Chapter 1378: with translation of chapter title

They've already sent a signal to Viper; if he still doesn't come, damn, he can truly go collect his own corpse.

Li Xue grits his teeth, forcing himself to endure; in his heart there is only one belief: to hold on until Viper arrives.

Upon hearing that, Qiu Baiyi didn't answer, merely her attacks became even more vicious.

When Li Xue just used the Chuānyīn fú, Qiu Baiyi wanted to stop him; she naturally knew she couldn't let Li Xue contact Viper.

But this bastard would rather get injured than forcibly activate that Chuānyīn fú.

The reason Qiu Baiyi's earlier palm could directly strike Li Xue's chest was because he was preoccupied with the Chuānyīn fú.

Otherwise, with his extremely cowardly fighting style, it would truly be impossible to severely injure him with one palm.

Watching Qiu Baiyi's offensive grow ever fiercer, Li Xue coldly snorted.

"How, are you anxious? You really think you can kill me before Viper arrives, Qiu Baiyi?"

"If you flee now, perhaps there's still a sliver of hope; otherwise, there really will be no chance—by then Bai Song Gu will be destroyed, and you know your own fate."

"But if you flee, the others of Bai Song Gu will only be able to die for you."

"Having grown up in Bai Song Gu since childhood, would you abandon the Sect?"

It appears Qiu Baiyi has the upper hand, yet the one who is most anxious inside is actually her.

Adding Li Xue's continual verbal harassment, Qiu Baiyi becomes ever more impatient, even starting to act recklessly.

She doesn't even guard against Li Xue's counterattack, focusing solely on fiercely assaulting him.

And Li Xue indeed can endure; facing this state of Qiu Baiyi, he stubbornly holds back, not taking any risk.

He would rather be completely suppressed by Qiu Baiyi than give her any chance—this truly takes the word 'coward' to its extreme.

Li Xue's thought is simple: just stay steady.

Originally, because of that madman Viper, the previously stable situation turned into this messed-up state.

So he certainly cannot make such a mistake; for Li Xue now, the task is simple: just hold on until Viper returns, then everything will be settled.

Could Qiu Baiyi possibly fight two opponents at once?

So even if he loses face now, even if being suppressed by Qiu Baiyi makes him feel awful, Li Xue remains unmoved.

Even if Qiu Baiyi deliberately shows a flaw to lure him, Li Xue pretends not to see it, remaining unmoved.

At this point, exchanging blows with Qiu Baiyi would be utterly meaningless.

Seeing Li Xue never fall for it, Qiu Baiyi, aside from relentless fierce attacks, has no other recourse.

But as their fierce battle drags on, one Shíchén passes, two Shíchén pass, and Viper still hasn't appeared.

Li Xue's heart sinks again—could it be that this bastard didn't even bother after receiving the Chuānyīn fú? Has he gone completely mad?

Qiu Baiyi also feels doubtful in her heart, yet on the surface she coldly sneers.

"It seems Viper won't come to save you."

Damn, several Shíchén have passed and still no one in sight—Li Xue now wishes he could kill that Viper bastard; this is a real trap.

Damn, what was a great situation has been turned into this mess by him.

Now I've already sent word for him to return, and he still won't come back?

Although he's furious inside, on the surface Li Xue still puts on a tough front and says.

"Heh, do you think that's possible?"

"Whether it's possible or not, I don't know, but you probably can't hold out until then."

Now Qiu Baiyi only hopes Viper goes even crazier, best if he chases that Star Battleship all the way to the ends of the earth.

Then she would have enough time to behead Li Xue.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing isn't on the battleship either; if she could use this to lure Viper away, that would clearly be the best outcome.

Unfortunately, things often don't go as wished; just as hope rose again in Qiu Baiyi's heart and Li Xue felt a hint of despair, a loud shout rang out.

"Qiu Baiyi, you're courting death."

Hearing the voice, Qiu Baiyi's face darkened, while Viper was overjoyed.

He's come, damn, you finally came—do you know how much we've suffered waiting for you?

In order to hold on until Viper arrives, Li Xue's entire person can be described as utterly miserable.

His whole body is stained red with blood.

"Qiu Baiyi, I said you have no chance—Viper, together............ uh???"

But even though he's now seriously injured, as long as Viper rushes back, Li Xue's heart holds confidence to turn the tide.

After all, Viper's condition is not like his own.

But when Li Xue, after coldly laughing and finishing his words to Qiu Baiyi, turned his head toward Viper's direction, his whole body froze.

He saw that although Viper had no visible wounds, his aura had sunk to the extreme, and his face was deathly pale.

Frankly, this aura is even worse than Li Xue's—damn.

What the hell did he go do?

Looking at Viper, half-dead, Li Xue froze outright—'Damn, weren't you supposed to be chasing the Star Battleship?'

Wait, the Star Battleship? Right, right...

Suddenly realizing something, Li Xue's teeth were about to shatter; he couldn't even spare a glance for Qiu Baiyi beside him, and roared angrily.

"Viper, damn, did you use that Mìfǎ again?"

Viper's current state definitely means he used that Mìfǎ to chase the Star Battleship, and likely without any regard for consequences.

At this moment, Li Xue just wants to split Viper's head open to see whether this guy even has a brain.

Even a pig knows you can't catch a Star Battleship, even with secret arts.

Damn, you're an Emperor Sovereign Realm powerhouse and also the leader of those Space Pirates, having roamed south and north all these years—you wouldn't not know?

You clearly know you can't catch up, yet you still use the secret art, disregard the consequences, and reduce yourself to this—are you brain-damaged or did a door pinch your head?

I was hoping the Viper would come to save me, but now looking at it, damn, who's saving whom?

Although Li Xue looks even more miserable, drenched in blood, to be frank, his condition is actually a bit better than the Viper's.

Li Xue's face turned completely black.

And Qiu Baiyi, in despair, also noticed the Viper's condition at this moment.

He first froze, then a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

And there's this good fortune?

I thought the Viper's return meant I had no chance, but now it's not that there's no opportunity—damn, it's like a buy-one-get-one-free offer!

Originally, killing Li Xue alone would have been a profit; now, with the Viper in this state, it seems there's a chance to kill both of them at once.

Killing both Li Xue and the Viper at once was something Qiu Baiyi wouldn't even dare imagine before; now it seems my vision was too narrow.

Creak—creak.............

A voice of Li Xue grinding his teeth came from beside; hearing that, Qiu Baiyi coldly said.

"Isn't this opportunity here? Or rather, a buy-one-get-one-free deal."

"Qiu Baiyi, give me back Ye Zhangqing."

At this moment, the Viper is completely unaware of these issues; in his mind, Ye Zhangqing has already fled, and amidst the vast star sea, where should he go to find him.

Full of resentment, he actually took the initiative to attack Qiu Baiyi.
