“What are you waiting for? Hurry up!”
Seeing Jiang Yi hesitating, Qi Qingchen was angered again. Jiang Yi hurriedly scrambled up Qi Qingchen’s back and held onto her neck. His legs also wrapped around her stomach, just like an octopus as he hugged tightly onto Qi Qingchen.
“Where are you putting your legs?”
Qi Qingchen stiffened as her flexible sword waved, and she almost cut Jiang Yi’s leg off. Jiang Yi stuttered and replied, “Isn’t this the proper way to hold on? Your speed is so fast, and I am afraid I might fall.”
“…”
Qi Qingchen was speechless. The Sword Emanations Race beings were about to fly over. She decided to ignore Jiang Yi as she hurriedly ran about quickly to get used to the added weight. As a result, as her speed was very fast, Jiang Yi hugged her too tightly. She started to feel uncomfortable, and her face became blushed.
Huff-huff…
Qi Qingchen took a few deep breaths helplessly. She could do nothing and let Jiang Yi take advantage of her. She had to break through a million-strong army coming her way, and she couldn’t afford to keep Jiang Yi inside her interspatial ring. After all, if she only released Jiang Yi later on in the midst of a million-strong enemy army, Jiang Yi would easily be killed; and she would be put in danger as well.
Swish!
She once again flew about for a while and slowly got used to another’s weight on her. Qi Qingchen became pumped up as she shouted, “Hold on tight!”
Jiang Yi hurriedly used more strength as his hands and legs held on tightly to Qi Qingchen’s shoulders and waist. Breathing in the subtle fragrance from Qi Qingchen’s body, getting a faint sensual and graceful feeling from the bodily contact, seeing such a beautiful, white-jade-like face such as Qi Qingchen’s; Jiang Yi was intoxicated beyond measure.
The number-one beauty in the Earth Domain, the future Wintry Sovereign, a King-Ranked formidable martial artist, a goddess in countless young masters’ eyes; Jiang Yi was hugging this person tightly right now. Probably any man—unless he was extremely upright and virtuous—who like women would be intoxicated here and now.
It wasn’t just because Qi Qingchen was a real beauty; more importantly, it was the sense of accomplishment that made one feel good about himself. The more people that treasured and valued something, the greater the sense of accomplishment if one managed to get his hands on it.
Jiang Yi did not have designs on Qi Qingchen; however, that did not mean that he did not feel anything at this time. In fact… he was feeling a little aroused. However, the sudden movement just now coupled with a wave of killing intent scared Jiang Yi so much that he wasn’t thinking that way anymore. Qi Qingchen had said clearly: if Jiang Yi dared to fool about, she could cut all his limbs and his manhood.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A sky full of bony spurs that looked like red little swords shot forward and startled Jiang Yi. He hurriedly stopped thinking about these things as he focused his attention on his surroundings. If he burdened Qi Qingchen at this time, the two of them were going to end up dead.
Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and didn’t dare to make any sudden movements as he took in his surroundings.
Facing a sky full of red little swords, Qi Qingchen’s expression did not change at all; her body also did not attempt to block them as she continued flying straight. Her flexible sword flickered like a poisonous snake as the incoming little swords were battered aside easily.
The little swords were very fast; however, Qi Qingchen’s reaction time was even faster. She easily avoided and broke through the sky full of swords and got closer to the Sword Emanations Race army.
Baneful aura!
Once they came close to the Sword Emanations Race and Qi Qingchen started to engage a few of them, Jiang Yi immediately felt a faint aura stealthily affecting his soul spirit. This aura was very familiar; it was actually a powerful type of killing aura that could make one bloodthirsty, reckless, and go on a rampage.
This little amount of baneful aura was inconsequential to Jiang Yi; he had once realized a unique mystical ability called the Massacre Intent in the Stellarsky Domain! The Massacre Intent used a killing aura to affect its targets, to suppress them. Hence, this little bit of baneful aura was nothing to Jiang Yi; it could not affect him.
Qi Qingchen was also not affected by it. However, as she was carrying Jiang Yi along, her speed slowed by much. She also did not bother with killing the Sword Emanations Race beings but used her flexible sword to send them flying. So many Sword Emanations Race beings were around; Qi Qingchen could not kill them all. As her speed was faster than theirs—as long as she could break through this encirclement, she could easily lose them behind her.
A King-Ranked martial artist is indeed terrifying!
Jiang Yi watched as his eyes grew blurred; he could not even see Qi Qingchen’s actions. They just felt like streaks of red light flashing, and then the Sword Emanations Race beings coming from all directions being sent flying. Qi Qingchen was like a sharp saber piercing through the Sword Emanations Race’s ranks, pressing forward constantly.
It was at this moment that Jiang Yi finally witnessed how powerful Qi Qingchen was. Many a time, it seemed as if she was going to be hit; however, Qi Qingchen seemed to predict such attacks as she twisted her body and just barely managed to go around being attacked.
This baneful aura is becoming more and more powerful!
In mere tens of minutes, Jiang Yi could feel that his breathing was becoming difficult. It wasn’t entirely due to the baneful aura; the Sword Emanations Race beings’ attacks brought along a quick and forceful pressure shaking his internal organs.
Qi Qingchen, however, was still fine. Her physical body was after all much stronger than Jiang Yi’s, and she was not yet affected. Jiang Yi secretly used his heavenly powers to circulate within his body to reduce the seriousness of his injuries, to guarantee that he wouldn’t be shaken to death before they break through.
As Qi Qingchen was carrying Jiang Yi, her speed was very slow. Furthermore, the Sword Emanations Race continued to surround her and attack; it was hard for Qi Qingchen to break through like this. Probably even more Sword Emanations Race beings from far away would be lured here sooner or later; the encirclement would only get larger.
She did not have any other options, however. She could only fight to the death and grit her teeth to create a path for her to get out of this.
Two hours had passed… four hours!
Qi Qingchen finally couldn’t take it anymore as she sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “Help me to cleanse my mind of the baneful aura.”
Buzz!
Xiaozhuan characters flew out from Jiang Yi’s glabella and shot into Qi Qingchen’s mind, making a turn inside. The Xiaozhuan characters did not disappoint Jiang Yi; they easily cleansed the baneful aura in Qi Qingchen’s mind. After Qi Qingchen was revitalized, her attacking speed also increased.
However, after yet another two hours, Qi Qingchen’s speed slowed again; her face also looked a little pale. The long and consecutive hours of fighting were taking a severe toll on her physical body and her mental faculties. Jiang Yi was not having a better time either; his body was aching everywhere. With every attack, his bones would be shaken to their core. If Qi Qingchen hadn’t been helping him withstand the pressure from the attacks, Jiang Yi’s injuries might have been even more serious.
Jiang Yi opened his eyes; he mainly wanted to help cleanse Qi Qingchen’s body once again. Seeing her pale, tired face and her adamantly waving her flexible sword to continue her attacks, Jiang Yi was feeling bitter and aggrieved. He was a man and now actually needed a woman’s protection to break through.
How many more Sword Emanations Race beings are there ahead?
Jiang Yi looked at the sky filled with black dots that were the Sword Emanations Race as his heart sank and became more serious. Jiang Yi wasn’t worried about himself; he wasn’t that concerned even if all the bones in his body cracked or split from the pressure. He was afraid that Qi Qingchen would not be able to last for much longer and the world would lose someone like her.
Time continued to pass by bit by bit!
Qi Qingchen’s speed gradually grew slower as she was inevitably struck a few times. Furthermore, these few hits had struck because she was shielding Jiang Yi. Fortunately, she also had supreme-grade divine artifact battle armor; if not, she would definitely have been injured.
“Alright!”
After another two hours, Qi Qingchen’s body shivered as she shouted out and her eyes lit up. She turned slightly and looked at Jiang Yi, saying, “Jiang Yi, you are alright? We are about to break through.
“Yes, I’m fine!”
Jiang Yi twitched his lips and smiled as he forcibly swallowed a mouthful of fresh blood. He actually was already at his limit, and fresh blood had surged into his throat many a time. However, he was afraid that he might impact Qi Qingchen and had been keeping it in the whole time. He had also been struck more than ten times already; if he hadn’t had his supreme-grade divine artifact battle armor, he would long have died.
Clang, clang! Clang, clang!
Qi Qingchen’s flexible sword transformed into a sky-full of sword shadows as she sent all the Sword Emanations Race beings flying. Qi Qingchen didn’t waste her breath as she transformed into a beam of light and sped forward.
Hoo-Hoo!
Jiang Yi could see a beam of light ahead as he perked up. Qi Qingchen had killed for hours, and she had finally broken through the encirclement.
“Not good—”
They had just broken through when Qi Qingchen’s face suddenly changed drastically. Jiang Yi’s gaze looked into the far distance as he was also stunned. On the horizon far away, a red, enormous wave was visible once again; hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings were rushing forward to encircle them again.
