Chapter 582: Four People Working Together
Xie Wuji had gotten overly excited while fighting and had unknowingly given it his all, accidentally infusing Battle Qi into Ling Chuxi’s Qi Ocean. With a start, he realized what he had done and was about to pull back his qi when he felt an extraordinary qi aura which unexpectedly held its own against his own Flame Battle Qi. Curious, he let his guard down, and ended up being trapped in an endless whirlpool, the Flame Battle Qi in his body easily getting sucked out of him. In a split second, one third of the Battle Qi in his body had been consumed.
It was the first time in his life that Xie Wuji had encountered such a thing! Still confused, he tried again and instantly, another third of his Battle Qi was consumed. He was so shocked that he forgot about his identity as a guardian. Only a living person was considered a guardian; if he died, he’d only be referred to as a dead man!
Xie Wuji removed the suppression and returned to his cultivation of the realm of True Essence. To his immense surprise, the moment his Qi of True Essence entered the whirlpool, it also disappeared, seemingly unable to withstand it.
“Brother Xie, what is going on? Why did you remove the suppression?” Mister Cao was stunned as he glanced at Ling Chuxi worriedly.
Although he had seen a few of Ling Chuxi’s top skills that were as smooth and natural as flowing water, her actual cultivation was still only at the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage. How was it possible for her to go up against the realm of True Essence?!
Mister Cao’s expression shifted. Instead of worrying about Ling Chuxi, he was now more worried about Xie Wuji.
Ling Chuxi watched the both of them pressing their palms against each other’s. Although her expression was slightly tense, she didn’t look too troubled. On the other hand, Xie Wuji who had returned to the realm of True Essence was drenched in sweat, looking like he was in danger.
“It is possible that he is tired after fighting. Age should be considered, after all,” Mo Kongyuan murmured as he stroked his beard, more or less guessing what was going on.
He had taken a harsh beating from the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian, so he knew how powerful it was. Xie Wuji had looked down on Ling Chuxi’s cultivation and talent, so it might be good for him to suffer a little.
A sinister smile curved Mo Kongyuan’s lips.
Lin Cangbo glared at Mo Kongyuan. Everyone knew that when cultivation reached a realm, a greater age equated to a more solid cultivation; however, this man had the nerve to imply that Xie Wuji was at a loss because of his age!
“Something seems a little off. Let me go take a look.” Mister Cao was an honest person, and the more he observed, the more he felt that things were not going well. He went up and put a palm over them, injecting a surge of Battle Qi.
Mister Cao’s body started to shake and his Battle Qi was also sucked into the whirlpool, instantly consumed by half. Shocked, Mister Cao quickly used his cultivation of True Essence.
Ling Chuxi immediately felt the suppression greatly increase, but the cold and gloomy qi in her Qi Ocean also became more turbulent.
Mister Cao’s body lightened and his Qi of True Essence got caught once again in the whirlpool, out of his control. He broke out in a cold sweat, breathing heavily.
“Brother Cao, what’s wrong?” Lin Cangbo and Mister Wu were both shocked.
Xie Wuji and Mister Cao had both displayed cultivation of the realm of True Essence, yet even with their joint power, they were struggling.
What was going on?
The both of them exchanged glances and stepped forward at the same time.
Right away, they looked horrified and baffled, sweat drenching their faces.
At that moment, there were groundbreaking changes happening in Ling Chuxi’s meridians and Qi Ocean. In the gap of the seal, the cold and gloomy qi filled with a destructive aura like a rushing tide. One part was being resolved by the four guardians’ energy of True Essence, another part was being integrated into the Thundercloud Battle Qi. Battle Qi was accumulating non-stop, filling all her meridians and Qi Ocean, about to reach its peak.
