Chapter 399 Telepathy
Qin Xiaochuan frowned. Although he now possessed the Xuanyuan Sword, he was unable to pinpoint the enemy's location. It was as if he had a nuclear weapon but lacked a powerful delivery system. Meanwhile, Qiongqi could use its Vengeful Spirit Devouring Heart skill to block his senses and deliver a fatal blow unexpectedly. In this light, even with the Xuanyuan Sword, he was still at a disadvantage.
Even though Kaiming kept releasing lightning-type skills, he could only buy some time. The shrieks became more and more intense, and Qin Xiaochuan felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his soul at the same time.
Qin Xiaochuan had no choice but to silently recite the incantation for calming the mind while weakening his perception. Now that the ice mist was no longer an obstacle, he was able to keep a close eye on Qiongqi's every move and guard against it launching a sudden attack.
Just then, Qiongqi suddenly moved. As Qiongqi disappeared from its spot, Qin Xiaochuan's heart stirred, and he slashed his sword into the void behind him. Qiongqi had just reappeared behind him when the Xuanyuan Sword landed right on its body. A look of surprise appeared in Qiongqi's eyes, and the cold aura released from its claws dissipated as soon as it was released.
"Swoosh!" The Xuanyuan Sword sliced through Qiongqi's body, splattering blood into the air. Qiongqi roared in pain and disappeared from the spot once again.
"How is this possible!" Qiongqi appeared three meters away from Qin Xiaochuan, looking at Qin Xiaochuan with disbelief.
No wonder Qiongqi was surprised. Even Qin Xiaochuan was completely unprepared. Just as Qiongqi disappeared, Qin Xiaochuan immediately sensed where it would appear, which is why he subconsciously swung his sword behind him. However, he couldn't understand why he had this premonition. It seemed to happen naturally without any reason.
Could it be that...?
"Actually, this is a kind of supernatural power called telepathy, but you haven't fully mastered it yet. The reason you can sense the emotions of animals or others is because of the 'Tao,' or rather, your Dao heart connects you with others." Zhao Changyu's kind and gentle face reappeared in Qin Xiaochuan's mind. When the other party said these words, Qin Xiaochuan didn't have any understanding, but just now, at the moment Qiongqi disappeared, he seemed to have truly felt it.
Could this be telepathy? Qin Xiaochuan was unsure; he needed to verify it again.
Qiongqi happened to share the same idea; it was unwilling to give up, so it needed to experiment again.
Qiongqi disappeared into the air again, and Qin Xiaochuan's sword struck the spot where Qiongqi reappeared once more.
"Impossible!" Qiongqi roared in disbelief, launching several attacks on Qin Xiaochuan, but Qin Xiaochuan anticipated its movements each time. After several rounds, Qiongqi's body was covered in wounds, and its dark blue water-patterned fur was stained red with blood.
"You've lost," Qin Xiaochuan said coldly, pointing his sword at Qiongqi.
"It's not over yet!" Qiongqi roared. "The resentment in this world will never cease. As long as resentment exists, I can never lose." With that, it howled to the sky, then roared, "Absorb Hatred!"
Countless black wisps rose from Crescent City and were all sucked into Qiongqi's mouth. Qiongqi's body grew larger and larger, and the color of the patterns on its body became darker and darker.
"Could this be... the resentment in Crescent City?" Qin Xiaochuan stared dumbfounded at the sudden turn of events. This war, which had lasted for a day and a night, had claimed countless lives and displaced countless others, leaving behind wounds that could never be healed. The resulting resentment was enough to blot out the sky.
Qiongqi's body had almost doubled in size, its features and limbs were extremely distorted, and it was no longer recognizable as it had been. Its body had also turned almost black. The sky was filled with swirling winds and dark clouds, and the sun was once again obscured. The entire Crescent City was shrouded in a suffocating darkness. For a moment, all the people and monsters stopped fighting and looked up at the monster in the sky. A nameless fear gripped everyone's hearts.
"Die!" Qiongqi roared, charging towards Qin Xiaochuan with the force of a storm.
Qin Xiaochuan's gaze was firm, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand shone brightly. The next moment, he faced Qiongqi without hesitation.
"Boom!" A loud explosion resounded through the sky. Golden light pierced through the dark clouds, emitting countless golden rays, which then converged in one place before shooting out again, dispelling all the dark clouds.
The dazzling light blinded everyone. After the explosion subsided, everything fell silent, the world so quiet that it seemed as if you could only hear your own breathing.
After a brief period of blindness, people saw a dark shadow fall from the sky and crash heavily onto a house in Crescent City. With a loud "bang," the house collapsed. At this moment, Qiongqi, like a deflated balloon, lay in the ruins, looking no different from an injured kitten.
Seeing this, the five demon kings attacked Qin Xiaochuan at the same time. Qin Xiaochuan swung his sword, and endless golden sword energy shot out from the Xuanyuan Sword, instantly leaving several large and small wounds on the five demon kings.
The blood witches in Crescent City were in high spirits and immediately launched a fierce counterattack against the demon race. The five demon kings looked at Qin Xiaochuan, who stood proudly in the air, and knew that they could not gain any advantage today. Although they were very unwilling, they could only lead the demon army to slowly retreat from Crescent City.
"Uncrowned One, the demon army has begun to retreat. Should we take this opportunity to launch a counterattack?" The Wood Priest flew to Qin Xiaochuan and respectfully asked for instructions.
Qin Xiaochuan coldly watched the monster army slowly receding like a tide, then glanced at the devastated Crescent City. The corpses of the Blood Witch Clan and monsters piled up almost like a small mountain along the city walls. War is always more brutal than imagined.
"Forget it." Qin Xiaochuan sighed softly. Continuing to pursue would only increase unnecessary casualties. The warriors in the city were already exhausted, and the monsters could never be completely killed.
"Let's focus on post-war relief efforts first," Qin Xiaochuan said.
"Yes!" The wood priest paused for a moment before slowly saying, "The gold priest... he's dead."
Upon hearing the Wood Priest's words, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but recall the scene of the Gold Priest's final instructions to him. He remained silent for a moment, then softly said, "I understand," and said nothing more.
After the wood priest performed a gesture of respect to Qin Xiaochuan, he flapped his wings to direct the medical team in rescuing the wounded, while the other three priests carried out their respective duties.
Qin Xiaochuan patted Kaiming on the shoulder, and Kaiming understood. He then flew towards the royal court with Qin Xiaochuan. Outside the black iron gate of the royal court, Qin Xiaochuan found Guo Shiyi, who was healing the wounded. He quickly flew to her side.
The two exchanged a deep look, and then Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but say indulgently, "Why did you run out? Didn't I tell you to stay in the inner palace? It's dangerous outside."
"I'm not a useless child." Guo Shiyi made a face at him. "Besides, the whole city is full of injured people. How could I just stand by and watch them die?"
"But they still have misunderstandings about you. It's better to be safe than sorry. Haven't you heard the saying, 'It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark'?" Qin Xiaochuan patted her head helplessly.
"You've got quite a few idioms. When I healed them, the misunderstanding disappeared. You can ask him if you don't believe me." Guo Shiyi said, pointing to the young blood witch who looked to be only in his twenties, who was being treated by her. After the barrier was destroyed, he was hit in the arm by a fireball from the demon race, and then his leg was broken by a collapsing house. Although he survived by sheer luck, he would inevitably be left with a disability.
"Miss Guo is simply an angel. She is so beautiful and kind; she would never be the kind of person to use vicious means to take someone's life." The wounded Blood Witch said excitedly, "If it weren't for Miss Guo, I might have bled to death."
"How was it?" Guo Shiyi looked at him with pride, her bright smile radiating endless vitality.
Qin Xiaochuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "It seems like nothing can hold you back."
"Of course, because I have you here," Guo Shiyi said proudly.
"Speak, what do you need my help with? The future Blood Witch King will personally assist Angel Guo." Qin Xiaochuan said, planting the Xuanyuan Sword in the ground and rolling up his sleeves.
"Oh, that's an honor," Guo Shiyi said with a smile. "In that case, could you please take those healed patients to that temporary treatment center to rest? They need some time to recuperate." Guo Shiyi pointed to a simple wooden shed that she had built using wood-type spiritual power.
