"It seems today…you're going to hell!" Ye Qiu's voice was cold.
Sharp arrows flew out with it!
"Don't underestimate me! Fourth Soul Skill, Blade Qi Bodyguard! Ha!"
Mo Dao let out a fierce shout, and the fourth purple spirit ring on his body flashed with a faint light. He didn't pick up the great blade embedded in the ground, but merely straightened it, with the tip pointing down, pressing it downwards.
Poof! He plunged the blade tip into the ground, spirit power surging, transforming into a chaotic blade qi that scattered in all directions.
Clang! Clang! Sparks flew, and several arrows were all knocked away.
"Hehe…next, I'll…" Mo Dao looked up and grinned. The crisis was averted, and the advantage was his!
But…when he saw the playful look in Ye Qiu's eyes, his words involuntarily stopped.
"Sorry, there is no 'next' for you!" Ye Qiu pointed at his neck, then wiggled his index finger.
"Ugh—Pfft!" Mo Dao's neck stiffened, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looking incredulously at the arrow stuck in his neck.
"This, this…ugh, cough, cough…" The great blade in his hand dissipated, and blood choked his throat, preventing him from speaking. Clasping his neck with both hands couldn't stop the flowing blood.
"It's easy to understand. Actually, I fired two waves of arrows, but you only saw one!" Ye Qiu hooked his index finger. It was just using an illusion to cover up such a simple action of pulling the trigger!
With a thud, Mo Dao fell straight down, his eyes wide open.
Before he died, his mind was filled with a pair of blood-red eyes with three tomoe.
Scanning the battlefield, Ye Qiu realized that using illusions in combat was also a good choice!
Those who didn't understand him would easily fall for it!
After the baptism of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, his mental force had also greatly increased. Deceiving some inferior Spirit Ancestors was more than enough, and if he used Tsukuyomi, even newly advanced Spirit Kings would stumble!
Green light permeated Ye Qiu's body, gathering into a human form, and a natural fragrance wafted to his nose.
Xiao Lan appeared in his arms.
"Brother! Are you hurt?"
As soon as she came out, she began to grope Ye Qiu all over.
"Alright! Why are you getting more and more unruly?" Ye Qiu pushed her hands away.
"I was just worried about you~" She pouted. She wished she wouldn't grow up. Ever since she had a breakthrough, her brother hadn't hugged her much.
Ignoring the Jiao Xiao Lan, Ye Qiu hugged her and jumped off the horse, releasing the Emerald Cloud Winged Tiger he hadn't seen in a long time.
The tiger cub was also extremely affectionate towards Ye Qiu, running to him with a hint of reliance in its eyes, sticking out its tongue to give him a face wash. Fortunately, Xiao Lan stood in front to stop it.
"Brother! Why did you look for a female tiger back then?" She held down the tiger's head, glared fiercely at the tiger cub, then complained to Ye Qiu with a hint of resentment in her voice.
"How could I have thought so much back then? Wasn't it enough if I could ride it?" Ye Qiu rolled his eyes speechlessly. After comforting the tiger cub, he pulled Xiao Lan onto its back.
"Alright! Let's leave here as soon as possible. The scent of blood will attract many Spirit Beasts."
Leaning in Ye Qiu's arms, Xiao Lan's mood improved a lot.
After the tiger cub ran for a distance, she tugged at its ear again, pulling it to a stop.
"Roar~" The Emerald Cloud Winged Tiger let out a mournful cry.
"Xiao Lan? What's wrong with you again?" Ye Qiu looked at her confused.
"Brother, where exactly are we going? Are we just going to keep walking like this?" Even though the tiger cub stopped, Xiao Lan still hadn't let go of its ear.
"…" Xiao Lan's words made Ye Qiu freeze.
By the way, which direction was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in? Ye Qiu had forgotten the description in the original book, only knowing that it was located deep within the Sunset Forest.
Looking around, the forest was vast. Where should he start looking?
Ye Qiu's eyebrows were furrowed together.
"Hoo~" Gently exhaling, Ye Qiu's Sharingan was already activated, and purple mist churned in the pupils between the three tomoe.
With his current mental force, the range he could see was very limited. Two thousand meters was the limit!
His vision quickly penetrated the trees in front of him and spread into the distance. He saw…people forming teams to hunt Spirit Beasts, people fleeing for their lives from Spirit Beast chases…but there was no sign of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As Ye Qiu observed his surroundings, Xiao Lan stared intently at him.
"Brother Ye Qiu's eyes~ they're too beautiful!"
Her body got closer and closer, and her small face became obsessed.
Ye Qiu, focused, didn't notice Xiao Lan's actions. He turned his head and continued to see through his surroundings. What he saw was the slaughter between humans and the infighting among Spirit Beasts, all within his sight.
But the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was still nowhere to be seen.
Ye Qiu's face was a little awkward. His x-ray vision could indeed see very far, but some of the things he saw were quite inappropriate for children. He didn't do it on purpose.
His eyes were already bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily. Operating the Sharingan at full power was indeed a heavy burden, and his mental force was severely depleted.
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu suddenly felt a slight chill on his cheek. Xiao Lan, he didn't know when, had turned and pressed against him, wrapping her arms around his waist, and hanging onto him once again.
There was still a trace of drool at the corner of her mouth.
"Xiao Lan!" Ye Qiu was a little annoyed, his face flushed with anger!
However, after calling out her name, she didn't react. Instead, she moved towards Ye Qiu's mouth again.
Pressing her forehead, Ye Qiu finally realized her abnormality.
Her originally azure blue eyes were now tinged with pink, looking somewhat alluring.
"Brother Ye Qiu~ so beautiful~" Even with her head pressed, she wasn't still, hugging his neck and trying to get closer to him.
"Uh~" Seeing this familiar scene, Ye Qiu finally remembered that this should be the fault of his eyes.
Shaking his head helplessly, he had no choice but to give Xiao Lan another flick on the forehead.
"Ah~" The misty tears in her eyes, as she blinked, turned into teardrops and squeezed out from the corners of her eyes.
"Ugh~ It hurts!" She lowered her head, covering her forehead, then angrily raised her head, "Brother! Why did you hit Xiao Lan again?"
"Look at what you've done?" Ye Qiu lowered his head, looking at her, and pointing at his cheek, "Just now the tiger cub didn't wash my face, but you gave it a thorough wash!"
"I~ Xiao Lan didn't do it on purpose!" She lowered her head aggrievedly, muttering softly.
"Alright, put your legs down first~" Ye Qiu rubbed her head, helping her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Don't stare at my eyes next time."
"Why? They're clearly very beautiful!"
"Put your legs down first!" Ye Qiu raised his voice slightly, afraid that he would show an embarrassing expression.
"Okay~ Brother, don't be angry~"
After she let go, Ye Qiu moved back a bit, feeling a little hot.
Xiao Lan, on the other hand, gently helped him straighten his slightly disheveled collar.
…
The brief farce ended. Although Ye Qiu's reconnaissance earlier was fruitless, he planned to search for a while first.
