Volume 2 That World Chapter 66: Crisis in the Sky
The airship flew steadily, and the atmosphere in the cabin became more and more relaxed.
"Qi Ji, if you have the chance in the future, please come to our northern border to experience it. It is definitely completely different from the customs in your central region. I will receive you then!"
It seemed that Wang Zhige had decided to stay with Qi Ji and not leave. He ignored the disciples in Longchang and just chatted and boasted with everyone in Jiange.
"What kind of place is the North?" Qi Ji asked curiously. He didn't know why, but when he heard the word "North", the north of Daxia on Earth emerged in his mind unconsciously, and a picture of snow flying all over the sky naturally emerged.
After Wang Zhige got to know a few people, his elegant demeanor faded. He said with a smile, "The Northland is the northernmost part of the East China Continent. Every winter and early spring, there will be huge snowstorms and the temperature will drop rapidly. If you travel there during that season, you will see a completely different view from the inland. The sky and the earth are vast and covered in silver, which is very shocking."
He then added: "Our Wang family has settled in that area. Of course, the settlement will not be in the coldest Eternal Snowfield, but a location closer to the inland."
Qin Zijin smiled and added to Qi Ji: "The Eternal Snowfield is a remote place outside the northernmost . It is precisely because of the perennially frozen remote place that the foreign demons to the north of the continent cannot cross the snowfield to invade on a large scale. However, the foreign demons have never given up the attempt to attack the north..."
She said seriously, "The Eternal Snowfield can be bypassed. The foreign demons have been trying to bypass that restricted area and attack the East China Continent for many years. The Northern Royal Family has always been responsible for guarding the northern defense line. Without them, there would be no prosperity and stability in the interior of the East China Continent."
Qi Ji nodded slightly. It seemed that under the threat of foreign demons, although there were frictions between the major forces, they were all committed to fighting against the foreign demons and jointly safeguarding the rare peace on the human continent.
Wang Zhige sighed, "What Qin Xingxing said is right. Our Wang family has indeed been committed to killing the foreign demons invading from the north. However, the number of foreign demons invading from that side has increased in the past two years. My father now stays in the north almost all year round, and now he feels that he is not up to the task."
Su Jingqiu also interjected: "Didn't I hear that your master, Mr. Yangming, was also entrusted to guard the northern border? He is the current top master on the continent and holds the position of demigod. He should be able to keep the northern border safe."
Wang Zhige smiled bitterly: "If Mr. Yangming can always guard the north, then there will be no danger forever, but our Donghua Continent is not the only place where foreign demons covet our northern borders."
"In addition to the vast ocean to the south, the continuous invasion of foreign demons in the western and eastern directions has never stopped. With the increasing pressure, Mr. Yangming also needs to run around to provide support."
Qin Zijin couldn't help but sigh: "Indeed, I don't know when humans will be able to counterattack the continent that was conquered by the foreign demons. Now I can't see any hope at all."
Qi Ji, like Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren, lacked understanding of the situation in the outside world, so he did not pretend to know everything and rashly join in the conversation. Instead, he listened to their introduction to this world while slowly practicing the meridian nourishing method to restore his physical and mental strength.
In the outer realm, his body had an extremely fast recovery ability due to the bonus of over 200 transcendence levels. Now combined with the nourishing ability of the meridian nourishing method, it is estimated that it will take less than half an hour for his body to recover to its peak state.
…
About an hour later, dining carts were pushed out from the logistics department at the rear of the cabin and began distributing food to each seat.
Qi Ji slowly opened his eyes, and several people looked over immediately.
Qin Zijin asked worriedly, "Qi Ji, are you feeling better?"
Qi Ji recalled that just now, while listening to these people chatting, he felt physically and mentally relaxed. He couldn't help but start to practice the meditation technique in the meridian nourishing method to restore his spirit without distraction. After that, he didn't pay attention to what they were saying.
It seems that he was seen meditating with his eyes closed by several people, and they thought he fell asleep because he couldn't hold on.
Qi Ji's performance today was indeed amazing. He killed more than 20 people in a row with his own strength. No one would think that Qi Ji's state was without cost.
On the contrary, his weak performance made several geniuses like Wang Zhige feel a little relieved.
At least , this proved that Qi Ji was "still a human being" and had not left them far behind.
This time, the demon-conquering did not burn out all his energy, so after more than an hour of meditation , Qi Ji felt that the pain between his eyebrows was not as excruciating as last time.
So he nodded gently and smiled at Qin Zijin, "I was too sleepy just now, so I took a nap. How long has it been? Where are we now?"
Qin Zijin looked at his face and felt that it was still a little pale. He couldn't help but said, "It's been more than an hour. I guess we'll be at Jiange soon. How about you rest for a while?"
Qi Ji smiled and did not refute Qin Zijin's words. He glanced around and saw that the food carts had already started distributing food to the booths, so he smiled at Qin Zijin and said, "I smell the meat and I'm hungry."
Qin Zijin immediately expressed his understanding and raised his hand to signal the dining cart.
After a while, a middle-aged male waiter in decent clothes came to Qi Ji's table with a dining cart and asked with a smile, "Qin Xingxing, do you want to start eating right away?"
Qin Zijin nodded and asked with a smile: "What dishes are there?"
The waiter smiled and said, "The menu prepared today is quite good. There are barbecued herbivorous dragons and mammoths, as well as a lot of wine mixed with precious fruits. It is very beneficial for improving physical fitness and conditioning the body."
"Isn't there any special animal meat? For example, meat of blue bear, thief dragon or other such meat that has better nourishing effect?" Qin Zijin asked after thinking for a moment.
The waiter shook his head and smiled, "Recently, the number of tourists in Jiandu has increased sharply due to the martial arts competition. The restaurants in the city are very eager to purchase the meat of such giant beasts. It is difficult for us to get it at a reasonable price at the airport. I'm sorry."
Qin Zijin immediately replied, "Then serve a few portions of the things you just mentioned. One portion of barbecue for each person, and double the portion for this gentleman."
After saying that, she pointed at Qi Ji and expressed her intention to give him special care.
"Okay, no problem." The waiter smiled and nodded, "The food in my dining car is not enough. I will go and notify the kitchen to prepare the food. Please wait for a moment, Qin Xingxing."
Qin Zijin nodded, signaling to speed up, and then they began chatting again.
Bai Tianhe had been simulating the duel in his mind and had not said much. Now he suddenly asked, "Qin Zijin, given the situation, can we still hold the next few matches of the martial arts competition?"
Qin Zijin tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "It's hard to say. It probably depends on the opinions of the leaders of the major forces. But I think it's possible that it will be completed. Although it was interrupted by the mirage attack this time, there has never been a saying that a martial arts competition can't be concluded."
Su Jingqiu also nodded gently: "I think it is very likely that after the major leaders have communicated clearly, they can continue directly in our Sword Pavilion."
Qi Ji thought about it, glanced at Wang Zhige, and said, "If we continue, what about the match between Wang Zhige and the Qun Ying team?"
His meaning was very clear. According to the result of today's game, Wang Zhige lost, but there were two traitors in the Qun Ying team. They were chopped vertically and horizontally by him, which added up to four sections. So who should advance?
Several people thought about it together, and it was Qin Zijin who laughed first: "Why think so much? The ones who should be worried are the commanders. What does it have to do with us? We don't even know whether we will compete or not!"
As they were talking, under the guidance of the middle-aged man, two dining carts were pushed over from the back kitchen by the waiters. On the carts were several plates of steaming large pieces of meat, the smell of which made people salivate.
"Excuse me for keeping you waiting. Now we will serve the food to the passengers." The middle-aged man waved his hand, and two waiters each picked up a plate and began to serve the food on the table.
When the dishes were placed on Wang Zhige's side.
Buzz!!!
Qi Ji's sixth sense suddenly gave a strong warning, and this time the warning was stronger than any previous time.
He didn't care that his body and mind had not recovered yet, and at this moment he forced himself to start subduing the demon again!
Boom! A flash of light exploded between his brows, instantly subduing his emotions and body.
The next moment, the waiter who was serving the dishes suddenly pulled out a short blade from his sleeve and stabbed it into Wang Zhige's chest at a very short distance.
Fast, accurate and ruthless!
Relying on the power of the demon-subduing state, Qi Ji pushed Wang Zhige's shoulder quickly and hard in a hurry, pushing him half a foot away from his limit.
It was this half foot that saved his life!
The short blade pierced into Wang Zhige's shoulder in an instant. If Qi Ji had not acted extremely quickly, Wang Zhige would have died at this moment.
The next moment, before anyone, including Wang Zhige who was attacked, could react, Qi Ji suddenly stood up from his seat, quickly grabbed his sheathed sword with his left hand, and grasped the hilt with his right hand.
Draw the sword! Chop the sword!
The unsheathed sword turned into a flash of lightning and in the blink of an eye it slashed in front of the assassin disguised as a waiter!
Time seemed to slow down.
The assassin maintained a ferocious smile on his face, and then the smile paused for a short while, his pupils trembled slightly, and then his eyes turned to the direction of Qi Ji.
Then, facing Qi Ji's single sword that was like a god or devil wielding it, he was still able to take action!
He quickly pulled out the short blade that was stabbed in Wang Zhige's shoulder, and raised it accurately to block the path of Qi Ji's blade.
bite!
The metals collided rapidly, and Qi Ji's tremendous force erupted suddenly, instantly breaking the assassin's short blade in front of his astonished eyes.
The sword continued to move forward with unabated force, cutting towards the assassin's throat!
But the assassin managed to slow down the speed of Qi Ji's blade with his blocking just now. He fell backward and barely avoided Qi Ji's fatal blow.
Then, while falling, he suddenly supported himself with his backhand and rolled backwards three meters due to inertia. When he stood up straight, his right hand had already pulled out a dagger less than one meter long from behind his back!
The assassin was trying to kill someone, Qi Ji was saving him with his sword, the assassin dodged the sword and stepped back to stand still.
The whole process took less than a second, and the people present, including Wang Zhige who was attacked, didn’t even have time to react!
"Ah!" A second later, Wang Zhige groaned in pain as he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
Everyone turned around immediately when they heard this unusual cry of pain.
I just happened to see the assassin and Qi Ji confronting each other silently.
