Ambush, Ye Jingqiu in Danger

Chapter 26 Ambush, Ye Jingqiu in Danger

As dusk fell, the sky turned fiery red.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl wore a bright red halter dress that accentuated her beautiful figure. She had black hair and clear, bright golden eyes beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows.

Beside her was a silver-haired boy who looked about the same height as her. He was tall and slender, with a handsome face with sharp angles beneath his silver, tousled hair.

Those silver eyes stared straight at her, as if the girl's image was the only thing in them.

"Lu Si'en will be on vacation soon. Are you going home for summer vacation this year?" Ye Jingqiu turned her head and unexpectedly met a pair of tender eyes. She was stunned and lowered her head somewhat uncomfortably.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Si'en's lips curled up slightly without being noticed. "A few days ago, my elders sent word that I need to go back home this summer."

After saying that, Lu Si'en kept an eye on Ye Jingqiu's expression, but she just nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell Uncle Ju later."

Lu Si'en rubbed his fingers together. Ye Jingqiu showed no reluctance towards him. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "You'll miss..."

Before they could finish speaking, five men in black appeared in front of them. Without exception, all five men possessed extremely heavy soul power, which was beyond their ability to contend with.

Ye Jingqiu frowned and looked at the five people with a wary expression. This place was not far from Wuhun City and Wuhun Hall Academy. Who would dare to ambush them here?

But now was not the time for her to think about such things. The five men were clearly up to no good, and they were probably here specifically to target them.

Lu Si'en pulled Ye Jingqiu into his arms, and then his spirit chain appeared in his hand, along with the three spirit rings on his body.

Yellow, purple, purple.

The five people exchanged glances, clearly shocked that a three-ring Soul Master possessed two thousand-year Soul Rings.

Lu Si'en's second spirit ring lit up, and his second spirit skill, Flying Wings, instantly took off as the chains wrapped around Ye Jingqiu's waist.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best.

Ye Jingqiu said in a serious tone, "Quickly, go back to the academy."

The chains were moving very fast, but two of the five people released their martial spirits at the same time.

One was a five-ring Soul King, and the other was a six-ring Soul Emperor. One of them had a pair of black wings behind him, and the other had a pair of transparent wings like dragonfly wings behind him.

They flew towards the two of them.

The remaining three also released their spirit rings simultaneously: two were spirit kings and one was a spirit emperor.

What a grand gesture! They actually mobilized two Soul Emperors to ambush them all at once. The two flying in the air were very fast and were about to catch up with them when Ye Jingqiu released his Martial Soul Soul-Capturing Bell.

Lu Si'en's first spirit ring lit up instantly, and his first spirit skill, Worry-Free, could increase Ye Jingqiu's spirit power by 30%.

Three spirit rings, yellow, purple, and purple, appeared on Ye Jingqiu's body. Her first spirit ring lit up, triggering the Bell Summoning Impact.

The five people behind them seemed to be exchanging tactics, but when the Soul-Capturing Bell shook, they all fell silent, and their speed also slowed down.

With Lu Si'en's assistance, the three Soul Kings' speed obviously slowed down, but the two Soul Emperors resumed their original speed after a brief pause.

Ye Jingqiu sensed something was wrong and immediately released his third soul ring. As the purple soul ring lit up, three small black snakes flew out from the Soul-Capturing Bell.

The third soul skill is the Three Snake Formation.

Three small, jet-black snakes surrounded the Soul Emperor at the front, rendering him unable to move.

At this moment, Ye Jingqiu's first soul skill failed, and the Soul Emperor who was surrounded shouted, "Don't hold back anymore! Once they return to the Spirit Hall Academy, we'll be the ones who die."

Upon hearing his voice, the remaining four people noticeably increased their speed. Ye Jingqiu's heart skipped a beat; it turned out they had been hiding their strength.

Today, she and Lu Si'en are probably doomed.

One of the Soul Kings' third Soul Ring lit up, and flames rushed towards the two of them. At this moment, there was only one way to dodge.

Ye Jingqiu said, "Let go of me!"

Lu Si'en's expression was serious. Releasing Ye Jingqiu would undoubtedly mean that he was out of his protection, but if he did not release him, the flames would definitely hit Ye Jingqiu.

Almost instantly, Lu Si'en made his choice, and as the chains loosened, Ye Jingqiu fell straight to the ground.

The five people did not expect them to do this so suddenly. It was faster to carry one person with chains than two. Lu Si'en easily avoided the flames.

To his surprise, the five people didn't even glance at him again and went straight towards the falling Ye Jingqiu.

Lu Si'en's eyes narrowed slightly. They had actually come for Ye Jingqiu!

The latest novel is first published here!

"Lu Si'en! Quickly go back to the academy and find someone to save me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge column of water shot straight toward Ye Jingqiu's face. Immediately afterward, her second soul ring lit up, and her second soul skill, Demonic Sound, rang out.

The irregular sounds continuously assaulted their spirits, causing them to become disoriented, and for a moment, all four of them lost their focus.

Even if it's just a slight deviation, it's still an opportunity for Ye Jingqiu.

But just then, the Soul Emperor, who had been held back by the Three Snake Formation, broke free. He deliberately lowered his voice and sneered, "As expected of a student of the Spirit Hall Academy, a mere three-ring Soul Master, you actually caused me to lose a piece of flesh from my leg. However, you will pay the price for this. Today is your death day!"

As his fifth spirit ring lit up, a blue lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the sky, and its target was Ye Jingqiu.

"Qiuqiu—" Lu Si'en's voice was heart-wrenching. At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else and flew towards Ye Jingqiu.

With a deafening sound, lightning struck Ye Jingqiu, and she instantly felt her internal organs tremble.

Blood dripped from the corner of Ye Jingqiu's mouth, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

"Die!" As soon as the words fell, the sixth soul skill on the Soul Emperor lit up, and lightning gathered into a giant eagle. The giant eagle opened its beak, let out a cry, and charged straight at Ye Jingqiu.

But just then, Lu Si'en's chains failed. Fifteen minutes had passed, and he began to fall uncontrollably. He looked at Ye Jingqiu in panic, "Qiuqiu—"

He gathered all his soul power and used his second soul skill, Flying Wings, once again. He absolutely could not let Ye Jingqiu get into trouble!

Given her current condition, she definitely cannot withstand the sixth soul skill of a Soul Emperor.

Ye Jingqiu knew in her heart that she had closed her eyes and calmly accepted the coming of death.

But the expected pain didn't come; instead, she fell into a warm embrace.

Ye Jingqiu slowly opened his eyes.
