105: Chapter 101: Eight Hundred Miles of Qing River_1 105: Chapter 101: Eight Hundred Miles of Qing River_1 The brilliant light dissipated, leaving a pit at least thirty feet deep in its place.
From within the pit, Bai Lian slowly stood up.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
She coughed, looking up to the sky, “If it weren’t for this robe, Old Mother would have been done for.”
The black robe she wore was clearly a rare Magic Artifact, shielding her from the attack just now.
But it was already in tatters at this point, occasionally revealing patches of her snowy white skin.
In Bai Lian’s line of sight, a figure wearing the distinctive red and black robe of the Procuratorate, descended slowly from the night sky.
His face was gaunt, with a three-inch thin beard, and even his voice was lean, but his overall presence felt like a tangible force.
“To react in ti to my Incandescent Explosion, you’re really sothing.
I am curious…
who was that person you sent away just now.”
His tone shifted suddenly, as he burst forward toward the direction Jiang Wang had fled!
White flas burst into existence, Bai Lian took off from the ground, intercepting the Procuratorate expert at an unbelievably fast pace.
Cold white flas blood like flowers, tearing through the night.
But!
The Procuratorate expert’s form flickered, and he had already moved past the Fla of the Flower, pressing close in front of Bai Lian.
The two were nearly touching in the air, with their bodies half overlapping.
He reached out, pressing a cluster of incandescent light onto Bai Lian’s abdon.
And pushed her straight down toward the ground!
He had been prepared all along!
Or rather, his sudden switch to pursue Jiang Wang was part of his tactics all along.
Boom!
An intense sphere of light pinned Bai Lian’s soft body as it fell, once again smashing a large hole in the ground.
“Cough, cough!”
As the dust settled, Bai Lian stood up from the pit once more.
The fresh blood she coughed out had already soaked through her black face mask.
“Damn you, Ji Xuan, always resorting to trickery.
Deserve to be a dog all your life!”
There was an obvious wound on her abdon, which healed slowly amidst the burning white flas.
The person who appeared in the sky was none other than Ji Xuan, the third-ranked figure in the entire Procuratorate, the Chief of Qinghe County Procuratorate, a peak Inner Mansion Realm expert!
Unperturbed by the cursing, Ji Xuan retorted, “Knowing it’s , and you still dare to resist?”
Bai Lian suddenly laughed flirtatiously, “Although Chief Ji is powerful, he doesn’t understand a woman’s heart.
You ripped off a girl’s clothes as soon as you approached, which girl wouldn’t resist?”
Her voice was dreamlike, as if weaving a beautiful fantasy in a whisper, subtly enveloping Ji Xuan.
Almost simultaneously, with Bai Lian at the center, intense white lights intersected in all directions, covering every position within a radius of thirty feet!
Enchanting Dream Sound, Fierce Light Execution.
Bai Lian used the conversation as a trigger, Ji Xuan used dialogue to prepare.
The two top-grade Dao Techniques erupted almost at the sa ti.
Although Bai Lian dashed out of the range of the Fierce Light Execution at the first mont, the white flas on her body had clearly thinned out and could no longer cover her entire body.
The gap in strength was evident, especially since Bai Lian was already injured.
But the direction she charged toward…
was Ji Xuan!
The Enchanting Dream Sound couldn’t wipe out the spirit of a powerhouse like Ji Xuan, but she only needed an opportunity.
If she could disrupt Ji Xuan for just three breaths, she would have a chance to turn the tide of the battle tonight!
A Flower of Fla blood in front of her jade-like palm, pressing toward Ji Xuan’s abdon.
She was, of course, a woman who held grudges.
Bang!
Bai Lian suddenly collided with sothing, disorienting her completely.
It was only then that she saw a series of white light threads interweaving into a square cage right in front of Ji Xuan, trapping Bai Lian inside!
The white light was like a wall, the white light a cage.
Obviously, Ji Xuan had prepared for Bai Lian’s Enchanting Dream Sound.
The ti he was dazed might have been less than a single breath, yet he had waited for Bai Lian to draw near before suddenly erupting.
Overpowering.
Complete and utter overpowering.
From beginning to end, Ji Xuan controlled the entire battlefield.
He had never intended to kill Bai Lian; his purpose was to capture her alive.
In the cage of light, Bai Lian ford another Fla of Flower but did not attempt to break through the barrier of light.
Instead, without any hesitation, she pressed it towards her own Heavenly Spirit.
In the first mont of being trapped in the cage of light, she realized Ji Xuan’s intention.
And so, at the first opportunity, she delivered her own answer!
This move undoubtedly caught Ji Xuan by surprise as he was quite interested in Bai Lian and the entire organization backing her.
Otherwise, why would he, with his authority over the entire Procuratorate of Qinghe County, personally make a move tonight?
The death of Bai Lian, of course, entailed no loss for him.
But it also ant that he would surely miss out on all potential gains thereafter.
Decisive as Ji Xuan, he imdiately dispersed the cage of light, moved in close to Bai Lian, his hand surrounded by white light, reaching for the white Fla of Flower.
The white Fla of Flower turned and blasted towards Ji Xuan’s head.
Bai Lian’s attack on her own Heavenly Spirit was a genuine suicide attempt, which otherwise would not have deceived Ji Xuan.
However, as soon as Ji Xuan tried to stop her suicide, she imdiately reversed her move to an attack.
She was not afraid to die, but she did not wish to die.
Ji Xuan’s hand wrapped in white light crossed in front of his forehead, just in ti to block the white Fla of Flower.
His other hand clenched into a fist and brutally hamred into Bai Lian’s abdon!
For soone like Ji Xuan, even if he wanted to capture his opponent alive, he would never give the opponent an opportunity.
Capturing alive was the goal, but only just a goal.
He aid to achieve it as much as possible, but it was not a must.
He was already enraged, and he threw his punch without holding back.
Bai Lian curled up in the air like a shrimp, her entire being blown away!
The white fla on her body extinguished abruptly, just like the flickering fla of her life, tottering on the brink.
Ji Xuan was about to chase after her through the air.
Suddenly, boom!
Rumbling thunder!
Great waves emptied the sky, like the rolling of war drums.
The expansive surface of Qing River seed to surge forth.
Qing River was shaking!
A titanic wave soared into the sky, and standing on top of this wave was an old man clad in magnificent regalia.
“Ji Xuan, head of the Procuratorate in charge of all transcendental cases in Qinghe County, what brings you to Qing River for a stroll?”
He was nearly breathless as he spoke, and yet his voice, clearer than the waves emptying the sky and the surging tide’s roar, entered Ji Xuan’s ears with precision.
The old man standing atop the wave was noticeably stooped.
His face was lined with wrinkles, and age spots that could not be concealed.
He seed very old.
But who would dare to overlook him?
Who could possibly ignore the master of eight hundred li of Qing River, Song Hengjiang!
…
Almost imdiately, Ji Xuan reined in his aura, hovering in midair, slightly bowing: “Your Excellency, as I patrolled Qinghe County at night, I inadvertently discovered a demon lurking in this vicinity.
As the head of the Procuratorate, granted authority by the Monarch, with the lives of the people hanging in the balance, I dare not be negligent!
To prevent this demon from harming your Excellency’s subjects, I had to take action out of urgency.
The situation was critical, and I was unable to seek your Excellency’s consent in advance.
Please forgive .”
His words were seamless.
They conveyed humility but also hinted at dependence.
He also offered Song Hengjiang a way out.
As a high-ranking official in the Procuratorate, commanding the entire Procuratorate of Qinghe County, his status was not below that of the Prefectural Governor.
But at this mont, he still had to bow his head.
He understood.
Since Song Hengjiang had personally appeared tonight, an explanation was necessary.
He also felt that, given his current status and the present situation between the Human Race and the Water Race, this gesture should be enough.
But Song Hengjiang just used his cloudy eyes to glance at him lightly, very lightly.
And then the old man’s lips slightly curled into a smile.
With that smile,
The twilight faded away, and a bold arrogance erged!
“Zhuang Chenggan’s descendant is getting more and more audacious.
Fighting to the death under my very nose!”
He placed his hands behind his back, “In consideration of Zhuang Chenggan, you may slap yourself ten tis and then leave.”
