Chapter 264

"Qin Ran?"

Long Qiqi, who believed she was destined to die, hurriedly opened her eyes upon hearing this name and followed Jian Yuanjie's gaze. Sure enough, she saw Qin Ran's figure there.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

"Weren't you thrown into the mist?" she asked loudly, tears still not dry at the corners of her eyes. "How did you get out?"

Qin Ran's clone died within three minutes of being thrown into the Land of Immortal Legacy, and even his remnant soul was eaten by the Ghost Monkey. Qin Ran was affected, and his head was still buzzing at this moment.

"Yes, I got out," he nodded to Long Qiqi.

"No! It's impossible!" However, Jian Yuanjie shook his head repeatedly as he looked at Qin Ran, saying, "You couldn't have escaped from the Chi Snake... and the Ghost Monkey... and..."

Although Qin Ran's face was pale and his head hurt a bit, and although he felt a bit weak, it didn't affect him from setting a trap for Jian Yuanjie based on his words.

"The Chi Snake? The Ghost Monkey?" He sneered disdainfully and said to Jian Yuanjie, "Do you think you can fathom my strength? They are nothing more than a Chi Snake and a Ghost Monkey. I can suppress them with a snap of my fingers! Even the Blood Dragon Bone only dares to watch from afar. Who do you think I am?"

Looking at his proud expression, listening to his contemptuous tone, and considering the fact that he really came out of the Land of Immortal Legacy, if Jian Yuanjie were an ordinary person, he would probably have speculated like this in his mind:

Could it be that the Qin Ran usually seen in the sect is just a disguise, and that Qin Ran is actually some old monster hidden in the Dao Sword Sect?

Following this line of thought, seeing the bloodstains at the corners of Qin Ran's mouth and his pale face, one could infer that perhaps Qin Ran had already fought a fierce battle with the creature in the mist in the short time just now.

Unfortunately, Jian Yuanjie was not an ordinary person.

He did think like that, but his thoughts raced too fast. While he was thinking that way, he also considered another possibility.

What if Qin Ran isn't some old monster? What if Qin Ran doesn't have much strength? What if he just happened to escape from the mist?

As a result, Jian Yuanjie arrived at another conclusion: Qin Ran must be seriously injured at this moment. He's just putting up a front, pretending to be strong, and deceiving him.

Jian Yuanjie's mind was spinning, and in an instant, he saw Qin Ran finish speaking and quickly bowed forward, sincerely and fearfully saying, "I don't know what the headmaster thinks, but I have been disrespectful and said some rude nonsense. I apologize and request the headmaster's forgiveness."

Seeing Jian Yuanjie's appearance, Qin Ran immediately understood. His "intimidation" tactic had failed! Because someone like Jian Yuanjie, an old fox, wouldn't immediately turn and run away, which meant he still had a trick up his sleeve.

Or perhaps, he still wanted to fight, still had his own ideas about Qin Ran.

Qin Ran sneered inwardly, pretending not to know. He glanced at Jian Yuanjie from the corner of his eye and said coldly, "Who am I? How could I be on the same level as you?! Fine, I'll spare your life. Go and save yourself!"

This was his way of sending Jian Yuanjie away. Jian Yuanjie understood. He confirmed his second guess, that Qin Ran must be seriously injured at this moment. His actions were just a pretense to appear strong.

He still had a chance.

"Thank you, Senior, for your magnanimity and forgiveness of my wrongdoing." He performed a deep bow, then straightened his back and walked forward.

However, after taking two steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He stopped and turned back, approaching Long Qiqi.

Were Qin Ran's injuries severe?

No, they were not. If Qin Ran's injury were severe when his clone was harmed, then how could he casually put his clone in harm's way?

So why did Qin Ran pretend to be seriously injured?

Because Qin Ran was afraid Jian Yuanjie would escape.

As a fellow practitioner, Qin Ran knew that individuals like them possessed skills specialized for escaping. Jian Yuanjie might not be able to defeat him, but he would certainly be able to flee from his grasp.

How can we kill Jian Yuanjie without deceiving him into coming here?

But to deceive someone like Jian Yuanjie, we need to let him discover the loopholes himself, to make him believe that he found the loopholes on his own. And then, we slowly approach, playing along with his calculations...

Qin Ran evaded Jian Yuanjie's shuttle-like attacks as if it were a dream, and she dodged his sword with her ethereal movement like a flying immortal.

Li Shiyin, how could she not teach Qin Ran such a miraculous body technique like the "Flying Immortal Asks the Dao"? It was her favorite escape spell.

"Ah!"

In the next moment, Jian Yuanjie let out a miserable cry as his beloved left hand had been severed.

"Qin Ran!"

He roared in anger, only now realizing that he had fallen into a trap.

He quickly dropped his sword and pulled out the Qiankun Bag tied around his waist, then shook it vigorously...

"Buzzing..."

Suddenly, a buzzing sound filled the air around him, and a dense swarm of bees appeared!

Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bees!!

A fourth-level demonic beast, but in the form of a bee swarm!!!

Qin Ran quickly picked up the fallen Long Qiqi from the ground, held her sword, and flew backward for two zhang.

"I knew you were treacherous to the core. It's not so easy to deceive you!" Long Qiqi, being held by Qin Ran, laughed loudly.

But Qin Ran, looking at the Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bee swarm surrounding Jian Yuanjie, her face turned solemn. She said, "It seems I can't defeat him..."

Long Qiqi turned her head to look.

There stood Jian Yuanjie, his left hand severed by Qin Ran, blood gushing out, and the swarm of Phoenix Wing Blood Head Bees flying around in the rain of blood, feasting on it!
