Chapter 85 Misunderstanding 1
With a low shout from Yan Qing, the flying swords surrounding him instantly transformed into countless sword beams, pointing directly at the stars below.
The flying swords that hurtled toward Xingji at breakneck speed drew silver trails in the air, and the cold light emanating from their blades caused the surrounding temperature to drop considerably.
However, Xing did not show the slightest fear when faced with Yanqing's powerful attack.
Instead, she calmly watched the flying swords hurtling towards her.
She gently clenched her right hand, and a blazing flame immediately appeared in her palm.
The flames seemed to have a life of their own, leaping merrily in her palm and radiating waves of heat.
Then, the flame in her palm gradually began to deform.
In an instant, the flames changed completely, and a burning amber-colored lance appeared in her hand.
At this moment, Xing, who was carrying a lance, underwent a complete transformation in his demeanor.
Her resolute face and upright posture made her, holding the lance, resemble a Valkyrie standing tall in the wind and snow.
Faced with Yanqing's attack, Xingjiang held his lance upside down, the tip pointing towards the ground.
The flame flickered slightly at the tip of the spear, as if responding to her movements.
The flames that ignited on the tip of the spear rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a burning crimson shield that stood before Xing.
"Clang clang clang clang—"
Yanqing's flying swords rained down like raindrops, colliding fiercely with the large shield and producing a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds.
However, Xing's fiery shield stood like a solid city wall, completely blocking the flying sword's attack.
At this moment, Yanqing's attack followed closely behind. Almost at the same time as the flying sword attacked, he had already arrived in front of Xing.
His longsword sliced through the void, its tip flashing with a chilling light, and struck Xing's indestructible shield of flames.
"Clang!"
A crisp and loud metallic clang echoed in the sky above Liuyun Ferry.
Yanqing's longsword collided with Xing's fiery shield, sparking a burst of sparks.
"...Ugh!"
With the violent collision, a huge reaction force was transmitted along the hilt of the sword to the web of Yanqing's right hand.
A strong numbing sensation quickly spread up his arm, causing the hand holding the sword to tremble slightly.
In contrast, Xing's fiery shield only flickered slightly during the collision and did not undergo any substantial changes.
"That's enough!"
Just then, Walter Young's authoritative voice suddenly came from behind Xing.
The sudden sound caused Yanqing to pause involuntarily for a moment.
He quickly adjusted his gaze, moving past the star in front of him to focus on Walter Young behind him.
He raised his cane and lightly tapped the ground; the ornate cane was radiating a purplish-red light.
Upon seeing this, Yanqing felt a sense of danger creeping into his heart.
Just as he was about to retreat, a tremendous gravitational force suddenly came from the ground, suppressing everything around him like a black hole.
His body thus lost control and was mercilessly pulled toward the ground by gravity.
"I'm sorry, this is the only way I can force you to stop."
Walter Yang slowly walked up to Yan Qing, looked down at him lying on the ground looking slightly disheveled, and said softly.
"Hey!!"
Yanqing braced himself on the ground with both hands and let out a low shout.
His whole body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying to get up from the ground under the pressure of gravity.
The contorted expression on his face revealed that he was enduring unbearable pain.
However, no matter how hard Yanqing struggled, the powerful gravity kept him firmly fixed to the ground, making him unable to move.
"Sigh, why did you do this?"
Just as Yanqing was still struggling, Lin Qiong walked over slowly and then squatted down in front of him.
"You won't listen when I explain, and you'll be unhappy if we really fight."
"If this were anywhere else, I might praise your swordsmanship."
Lin Qiong shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of teasing and regret.
"But this is a celestial vessel, so all I can say is that you still need to practice."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing's expression changed slightly. Under the pressure of gravity, he struggled to turn his neck to look at Lin Qiong, his eyes filled with a hint of resentment.
"Are you... saying I'm... not strong enough?"
He squeezed out those words through gritted teeth, his words revealing an indomitable spirit.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong spread his hands and smiled faintly: "I didn't say that, I just suggested that you practice more."
"After all... Luofu is a place where hidden talents abound, and you won't find anyone stronger than you; they're just more low-key."
"you......"
Just as Yanqing was about to refute Lin Qiong, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
"Yanqing, the Valiant Guard!!"
With that shout, a soldier dressed in the uniform of the Immortal Boat Cloud Cavalry hurriedly ran towards them.
But when he saw Yanqing lying on the ground, he was stunned for a moment, and his steps faltered, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.
"Yanqing Xiaowei, didn't you come here to wipe out the 'Abundant' monsters? What's going on here...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the Yun cavalryman's gaze suddenly fell on Lin Qiong, who was squatting to the side.
The moment he saw Lin Qiong, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Hey! Who are you, daring to attack Yan Qingxiaowei?"
As he spoke, the Yun cavalryman picked up his weapon, preparing to step forward and capture Lin Qiong.
"Wait...wait!" Yan Qing interrupted the Cloud Cavalry soldier, "Didn't you just mention...the 'Abundant' monstrous creature?"
Upon hearing this, the Cloud Cavalryman froze in his tracks.
He looked at Yanqing with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he would suddenly bring this up.
However, he still nodded and confirmed, "Yes...yes, when I asked you for help, before I could even finish speaking, you immediately came this way on your flying sword."
"Oh—" Hearing this, March 7th said in a drawn-out tone and a teasing tone, "So it was a misunderstanding. You didn't listen to what he said and just assumed we were the attackers."
At the same time, upon hearing this, Walter Yang gently raised his cane, and the purplish-red light emanating from the cane dimmed, releasing the gravity applied to Yan Qing.
Yanqing immediately felt a lightness in her body, as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from her heavy body, making her feel light and agile.
He quickly got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and then bowed deeply to Lin Qiong, Xing, March 7, and Walter Yang.
"I am very sorry that Yanqing's oversight has caused everyone unnecessary misunderstanding."
"Oh, it's nothing." March 7th waved his hand dismissively and laughed easily, "We're used to it. It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up."
Yanqing's guilt remained after hearing this, and he repeatedly bowed to Lin Qiong and the others, sincerely expressing his apology.
Just then, a clear and melodious female voice, like a silver bell, suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
"Oh dear, that fight just now was quite intense, but it seems those 'abundant' creatures have all been dealt with."
