Chapter 76 She is not yet a qualified master of impartiality.
Huali was startled and was about to take out her wood-type card to heal Wenjin when Lianzhuo, who was not far away, also coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The Twenty-Eight Constellations Chart had consumed too much of his spiritual power. In addition, the Gu poison that had spread but been suppressed by him when he came by tearing space with his bare hands completely went out of control the moment he saw Huali.
Three beads on her wrist suddenly exploded.
The gilded Buddhist light surrounding the Buddha suddenly distorted when it touched Wen Jin's hand, which was wrapped around Hua Li's waist.
The lotus pattern between his brows was crimson, like dripping blood. With a shift in his gaze, his Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed more of the metallic sweetness. "Rosewood..."
Huali was startled, only then realizing that Renzhuo's condition looked very bad.
His eyelashes trembled like broken butterfly wings, a bead of blood slid down his chin from the corner of his lips, and his gaze toward her was like glass shattered by moonlight.
He stubbornly kept repeating her name, "Karin".
*
At this moment, Huali felt the helplessness of a mother of two. Both children were equally precious, and how to be a qualified master of balancing them was an age-old problem.
The wooden card in her hand emitted light and split in two before the eyes of the Buddha and the Demon Lord.
One end was wrapped around Wen Jin's blood-soaked back, while the other end, coated in her blood, was pressed against the Buddha's cold lips.
However, before she could even catch her breath, Ao Bai suddenly spoke up: "Host, look!"
Huali turned her head and discovered that the King of Jealousy, along with the other three kings, had somehow taken their places on Wen Tingyun's four sides and were forming hand seals in unison.
Huali: "!!!"
As a die-hard fan of fantasy martial arts dramas, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She forcefully pulled Wen Jin's hand off her waist and, ignoring his suddenly darkening gaze, urged loudly, "Hurry, hurry, they're going to give their cultivation to Wen Tingyun. This guy's about to unleash his full power, run!"
Sure enough, she had only run a few steps when the spiritual power of the four kings transformed into four beams of light of different colors, heading straight for Wen Tingyun in the middle.
Having broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Wen Tingyun waved his folding fan, unleashing a surge of powerful spiritual energy. Wen Jin, unable to retrieve Hua Li, suddenly raised his hand to clash with her, spitting out another mouthful of blood in the process.
Just as Huali was about to help, the city wall was quickly destroyed by the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, and boulders rolled down and flew straight towards her.
The earth-element card appeared as summoned, and Huali's wrist suddenly tightened, causing the concentric bracelets to collide and make a crisp tinkling sound.
The Buddhist monk shattered the boulder, and drops of blood seeped into the soil from the hem of his snow-white monk's robe, just as he had always done before, tightly protecting her behind him.
"It's alright, don't be afraid."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden burst of flames appeared on the horizon.
As Lian Zhuo formed hand seals to activate her defense, a man wearing a black hood appeared out of thin air. He drew his fiery bow and charged straight at Hua Li.
Bang bang bang—
All three arrows were shattered by Lian Zhuo at the same time.
Upon seeing this, Wen Jin, who was fighting with Wen Tingyun, instantly turned cold. "You're courting death."
Wen Tingyun was also taken aback, his expression no better than Wen Jin's. He raised his voice and said, "Zhan Li, step back!"
The man named Zhan Li sneered, but his voice was that of a clear young boy, “You think you can order me around? You’ve wasted too much time in Sunset City.”
As the fire-type card in Huali's hand burned, she heard Zhanli sneer, "Just kill everyone here."
However, before he could finish speaking, the swastika-shaped Buddhist light in Lian Zhuo's hand suddenly shot towards him.
Zhan Li froze, "Another Nascent Soul stage cultivator?"
"Amitabha."
"Golden Body Devouring Demon Curse, slay!"
As the pillar of light rose from the ground, Zhan Li, still unwilling to give up, drew back the Fiery Bow and fired ten arrows at once, all of which were annihilated in mid-air by Lian Zhuo's formation.
The Buddhist monk paused, swallowing the metallic taste in his throat.
A flash of resentment crossed Huali's eyes as she watched the battle reshuffled by Zhanli's addition, something burning rapidly in her bright eyes.
The spark of anger quickly spread like wildfire.
She didn't want to be a carefully nurtured flower; she wanted to be a resilient blade of grass standing tall against the wind in the wilderness.
If we get hurt, we get hurt together; if we bleed, we bleed together. What's the point of leaving her all alone?
The next second, Huali rushed out of Lianzhuo's protective circle and summoned an earth-type card.
"All directions are exhausted, trapped!"
As the card was thrown, the entire ley lines of Sunset City instantly hummed. The pebbles embedded in the brick seams floated and trembled in the air, and the stone slabs underfoot seemed to stack up like scales.
It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Since her transmigration to the present, she has participated in countless battles, both large and small.
It's understandable that she needed protection when she was weak, but she shouldn't continue to hide behind others when she has the ability.
Only by rolling around in the mud like a wild dog, constantly getting hurt and bleeding, can one survive in the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation!
In the end, you have to rely on yourself!
bite--
The system headquarters notification sounded promptly: "Mission Four is now open. Assist the Demon Lord in defeating the enemy. Mission reward: half a star."

Wen Tingyun looked at Huali in shock, but it was too late to stop them. The four kings, who had given him half of their spiritual power, were simultaneously blasted by the overwhelming earth and stone formations.
The continuous flow of spiritual energy paused, then suddenly transformed into streams of light.
The surrounding terrain made it easy for Huali to use local materials. The next second, a meteor shower fell from the sky, shooting down Wen Tingyun and Zhan Li along with them!
If you look closely, you'll notice that the meteorite that fell on Wen Tingyun's head was exceptionally large compared to others.
Of all these people, he has the worst leg condition, so his chances of hitting the target are definitely higher than others.
After two waves of attacks, even Zhan Li's gaze towards Hua Li changed repeatedly.
Huali skillfully spat out a mouthful of blood and bared her teeth viciously at him.
She wasn't afraid when the mission wasn't started, and now that the mission is there as a safety net, she's even less afraid.
Blood still clung to Kaori's eyelashes, yet her pupils shone like shattered stars falling into a deep pool. The corners of her eyes, surrounded by the pain of life loss, did not appear fragile; instead, they shone with a dazzling light, as if tempered by fire.
Zhan Li was stunned by the blood-stained, bared teeth of the rosewood, and when he turned his head, he saw the huge obsidian that had been knocked away by the Taotie earlier hurtling towards him!
You have no martial ethics and you just want to shoot her, huh?
Even if I can't beat you to death, I'll make you furious!
Zhan Li was indeed enraged. Overwhelmed with anger, he suddenly pulled out a blue compass from his Qiankun bag and threw it at Hua Li.
The moment the compass hit the ground, Wen Jin and Lian Zhuo's expressions changed, and the two of them almost simultaneously unleashed their spiritual power.
Wen Tingyun and Zhan Li both coughed up blood.
Seeing the intense killing intent in Zhan Li's eyes, Wen Tingyun twirled his folding fan and slashed it directly at Zhan Li's neck.
As Zhan Li retreated swiftly, he fired ten flaming rockets simultaneously, disappearing into the twilight.
At the same time, the bronze array plate rapidly rotated and expanded beneath Huali's feet, instantly enveloping her entirely.
This familiar action startled Huali, and she suddenly looked up.
Wen Jin and Lian Zhuo's magical powers surged simultaneously! Two opposing forces attacked her together!
"Rosewood!"
"Rosewood!"
The cyan array plate shrank to an inch, disappearing with Huali as the two rushed over.
