The Legend of Min Hong

The other disciple then tried to reach out to his partner's chest where the emergency tag was, and all he had to do was to send a little bit of Qi into it and the inner court Enforcement Hall would be notified...

But it was at this same moment that the feminine figure whooshed past them, and they instantly felt a deeply eerie chill wash over them as the water solidified into ice, turning them into ice sculptures…

Min Qing blasted the inner court gates with her purple demon flames as she advanced into the inner court districts…

Three minutes later, Min Hong and his group got to the burning entrance of the inner court as they saw the two ice sculptures, Min Hong didn't even wait as he continued on into the inner court, whilst Long Sha simply gazed towards the two ice sculptures and the ice shattered into bits as the two enforcement hall disciples fell to the ground exhausted...

Finally the partner was able to use his last shred of energy to send place his palm on the tag and send his Qi into the tag…

Then the tagged hummed thrice with flashing lights and then dimmed, followed by the partner collapsing to the ground with complete and utter exhaustion…

"Elder Qui, an alarm was received from the two disciples on dawn duty today!"

An Enforcement Hall disciple rushed into an office with bated breaths as he bellowed to the Elder within…

"What!?"

"I told them they were not to use that tag unless the situation is utterly dire…"

Elder Qui raised himself to his feet as he bellowed in response;

"Send three enforcers to go and check it out and intercept whatever threat it is…"

He replied and just as the inner court disciple was about to leave his office, Elder Qui added;

"Tell them to take a tag along and report whatever happens back to me directly!"

Two minutes later, three figures erupted from the Enforcement Hall on their flying swords as they bolted towards the inner court gates…

"The enforcement hall is on the path to the inner sect, so we should be able to intercept whoever it is, except if the person has already entered the inner sect…"

The female amongst this trio spoke out whilst the remaining two nodded…

"I wonder who it was that could cause two enforcement guards to use their tag?"

He said with furrowed brows, but the moment his statement landed, they heard a whistling sound raging over from up ahead…

Raising their heads to see the source of the commotion, they saw a massive body of hair floating over towards them at full speed;

"Halt! We are from the Enforcement Hall, stand down and let us take you to our enforcement hall, and you can explain yourself and what you did to our disciples…"

One of the three enforcement bellowed at Min Qing who simply kept advancing like she wasn't the one this guys…

According to what Min Qing was sensing from them, the trio seemed to be in the second stage of the Nascent soul stage;

"Out of my way!"

She spoke still very angry, but the inner court office disciples simply ignored her threat as they fired several warning shots at her…

The male enforcer shot several wind scythes towards Min Qing, whilst one of the two girl's made a metal spear appear out of thin air, and then the second girl then sent fireball hurtling towards Min Qing…

Min Qing simply stretched her towards the fireball and just like earlier the trench water surged out and collided with the two incoming fireballs;

Boom!

Twish! Twish!

The water and the fire balls exploded, but this time, the blob of pitch-black…

Min Qing then looked over to the incoming wind scythe and whipped out her 'Yin sword' slashing it directly at the wind scythes;

Boom!

The scythes were split in two equal halves, leaving only the spear which was already only about 30 feet away from Min Qing…

Then Min Qing's hair simply whipped backwaters, as it pulled her along, causing Min Qing to do a forward moving backflip [See the way swimmers return to the starting line from one end]…

Fwoom!

The spear whistled pass Min Qing, taking three strands of her along, then Min Qing flipped upright, and by the time she was face to face with these disciple, her Trench Water Dao erupted once more, forming a single pitch black trident before waving her sleeves towards the last girl who had fired that fireball earlier…

Then without wasting a single breath, a massively thick arm made of purple demon flame came out of nowhere, hurtling towards the girl that threw the spear made of metal Dao, before she snorted in disdain, and instantly the only male enforcer suddenly felt his soul and mind shake violently...

Then before the three of them could discard these attacks, Min Qing had arrived slashing her 'Yin Sword' which she had infused with her Yin Dao, boosting her attacks by 75 percent at the male enforcer;

"Hmph! I am no outer court disciple, you must be taught a lesson!"

The male enforcer fumed as he whipped out his own sword, and slashed at Min Qing's sword;

Boom!

Clank!

Crack!

The male enforcer watched with wide eyes as his sword cracked and broke in half, before Min Qing's sword continued on and slashed his chest, leaving a huge three inch deep and ten inch deep gash on his chest as he slammed into the ground…

Instantly, the Yin Qi within the attack went to work, corrupting the vitality of the male disciple and preventing the wound from closing;

"Gai Tseng!"

The female enforcer with the Flame Dao blurted, but she was not given enough time to react as Min Qing's massive hair swung with great momentum towards her, smashing her of the air, and sending her crashing into a nearby stone statue that was instantly pulverized…

Before the trio could stand up or retaliated, they felt showers of tiny cold water droplets fall upon them, and before their brains could process what it was, an eerie level of cold energy washed over them, and just like the disciples at the gate, they were also turned into ice sculptures…

Min Qing then moved on into the inner sect…

Moments later, Min Hong and the rest arrived, and once again, Long Sha took care of the three enforcers as they flew on at full speed as they tried to catch up with Min Qing…

Meanwhile…

Several kilometers away from their position, a female and a male elder of the inner court were standing on their flying swords looking ahead, as a whistling sound approached them from the distance…

These two elders were the same ones that were present during the time Min Qing was challenging her first outer court disciple; Yuan Chun…

They were Elder Peng and Elder Shi…

Apparently, one of the three enforcers had sent a message to the Enforcement Hall and relaying the result of their deployment, thus, the Enforcement Hall had reached out to the two elders to go and resolve the situation…

Before long, Min Qing had already reached their position as Elder Shi spoke;

"Little girl, I hope you understand the level of punishment your actions have warranted?"

"For injuring and nearly killing five inner court enforcement hall disciples, you should be crippled!" Elder Peng bellowed in addition;

"I need to find Xi Mei and her group, when I am done you can do whatever you want with me…"

Min Qing's voice this time around was more eerie than when she spoke to the enforcement hall disciples earlier…

"Little kid, I think you should be more worried about your current situation than whoever it is you are searching for!" Elder Peng rebuked with a furious tone;

"If you dare to stand in my way, you will suffer the consequences…"

Min Qing spoke like as if she was giving the two elders their last chances, but Elder Peng simply bolted forward with his massive fist engulfed in green flames as he bellowed;

"Wrath of Vajra!"

Boom!
