My Purple Thunder Profound Moon Saber couldnât break through even the smallest silver lightning and was caught in a stalemate.
However, she wasnât too worried in her heart.
She was aware that Qi Chuan probably had many techniques he hadnât revealed yet. The three of them were only in a stalemate because of this. If he unleashed all his methods, this Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope should be manageable. However, with outsiders around, itâs standard to hold back a little.
She could only speculate that Qi Chuan was holding something back, yet she did not know exactly how much strength he had hidden.
It had been several years since Qi Chuan last made a move and killed Qi Shang.
As for the earlier Three-Colored Profound Python, it was obviously not a strong enemy for Qi Chuan, who could easily take it down; thus, he didnât display much of his strength.
Qi Chuan glanced around.
Thanks to attracting the innate divine techniques hatred of the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope to himself, Yun Qingyue and Xi Hongyi were able to perform their techniques normally, thus providing assistance. This beastâs innate divine techniques were strong, but it was clearly incapable of area attacks and could only lock onto one person.
This way, Qi Chuan wasnât significantly affected by its innate divine techniques, and Xi Hongyi and Yun Qingyue could engage in magical combat as usual. Normally, this meant defeat was certain for the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope.
This was practically a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, with a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and an Early Stage person, hunting this Tier Two Middle Grade top-tier demon beast. Itâs just that Qi Chuanâs mana didnât quite match a true Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Seeing that the magical combat had reached a stalemate, the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope seemed to sense something was amiss.
It glanced in Qi Chuanâs direction, a hint of apprehension flashing in its demon eyes, realizing that he wasnât afraid of its innate divine techniques.
Continuing to drag this on would be disadvantageous for it as well.
A thought flickered, and the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope moved its four hooves, instantly transforming into a snow-white streak heading towards the gray mist behind it.
"Itâs actually running away?" Seeing this, Xi Hongyi was stunned, a bit surprised.
Yun Qingyue also hadnât expected that the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope actually recognized its disadvantage and chose to retreat.
"Chase it!" Qi Chuan said, immediately taking the lead, turning into a light rainbow, following the snow-white shadow within the gray mist.
Hearing this, Xi Hongyi and Yun Qingyue didnât hesitate, and likewise followed Qi Chuan, transforming into light rainbows and rapidly pursuing.
"You can actually ignore the influence of the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope?" During the pursuit, Xi Hongyi whispered to Qi Chuan.
The beastâs innate divine techniques were triggered by its eyes, leaving no traces, so she hadnât known whether or not this beast had used its innate divine techniques before.
However, since the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope was retreating, it was clearly due to being outmatched; its innate divine techniques probably had been used. Yet she hadnât observed any dimming or abnormality in the deep blue sword beam Qi Chuan unleashed previously...
Yun Qingyue also nodded slightly, speculating the same, but being familiar with Qi Chuanâs strength, she wasnât too shocked by his methods.
Qi Chuan didnât offer an explanation to Xi Hongyiâs words.
However, at this moment, the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope in front seemed to think that being chased by the three continuously wasnât a solution either, stopping its snow-white body amidst the gray mist, standing atop a rocky cliff, its pair of eyes fixed on the three, halting their pursuit.
In the next instant, the ancient lightning patterns on its headâs silver horn lit up again, immediately unleashing three gigantic silver lightning bolts, tearing through the void, heading towards the trio.
Simultaneously, its pair of eyes seemed to emit an invisible light, seemingly unleashing its innate divine techniques at that moment.
Qi Chuan and the others immediately prepared to respond.
Yun Qingyue wielded her Purple Thunder Profound Moon Saber once more, while Qi Chuan prepared to activate the Fallen Cold Sword again.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, however, Qi Chuan felt something strange, turning to look at Xi Hongyi not far away.
"Is its target...me?"
Right then, Xi Hongyi looked up to see the largest of the giant silver lightning bolts heading straight for her. As she raised her head, her eyes locked with the eerie demon eyes of the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope, her Divine Soul at her brow quivering, and all sorts of thoughts seemed to slow and become challenging to process.
An overwhelming panic accompanied by the fear of death rose within her heart.
At this moment, she wished to wield a spiritual artifact to resist the silver lightning from the other side, but was momentarily unable to do so.
Although this state wouldnât last long, by the time the effects of the creatureâs innate divine techniques wore off, she would likely be nothing but bones!
"Save me...," Xi Hongyi struggled to speak, pleading to Qi Chuan and the others for help.
Yet due to the stagnation of her Divine Soul, her words were slurred, and it sounded almost like a child whining to an adult.
"This Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope, is it really that cunning, knowing to eliminate one first, then dealing with the rest easier?"
Seeing this, Yun Qingyueâs expression was one of surprise.
If Xi Hongyi were to be dealt with first, it would indeed be more difficult for Qi Chuan and herself to take on this beast.
However, since her Purple Thunder Profound Moon Saber was entangled with a silver lightning bolt, she couldnât help Xi Hongyi.
Plus, with her strength, she couldnât manage it.
Only Qi Chuan could possibly help.
"It seems to be quite intelligent." Qi Chuan thought to himself as he watched the scene unfold.
Xi Hongyi hadnât done anything wrong in this cooperation, and he had no reason to watch her fall.
Thus, he fully mobilized the mana within his Dantian, driving the Fallen Cold Sword to strike out, its speed suddenly accelerating. Initially targeted at the silver lightning in front of him, the Fallen Cold Sword shifted a bit, slashing obliquely at the huge silver lightning coming at Xi Hongyi.
This left the silver lightning before Qi Chuan coming straight at him, seemingly leaving him exposed.
"Isnât this a bit too risky?"
Seeing this, Yun Qingyue couldnât help but worry for Qi Chuan.
She guessed Qi Chuan might act to rescue, but she hadnât expected him to send his strongest spiritual artifact for the rescue. This left him in potential danger, as the silver lightning in front of Qi Chuan carried significant power and wasnât easy to fend off.
Boom!
In the next moment, three dazzling bursts of light erupted in the void, reverberating loudly across the cliffs.
The three silver lightning bolts unleashed by the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope were all blocked.
Yun Qingyueâs Purple Thunder Profound Moon Saber blocked one.
In front of Xi Hongyi, Qi Chuanâs Fallen Cold Sword withstood the largest silver lightning bolt.
However, to Yun Qingyueâs surprise, the silver lightning in front of Qi Chuan was similarly blocked.
And what blocked that lightning was also... a deep blue sword beam!
"Qi Chuan has two equally powerful spiritual artifacts?" Witnessing this, Yun Qingyue was quite surprised.
Xi Hongyiâs body trembled violently, her Divine Soul at her brow shuddering, and her thoughts flowed back to normal, recovering from the innate divine techniques of the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope.
Looking at the void in front of her, where the deep blue sword beam met the largest silver thunderbolt, the aftermath rippling, a sense of horror swept through her heart.
She had almost died earlier...
Luckily Qi Chuan came to her rescue...
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized and turned to look towards Qi Chuan, intending to wield her spiritual artifact, but in the next moment, her expression froze.
Because she clearly saw in the void in front of Qi Chuan, there was also a deep blue sword beam, blocking that silver lightning.
"He can perform such strong techniques consecutively?" Her inner self was filled with the same surprise as Yun Qingyue.
Bam!
However, at this moment, the deep blue sword beam in the void in front of Qi Chuan shattered after holding on for a moment, dispersing into countless blue sparks.
The silver lightning, carrying tremendous power, barreled towards Qi Chuanâs position.
Taking advantage of the moment, Qi Chuanâs body flickered, dodging aside.
Qi Chuan looked up towards the retreating Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope, sensing the situation had changed again.
The sword beam he had just evoked was merely a part of the Sword Gang Division Divine Techniques, sufficient to resolve a temporary crisis.
Should this chase continue, the Silver-Horned Demon Eye Antelope likely couldnât avoid its fate of death.
Nevertheless, letting it escape might result in the Clear Wind Moon Grass getting trampled or caught in the residual effects of the magical combat.
Upon this realization, Qi Chuanâs Divine Soul at his brow suddenly moved, and in the next instant, an invisible light shot out from his brow, directed at the snow-white shadow retreating in the gray mist ahead.
