Chapter 891 Using forbidden techniques, she can no longer use her space.
Chapter 891 Using forbidden techniques, she can no longer use her space.
The efficiency is high when using the space manager.
The sky above the Qiao residence flickered, and in an instant, the spatial teleportation was completed.
Now, the Qiao family members and servants walking around in the courtyard are nothing more than a projection.
But they didn't know that everyone was doing their job, the children were playing, the adults were resting and laughing in the warm room, everything was as usual.
Qiao Lian'er winked at Pei Shijiu, and Pei Shijiu knew that she was ready.
And it was a complete preparation.
He slipped away and landed beside Qiao Lian'er. Seeing that the Qiao family members had not entered the space, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"Sickle."
Qiao Lian'er raised her hand, stopping him from saying anything more.
Although Pei Shijiu didn't understand, she knew there was a reason behind it.
Having been by her side for years, the certainty emanating from her convinced him that she was confident in this situation.
Huo Xiu also fell from the eaves to the ground. Seeing that one of the two had stopped fighting and the other remained unmoved, he was also puzzled.
Could it be that she knew she couldn't defeat him, so she gave up resisting?
“I’m doing this on someone’s behalf, but I don’t want to cause trouble. If Princess Zhenguo were to commit suicide in front of me, so I could present your head as proof, I wouldn’t make things difficult for your family,” Huo Xiu said.
"Although you lost the second time we met, I still consider you my opponent. By committing suicide against me, you can save face for me, and I can also explain things to you without making the situation too ugly."
Qiao Lian'er chuckled; she had never heard such a funny joke before.
"Mr. Huo Xiu, please use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve."
Hearing such provocative and arrogant words, Huo Xiu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
He looked up at the inner courtyard of the Qiao residence, but nothing had changed; Qiao Lian'er hadn't made any arrangements.
How dare they spout such nonsense?
Huo Xiu no longer held back, activating his magic around him. His black robe and long hair fluttered and danced in the air.
A burst of fire shot from his palm, condensing into a fireball. The fireball grew larger and larger, leaping into the air and splitting into countless streams of fire, which then rushed towards the Qiao residence.
Pedestrians on the street could not see the firelight either. They only felt that the person's movements and postures were very strange, but they dared not approach and stopped a short distance away to discuss it.
"This person seems to be using some kind of sorcery."
"This is clearly just a charade. I've heard that people with real Taoist skills can summon wind and rain, but look, it's still blue sky, and there's not a breath of wind."
"But he clearly seemed very serious."
"That would be insane."
Huo Xiu paid no attention to the discussions of the passersby. As hundreds of streams of fire were about to fall on all parts of the Qiao residence, courtyards, back gardens, and houses, leaving no place unscathed, a smile crept onto his lips.
But the streams of fire suddenly stopped, as if blocked by a transparent barrier. They couldn't land on the object and start a fire, but instead disappeared into a virtual space.
Meanwhile, the Qiao family members inside the Qiao residence remained oblivious to the impending danger, continuing to do as they pleased.
Huo Xiu was startled and looked at Qiao Lian'er.
Qiao Lian'er wore a faint smile, as if she were enjoying his defeat.
"You've practiced magic too?" Huo Xiu asked incredulously.
"It's just a function of my space, which can teleport people and things in the real world. What you see now is just their shadow, so you can't hurt them."
"impossible!"
"Even if they are just shadows, I will burn them to ashes." This was the first time Huo Xiu had been provoked to such anger.
In his other hand, golden energy surged forth, condensing into a sharp golden spear, which he then thrust towards the sky above the Qiao residence.
With the spearhead pointing downwards, it descended with tremendous force, tearing through the air.
In the same location, the golden spear vanished like flames, as if it had fallen into another dimension, unable to cause any real damage.
Huo Xiu exclaimed in surprise and took a step back.
He realized that he was not fighting against Qiao Lian'er, but against a powerful magical artifact in her hands.
What she obtained by luck was far more powerful than the Five Elements magic he had painstakingly cultivated for thirty years.
Huo Xiu felt a heavy sense of frustration, followed by exasperation.
He had a feeling that no matter what kind of magic he used, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Qiao Lian'er and the people around her.
Taking advantage of Huo Xiu's momentary distraction, Pei Shijiu attacked again with his sword.
His eyes were sharp as knives, leaving no room for doubt.
Huo Xiu was immersed in frustration and it was too late to dodge. He could only barely deflect the sword that was aimed at his heart to his shoulder.
The sword strike was swift and ruthless, coming with overwhelming force. It pierced right through the shoulder, causing blood to gush out, as if the shoulder bone had been cracked.
Huo Xiu let out a muffled groan, raised his hand to grasp the blade, endured the pain and pulled the sword out, then disappeared into a cloud of mist, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.
As they watched a living person disappear, the surrounding people gasped in surprise. They were now certain that the tall, slender man in black robes was engaged in a magical battle.
His opponents were Princess Zhenguo and Prince Pei the Second.
Although the man in black robes was injured by the boy and escaped, some astute observers could already see that the composed and calm princess was the key to defeating him.
The man in black robes seemed intent on attacking the Qiao residence; his target was clear, yet he failed.
There must be something in the darkness that they cannot see or touch.
Everyone says that Princess Zhenguo is a divine being, and today I've experienced a fraction of that.
Song Ruier watched from afar, her face grim.
He originally thought that Qiao Lian'er would suffer serious injury if she faced Huo Xiu.
Who would have thought that even someone as formidable as Huo Xiu would still be defeated by her?
He felt a renewed sense of despair regarding Qiao Lian'er's strength.
When he returned to the small courtyard he was renting, Huo Xiuzheng was waiting for him in the hall. Huo Xiuzheng was clutching his injured shoulder with a gloomy expression.
"You've already become Qiao Lian'er's defeated opponent so quickly, how dare you come here?" Song Rui'er sneered, her tone contemptuous.
"You dare to spout such nonsense in front of me. I may not be able to beat Qiao Lian'er, but dealing with you is more than enough," Huo Xiu said quietly.
Song Ruier dared not be arrogant anymore, but his face showed no welcome.
"It seems you can't do anything about Qiao Lian'er either; she's much more formidable than we imagined."
“Even a king and a million soldiers can’t do anything to her, because what she possesses is too powerful.” Huo Xiu said, “However, I have a forbidden technique that can prevent her from using this thing. But everything in the world has its counter, and after I use the forbidden technique, I can no longer cast spells. At this time, I will have to rely on you.”
