"But this time, I was a little careless." Yang Qi suddenly said in a deep voice.
Carelessness does not only refer to facing the black-robed man, but also to facing Yuan En. Because he had forced Yuan En to flee before, when he saw Yuan En again, Yang Qi still looked at Yuan En based on his experience of the last fight, and did not take him too seriously in his heart. It was precisely because of this that he was affected when Yuan En activated the Soul-Calming Bell for the first time.
In fact, the black-robed man approached Yuan En to attack, which was a very correct approach. If Yang Qi had not gained a lot in the Wu Emperor Realm, which made his soul stronger, he would not have been able to escape the influence of the Soul-Calming Bell and would not even have the strength to resist. On the contrary, if the black-robed man attacked himself, Yang Qi would definitely use the life-saving items of the Martial Emperor level for the first time. After all, Yang Qi knew very well that he would not be able to resist at all if he did not use the life-saving items when facing the peak of the Martial Emperor.
Yang Qi underestimated Yuan En's methods, and the man in black also underestimated Yang Qi's strength. Both sides obviously underestimated each other, but in the end it was Yang Qi who survived.
“Even if it’s the same enemy, even if we’ve defeated him long ago, we must never underestimate him.” Yang Qi secretly warned himself.
Not to mention whether the opponent's strength will increase after a period of time. Even if the opponent's strength has not increased during this period, there are many external means in the cultivation world. Even when facing a practitioner weaker than oneself, one cannot be careless, let alone an enemy whose cultivation is higher than oneself
Yang Qi has encountered many opponents, but relying on his own incredible speed of cultivation, once an opponent is defeated, it is almost impossible for him to pose a threat to him again. This also made him instinctively despise Yuan En after his strength increased again. However, after this battle, Yang Qi will only be more careful in the future.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's body flashed and flew towards the place where the black-robed man died, intending to collect the treasures left behind by the other party.
Buzz~
At this moment, there was a sudden change at the place where the black-robed man died. A terrifying force burst out, and Yang Qi, who was flying over, seemed to be frozen in place, and he was completely unable to move.
"not good!"
Feeling that terrifying power, Yang Qi's face changed drastically. The black-robed man actually left some tricks behind after his death. As soon as he approached, this trick was triggered.
Whoosh~
Even at the moment when Yang Qi's body was frozen, a burst of energy containing the power to destroy the world burst out and attacked Yang Qi directly.
“We must block it!”
Feeling the incoming power, Yang Qi could only hope that the energy of the remaining life-saving items of the Martial Emperor level on his body and his own body could withstand this attack. Otherwise, he would be completely unable to move and would have no way out.
Bang!
The attack containing terrifying power came down and hit the light curtain on Yang Qi's body fiercely. In an instant, the light curtain quickly dimmed and shattered. At the same time, the remaining power also fell directly on Yang Qi.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Yang Qi's body was directly swallowed up by the terrifying power. The residual power was shaking, and the surrounding void collapsed and annihilated directly.
Wow~
After a while, the residual power dissipated, and a body with the lower abdomen completely annihilated and the upper body shattered appeared in the void. This body was Yang Qi, and that blow almost annihilated his body completely. Fortunately, at the last moment, he let the shadow clone and the dark beetle protect his upper body with all his strength, thus saving part of his body.
Yang Qi looked at the void that was bursting with terrifying power, and said with a sense of fear, "That was definitely not a trick left by the black-robed man. Was it left on him by the powerful person behind him?"
The life-saving item he activated was at least at the Martial Emperor level, but it was broken so easily. Even his own body was nearly annihilated, and his vitality was directly depleted by more than 90%. He would have really died just by that little bit.
The loss of vitality was too great, Yang Qi did not dare to use vitality to restore his body directly, and with a thought, a vitality-restoring pill flew out from the storage ring beside him and he swallowed it. As the power of the pill merged into his body, he continued to restore his almost exhausted vitality, and Yang Qi finally felt a little more confident.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
At this moment, two figures flew over from the distant void and arrived in front of Yang Qi in a flash. They were the Emperor Chiyang and Emperor Xuanyang who had received the message and rushed over.
"Yang Qi!"
Looking at Yang Qi's body which was more than half damaged, the expressions of Emperor Chiyang and Emperor Xuanyang suddenly changed. This kind of injury on the body was nothing for a cultivator, but Yang Qi's physical injury recovered slowly. It was obvious that his vitality was too much depleted, and it was impossible to recover the damaged body in a short time.
Looking at the two people with worried faces, Yang Qi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I'm fine. At least I'm still alive, right?"
Hearing this, Emperor Xuanyang and Emperor Chiyang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Qi's injuries looked serious, and even his vitality was greatly depleted. However, as long as his soul was not too damaged, the loss of his body and vitality alone would be enough to recover quickly, and there would be no sequelae.
Because Yang Qi was injured, Emperor Chiyang and Emperor Xuanyang immediately came to protect Yang Qi. With the help of the medicinal power of the elixir, as well as the recovery power of the Life Source Pearl and the Phoenix Nirvana Body, Yang Qi's body recovered rapidly. In less than half a cup of tea, his body had recovered.
Half a cup of tea may not seem like a long time, but if Yang Qi maintains that broken body, he may not be able to exert even one tenth of his strength. Once he encounters a strong enemy, he will only have death in this situation.
As his body recovered, Yang Qi took another vitality-restoring pill and quickly refined it to restore his consumed vitality. In this way, more than half a day passed before Yang Qi's lost vitality was completely restored.
With his vitality restored, Yang Qi slightly opened his eyes, but his brows slightly frowned, "The speed at which the Life Source Pearl restores vitality seems to have slowed down again."
The speed at which the Life Source Pearl restores vitality should be fixed. As the practitioner's strength increases, what decreases is only the proportion compared to the total vitality, rather than the amount restored by the Life Source Pearl.
Yang Qi looked at the two people beside him, and said with gratitude, "Thank you two seniors for protecting me."
Two powerful warriors at the level of Martial Emperors were now protecting him, a cultivator at the level of Martial King. Yang Qi was naturally extremely grateful, and his sense of belonging to the Tianwu Sect became even stronger.
"I'm glad you're okay." Emperor Chiyang smiled slightly, then said solemnly, "Did those people take action?"
"The other party first led Yuan En to attack me, and then a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level came..."
Yang Qi did not hide anything, and directly told about his encounter with Yuan En and the mysterious black-robed man after he left the Witch King Realm. Of course, he also mentioned the trick left by the black-robed man after his death, after all, he himself almost died under this trick. (To be continued)
