Ch 169: Come to die!
Lu Qing’an didn’t bother with idle chatter; with a flash of his sword, he easily killed the Demon Race member. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water.
A surge of special life force poured into his body, slightly increasing his lifespan. However, compared to his vast lifespan reserves, it was but a drop in the ocean.
After the battle ended, Lu Qing’an didn’t need to walk back. With a pass of the formation’s light, he was instantly transported back to his original position.
Song Chi sized up Lu Qing’an, nodding approvingly. “You really surprised me, kid. Aren’t you really afraid of the Demon Race?”
He even felt that these Demon Race members were afraid of Lu Qing’an. He didn’t know what special methods Lu Qing’an possessed that caused such fear in the Demon Race.
Lu Qing’an’s expression was calm as he retorted, “On our Human Race’s territory, shouldn’t the Demon Race be afraid of us? Mere Demon Race members, what is there to fear?”
Upon hearing this, Song Chi looked at Lu Qing’an with a complex expression. The kid’s right!
These Demon Race members appearing in their Human Race territory should be the ones fearing them.
This kid’s thinking is extraordinary.
“Excellent! With such awareness, you are worthy of being a genius disciple of our Xianjian Sect!” Song Chi laughed heartily.
Thus, Lu Qing’an passed all assessments and became a core disciple of the Xianjian Sect.
Afterward, Song Chi turned to Lin Yao, encouraging them, “It’s your turn now. Don’t be nervous; just do your best.”
Lin Yao nodded and, as they walked forward, glanced at Wang Xiaohong. Wang Xiaohong had a strange, faint smile on his lips as he nodded at Lin Yao.
Only then did Lin Yao take a deep breath and walk forward.
Xu Qingying stared at Lin Yao’s back view, suddenly frowning. She quickly moved, approaching Lu Qing’an. Regardless of whether she might be noticed, she directly used immortal qi to shield the surrounding space and whispered to Lu Qing’an, “I have a feeling; they can’t die. Otherwise, something big will happen!”
Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Lu Qing’an’s eyes.
Lin Yao can’t die? What does that mean?
Lu Qing’an understood Xu Qingying’s intuitive mechanism. It was because Xu Qingying possessed a Companion Life Bottle, a treasure that could perceive changes related to her destiny. Since she received this intuitive warning, it meant that Lin Yao was about to die!
Moreover, Lin Yao’s death would affect Xu Qingying’s future trajectory and even put her in danger.
So, why would Lin Yao die here?
The furthest Demon Race member was at the Xuji Realm, ninth level. A Xuji Realm ninth-level Demon Race member shouldn’t pose a fatal threat to Lin Yao.
“Could it be that Wang Xiaohong’s purpose was to have Lin Yao die?” Lu Qing’an could only think of this possibility. As long as Lin Yao didn’t resist and let the Demon Race member kill them, Lin Yao would undoubtedly die.
But why do that?
Would that allow the Demon Race members to escape from here?
Seeing Xu Qingying’s disregard for others overhearing their whispered conversation indicated the severity of the situation. Lu Qing’an could only find a way to protect Lin Yao.
Song Chi and Wang Xiaohong also looked at Lu Qing’an and Xu Qingying. Seeing the two mysteriously conversing and using methods to prevent eavesdropping, they were both puzzled and suspicious.
Wang Xiaohong suspected that Xu Qingying and Lu Qing’an had a special relationship. Ever since they appeared, they had been whispering. Perhaps they were developing a romantic relationship?!
Zhang Chi also considered this possibility, but if it were true, it wasn’t a bad thing. Two of the Xianjian Sect’s strongest geniuses becoming Daoist Partners would be a great event.
Lin Yao had entered an area of Demon Race members; a powerful energy light shield enveloped them.
At this time, a group of Demon Race members with roughly the same strength as Lin Yao approached, intending to intimidate them.
Perhaps the Demon Race members acted this way with the Xianjian Sect’s consent; it was a condition for not killing them.
Lin Yao’s eyes were filled with coldness, like a dead person. They completely ignored the Demon Race’s intimidation. When the Demon Race members blocked their path, they simply turned and walked around them.
The group of Demon Race members were speechless.
Are the Xianjian Sect’s disciples this strange now? They aren’t afraid of them anymore?!
Seeing this, the other Demon Race members of different realms didn’t bother to appear and intimidate Lin Yao. Afterward, Lin Yao safely passed through that area, arriving at the final battleground. The energy light shield on them had also quietly disappeared.
They looked at the Xuji Realm ninth-level Demon Race member standing not far away and said, “Come.”
The Demon Race member wasn’t afraid of Lin Yao; instead, like a hungry wolf, it pounced toward Lin Yao at great speed.
Lu Qing’an and the others were watching Lin Yao. Something that silenced them happened. After the Demon Race member approached, Lin Yao didn’t dodge; they simply stood there without any reaction whatsoever!
Lu Qing’an and Xu Qingying exchanged glances. Now they were certain. Lin Yao came here to die! What kind of operation is this?!
Song Chi originally thought Lin Yao would use thunderous methods to kill the Demon Race member when it approached. Based on Lin Yao’s combat power from the previous test, they absolutely possessed this strength. However, to his surprise, Lin Yao remained motionless!
Bang!
Lin Yao was instantly knocked to the ground by the Xuji Realm ninth-level Demon Race member and their neck was tightly grasped.
The Demon Race member who had subdued Lin Yao was also a little unresponsive. Staring at Lin Yao, whose neck was tightly gripped, and showing no resistance, they were bewildered.
This kid, what are they doing?
“Senior Song, save them!” The unease in Xu Qingying’s heart intensified, and she quickly turned to Song Chi, urgently calling out.
If Lin Yao died, something bad would definitely happen!
Song Chi frowned. “I can’t intervene; that’s the rule. And, it’s too late… What exactly is this kid doing?”
Right now, Lin Yao’s neck was grabbed. To quickly kill them, he would also have to pass through that area, and might be stopped by other Huan Yu Realm Demon Race members. Therefore, even if he intervened, he might not be able to prevent Lin Yao’s death!
Song Chi quickly looked at Wang Xiaohong. Wang Xiaohong, however, pretended to be panicked. “Goodness, my cousin wouldn’t be having a seizure now, would he?!”
“Kid, die!” The Xuji Realm ninth-level Demon Race member didn’t care what Lin Yao was doing. They hadn’t eaten anyone in a while; their mouth was already filled with saliva, and they decisively made their move to kill.
Lin Yao’s eyes remained cold; then they closed their eyes. However, after waiting for a while, they strangely found that the Demon Race member still hadn’t made a move.
Drip, drip, drip…
At this moment, they suddenly felt warm liquid dripping onto their face; the smell was extremely foul!
They abruptly opened their eyes and were shocked to discover that the Xuji Realm ninth-level Demon Race member, who had been gripping their neck, now had a terrifying sword wound on its neck!
At this moment, someone stood behind them. It was Lu Qing’an!
Impossible! Wasn’t this kid over there? How could they be here?!
Lu Qing’an put away his Immortal Sword, his eyelids drooping as he looked at Lin Yao lying on the ground. He coldly said, “Don’t thank me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot, instantly returning to Song Chi and the others. The entire process was extremely fast and eerily strange!
Seeing this, Song Chi was somewhat stunned, not understanding Lu Qing’an’s methods! However, he had heard that Lu Qing’an had used this method at the Zui Xian Lou, but this method was even more eerie than he’d heard!
Appearing there so quickly, then quickly returning here!
This kid, is he really only at the Xuji Realm?
