Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 461 - 457: Seizing the Blood Dragon Sword Heart
Li Qingyu knew Li Qingxue was insulting her, yet even so, her words still disturbed her mindset a bit, making her shake with anger for a moment.
The gazes from those around her added a subtle scrutiny.
Li Qingyu was even more enraged: "Do you all want to die? How dare you be distracted at such a time!"
Others withdrew their gaze, but a subtle seed was planted in their hearts.
The blood-red small flag kept fluttering, and the surrounding fog remained undispersed.
The prodigies from each family utilized their secret techniques, unleashing countless mystical treasures upon the blood-colored Sword Dragon.
Xia Feng couldn’t help clicking his tongue twice, somewhat distressed over the treasures.
However, their offensive did have some effect; the blood-colored Sword Dragon couldn’t catch anyone and was frantically attacked, its energy visibly wilting.
Xia Feng’s eyes slightly narrowed and he glanced at Xia Tianming, who immediately understood and stood by Li Qingxue.
Opposite them, Li Qingyu’s group was attacking the blood-colored Sword Dragon in the mist, unable to pay attention to Xia Feng’s side.
Who knows how many secret techniques they used, but the blood-colored Sword Dragon was eventually worn down to death.
After its death, a blood-red Blood Dragon Sword Heart suddenly bounced out.
Xia Feng’s eyes suddenly tightened, and he disappeared instantly.
Upon reappearing, the Blood Dragon Sword Heart was already in his hand.
Li Qingyu was almost furious, swinging the blood-red small flag frantically. The dense fog rapidly swept toward Xia Feng.
Li Qingyu gritted her teeth and said, "Wretch, that is my prize, and you dare to steal my belongings. Aren’t you afraid I will make you unable to leave this Secret Realm?"
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow and glanced at Li Qingyu, with a somewhat mocking subtlety in his expression.
"Oh, only you can bring people here to bully me, but I can’t intercept your prize?"
His smile widened slightly: "You should have realized that external backing is just background; in the Secret Realm, the strong reign supreme."
His gaze carried subtlety as he looked around at those people, smilingly stabbing them at the heart.
"Like you all, flattering her here, what benefits have you gained?"
"Why not strive for yourself? If you can truly obtain any treasure, it’s better than leaving empty-handed, right?"
After saying this, his expression became even more cryptic: "After all, the person you’re following, may not even survive to leave."
Opposite them, Li Qingyu sensed her comrades’ wavering mindset and was furious.
"Damned, you would actually believe his incitement?"
"I have so many treasures, do you think I will die here?"
Those around her did not speak, but a seed of discord was already planted.
Previously, to boost her cultivation, Li Qingyu absorbed every Sword Qi and Sword Heart from slain Sword Beasts.
Those who followed her did not even glean a scoop of the broth, so Xia Feng’s incitement was understandably irritating.
But Li Qingyu would not reflect on herself, only deeming Xia Feng vile for stealing her possessions and daring to speak grandly to influence others.
From her palm appeared a small sword, swiftly shooting towards Xia Feng.
Although called a small sword, it more resembled a flying dagger, seemingly piercing through the space ahead.
Xia Feng felt a strange sense of being targeted, frowned slightly, and swiftly slipped into the void.
This was not ordinary space travel but the Void Concealment technique he had previously mastered.
The small sword could indeed target enemies, yet when Xia Feng entered the void, it appeared aimless, circling the disappearance spot, seemingly searching for Xia Feng.
Li Qingyu was utterly furious, never expecting to suffer such a setback.
When her venomous gaze turned to Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming, Xia Tianming also took Li Qingxue into the void.
Li Qingyu’s body trembled slightly: "Damn wretch!"
"Anyone cultivating the Great Dao of Space, find them for me!"
While she was panicking, the two black Sword Dragons beside her inexplicably started showing signs of a blood-red aura.
As Li Qingyu prepared to search for Xia Feng and others, those two Sword Dragons transformed into blood-colored Sword Dragons, surrounding the group that killed their companion.
Li Qingyu’s face grew more ferocious, enraged enough to wish she could destroy the entire Holy Sword Secret Realm.
But handling the immediate trouble was more pressing, so she refocused and coldly commanded: "Continue the besiege."
"We’ve just taken one down; these two can also be broken individually."
"But this time, once the Sword Dragon dies, keep a close watch on the surrounding space, so those thieves won’t steal my prizes again!"
Meanwhile, the hated Xia Feng, Li Qingxue, and their company hid in the void.
Xia Feng unleashed the Spirit Light Flying Boat, and the trio entered, hiding once more.
He carefully examined the Blood Dragon Sword Heart and handed it to Li Qingxue: "You should absorb it."
Li Qingxue was astonished, shook her head repeatedly: "I don’t need such an item to boost my foundation. Absorbing other Sword Hearts can fill gaps."
"If I directly used the Blood Dragon Sword Heart for quick gains, absorbing ordinary Sword Hearts would become useless."
Xia Feng paused, his expression somewhat hesitant, knowing Li Qingxue’s meaning.
Xia Feng could no longer gain from absorbing ordinary Sword Hearts unless they searched for Second Grade Celestial God Realm Sword Beasts.
But those were hard to find and offered no immediate relief.
He couldn’t neglect such a Blood Dragon Sword Heart in pursuit of ordinary Sword Hearts.
Should Li Qingyu find a way to retrieve the Blood Dragon Sword Heart, it could be even worse.
Now Xia Feng viewed Li Qingyu’s attitude with more caution than before, initially thinking she was just another repair generation, relying on ancestral protection to bluff.
But having seen her use numerous treasures without worrying, Xia Feng was more wary of her.
Who knows if Li Qingyu had special treasures to steal it back?
Thus, Xia Feng hesitated only briefly before deciding to absorb the Blood Dragon Sword Heart himself.
