Chapter 1457: Feint in the East, Strike in the West

Ying Jian’s mouth was overflowing with blood foam, almost driving him to madness.

But in his heart, there was more fear; he was gravely injured and already had the intention of retreating.

Escape!

If he didn’t flee now, he feared he would perish here today.

Ying Jian’s eyes were cold and venomous as he glanced at Jing Wangyou, then at Qin Yi.

His sinister gaze seemed as if it wanted to tear JIng Wangyou and Qin Yi into pieces.

Qin Yi’s eyes flickered with a cold light; striking when the enemy is weak was an opportunity he didn’t want to miss.

Ying Jian’s cultivation was too strong; such an opportunity would not come easily again.

"Swish!"

The Flood Dragon Spear pointed at Ying Jian, red light swirling around as it was about to strike.

However, the skeletal remains suddenly turned to look at him, its hollow eyes seemingly harboring two flickering golden flames, extraordinarily eerie.

Qin Yi’s whole body stiffened; he could clearly feel that if he made a move, the skeletal remains would attack him.

"Damn it, are you out of your mind? This old bastard isn’t any good, why protect him?"

Qin Yi was furious, his gaze fierce.

Of course, the skeletal remains didn’t answer Qin Yi, its hollow eyes staring unwaveringly at him.

Ying Jian was also bewildered; this skeletal remains had saved him twice now.

Could it be... this skeletal remains had some connection with the Sword Sect?

Ying Jian restrained his thoughts; now was not the time for this. He had to quickly escape from here.

"Qin Yi, Jing Wangyou, Evil Lord, we shall meet again."

"Do not move, if you dare act recklessly, beware of the skeletal remains."

Ying Jian felt somewhat smug; seeing Qin Yi’s fierce eyes made his heart feel a bit better.

He enjoyed seeing Qin Yi’s expression of hating him yet being unable to get rid of him.

"Paths cross again, we will meet once more."

"Next time we meet will be the day of your demise."

Ying Jian’s voice was cold as he slowly retreated, preparing to leave.

However, when he took a step back, the hollow eyes of the skeletal remains suddenly looked at him.

Ying Jian’s entire body stiffened, not daring to move again.

Jing Wangyou looked at Qin Yi, his gaze inquiring about the situation.

Qin Yi slightly shook his head; he didn’t understand either.

"Master, do not move; this skeletal remains is without consciousness, targeting only moving objects out of instinct."

The Blood Flood Dragon suddenly spoke to Qin Yi.

"What do you know?" Qin Yi asked.

The Blood Flood Dragon said: "Master, my ancestor passed their power to me. From their thoughts, I learned that this skeletal remains was once a remarkable personage."

"Their purpose here is to suppress the skeletal arm on Corpse Mountain."

"Therefore, as long as one moves around Bone Mountain, the skeletal remains will strike."

Qin Yi squinted his eyes slightly, so that’s how it was.

"Master, I meant to tell you after returning; I recently received my ancestor’s inheritance. Within it, there’s a powerful set of Eight Desolate Six Harmonies Spear techniques suitable for you."

Eight Desolate Six Harmonies Spear?

"Master, I’ll pass it to you right away."

"No rush, let’s wait until we’re out of here."

Qin Yi looked at Ying Jian, his gaze slightly flickering, having made up his mind.

Ying Jian noticed Qin Yi’s gaze, feeling uneasy, and was wary.

If he were at his peak, he would not fear Qin Yi. But now he was too gravely injured; one careless move might cost him his life here.

"Swish!"

Qin Yi stepped forward, his body like a flowing stream of light.

Ying Jian was so scared his face went ashen white.

But in the next second, he was stunned.

Jing Wangyou also looked shocked.

Only Evil Lord’s eyes glimmered with understanding.

Because Qin Yi wasn’t charging at Ying Jian, but towards the skeletal remains.

"Qin Yi, don’t!"

Jing Wangyou shouted, knowing well how terrifying the combat capability of this skeletal remains was.

Qin Yi was as fast as a stream of light, arriving in front of the skeletal remains in the blink of an eye, the halberd as sharp as a blade, striking directly.

However, the skeletal remains merely swayed slightly and vanished as a beam of white light.

"Bang!"

A figure tumbled out, rolling away.

"Damn it..."

Qin Yi’s mouth spurted blood foam as he crawled out of the crater, roaring furiously.

Ying Jian and Jing Wangyou looked shocked.

For the Qin Yi that charged at the skeletal remains was still there, so who was this cursing Qin Yi?

Two Qin Yis appeared on the scene.

Only Evil Lord understood that Qin Yi had used Clone Shadow Transformation.

He used a shadow to distract the skeletal remains, preparing to kill Ying Jian with a diversion tactic, beautifully executed.

Yet, the skeletal remains saw through it, ignoring Qin Yi’s shadow and locating Qin Yi’s true body precisely.

Thus, the Qin Yi, who was ready to ambush and kill Ying Jian, was swatted away by the skeletal remains.

Meanwhile, Ying Jian and Jing Wangyou both watched as the Qin Yi that had charged the skeletal remains dissolved like wind and sand, dissipating with the wind in the blink of an eye.

What kind of method was this?

Ying Jian and Jing Wangyou looked astonished.

However, the two quickly figured out Qin Yi’s plan.

Ying Jian’s heart grew cold; the skeletal remains saved him for the third time.

If not for the skeletal remains identifying Qin Yi’s true body, he might have already been killed by Qin Yi.

Qin Yi’s organs seemed to tremble with rage; he almost exploded on the spot.

Three times, he had three chances to kill Ying Jian, all ruined by this skeletal remains.

Qin Yi’s gaze was gloomy, staring at the skeletal remains. He realized that unless he dealt with this thing, killing Ying Jian would be impossible.

This skeletal remains could distinguish real from fake, indifferent to his shadow.

The skeletal remains seemed capable of sensing the presence of living beings, while the shadow, while having form, had no soul.

Qin Yi’s eyes gradually became fierce, glaring at the skeletal remains, and said sternly: "Whether you were a hero or a demon, but now you’re blocking me from killing Ying Jian, you are Qin’s enemy, so don’t blame me for being ruthless."

He didn’t believe it, a living human unable to deal with a dead one.

"Master, I beg you not to harm him."

"In the ancestor consciousness who imparted power to me, this person was once a hero standing tall against the heavens."

The Blood Flood Dragon suddenly spoke up to plead for the skeletal remains.

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched a few times, speechless.

"Get it clear, it’s not that I want to kill him, it’s him not killing me if I don’t kill him."

As he said this, Qin Yi’s facial features twitched a few times, and his fractured scapula started to hurt again.

"Master, I have a way; I will distract this skeletal remains, giving you the chance to kill Ying Jian."

Qin Yi’s gaze flickered with concern, "Can you outrun this skeletal remains? This thing’s speed is no joke."

"Rest assured, Master, he now has only residual combat instincts. I believe it’s not difficult to distract him."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Then be careful."

"Swish!"

The Blood Flood Dragon turned into a red light, racing past the skeletal remains.

Qin Yi simultaneously leapt up, charging at Ying Jian like lightning.

However, a flash of white light, the skeletal remains halted Qin Yi’s path, with just one punch, Qin Yi’s arm nearly exploded, flinging him away like a severed kite.

With a thud, half of his body was embedded into the sandy ground.
