Chapter 178: A Shocking Attack
She scanned with her divine sense and saw that the Tuoba Ye before her was not an ordinary person, but a Qi Refining stage cultivator at the first echelon!
However, to her, there was no difference between a Qi Refining stage cultivator and an ordinary person.
"This senior, you jest. I do not possess any imperial weapon," Tuoba Ye quickly said to Ye Qinxian.
Although the elder named Li Xiaojun had told him that his spirit armor could withstand ten attacks from a Great Ascension stage saint, and had given him talismans claiming they could eliminate a Great Ascension stage saint, he did not know the specifics.
So now, confronted by a Great Ascension stage saint, he was naturally afraid.
However, he would absolutely not lend out an imperial weapon right away.
Who knows if she would return it after borrowing it.
What if she was from the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty? Lending out the imperial weapon would be like seeking death!
Perhaps seeing through Tuoba Ye’s concerns, Ye Qinxian immediately said, "You don’t need to worry. I borrow the imperial weapon to deal with the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty, and I will return it to you afterward."
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ye remained unmoved.
"Senior, you jest. I truly do not have any imperial weapon."
Hearing Tuoba Ye’s words, Ye Qinxian frowned.
"Since you won’t lend it, I will take it by force. Don’t worry; I will definitely return it to you after using it."
After saying that, Ye Qinxian quickly reached out towards Tuoba Ye.
As she extended her hand, an invisible force aimed to grasp Tuoba Ye.
At that moment, Tuoba Ye’s imperial weapon stirred.
Clang!
With a clang of sword sounds, the imperial weapon long sword shot quickly away from Tuoba Ye and flew towards Ye Qinxian.
Seeing this situation, Ye Qinxian’s expression changed dramatically.
Because she had already sensed the threat of the imperial weapon long sword.
She felt that if she took this imperial weapon’s attack head-on, she would be injured, if not killed.
So, she quickly retreated to dodge.
Fortunately, after she swiftly retreated, the imperial weapon only pursued for a short distance before stopping.
Ye Qinxian understood that spontaneous attacks from the imperial weapon required a large amount of energy, which was why it did not continue to chase her.
Ye Qinxian was correct; Tuoba Ye, being just an ordinary person, needed to recharge the imperial weapon with superior grade spirit stones.
Each time it was fully charged, the imperial weapon could only unleash its full power twice.
After two uses, the energy would be depleted, leaving it at the mercy of others.
Once the imperial weapon retreated, Ye Qinxian charged back in again.
She had noticed the weapon’s drawback, so she was confident she could seize the imperial weapon.
"Younger generation, I really just want to borrow the imperial weapon. I promise to return it once I’m done, and I can also give you a large reward…"
As Ye Qinxian tried to seize the imperial weapon, she attempted to persuade Tuoba Ye to compromise.
However, how could Tuoba Ye agree?
Not only did he have the imperial weapon attack Ye Qinxian, but he also quietly took out an attack talisman.
According to the elder Li Xiaojun, this kind of talisman could even eliminate a Late stage Great Ascension powerhouse.
Although he did not know if this was true, he recognized from the description that this talisman was very legitimate.
If it weren’t necessary, he wouldn’t want to use it at all.
In the sky, the imperial weapon and Ye Qinxian had already started fighting.
However, it quickly became clear that Ye Qinxian was gaining the upper hand.
The energy of the imperial weapon was gradually depleting.
At a certain moment, the imperial weapon released a full-power strike and then quickly flew towards Tuoba Ye.
The imperial weapon’s full-power attack forced Ye Qinxian to dodge awkwardly, but that was all.
Just as Ye Qinxian prepared to grab Tuoba Ye again to snatch the energy-depleted imperial weapon, suddenly, Tuoba Ye activated the talisman directly.
In the next moment, the talisman expanded with the wind.
Instantly, it transformed into a lightning-like bolt of lightning that shot swiftly towards Ye Qinxian.
Upon seeing this bolt of lightning, Ye Qinxian felt her scalp tingle with dread.
The next moment, she instantly threw out a substitute puppet.
She herself escaped at the fastest speed!
Boom!
The lightning-like bolt struck the substitute puppet, and much of the lightning power was consumed.
The remaining lightning power, as if it had locked onto Ye Qinxian, continued to pursue her swiftly.
A few seconds later.
Boom!
The powerful lightning power hit the fleeing Ye Qinxian.
Even though Ye Qinxian had summoned her strongest defenses, wearing low-grade spirit artifacts armor and multi-layer protective formation barriers,
under the attack of the lightning-like bolt, they were quickly penetrated one by one.
After the lightning power consumed a lot of energy, it ultimately struck Ye Qinxian’s body.
Moments later, Ye Qinxian’s body fell straight down, creating a large pit in the ground.
Since Ye Qinxian had escaped a great distance, Tuoba Ye did not witness this scene.
All he knew was that he pulled out a talisman and directly chased away a Great Ascension stage saint.
As for whether that saint was alive or dead, he had no idea.
However, if that saint came again, he would not hesitate to take out another talisman to attack.
In a forest dozens of kilometers away from Tuoba Ye, Ye Qinxian struggled to sit up.
Then she quickly pulled out various healing elixirs, throwing them into her mouth as if they were worthless.
After half a month, Ye Qinxian’s injuries finally improved a bit.
As a layer of blackened skin peeled away from her body, it revealed her delicate pink skin underneath.
"What kind of opportunity did that person obtain?"
Ye Qinxian was very puzzled; a mere mortal had actually forced her into such a situation.
Half a month ago, to withstand that talisman attack, she had even exhausted all her life-saving items.
This situation caused her to suffer heavy losses.
Several days later, Ye Qinxian removed the protective formation that surrounded her and stood up.
This formation had been set up while she healed, mainly to prevent wild beasts from intruding.
She scanned her surroundings with her divine sense and found a village not far down the mountain.
So, she decided to stay in the village for a while to fully recover her strength.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, she instantly transformed into an ordinary-looking young woman.
Soon, Ye Qinxian arrived step by step at the village.
She was seriously injured and could hardly fly.
"Hello, sir. Is there a place in your village to rent? I would like to rent a house," Ye Qinxian asked an elderly farmer at the village entrance.
"Rent? No one in our village rents houses. You should go somewhere else," the old man said impatiently before shouldering his hoe and walking away.
He still had work to finish in the fields and had no time to chat with anyone.
Seeing this, Ye Qinxian did not feel discouraged.
Her divine sense had already scanned a house that seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time.
So, she could easily buy the house with money.
She felt that this village was quite nice, so she planned to settle here in the future.
It would likely take her a decade to fully recover her strength, so she would be living here for the next ten years.
"Auntie, which home does that wooden house belong to? Is it for sale?" Ye Qinxian asked an elderly woman.
"Girl, what are you doing? You’re not from our village, are you?" the elderly woman asked in surprise.
"I’m not from here; I’m from another place. My hometown was washed away by a flood, and I can’t go back, so I want to buy a house here to settle down."
