Qi Hao was in a helpless situation.
But he had no choice but to face it bravely!
In an instant, he concentrated his mind, clearing away all distracting thoughts. In his eyes, there was only one opponent left! The sashes of Qi Hao's dress fluttered loudly, and as the spiritual energy surged, an intimidating chill filled the air.
Although he had been instantly defeated by Su Lingfeng before, the Sunflower Manual was incredibly mysterious and profound. Since he started practicing it, his cultivation level had been advancing rapidly almost every day. Qi Hao's cultivation had reached the Taiqing realm and he had already made remarkable achievements. Coupled with the strange nature of the Sunflower Manual, Qi Hao believed that even Dao Xuan wouldn't be able to gain an advantage in front of him!
Qi Hao's confidence returned in an instant! The Sunflower Manual was an invincible cultivation method in his eyes! He was by no means the same person he was a few months ago!
Twirling the embroidery needle, Qi Hao said in a delicate voice, "Sister Su, I'm going to attack. You have to be careful!"
Su Lingfeng's beautiful brows furrowed, and she looked at Qi Hao as if examining a bug. The sword light shimmered, and the killing intent was palpable.
"Bang ——"
Qi Hao moved instantly!
The greatest advantage of the Sunflower Manual lay in its speed and dexterity. While being fast, it could also move nimbly and quietly, which was its eerie aspect!
However, this time, Qi Hao's attack actually made the air explode. Obviously, he had given up the advantage of agility and concentrated all his power on speed. Although he had overcome his inner fear, he was still extremely cautious towards Su Lingfeng and didn't dare to show the slightest negligence. He was determined to use all his strength from the very beginning!
The two embroidery needles moved without any unnecessary gestures, stabbing straight at Su Lingfeng. Qi Hao's white and smooth fingers were in front of Su Lingfeng in the blink of an eye!
The silver needles were about to pierce Su Lingfeng's body in the next instant!
Qi Hao didn't expect that he had made such great progress. It hadn't been long, yet he could already suppress this woman! In his excitement, Qi Hao's speed increased even more!
The silver light stabbed forward.
"Whoosh ——"
Qi Hao's embroidery needle passed through Su Lingfeng's body, but strangely, it was as if he had missed completely, encountering no resistance at all! What he had stabbed through was just the air!
What was going on!
The illusory figure in front of him gradually faded, and Qi Hao's eyes widened in shock.
Was this, an afterimage?
Before Qi Hao could recover, a piercing pain erupted from his back. Even with the obstruction of the dress with butterflies playing among flowers on his body, that sharp sword qi still penetrated it and pierced his body. His bones creaked all over his body, and Qi Hao spat out a mouthful of blood. Ignoring the surprise, pain, and other emotions, Qi Hao smeared the blood in his hand, twisted the magic formula, and increased his speed again.
"It's useless. Your speed is no different from standing still in my eyes," Su Lingfeng said mockingly. Her figure suddenly appeared in front of Qi Hao, and with a sword strike, she slashed at his chest!
"Boom ——"
Qi Hao was directly sent flying this time. The speed at which his body retreated was even faster than when he moved on his own! The fear in Qi Hao's heart grew stronger and stronger. He had clearly become stronger! But why couldn't he defeat this woman in front of him!
Moreover, he was under even greater suppression than last time!
"It's impossible! Impossible! I, Qi Hao, am the most beautiful and powerful person! Aaaaah!!!"
Qi Hao shrieked in a sharp voice, his face contorted, and the spiritual energy in his body boiled violently. Su Lingfeng shook the sword in her hand and murmured, "So he made a mistake in his cultivation. I thought, how could there be such a perverted person!"
The two embroidery needles in Qi Hao's hands trembled. Suddenly, he inserted them into his own chest. His blood flow accelerated, and the spiritual energy surged. Qi Hao's momentum increased once again!
However, it still wasn't enough. Rays of light flashed on Qi Hao's body. With a low murmur of "Sunflower Escape," his speed increased by more than a hundred times compared to before!
His speed was as fast as lightning. Qi Hao circled around Su Lingfeng at high speed, as if countless people were surrounding her. Qi Hao's triumphant voice came from dozens of different directions, "How about it? Miss Su, can you see me now? Huh? Hahaha! Blind your eyes!"
Su Lingfeng shook her head slightly, closed her eyes, and no longer paid attention to the surroundings.
"Perhaps, I really should make a breakthrough this time,"
The entire world seemed to hold its breath as Su Lingfeng closed her beautiful eyes. Qi Hao suddenly had an illusion that his movements seemed to have been seen through.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Qi Hao shouted in his heart! This was an extreme speed achieved by sacrificing his lifespan to stimulate his potential and control the escape technique. How could it be seen through!
"Impossible!!!"
Qi Hao's figure suddenly moved, rushing forward at a speed that almost exceeded the limit. Because it was a speed beyond his own limit, his bones creaked as he moved.
"Hah!"
Qi Hao's speed was very fast, extremely fast, so fast that even he could hardly catch it. But Qi Hao clearly saw that Su Lingfeng reacted immediately the moment he made a move. Everything about him was under the control of the other party!
"Clang ——"
The powerful force almost broke Qi Hao's arm. Qi Hao retreated immediately. He didn't even care that the embroidery needle fell to the ground. He quickly took out a new one from his In the arms and made a defensive gesture.
Fear filled Qi Hao's heart. He had never expected that this woman would be so powerful!
What should he do!?
Qi Hao endured the damage caused by the secret technique and thought about countermeasures. Finally, he seemed to think of something, and a sinister smile appeared on his face again.
"Originally, this was prepared for Lin Xing. Since I met you today, I'll use it in advance!" Qi Hao had always held a grudge against Lin Xing for embarrassing him in the Seven-Pulse Martial Arts Competition. In fact, a large part of the reason why he practiced the Sunflower Manual was because of Lin Xing!
But now, with his life at stake, he had to use this ultimate move quickly!
Qi Hao waved his hands urgently, taking out hundreds of embroidery needles from his In the arms. They traced dazzling paths in the air. A sharp spiritual energy that could pierce through everything was attached to them, as if ready to be launched at any moment!
"Junior Brother Lin Xing?" Su Lingfeng's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the killing intent in her eyes towards Qi Hao became even stronger.
Qi Hao shouted secretly, "Attack!"
Hundreds of silver needles were launched, all aiming at Su Lingfeng. Qi Hao's strange and enchanting face was filled with extreme excitement!
"Clang clang clang clang clang ——"
Then, a flash of light passed, and a chaotic sound erupted all at once. Hundreds of Qi Hao's hidden weapons were blocked! Su Lingfeng's purple sword shimmered, and it seemed that she was doing it with ease!
"It's not over yet!" Qi Hao gritted his teeth in hatred. He spat out another mouthful of blood and used some secret technique again. The scattered silver needles flew back and attacked Su Lingfeng again.
"Hmm?" Su Lingfeng blinked her eyes, as if she had thought of something. She wasn't in a hurry to kill Qi Hao anymore. She slowly raised her purple sword and began to deal with these hidden weapons.
"Clang clang clang clang clang ——"
"Damn it! Again!" Qi Hao spat out another mouthful of blood and counterattacked again.
"Clang clang ——"
"Again!" Qi Hao couldn't spit out blood anymore. He resolutely cut his wrist and continued to contribute to the "blood donation cause"...
"Clang ——"
I don't know how long it had passed, but when Su Lingfeng's sword strike landed, there was only one sound. Her sword moves seemed to be more agile and smooth.
Unfortunately, Qi Hao was dizzy and couldn't see clearly. He could only tell from the uniform sound that Su Lingfeng seemed to have made a breakthrough!
"H-how could this be!" Qi Hao said weakly. He cut his wrist again, but no blood could flow out anymore...
Looking at the terrifying purple figure in front of him, Qi Hao began to regret it. He should have known better than to come to the imperial palace in the first place. There were eunuchs everywhere in the world. Why did he have to come here? Was the magnificent life of Miss Qi going to end like this... Damn it!
