Cold sweat trickled down Xu Chengan's forehead as he stared at Qi Long who was glaring at him.
Although he was at the peak of the Innate Divinity Palace level, he was only in charge of some chores in the Xu Family and hadn't fought anyone for several years.
Even his cultivation was mostly accumulated by the pills given by the Xu Family. Facing Qi Long, a ferocious arrester of Six Fan School, he did not have the slightest confidence in defeating him.
Looking at Xu Chengan's appearance, Qi Long shook his head and sighed, "Tsk tsk, why bother? Just give up and follow me back to Six Doors School. You can suffer less, isn't that good?"
Xu Chengan turned around and looked at Xu Chen, then suddenly shouted, "Run!"
As soon as his voice faded, he had already rushed out and slammed his palm at Qi Long. Immediately, a blue Earth Energy howled and blew the dust in the ruined temple into the sky, obscuring Qi Long's vision.
In fact, Xu Chengan was using a saber, but he was in such a hurry when he fled that he didn't even dare to go back to retrieve his weapon.
Of course, even with a weapon, he wasn't sure he could defeat Qi Long. He only hoped that he could delay for a little longer.
Looking at Xu Chengan who was charging forward without fear of death, Xu Chen's eyes revealed a hint of struggle. However, he still turned around and fled, directly smashing the walls of the ruined temple to escape.
Although everything in front of him was covered in dust, Qi Long could still sense that Xu Chen had escaped.
He couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile and said, "Is this the Young Master you're risking your life to protect? Tsk tsk, what a joke. You risked your life here, but he ran away without hesitation. Are you sad now? "
Xu Chengan didn't answer, but a gratified smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The reason he risked his life was to let Xu Chen escape.
If Xu Chen had hesitated and insisted on staying here to die with him, he would have been disappointed.
Now that Xu Chen was so decisive, it was a necessary condition for him to become a strong expert. In the future, Xu Chen would have more hope of rebuilding the Xu Family.
Seeing that Xu Chengan didn't answer, Qi Long coldly snorted and unsheathed the long blade hanging from his waist. Suddenly, a blood-red light flashed and dyed the entire shabby temple red.
The long saber in Qi Long's hand was a slender Willow Leaf Miaodao. The body of the saber seemed to be forged with fresh blood. It was extremely terrifying and somewhat similar to Su Xin's Flying Blood Sword.
However, the moment he unsheathed his long saber, there was an evil spirit wailing within the bloody light. It was incomparably evil.
When the saber descended, Xu Cheng'an's palm was shattered. His entire body was sent flying by the saber, and he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Qi Long sneered. Black Demonic Qi filled the blade. Blood Qi and Demonic Qi intertwined, revealing an evil colour.
If Su Xin was here, he would definitely be able to see that Qi Long's martial arts actually had traces of the old Blood Demon Sect's techniques.
In the past, Ji Yancheng's subordinate Nan Gongyuan, who was killed by Su Xin, had accidentally obtained an incomplete version of the Blood Demon Sect's techniques. This Qi Long should also have obtained such a thing.
However, what he obtained couldn't even be considered an incomplete version. It could only be regarded as an incomplete technique.
"You don't know what's good for you. Since that's the case, then go to hell!"
As the saber descended, the Blood Demon's phantom appeared in an instant. It roared unceasingly, shocking everyone.
There was no longer any fear in Xu Cheng'an's eyes. He directly coughed up a mouthful of blood and ignited his Blood Essence. His fist momentum was like a dragon. Each punch was accompanied by a dragon's roar, suppressing Qi Long's saber momentum.
Qi Long coldly snorted and said, "Igniting your Blood Essence? Let's see how long you can last! "
The power brought about by igniting his Blood Essence was indeed frighteningly powerful. Even with Qi Long's strength, he couldn't kill Xu Cheng'an in a short time.
He wasn't worried that Xu Cheng'an would run away. How fast could a martial artist who had just reached the Innate Heaven Sea Realm be? Even if Xu Cheng ran for an hour, Qi Long would still be able to catch up.
However, Qi Long was worried that Xu Cheng would be found by the other constables of Six Doors first.
Although Tie Shi had said that he wanted both Xu Cheng'an and Xu Cheng's lives, as the young master of the Xu family, Xu Cheng's life was definitely more valuable than Xu Cheng'an's.
Qi Long was unable to break through Xu Cheng'an's offensive for a while, but he could already gradually feel Xu Cheng'an's strength beginning to decline. His face also began to pale.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of Qi Long's mouth. "Now, you can die!"
Xu Cheng'an's eyes also revealed a look of despair as he raised the Willow Leaf Miaodao in his hand. However, at this moment, a faint sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rang out. This caused Qi Long, who had been walking on the line between life and death all year round, to immediately feel a great sense of danger.
The Willow Leaf Miaodao in his hand instantly changed direction and slashed behind him. At the same time, the Stellar Energy around his body surged, wanting to defend against the attack coming from behind.
A 'clang' of metal clashing rang out. Several steel awls as thick as a thumb, with spiral blood grooves carved on them and dipped in poison, were chopped off by Qi Long.
In front of the dilapidated temple's gate, Xu Cheng held a cylinder in his hand and pointed it at Qi Long. His vision was already blurred by sweat.
Qi Long fiercely spat out a mouthful of blood. A steel awl had astonishingly pierced his abdomen, and pitch-black blood continuously flowed out.
"The Tang Sect's Space-Rending Awl! Good, good, good. I've underestimated you! "Qi Long looked at Xu Cheng in front of him, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
He had never expected that Xu Cheng, who had previously fled, would actually make a detour and lay in ambush at the main gate of the dilapidated temple. When he was at his most relaxed state, Xu Cheng'an used the Tang Sect's hidden weapons to deal a fatal blow to him.
Behind him, Xu Cheng'an's face was pale. After burning his essence blood, he had already lost 90% of his combat strength. Even though Qi Long was currently heavily injured, he still didn't dare to kill him. After all, he still had the prestige of a sick tiger.
Xu Cheng'an hastily turned around and fled with Xu Cheng. Qi Long wanted to chase after them, but just as he circulated his true qi, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood.
The Tang Sect's Void Ripping Awl wasn't the strongest among the Tang Sect's many hidden weapons. However, this thing could ignore Gang Qi's defense. Just now, Qi Long had chopped off most of the Void Ripping Awl, but this one ignored his defense and directly pierced his abdomen.
Originally, this wasn't a big deal. Such a small wound couldn't do anything to him.
However, the most terrifying thing about the Tang Sect's hidden weapons was often not the hidden weapons themselves, but the poison they carried!
For example, right now, the poison had already quickly invaded his meridians, making him unable to circulate even a trace of true qi. A slight movement of his meridians tore open a wound.
Fortunately, Xu Cheng'an was a coward and didn't come to kill him. Otherwise, Qi Long would have completely fallen here today.
He used the last of his strength to pull out the Sky Ripping Awl. Fresh blood immediately spurted out from the wound on the Sky Ripping Awl.
However, Qi Long didn't care about it. He reluctantly took out a healing medicine and swallowed it. Now, what was more serious than his injury was the poison in his body.
After swallowing the medicine, Qi Long couldn't hold on any longer and immediately fainted.
After a quarter of an hour, a few constables of the Six Fan School walked towards the dilapidated temple. Obviously, they had sensed that someone was fighting here.
One of them cursed as he walked, "F * ck! That brat Qi Long must have encountered the remnants of the Xu Family. Damn, this guy has always been dishonest. He actually took everything by himself. I reckon that he can bring two people back to the Six Fan School now. "
Several people walked into the dilapidated temple while cursing. At this moment, a strong smell of blood suddenly came, causing their expressions to immediately turn cold.
Everyone immediately became vigilant and carefully walked into the dilapidated temple. In the end, they saw Qi Long lying on the ground, clutching his wound. Blood flowed all over the ground, and he seemed to be on the verge of death.
Several constables of the Six Fan School looked at each other. They suddenly felt that this task was not that simple. It was different from what they had imagined.
Although the few of them looked down on Qi Long, they still acknowledged his strength.
At the very least, none of them were 100% sure that they could beat Qi Long in a one-on-one fight.
In the end, Qi Long failed miserably. The retainer of the Xu Family and the brat seemed to have some strength. They were not simple people.
Several people checked Qi Long's injury. He was poisoned and had lost a lot of blood. Fortunately, he was discovered in time and his life was not in danger. Several people immediately sent him to the nearby state capital for treatment before going after the two remnants of the Xu Family.
Although they were very dissatisfied with Qi Long's act of taking everything by himself, they couldn't watch Qi Long die here as they were all colleagues of the Six Fan School.
At this time, Xu Cheng'an and Xu Chen ran for dozens of kilometers. Finally, Xu Cheng'an could not hold on and fell to the ground.
Xu Chen hurriedly asked, "Uncle An, what's wrong?"
Xu Cheng'an waved his hand and said, "Young Master, you should go first. I burned too much blood essence and can't hold on any longer. I'll only be a burden if you bring me along.
Now that Qi Long is injured, we have also lost the spies of the Six Fan School. You should quickly reach the Dugu Clan and be safe. "
Seeing Xu Chen's anxious face, Xu Cheng'an's eyes revealed a gratified expression.
He did not expect Xu Chen to not escape, but instead return to the front of the ruined temple to ambush him. He waited patiently for the best moment before using the Tang Sect's hidden weapons to heavily injure Qi Long.
Although Xu Chen was young, he had already displayed a courageous, astute, and decisive temperament.
If things went according to plan, Xu Chen would definitely be able to take over the Xu Family's patriarch position and bring the Xu Family to greater heights.
But it was a pity that he had to start all over again.
But that was not important. With Xu Chen's current abilities and talent, Xu Chen would definitely be able to rebuild the Xu Family in the future. When that time came, he would be able to answer to the patriarch in the underworld.
Xu Cheng'an did not want to be a burden to Xu Chen, but he did not expect Xu Chen to carry him on his back and leave. This made Xu Cheng'an feel touched, and he painstakingly advised, "Young Master, don't worry about me. If you bring me along, the two of us will not be able to escape."
Xu Chen stubbornly walked forward with Xu Cheng'an on his back. As he walked, he said, "When we escaped from the Xu Family, there were two of us. If we escape to the Dugu Clan, there will be two of us!"
