"Qingque... Qingque, Qingque!"
Levi came back to his senses, turned to look at Stelle, and asked, "What?"
"Well, my pulls."
Looking at Stelle awkwardly scratching her head, he calmly spat out a single word.
"Get lost."
"Got it!"
After receiving the order, Stelle happily ran toward the back and said to the Cloud Knights guarding the area, "You all heard it just now. Your commander told me to get lost."
Seeing that the Cloud Knights had no intention of stopping her, Stelle stepped forward. The next second, someone pulled her back.
"It's too dangerous, hurry back!"
March 7 forcefully dragged Stelle back to where she was.
As Stelle's companion, she absolutely wouldn't allow her to take the risk of leaving alone.
"Uh, it's not really dangerous. There are Cloud Knight guards everywhere."
"Exactly! There are Cloud Knights everywhere, each with those shiny weapons in their hands. Too dangerous! You should stay here with us."
"..."
"Jing Yuan."
"?"
Hearing the call, Jing Yuan looked over.
Levi was staring at him without blinking, his dead fish eyes wide open.
"Promise me. Next time you have time, go roll yourself into the Shackling Prison and inspect those dangerous criminals personally."
"?"
After hearing that, Jing Yuan slowly put out a question mark.
What did the cleanup of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus have to do with the prisoners locked up in the Shackling Prison?
The Ten-Lords Commission hadn't reported that any prisoner had escaped either.
Without answering Jing Yuan's confusion, Levi looked at the Cloud Knights preparing to step forward and put shackles on Dan Shu and the others, then shouted, "Stay away from her!"
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn by his words.
He flashed behind Stelle. Feeling the extra shadow behind her, the corner of Stelle's eye twitched.
"It's me again!!!"
Bang!
Her body staggered forward and knocked Dan Shu to the ground.
Before Dan Shu could react, Levi sent Stelle flying away again. He looked down at the fallen Dan Shu, his eyes turning cold.
"Prepare..."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out.
The moment the sound appeared, Levi vanished from Dan Shu's side together with Stelle.
Just as he expected, those vines capable of draining people's life force appeared once again, and he returned Stelle to the Astral Express crew.
Arriving beside Jing Yuan, he tilted his head, signaling him to identify what this thing was.
The vines were blocked in midair and temporarily lacked the strength to break through the protective formation Levi had set up. They could only dance around Dan Shu.
Seeing this scene, Jing Yuan fell into thought.
'Shackling Prison, vines...'
"Hiss!"
As if realizing something, Jing Yuan sucked in a cold breath.
If that fellow had really revived, then...
"Recognized it?"
"Shuhu?"
Under Jing Yuan's gaze, Levi nodded slightly and said directly, "At most, I can only hold it back for a quarter of an hour."
That was under the condition that it hadn't drained everyone's life force.
If it succeeded like what they had just seen...
Forget a quarter of an hour, they'd just be dead on the spot.
...Meaning all of them.
"No, no, no...", Dan Shu's struggling voice rang out.
"I am your believer. I am your most loyal believer..."
Her voice gradually weakened and disappeared completely.
Unlike the previous time when a sapling had "grown," this time Its birth was built upon Dan Shu's corpse.
Nothing useful was left behind.
Only a skeleton remained on the ground.
There wasn't even a trace of flesh on it. It was so clean that even the neighbor's dog would shake its head after seeing it.
"A quarter of an hour...", Jing Yuan muttered.
The time was a bit short. He didn't know whether he alone could defeat Shuhu in its current state.
Just as he was about to act, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind.
Turning around, Jing Yuan saw Fu Xuan and Yanqing rushing over with Jingliu, Blade, and Dan Heng, who had regained Imbibitor Lunae's power.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
These people gathering together was somewhat beyond his expectations.
The key point was that they hadn't started fighting.
"..."
Levi noticed the seriousness still lingering on his face and asked in confusion, "Didn't I tell you our reinforcements would arrive in one minute?"
After thinking briefly, facing Jing Yuan's gaze, Levi slapped himself on the head.
"It's fine. Just pretend I forgot to mention it."
Seeing the sapling restrained in place, Jingliu recognized it first. Under the black veil, her pupils almost shrank into pinpoints.
She lightly tapped the ground with her toes, instantly widening the distance from the others.
Every time her feet touched the ground, it was as if she appeared far ahead in an instant.
As she was about to approach, her fingers clenched slightly.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
The Transient Blossom appeared in her hand.
Even though it was broad daylight, a bright full moon appeared in the sky above.
"I take the moonlight as my sword and grant you... death!", Jingliu's voice was icy.
Countless sword lights appeared in the space around the sapling, completely surrounding it with no escape.
It didn't dodge at all.
The sword lights Jingliu unleashed only managed to leave wounds on Its body.
With the powerful regenerative ability of an Emanator of Abundance, after only two or three breaths, the wounds had already disappeared.
An Emanator was still an Emanator.
Just a small piece of flesh could create the Abundance Dragon.
Even though It had only just revived, Its vitality far surpassed every enemy they had encountered.
"Die!"
Jingliu didn't care about any of that.
She continuously swung the blade in her hand, leaving countless sword scars behind the small Shuhu.
But not a single drop of blood flowed from those wounds.
Crack!
The barrier restraining Shuhu shattered, yet the crazed Jingliu showed no intention of retreating.
Levi frowned.
He glanced at the group behind, who were running over ridiculously slowly.
"Tsk~"
'This is rough, really rough... Without me, what would you people do?'
[Ding Dong!]
[Stelle: What now?]
Jingliu slashed with all her strength so many times and still couldn't kill It. The wounds healed without much effort.
Against an enemy like this, they might really get wiped out here today.
Levi's thoughts moved.
[Levi: Watch my moves!]
"Great Expansion of Heaven and Earth..."
After the full moon appeared in the sky, the clouds above also began to change.
They revolved around a point like a vortex.
Fu Xuan suddenly slammed on the brakes and looked toward the hand stretched toward the sky, still maintaining the hand seal.
'Damn it, Qingque!'
And she still said she didn't know martial arts.
She had seen it with her own eyes. Let's see how she talks her way out of this now.
The real Qingque suddenly felt a chill rise up in her heart.
She shrank her neck.
'Why do I have a bad feeling... Levi, do a divination for me.'
"Something good will come looking for you tomorrow."
After saying that, his eyes sharpened.
"Formation, rise!"
The sky above and the earth below simultaneously displayed illusory patterns before they vanished into the void.
Levi lowered his hand and looked at Jingliu, slightly moving his wrist.
The next second, she was teleported from Shuhu's side to in front of Jing Yuan.
Smack!
Jing Yuan dropped to one knee and clasped his hands together, catching the blade that Jingliu had fallen onto.
The two looked at each other.
Master and disciple meeting again in such a situation made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Mainly because Jing Yuan felt awkward.
Jingliu's cold face revealed nothing of what she was thinking.
"Why did you stop me?"
Pulling her sword out of Jing Yuan's hands, Jingliu questioned Levi.
She had noticed his movement just now and knew that her sudden appearance before Jing Yuan was his doing.
"Don't get too close." Levi shook his head at her. "Be careful not to get eaten."
