The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder Chapter 147.1 – Chihen

147.1 – Chihen

Qi Qiqi gasped slightly.

The pattern on the surface of the sword Sky Asunder in her hand is radiating faintly discernible light and the sword body is sporadically emitting flame tongues.

The current Sky Asunder is far better than it used to be.

It was magically processed by Xue Qilin a while ago. Now both sides of the sword are engraved with a complex magic array, turning it into a spiritual item.

As long as true qi is injected into it, Sky Asunder can resonate with the outside fire spiritual qi. By condensing fire spiritual qi, flames can be derived.

“Huh… ahhh…”

Qi Qiqi took a deep breath and exhaled, pacifying her disordered breathing a little.

In front of her, there is a weird, huge figure.

Radiating a metallic sheen, a sturdy-looking hoof was lifted, and then took a gentle step forward.

Along with this action, it… or rather, he, slowly emerged from the shadow cast by the branches and leaves of trees and submerged into sunlight.

The muscles of the slender limbs are rippling, but they inexplicably exude a bit of gentle beauty; the scattered long reddish-brown mane shines like oil; the soft horsetail flicking left and right is whistling through the air.

If it were only this, anyone would think that the one confronting Qi Qiqi is just a fine steed.

However…

Instead of a horse head, what is a slender male upper body extending from the base of the neck.

This is a martial demon who displays its true form and human form at the same time.

“Are you from Spirit Moon Valley?”

Qi Qiqi raised Sky Asunder and pointed at the huge monster that is twice as tall as her in front of her.

She locked her gaze on the other person, observing his every move.

From the fight just now, Qi Qiqi learned that the other party comprehended martial arts He wields the fangtian ji [1] in his hand so expertly, that he isn't at a disadvantage when confronting her, who is quite confident in her swordsmanship.

But when it comes to martial demons comprehending martial arts, the only thing that come to mind is Spirit Moon Valley.

“What a surprise.”

His long reddish-brown hair is fluttering in the wind. Under the sharp gaze of Qi Qiqi, he placed the fangtian ji on his shoulder.

Drawing a frivolous arc on his mouth, the centaur feigned a sigh.

“Although I had long expected that I would be confused for a person from Spirit Moon Valley one day, but I never expected that is would feel so sickening…”

He complemented his words with a gesture of retching, looking like he's disgusted with Spirit Moon Valley.

“Well… it doesn't seem to be a lie.”

Qi Qiqi nodded, secretly relieved.

If the other party was really from Spirit Moon Valley, then it would likely mean that Spirit Moon Valley is participating in this attack against Merak Temple and even the entire Martial Demon Realm Trial by Fire group. As a result, things would have been troublesome… especially since the purpose of Vajrayana people is unknown.

“So are you saying that you're not from Spirit Moon Valley?”

However, if he isn't from Spirit Moon Valley, then where did he learn such a superb polearmship? Qi Qiqi looked at her waist involuntarily.

There is a cut in her clothes, exposing a wound on the tender fair skin. It's a gash made by the fangtian ji's tip.

The wound is shallow, and it already stopped bleeding. But Qi Qiqi feels that it's rather irksome. Because it's proof that despite trying her best and even using magic, she couldn't beat the opponent.

Although they can't be seen now, but there are actually several sword wounds left by Qi Qiqi on the centaur's back… Naturally none of them are fatal.

The most severe wound on his body is probably the bruise on his abdomen. That bruise was left by Xue Qilin's kick.

“Superficial.” The centaur shook his head mockingly, “Really superficial.”

Qi Qiqi thinks that the other party is trying to provoke her.

In the face of provocation, it is best not to respond. But she still can't help but wonder.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

The centaur dug in his ear with a little finger, and then flicked the earwax at Qi Qiqi. The latter evaded with a look of disgust on her face.

“Hey, what else can I mean?”

“How objectionable. I feel like you're underestimating me…” Qi Qiqi frowned, “Don't be mistaken, of course I understand the meaning… I'm asking why are you saying that I'm superficial.”

With a chuckle, the centaur cast a contemptuous glance at Qi Qiqi.

“How funny, martial demons who understand martial arts are from Spirit Moon Valley… isn't such a narrow-minded view superficial?”

“I'm sorry, I'm indeed superficial. But if there's someone to blame, than it's you for not stating things clearly.”

Probably not expecting the enemy apologize, the centaur was suddenly taken aback.

“Then can you tell me? Where did you learn martial arts?”

“Are you trying to figure out my identity?”

Qi Qiqi is silent, which can be taken as a tacit agreement.

“Do you know what's inside Martial Demon Realm's abyss?”

Martial Demon Realm's abyss – a place where humans rarely step into.

“Are you a martial demon from Martial Demon Realm's abyss?”

“Anyhow, you attack to kill, yet then put on a kind face. You humans… are really hypocritical.”

Qi Qiqi sighed, feeling a headache.

“You are wrong, I didn't intend to kill you.”

The centaur was stunned for a moment, and then laughed immediately after. Qi Qiqi knitted her eyebrows, feeling like she is being mocked.

He wiped away the tears that came with the laughter and uttered in amusement, “Hey, don't make me laugh. I am a martial demon, while you are a human.”

Things really are developing in this direction… Qi Qiqi feels helpless. Originally, she was concerned about the barrier between humans and martial demons, so she deliberately softened her attitude and tried to settle things through dialogue. However, at this time it seems that the other party has no intention of talking things out.

Qi Qiqi couldn't help but ask herself – is there nothing else but hatred between humans and martial demons?

She doesn't think that is the case. But the current situation is rejecting her long-held view.

“But it's really interesting!” Finally finished smiling, the man said with an ineffable expression, “Your attitude is unlike someone who has just suffered a sneak attack.”

You don't have the right to say that to me, do you? Qi Qiqi ridiculed secretly.

He suddenly patted his forehead.

“No, the really strange thing is us, right! We haw been going blow for blow just a moment ago, yet now are chatting leisurely. Strange, really strange!”

“That means there is still room for dialogue between us. So tell me, why have you suddenly attacked us?”

The centaur retracted the frivolous expression on his face, and for the first time assumed a stern expression. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Are you seriously asking me this?”

Qi Qiqi took a deep breath, and then nodded heavily.

“I don't like to make jokes under such circumstances.”

The centaur snorted disdainfully, expressing an unveiled antipathy.

“Are you really stupid, or do you fake stupidity? Where do you think this is? This Is Martial Demon Realm, the homeland of us martial demons! You invade our land, yet then question why we attacked you? Don't you find it ridiculous?”
