Chapter 9: Chapter 109: Uncanny (Bonus Chapter)

The ice-blue phoenix feathers were like water, radiating a chilling light, as clear and bright as snow. As they danced in mid-air, it seemed as though a flurry of snowflakes were swirling around her.

As the Ice Phoenix soared into the clouds, a piercing phoenix cry erupted!

Her phoenix eyes were a clear blue, brimming with grace and charm.

Qin Hanxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She circulated her energy with both hands, and pale blue True Qi surged—Illusion-grade True Qi!!!

Feng Qianqing and Chen Qimo watched this scene together. The latter mobilized his fiery red True Qi, letting out a loud roar! The Fire寇 (Fire寇/Fire Fiend) immediately tore through the torrential rain, its flames bright and dazzling, lunging toward Qin Hanxue!

Feng Qianqing gathered dark purple True Qi. Amidst the churning undercurrents, black mist swirled around Andan, brimming with malevolence!

The frozen landscape before Qin Hanxue suddenly flipped, rising to block her. A massive vortex carried a bone-chilling wind—a confrontation between fire and ice!

The Ice Phoenix shrieked, intertwining with the dark purple flood dragon as they attacked the fire dragon together!

Qin Tianao watched it all, utterly shocked! So breathtaking! So soul-stirring! Looking at Qin Hanxue's figure, he murmured, "Yu'er..." Seeing Qin Hanxue stealing the spotlight like this, Qin Xiyu felt even more unwilling! She actually suppressed the pain of her injured internal organs and mobilized an orange stream of Qi—

Qin Hanxue was naturally on guard. Her gaze darkened, and with a flick of her wrist, she reflected the orange stream of Qi back!

She helped the Qin family, only to be ambushed in return? Heh, how utterly ironic!

With a cold sneer in her heart, the ice beauty under the night sky curled her lips into a smile, beautiful beyond compare...

Chen Qimo had already lost consciousness, continuously launching attacks at Qin Hanxue!

The flames soared into the sky, and the violent commotion echoed through the clouds!

Qing Han and Luo Jiu suddenly rushed in from the doorway. "Master!!"

Watching the scene before her, Qing Han understood most of it. It seemed the Young Mistress had broken through her seal and used Illusion-grade True Qi to manifest an Ice Phoenix!

A streak of blood-red fire caught her off guard, charging straight for Qin Hanxue's heart! It pierced right through the girl amidst the ice! Qin Hanxue stared at Chen Qimo in disbelief, her eyes filled with indescribable emotions...

"Master! Stop!" Luo Jiu shouted. The secret guards helped the Qin family members up, settling in place to circulate their energy and heal their injuries.

Chen Qimo seemed to be brought back to his senses by the woman's gaze, his head throbbing with agonizing pain! His eyes were filled with helplessness, worry, fear, and guilt... but in just a moment, they reverted to those bloodthirsty eyes!

*Xue'er... I really, really cannot control myself!...*

The Ice Phoenix lost the condensation of its True Qi and immediately lost its form! It gradually became transparent, turning into snowflakes that scattered into the air...

Qin Hanxue's internal organs had been damaged multiple times, and she fell directly from the sky!

Feng Qianqing felt an indescribable ache in his heart and flew rapidly toward Qin Hanxue. Meanwhile, Chen Qimo's offensive had not stopped; he struck out a palm toward Feng Qianqing!

Feng Qianqing had no heart to fight back and took the blow head-on! Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but he used one hand to wrap around Qin Hanxue's slender waist.

As beautiful as a painting, the two of them slowly descended together...

Andan suddenly appeared from Feng Qianqing's hand, propping himself up with one hand while tightly holding the person in his arms with the other...

Chen Qimo rapidly drove the Fire寇, charging straight toward the two of them! The flames were right in front of them; at the critical moment!!—

Tianwen charged from a distance toward the tip of the Fire寇's blade, and a white light flashed! The Immortal Sword descended!

The man in white, his robes fluttering, had a face like a banished immortal tinged with slight anger. He glanced at the heavily injured girl, "...Xue Xue..."

He then soared into the air. The Immortal Sword faced the evil sword, a silver dragon coiled around Tianwen as it surged into the clouds! It stared down the fire dragon!

"Chen Qimo! Do you even know what you are doing?!" the man in white roared. As if remembering something, he took out the Yunlan Jade from his neck, and Tianwen spun incessantly before him—

The jade stone shimmered with spiritual light, and a pure white radiance swirled toward Chen Qimo...

The fire in Chen Qimo's eyes gradually died down. His pupils became exceptionally bright, and his body plummeted. He used the Fire寇 to brace himself against the ground, lowering his head to spit out a mouthful of blood. The light of the Fire寇 was also gradually fading, flickering on and off...

Looking at the woman who had fainted in someone else's arms, her pale face and the striking, glamorous bloodstains served as a reminder: she was injured by him, injured by him, Chen Qimo! This woman, whom he had repeatedly claimed he would protect, had been wounded by his own hands!

His head felt as if it were about to explode! The sensation of burning surged through his body once again! Seeing that the bloodthirsty scene was about to ignite again, Chen Qimo suddenly grabbed Feng Qianqing, struggling to suppress the uncontrollable pain brought by the Fire寇, "...Save her, take her to the Medicine Valley!..."

Feng Qianqing looked at the man before him. He had never imagined that Chen Qimo would bow to him. Now that he was bowing before him, he didn't feel happy... perhaps, because of this woman?

Feng Qianqing said nothing. A slight ripple appeared in his eyes, but he quickly looked away, his expression turning fierce, "Why should I help you?"

Anger was about to surge in Chen Qimo, but seeing the woman's pained expression... "I beg you."

Feng Qianqing froze. He could not understand why, even though he couldn't feel a shred of happiness in his heart, he could clearly feel the taste of heartache... He nodded slightly.

Chen Qimo suppressed the restless, surging Fire寇; that bloodthirsty slaughter felt like an approaching storm, and the burning sensation felt as if it were searing his very flesh! The man in white looked at Chen Qimo, who was sinking into agony, and murmured, "...You have given so much for her, yet fate plays tricks on you, making you hurt her..."

The spiritual light of the jade flashed again, countering the evil nature of Chen Qimo's Fire寇, causing him immense pain! Yet his eyes never left Qin Hanxue, filled with guilt, regret, worry, and fear... a complex tangle of emotions...

Finally, he collapsed in the rain...

"Chen Qimo, I will now dispel the evil nature for you."
