211: Chapter 211 One Hundred Times, One Hundred Times

Li Qing said nothing.

He silently helped Feng Qingzhu tend to her injuries.

Only then did Feng Qingzhu put on her green robes, covering her perfect, delicate body.

"What is your name?"

Feng Qingzhu turned around, her eyes like a deep, tranquil lake as she looked at Li Qing.

"Li Qing."

Li Qing said softly.

Li Qing.

Feng Qingzhu etched this name into the depths of her heart.

At that moment, a faint cold mist began to emerge from the Void Realm, and a bone-chilling coldness gradually enveloped Li Qing.

[Hongmeng Cold Energy.]

[Holy crap, I almost forgot about this.]

[Whenever night falls in the Hongmeng Great World, Hongmeng Cold Energy appears.]

[Although Hongmeng Cold Energy isn't fatal, it makes Cultivators feel the cold.]

[The lower the cultivation, the greater the impact.]

Why is he reacting so strongly to the Hongmeng Cold Energy?

Shouldn't this be common knowledge for every Cultivator in the Grandmist Realm?

Feng Qingzhu's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Rumble."

Just then, a thunderous roar echoed through the sky, cracks appeared in the Void Realm, and a giant eye emerged from within the fissures.

"It's a World-Devouring Beast."

Feng Qingzhu's expression shifted in alarm as she soared into the sky.

"Hum."

A beam of Grandmist Sword Light shot upwards, blasting the eye into pieces with a single strike.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the Void Realm collapsed, and a giant claw slammed violently into Feng Qingzhu, swatting her away.

"Roar."

A shrill, miserable howl came from outside the realm, gradually fading into the distance.

The shattered Void Realm instantly healed itself.

[The World-Devouring Beasts are appearing so frequently.]

[I'm afraid Gu Beichen has already arrived in this realm.]

[He's a jinx; whichever world he goes to, that world will know no peace.]

Li Qing's figure blurred, and he quickly appeared beneath Feng Qingzhu, catching her in his arms.

At the same time, he carried her as he rushed into a mountain cave.

Not long after.

Li Qing began to tend to Feng Qingzhu's injuries again.

"It's too strange."

"The World-Devouring Beasts have been appearing far too frequently lately."

A faint blush appeared on Feng Qingzhu's face as she slowly put on her green robes, covering her perfect body.

[Frequent is an understatement.]

[It's going to get even more chaotic later.]

[The Heavenly Dao of your Grandmist World has even schemed against itself just to take a step further.]

The Heavenly Dao?

Is the Heavenly Dao behind this?

Feng Qingzhu's brows furrowed slightly.

"After daybreak, follow me to the Hongmeng Sword Sect," Feng Qingzhu said softly.

"Hongmeng Sword Sect?"

[That's right, Feng Qingzhu is the Sect Master of the Hongmeng Sword Sect and also the Ten-Thousand-Mile Boundary Guardian.]

[By going to the Hongmeng Sword Sect, the plot will officially begin.]

"Alright."

Li Qing nodded slightly.

The next day.

Li Qing and Feng Qingzhu left the cave.

Hongmeng Sword Sect.

One of the thousands of Sects in the Grandmist World, neither too large nor too small.

Li Qing followed Feng Qingzhu to a massive peak; many Disciples bowed to her while curiously sizing up Li Qing.

"Take this."

"From now on, you are a Disciple of the Hongmeng Sword Sect."

Feng Qingzhu tossed a jade token emitting hongmeng purple qi to Li Qing.

"Rumble."

Just then, the Void Realm above the Hongmeng Sword Sect suddenly split open, and a giant mouth reached out, inhaling toward the Sect.

"Vile beast, how dare you!"

A loud shout resounded within the Sect as a terrifying beam of Chaos light shot into the sky, blasting the giant mouth apart.

[They've even locked onto the Sect's location.]

"Astral Realm Shift."

Suddenly, a violent voice echoed in the Void Realm, and a grey pillar of light erupted from the rift, slamming directly into the Hongmeng Sword Sect.

A terrifying grey shockwave swept out.

"This is..."

"Not good."

Li Qing pulled Feng Qingzhu into his arms.

Feng Qingzhu stared at Li Qing with wide eyes.

What she didn't notice was a flash of Chaos light passing through the spot where she had been standing.

The grey shockwave swept over them, and the moment it touched Li Qing and Feng Qingzhu, the two vanished from the spot.

Li Qing felt space being stretched at extreme speed; when his vision cleared, he found himself in a canyon.

"Hehe, go ahead and scream. No one will come to save you even if you scream your head off."

A sinister laugh reached their ears.

Li Qing: "..."

This voice was all too familiar to him.

[Gu Beichen.]

Sweeping his gaze, he saw Gu Beichen in the distance, cornering a heavily injured woman in white and slowly approaching her.

[Damn, every time I run into this guy, he's up to no good.]

[What's even more speechless is that if it weren't for Li Qing, Feng Qingzhu would have been heavily injured and sent here too.]

[Gu Beichen wants double the pleasure.]

There's someone here.

The woman in white was startled.

She then noticed Li Qing and the other.

"Truly a beauty..."

"Cough."

Li Qing suddenly gave a light cough.

This sudden sound gave Gu Beichen a fright.

He turned around and swept his gaze over.

His whole world turned upside down.

"Li Qing."

Gu Beichen glared at Li Qing, gritting his teeth.

"Pfft."

After seeing Gu Beichen's appearance clearly, Li Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Right now, this guy looked exactly like a beggar.

The clothes on his body had been reduced to tattered rags.

In many places, there were even deep gashes where the bone was visible.

"Li Qing."

"You dog, you're not even human."

"Do you know how much damage that one finger strike did to me?"

Gu Beichen roared.

Do you freaking know how I've spent these past few days?

I was freaking ravaged a hundred times, oh, a hundred times, by those Outer Dao World Devouring Beasts.

I've suffered both physical and mental trauma.

I, Gu Beichen, will definitely kill you.

"Oh, isn't this Little Gu?"

"Look at you, always up to no good."

"Trying to bully a girl again."

Li Qing chuckled.

"That... could you let go of me first?"

Feng Qingzhu bit her lower lip as she looked at Li Qing.

How can this man be like this, holding on and not letting go?

"Sorry, I saw an old friend and forgot for a moment."

Li Qing chuckled.

Then he let go.

Feng Qingzhu quickly backed away a few steps, feeling her body temperature rising to a frightening level.

"What a beautiful woman."

The moment Gu Beichen saw Feng Qingzhu, his eyes suddenly lit up.

[Tsk tsk, this Gu Beichen is something else.]

[As expected of a stallion protagonist; even injured like this, he still has designs on Feng Qingzhu.]

This voice.

It's his inner thoughts.

The woman in white was stunned.

What?

He is Gu Beichen.

Feng Qingzhu's brows shot up in anger.

"Die."

With a wave of her sleeve, a beam of Grandmist Violet Light appeared, blasting Gu Beichen away and sending him vanishing into the canyon.

Li Qing: "..."

Gu Beichen: "..."

"Li Qing, I won't let you get away with this."

"I'll be back!"

"Ah!"

Gu Beichen's heart-wrenching wail echoed from the horizon.

"Pfft."

Just then, the woman in white suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At the same time, a lot of fine sweat appeared on her forehead, and an unnatural blush surfaced on her face.

[Holy crap, it really is just like the original plot; she came here after being poisoned by Grandmist Joyous Powder.]

[It's over, it's over. Anything with 'Grandmist' in its name has incredibly potent medicinal effects.]

[No wonder Gu Beichen wailed like his parents died; the meat that was practically in his mouth just flew away.]

"Fel... Fellow Daoist... I... can't... hold... on... anymore..."

The woman in white looked at Li Qing with hazy eyes.

Li Qing: "..."
