Chapter 384 Hasn't it always been like this?
Xue Tong's extremely serious tone elicited a soft laugh from Xue Lan:
"found it."
Xue Lan's voice carried a slightly hoarse gentleness, making her sound more like an elder than ever before.
“Craftsmanship is not just talk; to truly understand it, we must enter the Wan Gong Fang workshop.”
The candlelight flickered, casting shifting shadows on Xue Lan's face and making his expression appear somewhat unpredictable.
"The final trial at Wan Gong Fang will surely be filled with the clash of swords and the shadows of death," Xue Lan sighed softly.
"Do you believe me?"
Xue Tong spoke without hesitation:
"Of course...everyone believes you."
Xue Lan nodded slowly, her eyes narrowing slightly:
"Yes, everyone believes in me."
"Then please continue to believe in this." Xue Lan tilted her head, her voice gentle yet firm, her tone somewhat like she was establishing some solemn contract.
"I have always firmly believed that Xue Lan will never make a mistake, will always be calm and collected, and will always be fearless."
Xue Tong nodded as if possessed.
The candle flames burning in front of the two suddenly exploded, the candle flames leaping like stars, and as they plummeted, they became the sparks that shot out from the tip of the woman's spear at Duanshui Pass.
Ji Jinjin's spear pierced the flesh of the demon opposite her, tearing through its tough outer skin to reveal the foul-smelling flesh inside.
The tall demon looked at the wound on his arm, his eyes filled with deep fear.
"You are now... you are now in the late Nascent Soul stage?"
Ji Jinjin pointed the tip of her spear at the demon in front of her, her crimson eyes revealing a sharp killing intent.
The demon, who was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, saw the killing intent in the woman's eyes.
That sharp, murderous intent, like the tip of a spear on a bowstring, seemed to be the tip of a spear pointing at her eye socket.
You could die if you're not careful.
Thinking of this, he took a small step back.
He only took a small step back, and the woman in front of him thrust her spear straight at him, along with terrifying crimson lightning.
Zhu He, who had been slaying demons behind Ji Jinjin, reacted the moment the woman made her move. With a slight turn of the hilt of his Xinghe Sword, a terrifying sword aura suddenly swept out from the young man, shredding all the demonic beasts within dozens of meters into pieces and throwing them away.
The protective sword energy completely enveloped the young man.
After the surrounding transparent sword energy surged, Zhu He saw a thunderbolt descending from the sky.
The crimson lightning was dazzling, like dragons descending from the heavens, directly coiling around the demon's body.
The tip of the Xuan Sha Spear pierced the demon's throat, pinning him to the ground. Dark, ferocious demonic energy emanated from the spear tip, coalescing into a giant hand that crushed the demon's head.
Zhu He looked away slightly.
Ji Jinjin was really ruthless. The low-level magical beasts that were still charging forward all retreated and were pushed back in less than a quarter of an hour.
Even the most intellectually challenged person knows to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
Xu Qizhou, who was fighting the enemy ahead, came over and looked at the demon still struggling under Ji Jinjin's spear. He took out a tuft of white hair from his sleeve and gently placed it on the struggling demon.
"This was given to me by a senior member of the fox clan; it can be used to track the whereabouts of demonic souls."
On the battlefield littered with corpses, the three watched as the demon beneath Ji Jinjin's feet slowly lost its life force, and then suddenly burst into flames.
"here we go!"
Xu Qizhou drew a very complex rune in mid-air and whispered:
"To survey the heavens and inquire about the spirits, to awaken the lineage and clarify the origins, to seek!"
Beside the altar in the desolate region, another bead formed from a demonic soul appeared in the old man's hand.
The old man paused slightly as he placed the beads into the altar. A strange smile appeared on his lips.
"Ignorant brat!"
The old man raised his other hand and drew a black cross in mid-air.
"break!"
A faint word, "broken," traveled across most of the desolate region and reached Xu Qizhou's ears.
They all heard that hoarse, contemptuous voice, and the white fox fur that had been placed on the demon's corpse was instantly burned to ashes.
Ji Jinjin frowned, her tone heavy:
"This matter can only be addressed by having that senior member of the fox clan come and see for himself."
Xu Qizhou shook his head slightly:
"That senior is a genuine ninth-realm great demon, with strength approaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage. If she makes a move, the demon race will not be at peace either."
The young man flicked his sleeves, exuding the imposing presence of a senior disciple:
"Gentlemen, the Wan Gong Workshop trial has not yet begun."
Everyone had also thought of this approach.
The Wan Gong Fang trial has not yet begun. Before that, the human and demon races and the demon race cannot have too much conflict.
To prevent the demons from taking advantage of the situation and causing irreparable consequences.
Xu Qizhou had a resolute look in his eyes. The young man looked at Ji Jinjin and spoke:
"Junior Sister Ji, Junior Sister Xue is not here right now. I have something to discuss with you."
Ji Jinjin nodded without hesitation: "What does Senior Brother say?"
Xu Qizhou looked at Ji Jinjin and then at Zhu He.
"I hope that I will be in charge of all military affairs at Duanshui Pass until we safely pass the Wan Gong Fang trial."
The air was deathly silent, and the towering peaks stood solemnly like a pot of thick porridge that wouldn't dissolve.
Ji Jinjin asked in confusion:
"Senior brother, is this something we need to discuss?"
Xu Qizhou, who thought Ji Jinjin would refuse, suddenly widened his eyes:
"what?"
Ji Jinjin looked at the young man in front of her:
"Haven't we been doing this for so many years? You tell me where I can fight, and I'll go fight there!" Ji Jinjin said calmly, with a hint of doubt in her voice.
Xu Qizhou's sweaty palms relaxed instantly, and he felt a sense of relief.
Yes, hasn't it always been like this since the start of the war?
Junior Sister Ji is suited for aggressive attacks, while I am responsible for overseeing the overall situation.
The young man chuckled, a relieved smile on his face.
Ji Jinjin was startled when she saw Xu Qizhou suddenly laugh:
"Senior brother, are you crazy?"
How is this possible!!!
This is the next generation of the Xuanhuang Sect's master of balance, and the proud disciple of the sect leader!
If he goes mad here, the position of sect leader will fall to his senior sister...
Ji Jinjin's mind conjured up Xue Lan's sinister face.
The senior sister will strangle her!
"Senior Brother Xu, do you want to take a rest?" Zhu He looked at Xu Qizhou with some concern.
Did his solo perseverance at Duanshui Pass for over a month finally drive his senior brother, who likes to take charge of everything and is extremely cautious in his work, crazy?
Zhu He: Oh, my senior brother, may you live a long and healthy life, ten thousand years!
Xu Qizhou finally understood what had been weighing on his mind all this time, and slowly stopped laughing.
Then he saw Ji Jinjin and Zhu He looking very flustered in front of him.
The young man stopped laughing, and Ji Jinjin and Zhu He suddenly had nowhere to put their hands.
Xu Qizhou cleared his throat: "I'm fine."
The two breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this was the most normal version of Xu Qizhou.
Xu Qizhou suddenly felt like teasing the two of them, and the young man slowly spoke:
"If you two don't behave, I'll kill myself right here at Duanshui Pass and see if Xue Lan will beat you up!"
The two who have nowhere to let go: Ah!?
