The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 688 Forced Retreat
Speaking of which, Zhao Chen suffered heavy losses in the "Calling the Empress Back" ceremony held in the main hall of the "Tianhu Palace"...

Not only was the loss measured in billions, not to mention his subordinate "Haley", and the wasted "Black Phoenix Demon Fire" and "Moonlight Treasure Spring", even his magical weapon "Liang Yi Taoist Robe" was directly destroyed by the Empress!
This really made Zhao Chen feel distressed... Fortunately, he did not gain nothing.

First of all, his spirit and magic power have become much more refined, and even his physical strength and toughness have improved a lot, no less than some monks who specialize in physical magic powers.

This is of course due to the "dual cultivation" with the empress!
Even though there was almost no cooperation between the two sides, the Queen of Xiliang was essentially an "Ascending Xuan" being. The "benefits" Zhao Chen had gained from her were beyond his imagination, and he couldn't even digest them all, so most of them had to be wasted.

What's even more strange is that his progress in mastering "Collector" has also greatly improved.

I don't know what the principle is. Could it be that because the "Queen of Xiliang" is of high level, she is a rare commodity?
Secondly, part of the empress's original power was shared with Zhao Chen through a ceremony, causing his innate spells "Cold Light of the Blue Sun" and "Fire Lotus of the Red Moon" to undergo a certain degree of mutation, gaining new "functions" on the original basis.

Among them, "Cold Light of the Blue Sun" has added the ability to burn "spirits", which can "burn" the enemy into an empty shell in the frozen ice... This is essentially a variant of the "Black Phoenix Demon Fire" ability.

The "Red Moon Fire Lotus" has similar abilities to the "Mother and Child River Water". It can not only make living things pregnant, but also directly accelerate the time of the fetus, allowing it to grow rapidly and take away some of the enemy's power.

He had conducted a brief study in the "Black Domain Channel" before and roughly determined that the sources of the two spells, "Cold Light of the Blue Sun" and "Fire Lotus of the Red Moon", had been polluted to a certain extent, but it should not affect their final synthesis into the great magical power of "Stars Stopping", but there must be some deviation from the original true meaning.

This is the same as the "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the Truth". It was also eroded by the "Great Sun Star Chariot" at its source, so it can fit in so well with its own "Star Chariot Talisman"...

Getting back to the point, the one Zhao Chen just used against the "black hand" of Feng Qing's incarnation was the mutated "Red Moon Fire Lotus".

So, at this moment, Feng Qing's belly swelled up like a balloon, and correspondingly, her breath rapidly weakened.

But she is a "Dongxuan" real person after all. Even if she is an incarnation, she still has "supernatural powers". She was caught before only because she was entangled by Su Hanshui and focused most of her attention on Feng Wan and Ming Hongyue. In addition, Zhao Chen's methods were so insidious that she was caught without realizing it.

Therefore, she only used her spiritual consciousness with "cold light" to scan her abdomen and broke Zhao Chen's spell... Even though this spell was cast by the latter using the fifth-grade talisman, its essence was also on the edge of supernatural power.

But magic is magic, and it is completely vulnerable in the face of supernatural powers.

However, the spell was easily broken, and the fetus had grown to the point where it was about to be delivered. Even if it became a stillbirth without the "catalysis" of the "Red Moon Fire Lotus", it still had to be dealt with.

What's more, this fetus not only took away nearly 30% of Feng Qing's incarnation's energy and spirit, but also created a gap between her magic power and spiritual consciousness. It would take a lot of time to "digest" it again.

But Zhao Chen would never give her this opportunity. He directly summoned the phantom of the "Golden Box Five Keys" and spent star coins to purchase the "Blood Demon Soul-Devouring Sword", a third-grade magical power that was "collected" in it.

This magical power came from Qin Sheng. It was randomly generated by her first-grade magical power "Blood God Diagram" a few days ago. Zhao Chen took the opportunity to "buy" it as a backup.

The sword light with a filthy, evil and bloody aura lit up, as if a strange bloody demon had descended and pounced on Feng Qing in an instant.

Although Feng Qing was prepared, she was unable to "use her mind to achieve the goal" due to the influence of the "fetus" in her belly. She was also unable to instantly place her magical power at the location designated by her spiritual sense, so the bloody sword light easily bypassed her defense and penetrated her heart. It was only then that Feng Qing's spiritual sense locked onto the source of the sword light and saw a middle-aged man who looked familiar.

"'Sun Sword' Ma Guangming? He has actually reached a higher level of magical power... It is rumored that he has entered the path of evil, and it seems to be true...

"Why do you want to go against me?
"By the way, Feng Wan is his adopted sister, so it's reasonable for him to attack me...

"That spell was too despicable, even more despicable than the similar method of Blood Moon!"

While many thoughts flashed through Feng Qing's mind, he also knew that things were impossible to do. If he continued like this, his incarnation would be in danger of perishing.

As a Dongxuan Zhenren, she was not lacking in decisiveness, so without hesitation she turned into a sword light and flew straight into the air.

——The sword energy pierced through the heart, which might be a fatal injury to an ordinary cultivator, but for Feng Qing it was not even a serious injury. The main reason why she chose to retreat was that there was a gap between her magic power and spiritual consciousness. If it was not resolved, she would be full of flaws when fighting.

But what she didn't know was that Zhao Chen had added some "ingredients" into the "Blood Demon Soul-Devouring Sword", blending in a little bit of the Empress's vitality, which secretly "contaminated" the other party the moment it pierced into her body.

If she tried to refine the fetus in her belly, the consequences would be disastrous.

After all, the reason why the fetus in Feng Qing's belly could be conceived so smoothly and grow up so quickly was not only due to the mutation of the "Red Moon Fire Lotus" itself, but also because of the Empress's vitality.

Given the status of the empress, one can imagine how huge the "benefits" Zhao Chen, who practiced dual cultivation with her, received were. However, he was too weak to receive the benefits, so most of them were wasted.

Zhao Chen was also unable to digest these vital energies in a short period of time, so he could only recycle them.

And when the remaining vitality of the empress completely dissipates, the effect of Zhao Chen's "Red Moon Fire Lotus" will not be as exaggerated as this time... At least it will not go through the ten-month pregnancy process in just a few breaths.

At the edge of the ring, Zhao Chen, Su Hanshui and others could only watch "Feng Qing" escape. After all, the other party had a high level of cultivation, and except for the time when he was ambushed, he had always been in the active position, so naturally he could leave whenever he wanted.

"Alas, I haven't asked her what happened to Brother Wang yet..." Su Hanshui sighed, feeling that the real Wang Ce might be in danger.

Then, he bowed to Zhao Chen and said, "Thank you for your help, may I ask your name?"

"Just a passerby who couldn't stand her bullying the weak..." Zhao Chen did not mention the name "Ma Guangming". After all, the reputation of "Sun Sword" was not very good now. If a young man jumped out to enforce justice, he would be asking for trouble.

Anyway, they will definitely be able to find out their "identity" with their current appearance afterwards.
