Chapter 725 - 160: Is He Wei Molili? (Second Update)
Xi Qianxue only felt as if her bones were shattering within her body, the pain unbearable. The opponent was too strong; she exerted all her strength, but was not a match.
At this moment, despair rose in her heart.
However, just as that despair surged, a figure in a vivid red that she used to dream of in the midnight hours suddenly entered her sight.
’Am I seeing things? Or am I dying, that I would see him at this moment?’ Xi Qianxue’s heart did not feel much excitement; instead, she became exceptionally calm.
"Hey, are we saving her?" Ji Yaohua looked at the two people beside them and asked, watching Xi Qianxue flying towards them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed, his body already shooting out, leaping into the air to catch Xi Qianxue’s falling form.
At this moment, a man with fierce eyes glared at them through his disheveled hair.
A low growl, resembling that of a fierce beast, rumbled from his throat, and his body turned, charging towards them.
"Damn it!" Ji Yaohua’s eyes widened, and together with Ying Ze, they leapt out, joining forces to fend off that "monster"!
Catching Xi Qianxue, and landing into a warm embrace, Xi Qianxue was pulled back from her hallucination, her eyes gazing stupidly at Mu Qingge. "So it wasn’t just my dream."
Mu Qingge didn’t pay attention to what she was saying. After catching her, he immediately retreated with her, avoiding the battle zone of the three people.
By now, Ji Yaohe and Ying Ze were already engaged in fierce combat with that "monster."
It was then that Mu Qingge noticed the "monster’s" spiritual power was pure gold in color!
’A Golden Realm Second Layer powerhouse!’ Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly, already making an assessment of the "monster’s" cultivation in his heart.
With his arm around Xi Qianxue’s waist, he led her away from the center of the battlefield, finding a relatively safe spot to support her down. Without a word, he took out a pill for healing, pushing it into Xi Qianxue’s mouth.
"Take it." Mu Qingge commanded.
Xi Qianxue did not resist, simply gazing at him, obediently swallowing the pill in her mouth.
As soon as the pill was taken, her cheeks flushed with an unusual red glow.
This made Mu Qingge frown slightly; swallowing that pill shouldn’t have caused such a blush as a reaction!
Only, this thought merely flashed in her mind. She first glanced at the battlefield, noticing Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze, though dealing with the "monster’s" steps, seemed to have no major issues for the moment.
Thus, she looked towards Xi Qianxue, lifting her wrist to place her fingers on her pulse.
Xi Qianxue sat quietly, not resisting her actions at all, her gentle, water-like eyes simply fixated on Mu Qingge’s almost androgynous face.
Listening to her pulse for a while, Mu Qingge furrowed her brows. She released Xi Qianxue’s hand, lifting her eyes to meet hers.
Suddenly, being looked at by Mu Qingge, Xi Qianxue’s eyes flickered with panic, hurriedly averting her gaze, her cheeks reddening further.
Xi Qianxue’s abnormality left Mu Qingge puzzled.
But she didn’t probe further, only saying to Xi Qianxue, "Your injuries are serious. Even with the elixir, you cannot use spiritual power for the next three days, or it will worsen your injuries."
"Okay." Xi Qianxue lowered her head, responding in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum.
Such a tiny voice made Mu Qingge directly doubt whether she heard what he was saying.
Meanwhile, the sounds of battle grew louder, the intensity seemingly increasing.
Mu Qingge’s eyes shifted to the site of the fight among the three, noticing that the "monster" seemed to be fighting with increasing vigor, apparently impervious to pain, while Ji Yaohua, relying on his Golden Realm cultivation, could barely cope. Ying Ze, on the other hand, after enduring for so long, was gradually being caught on his weaknesses by that "monster," subjected to furious assaults, leaving him only able to defend passively.
’That guy’s fighting skills are anything but simple!’ Mu Qingge concluded in his heart.
Her eyes turned towards Xi Qianxue, asking, "How did you end up here? And how did you entice such a formidable enemy?" The golden spiritual power had already ruled out the possibility of other realm intruders for Mu Qingge.
"I’m here for training," Xi Qianxue replied.
Another one with no fear of death!
Mu Qingge remarked inwardly with some helplessness. Ji Yaohua’s and Ying Ze’s cases aside, she had her reasons to be here. Yet Xi Qianxue, arguably the most esteemed woman in the whole Middle Ancient Realm, unexpectedly came here alone for training. Is she unhappy with how uneventful her previous life was?
Lacks excitement!
Of course, these sarcastic words were not spoken by Mu Qingge.
Her greater concern was how Xi Qianxue managed to get embroiled with such a powerful figure.
"I didn’t provoke him. He attacked when he saw me, and I had no choice but to respond," Xi Qianxue explained.
"He provoked you on his own?" Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow.
Xi Qianxue nodded, her mouth opening to continue speaking. But at that moment, a figure was sent flying back, forcing her to swallow her words.
Mu Qingge naturally saw the person who had been knocked flying back.
She stood up, extended her hand to stop Ying Ze, halting his momentum, preventing him from flying further away.
"Pfft!" Ying Ze stopped his retreating steps but spat out a mouthful of blood.
He didn’t speak. Instead, he took out a healing pill and swallowed it. Only after his breath was steady did he look at Mu Qingge and say, "Thank you."
Mu Qingge gently shook her head and turned her gaze towards Ji Yaohua, who was battling that ’monster’ alone.
Using speed, Ji Yaohua could still contend with that person.
Suddenly, Mu Qingge saw Ji Yaohua transform into a gust of wind, continuously circling around the ’monster’. The ’monster’ seemed to be restrained, standing in place, letting out beast-like roars.
Moments later, Ji Yaohua’s figure appeared again but retreated to Mu Qingge’s side.
The ’monster’, too, descended from the sky, landing on the ground, with a golden rope tightly binding its body, arms, and legs from top to bottom.
"Roar——!"
The ’monster’ struggled violently, wild eyes glaring at them with murderous intent, as if only slaughter existed within them.
"Damn, who the hell is this! So powerful, even I, the Young Master, am not a match!" Ji Yaohua cursed.
"Is your rope durable?" Mu Qingge was more concerned about this issue.
Ji Yaohua proudly replied, "Don’t worry, this rope is a treasure of our Ji Clan. Once bound, even a powerful spirit beast cannot escape."
"He is Wei Molili." Suddenly, Xi Qianxue, leaning against a black rock, stood up and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yaohua’s smile froze.
Not only Ji Yaohua but even Mu Qingge and Ying Ze turned to Xi Qianxue in shock.
Ji Yaohua twisted her stiff neck to face Xi Qianxue, her smile somewhat forced. "Goddess Xi, you’re not joking, right? This humanoid monster is Wei Molili?"
Xi Qianxue nodded solemnly, "The Wei Family and the Xi Family are both in Central Continent. When Wei Molili rose to fame, I saw him a few times, I can’t be mistaken. This person is indeed Wei Molili, whose whereabouts even the Wei Family is unaware of. However, I don’t know why he became like this."
"Roar——! Roar——!" Wei Molili let out a few more roars, the murderous intent in his eyes growing stronger.
The terrifying sound made Ji Yaohua look at him again. She really couldn’t associate the ’monster’ before her with the top of the Green Talent List.
"How... how could Wei Molili be here?" Ji Yaohua asked in shock.
Xi Qianxue pursed her lips, "Wei Molili is a martial fool, obsessed with cultivation, ignoring everything else. He left the Wei Family many years ago to seek higher breakthroughs. Although the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield is forbidden, we all know that great dangers often come with great opportunities. We all come here, so why wouldn’t he?"
Ying Ze nodded in agreement, "That’s very possible. If we can think of coming here, he certainly can too. I just don’t know how many years he has been here." With that, he frowned and made a bold assumption, "Could it be that he entered here right after leaving the Wei Family?"
Ji Yaohua took a breath of cold air, "That would be several years at least! Did he stay alone on the Ancient Battlefield for years?"
"I’m more curious about why he became like this, losing his reason." Mu Qingge fell silent for a moment before she spoke, looking at Wei Molili.
Ji Yaohua frowned, "Isn’t that obvious? If you were put in such a place for years, you’d go mad too."
Ying Ze glanced at her indifferently, "With your temperament, staying here for years would certainly drive you mad, that’s unquestionable. But, that’s Wei Molili. He’s always been used to solitary cultivation, used to going alone, how could he easily be driven mad? His current state is indeed abnormal."
"Perhaps he encountered something in the Ancient Battlefield..." Mu Qingge’s gaze darkened as she speculated.
Ji Yaohua’s eyes lit up in response, "Are you saying he encountered people from other realms and got hurt like this?"
"Unlikely." Xi Qianxue shook her head.
Her words caught the attention of the three, who all wanted to hear why she made such a judgment.
Xi Qianxue said, "When I encountered him, there were no signs of him being hunted. Besides, although he looked disheveled, he wasn’t injured, just not in his right mind."
"No pursuit, no injuries..." Mu Qingge gently murmured.
"Goddess Xi, how did you end up fighting with Wei Molili?" Ji Yaohua asked curiously.
Xi Qianxue shook her head, perplexed, "I had just come in, trapped by the mist for a day. When I finally got here, I saw a figure squatting ahead, seemingly chewing on something. Maybe he heard my footsteps and mistook me for an enemy, so he attacked me."
"Chewing?" Mu Qingge noticed this detail.
Suddenly, Xi Qianxue’s expression turned peculiar and pointed to a corner unnoticed by others.
The three followed her gaze, eyes narrowing abruptly.
There was a segment of human bone placed there!
Was Wei Molili gnawing on a human bone?!
This thought horrified the three.
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted. The four looked up and saw Wei Molili breaking the ropes binding him.
