Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 113 The Same Trick Repeated

Just as Kawamoto Taro took out his Japanese nesting dolls, Han Kexin immediately said to Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi, "You two take Xiaoying and move aside."

Having learned his lesson once, Qin Xiaochuan knew very well how formidable the nesting dolls were. At least until now, he hadn't come up with a way to deal with them. So, he immediately followed Han Kexin's instructions, picked up Xiaoying, and moved five meters to the side.

"Be careful, that gray vortex can not only absorb skills, but also suck people in," Qin Xiaochuan warned Han Kexin, wondering if she had any way to deal with it.

"I know," Han Kexin said coldly, "but it can only absorb people and skills with a lower spiritual power level than the user."

That's good. Qin Xiaochuan felt relieved, but then he thought that there were five people on the other side, and only Han Kexin and Zhou Bin could actually participate in the battle on their side. He wondered if the two of them would be okay.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that Guo Shiyi had not followed and was still standing behind Han Kexin and Zhou Bin. He originally wanted to call her, but then he thought that with Han Kexin and Zhou Bin there, she should be fine, and she could also provide some help to the two of them.

Qin Xiaochuan originally wanted to go and help, but he gave up after seeing Xiaoying beside him. Right now, the girl's safety was the most important thing. If anything happened to her, Qin Xiaochuan would be willing to die for her.

Just as various thoughts were flashing through his mind, Kawamoto Taro's side had already begun their counterattack. A huge ghost face flew out from in front of Kawamoto Taro with a crow-like cry, heading towards Han Kexin.

Seeing this, Zhou Bin took a step forward, blocking Han Kexin's path. At the same time, his hand seals kept changing. Then, a red light flashed, and a warrior dressed entirely in blood red appeared in front of him. The warrior held a shield in his left hand and a heavy sword in his right, with red light shooting from his eyes.

Just as the demon-faced creature flew in front of the warrior, it raised its shield with its left hand and slammed it down on the demon-faced creature, forcing it back several centimeters. Then, it swung its sword forward with its right hand and cleaved the demon-faced creature in two with a "crack".

The demon mask that was split in two did not disappear; instead, it transformed into two smaller demon masks that continued to attack the warrior.

Clearly, physical attacks had no effect on the Ghost Face. Han Kexin realized this and quickly moved her hands, preparing to unleash a skill to support the red warrior.

However, before she could unleash her skill, a cluster of pink cherry blossoms suddenly flew down from the sky and surrounded the red warrior. The warrior, surrounded by the cherry blossoms, became noticeably sluggish, as if he were stuck in a swamp, and even raising his shield and swinging his sword became extremely difficult.

Not only that, as the cherry blossoms surrounded the red warrior, a thick yellow spear suddenly shot out from the ground three meters in front of the red warrior, stabbing straight at his chest.

Just as the red warrior was about to be overwhelmed by the spear attack, Han Kexin finally unleashed her skill at this critical moment.

"Eye of the Storm!" Han Kexin shouted coldly. A tornado quickly generated from the battlefield, and the powerful wind instantly scattered the cherry blossom petals, then shredded the yellow spear and the two demon masks to pieces.

Without the obstruction of the demon mask and petals, the red warrior's movements immediately became more agile. He gripped his heavy sword and shield and strode towards the opposite side, while Miyazawa Shin immediately unleashed a skill, turning the ground beneath the red warrior's feet into a muddy mess.

"Uncle, are you so nervous because you're worried about Auntie?" Just as Qin Xiaochuan was paying attention to the battle situation, Xiaoying suddenly asked him.

When the little girl asked this question, she tilted her head, her two bright eyes darting around as if she were thinking about something, which was truly endearing.

Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but pat her head and said with a smile, "Of course I'm worried! Didn't you see she's fighting with someone? She's protecting Xiaoying."

"She wasn't protecting me, she was protecting Uncle," the little girl said, pouting her chubby cheeks.

"Nonsense, of course it's to protect Xiaoying. Uncle doesn't need protection at all." He waved his fist in front of the little girl. "Uncle is very strong, you know."

The little girl didn't speak, she just grinned.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, puzzled. For some reason, he felt that the little girl was acting a bit strange today.

"Does Uncle like Auntie?" the little girl asked instead of answering.

He stared at the little girl in astonishment, never expecting her to ask such a question at this moment, and wondered what was going on in her little head.

"What does this have to do with liking someone?" he asked speechlessly.

"Aren't all the boys on TV like that? They worry about girls getting hurt because they like them," the little girl said earnestly.

"Worrying doesn't necessarily mean liking someone." He was a little unsure how to explain this to a young girl who had been brainwashed by all sorts of melodramatic TV dramas. After thinking for a moment, he finally said to her, "It's not just your aunt; I worry about everyone. If Xiaoying is in danger, Uncle will worry too."

"Uncle, don't you like Xiaoying?" the little girl asked, frowning.

"Of course I like it, is there even a question?"

"That's it! Uncle is only worried because he likes her. I'll tell Auntie next time that you like her, Uncle," the little girl said happily.

Upon hearing her say this, Qin Xiaochuan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly told her, "You can't say it, please don't say it."

"Why?" the little girl asked, blinking her eyes.

Qin Xiaochuan scratched his head, his mind racing. He knew he had to answer this question well, or he didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to her, "Because if you say that, your aunt will be angry with your uncle, and then she'll never talk to him again. Do you want her to ignore your uncle?"

"I don't want that."

"That's it, so you absolutely mustn't tell her," he said with a smile.

"But why is she angry?" the little girl asked again.

Qin Xiaochuan couldn't understand why this precocious and curious little devil had so many tricky questions. Just as he was thinking about how to phrase his words so as not to corrupt the flowers of the motherland, he suddenly noticed a shadow on the ground beneath his feet.

Upon sensing the enemy, his nerves tensed instantly. Without thinking, he immediately formed several hand seals, and a tortoise-shell-shaped shield appeared in front of him and Xiaoying.

Bang! An ice arrow struck his Xuanwu Shield, instantly shattering it into pieces. The Xuanwu Shield flickered and then disappeared.

"Huh?" A surprised voice came from three meters in front of him. It was Ru Xiang from the other side. He didn't know when Ru Xiang had sneaked up from behind Kawamoto Taro.

He probably couldn't understand why Qin Xiaochuan's B-level skill blocked his A-level skill. After the sneak attack, he stood there stunned for a moment, and in that instant, Qin Xiaochuan released his counterattack skill.

"Blazing Dance!" he shouted in his mind, and a ball of dark red flame slammed towards Ru Xiang.

Kawamoto Taro immediately set up an ice wall in front of him.

Bang! With a huge explosion, the ice wall shattered into countless fragments, but those fragments of ice did not disappear. Instead, they quickly gathered together and transformed into a crystal-clear ice wolf that rushed towards Qin Xiaochuan.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaochuan took a step forward, concentrated his strength in his fist, and punched the ice wolf on the head.

The ice wolf shattered again, but this time the broken ice pieces failed to reassemble. Ru Xiang strode forward, his right fist covered with a sharp layer of ice, seemingly ready to engage Qin Xiaochuan in close combat.

"Then let me show you the power of 'Blood Surge'." Qin Xiaochuan sneered inwardly, his right fist instantly filled with almost explosive power, and then he punched the oncoming fist without hesitation.

"Crack." A crisp sound of bones breaking clearly reached his ears, and without any surprise, Ru Xiang was blasted away by his powerful force.

"Stop it, all of you!" Just as Qin Xiaochuan was gloating over his victory, a loud voice suddenly came from behind him.

What? He turned around in shock and saw Ru Xiang holding Xiao Ying in one hand and an ice pick in the other, which gleamed coldly in front of her neck.

He immediately realized that he hadn't expected to be fooled twice by the same skill.
