Volume 5: Return to Donghua Chapter 6 The Mirage of Blood
Qi Ji's figure appeared again several meters away from the sword demon, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"What a mess, Sword Demon. You'd better answer my questions honestly."
The sword demon's frantic dance slowly stopped, and he turned to look at Qi Ji, and said in a hoarse voice: "What on earth did you do?"
"It's just a little trick." Qi Ji smiled slightly, "Next, I'll ask questions and you answer them."
The sword demon said nothing more.
Qi Ji didn't care. He asked calmly, "Since I'm leaving you here, your Mirage army should be nearby. Tell me, where is it?"
The sword demon glanced at Qi Ji and sneered: "Since you are so eager to die, it doesn't hurt to tell you that the Mirage Army is in the woods outside the west side of the town."
Qi Ji stroked his chin and thought: "So he really didn't leave. Then you lead the way."
"There's no need for me to stop you from seeking death. Okay, then follow me ..."
The sword demon took two steps calmly, agreed obediently, and then suddenly rushed out and slashed the air around him with a sword: "I found you!"
Qi Ji raised his sword to block, but was chopped back twenty meters by the sword demon's force of dozens of tons.
He landed gently and stood firm, looking at the sword demon rushing towards him again, with a half-smile on his face: "Haven't you seen it yet?"
The sword demon ignored Qi Ji's words and continued to swung his sword with all his strength. The slash that exceeded the speed of sound cut Qi Ji, who seemed unable to dodge, into two pieces, and a large amount of blood spurted out.
Strong smell of blood!
This time, it’s real!
This guy who uses unknown magic to create mystery is only capable of this much!
A ferocious smile appeared on the face of the sword demon beneath the mask.
The next second, he was horrified to find that Qi Ji, who was split in half, was still smiling and speaking with that half mouth.
"You should have seen it..."
He suddenly felt intense pain erupting all over his body at the same time, as if countless air currents had turned into sharp blades and were stirring in his body.
The world before my eyes shattered like glass.
Blood suddenly spurted out from the sword demon's body like a fountain!
Qi Ji appeared behind the sword demon at some point, chuckling with his back to the sword demon.
"You saw it too—the mirage of blood!"
Sword demon, die.
[Kill the Extraordinary (Level 4), gain Transcendence 500]
Qi Ji sighed softly, turned around and looked at the remaining dozen or so white masks.
The men in white masks seemed to have seen a ghost and they screamed and fled in all directions, but most of them fled to the west.
Qi Ji did not chase them fiercely, but just slowly followed these fleeing minions and soon followed them out of the town of Luoye Ji.
It was a dense but desolate forest.
At the edge of the desert, the midday sun is scorching.
…
Deep in the woods, the Ghost-Faced Gentleman who had appeared in the attack at the martial arts competition stood calmly.
He had long fiery red hair. Unlike the previous time when he attacked Jiandu, this time he was wearing tights and a ferocious ghost mask. His entire left arm was hidden in a brown cloak, and his right hand was lowered and tightly grasped a long sword. His whole body exuded bursts of purple air, and his aura seemed even more evil and terrifying than last time.
A dozen Mirage minions wearing white masks were kneeling in front of him, and were trembling as they reported to him the disastrous defeat in the encirclement and suppression of the "Jian Ge pursuers".
"You mean to say that the sword demon was defeated by the young swordsman who chased after him, and was killed as if he was playing with it?"
After listening to the reports from his minions, the Ghost-Faced Gentleman pondered for a while and asked a question in return.
The minions immediately nodded frantically with terrified expressions, as if they had just faced a real ghost.
"Then, if that person from Jiange is really so powerful, how did you manage to get here?" The Ghost-Faced Gentleman's voice was gentle, not like a warrior, but more like a scholar.
The white masks who escaped looked at each other, none of them could answer the question asked by the Ghost-Faced Gentleman.
Yes, how did they manage to escape?
"Let me tell you, because that swordsman wants to find my location through you." The Ghost-Faced Gentleman's voice was still gentle, but it contained an inexplicable meaning: "You have all become traitors who lead the enemy."
traitor?
When the white masks kneeling on the ground heard this term, they collectively shuddered and immediately began to cry out that they were wronged.
The next second, the half cloak covering the left arm of the Ghost-Faced Gentleman suddenly rose up, revealing the hideous black and purple left arm. The top of the left arm was not a palm, but a short metal blade wrapped with chains.
As he swung the short blade, it instantly turned into a flash of white light that swept across the necks of all the white-masked men in the audience.
More than ten heads fell to the ground at the same time.
Their cries stopped abruptly, and their headless bodies fell to the ground.
The Ghost-Faced Gentleman still spoke in a gentle tone: "As a traitor, it's a good thing that your leader is me. If it was that guy Butcher, your death would not be so easy."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked towards a high place in one direction: "After watching the joke there for a long time, this friend should come down now, right?"
Qi Ji stood quietly on the treetop, looking down at the Ghost-Faced Gentleman below, and said with a smile, "You were a master who attacked the martial arts competition before. I remember you."
"Oh? I wonder which elder of Jiange you are? How come you remember me, Ghost-faced Gentleman?" Ghost-faced Gentleman asked curiously, his red hair flying.
Qi Ji took a light step forward, and landed lightly from the top of the dead tree more than ten meters high to the ground, shaking his head: "I am a nobody, not an elder."
"Wait, your face--" The Ghost-Faced Gentleman took a closer look and felt that Qi Ji's face was very familiar.
He suddenly exclaimed: "You are the leader of the martial arts competition, right? The guy who made our attack fail, how could you grow to this level in just two months!?"
"Unbelievable, unbelievable! I shouldn't have targeted Wang Zhige at the time. I should have tried my best to kill you."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the Ghost-Faced Gentleman wearing a set of gorgeous illusory armor, which was much more exquisite and perfect than the one he used to attack the martial arts competition before!
A large amount of Qi between heaven and earth gathers here.
A strong foreign demonic aura also transformed into a terrifying purple aura rising from his body.
Qi Ji looked at this ghost-faced gentleman quietly, feeling the extent of the majestic extraordinary factors gathered by this guy, and actually had the idea that "this guy's aura is close to that of Yu Jiansheng."
Is it because of the disgusting demonic aura that continuously emanates from him?
The "technology" that the sword demon mentioned is that all the people in Mirage can integrate the power of the outside demons through some special method to greatly enhance their own strength?
Are there any side effects?
Soon, the ghost-faced gentleman in front of him gave Qi Ji the answer.
