It turned out that Qin Yi turned into a snake and dodged the attack. He had already begun to apply transformation spells in actual combat.

Countless evil spirits gathered around Qin Yi. Qin Yi’s qi essence surged and dispersed the evil spirits. When he swung the stick, the opponent had already flipped backward lightly and landed on the top of the Buddhist temple behind.

Qin Yi was about to step up, but he was stunned for a moment.

“It’s… you?”

The opponent was wearing black clothes and black boots with a slim figure and a pretty face, but her face was pale and there was a black flame imprint on her forehead.

It was the woman in the ancient corpse’s cave house.

“It’s me.” The woman smiled cutely as if she didn’t hate him about setting her up. “I thought you were waiting for me. Fall in love with me? Senior Sister Ming He will be sad…”

Qin Yi was speechless.

He just heard the words Myriad Shinra Sect when the two monks were talking. He was a bit sensitive to this term, so he was extra cautious.

From the tone of the monk, Myriad Shinra Sect and this Temple Great Joy had a certain relationship, probably allies. Therefore, when Jing Ze caused trouble for Jing Kong and others, they did not do anything to him due to the protection of the Myriad Shinra Sect.

Since Myriad Shinra Sect may be their ally, they might help the monks. Especially since he has offended this sect, and his appearance might have been known by the sect members, it was highly possible that they would take action.

This sect had bizarre means. Qin Yi didn’t want to wait for them to ambush him when his guard was down, so he might as well act weak to bait the sneak attack.

He calculated so much, but he didn’t account for this Shadow Demon girl.

Ming He’s judgment is never accurate. She said that it would take a year and a half for this girl to recover. Isn’t she recovered now? Responds to the stars, senses the secrets of heaven? Just let me hug you honestly…

Although he thought so in his mind, he still replied, “It’s been three months, and Miss is still pretty as usual.”

“Hee…” The woman smiled, “Who is prettier, me or Ming He?”

In fact, this woman was indeed very pretty. Her facial features and figure were not inferior to Ming He, and the imprint on her forehead added a unique charm, but she exuded a ghastly aura. Although she smiled sweetly at Qin Yi, he could still see the cruelty hidden deep in her.

It’s useless no matter how pretty it is. You’re not my type.

Of course, he would not say this verbally. He just said, “Both are pretty in different ways.”

The woman chuckled and said, “Then I still lost. Mr. Qin rode Ming He under you. It stands to reason that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a mistress. If we are both pretty, Mr. Qin should like her more…”

Jing Kong and others in the monastery below were dumbfounded.

They were not mortals who didn’t know who Ming He was. They were the outer door of Temple Great Joy and were most interested in these gossips. They had long heard from the inner door seniors that if they could spend the night with Ming He, they would rather give up immortality.

Of course, Temple Great Joy did not dare to offend Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace easily, so no one dared to really mess with Ming He. Even if they dared, they might not know Ming He’s whereabouts.

Some people had ranked the list of stunning fairies. Although everyone had different aesthetics, and most people had never had the opportunity to see real faces, the rankings had been randomly ranked, and there had never been a conclusion; but no matter which rankings, Ming He basically ranked among the top three. Most of the time she ranked top one.

From the conversations, this man rode Ming He under him?

The slight fear in the eyes of Jing Kong and others was almost gone, replaced by anger and jealousy.

Qin Yi didn’t know what these people were thinking. He was still arguing with the woman, “Yes, yes. Actually, I should like Miss more, but I don’t even know your name. This kind of liking is too unreal for me.”

“My name…my name is Meng Qingying.” The woman said with a smile, but her words turned cold inadvertently, “Don’t forget it even in the afterlife.”

Countless shadows emerged from the walls at her feet. There were the shadows of the glazed tiles on the wall reflected in the sun, the shadows of the peach trees in the temple, and the shadows of the vines beside the wall. They all rose from the ground and grabbed Qin Yi like ghost claws.

A silent attack launched by the shadows. The lady’s name sounded elegant, but her means were cold and cruel.

But just when she announced her name, Qin Yi seemed to have sensed it and was already flying into the sky.

Qi essence burst out unbridled, crushing the courtyard wall into powder. Those shadows without their source didn’t disperse.

Qin Yi ignored the shadows behind him, jumped several meters, and smashed the mace toward Meng Qingying.

Meng Qingying smiled slightly, and there was already a small black shuttle in her hand.

The black shuttle spun and released thousands of black threads.

These threads weren’t real entities but shadows. It was like the prison of the underworld, trapping Qin Yi in the middle.

As the Buddha’s chant sounded behind him, several Buddha lights actually converged and struck Qin Yi’s back with power several times greater than before.

Qin Yi took a deep breath, and a soft light suddenly appeared around him. The shadow prison and the powerful Buddha’s light behind him were all isolated by this light.

At the same time, the mace struck the air.

A violent qi essence burst out of the air and blasted toward Meng Qingying, who was several meters away.

Meng Qingying’s pupils shrank slightly. She blinked out and appeared under the shadow of the peach blossom far away.

Shadow Escape.

“True qi forming essence… When I saw your qi essence overflowing, I thought you were touching the elementary level. I didn’t expect you to be already at the Muscle Alteration Stage with condensed qi essence.” Meng Qingying said solemnly.

Muscle Alteration Stage martial is the same as my Piano Heart Stage. Although I’m several levels higher than him, the actual martial arts cultivation is stronger than immortal cultivation. Qin Yi also has tao spells and powerful enchanted weapon… I don’t know what that soft light is, but I think it can even withstand a blow of the Cloud Riding Stage.

This is troublesome. Three months ago, he was no match against my Shadow Puppet. How did he suddenly become so strong? This kind of comprehensive ability is the core of any major sect, but he looks just to be seventeen years old.

Qin Yi didn’t answer her words. As she was speaking, he stopped for a moment, then a fierce mace whistled toward Meng Qingying’s head like a bullet.

He really didn’t dare to underestimate the enemy.

Even though the monks kept attacking from behind, he just blocked with qi essence. He would rather take some minor injuries than dodge because he was afraid that he would fall into the tricks of this girl’s shadow skills once she pulled the distance.

Meng Qingying quickly channeled the shuttle, and the underworld aura surged and blocked Qin Yi’s burst of qi essence. Once they were separated by half a step apart, Meng Qingying said helplessly, “Those monks are chasing you non-stop, but why are you ignoring them and keeping chasing me?”

Qin Yi answered seriously, “I can lose the team fight, but Shadow Demon must die.”

TL: Kill the highest combat power, and the rest would run on their own…
