48: Chapter 48 Is he really just a Qi Refining stage cultivator?

"Fairy Wonderful Sword, you truly dare to come!"

The cold and stern voice of Jin Fugui reached the ears of the Wonderful Sword True Lord several miles away.

The figure of the Wonderful Sword True Lord, standing in the sky while holding her sword, suddenly stiffened.

Suddenly...

"Swish!"

The Wonderful Sword True Lord abruptly turned her head, her gaze icy. She held the myriad jade sword horizontally, pointing it at the man beside her, the cold tip of the sword only a hair's breadth away from his throat.

The blue jade gem on the forehead of the Wonderful Sword True Lord swayed, its shimmering light reflecting her currently restless and agitated heart.

"You lied to me!" From her cherry-blossom-like tender lips, she spat out a voice as cold as bone-chilling ice.

Zhong Ziqi, who was being pointed at by the sword, had a calm and composed handsome face. With one hand behind his back and the index and middle fingers of his other hand pressed together, he pinched the myriad jade sword that was emitting a threatening aura.

The Wonderful Sword True Lord only felt that the myriad jade sword in her hand was as heavy as a thousand catties, powerful and weighty, and she found herself unable to advance or retreat.

Zhong Ziqi laughed ostentatiously, "Lied? Fairy, when has this Young Master ever lied to you? Are the two people you want not on the back of that demonic bird?"

The Wonderful Sword True Lord's eyes were cold. Spiritual power surged from her body into the myriad jade sword, instantly breaking free from Zhong Ziqi's entanglement and retreating a hundred meters in a flash.

Zhong Ziqi did not stop her, only saying leisurely, "Want to leave? Fairy, you are as sensible as ever. For the sake of our fleeting romance, this Young Master can let you go, but... will Duobao Tower let you off?"

The Wonderful Sword True Lord remained silent.

Zhong Ziqi slowly raised the hand that had touched the myriad jade sword and placed his two fingers to the tip of his nose. He seemed to smell the fragrance on the Wonderful Sword True Lord and revealed a look of intoxication.

The Wonderful Sword True Lord's expression darkened further and further.

"Fairy, now, you only have two choices to save your life."

"First, become this Young Master's concubine. From then on, all your Cultivation needs will be arranged by this Young Master. You won't need to contact Duobao Tower again, and with this Young Master's cover, Duobao Tower will never be able to find you to avenge their Young Master."

Cold light shot from the eyes of the Wonderful Sword True Lord, and her hand holding the sword suddenly tightened.

Zhong Ziqi seemed not to see the killing intent erupting from her body and continued to hold up two fingers.

"Second, join forces with this Young Master to kill Jin Fugui and his Dao Protector directly. Today's matter will rot completely in our hearts. No one will be able to guess who the perpetrators were. The world is vast, and you can go anywhere!"

"You must know that Jin Fugui's net worth is far higher than your two targets. At that time, this Young Master will not take a single cent of those two brothers' million-spirit-stone fortune, and this Young Master will only take half of Jin Fugui's. How about it?"

Zhong Ziqi looked at the Wonderful Sword True Lord with a smile, "Actually, I would prefer you to choose the first option. Fairy, your deliciousness leaves this Young Master with endless aftertaste."

Looking at Zhong Ziqi's reminiscent expression, the Wonderful Sword True Lord felt so disgusted she wanted to vomit!

"I choose the second!"

A triumphant smile flashed in Zhong Ziqi's eyes, but on his face, he appeared lost, "Why must you, Fairy? Jin Fugui is not so easy to kill."

The Wonderful Sword True Lord sneered, "That is your business. I will kill that pair of brothers, you kill Jin Fugui, and the Dao Protector will be left to the Dao Protector. If you agree, I will act."

Zhong Ziqi's smile did not change, and he nodded, "Agreed."

The Wonderful Sword True Lord stared at Zhong Ziqi vigilantly, "Then why not act?"

"That Golden Steel Formation is Jin Fugui's handiwork, so it should naturally be for you to break."

Zhong Ziqi sighed, "Is it necessary for you, Fairy, to draw such a clear line with this Young Master?"

The Wonderful Sword True Lord's eyes were cold, "Are you going to act or not?"

Zhong Ziqi seemed forced and helpless, saying with a doting face, "As you wish."

With a flip of his hand, he took out a formation-breaking talisman and threw it casually. The formation-breaking talisman, carrying the momentum of thunder and lightning, smashed into the Wind Eagle with a roar.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The Golden Steel Shield only lasted less than three breaths before it shattered with a roar, turning into spiritual light and dissipating into the air.

Jin Fugui's expression was very ugly, "A formation-breaking talisman? There is someone else. Who is it? Come out!"

Zhong Ziqi's laughter came from afar and approached, "Brother Wealthy, have you been well?"

"Yun Shang Sect, Zhong Ziqi! You want to make a move on me?"

Zhong Ziqi sighed faintly, as if a thousand words and many difficulties were all dissolved in that one sigh.

"Brother Wealthy, please!"

Jin Fugui's face was as gloomy as water, and he looked at the brothers Xiao Tian and Su Xin with some worry.

"Hold on, I will come to help you after I beat him back."

Although he said that, Jin Fugui had no confidence at all in his heart.

To let two in the Qi Refining Stage hold on against a Golden Core cultivator, he could only pin his hopes on the defensive Magical Artifacts on them being sturdy enough.

Xiao Tian said carelessly, "Big Brother Jin, do you need help?"

Jin Fugui said helplessly, "No need."

After saying this, he leaped down from the back of the Wind Eagle, stepped on a golden abacus, and rushed towards Zhong Ziqi with a whoosh.

As soon as Jin Fugui left the back of the Wind Eagle, a sword beam seemed to come from the sky, carrying silver light, and fiercely descended towards the Xiao Tian brothers on the back of the Wind Eagle.

The expressions of Xiao Tian and Su Xin both suddenly tightened, but their methods of receiving the move were different.

The impulsive Xiao Tian, who had no clear understanding of the Cultivation World's Realms, stepped fiercely on the back of the Wind Eagle without fear, and the Wind Eagle was forced down several dozen meters by his stomp.

And he himself, borrowing the force of the rebound, gripped the lightning-flashing heaven-shattering hammer and soared into the sky.

Su Xin had just taken out the Formation Plate to activate it when he felt the Wind Eagle falling rapidly. As soon as he stabilized his figure, he saw Xiao Tian rushing out and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Tian! Come back!"

Hearing Su Xin's anxious voice, Jin Fugui looked back, his heart almost jumping out in fright.

His figure stalled, wanting to return to help, but Zhong Ziqi blocked him in front.

"Brother Wealthy, you must not underestimate me too much."

The two immediately clashed.

Jin Fugui shouted to the sky, "Uncle Fu."

Zhong Ziqi smiled faintly, "Elder Dao."

Above the clouds in the sky, sounds of fighting came.

"You..." Jin Fugui was furious, "How have my two brothers offended you?"

Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly, "It is not that they offended me, but a beauty requested it, and I could not bear to refuse. Let us just see how they solve it themselves!"

Jin Fugui laughed in extreme anger, "You are letting a Golden Core cultivator and two Qi Refining Stage cultivators solve it themselves? Isn't that just sending them to their deaths?!"

Zhong Ziqi's smile on his face was like a mask, remaining unchanged in the slightest. He flicked his finger and knocked away the golden abacus that Jin Fugui had smashed over, "Then that is just their bad luck; who can you blame?"

Jin Fugui's face turned completely cold, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce, wanting to end the battle quickly.

Zhong Ziqi blocked with some difficulty and couldn't help but get a little genuinely angry.

On this side, there was give and take, while on the other side, the battlefield with a huge disparity in strength was not as overwhelming as imagined.

The Wonderful Sword True Lord's sword strike, which seemed to carry the entire galaxy falling down, was actually blocked by Xiao Tian wielding the heaven-shattering hammer!

Although he blocked it, Xiao Tian did not have an easy time.

His hands holding the hammer were shaken by the surging spiritual power. The overwhelming force poured into Xiao Tian's hands from the hammer handle, his tiger's mouth suddenly split, and brilliant blood flowers bloomed on his arms.

In just one exchange, Xiao Tian's arms were stained with blood, and the blood soaked his dark purple python robe.

It was not just that.

As the stalemate continued, the lightning light tightly sucked onto the myriad jade sword, and blood slowly flowed from the corner of Xiao Tian's mouth.

Xiao Tian had also suffered internal injuries that were definitely not light!

But, he had blocked it after all!

"Hiss~ Is he really just at the Qi Refining Stage?"
