The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 828 - 457: Unsealing
Qing Ji and his group also noticed the anomaly of the Beauty Collection Team, and everyone hurriedly took out elixirs from their pockets and swallowed them. Although the Green Armor Army was far away from the campfire, as the elite within the Green Armor Army, they were never without high-grade antidotes and miasma-clearing medicines. At this time, there were skilled people beside Qing Ji who recognized the special properties of this medicine, so they took out more than a dozen small, dried and dehydrated vines, letting everyone chew them.
The vines probably contained alkaloids or similar substances, which tasted like chewing on a tablecloth when eaten. But immediately, their blood pulsed through their bodies, heat surged, and they felt invigorated. In this way, even if they inhaled a small amount of poison powder while tending the fire, the medicinal properties would neutralize it.
Of course, this was a solution by counteracting poison with poison, which still caused some damage to the body. But everyone understood the principle of adapting methods depending on the urgency.
At this moment, Zhongli Hao also saw Qing Ji appear, his eyes brightened, and he shouted loudly, "Young Master Qingji, please help us!" As the Flower-picking Envoy, he hadn’t taken action, the poison hadn’t taken effect, and his mind remained clear. Throughout the journey, the Beauty Collection Team had flattered the Eldest Young Master of Fengtian Prefecture with good food and drink. They even gifted him a pair of twin beauties, one of whom had the rare Inner Charm Physique. Now, it was unreasonable not to lend a hand when he’d already enjoyed all the benefits.
Qing Ji realized it was time for him to assist, so he nodded, and more than a dozen Green Armor Army soldiers joined the battle in front of them.
The combat power of the Green Armor Army was indeed higher than that of the people from both sides in the field, and their entry quickly balanced the almost one-sided battle. Nevertheless, the Green Armor Army was few in number, and the group of mysterious enemies across them were agile in hand and foot, and the quality of their magic artifacts was quite good, not like ordinary robbers blocking the way. After the Green Armor Army knocked down two people, the remaining enemies immediately became difficult to handle and were unwilling to fight to the death.
The guards of the Beauty Collection Team, after being poisoned by Jiu Mo, saw their fighting power almost collapse.
Qing Ji surveyed the battlefield with his Divine Thought, not forgetting to feed Spiritual Medicine into the mouth of the woman in his arms. But Ning Xiaoxian desperately shook her head, and he couldn’t get the herb into her mouth no matter how. Helpless, Qing Ji turned her body to face himself, grabbed her chin, and forced her to open her mouth, successfully feeding the medicine. He saw the fury rising in her Mo Yu eyes; if looks could kill, he’d be dead countless times. But the angrier she stared at him, the more he liked her, unable to resist strongly pulling her arm, drawing her tightly to himself.
She suddenly fell into his arms, her delicate figure so graceful and soft to the touch that it distracted Qing Ji’s mind. Unexpectedly, this little figure suddenly twisted her waist fiercely, swinging out a whip-like move, kicking him hard in his legs!
She didn’t know how long she’d stored up strength to unleash such a spicy and fierce move, quick enough that neither Qing Ji nor the Green Armor Guards beside him could react before it hit the target.
A faint Red Light emanated from Qing Ji’s body, evidently caused by the protective magic tool being activated by such a hostile maneuver. She was now restrained, her strength only that of an ordinary mortal woman, yet she forced the activation of his protective magic tool, showing the power behind that kick was truly beyond normal standards.
"I should break your leg," Qing Ji said with a dark face, disregarding the frightened shouts of "Young Master" from the Green Armor Guards beside him. His feelings for this woman, though perhaps unclear even to himself, did not mean he was willing to let her threaten his safety. When she was being molested just now, she never lifted a leg to kick him, letting him forget how explosive her legs were. It turned out she intended to ambush him now.
Ning Xiaoxian finally struggled desperately, like a fish thrown ashore. As Qing Ji held her shoulder, he caught a very faint and pleasant scent from her, not overpowering but very appealing.
He was about to say something when a sudden chill struck him. Soon, his Protective Gang Qi was pierced through, and the Qi Shields formed by several protective magic tools broke one after another, glittering and vanishing gorgeously.
He instantly changed color, looking down to see Ning Xiaoxian holding a pale dagger aimed directly at him. Her hand trembled violently, barely able to hold the weapon, almost seeming like the dagger adhered to her hand and pushed forward on its own.
Furthermore, this thing must be extremely sinister; otherwise, how could she wield such a weapon with no strength to threaten his heart? How could she consecutively break through the three protective shields on him?
