Chapter 99

Under Lin Xi's instructions, the Vampire Queen slowed down a bit. As the distance between the two sides closed, the massive green dragon became clearly visible, and even the angry cold light in Zhou Kelǐ's eyes could be seen clearly.

"No matter where you run, you can't escape from my palm! I will make you deeply understand the consequences of angering me!"

Zhou Kelǐ's voice was like a burning flame. His sharp gaze seemed to pierce through Lin Xi.

"Then come on!"

Lin Xi flipped his palm and immediately attacked.

Boom!

With this move, the sky seemed to collapse and the earth to split, the atmosphere completely different from before. Vast true qi surged, covering the sky and earth, and poured into the golden giant tripod.

Then, Lin Xi's body trembled, and a clear qi, vast and mighty like a thousand horses galloping, burst out from the Ten Thousand Emperors' Robe, transforming into a hundred-foot-long qi wave, and surged towards Zhou Kelǐ and the others.

"Impossible!!"

Zhou Kelǐ's expression was terrified, as if he had seen a ghost, staring at the overwhelming true qi. Even the experts of Taiyi Sect beside him were shocked, completely unable to believe their eyes.

Because this clear qi was none other than the true qi of Zhou Kelǐ's Doushui Palace, which he had previously used to attack Lin Xi.

"Explode! Explode!"

The true qi in Lin Xi's body flowed like a river, continuous and unending. In the blink of an eye, two low-grade magical weapons hidden in the true qi also exploded violently.

Boom! Boom!

The explosions of the two low-grade magical weapons were earth-shattering, comparable to the full-force attack of a third-stage Qi Cultivation expert.

When the three terrifying destructive torrents converged and poured down, Zhou Kelǐ and the experts of Taiyi Sect were all shocked.

Lin Xi deliberately let them get close, and had been preparing to strike. With the Vampire Queen Camilla's unparalleled speed, there was no way for them to dodge.

Zhou Kelǐ and the leader of the Taiyi Sect disciples had never taken Lin Xi seriously. They had always seen him as a weakling who knew he couldn't fight them and thus secretly stole from them, never placing him on the same level as themselves. They never expected Lin Xi to be able to unleash such a shocking attack.

"Brother Wang, be careful!"

Zhou Kelǐ shouted.

"Senior Brother Zhou, let's go all out!"

The leader of the Taiyi Sect disciples said.

The faces of the two Qi Cultivation experts showed unprecedented tension. Their bodies trembled, and their true qi surged, covering the sky and earth, and burst out with overwhelming force.

Boom! Boom!

Two earth-shattering explosions, and the leaders of Doushui and Taiyi Sects were thrown back. At the same time, Lin Xi was also thrown off the Vampire Queen Camilla by the massive force.

Flash!

A flash of light, and Camilla, swift as lightning, caught Lin Xi and placed him back on her back. In aerial combat, the Vampire Queen had unparalleled speed and agility.

"Third-stage Qi Cultivation experts are truly formidable!"

Lin Xi wiped a mouthful of blood, turned around, and with a smile, shook his head at Zhou Kelǐ and the other Taiyi Sect expert, making a victory gesture.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Kelǐ, grinding his teeth in anger, was about to pursue. Suddenly, his face changed. The green dragon in front of them, which had been intact, was now shattered to pieces.

—Lin Xi's earth-shattering attack from the beginning was not aimed at the two of them, but at the green dragon beneath them, created by true qi.

Reaching the third stage of Qi Cultivation, one possesses the ability to create and control. Although the green dragon was difficult to kill and could regenerate, Lin Xi noticed that the more severe the damage, the longer it took to re-form.

Indeed, Lin Xi's attack, combining the power of the golden giant tripod, the explosion of the magical weapons, and Zhou Kelǐ's own true qi, along with the full-force attacks of Zhou Kelǐ and the other Taiyi Sect expert, directly shattered the green dragon into pieces.

Now, the green dragon, a creation of true qi, was still in a chaotic state, not yet recovered.

Without the green dragon to carry them, even though Zhou Kelǐ and the leader of the Taiyi Sect disciples were third-stage Qi Cultivation experts, they did not have the ability to fly and would fall directly from the sky.

"Damn it! You can't escape. You have completely offended Doushui Palace, and you will die wherever you go!!"

Zhou Kelǐ's eyes were bloodshot, his killing intent overwhelming, completely losing the calm and composed demeanor of a Daoist disciple.

This trip to the Black Dragon Space, joining forces with Doushui and Taiyi Sects, was meant to be a sure success, even at the cost of offending Beidou Palace. Unexpectedly, a surprise attack by a third party, due to a moment of carelessness, resulted in the loss of the Black Dragon Beast Dan and the dragon egg.

Zhou Kelǐ, who always held himself in high regard, could not bear this humiliation, especially since the opponent was clearly not very powerful!

"Hum!"

Zhou Kelǐ, despite his unwillingness, lost his support in the air and fell like a wooden stake, along with the leader of the Taiyi Sect disciples, from the high sky.

"Roar! ——"

As the two fell, the green dragon finally re-formed. But by then, the Vampire Queen had already carried Lin Xi into the clouds, almost out of sight.

Zhou Kelǐ had two choices: one was to command the dragon to descend and catch him, but this would mean losing Lin Xi. The second choice was to use the dragon's indestructibility to pursue Lin Xi and the Vampire Queen, not stopping until they were dead.

Zhou Kelǐ, without hesitation, immediately ordered the newly formed green dragon to pursue. At the same time, he and the leader of the Taiyi Sect disciples fell to the ground.

Boom! Boom!

Zhou Kelǐ and the leader of the Taiyi Sect disciples fell like two cannonballs, creating two large craters. They leaped out of the holes, covered in dust, with traces of blood at the corners of their mouths.

The sky was a forbidden zone for humans!

Before reaching the fourth stage of Qi Immortal Realm, even third-stage Qi Cultivation experts would be injured falling from such a height. If not for the ability of Qi Cultivation experts to lighten their bodies, they would have been killed outright.

The two stood at the edge of the craters, their expressions grim.

"Senior Brother Zhou, what should we do? This mission is a complete failure!"

The leader of the Taiyi Sect disciples, wearing a golden crown and white robe, looked up. The green dragon and the Vampire Queen were nowhere to be seen.

"Even if we fail, I need to know who interfered and took what belonged to us. Doushui Palace is a major Daoist sect, and has never been toyed with like this! I won't let him off!"

Zhou Kelǐ's face showed a chilling coldness. Even the leader of the Taiyi Sect disciples felt a bone-chilling cold.

"We were too careless. We thought that with the Beidou Palace disciples gone, no one would dare to challenge us. We didn't expect the Vampire Queen, disguised as a bat, to ambush us and take the dragon dan. This person may not be very powerful, but his mind is meticulous and cannot be underestimated."

Senior Brother Wang said.

Thinking of the situation where the opponent used three low-grade magical weapons to explode, even he had to admire the opponent's decisiveness. Such courage, he admitted, he did not have.

However, in that situation, if he hadn't exploded the three low-grade magical weapons, he might not have escaped.

Zhou Kelǐ's eyes were sharp, a glint of light flashing in them, and his entire body exuded a dangerous aura:

"This guy is masked, and his true face is unclear. But does he really think we can't find out? The Vampire Queen is very rare. Investigate the disciples of all the sects, and see who has tamed a Vampire Queen. That will narrow down his identity. And you should have noticed, although his martial arts are not high, he has a mid-grade golden magical weapon..."

"Ah!"

Senior Brother Wang was startled, as if he had thought of something:

"Do you suspect a disciple of Shenxiao Sect? Could it be one of the Qi Cultivation experts from Beidou Palace?"

The identity of the opponent, involving Shenxiao Sect's Long Bingyan, was a troublesome woman. Instinctively, he did not want to involve her.

"Hmph! The disciples of Beidou Palace wouldn't have the nerve. Especially since they were ordered by their elders to return. As for that guy, I can't confirm his identity yet, and I can't just take his word for it. We'll know the truth after we ask Shenxiao Sect's Long Bingyan."

Zhou Kelǐ said, a fierce look in his eyes.

Given his status, he couldn't directly question Shenxiao Sect's Long Bingyan. But because of the black dragon, he had sent a magical symbol to the elders of Doushui Palace, even using the black dragon's beast dan and dragon egg as bait to pressure Beidou Palace through the higher-ups of Doushui Palace.

Now that the mission had failed, he could afford to lose face, but the elders of Doushui Palace could not.

Given Long Bingyan's status, she could ignore his questioning, but she could not ignore the inquiry of the elders of Doushui Palace.

No matter what, the elders of Doushui Palace would personally verify the truth with Long Bingyan, so he didn't need to worry about it!

"Very well. If such a person is from Shenxiao Sect, with such audacity, not even Long Bingyan is taken seriously, and with such meticulous thinking, daring to steal from us, and with such strong combat awareness and experience, he could be a significant threat to us in the future. We must find a way to eliminate him!"

The leader of the Taiyi Sect disciples said.

Taiyi Sect excelled in swordsmanship and killing techniques, with naturally superior combat awareness and experience compared to other sects. As an outstanding disciple of the sect, he was particularly skilled in this area.

However, even with the combined efforts of him and an outstanding disciple of Doushui Palace, they couldn't defeat a first-stage Qi Cultivation opponent. This would be a laughingstock if it were known.

"Senior Brother Wang" recalled the battle scene. Although the opponent's strength was not high, the combat awareness and experience he displayed were astonishing, far exceeding the level of a first-stage Qi Cultivation practitioner.
