Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World-Chapter 45: When A Martial Artist Learns Spells

8 people followed closely into the alley, then they looked at each other in blank dismay.

The alley was straight. Every house is closed. There were no forks in the ally. They could see the opposite street at a glance, but Qin Yi had disappeared.

He just rushed in, how could he get out of the alley so quickly?

But the whole alley could be seen at a glance. Against the wall, there were dustpans, brooms, etc. that some residents piled up outside. No matter how they looked, Qin Yi had no way to hide himself.

“Don’t be fooled, everyone. He must still be in this alley. Spread the search. He probably hid in someone’s house.”

Everyone slowly separated to search different houses.

Behind the murderer of ‘Qin Yi’, a mace slowly extended from the edge of a few dustpans.

“Pong!”

There was an earth-shattering explosion. Everyone’s eardrums were buzzing. When they looked over, they only saw that their companion’s entire head had been smashed, which showed how much strength was used in this smash.

Then they saw Qin Yi seemed to be growing out of the other side of the dustpan, and he sprinted to the way he came in with.

“…” The group of people couldn’t react to it.

Basic tao spell, [Hidden].

It was not even invisibility, nor was it hallucinogenic, but it was similar to adding a protective color to oneself, deceiving the vision of others. Of course, it was a bit greater than the protective color. It was a spell at the very least…

There were only a few dustpans at a glance, so no one cared of course. Who would have thought Qin Yi was hiding next to the dustpans?

Martial artist, who learns spells, is really unstoppable…

Over there, Qin Yi galloped out of the alley, heartily and delightedly.

What this strange ambush was to revenge. Fortunately, the murderer was near his hiding place, so he easily knocked the murderer into hell. Even if the murderer wasn’t nearby, he still planned to show up suddenly and rush over to beat him to death.

After killing 1 of the 2 murderers, the resentment that lingered around him suddenly dissipated a lot. He could feel a little lighter from the body to the heart.

He suspected that if this revenge was completed, his body and mind would be clear by then. The true qi that had been stuck for a long time might break through and reach the Innate Stage. Maybe even his spiritual force could be benefited.

Just thinking about it, he saw the bean curd seller among a group of people rushing toward him.

Qin Yi smiled, showing his neat white teeth.

Instead of running away, he turned his head and rushed straight toward the enemies.

The large group of people who were chasing after him were shocked by his move and stopped abruptly, then they were overwhelmed by joy. They dispersed in an organized manner, forming an encirclement.

Qin Yi didn’t care as he rushed straight into the encirclement.

The encirclement was tightened.

Suddenly, everyone saw a light bursting out. Their eyes were so dazzled that they couldn’t see anything.

Basic tao spell, [Flare].

In just a short moment, the light dissipated quickly. In a daze, Qin Yi slammed the mace viciously on the head of the bean curd seller. Before everyone’s vision had fully recovered, he rushed out of the encirclement with loud laughter.

The exhilaration of killing 2 enemies was beyond the knowledge of outsiders.

Liu Su didn’t make a sound from the beginning to the end, nor did it give any pointers as if it was watching Qin Yi’s performance. It wasn’t until Qin Yi’s laughter subsided that it said leisurely, “No wonder… you like Li Qingjun.”

Being able to flexibly use the seemingly useless low level spells in battle with his brain is what Qin Yi can do. This is expected.

But the heroic spirit of not retreating but killing the enemy and laughing away from the enemies is not like Qin Yi at all.

I always thought Qin Yi was being indifferent and reclusive, but he actually has a heroic spirit in his bones. This makes me remember that rainy night in the taoist temple. Although Li Qingjun was afraid, she still resolutely pierced at the spider beastkin.

Maybe it has been hidden in Qin Yi’s bones. After knowing Li Qingjun, the heroic spirit is slowly showing itself… So he admired Li Qingjun so much at the beginning. I thought he was just trying to get her fondness. It was clear that Qin Yi wanted to do it himself, but the heroic spirit is slowly fading away in the comfort and peace of another world.

Then, in the oppression in the capital, the ambush, and seeing the enemies, Qin Yi’s wildness is finally aroused.

“Yeah.” Qin Yi didn’t know it had thought so much, and he just replied with a smile, “I like Qingjun.”

Liu Su smiled softly, and the laughter was quite meaningful.

Qin Yi took a few breaths, then he looked back and saw that the pursuers had already disappeared. In fact, the pursuers were exhausted by him. After chasing for a long time, they ran slower and slower and watched him leave.

Qin Yi finally relaxed a little. In fact, his spiritual force had been exhausted. Even his true qi was a bit stagnant, only now could he recover a little bit.

He took out a recovery pill and stuffed it into his mouth. While adjusting his breath, he continued to run toward the princess mansion. After passing another street, the princess mansion was in front of him.

Qin Yi ran over and asked the guard directly, “Is the princess here?”

The guard laughed, “Hey, Mr. Qin. The princess is inside, please come in.”

“Thank you.” Qin Yi raised his foot and was about to walk in. Suddenly, he was startled, “Wait a minute, how do you know I’m Qin Yi?”

The guard laughed and said, “Master Qin and the princess’ matter had caused a scene at the state banquet. How could we not know about it? We’ve never seen you in person before, but we’ve heard people describe you. Mister’s mace is so recognizable.”

“Oh.” Qin Yi squeezed the mace tightly, and he asked again, “I was causing such a huge commotion with someone on the other street, why didn’t you all respond at all?”

The guard was stunned, “How is the commotion out there related to us? We don’t know that it was Mr. Qin who was ambushed…”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yi raised the mace with one hand, “I’m only talking about causing a commotion, and you already knew I was ambushed!”

Qin Yi was afraid that he would misunderstand the good people, so this slam was actually reserved in force. It was just to threaten him. But after all, this fake guard couldn’t keep on pretending anymore. A spear pierced out from the door, parried the mace, and save him.

There was a sigh from inside the door, “Brother Qin is really alert. It really contrasts with the image of carrying a mace.”

The door was open. Mang Zhan stood in the middle courtyard with his subordinates. 2 fake guards also retreated to the left and right sides of Mang Zhan, seeming to be his cronies.

Qin Yi retreated from the stone step and squinted his eyes, “Where is Qingjun?”

Mang Zhan pretended to be profound, “What does Brother Qin think?”

Qin Yi looked up at the building in the mansion, then he suddenly turned around and left as he muttered, “You idiot, if I was you, I would have gone back to my own place and had a good time. If you want to act, just let your subordinates capture me. Why are you showing up yourself? Qingjun is of course still in the crown prince mansion.”

He walked very swiftly. When he finished the whole sentence, he was almost half a street away.

Mang Zhan was infuriated. While leading his subordinates to chase, he said fiercely, “2 esteemed sirs, what are you waiting for!”

The beastkin wind suddenly surged.

A human-shaped black owl whizzed from the left. At the same time, the stone slabs on the street arched, and a huge centipede appeared in front of him.

The momentum was extremely frightening.

But Qin Yi couldn’t help laughing. He made a jump attack at the centipede’s head, “Under the Seven Stars Array, even Ye Ling has only one breath left. It’s lucky that you 2 little beastkins who can’t even transform didn’t die, how dare you show off in front of me!”

“Bang“, the centipede’s brain was smashed before it came out from under the ground. The owl stopped abruptly in the air, then it flew away anxiously. A strand of its feather dropped to the ground.

Mang Zhan was so furious that he chased after Qin Yi desperately, but Qin Yi had already disappeared without a trace.

He pretended to be relaxed and contemptuous in his words, but in fact, he was extremely solemn in his mind. 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙣𝙚𝒕

Because although Dong Huazi doesn’t have any troops on hand, he must have quite a few cultivators with a certain level of cultivation. As for the beastkins, they should all be dying after suffering Ming He’s array. There should be more powerful beastkins hiding somewhere. But all I see are ordinary martial artists.

Of course, it is because I’m not the core of the situation. Although the opponent really wanted to kill me, it would have no effect on the overall situation if I ran away. Of course, the opponent knew the importance and would not place the main force on him. They came to the princess mansion to capture Li Qingjun with only such a little effort, and they even missed… Then it can be imagined what kind of pressure the prince mansion is facing at this moment.

But this is so weird…

Coming to the princess mansion is considered a surprise attack, but can they openly besiege the crown prince mansion to kill Li Qinglin? The emperor is still alive. No matter how much Dong Huazi is trusted, this is unlikely to happen. Is my logic not correct?
