Chapter 1576 - 1471: Descending from the Sky
Refining Dragon Child’s expression changed several times, looking around for a moment, "Did he come with you all?"
"Yes! But he’s gone!" Lei Xiuzhu deliberately spoke loudly.
She hoped to stall for time with "Chu Xi".
"Strange. Where did that ugly guy go?" Refining Dragon Child fell into confusion.
Lei Xiuzhu felt somewhat settled; as long as Refining Dragon Child was pondering, she had a chance to catch her breath.
However, at this moment, Refining Dragon Child gave a wicked smile; "Wherever that ugly guy went is none of my business! Besides, he’s just a fool! Capturing you all means my mission is complete!"
With that, he once again reached out his hand, descending onto Lei Xiuzhu’s shoulder.
At that instant, Lei Xiuzhu’s heart died again, filled with utter despair, wanting to cry from hopelessness.
However, she did not give up resisting, but instead shouted with a determination to go all out and try: "Chu Xi! Where are you! Hurry and save me!"
This sentence contained her despair and hope.
This was of course just an offhand shout.
But, a strange thing happened.
A voice responded.
"Why are you calling me?"
At these words, Lei Xiuzhu was stunned, Refining Dragon Child was stunned, and even Niu San who was harassing Huang Cuicui was stunned.
"There’s someone else in the room?"
They instinctively looked up, just to see a head peeking out from the beam, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, who else could it be but Chu Xi?
"Chu Xi!" Lei Xiuzhu was suddenly overjoyed, it was the first time she felt this ugly man was so dazzling.
It was also the first time she pinned all her hopes on one person.
Even though she knew Chu Xi showing up likely wouldn’t change the situation.
But she still instinctively got excited.
Refining Dragon Child did not feel the same.
His face fell: "Ugly freak! So you were hiding here!"
In fact, the commotion at the banquet was almost entirely caused by Chu Xi.
If it weren’t for this ugly guy making a scene, perhaps these few idiots from the Huashan Sect would have eaten the food laced with knockout drugs.
Blame this ugly freak!
"I wasn’t hiding?" Qin Hao showed a puzzled expression, "I just thought your fight might take a while; I’m catching up on sleep here because I didn’t get enough rest."
"Catching up on sleep?"
Lei Xiuzhu, Refining Dragon Child, and Niu San were all confused.
We were performing a scene of life and death below, and you’re up there napping?
Damn!
This fool is simply hilarious!
"What, you don’t like me sleeping?"
Qin Hao looked at Refining Dragon Child, cluelessly asking.
"Of course you can!" Refining Dragon Child was very angry, but didn’t show it, wearing a kind and charming smile: "Do you want to come down and sleep?"
"Sure."
Qin Hao foolishly nodded, then jumped down from the beam. After landing, he had a look of slight confusion: "Hmm, why is my body void of Spiritual Qi..."
"Hehe, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it, you want to sleep anyway."
Refining Dragon Child said casually while raising the hand hidden behind his back, "Now, rest in eternal slumber for me!"
With that, his palm suddenly struck towards Qin Hao’s forehead.
With this blow, he used all his strength, anyone hit by it would be directly killed.
In that moment, Lei Xiuzhu’s mouth opened, her face full of terror.
Oh no, if Chu Xi died, what would Refining Dragon Child do to her?
She wanted to shout out, but how could her voice be faster than Refining Dragon Child’s decided killing intent?
She had just opened her mouth, but before she could make a sound, Refining Dragon Child’s palm had already landed on Qin Hao’s forehead.
At that moment, Lei Xiuzhu’s heart died again. She felt that if Chu Xi died, she would follow in misfortune, her life devoid of hope.
Instinctively, she closed her eyes, grief beyond despair!
Clang!
An exceedingly high-pitched sound rang out in the space.
Lei Xiuzhu found it very piercing, but because her heart had already died, she didn’t open her eyes.
The next moment, she heard Refining Dragon Child’s astonished voice, "How are you unharmed!"
Lei Xiuzhu opened her eyes, seeing Refining Dragon Child’s hand pressed on Qin Hao’s forehead.
The imagined scenario of Qin Hao’s forehead exploding didn’t happen.
Now, he was looking at Refining Dragon Child with eyes wide open, a smile on his face!
"Impossible!" At this, Lei Xiuzhu opened her mouth, utterly incredulous.
Earlier, she could clearly sense the power of that palm.
Under normal circumstances, even a stone would be smashed.
Yet Qin Hao didn’t have a single scratch?
Absolutely unbelievable!
While everyone was stunned, Qin Hao smiled and spoke: "A bit weak, can you hit harder?"
Hit harder...
Refining Dragon Child was dumbfounded; he hadn’t expected his all-out move to be just a tickle for Qin Hao.
"What kind of monster are you!"
Refining Dragon Child quickly snapped back, retreating several steps in shock, his face full of wariness.
"No! You had an Inner Strength surge just now! You’re using Horizontal Training!" he quickly found the reason.
"You have some insight." Qin Hao smiled lightly, "Didn’t you set up this Spirit Lock Array to bully these Cultivators?"
"Too bad, I’m like you, I also know Store Martial Arts."
Hearing this, Refining Dragon Child’s face turned to panic.
The reason he could move freely in the Spirit Lock Array was relying on having Inner Strength.
Now, Qin Hao also had Inner Strength just like him?
He felt like he was going to lose it!
On the other hand, Lei Xiuzhu felt her expression clear up upon hearing it.
She finally understood why Refining Dragon Child wasn’t restricted by the Spirit Array.
Turns out, this guy wasn’t using Spiritual Qi at all, but Inner Strength!
As a Cultivator, Lei Xiuzhu naturally looked down on the Martial Arts and Inner Strength of the Mortal World.
She just hadn’t expected the things she scorned to become so crucial at this moment.
"So what if you have Inner Strength? You think I fear you?" By this time, Refining Dragon Child had escaped from his surprise.
He looked full of resentment at Qin Hao: "This fool ruined my poison, and seeing you in front of me, this time, I’ll tear you limb from limb!"
Nearby, Niu San shoved Huang Cuicui to the ground and strode over: "Master, this guy seems to have some skill, I’ll help you deal with him!"
"Very well!" Refining Dragon Child nodded, feeling more at ease.
In the past, before joining the cultivation circle, he was a renowned Knight in the secular Jianghu.
His Martial Arts were profound, with few enemies in Jianghu.
He didn’t think that he and Niu San would lose to this ugly Chu Xi.
"Chu Xi... why is it Chu Xi..." On the ground, with her body aching, Huang Cuicui turned her head with difficulty to see the situation in the room, murmuring in a daze.
In the past, she had gone to great lengths to trouble and despise Chu Xi because of his ugliness.
Now, descending like a savior, the person who gave her a glimmer of hope was coincidentally Chu Xi.
Huang Cuicui’s heart was a jumble.
