Chapter 1112

Although he had now advanced to the Core Formation Stage, his previous magical treasures—the Pure Yang Sword Box and the Golden Cutting Wheel—were now unusable.

However, he still had one magical treasure left!

With that thought, Qin Qi produced a crystal-clear bottle.

Upon closer inspection, wasn’t it precisely the Long River Bottle?

After Qin Qi took out the Long River Bottle, a surge of mana wove together, producing dense water mist.

In an instant, the mist spread across the entire Divine Firmament Platform.

Within the fog, Luo Mengyi, who previously held the upper hand, suddenly lost her sense of direction.

“Is that… Mo Qianyi junior brother’s Long River Bottle?” Luo Mengyi bit her silver teeth, “Qin Qi, you actually dare use our Xuan Yi Sect’s magical treasure against me? Qin Qi, show yourself!”

After speaking, Luo Mengyi began to cautiously look about.

Within the scope of the Long River Bottle, her sea of consciousness was clearly restricted, and no matter how she looked around, she couldn’t pinpoint Qin Qi’s position.

Qin Qi naturally heard Luo Mengyi’s furious outburst, and seeing her scanning everywhere, he felt quite satisfied.

“This Long River Bottle really is handy,” Qin Qi thought to himself, “I thought it’d only have some effect during Foundation Establishment Stage, but didn’t expect it to work on Core Formation cultivators as well!”

As long as Luo Mengyi’s sea of consciousness was sealed off, he had a chance to win!

At this thought, Qin Qi crept forward, using the mist for cover to get close to Luo Mengyi.

Then, he activated Flame Possession and Thousand Shadows.

“Go!”

Qin Qi controlled a torrent of golden mana, blasting straight at Luo Mengyi.

Luo Mengyi couldn’t react in time, and with all the Qin Qis under Thousand Shadows, she couldn’t tell which was real.

The golden mana slammed into her body, knocking her several meters backward.

“Hmph, such petty tricks and you think you can crack my defenses?” Luo Mengyi sneered, “Our Xuan Yi Sect’s True Qi Armor isn’t something you can shake or even comprehend!”

But despite her words, when she regained her senses and wanted to counterattack, Qin Qi had already vanished.

Qin Qi was already hiding in the shadows again.

“Shit!”

Qin Qi squinted, “That True Qi Armor really is tough. When I used it on myself, it felt great, but dealing with it on someone else is a real pain!”

Luo Mengyi’s cultivation was higher than his, and his golden mana and Supreme Yang True Flame couldn’t break her defenses for now.

“If only the Pure Yang Sword Box was still intact,” Qin Qi thought privately, “But now’s not the time to dwell on that.”

“If I can’t break it in one go, I’ll do it again and again!”

With that resolve, Qin Qi made up his mind.

He’d just play guerrilla warfare with her!

He stayed hidden, waiting for another opportunity!

Luo Mengyi remained vigilant, watching her surroundings.

But within the mist of the Long River Bottle, how could she possibly guard against Qin Qi?

Seizing the right moment, Qin Qi launched another attack.

Same old tactics: Thousand Shadows, Flame Possession, and golden mana!

This time, Luo Mengyi was on guard, but even so, she couldn’t figure out which direction Qin Qi was coming from.

As a result, Qin Qi’s Celestial Spirit Pure Yang Technique Power hammered her True Qi Armor once again.

By the time she tried to counterattack, Qin Qi was gone.

Driven to fury, Luo Mengyi clenched her powdery fists and roared, “Qin, are you done yet? If you’ve got guts, come out and face me fair and square!”

“Hiding like a coward, how is that impressive?”

Qin Qi chuckled, “Luo Mengyi, how can you say that? You’re Fourth Layer of Core Formation Stage, I’m First Layer. Plus, you know all my tricks!”

“Yet you want me to fight you openly? Didn’t you not demand a head-on duel at the start?”

“If you’re really unhappy, you could just leave the Divine Firmament Platform. My Long River Bottle’s mist only covers the platform—you really want to walk off, I can’t stop you!”

Hearing Qin Qi’s words, Luo Mengyi immediately locked onto his direction, unleashing a torrent of mana towards the source of his voice.

But after the mana blast, it was as if she was striking the depths of a valley—there was no response.

Qin Qi’s voice soon rang out again, but now from a different direction, “Heh, Luo Mengyi, did you really think tricking me into speaking would reveal my location? You think I’d fall for that?”

Luo Mengyi was so enraged by Qin Qi her delicate body trembled, biting her silver teeth, “Qin, so what if you’re hiding? My True Qi Armor—you really think you can break it?”

Qin Qi joked, “Luo Mengyi, your True Qi Armor might fool others, but you think it can fool me? Its defense has a limit—if I can’t break it once, I’ll break it a few more times!”

“After all, keeping True Qi Armor going eats up a ton of True Qi. Heh. Let’s just see who runs out first!”

Luo Mengyi shuddered inside, realizing Qin Qi had seen through her weakness.

This Qin Qi actually understood the True Qi Armor so well!

Before she could react,

Qin Qi struck again.

With this new attack, the golden mana slammed into her True Qi Armor for a third time!

Crack!

Luo Mengyi’s True Qi Armor finally showed cracks!

“Qin Qi!!”

Luo Mengyi was practically driven mad by Qin Qi, because right after his sneak attack he disappeared once more.

Just as he said, her True Qi Armor was now cracked; one more sneak attack and it’d probably shatter.

Seeing this, Luo Mengyi’s voice filled with rage, “Qin Qi, fine, fine, fine, you asked for it. Let’s see what you do this time!”

As she spoke, she flicked her wrist, and a strange bird with huge wings sprang out of the Spirit Pet Bag at her waist.

The bird wasn’t big, only about three or four feet, but as it appeared it let out a piercing cry that echoed across the entire Divine Firmament Platform!

Meanwhile, outside the Divine Firmament Platform, many spectators exchanged bewildered looks.

From their perspective, the whole platform was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what was really happening inside.

“What’s going on in there?”

“And what was that bird cry just now?”

“It sounded like the legendary call of a Wind slaying Bird.”

“Wind slaying Bird? That thing’s supposed to be incredibly hard to tame, but packs crazy destructive power, specializes in Wind Magic, and is lightning fast. Once it’s locked onto someone, there’s nowhere to run!”

“That’s exactly why Wind slaying Bird is so hard to tame—and isn’t it only supposed to show up in the Celestial Demon Forest?”

Wang Baihe stood with hands behind his back, “To think Mengyi was forced to use the Wind slaying Bird… what a shame. She originally meant to use it as her trump card in the Celestial Martial Competition.”
