Chapter 182: Chapter 0182: Deviating into Demonization, Facing Battle Chapter 182: Chapter 0182: Deviating into Demonization, Facing Battle (Just discovered that the name “Xu Jialing” was used in previous chapters, now it’s changed to “He Xiaoqin”. Apologies.)

“Qi Tian, I don’t believe it! I don’t believe that you broke my Jade Sword Qi with just intuition!” He Xiaoqin seemed a bit distraught at first, but the more she spoke, the more excited she became, with her eyes beginning to turn red.

Jin Ping and the others knew a bit about He Xiaoqin’s situation, they all muttered an inward “no good”. Jin Ping said aloud: “Senior Sister He, Qi Tian is a natural genius. It’s perfectly possible that he has such a method. What we should do is follow the orders of the little fairy doctor, feeding Qi Tian tactics properly, and not think about unnecessary things.”

He Xiaoqin gave Jin Ping a cold look. Jin Ping was shocked and quickly shut her mouth.

He Xiaoqin turned her attention back to Qi Tian, calmly saying, “I started practicing when I was eight years old. I’ve always worked hard, putting in ten, even a hundred times more effort than others. But destiny was unfair, I only managed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage when I was thirty-five, I’m almost forty now, without breaking through to the second level of Foundation Establishment, I have to admit that I’m really not gifted in cultivation. However, it’s not that I’m absolutely inferior. That’s my Wishful Sword Qi. When I had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, I mastered the method to stimulate sword qi. Now, it has become more proficient. I dare to say that in the entire Imperial Master Mansion, none of the first level Foundation Establishment is as powerful as me. Even they can’t easily break my sword qi, what makes you, Qi Tian, capable of doing that? Intuition? Bullshit intuition. You must have been a blind cat running into a dead rat. You can break it? Then break it again for me.”

By the end, He Xiaoqin was almost manic. Jin Ping was a bit scared of this state of He Xiaoqin, but she still summoned up the courage to shout: “Senior Sister He, please hold back a bit.”

At this moment, He Xiaoqin couldn’t hear anything anyone else was saying. She swung her Jade Sword, generating a wave of sword qi slashing towards Qi Tian. Not only this, but she continued to wave her sword relentlessly, each swing producing a slash of sword qi that cut through the air towards Qi Tian.

Qi Tian’s face became very serious; he realized that He Xiaoqin’s situation was extremely bad, possibly she had deviated into demonization. He intended to warn Jin Ping and the others, but He Xiaoqin didn’t give him the chance. Despite the Jade Sword Qi attacking him continuously, each one demanded his full attention, so he didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest.

Qi Tian’s heart was in his throat. He fully powered up the Heavenly Dao Engine, swiftly identifying weak points in He Xiaoqin’s Jade Sword Qi while rapidly using his Eighteen Demonic Strokes to counter them. At the same time, constantly moving his position with his feet to dodge the continuous sword qi, looking for the optimal place to attack.

For a moment, Qi Tian was in a desperate situation. What he was facing was an enraged First Level Foundation Establishment cultivator who was beyond reasoning, He Xiaoqin would not hold back at all and would go with everything she had got. If he slacked off even the slightest bit, he would find himself in an abyss from which there was no recovery. At best, he’d end up with broken arms and legs.

“Crazy woman.” Qi Tian could only silently grumble in his heart, not daring to slack off in any of his movements. It would not go well for anyone else in his shoes, even for Chu Yang. Only Qi Tian, who had a good foundation and the Heavenly Dao Engine aid, could hold on.

“What should we do? What should we do?” Jin Ping was as flustered as an ant on a hot pot. She was very clear about their responsibilities. If Qi Tian got injured or killed, they would probably have to pay with their lives – if not for anything else, then just for Huang Liuyan’s fury which they could never withstand.

Jin Ping’s eyes lit up when she thought of the little fairy doctor. She quickly said to the other two cultivators responsible for sparring, “You two watch Senior Sister He. If necessary, you can attack her. I’m going to find Sister Zhang.”

“You better hurry. We’re afraid we won’t be able to control the enraged Senior Sister He,” one of the cultivators expressed her worries.

Jin Ping didn’t dare to delay, she ran to West Peacock Palace and found Zhang Lei, who was in charge there. After she’d explained the situation briefly

Zhang Lei’s face turned pale as soon as she heard. Qi Tian had stayed with them in the West Peacock Palace for several days and had drawn Huang Liuyan’s attention. Also, Qi Tian’s presence in the West Peacock Palace this time was a direct order from the Mansion Master. If something happened to Qi Tian, not only would Huang Liuyan be angered, but even the Mansion Master would be furious.

“Where’s Qi Tian? Take me there quickly.” Zhang Lei didn’t go to report to Huang Liuyan, she spoke urgently.

“Sister Zhang, are you going? Great, please follow me,” Jin Ping hurriedly replied.

The two of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at a small square not far from the West Peacock Palace. Qi Tian had been sparring with He Xiaoqin and Jin Ping there for the past few days.

Zhang Lei could see from afar how He Xiaoqin, like a madwoman, was continuously firing waves of Jade Sword Qi at Qi Tian. If these qi waves were likened to waves, then the Jade Sword Qi would be a terrifying storm capable of tearing anything in its path to shreds. Even Zhang Lei felt fear when she saw it.
