Chapter 648: A Skillful Escape
“Fate? I really hope we don’t have such a good fate,” said Qiu Gaohe as his heart shuddered and wailed. Immediately his body tensed up, fully on guard. Even Ye Qianhe was unable to guard against Ling Chuxi’s swift moves and was constantly being attacked with a blurry head. Furthermore, her venomous skills left one hard to defend oneself against them. Qiu Gaohe had less and less confidence. He did not want to end up the same way Ye Qianhe did.
“Qiu Clan Head, I have researched a few venomous skills lately and would coincidentally love for you to give me a couple of pointers.” Of the two strong foes, one had already left. Ling Chuxi’s heart was greatly settled as her confidence also increased wildly. Even the traps were of no use to her anymore as she walked over to Qiu Gaohe in a carefree manner.
Qiu Gaohe was already originally uneasy and upon hearing these words, his heart started beating wildly.
The last time Ling Chuxi used poison, it had been hard for him to come up with an antidote. Who knew that before he got a chance to properly use it, she had already gained new venomous skills? Thinking about that weird poison that left people rolling on the ground with great urge to rip off even their own bones, Qiu Gaohe felt goosebumps all over his entire body.
Ling Chuxi did not even know that her words had caused such great tremors in Qiu Gaohe’s heart as she continued to smile at him as she approached.
“They have already been poisoned by the Qiu family’s potent poison, and if it is not resolved soon, they can forget about ever recovering to their initial levels of cultivation for the rest of their lives,” said Qiu Gaohe to Ling Chuxi as he forced himself to calm down and put on an expression of fearlessness. If he had a choice, he really did not wish to exchange blows with Ling Chuxi.
“With just that bit of the Qiu family’s venomous skills, you think you can challenge me?” said Ling Chuxi in disdain as she proceeded to attack Qiu Gaohe.
Qiu Gaohe’s arms fell to his sides and his face was serious. An expert’s aura lashed out of him and the airs of a sect clan head descendant vaguely surrounded him. Even Xie Wuji and the rest were secretly nodding in approval.
However, immediately, their necks froze.
Upon seeing Ling Chuxi’s hand draw in launch for a slap, Qiu Gaohe’s expression changed and he suddenly turned around and fled far away before she even managed to send out a strike. The speed with which he turned around was extremely fast and his actions were so smooth that it made those who watched on exclaim. It was as if it were a performance he had practiced a hundred times over.
“I don’t think I am that scary, am I?” Ling Chuxi looked at Qiu Gaohe who had escaped into the distance and then looked at her own palm, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Ye Qianhe had ran away and Qiu Gaohe had also run away. The traps that she had set up with such great effort were actually not even to be used at all.
The Qiu family members saw that even their clan head had run away, and since naturally they would not stay around to wait for death, they also followed suit and made their great escapes. They ran so fast that they swept up a snowstorm, truly leaving those watching to exclaim out loud.
Xie Wuji and the rest had their eyes popped open till their eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets. The situation now was… they really did not know what words they could use to describe it. The danger they were in was resolved just like that! Ye Qianhe was angered so much, he ran away and Qiu Gaohe? Before even exchanging a single blow, he had run off like a rabbit! This sudden dramatic twist left their livers feeling a little unable to withstand the whiplash.
Xie Wuji and the rest of the guardians had also more or less recovered from the effects of the poison by now and walked out of the mountain valley together. There, the poison was weakest. If it were not for Ye Qianhe and Qiu Gaohe taking turns battling against them to keep them stuck within the poisoned valley, they would have long since made their way out given their level of cultivation.
Looking at the Ling Chuxi standing before them now and thinking back on how she was when they all had to form an unintentional joint force so she could be promoted to the realm of True Essence, Xie Wuji and the rest of the guardians felt as though they were two different people who were worlds away from each other.
“Chuxi, just now those few moves you executed, could it be that you did so with the help of the legendary Core of Martial Path?” Xie Wuji had already suppressed this puzzle in his heart for quite some time as he was observing her earlier. The rest of the guardians were also harboring the same theory.
