Chapter 828: Extra 4: 65

Li Qingying had already gotten onto the bed to pour true qi into Xiao Jiu's body.

Hui Moqiong then retreated from the room, stood in the courtyard, and looked upward.

The sky had already darkened, yet one could still feel the dark, heavy vapor in midair continuously pressing down above the courtyard.

Within the clouds, lightning flickered intermittently, gradually accumulating something.

When the frequency of lightning flashes in the cloud layer kept increasing, Hui Moqiong realized that the third bolt of thunder was about to fall.

He did not dodge; instead, he mobilized his entire cultivation, forming hand seals and drawing talismans.

He intended to help Xiao Jiu block this thunder.

He also wanted to see who was harming Seventh Lord and harming Little Three!

As the third thunderbolt broke through the clouds and fell toward the courtyard, Hui Moqiong formed a seal with his hands, and a mighty qi sea surged forth to meet the thunderbolt.

Boom!

Two powerful forces collided in midair; as the earth shook and mountains trembled, Hui Moqiong felt not only the pain of his whole body being heavily damaged, but also saw the shattered thundercloud rapidly condense into a huge sharp claw that pierced the qi sea and grabbed toward the main house!

In the east wing, Xiao Jiu only felt a twisting pain in her belly, as if something were about to be pulled out; she had to endure the pain and quickly draw a blood talisman on her belly again to repel that force.

This was already the third time.

The opponent was clearly targeting her belly.

It seems Liu Junyan had me conceive Little Three on purpose, indeed with some motive.

Although she still couldn't figure everything out for now, Xiao Jiu knew she must protect Little Three!

Not only for Liu Junyan, but also for herself!

Just as the three were struggling to hold on, hurried footsteps came from outside the open courtyard gate.

Soon, a familiar figure rushed in from outside.

Xiao Jiu first heard Hui Moqiong's voice in the courtyard: "Seventh Lord, how did you come?"

Immediately followed, Liu Junyan's anxious voice: "Where's Xiao Jiu? How is the child?"

Hui Moqiong said: "In the room, the situation is not good, Seventh Lord—what on earth is going on?"

While speaking, Hui Moqiong had already entered the east wing together with Liu Junyan.

Xiao Jiu had blood at the corner of her mouth, she lifted her eyes to look at Liu Junyan.

Their eyes met; Liu Junyan strode to the bedside: "Xiao Jiu, Suedi is dangerous—you can't stay here; I'll send you back."

Li Qingying nodded firmly: "Yes, go back, go to Wufu Town; on our turf, at least when such a big incident occurs, we can have enough help."

Hui Moqiong also said: "I'll go get the car."

Liu Junyan, however, said: "There's no time; you two drive back, I'll take Xiao Jiu via the water route… uh…"

Before Liu Junyan finished speaking, his chest was struck solidly with a palm, his whole body slamming into the wall.

Hui Moqiong and Li Qingying were both startled.

Xiao Jiu's qi stirred; she coughed violently a few times, blood trickling continuously from the corner of her lips.

She protected her belly with one hand, while the other hand remained in an attacking posture toward Liu Junyan; her eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, were full of ferocity: "Speak, who are you? What have you done to Liu Junyan? What do you intend to do to my child?!"

Hui Moqiong reacted first, flashing his body to stand in front of Xiao Jiu.

The man opposite clearly looked like Liu Junyan.

Having followed Seventh Lord for many years, Hui Moqiong could tell by scent even if Seventh Lord had turned to ashes.

But Xiao Jiu said the person opposite was not Seventh Lord, so he certainly wasn't.

Better to mistakenly kill than to misidentify.

He had promised Seventh Lord that he would surely protect Xiao Jiu well.

Li Qingying also couldn't tell; her gaze wandered between the man, Hui Moqiong, and Xiao Jiu, and finally she stood beside Hui Moqiong, together guarding Xiao Jiu.

The man gave a ferocious chuckle, answered none of the questions, and lunged at Xiao Jiu again.

Hui Moqiong and Li Qingying both went forward to meet him; in the blink of an eye they exchanged dozens of moves, finally Hui Moqiong struck the man's chest with a palm, creating distance.

This palm, Hui Moqiong did not have the ability to heavily strike the man.

But at the moment he unleashed that palm, he clearly felt another force suddenly surge from the man's body; the man's stance stalled abruptly, and Hui Moqiong seized the opportunity, thus heavily damaging the man.

It was precisely this palm that made Hui Moqiong realize that the man before him was definitely not his Seventh Lord.

This is an impostor.

The force that had just aided him was truly Seventh Lord's!

And coincidentally, after this palm heavily damaged him, the man's form began to waver; his body rapidly transformed, and soon he actually turned into a... dragon!

The dragon's head loomed high, looking down at Hui Moqiong, while the dragon's body pierced the wall, its rear unseen.

Merely the dragon's head, its intimidating pressure was enough to make one's heart tremble with fear.

What's more terrifying, Hui Moqiong still could see no difference between this dragon head and Seventh Lord's true form.

Drawing a tiger's skin is hard to draw its bones.

Impostors usually resemble in appearance and demeanor, but once their true form is revealed, they immediately show their original shape.

Hui Moqiong had never seen before an impostor whose true form looked exactly identical.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Jiu.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Jiu had already manifested her phoenix true form, her wings fluttering, a dozen or so wing feathers like arrows, all shooting straight toward the dragon's head.

The dragon head dodged; as the feathers neared the dragon head, they ignited Nirvana fire, each feather piercing straight into the dragon's body.

Xiao Jiu's next attack followed immediately, giving the opponent no chance to catch breath.

The east wing's wall finally could not bear the load and collapsed with a boom.

Hui Moqiong, quick-eyed and quick-handed, pulled Li Qingying and swiftly fled.

Meanwhile, that dragon head and Xiao Jiu had already fought their way up into the sky.

When Hui Moqiong and Li Qingying saw the dragon's full form, they both gasped.

Because they could not see the dragon's body or Lóngwěi, they could only see a hazy mist.

That feeling was very strange…… It was not as if the dragon's body and Lóngwěi were hidden in the mist; rather, the dragon's head and a small front part of its body seemed to be formed from the mist.

The fight did not last long; the dragon's head suddenly seemed to be controlled by another force, thrashing about in midair, and soon it vanished into the mist, which then swiftly retreated westward.

Xiao Jiu shifted into human form and fell down.

Li Qingying caught Xiao Jiu in one arm, let her lean against her chest, immediately infused her with true qi, and while ordering Hui Moqiong, 'Go drive; we must leave at once.'

Xiao Jiu tugged at Li Qingying, her lips moving constantly as she tried to say something, but she was too weak, her voice barely audible.

Li Qingying had no choice but to bring her ear close, holding her breath to listen carefully.

She heard Xiao Jiu saying, 'No, don't go, can't go, wait……'

Li Qingying puzzled, 'Wait for what? Xiao Jiu, if that thing comes back to attack again, you definitely won't be able to withstand it.'

She and Hui Moqiong can fight, but Xiao Jiu cannot fight anymore.

That thing was clearly aimed at Xiao Jiu's belly.

'Wait……' Xiao Jiu insisted, 'Wait until midnight, wait for Liu Junyan…… to come……'
