Chapter 200 Li Xuanqi: Junior Brother Wang Xiu, Is He Sprinting With Me As His Target? (6700 Words)
Chapter 200: Li Xuanqi: Wang Xiu Junior Brother, is he sprinting towards me as his target? (6700 words)
Wang Xiu continued forward.
Following the same pattern, he suppressed nearly a hundred Void Beasts along the way.
Each time, he caused a huge commotion.
But unfortunately, there were too few Void Beasts at the King level. Since the day he obtained the Wind and Fire Five Bird Fan, Wang Xiu had only encountered one.
It was a Void Demon Scorpion.
The scorpion tail was nearly a thousand zhang long, standing upright and covering the sky, truly terrifying.
In the end, Wang Xiu grabbed its tail, played a few rounds of windmill in the sky, and then smashed it down forcefully, shattering it.
However, what burst out this time was not a Law Treasure.
Instead, it was a half-torn scroll.
It emitted a faint green light, with a dim aura. It recorded many ancient poisons, venomous creatures, and poison-related Divine Abilities, all of which were ancient inheritances with extraordinary power.
It is said that the founder of this Poison Scripture once used the poison techniques recorded in this scripture to wipe out an entire divine kingdom, even the existence comparable to gods could not escape!
It's unclear whether it's bragging or not.
But unfortunately, it cannot be verified because this scroll is only half complete, only detailing the methods of detoxification.
Wang Xiu speculated that the truly terrifying poison-related Divine Abilities should be recorded in the upper scroll.
They have long since disappeared.
But it doesn't matter, it's better than nothing. When traveling in the martial world, who doesn't get their shoes wet?
Flipping through the contents of this torn scroll when there's nothing else to do is also very valuable to Wang Xiu.
Maybe one day he will use it?
...
Wang Xiu has been moving forward along the vague direction indicated by his spiritual imprint.
However, he doesn't know what happened to the majority of the Three Purities army. They were originally moving towards him, coming from both directions, but suddenly turned and went further away.
It is estimated that, like many geniuses here, they were chased by Void Beasts and lost their way.
Finally, one day, the spiritual imprint completely lost its sense.
The main army is already far away from him, and there is no feedback at all.
However.
He is not overly worried either.
Based on the previous reactions of the spiritual imprint, the majority of the Three Purities disciples have landed within a small range and should be able to regroup in a short time.
The strength of his senior brothers and sisters has made rapid progress in these few months. As long as they can meet, they shouldn't encounter any danger.
"It seems that I have to go deeper first!"
Wang Xiu pondered and gave up on the foolish method of continuing to search for Jiang Ling'er and the others.
All the geniuses who entered the Void Ancient Road were scattered and teleported to the outskirts of this small world. The deeper they go, the more dangerous and deadly it becomes, but there are also many treasures that do not exist in the outskirts. All geniuses who seek invincibility will not miss them.
Going deeper, they will meet sooner or later.
Having made up his mind, Wang Xiu changed direction, stepped on his flying sword, and swiftly flew through the air.
On this day, while Wang Xiu was rushing on the road, he suddenly sensed a fierce battle fluctuation coming from a distance, with an extremely astonishing momentum.
Along the way, Wang Xiu had seen too many battle scenes that were not enough to make him stop.
But this time was different. The fluctuations of the battle were particularly intense. In the distance, there was a blazing light, even a holy aura permeated the air. It was definitely a top genius making a move, using a Saint Weapon!
Wang Xiu approached.
The battle in the sky was fierce.
A woman in white stood on nothingness, surrounded by brilliance.
Her forehead was full and white, with a melon seed face, curved eyebrows, and bright eyes like autumn water, emitting a spiritual radiance.
She appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with fair skin and a tall figure. Her snow-white long dress outlined graceful curves, incredibly beautiful.
Her figure was perfect, with straight and slender legs, graceful and charming.
Standing in the void, two dazzling lights revolved around her, emitting a terrifying aura like the sea, like stars surrounding the moon, like a heavenly maiden descending to earth.
"Li Xuanqi?" Wang Xiu was surprised. This Shu Mountain Saintess had a well-known reputation, her portrait was everywhere, and even in Vermilion Bird City, although he had not interacted with Li Xuanqi, he had seen her from a distance. It was not difficult to recognize her.
The title of Saintess was well-deserved.
Li Xuanqi was not only extremely beautiful, but her cultivation was also astonishing. Like most of the top geniuses on the Gold Core Ranking, she was suppressing her own strength and had not reached the Nascent Soul stage.
But the terrifying aura emanating from her far surpassed many Nascent Soul experts, making people tremble.
Especially the two rays of light revolving around her.
With a flicker, countless runes appeared, a peerless sharpness that could easily cut through even the void, unmatched in attack.
One aura was heavy like the sun, emitting boundless power, forming a mysterious light like a heavenly wall, protecting Li Xuanqi on both sides.
It was the Shu Mountain Saint Weapon, the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel.
But such a top genius was currently in a passive state.
Because her opponent was a king-level Void Ancient Beast.
It was a giant turtle with a black jade-like shell on its back, as if there was a towering peak that reached the sky, unattainable and extremely heavy.
With just a glance, Wang Xiu knew that this giant beast had an extraordinary background, and there must be amazing treasures inside its body, surpassing several king-level Void Beasts he had hunted before.
Its defense was astonishing.
Even though Li Xuanqi's Sun and Moon Golden Wheel was unmatched in attack, with her current cultivation, it was difficult for her to fully unleash the power of the Saint Weapon. She could only leave marks on the turtle shell of the giant turtle.
It was difficult to harm its foundation, but it only made the giant turtle more enraged.
Although its movements were slow, every strike contained a tremendous force that seemed to open up heaven and earth, capable of shaking the sky.
"Roar!"
It roared to the sky, and terrifying waves rose from the void, turning into frightening water columns, stirring up the sky.
Countless runes shattered, and waves of destruction emerged in the world, like white waves crashing against the entire void.
The void was shattering, making it difficult to breathe.
Li Xuanqi's expression became serious as she formed hand seals. The Sun and Moon Golden Wheel emitted a towering mysterious light, like a golden sun, protecting Li Xuanqi within it.
Buzzing.
The surface of the golden sun constantly rippled, like a flickering candle in the wind, swaying continuously.
Li Xuanqi's face turned pale, but she persisted.
Boom!
Finally, the terrifying waves subsided. Li Xuanqi retracted the brilliance of the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel, her beautiful face pale.
Although the Saint Weapon was powerful, it consumed a tremendous amount of energy.
She had been fighting here for a long time and was about to reach her limit.
The giant turtle across from her remained unmoving like a mountain, too tough to be bitten through.
"Should we give up?"
She felt the urge to retreat, originally intending to use this ancient beast in the void to temper her own path, but the opponent's strength far exceeded her imagination.
Just then,
A clear and bright laughter suddenly came from afar.
"Hahaha, great! Sister Li is truly worthy of being the Shu Mountain Saintess. With only the cultivation of the Gold Core Realm, she can actually fight against such a ancient beast to this extent. She is truly the unparalleled celestial woman who single-handedly suppresses countless geniuses in the South State. Admirable!"
Li Xuanqi turned her head abruptly and saw a handsome and seemingly ethereal young man standing on a mountain peak, looking at her with admiration in his eyes.
Is it him?
She naturally had an impression of Wang Xiu.
And the impression was deep.
In the Vermilion Bird City, amidst laughter, he dispersed the devastating thunderstorms, shocking everyone.
Later, in the ancient dense forest, she thought she was ahead of everyone and could sweep through the many precious medicines and spiritual fruits in the forest, but she didn't expect that countless opportunities were taken by others.
Later, she learned from her elders that this descendant of the Three Purities Divination Lineage was able to move freely on the second day of entering the holy realm!
She didn't know what method he used.
In Li Xuanqi's eyes, this beautiful young man was truly mysterious and unfathomable, with unimaginable depth, not inferior to any genius on the Gold Core Ranking.
But he never acted arrogant in front of top geniuses, and even with an ordinary cultivator, he could chat and laugh freely.
It was as if he could become the confidant and friend of everyone, talking about anything.
"Unfortunately, although Sister Li has extraordinary talent, the ancient beast in front of us has already surpassed our realm. It is not something we can contend with. Sister, please retreat quickly and don't risk your life!" Wang Xiu spoke again.
Li Xuanqi had been praised and cared for before.
How much of a celestial woman was she?
She had suitors like fish in the river, as numerous as cow hair, able to rank from the peak of Shu Mountain to the eastern road of the Three Purities.
But for some reason, Wang Xiu's humble words, coupled with his incredibly sincere gaze, seemed to hit a certain point deep in Li Xuanqi's heart all at once.
It made her rise with a soaring fighting spirit.
Boom!
She took a deep breath and swallowed a pill in her hand.
Her mana quickly recovered and filled her body. Her full chest rose and fell deeply, her face radiant like jade, emitting a holy light, with a rosy glow rising to the top, ethereal like a fairy. A confident and beautiful expression appeared on her face once again.
"Thank you for your concern, Junior Brother Wang Xiu. It's just an old turtle. Even if it is an ancient exotic species, how can it harm me?!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the host for gaining +99 mana!]
Wang Xiu's face showed a look of astonishment. "Could it be that Sister Li can still fight?"
"Heh, not just fight, if I didn't intentionally suppress my cultivation, I could take its turtle head within ten moves!" Li Xuanqi's voice was clear and melodious, like celestial music. Her figure flashed and turned into a celestial light, flying towards the giant turtle.
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the host for gaining +99 mana!]
The Moon Gold Wheel flew out again, slashing out countless terrifying blades of light, as if cutting the void into a dense net.
Boom boom boom!
Terrifying fluctuations surged and landed on the giant turtle, leaving deep scars, causing the giant turtle's movements to pause.
But it is still difficult to harm the fundamental of Da Ao.
Da Ao lifted its pillar-like giant foot to counterattack, causing a huge storm and forcing Li Xuanqi to retreat again.
Li Xuanqi's face showed bitterness.
It's over, I just made a mistake.
This Da Ao is too strong, even with drugs, I am not a match!
I shouldn't have rushed...
She glanced at Wang Xiu in the distance, with a resentful beauty. This junior brother Wang Xiu is like a troublemaker, his sweet words are too powerful, making people fall for it.
I can't listen to her anymore.
If I go up again, it will be bad!
Just at this moment.
Wang Xiu sighed, "Great! Li Shijie, you truly deserve your reputation. Wang has been practicing late, always taking you as a role model. Just now, I was full of motivation and was able to make a brave charge. Today, I can see the true face of Li Shijie without any regrets..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xuanqi's body trembled, her ears turning red.
I, am I his goal?
"But Shijie, you have already done well. Being able to fight against this Da Ao until now, you are truly deserving of the top spot on the Gold Core list. It's better to retreat quickly and prioritize your own safety!"
Li Xuanqi's body trembled, as if restraining something.
No, I can't!
I can't fall for it!
"Ah—"
She shouted, taking a step in the void with her long and straight legs, shooting out hundreds of miles. Her beautiful face was filled with madness, and a vast power poured out from within her.
No matter what, let it be. If I die, I die!
Wang Xiu junior brother charged towards me as his goal. Now that I am in front of him, how can I show a timid side and shrink back? Wouldn't that disappoint him?
Fight, keep fighting!
I must face difficulties head-on.
"Wang Xiu junior brother, the word 'retreat' does not exist in my dictionary! Look closely, today I will let it know what it means to choose death with dignity!"
She radiated with brilliance, as if she had been nourished by divinity, bravely moving forward and continuing to battle with Da Ao.
[Ding!]
[A person nearby is bragging wildly, triggering a critical hit, reaching the system's high slot. Congratulations to the host for gaining +297 mana and +297 mana quality!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Great Principle Supreme Divine Consciousness" Ultimate Perfection Experience Card!]
Reached the high slot!
Finally reached the high slot!
Wang Xiu smiled, not in vain did he and Li Xuanqi work so hard to brag about each other. Being the top of the Gold Core list is truly different!
This high slot came fast and accurately!
...
Da Ao looked at Li Xuanqi who was charging up again and was dumbfounded.
Its big head was full of confusion.
No, is this human woman crazy?
What deep grudge and hatred is there? Why are you fighting so desperately?
Even if you can't win, you still want to fight forcefully?
What stimulated you?
The huge head of the turtle turned and looked at Wang Xiu.
That human seems to have some kind of unique means to constantly enhance this woman's fighting spirit!
Humans are really annoying!
Roar!!!
It finally flew into a rage, and countless runes surged out of its turtle shell, densely packed, with brilliant light soaring into the sky.
A huge wave, thousands of feet high, surged in the sky and fell down.
The void shattered.
The earth cracked, revealing countless cracks dozens of feet wide, and terrifying water columns gushed out from the ground like tentacles, attacking Li Xuanqi.
Li Xuanqi's face changed.
The void around her seemed to be imprisoned, making it difficult to dodge. The towering waves contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. Even if she had the Sun Gold Wheel to protect herself, the odds of survival were slim if she was hit.
At this moment, Wang Xiu's voice sounded again.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll help you!"
His white clothes fluttered, and in an instant, Wang Xiu appeared in front of the giant turtle and raised his hand to strike.
Boom!
Countless runes exploded in the sky.
The giant turtle, with its huge body like a mountain, trembled, and its immovable body was lifted. Its forelimbs were slightly raised, revealing its snow-white belly armor.
Then, he continued to strike, countless runes shattered, and unimaginable power continuously struck the void.
The towering waves were forcibly separated and passed by Wang Xiu and Li Xuanqi.
That was close!
Li Xuanqi saw it and her pupils contracted.
Sure enough, Wang Xiu was hiding his true strength. Just with these few moves, his strength was not weaker than hers, and...
Li Xuanqi could feel that Wang Xiu was still holding back and had not displayed all of his techniques.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The giant turtle went into a frenzy, standing upright, its head deep in the depths of the void, like an ancient demon god. Then it suddenly lowered itself, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to sink.
Wang Xiu remained calm and took out the Wind and Fire Five Bird Fan, fiercely fanning it.
The fierce wind howled, and the terrifying gusts swept through the void, like a raging fire, sweeping across the belly of the giant turtle.
"Roar!"
The giant turtle cried out in pain, its belly armor burned and scarred, and its entire body was overturned by the hurricane.
Li Xuanqi's gaze suddenly fixed on a certain spot.
At this moment, the giant turtle roared to the sky, exposing its belly. Although it was protected by a hard turtle shell, Li Xuanqi discovered that all the power and runes emanating from the giant turtle at this moment originated from a certain spot on its belly.
It was like the source of all power, the convergence of all runes and ancient patterns.
It was emitting the most intense light.
She realized that this might be the giant turtle's fatal weakness.
She didn't have time to think too much. Her black hair scattered, and vast magical power surged through her body as she activated the Moon Gold Wheel and slashed out a terrifying edge, directly aiming at that spot.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Moon Gold Wheel strikes the sky, its silver edge covering the heavens and the earth.
The Great Ao immediately senses an unprecedented danger, and its massive body trembles.
It instinctively raises its pillar-like feet, trying to protect its vital points, but its movements are clumsy, how can it compare to the extreme speed of the Moon Gold Wheel?
In an instant.
Crack!
The whole world freezes, cracks emerge from the abdomen of the Great Ao, then spread rapidly throughout its body, and finally collapse with a bang, turning into countless shattered crystals, dazzlingly beautiful.
"It's over..."
Li Xuanqi's beautiful eyes are full of disbelief. She actually won. Such a terrifying king-level Void Beast died under her and Wang Xiu's joint efforts.
It leaves her somewhat stunned.
"Clap clap clap!"
Wang Xiu comes to her side, clapping his hands and smiling, "Senior Sister Li, you're amazing. This strike was fierce and accurate, directly ending the Great Ao!"
Li Xuanqi stares at him, her gaze complex, "Thanks to you, Junior Brother. If it were just me, I definitely couldn't have done it!"
She speaks from her heart.
Although Wang Xiu's actions were brief, each strike was crucial, effortlessly executed. In the end, he even used that unknown powerful Law Treasure to flip the Great Ao over, exposing its fatal weakness.
"Senior Sister, there's no need to be modest. Even without me, you would have been able to do it!" Wang Xiu waves his hand and smiles, "Let's not be modest here, Senior Sister. Go and take a look. There must be a precious treasure inside the Great Ao!"
Li Xuanqi realizes and turns her head to look.
Amidst the rain of shattered crystals.
A cluster of green light quietly floats, faintly revealing a lively movement, as if it were a living thing.
Li Xuanqi steps forward with her slender legs, lightly touching the void, and grasps the object within that cluster of light.
"This is... the ancient Black Tortoise remnant soul?" Li Xuanqi's red lips slightly open, revealing astonishment. The aura within this cluster of light is extraordinary, incredibly ancient, and contains divinity.
It is actually the pure-blooded Black Tortoise remnant soul from the ancient era.
Containing a trace of its former spirit.
With boundless uses.
"No wonder the Great Ao was so powerful..." Wang Xiu also clicks his tongue, guessing that the special item contained within the Great Ao's body is extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to be such a divine object.
Li Xuanqi stares at the Black Tortoise remnant soul for a long time, as if making a decision, and comes to Wang Xiu, "Junior Brother, take it!"
Wang Xiu is stunned, "Give it to me?"
"Yes! You played a crucial role in killing the Great Ao." Li Xuanqi says casually, lightly smiling, her jade-like face radiant, captivatingly beautiful.
But her heart is bleeding.
The Black Tortoise remnant soul, even as the Shu Mountain Saintess, it is difficult for her to let go. This choice is very difficult.
But she knows in her heart that without Wang Xiu, she would have given up long ago. It would have been impossible for her to obtain this extraordinary item, especially in the end, without Wang Xiu's help, she would not have been able to defeat the Great Ao.
In theory, this Great Ao should belong to Wang Xiu as well.
Moreover, to be more specific, Li Xuanqi believes that Wang Xiu should take the larger share.
Furthermore, after this battle, she has gained a better understanding of Wang Xiu, but he seems even more unfamiliar than when she first met him.
Wang Xiu is too mysterious, unfathomable, and powerful, not weaker than herself, but he has always kept a low profile.
For such a person, if she can befriend him, although the half-residual Black Tortoise soul is precious, it is not something that cannot be given up.
Hmm...
Perhaps there is something that even Li Xuanqi herself doesn't know.
Wang Xiu refers to Li Xuanqi as his goal, using her as motivation to strive and practice diligently.
In front of Wang Xiu, Li Xuanqi instinctively wants to show her charming side.
For example, being unconventional, treating treasures as worthless.
Even though she knows that Wang Xiu's words may not all be true.
But... the feeling of being praised by him is really exhilarating!
Wang Xiu looked at the soft petals that Li Xuanqi extended, as if they were carved from crystal, with skin as fair as snow, flawless without any imperfections, even the most perfect artwork in the world couldn't compare.
But the green light sphere held in the palm of this hand is an invaluable treasure that could cause chaos and bloodshed in South State.
Speaking logically.
He really didn't have any thoughts about this Black Tortoise remnant soul.
After all, Li Xuanqi had fought so hard in front.
Although he had helped a bit, he had already gained benefits.
It wouldn't hurt to let Li Xuanqi have a bit more.
But he didn't expect that Li Xuanqi would actually take it seriously and want to give this thing directly to him.
Sometimes, a smart person can convey their thoughts with just a glance.
She must have seen a part of his true strength and wanted to establish a relationship with him, showing goodwill.
Truly worthy of being the Shu Mountain Saintess, bold and generous, even if the Black Tortoise remnant soul is only half, it is still extremely valuable, yet she is willing to give it up directly!
Wang Xiu's evaluation of Li Xuanqi in his heart has once again risen to a higher level.
"Since Senior Sister has said so, then I, Wang Xiu, can only shamelessly accept it!" Wang Xiu decisively put the Black Tortoise remnant soul into his bag without any hesitation.
"But I can't just take advantage of Senior Sister for nothing. I have some precious elixirs and spiritual materials here... Senior Sister, I hope you won't find them unworthy!"
As he spoke, Wang Xiu took out a spatial ring and handed it over with a smile.
Li Xuanqi took it and scanned it with her divine sense.
She was immediately startled.
Inside, heavenly treasures and earthly treasures were piled up into a small mountain, the brilliance dazzling and dazzling.
"This... is too much!"
"If Senior Sister wants to decline, then I can't accept this Black Tortoise remnant soul either..."
"You!" Li Xuanqi's beautiful eyes widened, then she shook her head and chuckled, "Alright, then we're even!"
She could tell that Wang Xiu, despite appearing easygoing, was actually proud.
He didn't want to owe anyone any favors.
But the more he was like this, the more curious Li Xuanqi became about Wang Xiu.
The two of them exchanged a few words.
Li Xuanqi looked at Wang Xiu's perfect appearance and smiled, "Wang Xiu, did you also get separated from your fellow disciples?"
Wang Xiu nodded and sighed, "Yes, I had bad luck and got separated from my senior brothers. It's impossible to find them again, so I plan to head deeper and try my luck!"
"I think the same way!" Li Xuanqi blinked her big eyes with a glimmer of intelligence and extended an invitation, "How about we travel together?"
Wang Xiu cupped his hands and acted surprised, "It is Wang's honor!"
...
There was now an additional companion.
On this journey, they didn't feel as lonely.
Wang Xiu hardly made any moves, and they didn't encounter any more void ancient beasts containing rare treasures.
Occasionally, they encountered a few lone void beasts.
Wang Xiu only moved his mouth, and Li Xuanqi rushed forward, wielding the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel, striking fiercely and imposingly.
If other geniuses were to witness this scene, they would surely be astonished.
This Shu Mountain Saintess, who ranked first on the Gold Core list, seemed to have the feeling of becoming Wang Xiu's lackey.
In fact, Li Xuanqi didn't want this.
The problem was that Wang Xiu's mouth was too sharp, always making her unable to control herself, wanting to display all her extraordinary abilities and charm.
She confirmed once again that Wang Xiu was a troublemaker.
Any woman who encountered him would be in trouble. Although it was enjoyable, it was easy to lose oneself and easily do things that even shocked oneself.
After each time, she regretted it and admonished herself not to be impulsive next time, not to do it again.
However...
Admonishing was in vain!
When it was time to lose control, she didn't hesitate at all.
...
On this day, they stopped and settled down.
This was a camp constructed by the passing cultivators and geniuses themselves. The surrounding high walls were covered in runes, capable of blocking ordinary void ancient beasts.
Almost every cultivator who stayed here and received blessings would reinforce the defenses in their own way before leaving.
Some would leave behind a Sword Intent, some would leave behind a talisman, and some would leave behind a formation.
At this moment, there weren't many cultivators in the camp, only a few dozen people divided into several groups, keeping their distance from each other.
There was no communication between them.
They sat quietly, replenishing their depleted mana.
Wang Xiu and Li Xuanqi were enveloped in a faint light, concealing their appearances, and casually found a place to sit.
Li Xuanqi sat cross-legged, restoring her mana.
Wang Xiu looked around.
He had the Supreme Finger Mysterious Sutra with him, which allowed him to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth at any time and convert it into pure Supreme Origin Qi.
As long as he didn't continuously use those excessively powerful spells, the speed of mana recovery was usually much faster than the rate of consumption, and there was almost no situation of mana depletion.
Suddenly, the conversation of a few cultivators in the distance caught his attention.
