Chapter 726 - 161: The Madman Has Truly Gone Mad! (Third Update)
The broken rope was shattered into pieces, scattered all over the place.
But Wei Molili roared and charged at the four of them. The sudden turn of events left them with no time to question Ji Yaohua. Didn’t he claim that the rope from his family couldn’t be broken even by a powerful Spirit Beast?
"Get out of the way!" Mu Qingge’s eyes darkened as she spoke to the others.
At the same time, she grabbed Xi Qianxue’s wrist and ran with her in the opposite direction. Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze fled toward the other side. The quick reactions of the four made Wei Molili miss his target, which only enraged him further.
"Cough, cough." Xi Qianxue covered her chest, coughing lightly.
Mu Qingge turned her eyes towards her and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xi Qianxue pursed her lips and shook her head, giving her a smile, "I can still hold on, there’s no need to worry about me."
Mu Qingge, however, said coolly, "You shouldn’t use Spiritual Power for the next three days."
Xi Qianxue gave a bitter smile.
In such a situation, not using Spiritual Power would be akin to waiting for death, wouldn’t it?
As she was getting lost in her thoughts, Mu Qingge’s voice came again, "Find a place to hide first, leave this to us."
She looked up in surprise, only to see Mu Qingge’s clear and calm eyes, which offered an inexplicable sense of reassurance.
Xi Qianxue was a bit lost in thought, subconsciously nodding.
The renewed sounds of battle snapped her back to reality. She then realized that Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze had already engaged in combat with Wei Molili again.
"Heh heh, didn’t know before, but now I do. You’re the mysterious top of the Green Talent List. I’m eager to learn from you," Ji Yaohua chuckled sinisterly.
Ying Ze chimed in, "The chance to spar with the top is truly rare."
Though they spoke casually, Mu Qingge and Xi Qianxue knew that they were no match for the frenzied Wei Molili.
Without much thought, Mu Qingge was about to go support them.
Just as she moved, she felt her wrist being pulled. She turned back to see it was Xi Qianxue who had grabbed her arm.
Xi Qianxue’s eyes looked strange. They were not like the usual calm waters, but instead, they shimmered with gentle affection.
She looked at Mu Qingge and softly said, "Be careful."
Those gentle and caring words felt like the worry and longing a wife might have for her husband going to battle.
Mu Qingge felt a bit strange, a deep discomfort within her heart.
But she couldn’t say anything, so she only nodded silently, pulling her wrist out of Xi Qianxue’s hand. She kicked off the ground, making her way over, with gold and silver light flashing in her right hand as she grasped the Linglong Spear.
She did not immediately join the fight but stayed aside to oversee the battle.
Ji Yaohua’s fan was a Holy Artifact, and every swing carried a powerful force.
However, Wei Molili seemed to have a body of Copper Skin Iron Bone. The strikes from the fan only resulted in the sound of metal clashing, without any apparent damage to him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wei Molili didn’t have a weapon; his body was his best weapon!
This was something everyone in the Middle Ancient Realm knew.
Yet, no one would have thought that the frenzied Wei Molili could metalize his entire body, rendering even Holy Artifacts ineffective.
Ying Ze was struck and flew through the air, spitting blood before crashing into the distance.
Mu Qingge’s gaze narrowed as she looked in Ying Ze’s direction. At the same time, Wei Molili landed a punch on Ji Yaohua’s chest, causing it to cave in. Blood foamed from his mouth, and his body bent like a prawn, crashing to the ground like a shooting star.
Mu Qingge swung the Linglong Spear, helping him reduce the subsequent impact.
"Cough, cough. I can’t beat him!" Ji Yaohua stood on the ground, holding his chest, eyes filled with reluctance but having to admit defeat.
Mu Qingge stood in front of him, facing Wei Molili, and said to Ji Yaohua, "It’s normal you can’t beat him. His cultivation is at the Golden Realm Second Layer; losing isn’t shameful."
Ji Yaohua gritted his teeth, "Not only that, but he’s also gone mad and seems even stronger. You have to be careful."
Mu Qingge nodded silently and told Ji Yaohua, "You’ve suffered a serious injury; you shouldn’t fight anymore. Leave him to me, and keep an eye on Xi Qianxue and Ying Ze."
Ji Yaohua nodded with a serious expression, "Be cautious, and try not to let him get close. Also, since he’s Wei Molili, we can’t kill him; otherwise, it would be hard to explain to the Wei Family. Knock him out first, and if that doesn’t work, then kill."
The last two words carried a hint of killing intent in Ji Yaohua’s tone.
In her heart, Mu Qingge also didn’t want to kill Wei Molili; she wanted to find out what caused his condition. After all, they were going into the Ancient Battlefield, and if they could discover why Wei Molili ended up like this, it would serve as a warning to them, preventing them from falling into the same unknown trap!
After a quick exchange, as Wei Molili charged towards them, Mu Qingge lifted the Linglong Spear and went to meet him.
As soon as she moved, flames ignited on her body.
In an instant, those flames disappeared, replaced by a beautiful set of Flame Armor that made her look even more imposing and valiant.
Silver Spear Fire Armor, Mu Qingge’s long hair drew a sleek arc in the air as she agilely and boldly attacked Wei Molili.
Ji Yaohua took an Elixir and came to Xi Qianxue’s side, and by this time, Ying Ze had also come over.
The three of them watched Mu Qingge and Wei Molili’s battle.
When Mu Qingge’s spear tip emitted a pure golden shine, Xi Qianxue exclaimed, "Has she already broken through to the Golden Realm? Last time, during the duel, she was only at the Silver Realm Third Layer!"
She was shocked by Mu Qingge’s cultivation speed and even more so by her talent.
However, Ji Yaohua noted the ’last time during the duel’ in her words, and his curiosity was piqued.
He looked at Xi Qianxue and tried to ask nicely, "Goddess Xi, did you know Qingge a long time ago? Have you even dueled? Uh, I mean before Luoxing City two years ago?"
Xi Qianxue glanced lightly at his face and said nothing, unwilling to cooperate.
This left Ji Yaohua very frustrated. He continued to pester, "Goddess Xi, did you have some story with Qingge? Could you tell us? We are all brothers of Qingge, and will definitely not spread it around! I swear."
Xi Qianxue still ignored him.
Ying Ze couldn’t stand it and stopped him, "Your brother is fighting for his life, and you still have the heart for gossip."
Ji Yaohua felt embarrassed, gave Xi Qianxue an awkward smile, and glared at Ying Ze, forcibly extinguishing his curiosity.
Mu Qingge and Wei Molili kept battling, from the sky to the ground and back to the sky. She felt the might of Wei Molili’s Copper Skin Iron Bone, and as a light golden color appeared on his skin, it confirmed her belief that Wei Molili possessed an Innate Golden Spirit Root!
```
A heavy punch came down, hitting Mu Qingge’s Linglong Spear. That enormous power forced Mu Qingge to retreat repeatedly, widening the distance between the two.
Mu Qingge’s eyes remained calm. Wei Molili’s strength and defensive capability stirred in her a feeling of eager anticipation.
Suddenly, she put away the Linglong Spear and charged toward Wei Molili with bare hands.
"What is Qingge doing! Why did she put away the Linglong Spear!" Ji Yaohua exclaimed, her expression changing dramatically.
Xi Qianxue’s eyes also showed deep concern. She almost held her breath, unwilling to take her eyes off Mu Qingge even for a moment, fearing she might miss a slight movement or fearing that she might get hurt.
Ying Ze’s thick brows furrowed and his lips pressed into a thin line. Although he did not speak, he was equally worried about Mu Qingge.
In his heart, there was a faint reproach for her recklessness and arrogance!
Yet, regardless of the concerns of others, Mu Qingge knew exactly what she was doing.
She rushed to Wei Molili, meeting his sharp eyes hidden under messy strands of hair. In each other’s eyes, the burning battle intent was the same, except she lacked the cold killing intent of Wei Molili.
Bang bang bang!
Fists and feet clashed, Mu Qingge’s fists collided heavily with Wei Molili’s fists, but neither gained the upper hand.
Wei Molili’s punch landed on Mu Qingge, but it was instantly devoured by the Flame Armor on her body, unable to harm her at all.
These ineffective attacks further fueled Wei Molili’s madness.
However, Mu Qingge merely smiled, her moves becoming even faster.
The two were evenly matched, and the three people on the ground could only see two figures flashing back and forth, unable to distinguish who held the advantage.
Mu Qingge’s clear eyes reflected Wei Molili’s frenzied state.
Her hands gathered power continuously, attacking Wei Molili’s body. She needed to break his defense to subdue him!
Suddenly, Mu Qingge changed her fists to Phoenix Eye Fist, integrating the fist technique she had learned in her past life at this moment. All her power converged on the Phoenix Eye, striking repeatedly at Wei Molili’s chest.
She attacked precisely, regardless of where her punches came from, every punch landed in the same spot.
In an instant, she launched a thousand punches at Wei Molili. As Wei Molili’s fist power blew her long hair, it continually fell upon her, yet the majority of the strikes on her torso were absorbed by the Flame Armor, while the punches on her limbs were painless considering her current body.
Crunch!
A crisp sound echoed next to Mu Qingge’s ear.
It sparked a dazzling light in her eyes as she grabbed Wei Molili’s collar with one hand, ignoring his counterattacks, while the other hand continued to use the Phoenix Eye Fist, attacking the same spot relentlessly.
Crunch—!
Another crisp sound, even louder than the previous one.
Wei Molili let out a painful scream, the golden glow on his body shattered by Mu Qingge, vanishing into nothingness.
Having broken Wei Molili’s defense, Mu Qingge pressed her advantage, throwing a full-force punch at Wei Molili. Wei Molili took the hit and spat out a mouthful of blood, his body shooting out like a cannonball.
But Mu Qingge immediately chased after him, attacking again...
"Qingge’s strength is incredible!" Ji Yaohua looked at Ying Ze in shock, adding, "Even your Giant Power Bloodline might not match up!"
Actually managing to break Wei Molili’s defense with bare hands!
At this moment, Xi Qianxue quietly remarked, "The top spot on the Green Talent List needs to change."
Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze both froze upon hearing this.
Indeed! It’s going to change!
When they first encountered Mu Qingge, what Realm was she in? In less than three short years, she had already surpassed them all.
"It seems I need to cultivate seriously. Otherwise, I’ll end up being badly beaten by this little monster, Qingge." Ji Yaohua sighed.
Ying Ze remained silent.
Mu Qingge’s dominance was the biggest blow to him. However, instead of giving up, Mu Qingge’s strength further fueled his competitive spirit.
While the three spoke, Mu Qingge had already returned with Wei Molili in hand.
She landed on the ground, throwing Wei Molili to the side, and the Flame Armor on her body instantly vanished inside her.
"What did you do to him?" Ji Yaohua looked at the unconscious Wei Molili, asking in shock.
Mu Qingge replied casually, "Don’t worry, he won’t die."
Ying Ze squatted down to check Wei Molili’s breath before confirming to Ji Yaohua and Xi Qianxue, "He’s just fainted."
Ji Yaohua’s face grew even more amazed as he said to Mu Qingge, "You actually knocked the top of the Green Talent List unconscious... You’re impressive!" After saying that, he gave Mu Qingge a thumbs-up.
Mu Qingge, however, had no time for idle chatter. She spoke seriously to the three, "I did a quick examination. He’s mentally disturbed, possibly due to poisoning."
"Poisoned?"
"He’s poisoned!"
The three looked at her in shock.
Mu Qingge pressed her lips together, nodding with her brows furrowed, "I’ve never seen this kind of toxin before. It seems to specifically target the mind. Those poisoned become mad like him, gradually losing their nature and humanity. What happens in the end, I’m not sure, but I suspect they completely transform from a person into a beast."
Her words cast a silence over the three.
They felt a bit terrified; someone as strong as Wei Molili had fallen victim here. This news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to their training that had yet to officially begin.
"Is there any way to save him?" Ying Ze asked.
Xi Qianxue nodded, "Even if we can’t cure him, if we can wake him up a bit, it would be good. At least we can find out what he encountered and why he was poisoned. Knowing the cause would help us find a solution, and we can be more cautious."
Mu Qingge slowly nodded, pondered for a moment, and said to the three, "Complete recovery is temporarily impossible. However, I can make him slightly conscious."
This statement brought some relief to the three.
Ji Yaohua suddenly chimed in, "Qingge, you actually know medicine! Those Divine Level Elixirs you sell in Luoxing City, were they made by you?"
Mu Qingge just gave him a ’idiot’ look.
