Volume 2: Memories of Yonghui (Part 1) Chapter 19: A sudden turn of events

The Qiongqi had already been severely injured in the first round of attack by Mo Yi and the man in black, and now being controlled by Yao Ji, his vitality was even more seriously damaged. Naturally, his momentum weakened a bit. Who would have thought that this seemingly weak girl still had some sinister means in her bones.
But they didn't know that Yao Ji was forced to do it. Speaking of viciousness, the other two are probably the masters, especially the one in Lan Yi.
But even a dog will jump over the wall when it is cornered, let alone humans. Even the most kind-hearted people will fight to the death when their lives are at stake, and will show some courage that they do not have in normal times.
What's more, Yao Ji is actually very afraid of death. At least among the three people present, Yao Ji is the one who is most afraid of death.
How could a girl who had not yet traveled through the vast mountains and rivers, who had not yet known human love and who thought she still had a lot of things to do be willing to be buried in this deserted snowy field, where it was possible that even her body was not even complete?
When people are in desperate situations, there will always be changes, whether in their state of mind or their temperament.
And this Qiongqi was the unfortunate witness of the transformation of the innocent little girl. At this moment, it cunningly lowered its head and pretended to breathe, but its eyes moved very quickly, thinking about what to do...
Yao Ji was unwilling to give it so much time to deal with it. Although she pretended to be calm at this moment, she was extremely anxious in her heart.
The net that trapped Qiongqi is now a spent force and is nothing more than an embroidered pillow that looks good but is useless.
In order to create momentum to scare Qiongqi and make it think that she had more powerful means, Yao Ji exhausted her last remaining spiritual power and made a desperate attempt. Fortunately, the result was as she expected, the Qiongqi was finally frightened and dared not resist anymore, otherwise this net would not be able to restrain it at all.
Now, it is very strenuous for Yao Ji just to stand like this.
She really wanted to use some tricks to force Qiongqi to compromise as soon as possible, but she was willing but not strong enough.
She unconsciously took two steps back until her almost exhausted body gently rested against a solid and broad spine.
Even at this moment, when everyone was exhausted, that person still stood straight with pride, giving people a feeling of being as calm as the sea and as still as a mountain.
Without looking back, she knew who was behind her.
Mo Yi also felt the strangeness of Yao Ji's body as she approached him, and he was startled, thinking that this girl might be holding on again. So, his body just stiffened slightly, and he didn't dodge.
The uneasiness in Yao Ji's heart was strangely soothed by this quiet feeling in an instant. She suddenly remembered that she didn't need to be alone at this moment, at least the person behind her could be relied on.
As soon as his mind moved, a plan came to mind.
She took two more steps back until their backs were pressed tightly together, then she quietly reached her right hand over to him, her fingertips silently writing something on his back...
Without any warning, Mo Yi suddenly leaped out like lightning, and the emerald green long sword broke through the air with a bit of brutality, and actually stabbed into the left eye of the Qiongqi. Blood splattered immediately, and the Qiongqi screamed in pain.
Mo Yi was like a madman at this moment. He swung his long sword and went straight to the vital throat of the Qiongqi.
"I give up! I give up!" The Qiongqi roared in fear: "I'll let them retreat!" The young man's eyes flashed coldly when he heard this, and he stopped the movement in his hands with a slight hesitation, but the long knife was pointing directly at the throat of Qiongqi, only a few centimeters away.
At this moment, Qiongqi was really scared! If he had some tentative intentions towards the little girl before, now Qiongqi felt an unprecedented fear from the bottom of his heart! But looking at the violent and cruel swordsmanship of this young man, you can tell what kind of ruthless person he is who doesn't care about his life!
Qiongqi is a cunning creature with a good understanding of human nature. It has always believed that most humans are greedy and cowardly. No matter how strong a person looks, they should have their unknown weaknesses. So even though Yao Ji made it a little scared, it still has a glimmer of hope and wants to play some tricks.
However, the boy's sudden attack shattered its fantasy. It knew very well that there were very few exceptions in this world. There was a kind of person that it absolutely could not afford to offend, and that was the person who was desperate and didn't care about his life!
Although the young man in blue clothes was not very old, judging by his style and knife skills, he was vicious and decisive, without any hesitation! His first knife attack cut off his wings, and the second knife attack blinded one of his eyes. This was clearly the final warning. Qiongqi believed that if he succeeded in the third attack, he would probably cut his throat.
It stared at the emerald green sword in front of it with its only remaining left eye in fear, wondering if this young man really wanted to die with it!
For some reason, it always felt that once this person took action, there would be no mistakes or hesitation! If it had not known the situation just now, it would have become a dead soul under the knife of that young man.
To put it bluntly, this Qiongqi is a character who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. When he met a person like Mo Yi who was so ruthless, he knew in an instant that he could not afford to offend him, so he simply admitted defeat and surrendered.
He no longer dared to make the many plans in his mind, for fear that the boy would really go crazy and end his life with a knife.
It is obviously not worth it for Qiongqi to risk his own life just to eat a few people.
It whistled long and strangely for a few times, and the "Fu Xiao Bei Ting Ba" around it seemed to understand it and slowly dispersed to both sides, making way for it.
Yao Ji and Mo Yi exchanged glances calmly, thinking that this double act seemed to be well performed.
Just now, Yao Ji wrote the word "play" on Mo Yi's back. Mo Yi was so smart that he understood what she meant, and he measured the scale of his attack very accurately. He could not only hurt its vital points and reduce its threat again, but also destroy all of Qiongqi's defenses with his overwhelming momentum in an instant, forcing it to make the final concession.
If it were someone else, Yao Ji wouldn't dare to imagine whether the other party could complete her plan so cleanly and beautifully!
Sometimes tacit understanding is a very wonderful thing.
Some people find it difficult to communicate with each other even if they spend every day together.
Some people, however, can instantly understand each other's intentions even when they first meet.
It is obvious that Mo Yi and Yao Ji have the latter kind of indescribable tacit understanding.
Seeing that they had finally fought their way out, the three of them did not dare to stay for long. Yao Ji gave the man in black a meaningful look, and then her gaze quickly lingered on him and the respectful Qiongqi beside him. The man in black naturally understood what she meant. Even if they wanted to leave, they could not leave this "animal nature" behind, otherwise, as soon as they left, the monsters would chase them, and it would be a false alarm!
He suddenly jumped over and grabbed the horns of Qiongqi and lifted the huge beast up. His feet were flying and he shouted happily: "Let's go!"
Mo Yi on the side subconsciously turned his head to look at Yao Ji behind him. Yao Ji tried hard to force a smile, but couldn't help frowning her delicate brows. She felt a strong sense of exhaustion coming from her whole body. The legs hidden under the hem of her skirt were trembling slightly. Yao Ji's physical strength might have reached its limit at this time!
This subtle movement did not escape Mo Yi's sharp eyes. At this moment, a strange feeling of pity flashed through his heart. In fact, Mo Yi himself could not understand why this girl who liked to show off always made him want to help her involuntarily.
It was an unprecedented wonderful feeling. He always felt that he couldn't be so cruel as to abandon her. This feeling made Mo Yi inexplicably irritated, but he couldn't think too much about it at this moment.
Mo Yi subconsciously pursed his lips, and waved away those inappropriate thoughts in his mind. However, his body had already rushed to Yao Ji like a flying bird, and with a backhand, he easily picked up Yao Ji by the waist. Before Yao Ji could come back to her senses in surprise, the backs of the three people and the beast had quickly disappeared on the other side of the skyline...
No one dared to look back, so no one noticed that the group of monsters behind them disappeared into the snowy field as if out of thin air after they walked away...
The silent snowfield returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened... as if everything was just a dream.
