he Seventh Heaven Layer, there were only seven or eight sects within the entire range. Each sect occupied five to six mountain ranges. Whether it was resources or spiritual energy, they were all quite...Chapter 359: Creation Without Extremes!!
Little White suddenly turned around, and Du Ren and Xie Yujia, who were sitting on its back, immediately saw Qin Shaoyang floating high in the sky.
From his appearance, it seemed that he had taken over Su Han's responsibilities to patrol the areas below the Fifth Layer of Heaven but just happened to run into Hao Ren and Xie Yujia while patrolling the Second Layer of Heaven.
"What do you want"
"Want"
Qin Shaoyang sneered, "This place is beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. You intruded into the Fifth Layer of Heaven without permission; for this alone, I can charge you with a crime!"
During this period, Qin Shaoyang always wanted to take revenge on Hao Ren, but with Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 active in the school campus, Qin Shaoyang didn't dare act recklessly.
Ironically, fate had it that while patrolling the gray zone between the First and Fifth Layers of Heaven, he just happened to run into Hao Ren sneaking out from the Fifth Layer of Heaven!
"Intruding into the Fifth Layer of Heaven is enough to be charged with a crime"
Hao Ren countered.
"I now suspect that you are a spy for human cultivators. Come with me to the Dragon Deity Temple."
Qin Shaoyang's eyes suddenly shone, and the golden shuttle under his feet shot out a beam of golden light.
Crack!
Seeing Qin Shaoyang reach out to grab him, Hao Ren sitting on Little White immediately struck his hand away. "You dare resist arrest!"
Qin Shaoyang was enraged, and the gold light on his palm turned white.
"Little White!"
Hao Ren clamped his legs tightly around Little White.
Whoosh...
Little White's claws emitted a burst of colorful light as it sped away in a flash.
Qin Shaoyang's hand grabbed at empty air; he immediately pursued Hao Ren with all his might!
Hao Ren was fully aware that he still held the position of assistant investigator, and if Qin Shaoyang really managed to catch him and drag him to the Dragon Deity Temple, it would be difficult for him to explain himself, and there was a risk of being labeled as a spy. At this critical moment when the situation in the East Sea Dragon Palace was extremely precarious, such an incident could make him the target of everyone's blame!
Little White's evasion speed approached that of a Core Formation cultivator, but Rank KUN-level Qin Shaoyang was also at the late-stage Core Formation realm. As Little White carried Du Ren and Xie Yujia while fleeing and Qin Shaoyang pursued, a long-distance chase unfolded in the Second Layer of Heaven!
"As expected of a thief who feels guilty; stay here!"
Qin Shaoyang's golden shuttle under his feet suddenly shot out.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
Hao Ren, prepared for this, unleashed all the sword beams in his Dao Sword.
"Break!"
With Qin Shaoyang's power driving it, the golden shuttle, a treasure under his name, suddenly expanded by hundreds of times, deflecting Hao Ren's sword beams one after another.
Luckily, Hao Ren's light was condensed from spiritual energy and could only move according to his will. It wasn't a true name magic treasure; otherwise, with this one attack alone, it would have been enough for Hao Ren to spit out three liters of blood.
"Little White, come on!"
Xie Mianjia couldn’t help but yell.
Chiou chiou...
Little White anxiously called out as it tried its best to increase speed. But no matter what happened, Little White was only a first-stage spiritual beast. Even with the aid of flying magic treasures, it still couldn’t shake off cultivators of the Earth rank!
The golden shuttle was delayed in midair due to the sword light's obstruction before immediately pursuing Hao Ren.
Bang!
A powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted. Xie Yujia, who had been sitting behind Little White, opened her arms wide and activated the power of the life-and-death talisman to its fullest extent.
Heaven and earth in perfect harmony; creation without end!
Xie Yujia was originally seated towards the back of Little White. Now that Little White was fleeing forward with Qin Shaoyang pursuing from behind, and the golden shuttle shooting over, Xie Yujia was the first to face this magic treasure.
But instead of dodging or avoiding it, she opened her arms wide and faced it head-on!
"Seize!"
Qin Shaoyang hurriedly recited the incantation.
The golden shuttle grazed past Xie Yujia’s ear, directly severing several strands of her hair.
Qin Shaoyang sucked in a sharp breath and nearly had his heart stopped from fright.
Xie Yujia was someone who had been specially marked by a grand cultivator at the Spirit Formation stage. If he accidentally killed Xie Yujia, that Spirit Formation-stage grand cultivator would tear him to pieces!
Human and dragon cultivators kept their distance from each other, but Spirit Formation-stage cultivators were above both factions as the strongest of them all. Even dragon cultivators had to yield three steps for a Spirit Formation-stage cultivator!
The reason was that when it came to true powerhouses, there were no rules at all! Fortunately for Qin Shaoyang, the Spirit Formation-stage matriarch wasn’t in this world. Otherwise, based on Qin Shaoyang causing Xie Yujia’s hair to fall out, she would have immediately taken decisive action!
In just a few seconds of hesitation, Little White had already carried Hao Ren and Xie Yujia away for several thousand meters.
Qin Shaoyang watched as Hao Ren gradually turned into a black dot in the distance. After some thought, he decided to pursue again—while it was indeed troublesome having Hao Ren with Xie Yujia, missing this opportunity would make catching Hao Ren even harder next time!
Sitting at the front, Hao Ren looked back and stored several talisman sword lights. He didn’t know that Xie Yujia had just sacrificed herself to block the golden shuttle for him; he was still puzzled as to why Qin Shaoyang suddenly stopped chasing.
In reality, his urging Little White to escape wasn't out of fear of Qin Shaoyang but worry over Xie Yujia getting caught up in it!
A Magnitude Earth cultivator wouldn’t have any chance against a Rigid Earth cultivator, and since Qin Shaoyang was pursuing under the guise of apprehending a suspect, he could use lethal force. Hao Ren might be able to withstand Qin Shaoyang’s powerful strikes, but Xie Yujia, just at the Energy Condensation stage...
The golden light once again rushed towards Hao Ren.
"Little White, take Yujia and run!"
Hao Ren leaped up from Little White’s back.
Sword energy quickly formed under Hao Ren’s feet, carrying him as he charged toward Qin Shaoyang’s golden light!
"Little White, turn around! Otherwise I won’t care for you!
Xie Yujia also hurriedly issued an attack command.
The little white dragon hesitated for a few seconds but couldn't bear to part with Hao Ren, immediately turning back.
At this moment, Hao Ren's old Dao sword light split into two strands and charged at Qin Shaoyang in a combined dragon-shaped attack!
Bam... It directly hit the fiercely charging Qin Shaoyang, leaving him disheveled!
"Yin-Yang Life-Death Talisman!"
Xie Yujia's clear voice followed.
Black and white light swept through the second-layer sky's clouds and mist, rolling up Qin Shaoyang's golden shuttle!
The heavens and earth Yin-Yang, creation without limit!
Xie Yujia's cultivation was at the Qi Refinement stage, yet the Life-Death Talisman left to her by the old lady could unleash a Nascent Soul-stage technique!
Qin Shaoyang felt his primary magical treasure's connection with his body severed and suddenly panicked!
If he hadn't been mistaken, Hao Ren was at the Earthshaking stage while Xie Yujia was at the Qi Refinement stage. Yet, following them closely himself, he had fallen into their counterattack trap.
Bang! Bang!
The sword light forming two formidable Spiritual Energy attacks hit Qin Shaoyang from left and right again!
Throughout this entire process, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia cooperated seamlessly!
A fierce fireball from the little white dragon also shot toward Qin Shaoyang's chest—infused with the true essence of three-flavor true fire.
In the Five Elements theory, fire overcomes metal.
Especially so for the three-flavor true fire within true flames!
To extinguish the three-flavor true fire could only be done with乾坤真水 (Heaven-Earth True Water) or ten-thousand-year ice.
The suddenly unprepared Qin Shaoyang instantly burned away a bunch of hair, even his eyebrows were scorched halfway. If it weren't for the little white dragon being just Tier One Spiritual Beast and Qin Shaoyang already at the Earth stage, this strike alone would have been enough to make Qin Shaoyang's meridians紊亂 (disordered).
"Yin-Yang Life-Death Talisman!"
"Two Dragons Emerged from Water Formation!"
Chirp! Chirp!
The three waves of attacks almost simultaneously repeated!
Lacking his primary magical treasure, Qin Shaoyang was barely able to stand steady in the sky. The Life-Death Talisman equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage and sword array equivalent to Earth or even Metal stages, as well as a fireball comparable to a Core Formation cultivator's all-out attack, dealt several more severe blows to the completely unprepared Qin Shaoyang.
"Sir, great hit!"
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉's cheering suddenly appeared nearby.
Qin Shaoyang, who had been struck by Hao Ren's dozens of sword lights and flown out several dozen meters, knew he was completely finished upon seeing the appearance of the Lu sisters.
Zip... Zip...
(Note: The last line "咻……咻……" has not been translated as it appears to be sound effects or onomatopoeia for which an exact translation is difficult without more context.)
The black and white auras in Lu Linni and Lu Lili's hands were heading towards Qin Shaoyang.
The golden bell diamond they had given Hao Ren was now tied around Xiaobai’s neck. So, upon sensing Xiaobai’s panic, they immediately came to search for him.
However, their arrival coincided with the moment when Qin Shaoyang crashed into Hao Ren's sword formation.
Fighting desperately to retreat, Qin Shaoyang suddenly felt his limbs being restrained and all of his mana draining out of him like a dam bursting. "What are you doing"
Qin Shaoyang cried out in alarm.
Just as he had said, this was an area that ordinary people could not reach and also one where other cultivators wouldn't pass through. If Hao Ren wanted to do something to Qin Shaoyang, no one would know about it!
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyang couldn’t help but shout out loud, "I am an Inspector!"
"An Inspector Haha, seems like you can't control us then!"
Lu Linni and Lu Lili giggled as they flew to Qin Shaoyang's side, each grabbing half of his shoulder.
A shock went through Qin Shaoyang’s mind. Indeed, Lu Linni and Lu Lili did not belong to the Dragon Clan’s system, and were also Heaven-Earth Realm experts!
"You’re outnumbering me," said Qin Shaoyang as he held a desperate distress charm in his hand.
When an Inspector encountered danger while on duty, they could release this charm for nearby Inspectors to come to their aid. The signal would also be transmitted directly back to the Dragon God Temple’s interior.
However, there was only one Assistant Inspector, Hao Ren and the Formal Inspector Su Han left in this eastern sea territory.
Qin Shaoyang didn’t expect Su Han to come save him. Moreover, he did not wish for his embarrassing situation to reach the Dragon God Temple!
The only regret he had was underestimating Hao Ren's cunning and falling into a trap set by him.
Moreover, Hao Ren hadn't been that strong just one month ago!
"So what if it’s an unfair fight"
Lu Linni twisted Qin Shaoyang's ear as she shouted.
Everyone knew that Lu Linni had infused her hands with spirit energy, and this time, Qin Shaoyang was in so much pain he nearly gritted his teeth. It felt like his ears were being ripped off!
Since becoming an Inspector—or ever since birth—he had never been pulled by the ear before!
This was absolutely mortifying!
"Alright, if you want a fair fight, I’ll give it to you."
The black pupils in Lu Linni’s eyes turned as she said.
The spirit energy rapidly draining from Qin Shaoyang's body abruptly stopped.
He still had enough spirit energy left for a Quake Realm cultivator. However, his Dragon Pearl only kept open the number of acupoints it originally possessed after opening several new ones.
"Young Master Hao wants to fight you fairly!"
Liu Linni shouted at Hao Ren.of you. The remaining seven will be reserved as future rewards." Hao Ren took out a vial from his芥子空間 (jì zǐ kōng jiān) and placed it on the lectern.All the cultivators' eyes were fixed on this white...
