Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 102: Not That Simple

Lin Qingxi stood up as she spoke and walked over to Ye Tianling. Gritting her teeth, she forced out a mouthful of Essence Blood that transformed into a mystical rune and landed directly on him.

HISS—

The Celestial Net Talisman on Ye Tianling’s body immediately began to melt away at an extreme speed, like snow under a blazing sun.

Seeing this, veins bulged on Guan Tianya’s forehead, but he was in the middle of the Refinement of Yang Qingyun and the other two’s Essence, Qi, and Soul Energy and couldn’t afford to be distracted.

With the Celestial Net Talisman’s restriction gone, Ye Tianling’s abilities were naturally stronger and his foundation more robust. Even if the Celestial Net Talisman had remained, it would have been refined and destroyed anyway once he was thrown into the Alchemy Furnace.

Now that it was broken ahead of time, Ye Tianling felt much more at ease, both in body and mind.

Ye Tianling stood up, walked over to Lin Qingxi, and reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"You little brat! You slut! How dare you pull this stunt behind my back! I’ll make you wish you were dead!"

Guan Tianya shrieked, his voice hurried and sharp.

Ye Tianling chuckled. "As if you old dog would have let us live if Lord Long here didn’t perform the Harmonization Dao with Sister Qingxi."

Lin Qingxi pursed her lips, saying nothing.

The moment Ye Tianling’s hand wiped away her tears, her heart was, in fact, a little moved.

Such a simple gesture gave her an inexplicable sense of comfort.

It was as if, in that moment, she had found a sturdy shoulder to lean on.

Ye Tianling lowered his head and leaned in to kiss Lin Qingxi.

Lin Qingxi’s expression was complicated. After a moment of hesitation, she still turned away from his kiss, letting him kiss her on the cheek instead.

"Little Sister Qingxi, you’re not willing?"

"Just hurry up and take my innocence. That way, when Guan Tianya tries to perform the Yin Yang Harmony, it will have no effect. His Energy Refinement is fast; we don’t have much time."

"Er... you’re being so forward, you’re making me blush."

"We’re already in this situation. Guan Tianya killed my senior brother, junior brother, and senior sister. I’m restrained right now and can’t even kill myself... I’m willing to do anything that will thwart him."

"Alright then, let’s enjoy ourselves first... How about you lift up your skirt, we turn our backs to this old bastard, and I’ll take you from behind?"

"Mm..."

...

PUH—

Ye Tianling and Lin Qingxi’s shameless conversation made Guan Tianya’s Cultivation falter, and he couldn’t stop himself from spitting a mouthful of blood eight meters.

"Slut! Slut! Slut!"

He roared, his breathing ragged and his eyes bloodshot, his voice incomparably sinister.

Ye Tianling completely ignored him and chuckled. "Hehe, I have some Black Water Barrier Talismans here, and they’re not a low grade either! If we use a few, we’ll have time. Then I can teach you a dual cultivation technique. You just need to cooperate with me. It’s best if you ’moan’ a little louder. It’ll be more comfortable, more enjoyable that way."

Lin Qingxi’s expression dimmed, her eyes filled with nothing but hatred for Guan Tianya. "I will do my best to cooperate. Do with me as you please."

As Lin Qingxi spoke, a peculiar aura manifested in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

This wisp of aura seemed to form a message that was transmitted directly, scattering into Ye Tianling’s ears.

’Senior Brother Long, he will definitely intervene at the critical moment of our Yin Yang Harmony! When he does, I will execute a Cultivation Technique and activate an Exotic Treasure. You’ll be able to escape then. But Qingxi hopes that after you get out, Senior Brother Long, you can summon the Tianyu Saintess to kill that old bastard Guan Tianya and avenge my senior brother, junior brother, and senior sister.’

As she conveyed this, Lin Qingxi began to pull away her beautiful silk dress.

But Ye Tianling stopped her.

Ye Tianling used his Innate True Qi for a secret sound transmission, saying: ’Silly girl, you’ve already used one of your trump cards. Your Realm is already damaged and your Soul is unstable. If you use the Exotic Treasure and start Burning your Essence Blood again inside this Forbidden Array, you’ll truly be beyond saving. Not only will you die, but Guan Tianya will surely defile your body after you’re dead.’

Lin Qingxi fell silent for a moment, then another unusual message manifested in her eyes: ’It’s the only way.’

Ye Tianling replied, ’Girl, don’t worry. We don’t need to resort to that. Guan Tianya won’t escape. You’re a good person, so I won’t forcibly take your innocence. I’ll release the Black Water Barrier Talismans, and we can just put on a show to provoke this old dog. Rest assured, your Brother Qing has ways to deal with him. But things will get very bad after I kill him. When that happens, would you be willing to perform the Yin Yang Harmony with me and help me out?’

Lin Qingxi’s eyes brightened slightly. ’If you have the ability, why didn’t you save them?’

Ye Tianling shook his head. ’It’s not that simple. You’ll understand in a moment. Let’s just put on a show for now.’

It was already difficult for Lin Qingxi to form another message. This method was clearly taking a huge toll on her, but she still managed to send one more: ’Let’s make it real. Our chances are slim. You just need to be quick and use your Supreme Yang Power to take my innocence. That’ll be enough.’

Lin Qingxi looked slightly uncomfortable. A faint blush appeared on her pretty face, and her expression dimmed a little.

Ye Tianling seemed lost in thought for a moment, then directly released three Black Water Barrier Talismans.

The Barrier Talismans were affected by the Forbidden Array, their effectiveness reduced by more than tenfold. However, the Black Water Barrier Talismans in Ye Tianling’s possession were of a very high grade. They were from Guan Cangyun’s Qiankun Ring. There were exactly three of them, all at the Earth Tier Upper Grade.

Ye Tianling used all of them at once, which could buy him about three minutes of time.

Of course, if Guan Tianya were to attack the Barrier Talismans, they probably wouldn’t even last a minute.

’The worst-case scenario—less than a minute. That’s not nearly enough time for you to witness how amazing I am.’

Ye Tianling sighed.

Lin Qingxi, however, was exceptionally decisive. She knelt with her back to Ye Tianling, presenting her beautiful... assets.

...

After escaping, Lin Qingyu shivered violently, blood streaming unceasingly from her seven orifices.

This chance to escape had originally belonged to Yang Qingyue.

Lin Qingyu never trusted anyone, so she had launched a sudden, deadly attack on Yang Qingyue. This provoked Yang Qingyue’s killing intent into a counterattack, which Lin Qingyu then used, along with her own Death Guardian ability, to escape.

She had seized this opportunity to escape for herself.

Now, she hesitated.

She hesitated over whether or not to send a message to Lin Qingxi’s Master, Xiao Qingzhu.

Within the Celestial Sword Sect, the Sect Master was not the strongest. The strongest was Lin Qingxi’s Master, Xiao Qingzhu.

Although Xiao Qingzhu had ’Qing’ in her name, she was not of the ’Qing’ generation. Her true status far surpassed that of the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Master!

Her background was astonishing.

Moreover, Xiao Qingzhu was extremely protective of her own. Lin Qingyu knew that if anything happened to Lin Qingxi, she wouldn’t be able to escape Xiao Qingzhu’s pursuit even if she fled to the ends of the earth.

’Besides,’ she thought, ’with Long Tianshu’s status as a member of the Dragon Race, if he’s rescued, shouldn’t I, Lin Qingyu, get some of the credit?’

After these calculations, Lin Qingyu sent the message via a Communication Talisman Stone after all.

She concealed certain things. Regarding her escape, for instance, she explained that she had merely ’assisted’ because she was afraid Yang Qingyue’s methods weren’t sufficient to get away.

That way, regardless of whether Yang Qingyue and the others lived or died, she would be blameless.

If Lin Qingxi and the others all died, leaving only Long Tianshu alive, that would be even better.

After sending the message, Lin Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she take out an Elixir and swallow it to treat her injuries.

However, the moment the Elixir entered her mouth and she circulated her Sword Soul Power, the Ice Power of the ’Life and Death Talisman’ immediately erupted.
