The young master's eyes glinted with greed and avarice as he thought about the cultivation treasure that this kid supposedly had in his pocket. He was convinced that Xin Wei possessed a Qi Artifact, especially after witnessing the beam of light from earlier.
Even the Song Family, with all their wealth and resources, possessed only one Qi Artifact. Their Patriarch, a Rank 1 Qi Expert, would undoubtedly chase Xin Wei just for his treasure if given the opportunity.
With their eyes shining with a mix of greed and wariness, the two pursued Xin Wei relentlessly, determined to catch him at all costs. Dongfang pushed his index finger forward, blood in the corners of his mouth, and shouted out a battle cry.
"Qi Technique - Azure Finger!"
This was a pure offensive Qi Technique, designed specifically for killing. Unlike the versatile Azure Hand, which could be used for a variety of purposes, such as grabbing or slamming into things, Azure Finger was ant for one thing only: destruction. Its sole purpose was to eliminate the enemy with deadly precision.
As the gigantic index finger bore down on him, Xin Wei could feel the winds of destruction blowing around him. His heart pounded in his chest, but his eyes were clear and focused. He had been pushed to the brink of death, but he refused to give up. He had co too far to fail now.
With a fierce resolve, Xin Wei's hands flashed in an intricate gesture as he called upon the Qi in the air. It flowed into his body like a river, suffusing him with power and vitality. He could feel his muscles bulging, his bones hardening, as his body underwent an incredible transformation.
The Qi condensed around him, forming a barrier of pure energy that hardened into an impenetrable shell. He had activated the Iron Body technique, making his skin as tough as steel. But Xin Wei wasn't satisfied yet. He knew that he needed more power if he wanted to survive this encounter.
He closed his eyes, focusing all of his energy on the task at hand. The Qi surged through him like a hurricane, and he could feel his body glowing with an otherworldly energy. With a final burst of effort, he unleashed the Strengthen technique, pouring all of his power into his limbs.
Now, Xin Wei was ready. He opened his eyes, he was no longer afraid. With his body strengthened and his Qi flowing freely, he was ready to face whatever ca his way.
As the Azure Finger bore down on him, Xin Wei stood his ground. With a fierce cry, he raised his arms and t the attack head-on.
The sound of the explosion echoed through the Devil's Den as Xin Wei's body was hurled through the air. A gaping hole could be seen in his shoulder where the attack had landed, and the harmful Qi that had entered his body was wreaking havoc, sending his mind reeling and causing blood to pour from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. But despite the pain and chaos raging inside him, Xin Wei smiled.
He had made it out of the Devil's Den.
Coughing up a mouthful of blood, he struggled to his feet and resud running that seed to defy his injuries. If anything, to Dongfang and the young master, he appeared to be moving even faster than before.
But the young master was not pleased. His voice rang out with rage and madness, his fury boiling over at Dongfang's perceived betrayal.
"Dongfang, what do you think you're doing?" he bellowed.
The young master unleashed the full power of his Qi Technique - Azure Steps. In a blink of an eye, he covered a distance of twenty minutes and landed on the shores of the swamp, re ters away from Xin Wei. And with another step, he appeared right in front of him.
Xin Wei could feel the overwhelming power emanating from the young master, a testant to the terrifying strength of a Level 2 Qi Trainee.
Despite the blood and injuries that covered him, Xin Wei remained undaunted. He knew he had co too far to be stopped now.
The young master's palm strike, fueled by his imnse physical strength, was aid straight at Xin Wei. But before it could land, a voice cut through the air, disheartened and disappointed.
"Kid, I stepped up last ti because the previous attack was sothing you couldn't handle," Bai Gu Jing's voice echoed through the stillness. "But you're up against a piddling Level 2 Qi Trainee now. Don't tell you can't handle that either?"
As he erged from the Immortal Devil Sect dallion, ti seed to freeze. Only Xin Wei and Bai Gu Jing were able to move, while the red-haired young man, Dongfang, and everything else were as immobile as statues.
Bai Gu Jing shook his head in disappointnt as he looked at Xin Wei. "Back when I was at your level, I could easily crush Level 2 Qi Trainees and even toy with Level 3 Qi Trainees. When I beca a Level 2 Qi Trainee, I could fight evenly with a Rank 1 Qi Expert," he said, his voice filled with regret. "Although you're young and have only cultivated for a month, your battle prowess is laughable."
As Bai Gu Jing spoke, Xin Wei's eyes filled with a burning hatred, but he found himself unable to even speak a word. "You didn't even open nine Extraordinary ridians when you reached the first level," Bai Gu Jing continued. "I don't know why they picked you, but I have to comply with his wishes."
Bai Gu Jing paused for a brief mont, his eyes narrowing as he considered Xin Wei. "How about this," he said at last. "If you don't reach the third level within three months, I'll personally kill you with my own hands. I don't care if I have to incur their wrath, I have to do what's best for ... for my true self."
