Chapter 569: Taking Action
"We have been tracking this Ran Yi Blood Demon for many days and have finally hunted him down at the cost of injuries. Young Palace Master, please, for this reason, leave half of it for us." Wan Cheng said bravely.
"Yes, Young Palace Master, you are an important person. Please be magnanimous and leave half for us in consideration of our hard work." When Jin Yu saw Wan Cheng speaking, he also began to beg.
"In that case, why don't you all stay here too? What do you think?" Qi Rui said with a smile, tapping lightly on the chariot guardrail with his hand, making a "dong dong dong" sound.
"Young Palace Master, you are joking. We will leave now. We will leave now." Ji Xing bowed and apologized with a smile.
After saying that, Ji Xing took Ji Wu's hand and prepared to leave.
Wan Cheng and others' faces changed several times, but they finally parted the sea water and prepared to leave.
The opponent is too powerful!
There is one first-rank true immortal, four second-rank true immortals, including the one pulling the cart, and thirty-three earthly immortals in the late stage of the Immortal Infant realm.
Such a lineup is already comparable to that of a third-grade True Immortal.
The eight of them could never be the opponent's match, not to mention that Qi Rui was the young master of Ziyou Palace.
The Ziyou Palace is so powerful that even King Xuanwei of the Black Water Kingdom does not dare to offend it easily.
Among the eight people, only Qin Ziling was really concerned about Qi Rui's identity, so he decided to leave for the time being.
"I said, can you leave now?" Qi Rui's face darkened slightly at this time, and he uttered a few words lightly.
Qi Rui's words seemed to have a mysterious power that could freeze a person. Wan Cheng and the others were slightly shocked when they heard it, and they all stopped where they were.
"I'm already being merciful by letting you go. Otherwise, who would know if I killed you in this turbulent abyss? Even if they knew, what would happen? With your backgrounds, could you possibly cause any trouble?
It's a pity that you guys are pushing it too far and even want me to leave you half of the Ran Yi Blood Demon. How can I, Qi Rui, bargain for what I say? How can I get a discount? "Qi Rui said, his hand continued to gently tap the guardrail.
The sound of "boom, boom, boom" rang out in the turbulent abyss, like the footsteps of death approaching.
Wan Cheng and others showed complex expressions of fear, humiliation and anger on their faces.
"There will be a price to pay for pushing your luck. How about this, the six of you kill the two people who just spoke, and I will let you go. Otherwise, all of you will stay." Qi Rui said slowly, looking down at Qin Ziling and the others, like a cat looking at a mouse, full of teasing.
The eight people's faces changed drastically. The surroundings were very quiet. Only the sound of Qi Rui's fingers tapping the chariot guardrail sounded like a death drum in everyone's ears.
"Everyone has his own consequences! I'll stay and you let them go." After a long time, Jin Yu suddenly stepped forward and said.
"Me too!" Seeing this, Wan Cheng took a step forward with a look of grief and indignation on his face.
Seeing Jinyu and Wancheng take the initiative to step forward, Ji Xing and his wife were obviously relieved, while Wan Fei and Qu Jiao bit their lips, clenched their fists, and their veins bulged.
While Biteng was feeling grief-stricken and angry, he was observing Qin Ziling out of the corner of his eye.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!" Qi Rui suddenly clapped his hands and said with a sarcastic look on his face: "What a good example of everyone taking responsibility for their own actions. I'm so touched!"
"Young Palace Master, as the saying goes, leave a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future. Why do you have to go to such extremes? You are unwilling to leave half of the Ran Yi Blood Demon for us as a reward for our hard work, and we accept it. After all, you are the Young Palace Master of the Ziyou Palace! Now you insist on keeping our companions, which is a bit too extreme." Qin Ziling stepped forward and bowed.
"Huh!" Qi Rui couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and astonishment when he saw that Qin Ziling dared to speak at this time, and also saw that he was only an earthly immortal in the late stage of the Immortal Infant, as if he had discovered something new.
"So, you also want to stay and accompany them?" Qi Rui said.
“Since we have formed a group, no matter what our relationship was like before or what it will be like in the future, as long as we haven’t disbanded, we are still a team and we must advance and retreat together!
If you want to keep them here, you will force all of us into a desperate battle. There are eight of us. If we really fight desperately, you, Young Palace Master, will definitely have to pay a price. "Qin Ziling said.
"That's right, we advance and retreat together! If you really want to push us to the limit, the worst that can happen is a fight to the death!" Seeing Qin Ziling standing up, Wan Fei, Qu Jiao and Biteng all stood up.
Ji Xing and his wife quickly stepped back, and bowed to Qi Rui repeatedly, saying, "Young Palace Master, we have absolutely no intention of confronting you! Oh, by the way, that kid has a very powerful immortal weapon, which is considered very good among mid-grade immortal weapons."
"Oh!" Qi Rui's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that. The eyes of the four True Immortals behind him also lit up slightly, and their gazes were all focused on Qin Ziling.
Most of the immortals of the third rank or below can only own a mid-rank immortal weapon at best. Only those with a great background or good fortune can own a high-ranking immortal weapon.
Qi Rui and the four second-grade true immortals behind him were only using mid-grade immortal weapons, which were only average in quality.
Now that Ji Xing and his wife pointed out that Qin Ziling possessed a high-quality, mid-grade immortal weapon, the five of them were naturally tempted.
"No wonder you, a mere earth immortal in the late stage of infant immortal, can actually form a team with true immortals. It turns out you have a powerful magic weapon!" Qi Rui said.
"Ji Xing, Ji Wu, you two bastards, I have seen through you!" Wan Cheng was furious when he saw that Ji Xing and his wife had deliberately leaked Qin Ziling's information in order to save their lives.
Originally, everyone shared a common hatred of the enemy and showed a determination to fight to the death. Qi Rui might even be afraid and let them go.
Now, in order to save their lives, Ji Xing and his wife have not only cut off ties with them, but they have also deliberately revealed Qin Ziling's information. In this case, how could Qi Rui let them go?
"So what if you see through it? You should still think about how to escape this disaster!" Ji Xing replied with a look of disdain, and when he turned to Qi Rui, his face was already full of ingratiating smiles.
"Young Palace Master, do you think we can leave now?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? To be honest, you and your wife and I have some fate. We met unexpectedly a few years ago, and we met unexpectedly again this time. If I killed these six people this time and it really gets out, it will somewhat damage my reputation. Otherwise, you should just follow me!" Qi Rui said.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xing and his wife's expressions changed from gloomy to bright.
As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
Ji Xing and his wife are both first-class true immortals. When they join forces, they are nothing in a high-level blessed land, but in the Dongpu Mountain blessed land area, they are definitely considered big shots, coming and going freely and at ease. (Dongpu Mountain blessed land is adjacent to Pingyu Mountain blessed land.)
But things would be different once Ji Xing and his wife defected to Ziyou Palace. Not only would they lose their freedom, but the most important thing was that as True Immortals who joined from outside, they had no foundation in Ziyou Palace at all and could easily be used as cannon fodder!
Naturally, the two of them were extremely unwilling to do so.
"What, you don't want to?" Qi Rui's voice turned cold, and his fingers tapped the guardrail again.
"We are willing, of course we are willing!" Ji Xing and his wife were shocked when they heard this and said quickly.
"Haha!" Qi Rui raised his head and laughed triumphantly when he heard that.
When Qi Rui raised his head and laughed triumphantly, a cold and strange look flashed in the depths of Qin Ziling's eyes.
Almost at the same time, Ji Xing and his wife suddenly felt a powerful aura pressing down on them, and saw Qi Rui stepping out with an arrogant look on his face and appearing in front of them.
"Since you are willing to submit to me, the young palace master, why don't you pay me a visit?" Qi Rui said condescendingly.
"Ji Xing, Ji Wu pays respects to the young master... Not good!" Upon seeing this, Ji Xing and his wife hurriedly bowed to greet him, but before they really bent their waists, they suddenly felt a warning sign.
The illusion before their eyes burst like bubbles and disappeared without a trace, and what appeared before them was a pitch-black broadsword.
The big knife was within reach, and the cold and sharp blade light had already penetrated their skin.
Ji Xing and his wife were so frightened that their hearts and gallbladders almost flew out of their bodies. Without thinking, they used all their strength to activate the Immortal Infant in the Immortal Palace, ready to burst out all their immortal power, while screaming: "Young Master..."
However, just as the couple was about to activate their immortal infant, they felt a terrifying binding force wrapping around them. Before they could say the rest of the words, the Black Dragon Sword had already cut them in half.
The two were killed on the spot, and even the immortal baby had no chance to escape, and was taken into the cave world by Qin Ziling.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Qin Ziling just put the corpse into the storage ring.
The world was dead silent.
Qi Rui's laughter stopped abruptly, and he even forgot to knock on the guardrail with his fingers.
As for Qin Ziling, not to mention Jin Yu and others, even Biteng's eyes were wide open.
More than half a year ago, when Qin Ziling suppressed him, he concealed most of his strength. It seemed that he had made many calculations and took great pains to suppress him.
Therefore, Biteng always thought that Qin Ziling's strength was actually only slightly stronger than his, and the most amazing thing was that he also cultivated the soul.
As a result, Qin Ziling suddenly exploded and killed two True Immortals with one sword.
The ferocity and decisiveness of this attack, as well as its speed, were simply unbelievable.
"I didn't expect that you are a Taoist and a martial artist, and you're even an immortal! Ji Xing and his wife are quite old, but now that they've decided to join us, they're still foolish enough to stay so close to you. They deserve to die! By the way, that magic rope of yours is pretty good!" Qi Rui came to his senses soon, his eyes falling on the Immortal Binding Rope that was coiled around Qin Ziling's body like a spirit snake, and the Black Dragon Sword in Qin Ziling's hand.
Qin Ziling sneered secretly in his heart.
He used the Immortal Binding Rope to confuse Qi Rui and others so that they would not associate it with the path of the soul.
In fact, what really allowed him to kill Ji Xing and his wife with one sword was that he took advantage of the fact that they were reluctant to surrender, were uneasy, and were greatly influenced by Qi Rui, and transformed himself into Qi Rui to confuse them and distract them. In addition, the distance between the two sides was very close, which prevented Qin Ziling from unleashing his true fighting power, and he was able to kill the two with one sword.
During this period, the Immortal Binding Rope did not actually play a big role.
"Young Palace Master, I still say what I said just now, leave a way out for yourself so that we can meet again in the future. You have also seen that I practice both Taoism and martial arts, and if we really fight, you will also suffer. We all come out to make money, so why do we have to fight and kill?" Qin Ziling sneered in his heart, but spoke to Qi Rui calmly on his face.
He was really not sure if he could keep Qi Rui and the others.
But in this battle, if he doesn't take action, it's fine. But once he does, he must keep Qi Rui and others behind, and no one can escape.
"You do have some skills. With the combined strength of Taoism and martial arts, I'm afraid you can barely rival a second-grade True Immortal. Otherwise, no matter how careless the Ji Xing couple were, and no matter how close they were to you, you would not have been able to kill them so easily. But since have already surrendered to me, if you kill them, how can I keep my face if I let you go?" Qi Rui said.
"In that case, the Young Palace Master will definitely not let us go?" Qin Ziling said.
"What do you think?" Qi Rui asked back with a smile.
"Young Palace Master, why do you have to do this? I've already given in again and again!" Qin Ziling said helplessly.
"When you reach my position, you will understand!" Qi Rui said with a smile.
"In that case..." Qin Ziling paused for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "Run away separately!"
After saying that, he suddenly fled to a farther place in the turbulent abyss alone, while Biteng and the others immediately transformed into their true forms and rolled up the rolling water. Wancheng, Wanfei and Jinyu, the three Dragon Whale Immortals, fled in one direction, while Biteng and Qu Jiao went in another direction. However, like Qin Ziling, they all fled in the turbulent abyss.
Obviously they wanted to take advantage of the complex terrain and dangers of the turbulent abyss to escape.
"Want to escape?" Qi Rui smiled coldly.
Without any need for his orders, two second-grade True Immortals parted the sea and quickly chased after Qin Ziling.
The remaining two second-grade true immortals, one with twelve late-stage immortal infant earth immortals, and the other with six late-stage immortal infant earth immortals, divided into two directions and chased after Wan Cheng, Biteng and others.
Qi Rui still stood firmly on the chariot, with a sneer of sarcasm and disdain on his lips, and said to himself: "I thought you were decisive and powerful, but it turns out you are so stupid!"
Qin Ziling suddenly showed up just now, vowing to fight to the death. Qi Rui was actually a little hesitant.
After all, the seven first-rank true immortals have united as one, determined to fight to the death. If they must keep them, they will surely have to pay a heavy price.
As a result, Ji Xing and his wife turned against them at the critical moment, and Qi Rui had no more reason to hesitate.
But things suddenly changed. Qin Ziling suddenly attacked and killed Ji Xing and his wife, and showed his fighting power that could barely rival that of a second-grade True Immortal.
In this way, the two sides seem to have returned to the original balance of power.
Qin Ziling's camp is roughly equivalent to seven first-grade true immortals, and the strength of Qi Rui's side has not changed at all.
Qi Rui originally thought that once the battle started, Qin Ziling and the other six would definitely unite as one and charge forward.
In this case, if they want to keep them, they still have to pay some price, and there is even a high possibility that one or two people will escape.
As a result, what Qi Rui could not have expected was that they, who were already at a disadvantage, had to disperse their strength and escape on their own!
This naturally gave Qi Rui the opportunity to kill them one by one.
The twenty-four late-stage Immortal Infant Earth Immortals he brought with him this time were all elites with solid foundations and powerful immortal powers. They formed a team of six, and the team leader was a quasi-true immortal. A team together could trap a first-grade true immortal.
Now that they are fleeing separately, as long as the Second Rank True Immortal catches up with them and the guards behind them arrive and form a siege, they can be killed one by one!
Things seemed to be just as Qi Rui expected.
Before the two groups of people could escape far, they were caught up by the two True Immortals. Their domains and magic weapons fell down together and quickly held back the two groups of people.
Then, two teams of late-stage Immortal Infant Earth Immortals arrived and formed an encirclement, completely trapping Wan Cheng and the others.
But soon Qi Rui frowned.
Because Qin Ziling's speed was surprisingly fast, the two second-grade True Immortals were unable to catch up with him in a short time and soon disappeared from his sight.
Qi Rui released his immortal consciousness, but the power in the turbulent abyss was very chaotic, and the distance that the immortal consciousness could reach was not much different from the distance that could be seen by the eyes by gathering the immortal power.
Soon, Qi Rui could no longer sense the three people.
However, Qi Rui's brows soon relaxed.
He was not worried that Qin Ziling could escape the pursuit of the two True Immortals.
He also never doubted that Qin Ziling's strength would exceed that of a second-grade True Immortal.
Because the facts are there, seven people were injured when killing a Ran Yi Blood Demon.
If Qin Ziling really had the combat power beyond the second-grade True Immortal, how could the result be like that?
Besides, Qin Ziling's realm is there.
Each realm has its own unique aura. This is the mark left by the way of heaven. It is impossible to fake it without being several realms higher.
Therefore, it is possible for Qin Ziling to leap one level and rival a first-grade true immortal by relying on his late-stage immortal realm and powerful magic weapon.
In addition, he is proficient in both Taoism and martial arts, so he can barely fight against a second-grade True Immortal, which is also possible.
But if you say that his fighting power is truly comparable to or even exceeds that of a second-grade True Immortal, Qi Rui would never believe it even if you kill him!
So, even though he couldn't see it, Qi Rui would at most be a little disappointed, but he wouldn't be worried.
Qi Rui withdrew his gaze from the direction where Qin Ziling and the two guardians disappeared, and turned to watch the battle on the other two sides.
However, the Turbulent Abyss was already turbulent and the various forces were very chaotic. Now that the war had started, the Turbulent Abyss became even more chaotic, and Qi Rui could not see clearly.
Qi Rui had no choice but to order his men to move Ran Yi Blood Demon onto the chariot first, and then ordered nine one-horned dragons to pull the chariot towards the battlefield where Wan Cheng and others were.
The battle between the three-headed dragon whale immortal and the second-grade immortal and the twelve late-stage infant immortals is naturally more entertaining.
When Qi Rui was sitting in the chariot and approaching the battlefield where Wan Cheng and others were, somewhere in the turbulent abyss, two true immortals who were rapidly chasing Qin Ziling discovered that Qin Ziling suddenly slowed down, and there seemed to be some signs that his immortal power was running out.
"Haha! It must be that too much immortal power was consumed in hunting down the Ran Yi Blood Demon just now!" The two True Immortals couldn't help but be overjoyed upon seeing this, and suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Qin Ziling.
Just as the two True Immortals suddenly accelerated and were getting closer and closer to Qin Ziling, Qin Ziling suddenly turned around.
