"Hoo~ho~ho~"
Liu Qiqi's face was pale, her chest was heaving, her left hand hung weakly by her side, blood was dripping from her fingertips, her right hand holding the Immortal Killing Sword was trembling slightly, and her breathing and heartbeat were so clearly audible. .
About five feet away in front of her, a huge monster with a ferocious appearance was staring at her fiercely, its eyes emitting a ferocious light that would make any creature in the world tremble with fear.
These days, she has been waving the sword in her hand, killing the flying blood demons in the sky day and night, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. Her strength has also steadily improved in the non-stop fighting, and she has vaguely reached the realm of a saint. peak.
Although she is still unable to cross the sea of blood, she can easily kill the flying blood demon in a duel, whose strength is infinitely close to the soul state. Her understanding of the way of the sword is no longer the same as when she first came to the original land.
On this day, after taking a short rest, she planned to cheer up, use her supreme swordsmanship to break through the blockade of the Flying Blood Demon, rush out of the sea, and go to the vast world to find her fellow sect members, but she unexpectedly killed dozens of them in a row. After the Blood Demon, sudden changes occurred.
A huge monster that had never been seen before suddenly stood in front of Liu Qiqi.
Similar to the Flying Blood Demon, this monster is also blood red, but has no wings on its back. Instead, it has several pairs of dorsal fins on both sides of its body, and countless slender tails protruding from its hips, twisting and twisting in the air, ready to move.
In terms of size, this monster was five or six times larger than the Flying Blood Demon. It was so far away from Liu Qiqi that the scene was like a tiger and a mouse confronting each other, completely out of proportion.
If it were just for its huge size, this monster was actually far more powerful than the Flying Blood Demon. It had reached an out-and-out soul state. Countless slender tails were spread all over the sky, densely packed, and could be extended at will. It is shortened, and it will regenerate instantly after being cut off. The ends are endless.
There is a coquettish and strange aura attached to the surface of each tail. If it gets a little bit of it, even a strong man at the saint level will have his limbs weak, his body will be paralyzed, and he will lose the ability to resist in an instant.
As soon as the two sides fought, Liu Qiqi fell into the disadvantage without any suspense. Relying on her extraordinary swordsmanship, she could barely hold on for more than ten breaths. Finally, by accident, her left arm was pierced by one of the monster's tails, and half of her body was almost All lost consciousness.
Thanks to her two swordsmanship qualifications and a special physique, with abundant energy in her body and sword intent, she could barely maintain her ability to move. If it were an ordinary saint, she would have become a meal for monsters. It was used to satisfy one's hunger.
So strong!
It's not on the same level as other monsters at all!
If you continue like this, you will die!
Looking at the overwhelming red tails shooting from the sky, Liu Qiqi couldn't help but feel despair. Her morale dropped to the bottom unknowingly, and such a thought appeared in her mind unconsciously.
The left half of his body was still unable to move, and waves of heartbreaking pain crazily flooded into his mind. The fatigue accumulated from the continuous fighting exploded instantly, and the fatigue continued to impact every nerve in the body.
She only felt that her eyelids were extremely heavy, and the deep tiredness kept coming. If it weren't for a powerful enemy, she wished she could lie down on the spot and sleep with him for three days and three nights.
Under the blur of consciousness, everything in front of me seemed to be magnified countless times. The tail shot by the monster was so clear and detailed, even the hairs and water droplets on the surface were clearly visible.
However, she felt lazy and lacked the slightest intention to raise her sword to protect herself. There was a hint of giving up and relief in her half-closed eyes.
Life and death don't seem to be that important anymore.
Three figures "suddenly" appeared in the distant sky. They were Han Baodiao, Lu Qingyan and Shi Xiaolong who were attracted by the strange movement here.
"It's actually a tailed demon!"
Seeing the monster's appearance clearly, Lu Qingyan couldn't help but change her pretty face, and blurted out, "How could a monster two thousand feet high in the blood sea appear in the air?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, in the entire depth of two thousand feet, the tailed demon is one of the most powerful beings, and it is definitely not something that a saint can compete with."
Han Baodiao was also amazed and said, "It takes a lot of effort for me to deal with her. I'm afraid this girl is going to be unlucky."
"Miss Qiqi!"
Shi Xiaolong was horrified and instinctively asked, "Miss Lu, please save her!"
"Save her? Why save her?"
The hesitation on Lu Qingyan's face flashed away, and then she shook her head calmly. "This is the path she chose, and of course she has to bear the consequences."
"you you……"
Shi Xiaolong never expected that Lu Qingyan, who seemed to have a gentle temper, would say such words. He was stunned and stuttered, "You want to die without saving me?"
"Silly boy, I don't know why the Eternal Life Sword chose you."
Han Baodiao looked disdainful and said with a smile, "The path of sword cultivation is to constantly temper oneself and sharpen the sword's will on the edge of life and death. Which of us didn't walk through it step by step like this back then? Even now, in this sea of blood, There are still many monsters far more powerful than me. When the old man punished me just now, did you see any hesitation? What a fuss."
"Miss Qiqi is not a disciple of 'Jiange', why do you use such cruel methods to train yourself?"
Shi Xiaolong said disapprovingly, "Besides, there is no rush to practice. Is there anything more important than living?"
"That's the difference between you and her."
Han Baodiao shook his head and sighed, "So she is a sword cultivator and you are not."
"It doesn't matter if she is a swordsman or not!"
Shi Xiaolong said anxiously, "It's important to save people!"
"You do not understand."
A trace of sarcasm flashed in Han Baodiao's eyes, "If you want to save you, save yourself. Junior sister and I can't take action anyway."
"Just go!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Shi Xiaolong gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, turned around and headed straight towards the direction where Liu Qiqi and the tailed demon were fighting, actually planning to take action himself.
"stop!"
However, when Kankan took a step forward, his right arm was grabbed by Lu Qingyan.
"Miss Lu, let go!"
Shi Xiaolong tried to get rid of her, but failed. He couldn't help but feel anxious, and his voice rose an octave unconsciously, "I can't just watch Miss Qiqi die!"
"hold on!"
Lu Qingyan suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Liu Qiqi, "I'm afraid this girl may not die."
"Huh?"
Shi Xiaolong turned around when he heard the sound, and the scene in the distance immediately surprised him.
…
Dying?
Master, Senior Sister, Junior Sister Ning'er, Xiaodie...
Sorry, Qiqi has to take the first step!
Take care of yourself!
Facing the insurmountable gap in strength, Liu Qiqi relaxed and fell into a state of lying flat, no longer resisting.
As the saying goes, nothing is difficult in life, as long as you are willing to give up.
Once she let it go completely, she suddenly felt extremely relaxed and comfortable, and even the injuries on her body no longer seemed to hurt.
It turns out that death is nothing more than that.
The corners of Liu Qiqi's mouth raised slightly, facing the arrival of death, a calm smile appeared on her face.
"... By bending and hooking your little fingers together like this, you have made an agreement, and no one is allowed to go back on it."
"... Let's make an agreement here. From now on, if a bad person bullies me, you will protect me. If a bad person takes me away, you will come to save me. If someone dares to be arrogant to me, you will You have to help me teach him a lesson, and if there is anyone I don’t like, you have to help me beat him up..."
Just as the monster's tail was about to penetrate her, a conversation from a long time ago suddenly appeared in her mind.
The speaker was a handsome young man in white clothes with a smile.
The little finger of the boy's right hand was bent into a hook, tightly hooked with her little finger, and claimed that this was an ancient ritual, an agreement that could not be revoked or regretted.
What a shameless man!
Liu Qiqi's eyes suddenly softened a bit, and two faint blushes appeared inexplicably on her fair and charming face.
Am I, Liu Qiqi, a treacherous person?
Now that you have made an agreement, you can never go back on it!
The next moment, her eyes suddenly became firm, and a cloud of purple smoke spewed out from her body. The originally paralyzed left half of her body instantly regained its ability to move.
Between life and death, her pupils shrank sharply, the pores all over her body expanded, and her senses were infinitely magnified. The breeze was like a knife, the water droplets were like the sea, and even a small speck of dust seemed to turn into a star.
Heavenly Sword Qi, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Clan, Yunjian Sutra, Innate Sword Heart, Innate Sword Soul, Wild Wind Body, and the Heart Sword inherited from seven generations of Liu family heads...
Closing her eyes, all her life's learning and achievements passed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, only to reappear again after a flash. It was a cycle, over and over again, as if to firmly imprint it all in the depths of her soul. .
As time goes by, the boundaries between talent, physique, skills and spiritual skills gradually blur, and finally merge into one, turning into an extremely dazzling light group, slowly merging with spiritual consciousness.
This process seems long, but actually happens in a blink of an eye.
"So that's it."
Opening her eyes again, Liu Qiqi murmured softly. There was a hint of indifference and transparency in her beautiful eyes. The scattered sword energy that originally lingered around her body had disappeared, and was replaced by an extremely condensed sword intention.
Just as she closed and opened her eyes, her temperament changed drastically, as if she was a different person.
"One sword buries the soul!"
I saw four words coming out of her mouth, and then she slowly swung a sword in the direction of the tailed demon.
