The Rebirth of Bai Qi: The Way of Qi

Chapter 125 Life Hanging by a Thread

The first rays of the rising sun shone on the battlefield, washing away the lingering white haze.

The scattered battle flags and weapons still bear traces of dust and smoke.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm, but the precipice in everyone's hearts had not completely receded.

Zhao Gao has been captured and is now imprisoned within an invisible Qi wall set up by Bai Qi himself.

The wall of Qi shimmered with a faint, water-like luster, seemingly indestructible. Though Zhao Gao was in a sorry state, he remained calm and composed.

In the setting sun, a hint of scheming, unknown to others, flickered in his eyes.

However, Bai Qi knew in his heart that this person was treacherous and cunning, and even in the face of a cornered beast, he must not underestimate him or let his guard down.

He closed his eyes slightly, sensing the fluctuations of demonic energy within his body, and in an instant, he spread his thoughts throughout the entire area, capturing any slight disturbance.

Just as everyone felt somewhat at ease, a sudden gust of cold wind swept in.

A poisoned arrow suddenly appeared from nowhere, heading straight for Situ Yan, who stood at the very end.

Situ Yan felt her breath catch in her throat. The arrow seemed to carry a chilling, ghostly sound, as if it were a divine decree descending, shaking her to her core.

In the critical moment, Han Xin, relying on his extraordinary intuition, rushed forward and used his own body to block the deadly poisoned arrow.

The arrow flew like a rainbow, piercing through his body, yet he remained as firm as iron, his face bearing a mixture of defiance and solemnity.

He stood on the ground, clutching the ancient jade in his hand in anguish. The inscription "The believer is invincible" on the jade gradually lost its light, appearing particularly heavy and filled with resentment.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi was filled with a mixture of rage and fury. Han Xin was his close friend and one of the pillars of their camp, and now that he had suffered such a heavy blow, everyone was terrified.

Bai Qi's eyes flashed with a cold light. He instinctively stepped forward, a chilling demonic energy gathering in his palm, ready to protect Situ Yan behind him.

Situ Yan couldn't bear to do that; her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with guilt and unease.

She quickly bent down to examine Han Xin's wound, her fingers trembling slightly, but her movements remained resolute.

Han Fu rushed over and knelt down to help Situ bandage his wound.

At this critical moment of overwhelming odds, Bai Qi imprisoned Zhao Gao within the Qi Wall, preventing him from gleaning even the slightest hint of what was happening.

Bound by the invisible barrier and feeling the pressure of Bai Qi's demonic energy, Zhao Gao showed no unease. Instead, he revealed a hint of mockery and smiled calmly, seemingly full of confidence.

Han Xin sighed softly in Situ Yan's arms, with a hint of resentment in his voice. He had a thousand words to say, but how could he express them?

The ancient jade trembled slightly in his hand, as if it were praying for him or weeping for him.

Bai Qi was extremely anxious. He rushed to Han Xin's side and whispered words of comfort and reassurance to his friend.

His friend could not fall like this. Bai Qi had a plan in mind. He used powerful demonic energy to seal Han Xin's wound, trying to stop the spread of the poison.

However, this poisoned arrow is extremely rare, and its deadly power, capable of killing on contact with blood, cannot be countered by ordinary means.

Han Xin suppressed the excruciating pain, his forehead was covered in sweat, his chest heaved, and his face was ashen.

The onlookers were all heartbroken and wept, wishing they could use all their cultivation to save Han Xin.

Situ Yan suddenly felt guilty and burst into tears. She looked at Bai Qi and sobbed softly, "All of this is my fault. Han Xin suffered this hardship unjustly."

If there is an afterlife, I would dedicate my entire life to repaying the kindness he has shown me today.

Bai Qi shook his head, knowing in his heart that all of this was beyond Situ Yan's control.

Even if we are in a difficult situation right now, we must not give up as long as there is even a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, he seemed to have entered a state of nothingness, meticulously sensing every trace of energy within his body. Diverse and varied Qi flows swirled within him, and under the guidance of the profound Dao method, he continuously constructed a perfect system within his body capable of mobilizing fifteen units of power.

The world seemed to stand still at this crucial moment, and time itself seemed to freeze.

Bai Qi's consciousness entered an indescribable state, his soul seemingly merging with the mysteries of heaven and earth.

This supernatural feeling made him realize that he was going further and further away from the true understanding of Taoism.

He concentrated all his strength, guiding every wisp of Qi he could muster into Han Xin's body, striving to merge and blend with Han Xin's Qi.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a powerful energy seemed to arise from nothingness, sweeping across all directions with boundless vitality.

Bai Qi could feel the rampant toxins being gradually dispelled, and the corrosive forces slowly dissolving under his control.

A refreshing scent spread out, enveloping Han Xin's entire body, and the traces of pain gradually faded away.

In a short while, Han Xin's complexion gradually regained its color, and his breathing became steady.

Everyone who saw this was filled with awe and secretly marveled at Bai Qi's unfathomable strength.

Bai Qi forced his eyes open and looked at Han Xin, who was still unconscious, feeling somewhat relieved.

Zhao Gao witnessed all of this from inside the Qi Wall. His expression changed slightly, but he still managed to remain calm.

Despite his advantageous position, he believed that his hidden strength had not yet been revealed, and that he had a trump card in his heart that he could turn around at any time.

Bai Qi took in Zhao Gao's cunning eyes. He knew that Zhao Gao was not someone to be easily compromised, and that beneath his calm demeanor lay a sinister nature.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, pondered, and decided never to let his guard down against Zhao Gao.

Meanwhile, the partners who worked together continued to rescue Han Xin. Han Fu and Situ Yan did their best and finally won back Han Xin's spirit.

This fully demonstrates the selflessness and unity of everyone who shares the burden and joy in critical moments.

Bai Qi felt a deep sense of understanding and believed that as long as they worked together, they could overcome any difficulty.

A gentle breeze blew by, and sparse sunlight fell upon everyone. This perilous challenge was etched deep into the hearts of each and every one of them.

Bai Qi stood still, gazing at each face before him, their determination and courage inspiring him greatly.

Just then, a new face suddenly appeared in Bai Qi's field of vision.

This person had a dignified appearance, a lithe figure, and a handsome face. He was dressed in armor, and his unsteady stance exuded an invisible pressure.

His name was Xu Liang, and he was one of Zhao Gao's confidants.

Xu Liang's gaze swept over Zhao Gao within the Qi wall, and he bowed slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of submission and loyalty.

Bai Qi's mind raced, and he immediately realized that Zhao Gao had accomplices in the shadows, and Xu Liang was clearly someone Zhao Gao trusted.

Xu Liang looked at Bai Qi and said calmly, "General Bai Qi, how my lord Zhao Gao is treated is up to you."

His words implied complex emotions, seemingly challenging the preservation of a crucial scene, yet revealing not a trace of suicidal intent.

Bai Qi chuckled coldly and said, "Zhao Gao is already like a wild beast in captivity, yet he still has remnants helping him."

Xu Liang did not argue, but silently watched Zhao Gao with a firm attitude.

He seemed convinced that no matter how dire Zhao Gao's situation became, he would share Zhao Gao's fate and would never change.

Bai Qi kept a watchful eye on himself and was in no hurry to argue with the newcomer.

After much deliberation, he realized that if he could recruit Xu Liang, he would simply gain a slight advantage in this situation.

He said solemnly, "Since Zhao Gao is like a brother to you, you are willing to submit. There is no need to risk your life."

Xu Liang shook his head, his expression unchanged, and said, "General, there is no need for further words. I am Zhao Gao's man, and even in death, I will be his soul."

If you wish to eliminate the problem completely, I will do as you wish.

Bai Qi frowned slightly as he looked at the resolute expression. Just as he was at a loss for how to proceed, Zhao Gao, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Xu Liang, General Bai Qi is benevolent; perhaps we can find a way out here."

Xu Liang paused for a moment, finally revealing a hint of hesitation. Zhao Gao seized the opportunity to continue, saying, "The affairs of the world are unpredictable and irreversible. Life is always at the mercy of others, so why not give it a try?"

Bai Qi was moved. He immediately realized that Zhao Gao was setting up a scheme—the puppet was real, and the scheme was about to escalate.

The thought was incredibly subtle, yet the opportunity had returned, and Bai Qi already had a plan in mind.

A life-or-death ordeal has finally come to an end. The weather was fine, but at this moment, everyone worked together with one heart and one mind, and their wishes have been fulfilled.
