Chapter 094: The Tiger Travels West
"If it doesn't resist, then it should be fine," Xie Yao said after thinking for a moment.
"Alright, let's try to communicate with it. The young master said he is a Heavenly Artifact, so it must have some spiritual connection. Why don't we give it a shot?" Li Qi suggested.
Xie Yao nodded and walked over to the Yan Huang Blood Sword, gently saying, "Your master is lost. Can we go find him?" The Yan Huang Blood Sword trembled slightly, emitting a soft sword hum, then floated up, circling in the sky before flying off in a certain direction.
"Quickly follow it, or we won't find the young master," Li Qi said. "You all go ahead; Zhao Yu, Brother Zhang Tian, Brother Zhan Tao, you stay here."
"Okay, we'll catch up quickly. I'll leave markers along the way," Xie Yao said. After that, several people immediately followed the Yan Huang Blood Sword.
Li Qi was silent for a moment before saying, "Brother Zhang Tian, make a cut on each hand. If you're not afraid, leave two cuts on your legs as well." After saying this, he drew his long sword and made a cut on his right hand and on each leg, blood immediately flowing out.
"Brother Li Qi, what are you doing?" Zhan Tao asked.
"Leading the tiger away?" Zhao Yu inquired.
"Exactly. Zhang Tian, are you afraid of dying? Or are you just too scared to do it?" Li Qi teased.
"If you can do it, why can't I? I’m not afraid of anything!" After saying this, he made cuts on all four limbs without flinching.
"Hehe, alright, let's go. Move slowly so that Shi Heng doesn't notice anything," Li Qi said.
"Okay, Zhan Tao, let's support each other," Zhao Yu said.
"Sure," they replied. The four of them supported each other and 'slowly' walked along the markers left by Xie Yao. Three minutes later, Shi Heng hurried back from outside. After fighting with Lin Tingting, neither side gained any advantage; it was merely to vent some frustration. However, as the fight progressed, Shi Heng began to feel an increasing sense of unease and decided to leave the battle and rush back to his camp. What he saw upon entering was a ground covered in scattered flesh with not a drop of blood left behind—not even a trace of blood remained. Shi Heng shivered; there were thousands of people here. Had his original ten thousand troops all perished?
"Wait a minute, where are Wang Wen and Wang Xiao? Those two at least are Dou Jun; they shouldn't have fallen so quickly," Shi Heng wondered aloud as he headed towards the back of the camp where Wang Wen and Wang Xiao were located.
"No one? There are only two pools of blood on the ground and no signs of a struggle. Could it be that they met with misfortune?" Shi Heng exclaimed in surprise. Wang Wen and Wang Xiao were the second-tier thousand-household leaders whose bodies Li Qi had taken away. After searching thoroughly without finding any clues, he exited the military camp and headed towards the site where thousands had fallen.
"Brothers, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." While saying this, he used his flame fighting spirit to burn the countless pieces of flesh to ashes. Shi Heng sat down dejectedly on the ground, completely unaware of what else he could do. He inadvertently discovered the blood that Li Qi and the others had intentionally left behind.
"I told you, no matter how powerful you are, someone will still get hurt. Hmph, I'll just follow the blood and see who you really are! How dare you commit murder and dismemberment!" Shi Heng said resentfully as he moved in the direction of the dripping blood. To say murder and dismemberment was truly unfair to Yang Chen; it should be said that the sword cut the body before it became a corpse. As for the pieces of flesh, that was something to ask those who searched for bodies.
"There were four people, two of whom were injured, and there are some scattered footprints ahead; there should be thirteen people in total," Shi Heng analyzed. "The injured ones are two fighters at the King level; it seems their leader is quite strong." Shi Heng wiped some blood from the ground and said, "In any case, a Dou Sheng strongman would not interfere in trivial matters of the town. As for Dou Zun warriors, if they can't win, escaping shouldn't be a problem." After saying this, he continued to follow the blood left by Li Qi.
"Be careful; if I'm not mistaken, Shi Heng is already following us from behind. But he won't show himself easily, so let's move quickly," Li Qi analyzed.
"Alright, this trap was set by you; we'll follow your lead," Zhao Yu said. The other two nodded in agreement.
"Good, then let's quicken our pace," Li Qi said.
Three minutes later, when Shi Heng caught up with Li Qi and the others, Li Qi had also arrived at the small creek where Yang Chen was located and reunited with the main group. Just as Shi Heng was about to make a move to capture Li Qi, he suddenly stopped and hid somewhere in Sky, quietly observing.
"Ha!" Li Qi let out a sigh of relief and said, "We were just a little bit away. If we had been even a minute slower, we would have been dead."
"Hehe, surviving great calamities brings good fortune. It's nothing," Zhang Tian said carelessly.
"What do we do now?" Zhao Yu asked.
"We wait for Young Master to wake up," Li Qi replied. Everyone also saw two strangers helping Yang Chen circulate his energy while the Yan Huang Blood Sword stood guard nearby.
"Li Qi brother, you all are here? What happened? Did you get hurt? Did you encounter enemies?" Xie Yao and her seven companions quickly gathered around and asked.
"It's nothing; we just had a spar with Zhang Tian while bored on the road, and this is how it turned out," Li Qi casually explained.
"Tch, do you think you're still kids? Sparring while injured?" Long Xin scolded. Everyone looked at her in confusion and then strangely at Li Qi, gradually understanding what was going on.
"Look, our big sister has taken an interest. Hehe, she's starting to care about others," Lei Dong remarked opportunistically.
"You don't need to say that; I noticed it long ago," Xiao Yuwei interjected calmly.
"Oh? When did you notice?" Hao Yue asked with a puzzled expression.
"Just now, you still don't know?" Xiao Yu said something that left everyone speechless.
"We all know." The others shouted in unison, except for Long Xin, Li Qi, and Xiao Yu, including Heavenly Gift.
"Uh, everyone, I was wrong..." Xiao Yu wisely escaped from this terrifying scene, and the others also left in a hurry. Only Zhang Tian, Thunderous Movement, and Hao Yue walked with mischievous smiles in the direction Xiao Yu had gone. As for what they were going to do, oh! That's not to be said!
"Are you okay? Do you need a bandage?" Long Xin asked with concern.
"That's not necessary. Look at Zhang Tian; he's bouncing around." Li Qi declined.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter." Long Xin angrily turned to leave, but just after taking two steps, "Ouch," came Li Qi's voice of discomfort.
"What happened? What happened?" Long Xin looked at Li Qi with worry and saw him lying on the ground with a pained expression. She hurried over to support him and asked.
"I see that I don't have a physique as strong as Zhang Tian's. Long Er, can you help me bandage it?" Li Qi tentatively asked.
"Hmph, I told you to get a bandage earlier, but you insisted on showing off. Seeing you in this much pain, I might as well help you; otherwise, you'll be in agony!" Long Xin said fiercely.
"Then thank you to my Long Er." Li Qi teased.
"Hmph, who is yours? Don't go around claiming relatives." Long Xin said disdainfully, but the faint happiness in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
