101: Hunting

"Xiangxiang, blast them!"

Xuan Qi's shoulders shook as Jiu Xiang's pupils went blank, her body floating up involuntarily.

Mysterious Immortal Radiance shot out from her body, covering the sky and earth as it enveloped the pursuers behind them.

There was no time to check the effect.

After unleashing this strike, Jiu Xiang's spiritual energy was completely depleted, leaving her incredibly weak.

Fortunately, the Immortal Radiance temporarily separated them from the chasing foreign Prodigies.

"How unlucky, to actually bump into so many of those Foreign Race fellows," Shi Jian said with some resentment.

If there were fewer people, it would be manageable.

But now, six Reflecting Nine Heavenss and fifteen at the Peak of the Guixu Realm had arrived.

With such a vast disparity in numbers, they could only run.

Xuan Qi's eyes were cold to the extreme.

"Is it really just bad luck?"

"I don't think so."

Shi Jian suddenly looked up. "You mean?"

"They all carry the same spatial aura; it's obvious they were just teleported here."

"This is a premeditated hunt!" Xuan Qi clenched his fists.

"How do they know we're here?" Shi Jian asked in surprise.

"Perhaps some big shot helped them lock onto our position, or maybe someone among us leaked the information..."

!!!

Shi Jian found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Who do you suspect?"

"I don't suspect anyone without evidence," Xuan Qi said in a deep voice. "Within the Imperial City, searching for information about us is as easy as turning over a hand."

"What I'm more curious about is, what is their goal?"

"Is it for the captain... or something else..."

"Never mind that for now; we have to find a way to shake them off so the captain and the others can find a chance to escape."

Shi Jian nodded heavily.

"What about Xue Yi and Qin Tian?"

Xuan Qi fell silent.

"We can only pray their luck is good enough..."

On the other side.

The Immortal Radiance was blasted apart.

One by one, powerful Foreign Race beings revealed themselves.

The leading creature gave a grim smile. "Heaven-sent Immortal Light, indeed troublesome."

"That Little Girl is mine; you guys can split the others among yourselves."

Just as the words fell, the spatial Magical Artifact in the Foreign Race being's palm flashed with lightning.

"Want to run?"

"Do you think you can escape!"

...At the same time.

Qin Tian spoke solemnly, "Something's happened."

"The captain and the others have been ambushed."

Xue Yi's expression changed abruptly, and she spoke without hesitation, "We're going there right now!"

She knew that Qin Tian possessed a special Magic Treasure that allowed him to perceive things she could not.

"I'm afraid there isn't enough time." Qin Tian hesitated to speak.

Xue Yi paused, coming to a realization, and a brief blush flashed across her face.

Then, she wrapped her arms around Qin Tian's neck.

A faint, elegant body fragrance entered his nose, causing Qin Tian's breathing to hitch slightly.

"Use... your spatial Divine Ability to get us there..."

"Is this... alright..."

A voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz sounded in his ear.

Qin Tian took the opportunity to put his arm around her waist.

Xue Yi gave a soft hum, her body becoming slightly stiff.

"Hold on tight!"

「Void Enticement: Void Escape」

Void energy surged, and Qin Tian disappeared while holding Xue Yi... "Run!"

"Keep running!"

“Psh! You don't really think you can escape, do you?”

Fifteen foreign Prodigies surrounded Xuan Qi, Shi Jian, and Jiu Xiang.

Xuan Qi looked around and said coldly, "Xiong Tuo, bringing so many people—were you scared after being beaten into a scurrying mess last time?"

“Psh! You really think you could defeat me?” The Foreign Race being named Xiong Tuo laughed loudly. “Last time, it was just that something went wrong inside my body, and I didn't feel like entangling with you.”

“I'm ranked in the top fifty of the Guixu Realm in the Eternal Foreign Realm. You ants of the Ancient Immortal Realm still want to fight me? In your dreams!”

Xuan Qi smiled, "Is that so? Then do you dare to duel one-on-one?"

“Psh!” Xiong Tuo laughed even louder. “One-on-one? Do you think this is a tournament?”

“Stop wasting words with them. Slaughter them, then go find that Xue Clan woman!”

Xuan Qi and Shi Jian's pupils shrank.

They were here for Xue Yi?

But why?

Before Xuan Qi could figure it out, the fifteen Foreign Race beings attacked simultaneously!

"Hmph!"

"If you want to kill us, then leave a few behind to be our cushions in death!"

Xuan Qi bit the tip of his tongue, spraying essence blood as his aura climbed to its Peak.

Shi Jian slammed his fists together, producing the sound of clashing metal; his eyes turned blood-red, nearly losing his sanity to pure slaughter.

Jiu Xiang's body floated up; even though she was weak, she still activated the Immortal Radiance within her body, sending it shooting out in all directions.

"Kill!"

The great battle broke out instantly.

The three of them faced fifteen foreign Prodigies.

Blood sprayed and flesh flew; it was extremely tragic.

But.

Two fists are no match for four hands, let alone one against five.

Before long, the three began to retreat step by step, eventually being heavily struck to the ground.

"Hmph!"

“You killed so many Prodigies of our Eternal Foreign Realm; now you're finally going to die.” Xiong Tuo licked the blood from his claws, sounding somewhat excited.

"Die?"

"We're going to die sooner or later; to be able to pull you down with us is already worth it." Xuan Qi grinned, his blood-stained teeth revealing an eerie light.

The Grotto-Heaven within his body shook violently, about to erupt!

“Want to self-detonate?”

“Hmph! It's not that easy!”

Xiong Tuo lunged a claw toward Xuan Qi's Dantian Qi Sea.

The speed was unimaginably fast.

Xuan Qi's face darkened.

Could it be that he couldn't even manage to self-detonate... Just then.

The void trembled.

Scalding blood stained the sky.

A huge sharp claw flew through the air in an arc before crashing to the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"AH——!!!!"

Xiong Tuo reacted belatedly, letting out a shrill cry of agonizing pain!

"WHO IS IT!!!"

Xuan Qi, Shi Jian, and Jiu Xiang were all stunned at the same time.

From within the void, Qin Tian stepped out while holding Xue Yi.

Blood was still dripping continuously from the sword in Xue Yi's hand.

Xuan Qi's expression changed drastically.

"What are you doing here!"

"Leave quickly!!"

The Foreign Race's target was likely Xue Yi, and a peerless Genius like Qin Tian absolutely could not die here.

“It hurts... it really hurts...” Xiong Tuo was somewhat frenzied as his severed claw began to regenerate.

“Psh, but to be able to find you, a little pain is worth it.”

He directly ignored Qin Tian.

A fellow in the Tongyou Realm simply couldn't enter his sight.

Xuan Qi struggled to his feet, wanting to protect them.

Qin Tian said softly, "If you're injured, then rest well."

"I'll handle these fellows."

Xuan Qi was startled.

Upon hearing this, the fifteen Foreign Race beings showed even more mocking expressions on their faces.

“What did I just hear?”

“A guy in the Tongyou Realm actually wants to take us on!”

“Hahaha! This is simply the biggest joke I've ever heard!”

The corner of Qin Tian's lips curled up. "Laugh then; this should be the last time in your lives you'll ever laugh."

"Feel it well, remember this feeling now, because in a moment you might not be able to laugh anymore."

“Hahaha! Just with you?” A figure with a snake's head said disdainfully, “Someone like you, I could crush a whole swarm of with one finger!”

Xue Yi's eyes turned cold, killing intent surging.

Qin Tian looked over, his gaze calm.

He never bothered arguing with corpses.

Buzz!

The Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body flickered with golden light.

Void ripples surged, and in an instant, Qin Tian appeared behind that snake-headed creature.

Then, he directly tore it in half with his bare hands...
