After obtaining the Heavenly Tier Spirit Treasure, Li Qin's luck seemed to have run out.
Following that, the two of them did not manage to find much else, only some ordinary spirit herbs.
"Jiang Li, believe me this time, really, there's definitely something good in this direction!" Li Qin said weakly, following behind Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's mouth twitched. If they didn't find anything this time, he would start searching himself.
The two then walked deeper into the forest.
"Roar!!!"
As they walked slowly, a heaven-shattering roar echoed from the distance.
The roar was accompanied by the sounds of intense collisions.
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, here's a thousand-year Vermillion Fruit for you!" At the same time, a hurried, clear voice sounded nearby.
Jiang Li's pupils contracted. A peerless beauty in a black dress, her face pale, was flying towards him at high speed.
It was Tang Shiqi!
"Whoosh!!!"
Simultaneously, a red spiritual fruit, exuding potent spiritual energy, was hurled from afar.
Following it was a terrifying surge of spiritual power.
The spiritual fruit was shattered by the spiritual power the instant it reached Jiang Li and Li Qin.
The surging spiritual energy and the rich fragrance instantly enveloped Jiang Li and Li Qin.
Jiang Li felt his perception and vision surrounded by condensed spiritual energy.
An incomparably violent aura emanated from not far away, as if it intended to destroy everything.
Jiang Li's heart tightened. He quickly pulled Li Qin and they darted out of the area.
The moment they left the area of surging spiritual power, the Red Armored Demon Bear charged over from the distance, its target locked onto Jiang Li and Li Qin.
Jiang Li's expression turned grim. This Tang Shiqi was using him again.
*Good Junior Brother, once I break through, I will definitely avenge you.*
Having achieved her goal, Tang Shiqi's lips curved slightly as she continued to speed away, leaving only a lingering fragrance in her wake.
"Dragon's Roar Nine Heavens!!!"
A powerful aura erupted from Jiang Li.
The Crimson Flame Dragon Soul Spear appeared in Jiang Li's hand. A golden dragon soul, with a low dragon's roar, blasted directly towards the Red Armored Demon Bear.
This was a move from the [God Slaying Spear Technique], imbued with the power of the dragon soul and killing intent, its dominance unparalleled.
"Rumble!!!"
The body of the Red Armored Demon Bear was pierced by the colossal dragon soul.
A tidal wave of killing intent instantly flooded the demon bear's mind.
The Red Armored Demon Bear, already injured, was instantly overwhelmed by the killing intent, its massive body also blasted to pieces by the sheer offensive power.
Li Qin, standing to the side, stared at the scene with wide eyes.
Jiang Li's strength was too terrifying.
This was a fourth-tier Red Armored Demon Bear. Although it was severely injured, it was still a fourth-tier beast, and Jiang Li had directly annihilated it.
"My dear Senior Sister, no need to run, I've already taken care of the monster for you!"
After eliminating the Red Armored Demon Bear, Jiang Li directly charged in Tang Shiqi's direction.
Tang Shiqi, who was fleeing ahead, felt her scalp tingle. Jiang Li had eliminated the Red Armored Demon Bear?
How was that possible…
Reason told Tang Shiqi that Jiang Li was merely a cultivator in the Qi Gathering realm, incapable of even scratching the skin of the Red Armored Demon Bear.
Now, she was being told he had eliminated it? It was a joke.
However, if it wasn't true, why would Jiang Li have escaped so quickly and be chasing after her?
Whether it was true or not, it was best to run. This Junior Brother Jiang would likely not let her off easily, especially now that she was severely injured.
She had tricked him. If he truly decided to be ruthless, she might become the first Saintess of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect to be killed by an inner disciple.
"Junior Brother Jiang, thank you for dealing with the monster for me. When I return to the sect, I will definitely have the sect elders accept you as a direct disciple!" Tang Shiqi said in a charming voice, her steps not ceasing as she continued to flee forward.
Before her alluring voice had fully dissipated, Tang Shiqi felt a fierce aura surge from behind her.
"Boom!!!"
Tang Shiqi had no time to dodge and was instantly struck by the shockwave.
Hit by the impact, Tang Shiqi felt pain engulf her entire body, and she was sent flying, crashing into a nearby tree.
After a while, Jiang Li slowly approached.
Tang Shiqi's clothes were now tattered by the blast.
Her delicate skin and alluring body were exposed to the air in large patches, creating a rather suggestive scene.
Coupled with Tang Shiqi's enchanting face, it was truly irresistible.
However, Jiang Li was in no mood to admire the alluring scenery. He looked at Tang Shiqi with a cold expression.
"Senior Sister, after a few days apart, you are still so enthusiastic. The moment we meet, you present me with a thousand-year Vermillion Fruit!" Jiang Li sneered, the coldness in his eyes almost freezing the space.
Tang Shiqi looked at the cold-faced Jiang Li before her, her eyes filled with shock.
Did he really kill the Red Armored Demon Bear?
How was that possible? He was merely a disciple in the Qi Gathering realm.
However, this was no longer something Tang Shiqi needed to consider.
A large portion of Tang Shiqi's black dress was torn, and the remnants were no longer able to cover her proud bosom.
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, I… I'm sorry about what happened just now. I had no choice. I will compensate you!" Blood trickled from Tang Shiqi's lips.
As she spoke, Tang Shiqi looked at Jiang Li with an extremely seductive gaze, as if hinting at something.
Looking at Tang Shiqi, who was now completely defenseless, Jiang Li's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
This Saintess, who had been so aloof before, was now lying pathetically before him.
If he wished, he could end her at any moment. This feeling was truly good.
That Li Qin was truly my lucky star, finding such a good treasure for me.
"Wicked woman, you seduced my Senior Brother before, and now you're trying to seduce your own Junior Brother? Shameless!" an indignant voice called out from the distance.
The speaker was Li Qin. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and she glared at the dishevelled Tang Shiqi with an unfriendly expression.
"Bitch, since when did the affairs of our Yellow Springs Demonic Sect concern you!" Tang Shiqi's face turned cold upon seeing Li Qin beside Jiang Li.
"Jiang Li, these demonic cultivators are all bad people. Don't be deceived by her. Once she recovers, you'll be the first one she eliminates!" Li Qin continued speaking.
As soon as Li Qin spoke, Jiang Li and Tang Shiqi looked at Li Qin with strange expressions.
Immediately after, Li Qin seemed to realize something and quickly covered her mouth.
"Jiang Li, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about that wicked woman. You're so good-looking, you must be a good person!" Li Qin said weakly.
"Alright, Li Qin, stop talking and let me speak with Senior Sister!" Jiang Li said slowly to Li Qin.
Li Qin pouted, glared fiercely at Li Qin, and then remained silent.
Tang Shiqi looked at Jiang Li nervously. She knew her life was now in Jiang Li's hands.
"Junior Brother, I didn't do it on purpose. You know, I had no choice in the situation just now!" Tang Shiqi said, her body trembling slightly.
"Senior Sister Tang, given that we both belong to the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, I will give you two choices!"
