Chapter 7: Why Despair

All this seemed to be maliciously slowing down, as if to let Bai Junqian see it very clearly.

"Lingxi!"

Seeing that she was about to be attacked by a first-order monster, Bai Junqian was so far away from her.

"Master!"

Lingxi already knew what would happen to him in the next moment, but he still called Bai Junqian.

But it was this call that made Bai Junqian understand in an instant: she can't be hurt! And it was infinitely magnified in his mind, so his body moved before his emotions as he did once, jumped out at the fastest speed he had ever made, jumped lightly into the air, and then he wrote a spell in the air.

"All Soul Talismans!"

When the last word is shouted, the spell is complete.

Suddenly, the Ten Thousand Soul Runes that were hanging in the air began to absorb the aura of this place rapidly, causing a violent upheaval, and then turned into white light, most of which shot out towards the first-order monster, accumulating damage.

"Woo!" the monster let out a shrill scream. The remaining light seemed to tear through the created space, and the wind formed by the impact swept through everything.

"Beasts! At this time, Lingxi heard a sound like scolding at close range, and at the same time, there was a whimpering sound from the monster. Then, a second later, Lingxi's body was bounced a meter or two away by the impact and landed on the grass that was not too hard.

"Ahem, ahem!?

Before he was about to accept the situation, Lingxi coughed violently from the discomfort in his throat. Earthy and bitter tastes overlapped on her tongue, causing her to cough and open her eyes hard.

"How...... What's going on?"

Lingxi made a somewhat hoarse sound, and she looked at it intently in a field of dust, for some reason, the sky turned the color of night, and the surrounding flowers and trees also showed a withered appearance, but the first-order monster that attacked her was lying motionless on the ground not far in front of her, and some black mist gradually emerged from its body.

And Bai Junqian stepped on the body of that first-order monster with one foot, a white robe was particularly eye-catching, and he was surrounded by smoke and dust, but he seemed to be spotless.

Inky long black hair was draped over his shoulders, drifting slightly with the sand and dust that stirred in the air.

Lingxi stopped breathing for a moment, and remained motionless in the position that had fallen to his knees from the impact.

Long. "Lingxi, it's okay!" Bai Junqian walked towards Lingxi and stretched out his hand.

Lingxi blinked his eyes and came back to his senses, but for a while his limbs seemed to be a little weak, and after trying to get up by himself, it seemed that he couldn't. So after seeing Bai Junqian's shallow smile in the up-up and hazy white light, she still overcame her embarrassment and chose to stretch out her hand.

"Are you alright?" asked Bai Junqian at the moment when he pulled Lingxi up, his tone mixed with a tremor that no one could detect. Although he didn't understand why he had this kind of mentality, and he also thought that the emotional sea between their master and apprentice was not thick to that extent, Bai Junqian himself did clearly understand what despair was at that time.

His heart stopped beating, as if it came from nowhere, but endless pain was about to pour out, as if Lingxi was dead, and there was no point in his life.

This kind of unknown and abnormal emotion appeared for the first time in a little demon cultivator named 'Lingxi', and it was not so strong at that time, but this time, it was obviously a different person, why, was it really as he thought......

"I'm fine. Lingxi didn't want Bai Junqian to worry, so he replied pretending to be casual.

"Hmm. At this moment, although Bai Junqian's face was stained with a little blood, it did not affect his smile at all, bringing warmth and peace of mind to Lingxi.

"Hmm....." Lingxi looked at him, and he looked at Lingxi too.

Everything is predestined, he will definitely save her, and she will definitely wait for him to save her. The atmosphere formed by such a tacit understanding is somewhat ambiguous.

"Master, Master, I'm glad you're here. Shun and I have been chased by this monster for more than ten minutes. Shin, who came running from afar, wept with joy and howled with a sigh of relief.

Therefore, it also interrupted the atmosphere between Lingxi and Bai Junqian.

"Master. Shun was very calm, and bowed respectfully to Bai Junqian. But from his injured and somewhat trembling arm, and the more unnatural expression, it could be seen that he was actually scared too.

"You two, what do you want to say to the teacher......" Before the words fell, a white mist filled the area around them. The first-order monster also disappeared without a trace, disappearing into a white mist, and even the sound and breath disappeared.

"The three of you are too far away from me, all surround me!" Bai Junqian hurriedly said, the movements of his hands did not stop, and a paper fire charm appeared in the air around them, expanding his field of vision a little.

"How did you put it in?!" Bai Junqian asked as he continued to cast a defensive enchantment spell.

The letter of "this ......" was a little slurred, and he didn't say a few words for a long time, apparently for fear of being scolded.

"I thought that Shinwa I could already go to fight against the third- and fourth-order monsters, and I wanted to go to the black evil shirt to attract a few to come over, so I went to the place where they all gathered and opened the enchantment channel, who knows, when we just opened the enchantment to the black evil peak, the first-order monster was actually there, and then it broke in. Shun said instead of the letter.

Hearing this, Bai Junqian only felt that this point in time was too bad at this moment. In fact, Wuxie Peak has always isolated some of the monsters he has captured in the past few hundred years, and that rare first-order monster is also the only first-order monster on Wuxie Peak.

Back then, because the level was about the same, in order to catch this first-order monster, Bai Junqian wasted his strength, and then recuperated from his injuries for a month. Now that first-order monster has been in the Black Evil Peak for almost a hundred years, and its strength must have increased a lot.

Just now, because I used that magic talisman to extract another part of the spell power in this enchantment and use it, the enchantment has become fragile, and if the enchantment can't hold on, that first-order monster will have to escape from the Ethereal Mountain.

And the most important thing is that now Bai Junqian has to protect his three apprentices in addition to taking care of himself, the situation is really not optimistic!

"How can you open the enchantment of Wuxie Peak at will, although the two enchantments were originally connected so that you can train, but...... Forget it, all in all, the three of you don't move. This first-order monster is starting to get serious, and it seems that it was just teasing you just now. Bai Junqian said helplessly, and then emphasized again, but Lingxi and they still didn't quite understand the meaning of those words in the second half of the break.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar, and an overwhelming sound of violence and air waves swept across the ground, and broken branches stirred in the air.

If it weren't for Bai Junqian's defensive enchantment, they would have been thrown out a long time ago.

Coupled with the concussions around the defensive barrier that were being hit again and again...... At this moment, Lingxi and the others finally realized that their cognition was too naïve.

The current situation is a first-order monster, one in the early stage of the Jindan who can't spell, the two injured in the middle of the Yuan Infant, and one in the transformation period of taking care of the overall situation, and has entered the gamble of whether it can survive.

"-Drink, ahhhhh

Then, as if accumulating strength, there was no sound for a long time, and Bai Junqian seemed to notice it, and said to Xin and Shun: "You also cast a spell to defend against the enchantment. ”

"Good!" both of them responded, their expressions serious.

And Lingxi couldn't seem to do anything, she felt like a burden.

A few seconds later, sure enough, the silver-white body of that first-order monster was slamming into Bai Junqian's defense barrier at the speed of an arrow from the string.

"Uh. The three of them barely held on, but because they were too passive, if they attacked a few more times, they would definitely not be able to hold on.

"You two hold on, go out and fight it for the sake of the teacher!" Bai Junqian turned his head sideways and said to Xin and Shun.

As soon as he took a step, he turned his head sideways, this time it was Lingxi, and I saw him say: "Lingxi, stay by the side of the two senior brothers, they will protect you!"

After that, Bai Junqian rubbed his hand on Lingxi's head twice, revealing a warm smile to her.

Then, Lingxi saw Bai Junqian's figure quickly disappear into the white mist.

In just a few seconds, the sound of a violent fight was heard.

After about ten minutes, when Lingxi and the others were anxiously waiting, "You guys close your eyes!" Bai Junqian's voice suddenly came from all directions.

But Lingxi, they hurriedly followed his words and closed their eyes—

White light erupted in the air again, and the night-like barrier was instantly illuminated by the white light as day, or even more.

Even if they closed their eyes, they could feel the white light that could penetrate their eyelids strongly.

Then, after a few seconds, the feeling disappeared, and they slowly opened their eyes, and in front of them was-

The white fog has begun to dissipate rapidly, and the so-called night has turned back to day.

"Master! Obviously, the rescue was only a change in the environment, and the figures of the master and the first-order monster did not appear in the field of vision for the time being.

It wasn't until the white mist completely dissipated that Bai Junqian finally appeared, just like that, facing Lingxi, they stood in the distance, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

And the wolf was still alive, and dragged the bloodstained legs to get up, and after whining twice at this Bai Junqian, he seemed to think that Bai Junqian was a hard stubble, and actually ran away.

So what happened in these few seconds seems to be able to really be summed up in the sentence just now.

Lingxi and the others hurriedly ran in the direction of Bai Junqian, and everyone's faces were full of anxiety.

"Master, how are you?!" all three asked in unison. Then look left, right, and right. Especially Lingxi is very serious.

"It's okay to be a teacher!" Bai Junqian said in a very relaxed tone, ready to laugh.

But who knows, this smile has not completely appeared on Bai Junqian's face, he fell forward, the qi and blood on his face faded instantly, and what was left was a pale face.

Fortunately, Shun immediately helped him, but he was already unconscious.

So everyone found out the reason, the clothes behind Bai Junqian's body were already tattered, and his wound was even worse, with three sharp claw marks blurred in flesh and blood, the cloth was sticking to the blood and flowing slowly, and even a faint black gas.

But in fact, it is the evil qi of that first-order monster, when they attack others, they will carry evil qi with them, and the evil qi will infect others along with this attack.

It's like a weapon smeared with poison.

"Master...... You ......" Lingxi's voice trembled, and she couldn't suppress the feeling that her hands and feet couldn't move and were paralyzed, so she just let the tears keep flowing.

A different kind of despair arose in her heart.
