Chapter 51: Is Xiaojiu a Girl? (Routine Vote Request)
The Dragon Armor Army leader's move was indeed quite helpless, having advised Your Majesty earlier that the Dragon Armor Army was enough, but unexpectedly Your Majesty still didn't feel at ease and sent this white-haired madman over.
Zi Bei absolutely cannot die. Once he's dead, this white-haired madman with a big background won't have any problems, but he'll definitely push someone out to take the blame, and an entire family will be in danger of losing their lives.
Leng Shui Feng was a top-grade warrior, and the core of his cultivation was a sacred-grade Dou Qi. Against the attack of the Dragon Armor Army's commander, this king-grade warrior, the icy armor on his body was enough to resist.
However, the move that Qi Bei had just used to cut off his pulse was one that left a shadow in Leng Shuangfeng's heart. The young man was only a mid-level warrior, but the energy between his fingers could break through his Dou Qi Ice Armor, almost causing him to capsize.
So when Long Jiajun's leader shot a large halberd, he countered with one sword.
It was this self-saving move that greatly reduced the power of his icy sword tip attack on Qi Bei and Jīn Gāng.
Zi Bei dragged Jin Gang and rolled on the ground several times, barely avoiding the sword's edge. However, the remaining momentum of the sword still swept across them, causing a layer of frost to form on their bodies.
At this moment, a circle of yellowish light suddenly burst out from the ground, two hands stretched out from it, grabbed Qi Bei and Jin Gang's feet and pulled them down, and in an instant, the two were submerged into the ground.
"Want to run?" The cold wind and icy gaze flashed, and he, along with his sword, turned into a streak of ice. That magic net was torn apart like a broken sack by him with ease.
Leng followed the wind and arrived at Qibei in an instant, where Jingang had disappeared. He let out a low growl, and the icy jade sword in his hand emitted a burst of cold mist that pierced into the ground, disappearing from sight.
Underground, Xiaojiu dragged Qibei and Jingang in a rapid escape, passing through earth and stone as if they were nothing.
Just then, a cold wave was following them and spreading, the soil and rocks were instantly frozen, causing Little Nine's speed to greatly decrease.
Suddenly, a sword shadow shot out and instantly pierced through Xiao Jiu's right shoulder.
Xiao Jiu let out a low hum, and the yellow aura around his body suddenly dimmed for a moment, but he immediately activated it again.
At this moment, the sword shadow suddenly returned and shot towards Qi Bei.
Qī Běi's face turned furious, and two dragon claws materialized into two golden dragon silhouettes, savagely clawing towards the sword silhouette.
With a "ting" sound, the sword shadow took shape, and it was indeed the Ice Jade Sword in Leng Sui Feng's hand. At this moment, the sword tip had a conical sword edge condensed with cold air, wanting to break through Qi Bei Long Zhao's resistance and pierce into his body.
"Roll!" Qi Bei roared in anger, and the dragon pattern on his left claw suddenly lit up.
The cold body on the ground suddenly shook, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. In an instant, his icy jade sword burst out of the ground, humming and trembling as it floated in front of him.
After a while, Leng silently reached out and grasped the Ice Jade Sword. He, who had always been as expressionless as an ice block, actually revealed complex emotions such as loss, surprise, and bewilderment.
"Seal off Qingye City, the earth-system mages will use their earth-escape technique to intercept from all sides. Even if they dig a hundred feet underground, we must catch Ziqi North." The commander of the Dragon Armor Army shouted loudly. Generally, the range of the earth-escape technique would not exceed ten miles, and the depth of the escape was also limited. With three earth-system mages in the Dragon Armor Army, there was still a chance to intercept Ziqi North.
But a dramatic scene appeared again, and the icy jade sword in Leng Sui Feng's hand shook, shooting out, with the sword tip pointing directly at the throat of the Golden Armor Army Commander.
"What are you doing, Leng Suifeng?" The leader of the Dragon Armor Army was both shocked and enraged. He had attacked Leng Suifeng earlier in order to stop him from killing Qi Bei, and also to consider the lives of his family. Now that Qi Bei was gone, how could he have the courage to take action against Leng Suifeng? The two were fundamentally not on the same level.
"Half an hour later, you can leave." Leng Suifeng said coldly.
Half a time, Qi Bei had long since disappeared into some corner, but facing the icy gaze of Leng Sui Feng that didn't carry even a hint of warmth, the leader of the Dragon Armor Army didn't dare utter half a word. Qi Bei ran away, at most he was criticized for being weak in pursuit, and would be demoted two ranks at worst, but if he didn't obey Leng Sui Feng's words, his throat would have an extra hole in an instant, which one to choose was already obvious.

Outside the city of Qingye, at the foot of a small hill, a circle of yellow light emerged, and immediately, three figures appeared on the ground.
"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu..." Qi Bei helped the heavily injured Xiao Jiu up, calling out to him while using his internal energy to seal off the blood vessels around his wounds, preventing more fresh blood from gushing out.
Xiao Jiu's arm moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately fell into a coma.
Zi Bei tore open Xiao Jiu's clothes on her shoulder, and the rounded shoulder that came out made him slightly stunned for a moment. Except for the wound on her shoulder, the rest of her skin was white, tender and smooth.
"Is Xiaojiao a girl?" Ziqi muttered to himself, and without thinking further, he quickly began cleaning the wound.
The flesh around the wound had been frozen by the cold air and had to be scraped off bit by bit before applying medicine and bandaging. Unfortunately, there were no light or water system magicians nearby, otherwise it would have been much simpler.
The wound was cleaned up, and Qi Bei couldn't help but satisfy his curiosity, slightly lifting the torn clothes, only to see that Xiao Jiu's chest was wrapped in layer upon layer of flesh-colored bandages.
"It's really a girl, the flat chest was actually wrapped up, and it seems that the voice was also deliberately disguised." Qi Bei thought to himself, using his internal energy to regulate the breath in Xiao Jiu's body, then fed her a medicinal pill.
Before long, Xiao Jiu coughed lightly twice and woke up.
She woke up and jumped up vigilantly, her left hand touching the bandaged wound on her right shoulder, silent for a while, still saying in a rough voice: "Thank you, master."
"It's me who should thank you, if it wasn't for your sacrifice, Jin Gang and I wouldn't have been able to escape smoothly. By the way, where is Thirteen?" Qi Bei said to her in a normal tone, pretending not to know her true identity as a woman.
Xiao Jiu looked around and said, "I had an appointment with Thirteen to meet at the forest two miles ahead, but because I was injured, I couldn't hold on any longer, so I came out of the ground ahead of time."
"Then let's go." said Qi Bei.
Xiao Jiu's figure flashed and he had already disappeared in front of Qi Bei and Jin Gang.
In a small grove two miles away, Qi Bei saw the Thirteenth, but Xiao Jiu did not appear again. However, Qi Bei could sense that she was just beside him, not far away.
"After going to Kashi City and meeting with my brothers, I will find that Gothic merchant group again. This young master will not forgive them for the hatred in their hearts." Qi Bei said gritting his teeth.
"We must kill them all." Jin Gang also roared.
"Don't worry, master. When you had me and Xiaojiu investigate this merchant group earlier, we had already planted some 'thousand-mile fragrance' on some of their guards and goods. It won't be hard to find them." Thirteen said.
"Very well." Qi Bei's eyes were filled with a fierce and murderous aura, his heart overflowing with killing intent.
Kashi Castle, about 800 miles away from Aoi Castle, belongs to the sphere of influence of Rikka. Rikka has always looked up to the Nod family, and it is unlikely that Emperor Hammers would pursue them there, so at that time, Qi Bei ordered more than 200 Black Armor Army to disperse and gather in Kashi Castle.
