Chapter 29 The Mature Sword Whale Falls, Help!
Lin Jianyu was indeed at her last gasp. She was able to stand up only because she thought Lin Jinshui had appeared, and she was startled awake from her deathbed.
However, even if you lose, you shouldn't lose face.
Even if she can't even stand up straight, she can't lose in verbal combat.
"Go! Killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus. Let's see who is lucky enough to become a dead soul under my sword today."
As she said this, Yun Dan and the others also struggled to their feet.
Yun Dan was alright; although he was injured, the injury wasn't serious. He was just exhausted of spiritual energy and his physical strength was a bit lacking. Zhu Liu was in the same boat.
Zhu Jin was not doing well. He was badly injured and was barely breathing, but he was still struggling to get up.
Lin Jianyu really wanted him to stop struggling and get up. They couldn't beat him anyway; at most, they would just die with some dignity.
The cultivators had originally planned to go up, but seeing them all getting up, they suddenly became a little timid.
They say the stubborn are afraid of the ruthless, and the ruthless are afraid of the reckless. These guys all have that recklessness written all over their faces.
Fighting someone who doesn't value their life can easily cost you your life.
Although the cultivators of Gouqu Mountain are known for their toughness, not every one of them is. The few they encountered today were clearly not tough; even though they were injured so badly, they were still hesitating.
Of course, this is all thanks to whale falls.
If Whale Fall hadn't just swiftly killed two undead, they wouldn't have hesitated.
The two sides remained deadlocked for two or three minutes before the other side finally made its move.
Two attacked Yun Dan and Zhu Liu respectively, while the other three focused their firepower on Lin Jianyu. Zhu Jin was ignored because he hadn't gotten up.
Lin Jianyu looked at the three cultivators wielding swords and attacking her, thinking that it was unnecessary, as she couldn't defeat even one of them.
Fortunately, the cultivators of Gouqu Mountain seemed to be more skilled in physical attacks, giving her a chance to fight back. Unfortunately, the swords hurt a lot when they hit her.
Her swordsmanship was taught to her by Wen Boyan, relying entirely on physical attacks without using magic. It still caused some damage, but even the strongest fists can't fight off four hands, let alone three opponents, who together had six hands.
Within three minutes, one of the cultivators stabbed her in the shoulder with a sword.
That's not the worst part. The worst part is that they could stab her so easily, but she couldn't stab them because her swords weren't even drawn.
"Whale fall, help!"
"You are now a mature sword; you must learn to fight on your own."
"Ouch, that hurts."
These three cultivators have no martial ethics. Not only did they fight three against one, but they also showed no mercy. How could a weakling like her possibly endure this?
After taking another sword blow to his arm, Lin Jianyu accidentally dropped the Whale Fall sword from his hand.
Without his weapon, facing three menacing swords, Lin Jianyu could only cry for help.
"Help! Master, come quick, I can't hold on any longer."
Before she could finish speaking, she was kicked and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out blood.
Before she could react, a cultivator thrust his sword at her. She didn't even have time to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the sword pierced her face.
No sooner said than done, a familiar figure once again blocked her path.
"Senior Brother Zhujin, no!"
Her answer was the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.
She watched helplessly as the sword pierced through Zhu Jin's body, only to be pulled out again in a short time, splattering blood all over her face.
The blood was hot, but when it splattered on her face, it chilled her to the bone.
"Ah... Senior Brother, Senior Brother Zhu Jin." She crawled to Zhu Jin's side, covered his wound, and channeled spiritual energy into him.
"No, it's no use." Zhu Jin grabbed her hand, coughing up blood as he spoke, not wanting her to waste her spiritual energy.
“It works.” Lin Jianyu said stubbornly, but her spiritual power was really low. It was difficult to stop Zhu Jin’s bleeding. She felt his breathing becoming weaker and his body getting colder and colder. She was on the verge of collapse.
"Master, please help me, I need your energy."
All she can rely on now is the immense energy contained in the drop of heart's blood within her body; she needs to absorb that energy to save Zhujin.
"Master, please help me." As she finished speaking, a pale blue spiritual energy enveloped her body.
At the same time, Lu Jiao, who was resting with his eyes closed in the distance, suddenly opened his eyes.
The next second, he disappeared from the spot.
Qianli Jian, who was eating peanuts that Xuan Zhan had peeled for him, immediately transformed into his original form and followed along with Xuan Zhan.
Unaware that reinforcements were already on their way, Lin Jianyu felt her entire body brimming with energy and her spiritual power was overflowing. Without hesitation, she channeled all her spiritual power into Zhu Jin's body to heal his wounds.
As she watched his wounds slowly heal and his color return, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the enemy's attack came down on her again. Looking at the swords aimed at them, she felt an impulse to kill for the first time, but she was powerless to do so and could only awkwardly dodge away with Zhu Jin.
Once she realized that the other party only wanted to target her, she stopped taking Zhu Jin with her and went away on her own.
While dodging, she also picked up a whale fall that had fallen to the ground.
With a weapon, she felt she was ready to fight again. She stopped dodging and charged at the enemy's sword, sword in hand. However, since her sword was not drawn, she was at a disadvantage against the drawn sword of her opponent.
Especially since there were four of them, while she was all alone.
That's right, that good-for-nothing Zhu Liu was defeated in just a couple of moves and collapsed to the ground.
The cultivator who was fighting him did not kill him outright, but instead turned his sword to kill her.
It really is...
Is it really necessary to deal with a weakling like her?
What she didn't know was that, in the other person's eyes, she was no weakling.
Because no weakling could fight as bravely as she did, and no weakling could fight four strong enemies without drawing her sword, using only the scabbard, and still survive.
Although Lin Jianyu was not beaten to death, she was covered in wounds, including stab wounds and cuts, all of which were bleeding. Her new clothes, which she had just bought not long ago, were now torn in several places and stained with blood.
Although it was a matter of life and death, she was still furious and wished she could tear them to pieces.
Fueled by this rage, she managed to fight four people single-handedly and was not killed.
The bleeding was happening a bit too fast, and the familiar dizziness and palpitations returned. She knew that if this continued, she would definitely lose too much blood.
But in this situation, she had no way to stop her bleeding, and no one to save her life. She could only grit her teeth and block the enemy's attacks in an effort to avoid getting hurt again.
Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.
How could someone fight four opponents without getting injured?
Almost as soon as she finished thinking, she was stabbed again.
The pain was so intense that her whole body went numb.
She began a tactical retreat, staging a drama of her fleeing, him chasing, and her being unable to escape.
Seeing the sword coming at her again, she subconsciously glanced at Zhu Jin. Good, he was lying flat on his back, and it was highly unlikely that he would rush up to block the sword for her again. This time, she was really going to die.
Just as she was hesitating whether to make one last desperate struggle or lie down and let herself be stabbed, a miracle happened.
Several ice arrows shot from behind her towards the cultivators, like a roc spreading its wings, blotting out the sky.
Her savior has arrived.
In that instant, she almost burst into tears of joy, and as if all her strength had been released, she collapsed heavily to the ground.
As soon as she sat down, someone pulled up her collar from behind, and the familiar feeling of suffocation surprisingly made her feel comfortable.
She struggled to steady herself, turned around to look at the person behind her, dressed in blood-red, beautiful and flamboyant, it was indeed her boss.
"Boss, you're such a jinx! I almost died!" She rushed over and hugged him tightly, crying her heart out.
Lu Jiao pushed twice but couldn't get away, and said coldly, "Let go."
"Give me a second chance to live, I'm about to die." Her vision was starting to go black.
Even from a distance, Lu Jiao could smell the strong stench of blood emanating from her. It was a mixture of her own and others' blood, and the smell was unpleasant, making his already restless heart even more agitated, and he wanted to kill her.
If Lin Jianyu hadn't grabbed him and wouldn't let go, those cultivators would probably be dead by now, though they wouldn't be much better off now.
They couldn't dodge his ice arrows at all, and Qianli seemed to dislike these people, slashing at them with his claws.
The claws of the Kunpeng can tear a person to pieces in a matter of minutes, making the scene incredibly bloody.
Lin Jianyu didn't look back, otherwise, her appetite for the whole day might have been affected.
"Boss, keep going, keep going, I'm about to die." As she said this, she rolled her eyes, as if she might faint at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Lu Jiao ultimately decided to save her life.
Although he would rather give her another blow.
After being given a second chance at life, Lin Jianyu did not immediately regain her vitality. Instead, her vision went black, and she fainted in Lu Jiao's arms.
Lu Jiao subconsciously reached out and caught her limp body, then let go, letting her fall to the ground, and then lifted her up by the back of her collar.
Lin Jianyu remained unconscious.
But his brows were furrowed, and his body was struggling slightly, as if he was in some discomfort.
It must be uncomfortable to have your neck constricted by a collar!
She was almost suffocating, struggling to wake up, but she just couldn't.
"Is Junior Sister alright?" After Xuan Zhan finished saving Yun Dan and the others' lives, he came over to check on Lin Jianyu. Seeing that she was being hung up by Lu Jiao, he quickly asked about her condition.
Lu Jiao then tossed Lin Jianyu to him, saying, "He won't die."
Xuan Zhan took Lin Jianyu, gave her a quick check-up, and confirmed that she had just fainted and was otherwise unharmed. He then carried her to Yun Dan and the others.
Zhu Jin had already woken up, but he was still very weak. Seeing that Lin Jianyu's eyes were closed and she was unconscious, he asked with some concern, "What's wrong with Junior Sister?"
"She fainted, probably due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy. The elder has already treated her, and she's fine now." After Xuan Zhan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the whale fall in Lin Jianyu's hand and asked, "How did the whale fall end up in Junior Sister's hands? Have you found the Sect Leader's Junior Uncle?"
"No." Yun Dan briefly recounted what had happened to him, saying, "It must be that Shui Shui sensed that Junior Sister was in danger and sent Jing Luo to rescue her."
"Why doesn't he come over himself?" If Whale Fall can come over, there's no reason why Lin Jinshui can't.
"I don't know," Yun Dan said. "The fact that Whale Fall was able to come here means he shouldn't be far from us, and maybe he's on his way right now?"
