Chapter 98: Handling

Su Su Zhangqing's eyes were burned and damaged, leaving him blind.

After forcibly enduring a sword light from the Lingbo Fairy, he leaped fiercely toward the cold pool before him, relying solely on memory.

Had he not swallowed the Fire Qilin blood, Su Su Zhangqing's martial arts strength would have allowed him to crush the three people before him with a mere wave of his hand.

But now he could only endure; once he no longer needed to suppress the Fire Qilin blood and had completely absorbed its power, he would be able to grind the three before him to dust and scatter their ashes.

And the extreme cold aura within the pool would undoubtedly help him achieve this quickly.

"Senior Lingbo Fairy, you cannot let him enter the cold pool."

Han Meiyan cried out urgently toward the half-air; the Lingbo Fairy, dressed in white robes like snow, immediately frowned, her face full of wrinkles darkening at once.

In the next instant, she raised her hand to send out a green sword qi several feet long, striking down fiercely at Su Su Zhangqing, her voice cold as she said:

"Su Su Zhangqing, spit out the Fire Qilin blood immediately, or I will truly unleash a killing move, and you will certainly die."

Su Su Zhangqing, whose body was covered in rotting flesh, was struck by the green sword qi; a gruesome wound opened on his chest, and he, along with Zhang He clinging to his back, was blasted flying, crashing against the rock wall far from the cold pool.

"Old thing, if you force me again, I will detonate the Fire Qilin blood and perish with you all!"

Su Su Zhangqing's voice dark as he surged upward again, simultaneously punching Zhang He on his back, smashing Zhang He's flesh and bones inward to form a fist-sized deep pit.

However, a dim red light flowed within Zhang He's body, and the pit immediately began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Zhang He suddenly opened his mouth again and bit off a piece of scorched flesh from Su Su Zhangqing's back.

He chewed fiercely a few times, then swallowed it directly, whispering sinisterly in his ear:

"You cannot kill me; instead, I can slowly eat you bit by bit!"

Hearing this, Su Su Zhangqing ground his teeth, nearly overcome with rage, but he ultimately calmed himself.

Without uttering a word, he continued to rush toward the cold pool while resisting the erosion of the Fire Qilin blood's power within his body.

Seeing this, Han Meiyan's eyes flashed with cold light, just about to move to stop him, but in the next instant, her gaze suddenly contracted.

She saw that Li Musheng's figure had appeared at some unknown moment, arriving beside Su Su Zhangqing in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, upon sensing Li Musheng's arrival, Su Su Zhangqing's eyes immediately blazed with murderous intent.

Without a second thought, he raised his fist and struck down at Li Musheng:

"Any stray cat or dog comes to snatch the Fire Qilin blood; die!"

However, he soon discovered that his charged punch, before it could even leave his hand, suddenly halted in mid-air; the power around his body rapidly dissipated, leaving him unable to move even an inch.

And the person appearing before him now instead spoke to the other person clinging to his back:

"Stop gnawing; I let you eat, but you've eaten all the Fire Qilin blood away!"

Hearing this, Zhang He looked at Li Musheng with fear, but his gaze immediately darkened, and he paid no attention.

He could clearly sense that after eating part of the Fire Qilin blood contained within Su Su Zhangqing's flesh and blood, his own physique and the Undying Blood Saint Art were improving at an astonishing speed.

This Fire Qilin blood truly matched him perfectly and held an irresistible attraction for him.

Indeed, Zhang He had a strong feeling that if he swallowed all the Fire Qilin blood, even experts of the Heaven-and-Mortal Realm would mean nothing in his eyes.

In an instant, Zhang He's eyes immediately showed madness; disregarding everything, he bit fiercely at Su Su Zhangqing's neck again.

However, before he could close his mouth, a terrifying true qi slapped his face in an instant.

The overwhelming force directly sent his entire body flying, crashing with a boom against the rock wall behind him and smashing out a human-shaped pit several feet deep.

"You still want to eat? Do you think I gave you face?"

Li Musheng frowned slightly, then looked at the Su Su Zhangqing before him; after sizing him up for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said:

"Will you spit out the Fire Qilin blood yourself, or shall I do it personally?"

Hearing this, Su Su Zhangqing moved his lips, preparing to speak.

But just then, a massive sword light from afar tore through the long sky and suddenly struck down.

The sword light tore through space, humming softly with a terrifying killing intent; at the same time, the Lingbo Fairy rushed forward quickly, her voice cold as she said:

"Wanting a share of the spoils, boy, you haven't even asked if I agree!"

Li Musheng did not even turn his head, pointing his finger directly downward.

Immediately, an invisible sword qi shot forth, instantly annihilating the sword light and appearing before the Lingbo Fairy in an instant.

In that moment, the old woman, whose face had been full of frost and gloom, suddenly widened her eyes, filled with terror.

But the sword qi came too fast; she could only immediately use the Lingbo Step to dodge.

However, unfortunately, her reaction was slightly too slow; the sword qi pierced straight through her forehead.

And the old woman, who had just turned into a afterimage, suddenly halted, stopping motionless; the life force within her body quietly vanished.

Han Meiyan, not far away, upon seeing this scene, immediately lowered her head, her face filled with horror.

When she had seen Li Musheng before, she had still been hesitating whether to act.

But now, having witnessed Li Musheng's terrifying strength with her own eyes, she had not the slightest thought of acting.

Her only thought at this moment was to get away from here as quickly as possible.

However, since Li Musheng was still present, she dared not move even an inch.

She could only stand in place, trying not to make any sound, acting like an ordinary passerby who had not the slightest thought regarding the Fire Qilin blood.

At the same time, Li Musheng glanced toward the direction of the Lingbo Fairy and shook his head slightly.

That sword strike just now from the other party was almost intended to take his life; otherwise, he would not have used such a fierce finger sword against her.

Of course, the finger sword he just used was actually not impossible to dodge, but unfortunately, the other party's martial arts cultivation was still lacking, and she could not dodge it.

Therefore, it can only be said that it was the other party's fate.

At this moment, Li Musheng looked again at Han Meiyan on the other side, who was gazing at her nose and her nose at her heart, showing no intention whatsoever to act, then withdrew his gaze.

This demoness, although somewhat flirtatious, still understood some human affairs and knew how to gauge the situation; her figure was not bad either...

Hmm... for now, I'm too lazy to deal with her.

Li Musheng thought, then his gaze fell on the Su Su Zhangqing before him, and he spoke, asking:

"How's your thinking going?"

Hearing this, Su Su Zhangqing's expression flickered uncertainly. He could naturally sense the strength of the Li Musheng before him, but he truly did not want to give up the Fire Qilin's blood.

He had endured untold suffering to devour this divine object, and now that he could already see hope of devouring and absorbing the Fire Qilin's blood, asking him to spit it out was something he truly found impossible to do.

"Forget it, I'll just do it myself."

Seeing that he gave no answer for quite a while, Li Musheng frowned slightly and decided to act directly.

Although it was a bit more troublesome, he couldn't be bothered to waste time with the other party.

The next moment, he unleashed the Six Directions Vein-Severing Dragon-Catching technique on the Su Su Zhangqing before him!
