Chapter 171: 171

171 – Dragon Vein

“...”

Xue Qilin narrowed her eyes, silent .

... was caught .

Empyrean Universe, which has a crazy amount of lightning winding around it, was caught — Jialan caught it with her bare hands .

Jialan sandwiched Empyrean Universe between her palms, which are shrouded in a gold radiance, before it could reach her chest . Although the momentum of Heaven Universe has yet to die out, but it can’t move an inch forward .

The two parties are equally matched .

However, Xue Qilin has already anticipated this .

“Little Phecda, break!”

After doing her utmost to shout, Xue Qilin fell to the ground .

At the moment when her voice sounded, Empyrean Universe absorbed the lightning .

Then, the blue-white light disappeared .

— Empyrean Universe also disappeared .

It was replaced by scattered fragments of light .

A tiny gap finally appeared in the gold light covering Jialan . Although the gap isn’t large, and the exposed area is intact, but it does exist .

Probably because it has exceed her expectations, Jialan stared blankly at the gap at her chest .

It seems that Imperishable Vajra Body was broken . But this isn’t enough, Asura’er isn’t injured yet .

Still, a chance of winning has presented itself .

Only now, that a gap in Imperishable Vajra Body appeared and she is distracted, can Asura’er be injured .

“Xihe!”

“I know!”

Treading on air, Xihe rushed towards Jialan .

The nine tails twisted into one and the sharp tip filled with metal spiritual qi .

“I said, you’re looking down on me — on us!”

The tails twisted into one shot out .

They tore open the atmosphere and, wrapped by cold radiance, approached the gap at Jialan’s chest .

“... broken! Although I didn’t go all out, but for it to be able to break Imperishable Vajra Body...”

Jialan muttered to herself . She seems like she can’t believe the fact that Imperishable Vajra Body was broken .

Shocked, she didn’t notice the silver-white tails twisted into one right in front of her .

— no, she did notice .

The tails stopped abruptly .

They were caught by an empty hand of Jialan, who hasn’t lifted her head, unable to move .

“Ha-ha... ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”

Xue Qilin suddenly had a bad premonition and shouted at once

“Xihe, hurry –”

A splash of blood stopped Xue Qilin’s voice and splattered on Jialan’s face .

Jialan tore off five of the nine tails, and the nine-tailed silver cat cried out in pain . Then, she was sent flying back by a spin kick from Jialan .

— tore off the tails... Xue Qilin was stunned for a moment . But she soon recovered and set out to rescue Xihe .

Jialan licked the blood that fell on her lips .

“Ha-ha! It’s fun, real fun!”

Jialan’s voice struck Xue Qilin at the same time as a large gold palm print .

Without a weapon in her hand and without time to dodge — the palm print’s speed is too fast, much faster than before — Xue Qilin could only cross her arms in front of her and block the opponent’s fierce palm strike .

“Ah!”

The sound of bones breaking rose .

Majestic true qi seeped into Xue Qilin, then finally left from the back, shot far away, and made a large palm-shaped hole in a rock wall .

The internal organs, as if they were flipped, transmitted bone-piercing pain .

Xue Qilin, who fell to the ground, felt like she’s going to be torn apart and spat out blood .

Blood stained the ground red .

The lass, enduring the pain, looked up at Jialan .

Jialan is still there . Holding her belly, she plopped on the ground with her butt, laughing

— can’t win... This is a Grandmaster? A feeling of despair suddenly struck Xue Qilin .

Am I going to die? Here? Xue Qilin gritted her teeth and propped herself up, swaying . Xihe, who fell a considerable distance away, tried to prop herself up several times, but to no avail .

Unwilling, unwilling! Xue Qilin feels like crying . Not because of the pain or the fear of death, but because she is unwilling .

Unwilling to die at Asura’er’s hands .

Because it carries no meaning .

This way of dying is meaningless .

But what if she’s unwilling? Xue Qilin can do nothing about it .

The gap in strength is too great .

Everything is meaningless in the face of overwhelming power .

The reason why Grandmasters are Grandmasters, why they are feared by countless people, is because of their overwhelming power .

Just when despair was about to swallow her, Xue Qilin discovered something .

At the place where Empyrean Universe fell, the ground cracked . Highly concentrated spiritual qi erupted from between the cracks alike steam .

Could it be that — could it be that it’s...! A possibility suddenly appeared in Xue Qilin’s mind .

“... but, isn’t it too coincidental?”

Xue Qilin murmured and doubted her guess .

But soon, she shook her head and cast her doubts away .

No matter what, I can only give it a try! With this thought, Xue Qilin took a deep breath .

“Little Phecda, blow up the ground!”

Her voice rang in the sky and reached Phecda .

The magic lines on Empyrean Universe shone brightly .

With an ear-splitting blast, the ground around it collapsed instantly .

Then, a beam of light spewing out from the collapsed ground filled everyone’s field of vision, drove out the darkness, and swallowed Jialan in an instant . Empyrean Universe flew away from the area covered by the beam of light at once . But it was still hit, and was hurled far away, before it finally returned to Xue Qilin’s hand .

The torrent of light submerged Jialan’s wails, pierced through the clouds, and reaching the depths of the sky .

At this moment, it is as bright as day .

“... it really is a dragon vein . ”

With a hand in front of his eyes, Xue Qilin gazed at the pillar of light from between her fingers and murmured to herself

Just as there are qi passageways, magic circuits, and other spiritual qi channels in the human body, there are also spiritual qi channels underground .

People call them “spirit veins” or “dragon veins” .

They act as huge spiritual qi channels and form the world’s spiritual qi cycle . The concentration of spiritual qi contained therein is even higher than that of the spiritual qi compressed by martial practitioners . It has extremely pure destructive power and can easily destroy a medium-sized city .

Even though Jialan is a Grandmaster, but once she is hit squarely by the spiritual qi from a dragon vein, she won’t be able to escape unscathed .

As the torrent of spiritual qi continued to erupt into the sky, the concentration of spiritual qi in the surrounding area rose rapidly . It gradually became a place not suitable to stay for a long time .

As for the reason behind this, it is very simple . When the concentration of spiritual qi exceeds a certain threshold, the resulting spiritual pressure will crush everything .

On the other hand, in an environment with a high concentration of spiritual qi, it is also extremely dangerous to use magic, which can easily lead to the phenomenon known as “spiritual explosion” . In other words, it is equivalent to lighting a match in a room full of gas .

In any case, Xue Qilin thinks that leaving here as quickly as possible is the best option .

She propped her sore body up and slowly walked towards Xihe .

At this time, Xihe has reverted to her human form and stood up . There are numerous scratches and abrasions crisscrossing on the naked, fair skin . But the most unbearable sight are the five torn off tails . The blood from the torn off tails stained the ground .

“Xihe, we have to leave immediately –”

When she spoke till here, Xue Qilin stopped in her steps and went silent .

Because she heard Jialan’s voice .

“– where are you going?”

Impossible! Impossible! Xue Qilin turned her head abruptly .

At the end of her line of sight, there is a huge flow of white light .

However, inside the pure white shade, there is a faint gold radiance mixed in .

Slowly, a girl with long blond hair walked out of the pillar of light .

She looks like she’s 17 or 18 years old .

The clothes are tattered . No matter how you spin it, they can only be described as rags . The well developed body, which is a tragic sight, is full of bruises, and the sweet face is twisted into a fierce expression .

It’s Asura’er .

She altered her form in order to increase her output of true qi and resist the impact of spiritual qi .

Monster . In a flash, this word emerged in Xue Qilin’s mind .

“... terrible... monster . ”

Seeing Jialan slowly approach, Xue Qilin felt like she fell into an ice cave, and her face tensed up .

How do you beat this monster? She, who could even withstand the power of heaven and earth, fundamentally cannot be beaten! Xue Qilin slumped on the ground .

Even if she wanted to give her all again, how can she fight with her battered body?

— a ray of hope emerged in the pure despair .

In the world of white light, there are even purer white radiances .

Several pure white radiances came from afar, gathered on Jialan’s right shoulder, and turned into an arrow of light that stabbed there .

“Beiming Youyu...”

Jialan looked at the pierced through right shoulder in astonishment . Blood stained her skin and clothes red .

It’s her! Xue Qilin looked at the arrow .

Consequently, a radiance 10,000 times more intense than before engulfed her vision .

Then, came a shock wave .

Xue Qilin, who was blown away again, hit the ground who knows how many times .

She feels like she’s going to fall apart .

However, it was not the body that fell apart, but the consciousness .

“Sorry . It’s been hard on you, you guys . ”

In the blurred vision, “pure white” leaned forward next to Xue Qilin .

“... how’s Xihe?”

“She’s fine . ”

After learning that Xihe is safe, Xue Qilin heaved a sigh of relief . Honestly, Xue Qilin doesn’t really know how much impact the torn off tails have on Xihe .

Anyhow, for this gall to come out at the last minute, is it to see a spectacle! Xue Qilin couldn’t help but complain secretly .

“Beiming Youyu, you’re a real jerk...”

The gloomy feeling in her heart turned into words that she blurted out . Xue Qilin used her last bit of strength to scold the other party .

“Yeah... I’m late . ”

The pure white girl showed a rare apologetic smile .

She put the bow in her had aside, then picked up Xue Qilin’s head and moved it to her lap, letting her head rest on it .

“Now go and sleep . When you wake up, you have to honor your promise and thank me for my good will...”

Who cares! Despite being a little sullen, the soft sensation from her head still put Xue Qilin at ease .

Beiming Youyu’s legs are warm and comfortable .

Xue Qilin’s consciousness drifted, and she tasted the warmth of the moment .

The eyelids suddenly became heavy .

Her consciousness sank into darkness .
