Chapter 18: Angry and vomiting blood
"not good!"

Seeing the sword net, Zhang Qian knew he could not run away, because this sword net was not simple and contained an inexplicable formation that completely blocked his retreat routes in front, behind, left and right. No matter which way he ran, he would be caught by the sword net.

"Where does this woman come from? Her sword skills are amazing!"

He admired in his heart. Although he couldn't run away, Zhang Qian would not surrender. The snow-white and cold Han Chi sword appeared in his hand, activating the Zhu Xian sword intent. Blood-red sword energy emerged. Zhang Qian raised the sword and stabbed it quickly. Blood-red cold stars flashed by.

Ding ding dang dang...!
Dense and loud noises rang out, but what Zhang Qian did not expect was that the sword net released by the woman was unexpectedly solid, as if it was made of divine gold. His sword energy pierced into it, but only made a series of loud noises, and could not shake it at all.

“Eh… this kind of sword intent!”

Zhang Qian didn't know that Li Qingque was even more surprised than him. Although Zhang Qian's sword skills were simply disgraceful in Li Qingque's opinion, she knew at a glance that Zhang Qian had never received any systematic sword training, but the sword intent contained in Zhang Qian's blood-red sword energy made Li Qingque's face change.

"Could this be a sword genius?"

Thinking of this, Li Qingque's eyes flashed, and with an idea, he let his sword net restrain its power and fly back and forth around Zhang Qian, wanting to carefully study Zhang Qian's sword intent.

Zhang Qian had no idea of ​​this. Seeing the power of the sword net covering him fade away, he thought his resistance had worked, so he immediately used the "Sword Technique of Splitting Light and Glimpse of Shadows" even more vigorously, and blood-red cold stars gathered to resist the sword net.

As time went by, Zhang Qian became more and more proficient in this sword technique and was able to withstand the pressure brought by the sword net.

On the other side, Li Qingque's eyes became brighter and brighter. She had already figured out what kind of swordsmanship Zhang Qian was performing. This kind of swordsmanship was nothing to her, but the sword intent contained in Zhang Qian's swordsmanship made her more and more surprised.

"Could it be that this person is born with a sword bone like Xiao Daoyi?"

Thinking of this, Li Qingque's eyes lit up. Seeing that Zhang Qian was still full of energy, but his whole body was becoming redder and redder, he knew that he had stabbed him with a sword before, and the trace of fire in the sword had already infected his whole body. It wouldn't be long before Zhang Qian's meridians would be burned by this trace of fire.

Li Qingque still had many questions, but he didn't want to destroy Zhang Qian like this. He quickly thought about it, and the sword net formed by sword rainbows suddenly became more powerful. It covered Zhang Qian lightly at an alarming speed and instantly wrapped him up.

"I surrender, please spare my life, fairy!"

Sensing the sword net's unparalleled sharpness, Zhang Qian felt scared. He was now wrapped in the sword net. As long as the opponent had a thought, he would be cut into pieces by the sword net! No matter how strong his mind was, it was useless. The sword net that enveloped him was too solid and sharp. Zhang Qian was not sure that he could break through the sword net in an instant.

"Humph, you know when to advance and when to retreat!"

brush!
The fiery red sword net wrapped Zhang Qian and flew directly out of the depths of the ground and onto the ground. Zhang Qian looked through the sword net and saw that Li Qingque was still staying in the same place without moving. It was obvious that he had been caught by a single sword rainbow.

"This beautiful fairy's swordsmanship is quite powerful. When will I be able to learn this swordsmanship?"

Until this moment, when Zhang Qian was restrained by Li Qingque and realized that he could be killed by the other party at any time with just a thought, he adapted to his current identity and truly understood that he was no longer the high-spirited cultivator who had just merged with the insights of the Hundong Ancestor, but a cultivator of low cultivation in the Xihuang World. The arrogant mentality that he himself did not even realize but really existed and that he felt was somewhat dissipated.

After figuring this out, Zhang Qian's mind changed. This was an internal change that could not be seen on the surface.

Zhang Qian no longer simply thinks of the cultivators of the Xihuang World as natives, and has developed a sense of identity with them.

He was in a complicated mood right now, but at this moment a fierce fire was coursing through his meridians, making his whole body hot and his blood boiling, as if it was about to burn. How could he have the mind to experience it carefully?

He hadn't noticed it just now, but now after a careful sense, his face suddenly turned ugly. He knew that if he continued to let the fire flow like this, all the meridians in his body would be burned out.

"Where's the kid?"

Li Qingque's cold voice sounded, Zhang Qian's eyes turned, and he secretly gathered his strong mind and said, "Fairy, can you put away your magical power first? This anger is so hot!"

"Humph, I'll let you suffer a little. Let me ask you, who are you? What did you want to do just now when you were naked?"

"My name is Zhang Qian. Just now..."

Zhang Qian told a lie, which was nine true and one false.

brush!
Li Qingque pointed a finger, and a trace of red fire flew out of Zhang Qian's body. Zhang Qian immediately felt much more comfortable. Without the fire running through his meridians, he felt as comfortable as if a layer of shackles had been removed.

"You said that the child was captured by a fox demon, and you came to rescue him out of kindness? Then why are you naked?"

"Uh...it's too hot in this weather, I just want to cool down with my clothes."

"Really? That child is just a mortal, but he has some talent for cultivation. His spiritual power will be improved the day after tomorrow. Send the child back later. I have something to ask you!"

Zhang Qian rolled his eyes and answered straightforwardly, "That's as it should be. Fairy, do you think we should put away the sword net?"

"You thief, your eyes are rolling around. I can tell at a glance that you are trying to play tricks on me. But this sword net cannot be taken back. Send the child home first. If you come back honestly, I will naturally take back the sword net. Otherwise, I will make you separate your flesh and blood as retribution!"

Zhang Qian's face turned bitter. He opened the storage bag and took out the old fox that had turned into a stone statue. Li Qingque glanced at it and said in surprise: "Your petrification technique is rare." "It's just so-so. Fairy, thank you for your praise."

Seeing that Li Qingque did not notice anything about the child, Zhang Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could not let this child go, otherwise, with the old fox's methods, he didn't know how much trouble this child would bring him.

Li Qingque had no idea that the soul within this child was a great golden elixir demon. She had just focused all her attention on Zhang Qian. She only glanced at the child and, seeing that he was a mortal child, she no longer paid attention to him.

Waving to Li Qingque, Zhang Qian, wrapped in the fiery red sword net, changed his mind, and fled to a village he knew.

After Zhang Qian left, Li Qingque frowned slightly and murmured, "This little thief has a lot of ideas and is quite clever. I wonder if he has ever joined a sect."

On the other side, Zhang Qian quickly found a village in a valley, looked around, put the old fox back into the storage bag, then stayed there for a moment, got up and returned.

Half a minute later, Zhang Qian saw Li Qingque again.

Li Qingque glanced at Zhang Qian with cold eyes, nodded and said, "Follow me!"

brush!
The fiery red sword net that wrapped around Zhang Qian dissipated. Zhang Qian's face looked a little ugly, knowing that he could not run away at all. Even if he had a strong mental strength, it was useless because Zhang Qian's cultivation was too low at this time. No matter what escape technique he used, he would be easily caught up by the opponent. He could only follow Li Qingque silently.

"Huh? This is it?"

After the two of them walked a few steps, Li Qingque suddenly exclaimed in surprise, looked up at the sky in front of him, and saw two streams of light, one black and one green, flying straight towards them. The two streams of light were fighting with each other as they flew.

Zhang Qian could see clearly that the two streams of light were Ye Tianjing and Cha Kun. The two shouted at each other. Cha Kun waved the Twelve Heavenly Demon Staff, and twelve ferocious demons appeared. Ye Tianjing controlled the sword ball, and hundreds of sword rainbows flew back and forth, with a myriad of auras, strangling the twelve demons back and forth.

brush!
Zhang Qian didn't think twice and went straight underground.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to run away?"

Li Qingque's eyes turned cold, and Zhang Qian poked his head out from the ground and said with a smile: "No, fairy, I was originally the Lishui River God appointed by the Mangcang Sword Sect. Later, I joined the Taoshen Sect. The Taoshen Sect leader helped me remove the River God Talisman from the depths of my soul, but that swordsman Ye Tianjing found out and insisted on killing me. I can't let him see it, otherwise my life will be in danger."

Li Qingque frowned and said in a cold voice: "I think your talent is no less than the innate level. This talent is also considered a genius. Why does the Mangcang Sword Sect want you to be a river god who can never practice for the rest of your life?"

Zhang Qian thought for a moment and said nonsense: "Hey... This is a long story. It's all because I have no backing in the Mangcang Sword Sect, and I offended Ye Tianjing's apprentice Qiao Jinning. Qiao Jinning was arrogant and didn't like me. Later, he used tricks to make me the god of Lishui River, cutting off my path of cultivation. I hate him so much! Later, when he came to my water palace to collect the incense and divine beads, I took him and killed him, and took revenge. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out and was known by Ye Tianjing. He issued a huge reward in the nearby market to take my life. Oh no, he is flying over!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhang Qian could hide underground, Ye Tianjing, who was fighting with Cha Kun, had already discovered Zhang Qian.

"Ah... you bastard, God has mercy on me and let me meet you here, give me your life!"

Ye Tianjing's hatred for Zhang Qian was even greater than that for Cha Kun. Not long ago, Qiao Jinning was slapped to death by Cha Kun. Ye Tianjing was so angry that he didn't think about it carefully. Now he has come to his senses. His disciple is not a fool. How could he be so stupid as to bump into Cha Kun's giant hand? This is simply seeking death.

There must be someone who subdued his disciple and then threw him towards Cha Kun's big hand, using this as a borrowed knife to kill someone. Who else could have subdued his disciple except Zhang Qian?
"Ye Tianjing, you came just in time! Your damn disciple is finally dead. The Mangcang Sword Sect has lost a scourge. Not only do you not thank me, but you also want to take my life. You are simply ungrateful!"

puff!
Ye Tianjing was so angry that he vomited blood, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was furious. He didn't even care about the twelve demons chasing him from behind. He roared, turned into a sword rainbow, and rushed towards Zhang Qian, who only had his head exposed.

Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes, glanced at Li Qingque, and disappeared underground.

“Die, die, die…!”

Ye Tianjing looked like a madman, the sword rainbow surged and rushed towards him like a long river!

Cha Kun at the back was stunned. He took a look with his spiritual sense and his face changed immediately. The boy with his head exposed was okay, just a small cultivator in the Lingji realm. But the beautiful woman standing next to him was amazing.

He couldn't even sense the other party's cultivation level!

"Impossible. I am now at the fifth stage of the Golden Core Realm. How could I not be able to sense this woman's cultivation level? Could it be that she is an immortal being who has cultivated her primordial spirit?"

Thinking of this, Cha Kun suddenly felt like backing off. Originally, his responsibility was to look after the Peach God Sect's headquarters, and most importantly, to guard the Yiqi Peach God Idol. If his sect leader failed in the decisive battle, the Yiqi Peach God Idol would be his sect leader's support for rebirth. Unexpectedly, the whereabouts of the Yiqi Peach God Idol was unknown, and he had already learned from Ye Tianjing that his sect leader had failed and died in the decisive battle.

Without the Yiqi Taoshen idol, how could our leader have a chance to be reborn?

"Losing the Yiqi Peach God Idol is a heinous crime. The Yiqi Peach God Idol may have fallen into the hands of the Mangcang Sword Sect. In this case, the leader has no chance to come back. This means that I am now the person with the highest cultivation level in the Peach God Sect, so..."

Thinking of this, Cha Kun became excited. He was able to cultivate to the fifth level of Golden Elixir, which was not an easy task. If his sect leader could be reborn, he would not dare to act presumptuously. But now he was basically certain that his sect leader was completely dead, and he suddenly became determined.

Seeing Ye Tianjing turning into a sword rainbow and rushing straight forward, Cha Kun changed his mind and took back the Twelve Heavenly Demon Gods. He glanced at Li Qingque, turned around and ran away.

Fortunately, he did not look closely at Zhang Qian's appearance, otherwise he would immediately recognize that Zhang Qian was the person who stole the Yiqi Taoshen doll.
