Chapter 370: Runes and Qi

A spark of white light appeared at the end of the long, dark tunnel. Hui charged for it, reaching out. Come on! Just a little further!

A last rune rose up, larger than all the runes before it. It stood in Huis way, solid as a brick wall. Hui stumbled, drawing to a halt. How do I?

The rune pushed forward, pressing him back. Hui stood his ground, gritting his teeth. I wont give up now. There has to be a way! There has to be a way through!

Glowing brightly, the rune shook. A thick energy built up on its surface.

Hmm. Energy? Hui considered, then killed his qi, voiding his body of it entirely. He pressed both hands against the rune, then let his qi flow again.

The energy from the rune rushed into Hui. A powerful qi surged through his body, thick in his veins. It flowed into his dantian and filled it almost instantly, too much for Hui to handle. Even then, more qi flowed into him, more than he could handle. It kept coming, unstoppable.

Huis veins stood out on his body. His blood vessels burst, and in the real world, blood began to flow from his nose, ears, eyes, and mouth. Shit! This is bad. But if I stop absorbing it, the rune will attack and kill me! II

To us! Give some of that qi to us! Healer shouted.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Hui nodded. Thats right! Right! He reached out to the node inside him and sent the qi flowing into it. Qi surged into each of the clones, but especially into First.

Thank you. Thank you! First called, grateful beyond gratitude.

Qi continued to flow, an overabundance of it. All the Huis filled up, and then some. Abruptly, the rest of them began to bleed as well. Although First continued to absorb qi, he couldnt absorb enough to offset the rest of them filling up. Huis body began to shake again.

Huis cultivation rushed upward. It hurried toward the next stage, rushing toward the bottleneck. A block appeared in his mind, a wall he couldnt hope to break through. Hui frowned. Thats right. My path. I have to comprehend my path before the next step! I have a god idea of what its going to be, but I wouldnt dare claim something like complete comprehension. Then then I cant break through to offset the qi surge!

But where? The ceiling? The wall? Itll shatter my barrier and keep going, right through the wall, and then whats the point of the barrier at all? All Chen Xiguis allies can run in! I

The bolt grew stronger and hotter. His hand shook. Under the force of the heat, his palm and fingers began to often, like overcooked vegetables.

Can anyone else

Before he could even finish the thought, negative responses came from all the clones. Im doing the same, we all are! None of us can afford to take any extra energy! Healer shouted.

Outside, Li Xiang caught sight of the mass of qi in Huis hand. She kicked Wang Xiu, knocking her off-balance. Hui, now!

Huis ear twitched. He fired the bolt with all his strength.

Wang Xius eyes widened. She tried to flip out of the way, but Li Xiang materialized a thousand swords around her, locking her into a box of blades. Wang Xiu slashed out, cutting the box open with a wave of red energy that crashed into the wall like a wave of water, but it took a moment too long. Huis beam slammed into Wang Xiu and cut right through her. A fist-sized chunk opened in Wang Xius chest, sizzing. Blood popped as it flowed into the super-heated wound.

Li Xiang ducked the wave of energy and darted in, refusing to let up on Wang Xiu for a second. Suddenly on her back foot, Wang Xiu fell back. With the fist-sized hole in Wang Xius chest, Li Xiangs excellent swordplay made an absolute difference that no cultivation levels could overcome. In another few moves, Li Xiang had Wang Xiu pinned by the throat.

End it, Wang Xiu snarled.

Li Xiang sliced down.

In the runic space, the giant rune rattled where it sat. Breaks appeared on its surface, cutting lines through the golden shape. Hui frowned and drew a little more qi. All of them, all of the Huis, drew the last surge of qi from the rune.

The rune shattered. The barrier on the curtain broke. In nearly the same instant, the light from Ya Ais life tablet dimmed.

Dammit. Ya Ai, wait for us! Hui threw open the curtain.
