Chapter 2319 - 2322: Yan Lingshuang Bows Her Head

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

That Demon King's aura was overwhelming. Facing Yan Lingshuang, he didn't hesitate in the slightest, going straight for the kill as three streaks of True Qi howled toward her!

Yan Lingshuang's Dan Tian Qi Sea had already been invaded by Poisonous Gas. Suspended in midair, she desperately resisted the Demon King's assault, but with just these three moves, she already knew: with her Dantian damaged, she was absolutely no match for this terrifying Demon King!

Bang!

Her defensive True Qi was shaken back by the Demon King. Yan Lingshuang felt her whole body jolt, and then that last surge of his aura swept over her, instantly leaving her unable to withstand it. Her entire body was blasted straight out of the air!

This burst of power was like a storm. Yan Lingshuang was sent flying far from midair, actually being thrown several hundred meters away!

After landing, Yan Lingshuang didn't hesitate at all. She was already poisoned and could no longer contend with this Demon King, so at the very first moment she directly circulated her Qi to flee far away.

"Want to run? Impossible!"

Seeing Yan Lingshuang try to escape, the Demon King's low voice rang out, and right after that, his black figure surged forward in a frenzied pursuit!

Yan Lingshuang cast layer after layer of defensive True Qi, but against this mysterious Demon King it seemed completely useless. After repeatedly blocking, just as the Demon King was about to catch up to her, she took a punch in midair and her whole body plummeted from the sky!

Thud!

Yan Lingshuang hit the ground and staggered back dozens of steps before blood finally began to spill out.

"Let's see where you can run!"

As Yan Lingshuang landed, the Demon King's figure descended right behind her.

However, at the moment the Demon King landed, he froze.

Not only the Demon King—Yan Lingshuang was stunned as well.

Between the trees where the two of them landed was a huge boulder, and beside that boulder a man was currently sitting, eating lunch.

Qin Tian had originally been resting and eating behind the boulder, preparing to delve deeper into the Black Abyss. He hadn't expected that suddenly, in the distant sky behind him, True Qi would flare!

Just as he reacted and was about to prepare for battle, Yan Lingshuang crashed down, landing right in front of him, her face deathly pale—it was obvious she'd been grievously injured.

And behind the boulder, the instant he landed, that Demon King also sensed Qin Tian's aura.

As the Demon King and Yan Lingshuang both stood there stunned, Qin Tian wiped his mouth, put the braised spirit deer meat back into his Storage Bag, glanced at Yan Lingshuang, then at the Demon King, and gave a faint smile. "You two, pardon the interruption, I'm just having lunch here."

All of the Demon King's rage was focused on Yan Lingshuang at the moment. He snarled, "Get as far away from here as you can, or I'll eat you alive!"

"Alright, alright, I'll get lost, I'll get lost, sorry to bother you."

Qin Tian turned and nodded to the Demon King, then slowly started walking into the distance, thinking to himself, Damn, how did the fight end up here? Wasn't Yan Lingshuang at that mysterious black lake over ten kilometers away just now?

"You're just going to leave like that?"

Just as Qin Tian was about to leave, Yan Lingshuang's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Qin Tian stopped and said, "Yeah, what else? I don't have a habit of playing the nosy hero. Pardon the interruption."

The same three words, "pardon the interruption," made Yan Lingshuang feel a chill in her heart.

Right now, she was seriously injured. She had originally thought she was doomed to die, but by sheer accident she'd run into a Disciple from the Seven Great Immortal Sects who had just parted ways not long ago. She couldn't recall his name, but Yan Lingshuang assumed that, as fellow Disciples of the Seven Great Immortal Sects, this unfamiliar man would surely help her.

Yet she hadn't expected Qin Tian to simply turn around and leave, swinging his sleeves as he walked off without so much as a cloud following him!

Yan Lingshuang's face grew even paler.

She knew that if Qin Tian walked away, today she would definitely die here.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Lingshuang spoke. "Senior Brother, I'm a Disciple of the Spiritual Spring Immortal Sect. You're also a Disciple of the Seven Great Immortal Sects. Could you…help me?"

Heh, now you remember to come begging me for help?

Hearing Yan Lingshuang actually call him "Senior Brother," Qin Tian found it hilarious. Earlier she'd acted all high and untouchable, but now, faced with the threat of death, she'd compromised with someone she'd looked down on like him?

Thinking about it, he was indeed her only lifeline right now, so her compromise was understandable. But Qin Tian was still pissed.

"Help you?" Qin Tian stared at her. "Why? You probably don't even know my name, and yet you talk about us being from the Seven Great Immortal Sects together?"

Qin Tian's words left Yan Lingshuang frozen on the spot.

On a normal day, she would definitely have ignored Qin Tian and turned to leave.

But today, she wanted to leave—and couldn't.

"Senior Brother…help me this once, and I'll remember your name from now on."

Though she was deeply unwilling inside, at this moment, facing Qin Tian, Yan Lingshuang had no choice but to bow her head.

Heh, I thought you weren't afraid of death.

Qin Tian chuckled inwardly and said, "I can help you, but you'll have to pay me."

"What kind of payment?" Hearing that, Yan Lingshuang immediately felt a surge of anger—she hadn't expected to run into such a petty, mercenary guy.

Although she found Qin Tian extremely annoying, right now Yan Lingshuang had no choice but to swallow her pride.

"You'll owe me a favor. In the future, whenever I need your help, you'll help me with everything you've got. And on top of that, give me ten million in protection money."

Whoosh!

Qin Tian opened his lion's mouth wide, leaving Yan Lingshuang utterly dumbfounded.

Owe him a favor?

And ten million in protection money?

"What do you mean? You can just ask for anything in the future and I'll have to agree?"

Yan Lingshuang looked at Qin Tian's wicked grin. Her first instinct was to refuse, but after a moment's hesitation, she said, "As long as it doesn't go against basic morality, I can help you."

After all, Qin Tian would be risking his life to help her, so she endured it. "As for that ten million…protection money, you mean High Grade Spirit Stones? Fine, I can give them to you."

"Heh…have you two finished chatting?"

At this moment, the black figure to the side looked on coolly at Qin Tian and Yan Lingshuang's seemingly endless conversation, then let out a cold laugh. "Brat, if you don't leave, I'll kill you along with her!"

"Alright!"

Qin Tian nodded. "Oh no, handsome, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to her."

Qin Tian turned back to Yan Lingshuang and said, "I'm saving your life today, Yan Lingshuang. Remember this—you owe me, Qin Tian, a life-for-life favor!"

"Qin Tian…"

Yan Lingshuang committed Qin Tian's name to memory.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Just as Qin Tian finished speaking, the black figure behind him stirred up a violent gale as it came crashing down on him!

"Damn, a sneak attack!"

Qin Tian turned around, his triple-layer True Qi Shield instantly rebounding toward the Demon King!

At the same time, the Heavenly Thunder Formation he'd long since primed burst forth with a howl!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

As the Demon King closed in on Qin Tian, a peal of thunder exploded in the sky!

"Hm?"

With the arrow already nocked, the Demon King suddenly felt the aura of a Formation envelop him. His brows furrowed. "A Formation!?"
