Chapter 392 Fierce Battle with Qiongqi
"Gentlemen, the situation within the city is critical. Let us follow the Uncrowned One's orders and hurry to resist the demonic army," the Wood Priest broke the silence. After a pause, he asked the Gold Priest, "What do you think, Gold Priest?"
As soon as the Wood Priest spoke, the other priests all looked at the Gold Priest. The Gold Priest's gaze swept over everyone, his expression complex, but without a moment's hesitation, he said, "Since it is the Uncrowned One's order, we should just follow it. The five demon kings are no small force; we will need to deal with them." With that, he took the lead, flapping his wings and rushing towards the Golden-Beaked Ghost Eagle. The other priests followed suit.

When Guo Shiyi found Han Kexin in the inner court, Han Kexin was preparing to take Xiaoying to the Land of Rebirth. When she saw the barrier that had protected Crescent City for thousands of years break, she realized that the fall of Crescent City was only a matter of time. Her primary task was to protect Xiaoying from harm, so she had to take Xiaoying from the Land of Rebirth to Huaxu before the demon army fully attacked.
"Sister Kexin." Guo Shiyi couldn't help but call out happily when she saw Han Kexin.
"Shiyi, you're out?" She then looked behind Guo Shiyi and asked, "Where's Qin Xiaochuan? Why are you alone?"
"He went to deal with Qiongqi. He was worried about your safety, so he sent me to find you," Guo Shiyi said, patting Xiaoying's head.
"He's going to deal with Qiongqi?" Han Kexin couldn't believe her ears. "Does he know how powerful Qiongqi is? He's the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan, the King of all Demons. There's no one in Crescent Moon City who can stand against him. Isn't he just trying to stop a chariot with his bare hands?" Han Kexin said with a frown. Even she, facing the impending annihilation of the entire Blood Witch Clan, found it difficult to remain indifferent.
"He knows, and I know, but this is the will of Goddess Nuwa. I believe in him and in Goddess Nuwa's arrangement. He will definitely be able to save Crescent Moon City," Guo Shiyi said firmly.
"You saw the Goddess Nuwa?" Han Kexin asked, somewhat surprised.
Guo Shiyi nodded solemnly.
Han Kexin couldn't help but look up at the sky, her eyes filled with a complex expression.
-----------------
In mid-air, the dark clouds had slowly dispersed. Qiongqi flapped its wings and hovered in mid-air. Its deep blue eyes silently sized up Qin Xiaochuan for a while before it said in a deep voice, "You are the new uncrowned one of the Blood Witch Clan. So you are just a wet-headed child. No wonder Crescent City is so vulnerable now."
"So you're the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan? You're just a monster without any intelligence. No wonder the Demon Clan has remained as barbaric and rude as ever for thousands of years," Qin Xiaochuan retorted defiantly.
"You're arrogant, kid." Qiongqi's voice was somewhat angry, but then he laughed wildly, "But I like your arrogance. It's better than those hypocritical old guys. That's what makes me interested in killing you."
Qin Xiaochuan remained calm as he looked at it and said, "Although I don't like your arrogance, I am also interested in destroying you to put an end to the Blood Witch Clan's millennia-long fate."
"So today, either I'll beat you to death, or you'll beat me to death." For some reason, Qiongqi started chatting with Qin Xiaochuan with great interest.
"I don't think so. I think there will only be one outcome: you will be beaten to death by me." Qin Xiaochuan still refused to back down.
Qiongqi couldn't help but sneer, "Very well, I hope your strength is as powerful as your mouth." As it spoke these words, a chill had already gathered around it. In just that instant, Qin Xiaochuan felt the temperature around him plummet, and his breath turned into white mist.
"I thought I was back in Kunlun Ruins," Kaiming couldn't help but say. "This guy is very powerful. If he wanted to, I think he could even change the weather."
"Its strength is not to be underestimated, as it can defeat five priests at the same time." Although Qin Xiaochuan was not to be outdone in words, he dared not be careless in the face of this unfathomable enemy.
Qin Xiaochuan has just broken through to level 9 in spiritual power. Although he is confident that he can fight any top expert, the five high priests are all top experts, yet they were all defeated by Qiongqi. This can only mean that Qiongqi's strength has surpassed the limits of humanity. At this moment, Qin Xiaochuan's strength is far inferior to his opponent's. The only thing he can rely on is the Xuanyuan Sword, after all, it is the guidance of the Goddess Nuwa.
"Hurry up and summon the Xuanyuan Sword, otherwise you won't have a chance once the other side makes a move," Kaiming urged Qin Xiaochuan from below.
In fact, without Kaiming's urging, Qin Xiaochuan did not hesitate at all. He quickly recited the incantation taught to him by the Goddess Nuwa and tried to drive the Xuanyuan Sword in his mind.
After a while, the temperature in the air had dropped lower and lower, and a layer of fine ice crystals had condensed on Kaiming's fur. Qiongqi condensed countless ice cones that shone with a ghostly blue light. Those ice cones were like thousands of sharp swords, shooting towards Qin Xiaochuan at the same time.
"How's it going?" Kaiming asked impatiently, flapping its wings as it dodged Qin Xiaochuan through the ice spikes. The sheer number and speed of Qiongqi's ice spikes made it difficult even for it to handle. Several ice spikes pierced its rear and wings. These ice spikes seemed to contain special magic, and although the injuries weren't to vital areas, Kaiming still felt a piercing pain. It couldn't help but complain, "Why is your incantation so long? If you don't finish it soon, I'll be turned into a hedgehog!"
"The incantation was already finished," Qin Xiaochuan said, somewhat puzzled.
"Why hasn't the Xuanyuan Sword arrived yet?" Kaiming asked, puzzled. Just as it was speaking, another ice spike pierced its rear end. It couldn't help but let out a wail and spun around in the air a few times with Qin Xiaochuan to relieve the pain.
Qin Xiaochuan silently recited the incantation again amidst the dizziness, but there was still no change, just like before. "No, it seems there's no response," he said, frowning.
"No response? Then we're doomed!" Kaiming said anxiously. "We'd better run away quickly, I don't want to die young."
"At your age, you shouldn't be considered to have died young. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you died of old age," Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but tease. "Actually, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Even without the Xuanyuan Sword, we can still try to fight."
"Pah, I've only lived for a few thousand years, I'm still very young. Don't say such unlucky things. Since you can fight, take care of these ice spikes first. I can't do anything about them. Ice skills naturally counter my lightning skills." Those dark blue ice spikes seemed to be equipped with guidance devices. No matter how Kaiming dodged, they followed closely behind him and he couldn't shake them off at all.
"I can handle these tiny ice spikes." Qin Xiaochuan said, gathering his spiritual power, then exhaling and shouting, "Break!" A bluish-white flame then blasted towards the ice spikes chasing after him.
"Don't underestimate these ice spikes. They are made from ice marrow from the extremely cold land of the Nine Netherworld. Their hardness is no less than that of ten-thousand-year-old meteorite iron. The chill they emit can even reach the soul. Because they contain endless coldness, they are difficult to melt even in high temperatures."
As Kaiming flapped its wings, it used its extensive knowledge to explain the characteristics of Qiongqi's skills to Qin Xiaochuan. When it saw the dark blue ice spikes behind it melting away in Qin Xiaochuan's bluish-white flames, it had to add immediately, "Of course, only the Samadhi True Fire, which can burn everything in the world, can rival this ice marrow."
