for evasion .
In the critical moment, she swung five of her tails, hit the lightning spear squarely, and broke it .
“...”
Xue Qilin narrowed her eyes slightly .
Although the whole process took place in an instant, but Xue Qilin did see five colors, namely green, white, red, black, and yellow, appear on the other party’s tails immediately before touching the lightning spear .
In the theory of magic, the five colors correspond to the five elements – wood, metal, fire, water, and earth .
... are her tails able to control the five elements? This idea suddenly sprouted in Xue Qilin’s mind .
She woke up to the situation just now .
The four spells Flying Flames, Windglide, Water Boundary, and the explosion of the flame dragon all failed . Only the ray of sword qi formed from pure true qi is an exception .
While using spells, in order to save on spiritual qi – namely true qi – inside her, Xue Qilin only uses true qi in the process of constructing and activating the spell models . While the spiritual qi that maintains the spell models – supports the power and effect of the spells – is drawn from the surroundings .
Of course, the spiritual qi that maintains the spell model can be completely replaced by true qi .
However, elemental spells are not only powerful, but they also consume a lot of true qi . Moreover, the true qi must be converted by additional spells into the corresponding elemental spiritual qi to maintain an elemental spell .
Even Heaven Realm masters cannot bear such consumption .
Under the current situation, spells using spiritual qi of the world cannot be conjured . But spells using true qi can be cast as before .
This means that spiritual qi cannot be gathered by spell models for some reason .
If Xi He’s... the Nine Lives Cat’s innate ability is to control elemental spiritual qi without relying on spell models, and if this control exceeds the control of Xue Qilin’s spell models, then everything can be explained .
Predator .
Xue Qilin recalled the wording Xi He used
She said that she is Xue Qilin’s predator . Is it because she has stronger control over the five elements than Xue Qilin?
Xue Qilin thinks that it is most likely the case . Although she is good at elemental magic, Xi He, who can control elemental spiritual qi, restrains her .
But since this is the case, Xue Qilin can only rely on true qi from now on .
No, even spells cannot be used .
Because after true qi is converted into elemental spiritual qi, it will also be brought under Xi He’s control .
... I’m basically fighting with a handicap! Xue Qilin clenched her white teeth secretly .
The loss of magic made her a little irritated and dejected .
Because this means that she has lost a greater part of her fighting power .
Next, there will be a bitter struggle .
Just when Xue Qilin was thinking so...
“It’s about time . ”
Xi He’s voice fell gently from the sky .
What does she mean? Xue Qilin raised her eyebrows .
“What are you trying to do?”
“This is our homeland, and you are invaders . ”
What will people do when their homeland is invaded?
There is only one answer .
Expel the invaders at all cost .
In other words, Xi He intends to expel all martial practitioners in Martial Demon Realm .
And this means that a fight is inevitable .
“Xue Qilin, don’t ask anything, don’t watch, don’t listen . Stay here quietly . ”
Xi He’s face distorted into a bitter smile .
“Please . ”
Why? Xue Qilin asked this subconsciously .
Her voice didn’t transmit to where it should have, but just echoed in Xue Qilin’s ears like an echo in a deep valley .
Because a fog emerged .
As if it has seeped out of empty space, a thick fog came from nowhere, obscured Xue Qilin’s sight, and wound tightly around her .
“What is this?”
Xue Qilin looked around and saw a vast expanse of white .
That is no ordinary fog .
The fog contains chaotic elemental spiritual qi, and it isolates sound, takes away colors, and deprives people of their sense of direction... no, it’s not that it’s impossible to discern directions, but that there are no directions .
In this space, everything is disrupted .
Xue Qilin tried to cast a spell, but the spiritual qi didn’t react, as if it is frozen .
“I’m trapped...”
Xue Qilin murmured . However, she couldn’t hear her own voice .
Everything is lost in here .
