Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World-Chapter 48: Never Withered

The black flames turned into dots and scattered around the 2 beastkins. There was no burning sensation, and they even felt a little cold. Even the grass on the ground had no effect. The 2 beastkins didn’t take it too seriously, trying to sweep away the black flames and attack Li Qingjun.

As a result, the black flames, which seemed to be unable to burn even grass, immediately ignited their arms. The heart-piercing burning sensation spread from the arms to the entire bodies. It felt just like when they were in the beastkin refining array.

The 2 beastkins roared wildly. The berserk beastkin aura surged out, forcing the black flames out of their arms. Even their burned flesh was forced out, dripping with blood.

Ye Ling clapped her hands and laughed, “It’s cooked!”

But she felt quite unfortunate.

This was Flying Serpent’s heavenly flame; her innate talent… Although her blood was thin and she couldn’t exert her real power, it was mainly because of her unhealed injuries. Otherwise, the effect of this flame would be more than that… It was a pity.

At this time, Li Qingjun’s silver spear had already arrived at the eagle beastkin’s face.

According to common sense, eagles were the nemesis of snakes. Li Qingjun didn’t know what the Flying Serpent was like, so she subconsciously chose to take over the eagle beastkin.

Ye Ling smiled at her, then her figure disappeared suddenly. When she reappeared, she took out a dagger out of nowhere and ran into the waist of wolf beastkin. She indeed could only hold off 1 beastkin, and she couldn’t do it for long. It would be over if her injury relapsed…

It seemed to be a 2vs2, but Ye Ling knew that they really couldn’t beat these 2 beastkins. Li Qingjun was ignorant and fearless, but how could she, Ye Ling, not know?

Why did I do such a stupid move with this Princess Reckless. If according to my own thoughts, I should have run away with my head in my arms…

Maybe I’m really a dumb snake.

The eagle beastkin tilted its head and avoided the whistling spear tip, then it slapped the spear. Li Qingjun was almost sent spinning by the slap. She stumbled on her feet, barely regaining her balance. She was horrified.

Is the strength difference… so big?

Looking with her peripheral vision, the figures of wolf beastkin and Ye Ling intertwined. She could almost only see 2 shadows shuttling. She couldn’t catch their specific movements at all.

Morphing Stage big beastkin and a self-practiced martial artist… actually have such outrageous gap.

Am I really a burden here?

In a daze, the eagle claw had already reached her throat.

Li Qingjun quickly retreated 3 steps, shook the spear tip, and swung out thousands of silver lights which formed a dragon shape. It was launched in a roar.

Following the burst of strong true qi, a ray of light lit up from her waist.

“Clang!“

The eagle beastkin also took 3 steps back. Its keen eyes looked quite shocked, “Where did this peculiar spiritual force come from?”

It didn’t have time to think about it. Li Qingjun’s spear was layer upon layer, giving it no room to breathe. In terms of skills alone, she could crush him. When she had the spiritual force to restrained its beastkin power, it really couldn’t underestimate her.

The eagle beastkin retreated a few steps again, avoiding Li Qingjun’s spear shadow that was tracing him. Suddenly, it shook and waved its arm with a roar.

A strong whirlwind rolled up, stirring flying sand and rock. The sharp whirlwind blew toward Li Qingjun like a blade. She crossed her spear to block it, and there was a “clang” sound. The soldiers lying in ambush not far away uttered several screams, seeming to be injured by the wind blades.

Li Qingjun’s silver spear whirled like auspicious snow, and the clanging sound was like beads falling on a jade plate. Her forehead was sweating profusely. The countless winds in the surroundings were like knives, capable of killing people!

How can a mortal be able to beat such a beastkin? Even if the brother comes, it will be tough fight for him, right?

.

The eagle beastkin had already approached, clenched its eagle claw into fist, and punched Li Qingjun’s lower abdomen.

Li Qingjun couldn’t handle it at all, so she thought to herself that it was over.

Unexpectedly, the expected severe pain did not come. A mace whizzed from a distance, smashing like a huge rock. The eagle beastkin swung its arm to block it, and the mace flew back in a whirl. A man rushed over, took the mace in mid-air, and jump attacked the eagle beastkin.

The series of actions was crisp and precise.

Qin Yi finally arrived!

The overwhelming momentum of the mace finally forced the eagle beastkin to retreat slightly. Even the wind blades were weakened a little.

“Qin Yi!” Li Qingjun continued to block the wind blades as she said in overjoy, “You’re back!”

Qin Yi said sharply, “Don’t be careless!”

Before the words were finished, a gray figure approached Li Qingjun swiftly and launched a palm on the waist. 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝘤𝘰𝘮

It was the wolf beastkin who finally got rid of Ye Ling’s entanglement and launched a swift sneak attack.

“Ugh…” Qin Yi desperately swept away the eagle beastkin and was about to rescue him, but then he was suddenly taken aback.

Although Li Qingjun was beaten so badly that she fell forward, her waist released a brilliance at the same time. The colorful brilliance burst out from the jade pendant and made the wolf beastkin let out a painful roar. Its human appearance faded, and it turned back into a giant blue wolf, howling into the sky.

Ye Ling, who was following closely behind, stabbed the dagger in its ass.

The howling sound became more shrill. The wolf trembled wildly, shrugging Ye Ling heavily into the courtyard wall. The courtyard wall collapsed completely, burying Ye Ling underneath.

Li Qingjun spurted out blood and staggered. Without even catching her breath, she turned around, launched the spear, broke through the heavy wind blades, and pierced into the mouth of the wolf beastkin.

The colorful light burst out from the wolf beastkin’s mouth, killing the wolf beastkin entirely.

The eagle beastkin was astonished. It no longer entangled with Qin Yi, turned into its original form, and flew away. I obviously had the upper hand, but why it ended up as such? What is that colorful brilliance?

I heard that Li Qinglin has a jade pendant that can dispel evil spirits? But why is it here?

There were dots of black flames in front of him, making it stop abruptly in the air. A black light was rushing at him like lightning.

The eagle beastkin turned his head angrily, “Are you really so ruthless to your fellow beastkin?”

Ye Ling’s disheveled figure appeared in the air. She said with her hands on her hips, “Now you know I’m super fierce!”

Qin Yi looked up at Ye Ling. Her small body was also covered in blood. She was not easy in the entanglement with the wolf beastkin just now. The previous injury showed signs of recurrence, but she still continued to pursue the enemy.

He didn’t say anything. He just rose into the sky with Li Qingjun.

At the same time, arrows shot up like rain in the courtyard.

The eagle cry resounded through the sky, and the eagle’s feathers rustled down all over the sky.

…………

Qin Yi kicked 2 beastkin corpses and said in a low voice, “It was so close.”

Li Qingjun tugged at him happily, “You came really in time. If it weren’t for your mace, I would have been caught almost.”

“Now you know you are weak? Do you still dare to be reckless? I told you to hide, but you insisted on going.” Although Qin Yi scolded, his expression did not mean it. Instead, he gently wiped the blood from her mouth and said in a low voice, “Anyway… it’s good that you are fine.”

They hugged each other and kissed. Ye Ling, who was covered in dirt and blood, crouched in the corner with her knees in his arms and remained still.

“By the way.” Panting, Qin Yi parted a little and asked, “Why is your brother’s jade pendant on you? It is really thanks to this thing.”

“My brother said that when others want to deal with him, they have already taken this into consideration. On the contrary, no one can guess I would have this. It really came into play as he expected.”

Qin Yi suddenly remembered what Li Qinglin said back then, “Flowers made of silk are also beautiful and not easy to wither.”

When he attacked the enemy camp, he didn’t even bring his own life-saving object with him, but he gave it to his sister.

No matter whether it was his self-confidence, his friendship, or his feeling that South Li Kingdom needed Li Qingjun as a spark, no matter what he said, he did what he said flawlessly.

A soldier hurried over and said loudly, “Crown prince asks Sir Qin for assist in the Longevity Temple.”

Li Qingjun wanted to go too, but Qin Yi stopped her and said, “You’re seriously injured. Stay here with Ye Ling to recuperate and don’t run around. I’ll go and have a look.”

Li Qingjun hesitated for a moment, knowing that she would only be a burden, so she took off the jade pendant and handed it to him, “Take the jade pendant with you. Dong Huazi has been running the Longevity Temple for many years, who knows what will happen.”

Qin Yi took the jade pendant and looked at the burning Longevity Temple. He took a deep breath and let go of his obsession today.
