Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Adapting to the Darkness

Qin Yi was agitated and restless.

Could it be that once this door of calamity was opened, it couldn’t be closed even if he was blind?

"Qin Yi, are you alright?"

Azure Dragon was a bit puzzled as to why Qin Yi suddenly came asking about the Heavenly Pit.

Qin Yi shook his head gently. He smiled bitterly inside, was he destined to bear the burden of the world? But now he was blind, how could he bear it?

"Old Azure Dragon, I don’t know if Qing Jian mentioned this to you, but with the appearance of the Heavenly Pit, a demon called the Soul-devouring Demon appeared, capable of possessing people and controlling their divine soul."

Azure Dragon nodded slightly and said, "I know! Actually, when the Heavenly Pit first appeared, there were Soul-devouring Demons, but they were destroyed before they had a chance to possess anyone."

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, so the Soul-devouring Demons appeared so early?

"Soul-devouring Demons are hard to deal with. Let those below be aware; if possessed by such a thing, the possessed person’s eyes will turn black."

"Don’t worry, I’ll notify them right away!"

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "In the future, there might be more demons appearing."

Azure Dragon and Xuanwu exchanged a glance, feeling Qin Yi’s current state was a bit odd.

"Alright, you guys get busy, I’m heading back."

Qin Yi turned around and felt his way back.

"I’ll escort you!" Azure Dragon offered.

"No need."

He had to quickly adapt to the darkness.

...

It had been three days since Qin Yi lost his sight.

But his eyes showed no signs of improvement.

Azure Dragon and Xuanwu had searched through ancient texts but couldn’t find a way to heal Qin Yi.

Qin Yi hadn’t been idle these three days, trying to adapt to life as a blind person.

In front of Qin Yi’s door, many wooden stakes were planted, with stones scattered on the ground.

Qin Yi listened attentively, then navigated through the stakes and scattered stones without incident.

Qing Jian exclaimed with excitement, "Qin Yi, you did it."

Qin Yi grinned, also a bit excited. Now, without the Blood Flood Dragon’s guidance, he could accurately avoid obstacles ahead of him.

By using the flow of Qi and airflow, and the reaction of obstacles, he could know roughly what lay ahead and avoid them precisely.

But it wasn’t enough.

Not only did he need to avoid obstacles accurately, but he also needed to practice sparring with others.

Next, Qin Yi trained several more times, each time successfully navigating through the stakes and stones.

"Qing Jian, try attacking me."

Qing Jian nodded, "Be careful, I’m about to strike."

"You be careful, hurt me and I’ll beat you to death."

Qing Jian: "..."

Whoosh!

Qing Jian’s figure blurred, appearing in front of Qin Yi, his longsword thrusting towards Qin Yi.

In Qin Yi’s palm, Purple Light flowed, he listened to discern the sound of the sword slicing through the air, then struck the sword, knocking Qing Jian’s longsword off course.

Whoosh!

Qing Jian changed his move, spinning his body around, sweeping out with his longsword.

Qin Yi rooted one foot, falling backward until his back was almost on the ground.

Qing Jian’s sword missed.

Qin Yi’s other foot shot out swiftly like lightning, hitting Qing Jian’s wrist, almost kicking the sword from his hand.

Qin Yi laughed, "You can be faster!"

Qing Jian had deliberately slowed his attack speed, giving Yi a chance to react.

But enemies wouldn’t slow down their attacks.

"Then be ready!"

Qing Jian’s sword hummed, his speed quickly increased, thrusting like a Poison Snake spitting its tongue, swift as lightning.

Qin Yi reached out and grabbed, summoning the Flood Dragon Spear.

Clang!

Sparks flew, the longsword was knocked aside.

Qing Jian changed move, attacking with visibly increasing speed.

Qin Yi used sound to determine positions, precisely countering Qing Jian’s moves.

Qing Jian attacked faster and faster, a storm of sword shadows.

Qin Yi’s reactions didn’t fall behind, the spear whistled as Purple Light swept forth, blocking all of Qing Jian’s attacks.

Sssss!

Suddenly, a sound like a blade slicing leaves, Qin Yi felt a coolness at his waist.

He reached out, feeling a cut in his waistcoat from Sword Qi.

Qing Jian hurriedly withdrew his sword, "Are you alright?"

Qin Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. Qing Jian had suddenly slipped behind him and thrust a sword, he hadn’t reacted at all.

Losing sight indeed brought too many inconveniences, hearing could never replace sight.

Qing Jian consoled, "Qin Yi, take a short break! You’ve done really well. If I were blind, I’d probably struggle even to live on my own now."

Qin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, accepting Qing Jian’s comfort.

The two sat down at a nearby stone table, and Qing Jian poured tea for Qin Yi.

"You’re already very impressive now, I’m sure in a few days you’ll be like a normal person."

Qin Yi scoffed lightly, "Without sight, I can never be a normal person."

"Don’t worry! There’s no need to be overly concerned. I believe that Master and the Guardian God Xuanwu will definitely find a way to heal your eyes."

"Maybe." Qin Yi held little hope for that.

If the eyes were damaged, they could be treated accordingly. But now his eyes were perfectly fine, leaving no way to start treatment.

"By the way, Master asked me to give you this."

"What is it?" Qin Yi said, reaching to take what Qing Jian handed him. By touch, it was a silk band.

Actually, it was a black silk band.

"Why did the old Azure Dragon give me this?" Qin Yi asked, puzzled.

Qing Jian replied, "This silk band was soaked in potion by Master for a long time. It’s meant for you to tie around your eyes, to protect them."

Qin Yi was momentarily stunned, then smiled bitterly, "My eyes are already like this, is protection still necessary?"

"Of course, your eyes will definitely heal. My instincts are always accurate."

Qin Yi smiled and tied the silk band around his eyes.

"I have to say, it looks pretty good."

Qin Yi: "..."

"How about I poke your eyes blind and give you a band too?"

Qing Jian quickly waved his hand, "No, thanks. I’m not as good looking as you; wearing this would make me look worse."

This silk band seemed to have been soaked in some special potion by the old Azure Dragon. Wearing it made his eyes feel cool and quite comfortable.

Qin Yi drank a cup of tea, stood up, and said, "Come on, let’s continue!"

Qing Jian nodded, drew his sword, and attacked Qin Yi without another word.

The two engaged in battle, Qing Jian’s sword speed increasing continuously.

"Faster, faster!" Qin Yi urged.

Half an hour later, Qin Yi’s clothes had turned into rags.

His original clothes had become tattered in the battle with Matsudai Mu, and now he was wearing Qing Jian’s clothing, a green robe.

However, it was now full of holes, open on all sides.

"Take a break!" Qing Jian suggested.

Qin Yi said, "Continue!"

Qing Jian grinned, "I pity my clothes! If we keep going, I’ll have nothing left to wear. Besides, you’ve... kind of exposed yourself."

Qin Yi was suddenly embarrassed, no wonder he felt a slight chill.

"Qing Jian, you pervert, where are you stabbing?"

Qing Jian teased, "You bumped into it yourself. Besides, you should be grateful I retracted my sword quickly, or you’d be the last eunuch in Longxia."
