Linghu Xiaoxian had finished crying and took the opportunity to break free from Mo Qi's embrace, turning her face away.
Mo Qi followed the sound with his gaze and saw Hua Xianfu returning, her graceful, slender waist swaying.
Behind her followed the toad spirit, who had escaped the earlier explosion.
Turtle Wu was dead, and Turtle Si, heavily injured, was being carried to Divine Turtle Island by other turtles.
Then, countless turtles began to surge onto the shore.
It was then that Mo Qi took a closer look at the enchantress!
She had a melon-seed shaped face, a pair of phoenix eyes with gazes like flowing water, and skin as fair as peach blossoms. Her overall complexion was tender and white, but her cheeks were faintly flushed, making her appear exceptionally alluring!
Mo Qi regretted it slightly, wondering if he had been too heavy-handed earlier!
"Are your injuries serious?" Mo Qi asked.
Hua Xianfu suddenly had an illusion, as if he were her comrade in arms.
She suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, "Hehehe, thank you for your concern, but you will still die."
She spoke of death with such joy, making it seem devoid of pain.
Was it like getting promoted?
Mo Qi also chuckled, "Those who told me that before are all gone. I don't kill women; you should leave quickly!"
Linghu Xiaoxian frowned slightly and said angrily, "What time is it, and you're still flirting?"
"You have quite the nerve," Hua Xianfu said coldly. "Having gained a slight advantage through some underhanded means, you've lost all sense of proportion."
As she spoke, she unleashed her full might. In an instant, Mo Qi felt as if an entire mountain was pressing down on him, forcing him to bend his waist.
His chest felt as if it would explode, and his bones creaked.
The opponent hadn't even used any divine abilities, yet the pressure she exerted was terrifying.
He could only imagine that if she were to go all out, he would be at her mercy.
Linghu Xiaoxian also realized that Mo Qi was no match for her, so she said, "Let's deal with her together."
"If we deal with her together, we'll die together," Mo Qi said, his eyes fixed on Hua Xianfu. "If you handle the toad spirit, we might have a chance."
As he spoke, Mo Qi tossed an explosive pill towards the coast. With a loud bang, a clear area was created, scaring away other turtles.
Many turtles hovered in the water, hesitating whether to come ashore.
"Alright, be careful. If you can't win, we'll escape. After all, it seems like there's no one left in the Qingxuan Sect; what are we still holding on for?" Linghu Xiaoxian said.
Mo Qi nodded ambiguously.
Hearing this, Futian felt a surge of sorrow. Was the Qingxuan Sect truly destined to perish?
While he was lost in grief, the army of the Dinghai Sect arrived, clad in vibrant red and green. Led by their Vice Sect Master, Daoist Shanda, they directly charged towards Hong Jianxin and his men.
Hong Jianxin and his group, who had thought victory was within their grasp, were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Dinghai Sect disciples, finding themselves in a precarious situation of being attacked from both sides.
At this moment, Hua Xianfu formed a hand seal, and countless flower shadows rained down upon Mo Qi.
Simultaneously, she twisted her serpentine waist and soared into the air, her jade wrists dancing lightly, her entire form enveloped in a shower of flower shadows, like a spirit amidst flowers.
Mo Qi was momentarily stunned. When the flower shadows whistled towards him, he snapped back to reality, hastily forming a hand seal and unleashing his Flame Thunder divine ability with both palms. It erupted like a dragon emerging from the sea.
In a flash of white light, spiderweb-like lightning flickered, accompanied by continuous booming explosions.
The flower shadows violently collided, instantly scattering the white light, which dissolved into fragments and dissipated into the air.
The flower shadows, only slightly diminished, struck Mo Qi, sending him flying dozens of feet away, his body feeling as if it had fallen apart.
The toad spirit had not made a move, so Linghu Xiaoxian also held back. Seeing Mo Qi take that blow, she feared he was surely dead, her face turning pale with fright.
When she saw Mo Qi struggle to get back up, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry on her face did not diminish.
"Calm your mind, don't fall for her soul-bewitching technique," Linghu Xiaoxian warned.
Mo Qi's lips curved slightly. This wasn't a soul-bewitching technique at all.
It was a deadly dance, wasn't it?
For some reason, he had mentally named Hua Xianfu's technique.
Hua Xianfu let out a cold snort, "So tenacious? But it's useless."
As she spoke, Hua Xianfu formed another hand seal, and another wave of flower shadows surged towards Mo Qi like a tide. At the same time, she moved her wrists in the air, bending and flipping them, her entire body dancing gracefully in mid-air. Streams of red mist flowed from her fingertips, extending forward like silken threads.
Mo Qi was once again mesmerized!
He stood there, his eyes fixed in a daze!
"You scoundrel, wake up!" Linghu Xiaoxian cursed.
Mo Qi remained motionless, staring at Hua Xianfu.
"You're seeking death!" Linghu Xiaoxian exclaimed, both angry and anxious.
By then, the overwhelming flower shadows were about to touch his body. Even if Mo Qi reacted now, it would be too late to defend.
Linghu Xiaoxian cried out in alarm and closed her eyes.
At this moment, Mo Qi seemed to finally awaken, his hands making a move.
He twisted his waist in a similar fashion, flicked his wrists lightly, and stepped with the same footwork.
The toad spirit and Futian watched, utterly dumbfounded!
Were they looking for pleasure even in the face of death?
Had they gone mad?
Or were they deeply poisoned?
Especially his dancing posture, it was a clumsy imitation, looking particularly awkward. The graceful movements of others appeared like a monkey performing tricks when he did them!
However, the next moment, something completely unexpected happened!
As his body twisted, the flower shadows seemed to gain sentience, swirling around his form like a spirit snake, winding from bottom to top and then from top to bottom.
Linghu Xiaoxian despaired, waiting for a deafening explosion, but none came. She couldn't help but open her eyes again.
Upon closer inspection, she froze!
What?
Was this a fight?
Don't lie to me, I'm inexperienced!
Hua Xianfu also paused for a moment, then continued to channel her spiritual power.
The red line formed by the red mist then coiled towards Mo Qi. Once it ensnared him, it would surely strangle him to death!
However, as Mo Qi twisted his waist in time with Hua Xianfu, maintaining the same rhythm, the red line slid past him.
Like a nimble snake, Mo Qi wriggled out of the forming loop.
Hua Xianfu was somewhat exasperated. She changed her hand seal, shifted her steps, and raised her jade wrists, adopting a different dance pose. The flower shadows then suddenly attacked Mo Qi from all directions.
Mo Qi immediately shifted his steps as well, mimicking her movements and hand gestures. His awkward posture made even the toad spirit want to vomit.
Yet, as he clumsily moved his body, the flower shadows gently began to weave around Mo Qi!
Futian's eyes nearly bulged out. Was this a deliberate attempt to mock his outdated ways?
At this moment, Linghu Xiaoxian, watching the two maintain synchronized dance moves in mid-air, felt inexplicably furious, her breathing becoming uneven!
Then, Mo Qi seized an opportunity and suddenly grabbed the red line with his hand, as if he were holding a rope.
What?
Not only were the onlookers astonished, but even Hua Xianfu was taken aback. That was formed from her spiritual energy; even she couldn't grasp it, let alone someone else!
It wasn't over yet!
With a flick of his wrist, Mo Qi bent the red rope and bound Hua Xianfu's waist.
Mo Qi gave a gentle tug, and Hua Xianfu cried out in surprise, her body involuntarily lunging towards him.
However, Hua Xianfu was no ordinary opponent. After a moment of composure, she twisted her waist and turned lightly, escaping the restraint of the red line.
The red line dissipated!
Hua Xianfu was both shocked and enraged. She formed another hand seal, continued to twist her waist, dance her jade wrists, and unleashed countless flower shadows towards Mo Qi.
Mo Qi continued to maintain the same posture as her, and the flower shadows remained around him, unable to harm him in the slightest.
Linghu Xiaoxian was particularly annoyed and shouted, "Stop dancing, you two! It's incredibly ugly!"
Mo Qi knew it was ugly, but not dancing meant death!
Between ugliness and death, he chose ugliness!
Hua Xianfu, however, suffered a fatal blow. In her heart, she had always prided herself on her beauty, not just her own opinion, but others said so too.
But today, someone dared to call her ugly!
It was too humiliating!
That person was imitating her, and indeed, it was very ugly!
Yet, he shamelessly followed her in dancing!
Overall, he was dragging her down!
And she couldn't do anything to deal with him!
Hua Xianfu finally lost her composure, stopped moving, uttered "My nemesis," sighed, and flew away on a cloud.
The toad spirit, after a moment of stunned silence, followed her.
Mo Qi, utterly exhausted, collapsed onto the ground!
He gasped for breath!
This style of combat actually consumed more spiritual energy.
"You had quite a lot of fun!"
Linghu Xiaoxian stepped forward to help him. He reached out his hand, but Linghu Xiaoxian suddenly retracted hers, causing Mo Qi to fall face-first onto the ground.
Mo Qi struggled to get up and said with a wry smile, "How could I be having fun? I was just at the gates of hell a moment ago."
"I'd believe you if pigs could fly," Linghu Xiaoxian scoffed.
Mo Qi suddenly looked at her with confusion, "Are you jealous?"
"How could I be?" Linghu Xiaoxian glared at him. "I just can't stand it. It's too ugly, it's offensive to me, and it disgusts me."
"If you can't stand it, why are you staring at me?"
Linghu Xiaoxian paused for a moment, then said, "I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to help my senior brother!"
With that, she took flight and headed towards another side of the island.
Mo Qi glanced at Futian, seeing his pathetic state, and suddenly felt a pang of pity. He said, "I can save your life, but you must promise me that after you recover, you will not oppose me, nor will you harm any disciple of our Sun Moon Sect."
Futian snorted, "You save me? With what?"
"I have elixirs and miraculous medicines; you don't need to worry about that for now. First, tell me, can you agree to the conditions I've proposed?" Mo Qi asked.
As Futian hesitated, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, landing precisely where Futian stood.
The light flashed and disappeared, leaving a deep pit on the ground. Futian, however, had turned to ashes!
The entire process took mere seconds. The person who was breathing one moment was gone the next!
"I've solved a problem for you, to prevent both sides from being in a difficult situation," a voice echoed through the air.
