Chapter 093: Surprise Attack!!
"Ah? Are you listening? I thought you had already sunk into your consciousness," Huang Batian said in surprise.
"Thank you both, Seniors, for your assistance," Yang Chen said as he opened his eyes respectfully.
"It's nothing; this is also to help you become stronger more quickly," Madman replied.
"Yes. Seniors, please concentrate all the Blood Qi in my body to my heart," Yang Chen said.
"The heart? That's something we can consider. Originally, we planned to seal the Blood Qi in your limbs. We didn't expect that your limbs have already been reinforced and cannot accommodate any external energy. In this case, we have no choice but to focus on the heart," Madman analyzed.
"Then I will trouble you, Seniors," Yang Chen said.
"Do you think you can completely suppress the Blood Qi?" Madman countered.
"Aren't there the two Cold Jades you gifted me? With their ability to protect the mind, I believe I can fully control it!" Yang Chen said confidently.
"Alright, even if you can't completely suppress it, suppressing it by nine-tenths is still possible. The rest will depend on your own efforts. Moreover, this is also a test for you," Madman said meaningfully.
"I believe in myself!" Yang Chen declared.
"Good, then let's begin. Remember, let your consciousness sink like your soul into a state of false death; do not resist at all," Huang Batian reminded.
"Okay," Yang Chen nodded. After saying that, he sank his soul deep within and fell into a slumber with the Dragon Soul.
"Madman, the Blood Qi is filling his brain; if we want to gather it to the heart of his body, it will be somewhat troublesome," Huang Batian said.
"No matter how troublesome it is, we must do it! If the Blood Qi gathers in the heart, at least it can be suppressed. If it gathers in the head and becomes denser, eroding his soul, then even if we are both at our peak, we will be powerless," Madman explained.
"That's true; it's just a bit troublesome for now. Let's get started," Huang Batian said. Madman nodded and sat cross-legged, placing his hand on Yang Chen's chest while slowly closing his eyes. Huang Batian did not hesitate either and placed his hand on Yang Chen's back, also closing his eyes slowly.
In a nearby area, "Sister Yao, do you think Young Master will go there?" Long Xin asked.
"I don't know; Young Master really doesn't seem well. Moreover, even the longsword he carries has been left behind here," Xie Yao said with concern. Everyone looked towards the Blood-colored Longsword stuck in the ground; the blood that had originally gathered like a small stream was being drawn and absorbed one by one.
"We need to leave here as soon as possible, or we'll be in trouble when Shi Heng comes back," said Li Qi, who had just collected the official badges from the pile of corpses.
"Stay away from me; don't you find it disgusting?" Xiao Yu said disdainfully.
"If this makes you feel sick, well, you'll have a rough time ahead," Li Qi replied with a half-smile as he looked at Xiao Yu.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to make things difficult for me?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Since you all follow the young master, that makes you my brothers. I, Li Qi, would never trip up my own brothers; I'm talking about the young master," Li Qi explained.
"That's right, Brother Li Da is correct. If you still think of yourselves as noble young masters, you'll suffer sooner or later," Long Xin agreed.
"Brother Zhao Yu, Brother Zhang Tian, and Brother Zhan Tao, if you agree with me, then go take off their storage rings," Li Qi said calmly.
"Okay, let's go," the three said in unison before stepping away.
"I'll go too; you all handle it," Long Xin nodded. She knew that the six of them had not yet been accepted by the group and that to fully integrate into this collective, they needed to drop their airs of nobility. Therefore, as the eldest sister, she had to take the lead.
Sure enough, "If the eldest sister is going, then I can't lag behind. I'll go too," Lei Dong said.
"How could I miss out?" Hao Yue chimed in.
"If the eldest sister is going, can I not go? I'm not that precious," Aoxue and Mu Dance said simultaneously.
"Am I afraid?" Xiao Yu encouraged herself and then also stepped away.
Li Qi looked at Xie Yao and said, "Uh, I really don't know how to address you."
"Unexpectedly, I will become your Sister-in-law in the future; what do you think?" Xie Yao replied playfully.
"Then I'll just call you sister. Yao Jie, keep an eye on things here while I search the rear camp. No matter what there is, at least that battle flag can be exchanged for military merit," Li Qi said.
"Okay, I'll watch over it; you go ahead," Xie Yao nodded.
After Li Qi left, Xie Yao approached Li Dashen, squatted down, and removed his thousand-household badge and storage ring. Then she quietly watched as ten people struggled to hold back their nausea while searching through the pile of flesh for storage rings.
Meanwhile, Li Qi had walked about two hundred meters when he spotted the camp where the feudal lords' army was stationed. At a glance, it was empty, but Li Qi continued to proceed cautiously. He crept into the center of the camp and under the military flag but still found no one coming out.
"Indeed, there is no one." After that, Li Qi unhesitatingly stored the general's flag into his storage ring and retreated.
"No, I can't go back yet. I haven't delved deep enough, and the information is insufficient. Besides, returning like this isn't a good enough reason." Just as Li Qi was about to withdraw, he immediately changed direction and advanced deeper into the military camp.
"There’s a smell of blood." Li Qi became alert and slowly moved toward the source of the bloody scent. He stopped by a tent and listened quietly for a minute; there was no sound at all. Then, Li Qi gently lifted a corner of the tent and saw two officers in silver armor lying dead on the ground.
"Silver armor? Could these be two Dou Jun experts?" Li Qi wondered as he turned over the bodies to reveal their chest insignias. The purple-gold badges bore the words "Thousand House," with two silver threads embedded in them.
"Second-Class Thousand House Candidates?" Li Qi said in confusion. "These are two Dou Jun experts, and judging by their condition, they should both be Five-Star Dou Jun. There are no signs of a struggle around, and both were killed with a single blow. This means at least a Dou Zun expert helped us." Looking around, Li Qi concluded that he had guessed correctly.
"Never mind, let's get the bodies out of here first. We'll report it up later when we have the chance to earn military merit." Li Qi decisively stored the two bodies in his storage ring and quickly withdrew without continuing his search.
"Retreat. No need to worry about this place anymore. Master Heng will be back in five minutes." As soon as Li Qi returned, he heard Tian Ci say this.
"Tian Ci, how are the star omens?" Li Qi asked.
"Mixed fortunes; each has its Destiny," Tian Ci replied.
"How do you know? My Shadow Kill Yongbing team truly has many talented individuals; clearly not fate manipulators, yet they can predict fortunes and misfortunes," Tian Ci marveled.
"You flatter me, Brother Tian Ci," Li Qi responded. "Sister Yao, you are a Dou Huang expert; can you lift the Yan Huang Blood Sword out of thin air?"
