“…” Girl, is this really the right time to say this?
Mu Qihan's face darkened.
Although Xie Zhenkai was teasing with his words, he didn't let his guard down.
With a wave of his hand, the people on the bamboo rafts on both sides quickly sprang into action. Each of them threw out an extremely thin thread, encircling the two of them.
Nan Chaoyu was a bit surprised. “Could this thing be the Endless Threads? They're really overestimating us!”
This Endless Threads was originally used to forge armor. The armor woven with it was invulnerable to swords and guns, and impervious to water and fire. It was a great treasure for self - defense.
But somehow, someone discovered that it was also very good for binding people.
Even divine weapons could hardly cut it easily!
However, there was nothing her Mysterious Ice Sword couldn't cut.
Thinking of this, she lashed out her whip towards the bamboo raft on the left.
At the same time, Mu Qihan also moved.
One above and the other below, the Death Soul Bone Fan swept across, bringing up a spray of blood.
The whip coiled around, and the person fell into the water.
Their cooperation was seamless and decisive.
They both landed on the bamboo raft.
The enemy's formation was disrupted. After a moment of panic, the bamboo rafts quickly distanced themselves, surrounding the two in the middle.
The net woven by the Endless Threads was coming down towards them.
If they were caught under it, they would surely end up in the water.
The whip flew out and lashed hard at the net.
But after just a moment, the soft whip was twisted into pieces and fell.
Nan Chaoyu's expression turned cold. A surge of spiritual energy rushed out from her hands. She tapped her toes and rushed towards the large net!
“You're really overestimating yourself!”
Xie Zhenkai watched the two in the lake. A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
The Endless Threads had cost the Xie family a fortune. If one could resist it with just their flesh and blood, then who would want this thing?
Nan Chaoyu ignored him as if she hadn't heard.
Just as they were about to be hit, Mu Qihan moved.
The Death Soul Bone Fan resisted the Endless Threads before Nan Chaoyu, giving her some breathing space.
Xie Zhenkai's face changed. He shouted, “Put more strength into it!”
The Endless Threads were extremely tough. If a cultivator used them and infused them with spiritual energy, they would be even more powerful.
But Mu Qihan's Death Soul Bone Fan was also surprisingly resistant. The two powerful weapons were at a stalemate in mid - air.
Nan Chaoyu landed on the bamboo raft. Looking back at this scene, she blurted out, “Your fan is really sturdy!”
“… Hurry up and get into the water and leave.” Mu Qihan had no time to bicker with her. He knew best how long the Death Soul Bone Fan could hold on.
This was just a stopgap measure!
“Protect yourself with spiritual energy and dive underwater to leave.”
The water in the Spiritual Lake was full of spiritual energy. Before becoming a spiritualist, if one soaked in this lake, there was a risk of being exploded by the spiritual energy.
“Want to leave? You'll have to see if I agree.”
Xie Zhenkai sneered coldly. Suddenly, the water under the lake began to stir.
The Death Soul Bone Fan above also made a creaking sound, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.
Nan Chaoyu's expression gradually turned cold. She put away her casual attitude.
She shouted, “Come, sword!”
The Mysterious Ice Sword, which had just disappeared, burst out of the water and hacked at the net, sparks flying everywhere!
“Nan Chaoyu, I've already said that the Endless Threads are not easy to deal with. Your broken sword is useless now, isn't it?”
Xie Zhenkai's voice was full of mockery. His eyes on Nan Chaoyu became even more fiery.
Thinking of his son, who had been crippled by her and was still bedridden, he wished he could go in and capture her himself.
Nan Chaoyu turned her head. Her cold and fierce gaze shot towards Xie Zhenkai. “It seems you haven't learned your lesson yet!”
This look made Xie Zhenkai feel an inexplicable chill in his heart, as if he was back when he was being pointed at by a sword.
But when he came to his senses, the broken sword was still hacking at the net.
Gradually, he gained some confidence and provoked back, “Nan Chaoyu, I've told you not to be too arrogant, or you won't even know how you die!”
“When you pointed your sword at me back then, you didn't expect this day, did you? You… Uh!”
His arrogant words suddenly stopped.
Xie Zhenkai's eyes were wide open, as if in disbelief. He reached out to grab his throat and gurgled a few times.
The whole person fell backwards uncontrollably.
“Plop!”
The head of the Xie family, who had been domineering in Dream Sea City, was hit by a hidden weapon like this!
He was dead!
It was only after the man fell into the water that Nan Chaoyu still hadn't fully recovered. She looked back.
Mu Qihan still had that calm expression on his face. He rubbed his fingertips. When he saw her looking over, he said nonchalantly, “He was too noisy!”
“…” Nan Chaoyu seriously suspected that he did it because Xie Zhenkai said he was useless.
“Be careful.”
Xie Zhenkai was dead. The people on the opposite side were only panicked for a moment and then quickly regained their composure. The Endless Threads were pressing down lower and lower, about to cover the two of them.
The water under their feet was boiling, and the bamboo raft was shaking uncontrollably.
Mu Qihan put his arm around Nan Chaoyu. “Call your sword back. We'll break out.”
The Mysterious Ice Sword was a rare and powerful weapon, and the sword that had recognized its master was even rarer.
Only in the hands of its master could it exert its greatest power.
Nan Chaoyu looked at the Mysterious Ice Sword, which seemed to be just tickling the Endless Threads. Her face darkened.
This damned sword must be taking revenge on her for stepping on it just now!
She couldn't bear it any longer and scolded, “You useless sword can't even cut through a net. What's the use of you?”
As if it could understand, the Mysterious Ice Sword let out a soft moan and directly drilled down from the top, landing in front of Nan Chaoyu.
It bounced twice as if refuting Nan Chaoyu's words!
Nan Chaoyu grabbed the hilt and infused spiritual energy into it.
With one sword strike, she didn't aim at the Endless Threads but at the person in charge of the formation!
“Ah~”
The formation immediately showed a gap.
“Now!”
At the same time, Mu Qihan put one arm around Nan Chaoyu and grabbed the Death Soul Bone Fan with the other. He leaped up.
They jumped out of the range of the Endless Threads.
“We're quite a good team, aren't we?”
Mu Qihan had developed some resistance to this girl's words by now. He ignored her and directly threw the fan on the water as a foothold.
“Tsk tsk, your fan is really versatile!”
“…”
The two jumped out. Nan Chaoyu held her sword horizontally. Her eyes looking at those people became dangerous.
They thought they could get away unscathed after provoking her? It was just a dream!
Strangely enough, the people on the bamboo rafts didn't seem to want to chase after the two escaped.
They quickly put away the Endless Threads. Before Nan Chaoyu could take revenge, they disappeared without a trace.
They vanished into the thick fog!
This… was embarrassing!
Nan Chaoyu touched her nose and shook her head. “The people of the Xie family are so timid. But they're quite something… Be careful.”
A ghostly shadow emerged from the thick fog and rushed straight towards Mu Qihan's back.
At this moment, Nan Chaoyu's heart seemed to jump out of her chest. The feeling of destruction instantly swept through her whole body.
Her mind went blank. Without thinking, she directly pushed Mu Qihan away and stepped forward to meet the attack.
