Legend of the Great Saint Chapter 1417 - Reunion

Chapter 1417 - Reunion

The winds whistled past his ears as Myriad city rapidly receded into the distance. A great, gaping hole appeared in Li Qingshan’s chest, surging out with raging flames. His ribs had completely shattered, such that it was possible to make out his spine and his thumping, undying heart.

He gazed at the blue sky and watched the white clouds pa.s.s by, except he felt extraordinarily calm inside.

Whether it was Li Liehuo or Chao Tianjiao, they were only small obstacles in the path before him. He did not view them as powerful enemies. They were even positioned below the true dragon in the Xuanming dwelling, Ao Xuan.

Since it was impossible for him to hand over the formation disc to the Xuanming dwelling, then they could only fall out. He said he did not have Chao Tianjiao’s qualms, but it was actually the same. When he asked him how many moves it would take to kill him, he could not answer a hundred or two, right? As a result, it seemed dangerous, but it was actually very safe.

Of course, Li Liehuo’s strength was indisputable. The power behind the punch was extraordinarily great, so great that it had almost turned him back into a phoenix embryo. However, that was also because he had not used any innate abilities, or even taking on a few strikes like that would not be a problem. Meanwhile, the true dragon Ao Xuan probably possessed the same level of strength.

For now, perhaps he stood no chance, but once the Ape Demon Transformation reached the fifth layer and he recovered his full strength, he would possess complete confidence.

Boom!

The waves surged and splashed. He plunged into the depths of the ocean while the scorching flames that sprayed out from his chest directly vapourised the seawater, making it rise and churn.

Li Qingshan grinned. This grievance of a punch would definitely be paid back plentifully!

With a leap, he swam towards the surface of the ocean. As soon as his head poked out of the water, a hand extended towards him.

Under the blue sky, Gu Yanying’s smile was hidden under the face cloth, only revealing her eyes. “Little bro Qingshan, long time no see.”

Li Qingshan smiled and grabbed her hand, pressing against the surface of the ocean and leaping out.

With a white flash, Xiao An threw herself into his arms.

Li Qingshan smiled gently and rubbed her head forcefully. “I knew you were nearby.” However, he did not see Rāhu Xiaoming, so he frowned slightly. “Where’s Xiaoming?”

Xiao An said, “In order to cover for our escape, he was captured by that dragon.”

“I see. That’s fine. We’ll be able to save him very soon.”

Li Qingshan immediately discarded his original plan. He decided to save Rāhu Xiaoming and take the Xuanming dwelling before he was sent off to the army, before his strength had recovered. This way, he could show that d.a.m.ned Li Liehuo whether he was worthy of not!

I’m not alone right now.

At this moment, Ruan Yaozhu rode over on her deer, stopping on the surface of the ocean in the distance. She was surprised. She clearly recognised them.

Li Qingshan let go of Xiao An and clasped his hands at the distance. “Senior sister Ruan, thank you for earlier.

Ruan Yaozhu faltered as the nine-coloured deer asked, “Kid, who are they?”

Li Qingshan said calmly, “Family and companions.”

Ruan Yaozhu nodded with a smile. “I see. Nice to meet you.”

Gu Yanying and Xiao An exchanged glances, removing their face clothes. “Nice to meet you too, senior sister Ruan.”

Ruan Yaozhu glanced at Li Qingshan deeply. Seeing how he had no intentions to introduce them any further, she was about to leave, but she still ended up asking, “Are your wounds already?”

“It’s not a problem. You know, my body is always in fantastic shape.” Li Qingshan patted his chest. His injuries had already begun to heal.

“Sigh, you shouldn’t have confronted him directly.”

“You know the kind of person I am. Instead of putting up with him with pent-up anger, I’m better off just taking a punch. That’s much more satisfying.”

Ruan Yaozhu scanned past the three of them as if she had eased up slightly, but she also felt strangely disappointed. “I’m going back to the Hundred Herbs garden.” She rode away on the deer.

The calm surface of the ocean reflected the blue skies and white clouds. With a white deer and a woman, her dress drifted about, making her seem rather lonely.

Li Qingshan suddenly said, “Senior sister, I have an unreasonable request I’d like to make.”

Ruan Yaozhu turned around. Her expression was just as gentle as usual, but she seemed slightly more distant. “Junior brother, I might not be able to help you this time.”

“I still haven’t told you what it is…”

“Tell me then.”

“I want you to buy some time for me.”

Li Qingshan requested. He could not rush over to the Xuanming dwelling and face the dragon Ao Xuan in a battle to the death right now. He needed some time for preparation. Since that enlistment order would be contested in the Direct Disciple hall, it had to go through a process, which would likely take a lot of time. That was the opportunity.

Ruan Yaozhu could not help but glance at Gu Yanying and Xiao An again. Was he going to spend some time with them before he left?

Gu Yanying smiled silently, while Xiao An remained impa.s.sive.

The nine-coloured deer said, “Hey kid, learn to be content. We’ve already helped you enough. You’ve used up this bit of favour a long time ago!”

Li Qingshan said, “That’s why I said it’s an unreasonable request, but this really is very important to me. I want to obtain the Xuanming dwelling, so I need to prepare…”

“But I can’t help you with that!”

Ruan Yaozhu interrupted him. As a direct disciple, it was impossible for her to help him confront the current first senior brother’s mount, even when the first senior brother had already pa.s.sed away and reincarnated. As if she felt her response was a little too intense, she stroked the hair on the side of her face.

“Even if I want to help you, I’m not Ao Xuan’s opponent. I’m not well-versed in battle.”

“I’m obviously aware of that. I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I just want a bit of time. If you really can’t, that’s fine too.” Li Qingshan grinned. “Perhaps that Ao Xuan would start begging to be my mount when he sees me. I’ll ride a true dragon onto the battlefield then. I’d like to see how Li Liehuo responds then!”

The joke made Ruan Yaozhu squeeze out a smile. He definitely would be challenging Ao Xuan together with these two women, as they were his family and his companions. He had never considered asking her to help him out with anything big, much less make things difficult for her. She was only a senior sister to him.

That was the reality too. The two of them had not even been perturbed when they heard that, even if they would go through fire and water with him, challenging undefeatable enemies. Meanwhile, she was even trying to s.h.i.+rk away this small request of his.

Originally, she wanted to persuade him out of rus.h.i.+ng over to the Xuanming dwelling. After all, Ao Xuan was not that easy to deal with, but she was unable to utter a single word when she tried. All she could do was nod. “I understand. I will contest the enlistment order in the Direct Disciple hall, which will buy you around ten to fifteen days. Y- you’re on your own now!”

He watched Ruan Yaozhu vanish into the horizon and Gu Yanying jokingly said, “Stop looking. She’s already out of sight. You’ve only joined the Myriad sect for so long, so I really have no idea what to say. Though, you better not blame us for getting in the way of your relations.h.i.+p with her.”

Li Qingshan said in doubt, “Don’t tell me you did this on purpose!”

“You sure are ungrateful. Look at you, you were sent flying by a punch and left half dead. We rushed over to save you…”

She left Li Qingshan feeling a little embarra.s.sed for what he had just said. Then Gu Yanying cut to the chase. “That’s right, we did it on purpose.”

Li Qingshan rolled his eyes before smiling freely. “It’s fine. This is quite good too.”

“She’s very good, but not as good as me,” Xiao An said seriously.

She did not care about how many women were beside him. All she cared about was whether she could be standing beside him when he was in danger.

Li Qingshan scooped her up again and laughed. “Of course! My Xiao An is the best in the world!”

Xiao An’s laughter rang out like silver chimes. Her smile was sweet and innocent.

“The two of you…” Gu Yanying shook her head in dismay. How were they two powerful cultivators?

“Haha, if you’re jealous, I can give you a hug too.” Li Qingshan extended his hand and shot towards her.

“Save it.” With a flash, she arrived behind him. “So what do you think? How do we deal with that dragon?”

“Do you even need to ask? I’m best at something like that!” Cold light flashed through Li Qingshan’s eyes.
