Chapter 692: 692: Detoxification
Moreover, these guys were not easy to shake off.
Right now, the Moon Goddess was still expelling toxins from her body. Although these toxins weren’t difficult to drive out, after being poisoned, she had gone all out, which caused her to be afflicted more deeply.
Therefore, the Moon Goddess needed some time to completely detoxify.
The Evil Sword Immortal had anticipated this, thus launching the ambush to exhaust the Dao source that Qin Changqing had acquired.
After all, a Pseudo-Saint is not a Semi-Saint.
Once a Great Luo comprehends the Dao, the obtained Dao source is limited; once it runs out, they can’t access Pseudo-Saint Power anymore.
The best place to replenish Dao source is in the Immortal World. It’s not that it can’t be done in the Outer Heaven Realm, but the risk is more than a hundred times greater.
A Great Luo daring to comprehend the Dao in the Outer Heaven Realm is not much different from seeking death.
That’s why the Evil Sword Immortal kept persisting in his pursuit of Qin Changqing.
The Evil Sword Immortal didn’t show himself, attacking incessantly from a great distance.
Sword lights of blood silently came one after another.
The momentum of these blood-colored sword lights wasn’t enormous, rather, it was quite minimal.
So minimal that they were almost soundless, if a Golden Immortal were here, they might even think these blood-colored sword lights were ordinary and not threatening at all.
Then, that Golden Immortal would be instantly annihilated, not even residue left.
When one truly becomes a Semi-Saint, sometimes what they seek is not grand momentum.
Especially for these Evil Immortals, what they pursue is simply the killing of their opponent, and their attacks may even appear somewhat plain and unadorned.
Yet, their power is shockingly immense.
Of course, the mighty force exhibited by a Semi-Saint of the Immortal World is astonishing, and sometimes it isn’t deliberate, but a result of the movement of force causing the vibrations of heaven and earth.
In the Outer Heaven Realm, these vibrations would be much smaller.
Facing the relentless attacks of the Evil Sword Immortal, Qin Changqing’s expression didn’t change, and the Six Harmonies Mirror kept deploying, blocking these strikes.
Then, he dashed rapidly towards the direction of the Teleportation Array.
With every step he took, he covered what seemed like countless li.
But the Evil Sword Immortal was relentless, closely following from a distance, the blood-colored sword lights constantly attacking, aiming to deplete Qin Changqing’s Pseudo-Saint duration.
This fellow also didn’t strike with full force but kept harassing, wanting to make sure Qin Changqing dared not disengage his Pseudo-Saint status.
This way, quickly, a quarter of an hour passed.
The Evil Sword Immortal was still attacking from afar.
Even for a Semi-Saint, being too far away would affect the potency of their power.
However, the Evil Sword Immortal didn’t need to finish off Qin Changqing with one blow; as long as he could threaten Qin Changqing enough to prevent him from disengaging his Pseudo-Saint status, that would suffice.
The prowess of Qin Changqing in his Pseudo-Saint state was formidable, which made the Evil Sword Immortal quite wary, so he didn’t get any closer.
This way, another quarter of an hour passed.
“Let’s see how much Dao source you have left!”
The Evil Sword Immortal continued to exert pressure through his voice.
Qin Changqing’s expression remained unchanged, but his speed of movement became increasingly fast.
The Evil Sword Immortal intensified his offensive.
Then, another half an hour passed.
He still had the patience to endure, not closing the distance.
It wasn’t until another two hours had passed that the Evil Sword Immortal sensed Qin Changqing had begun to flee outright.
“Ha!”
This time, he abruptly closed the distance.
“Die!”
Then, countless blood-colored sword lights attacked Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing fled in a panic.
The Evil Sword Immortal had not yet had the chance to laugh gleefully when suddenly, an astonishing aura erupted from Qin Changqing.
Around the Evil Sword Immortal, numerous Six Harmonies Swords formed a massive Sword Array, striking out mightily.
“How is this possible!”
The Evil Sword Immortal was dumbfounded.
Qin Changqing actually used Pseudo-Saint Power only now.
Didn’t that mean that when Qin Changqing blocked his attacks earlier, it was actually with his real skills?
“Damn it!”
A few moments later, the Evil Sword Immortal looked towards the distance with lingering fear.
There, Qin Changqing had stopped the pursuit.
At that moment, there was still fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.
He felt incredibly stifled.
A Semi-Saint Evil Immortal, actually being driven to such a wretched state by a Great Luo!
Not only did he have to use a large number of trump cards to escape, but he was also injured once again.
“If I can capture this brat and extract his marrow to refine his blood, I will surely take another step forward!”
A fierce light flickered in the eyes of the Evil Sword Immortal as he then crushed an object in his hand.
He needed to find reinforcements!
“Qing, this poison is a bit tricky, and it looks like the Evil Immortal will keep hounding us. He’ll definitely summon help. This place is too far from the Immortal World. Crush this Moon Command, and my Master will come to our aid.”
Within the Mountain and River Map, the voice of the Moon God resonated.
She had also become aware of the Evil Sword Immortal’s relentless pursuit.
Qin Changqing didn’t refuse; he wasn’t afraid of one Evil Sword Immortal, but if that fellow brought a helper, it would become troublesome.
The Evil Sword Immortal’s distant sneak attacks could indeed be blocked without using Pseudo-Saint Power.
If this guy dared to come closer, Qin Changqing could use Pseudo-Saint Power to give him a hard time.
But killing the opponent was still very difficult.
If this guy brought one or even several Semi-Saint helpers, it would become quite perilous.
Mainly, the Moon God couldn’t make a move, and this place was far from the Immortal World. Although there were Teleportation Arrays, the distance to the nearest Teleportation Array was not short.
Who knew if the Evil Sword Immortal had reinforcements nearby?
The guy had been severely injured by Qin Changqing and yet still followed him from a distance without giving up.
Although Qin Changqing couldn’t sense the exact location of the other party, he was certain that he was nearby, sensing an alert in his heart.
Therefore, Qin Changqing crushed the Moon Command.
However… a good half a day passed without any response.
“How can this be? Qing, it looks like Master has entered some dangerous place,” the Moon God reacted.
“No matter, I will take you away from here,” Qin Changqing said.
The Moon God shook her head: “You don’t know about these Evil Immortals. They usually operate in Outer Heaven Realm. The chances of encountering them aren’t great, but once you do and they target you, it’s hard to shake them off. He will definitely have assistance.”
At this point, she looked at Qin Changqing and said, “Qing, there’s a way to detoxify quickly, but I need your help.”
Qin Changqing said, “Please speak, Moon God.”
The Moon God still appeared aloof: “This poison the Evil Immortal used on women is primarily meant to arouse lust and impair judgment. I’ve dealt with the other poisons, but this one is difficult to cure.”
She looked at Qin Changqing: “Therefore, with your Pure Yang energy, you can detoxify me.”
Pure Yang energy?
Wasn’t that the poison for what’s-that? To think that even at the Semi-Saint level, there would still be such a poison.
However, only the Moon God could state it in such an indifferent tone.
Qin Changqing said, “Alright, what do I need to do?”
The Moon God’s face betrayed a barely noticeable embarrassment as she took a deep breath and said, “Qing, close your eyes.”
Qin Changqing closed his eyes.
Then, he sensed the Moon God pressing her lips against his.
“Don’t move, I need to absorb Pure Yang energy from you,” came the message from the Moon God’s Immortal Thoughts.
To absorb Pure Yang energy… through this method?
However… it seemed that if it wasn’t done this way, the only alternative was another method.
