Clearly Very Strong Yet Excessively Timid

The timid Ming Luo unexpectedly arrives at the Suoma Continent, where demons and monsters run rampant. As the only human, she embarks on an unconventional path of cultivation to preserve her life.<...

Chapter 29 Jedi Counterattack

Ming Luo suddenly realized that Pang Tao was imprisoned by Mu Li before, and perhaps he used this magic weapon, otherwise the cautious Pang Tao would not have been captured alive.

Ye Zhihan, without even looking up, glanced in Mu Li's direction. This guy, to scheme against him, was truly willing to go to great lengths, exhausting his inner energy to capture him. Wasn't he afraid his power would be greatly reduced once he escaped? Then, Ye Zhihan transformed into a swift black shadow, striving to escape the net before it fell.

However, during this period, Hui Jianzhi was not idle either. He continued to apply talisman pressure to Ye Zhihan. Words gushed out and shot directly at the wounds on Ye Zhihan's body that had not yet healed.

Ming Luo hid in the shadow space and watched the competition silently. He was worried about Ye Zhihan. His injuries had not healed yet, and he was afraid that he could not withstand such a high-intensity battle.

As expected, Ye Zhihan was only distracted by one word for a moment, and was immediately imprisoned by other words. Then the huge net above his head slowly fell down.

"You dare to yell in front of me even though you're injured? What courage you have!" Hui Jianzhi said sarcastically. While mocking, he did not forget to continue to cast new talismans on Ye Zhihan to increase the power to restrain him.

Mingluo was extremely anxious in the shadow space. She tried to break free from it, but found that she had no ability to get out of it.

Just as she was worried about Ye Zhihan's condition, she suddenly heard Ye Zhihan's low yet clear voice: "If I die here, you will follow him to the Suma Elder. Then the Suma Elder will help you return to the human world."

"No! I just want you to take me back to the human world!" Ming Luo's tears burst out in anxiety.

But Ye Zhihan seemed to have made up his mind already. He did not respond to Ming Luo's call, but directly moved the shadow space into Hui Jianzhi's shadow.

Although Ye Zhihan had temporarily settled his "afterlife", he did not give up resistance. Under the continuous blessing of the talisman, he kept surging shadows to try to impact the power of the text.

But the power of the ancient talisman was not something an injured cultivator could resist. In a blink of an eye, Ye Zhihan was suffocated by the talisman, his face turned pale, and drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Mingluo wiped away her tears and calmly considered how to help Ye Zhihan escape his predicament. All she had on her were two frost-blue pearls, her invisible and intangible neon skirt, and a few bottles of medicine in her shadow space—all of which were practically useless.

More importantly, she couldn't leave the shadow space!

Ming Luo rubbed his head and thought to himself that he had nothing left, so he might as well give up and rely on fantasy. Since this is a different world full of fantasy events, everything is possible, right?

Thinking of this, Ming Luo simply sat cross-legged and began to think about how to cleverly help Ye Zhihan cut off the source of his trouble and defeat this word monster.

However, the strange thing is that despite Mingluo's original intention of hoping Ye Zhihan could escape safely, Ye Zhihan herself did not change at all. Instead, this shadow space began to be filled with a comfortable warm current, just like the warm current that she fell asleep in the night after she arrived at the Crossing the Border Selection Competition.

In this warm current, Mingluo seemed to feel that something was different about herself. There was a warm power in her body rushing around and about to explode. She tentatively stretched out a finger outside the shadow space and found that she could pass through the shadow space!

Mingluo quickly withdrew his fingers, fearing that Huijianzhi would notice something unusual.

She looked at Ye Zhihan's pale face from afar, and her heart ached uncontrollably. However, she had no power at all. Even if she went out, she would not be a match for Hui Jianzhi...

Got it! Mingluo came up with a plan. She suddenly grabbed Hui Jianzhi's feet and used the inexplicable power in her body to pull Hui Jianzhi down. Before Hui Jianzhi could react, she slipped out like a loach.

In just two seconds, Ming Luo relied on this miraculous power to exchange positions with Hui Jianzhi.

Confused, Hui Jianzhi looked at the black figure that flashed by above his head. He mistakenly thought it was Ye Zhihan's real body. What he controlled was just Ye Zhihan's clone, while the real body was hidden under his feet in the form of shadow. He said to himself: "It seems that I underestimated him..."

Looking at the dark and dense shadows around him, Hui Jianzhi suddenly fell into a state of rage. He clenched his hands and continuously cast talismans at the place where the shadow space was connected to the outside world, trying to break the shackles of the shadow space.

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Ming Luo immediately ran towards Ye Zhihan. She called out to him who was lying on the ground across the huge net, and her tears flowed like broken strings, unable to be stopped.

"Ye Zhihan! Wake up!" Ming Luo cried sadly. Was she too late? These talisman words were stuck to Ye Zhihan's body like they had taken root, and seemed to be getting tighter and tighter. No matter how hard Ming Luo tried to tear them off, she couldn't. Ye Zhihan had already fainted from being strangled by the talismans.

Without Hui Jianzhi's subsequent suppression, Ye Zhihan finally regained consciousness after vaguely hearing Ming Luo's tearful call. After sensing the furious Hui Jianzhi in the shadow space, he weakly praised Ming Luo, saying, "You are worthy of being my partner. You can even defeat the masters of the six major families."

"You are so awesome!" Ming Luo saw him wake up, and while crying, she struggled to tear off the talismans on his body, and also tried to push away the huge net that was in the way.

"This giant net was summoned by a magic weapon and must be retrieved by a magic weapon." Ye Zhihan raised the corner of his mouth. He was a little dazed. If this girl could stay in the Suma Continent, with her intelligence, what level of cultivation could she reach?

When Mingluo heard that a magic weapon was needed, he immediately ran to Muli, pried open the magic weapon he was holding tightly, and hurriedly ran back.

Although Mu Li fainted, his body still had the ability to perceive. He realized that someone was trying to steal his magic weapon, so he wanted to resist. However, because his true energy had long been exhausted, he could only squint his eyes slightly, trying to see who was trying to steal his magic weapon.

In a daze, he saw Mingluo's tear-stained baby face and a pair of big eyes full of spirit.

A girl? The only girl in the selection competition had already been eliminated by him in the first round, the Monster Forest. Could it be that Ye Zhihan had also formed a team with other contestants? Mu Li had no time to think before he fell into a coma again.

Mingluo imitated Muli and raised the magic weapon that looked like a gun towards the direction of the giant net. The giant silver net that was shining with electric light slowly shrank and finally turned into a bean and flew back into the magic weapon.

"Ye Zhihan! What should I do with the words on your body?" After Ming Luo put away the giant net, he hurried back to Ye Zhihan. When he saw his pale handsome face, his nose felt sore and he almost cried again.

After Ye Zhihan was no longer suppressed by the giant net, he moved his body slightly, and then tried to use Shadow Stream to disperse the talisman text. Several words on the surface were indeed washed away, but there were still several circles of words clinging to Ye Zhihan.

Ming Luo watched the washed-off words leap out like little lives and disappear into the snowdrifts. He didn't care about the novelty and just looked at Ye Zhihan with concern.
