Chapter 1020: Flower Fairy Was Captured

"Humph, without Qingfeng, you are no match for me," Erjian Zhao sneered.
As one of the Sanjian sword art geniuses of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Erjian Zhaowas not one bit afraid of Flower Fairy, even though he was defeated by Qingfeng.
"Silver Snow Crossing Sky." With a low yell, he executed the Silver Snow Sword Technique which condensed his vital essence into a huge snowflake, sending it flying toward Flower Fairy.
Sensing the oppressing aura of his sword technique, Flower Fairy's expression changed. As a True Spirit Realm fighter, she was no match for Erjian Zhao, an Earthly Spirit Realm fighter.
But don't forget the mysterious power sealed inside her body. It would release a tremendous amount of strength once activated.
Flower Fairy chanted some special words and a golden mysterious symbol rose from the words and entered her body.
At her Dantian, there existed a white lotus flower like the lotus throne of Guan Yin. The lotus had nine pure white petals and each of them was sealed by a mysterious power.
Chanting the special words, Flower Fairy summoned all of her strength and broke the seal on the first petal in her body.
Boom!
With the removal of the first seal, a powerful aura was released from her body and she directly broke through into the Earthly Spirit Realm from the True Spirit Realm.
Flower Fairy was now an early-stage Earthly Spirit Realm fighter and naturally wasn't afraid of Erjian Zhao, who was on the same level as her.
"Hundred-Flower Palm." She channeled the vital essence into her hands and viciously struck out with her right palm, abruptly sending out a giant shadow of a lotus with only one petal.
But the one petal contained an enormous, ancient pressure that radiated with power.
Boom!
The lotus shadow and the Silver Sword Snowflake crashed into each other with a loud earth-shaking sound and the energy released from the collision created a huge black hole in the air.
Deng!
Flower Fairy held her ground while Erjian Zhao was forced back a step.
Though Flower Fairy had only removed the first seal in her body, the power originated from the mysterious ancient celestial lotus was great enough to force Erjian Zhao back.
Erjian Zhao's face turned dark, never expecting to be forced back by a woman.
"What are you looking at? Let's capture her together and threaten Qingfeng Li." Knowing the power of Flower Fairy, Erjian Zhao urged Zhuang Hei and the others to join him.
Though displeased with Erjian Zhao's attitude, Zhuang Hei knew that they must capture Flower Fairy so they could force Qingfeng Li to hand over the Sword Energy Grass.
"Sky-strengthening Blade." With a low yell, Zhuang Hei hacked his long blade at Flower Fairy viciously.
Besides Zhuang Hei, Gang Pan and Ta Xue also entered the fray.
"King Kong Fist."
"Towering Palm."
They both roared in fury and launched their strongest strikes at Flower Fairy.
Flower Fairy's lotus petal was powerful enough to defeat one or even two of them, but under the four men's attacks, she was eventually defeated.
"Blood Devil Rope." Ta Xue abruptly tossed a blood-colored rope at Flower Fairy as she was retreating.
Being two meters long and emitting red light, the rope was a powerful earth-grade spiritual device. If it was not for the crucial task of capturing Flower Fairy, Ta Xue would not have used it.
Swoosh!
Flowered Fairy was busy blocking the others' attacks and did not notice the rope until she was already bound.
Xianzhi Qin and Daoist ran to her rescue but were soon caught too since they were no match for Erjian Zhao and the others.
No one paid attention to the puppy, since Erjian Zhao only thought it was a normal dog.
The puppy turned and ran, with its tail tucked between its legs.
"Damn dog, not a bit of loyalty in you," Daoist cursed silently when he saw the running black puppy.
The puppy left the valley and ran to the distance.
"Haha! Finally I escaped from that big devil Qingfeng Li. From now on, I will conquer the world!" It laughed and vanished on spot.
Meanwhile, Qingfeng Li knew nothing about Flower Fairy's capture.
He entered an empty cavern and sat down cross-legged before taking out the Sword Energy Grass, beginning to try and gain insight of the sword intent in it. Both pieces were white stalks of grass and contained fiery sword intent.
Qingfeng Li's vital essence entered the grass, discovering a sea of illusionary flames burning wildly.
Of course, it was the essence of fire instead of real fire, but the sensation was the same.
Qingfeng Li immersed his spirit energy in the fire and savored the fire sensation in it until he gained insight of the sword intent and turned it into his own strength.
One hour later, he stood up after gaining complete insight of the sword intent of fire contained in both stalks of grass.
He slashed out the Red Fiery Sword and everything within 30 meters was engulfed in a scorching sword aura that burned every living thing into ash and charcoal.
Thirty meters of fire was equivalent to one tenth of the sword intent. It was extremely difficult to gain insight in sword intent, and even Erjian Zhao from the Heavenly Sword Sect had not accomplished it. Qingfeng Li was more talented than anyone else and had already gained one tenth of it.
He stood up and walked out of the cavern.
As soon as he stepped out, he heard part of the conversation of some passing disciples.
"Did you hear that Erjian Zhao captured Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin and had them bound at the outside of the Sword Aura Valley?"
"Of course I did. Erjian Zhao declared that he would kill them if Qingfeng Li failed to send the Sword Energy Grass to the valley within three hours."
"Well, I don't think Qingfeng Li will do that. He will certainly die even if he goes there since Erjian Zhao, Zhuang Hei, Gang Pan, Ta Xue, and the others waiting there for him."
The passing disciples talked in low voices about the events that had just happened in the Sword Aura Valley.
Qingfeng Li's face changed abruptly, not expecting that Erjian Zhao was so despicable that he had actually taken Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin hostage to force him to hand over the Sword Energy Grass.
"Erjian Zhao, you are asking for your death," eyes glinting coldly, Qingfeng Li said with a chilling killing intent in his voice.
