Chapter 1332 - 1332: Qiqi's Secret Intervention

The black mist, formed by Ying Gou, resembled storm clouds before a summer tempest, completely shrouding the sky.

At this moment, Liu Zixuan and the other two were trapped within it.

Occasionally a flash of light flickered within the black mist, sometimes a whirlwind appeared, looking somewhat like a thunderstorm at sea. However, Liu Zixuan and the others knew that it wasn't ordinary lightning or strong winds, but rather something formed from Corpse Qi.

Even though Ying Gou couldn't compare to the Ancient Times, the black mist formed by exhausting all of his power was much more formidable than the attacks of an ordinary Unity Realm.

Liu Zixuan and the others stood there, watching as the black mist approached, all frowning involuntarily.

Buzz~!

Suddenly, two exquisite small knives appeared in the Sword Demon's hands, and as his Inner Strength slowly infused them, the knives abruptly enlarged several times over.

Grasping both knives in his hands, he said, "Zixuan, I'm not good at using my brain, so at this moment, I'll fend off the surrounding attacks while you figure out a way to break through."

Liu Zixuan was momentarily stunned, not expecting the Sword Demon to step forward so decisively.

After all, among the three of them, none could predict how strong the attacks from the black mist would be; perhaps with one strike, their lives would be forfeit!

Yet the Sword Demon did not hesitate, standing ready to withstand it all.

Seeing Liu Zixuan in a daze, the Sword Demon smiled and said, "I'm already old; how much longer can I keep fighting? Now it's your young people's time. Calm down and think carefully. I believe you can do it!"

After speaking, the Sword Demon, wielding his two knives, leaped into the air to meet the incoming attacks.

However, this domain was formed by the lifelong powers of Ying Gou; how could he alone possibly withstand so many attacks?

Seeing the Sword Demon struggling, Luo Xi spoke, "I'll go help too."

"Be careful!"

With others gambling their lives for him, how could Liu Zixuan possibly allow them to lose?

Now, he understood that even if he summoned the Celestial Fox Beauty and the Clone, it would only add one more person to withstand the attacks and wouldn't really make a significant difference.

Frowning tightly, Liu Zixuan clenched his fist, thinking, "It seems I have no choice but to use this trump card."

He had a trump card, obtained after entering the Ancient Ruins.

Upon first entering the ruins, he and Qiqi had arrived at the Hundred Immortals Forest and the Thousand Saints Tomb.

It was then that he met the Fairy of Hundred Forest and, through their conversation, she promised Liu Zixuan a commitment.

That commitment was if he encountered danger in this ruin, he could crush the token given by the Fairy of Hundred Forest, and she would appear to help him.

Liu Zixuan didn't know the true strength of the Fairy of Hundred Forest, but being the Tomb Guardian of the Thousand Saints Tomb, she must at least be on par with the respected Gatekeeper within the tower, likely at the Unity Realm.

Initially intending to save this trump card to deal with other sect's Unity Realm experts, at this moment, for everyone's sake, he couldn't think about that anymore!

Immediately, Liu Zixuan retrieved the token from the Relic Pearl that the Fairy of Hundred Forest had given him.

But just as he was about to crush it,

suddenly there was some change above the black mist.

In this place, ordinary changes wouldn't surprise Liu Zixuan; after all, in a domain formed by an ancient entity like Ying Gou, changes were normal.

However, amid the changes above, Liu Zixuan sensed a faintly familiar aura.

"Zixuan, look!"

At this moment, Luo Xi was pointing to Liu Zixuan's side.

Liu Zixuan turned his head sharply to see a massive, seemingly shapeless lotus flower with an Inner Strength ripple slowly penetrating from outside.

Despite its slow advance, given sufficient time, it could open up a passage through the black mist, allowing Liu Zixuan and the others to escape.

"Such a familiar lotus!" Luo Xi murmured softly.

It was indeed familiar; to this day, Liu Zixuan had only seen Qiqi unleash such a lotus form.

And within these Ancient Ruins, only Qiqi would go to such lengths to rescue Liu Zixuan at such a perilous moment.

Seeing the lotus drawing closer, Liu Zixuan quickly shouted to the Sword Demon and Luo Xi, "Get on the lotus!"

The Sword Demon and Luo Xi did not hesitate, leaping onto the lotus.

But once they ceased fending off the attacks, the attacks seemed to find a target, concentrating fully and heading straight towards Liu Zixuan.

"Zixuan, be careful!" Luo Xi shouted with concern.

Roar!

The Power of the Dragon Veins surged rapidly within his Dantian, permeating every part of Liu Zixuan's body. In a heartbeat, a golden glow emanated from him. To Luo Xi and the Sword Demon, in that moment, Liu Zixuan seemed less like himself and more like a True Dragon ready to soar through the skies!

As the dragon's roar echoed, Liu Zixuan leaped up, fists striking fiercely to face and resist those attacks head-on.

"Qiqi, I know you're out there; take Luo Xi and the Sword Demon out of here!" Liu Zixuan shouted outward.

He believed that as long as Qiqi was there, she would definitely hear him.

Sure enough, a moment later, the lotus no longer advanced inward but took Luo Xi and the Sword Demon out of the black mist's domain.

After ensuring the temporary safety of the Sword Demon and Luo Xi, Liu Zixuan felt slightly relieved.

Without Qiqi, without that trump card,

the attacks just now could have severely injured or killed Luo Xi and the Sword Demon.

The fury of Ying Gou was primarily directed at Liu Zixuan because of the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.

If anything had happened to them, Liu Zixuan's conscience would be forever burdened for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, they were safe now, and as for himself,

he could face whatever happened calmly.

With this thought, Liu Zixuan wholly unleashed his full potential.

The continuous supply of Inner Strength from the Dragon Veins propelled him to move swiftly within the Black Fog Domain, meeting the chilling attacks with punches and strikes!

Crack! His arm broke.

Bang! A heavy blow landed on his back!

The attacks were too numerous,

resulting in severe injuries for Liu Zixuan as he defended against them.

Only two or three minutes had passed since Luo Xi and the others got out, and Liu Zixuan was already covered in wounds.

However, despite all this, Liu Zixuan showed no trace of fear; instead, the smile on his face grew even brighter.

After all, it had been so long since he was wounded this badly, and so long since he had such a thrilling battle.

"What an unyielding fellow indeed!"

The voice of Ying Gou echoed in the Black Fog Domain, now much weaker than before.

Liu Zixuan raised his head proudly, "Show me what you've got!"

"Do you think those attacks are everything?" Ying Gou snorted coldly, "The final strike is reserved just for you!"

Suddenly, the attacks in the Black Fog Domain ceased abruptly, but then the entire domain began to rapidly shrink, like a once-great prison now tightening into a Gravity Prison, intending to crush Liu Zixuan to death...
