Bai Ying slowly stood up, deciding to drop her disguise.
Then she saw that a large group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators had surrounded her again.
Bai Ying stopped, a cold smile on her face. Her eyes swept over the crowd surrounding her like knives, and she said, word by word, "You actually dared to chase after me. You really don't care about life and death. What? Aren't you afraid that I will use my secret technique again?"
The sound was crisp yet chilling, echoing softly in the somewhat oppressive space.
After speaking, Bai Ying showed no sign of backing down. Instead, she walked towards the crowd with a straight posture and steady steps, each step seeming to touch the hearts of everyone present.
She exuded a resolute aura, as if the ferocious enemies before her were nothing more than insignificant ants.
Although the group of cultivators had surrounded Bai Ying with their superior numbers, the lingering fear deep in their hearts, stemming from Bai Ying's terrifying secret techniques, clung to them like a leech.
Upon hearing Bai Ying's intimidating words, a small commotion arose in the crowd. Many people subconsciously took a few steps back, their eyes filled with fear and vigilance. They stared intently at Bai Ying's every move, afraid that they might become the next victim of her secret technique, as if Bai Ying might suddenly launch an attack and drag them into an endless abyss.
However, after exchanging glances, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Xiyun Sect did not retreat but instead stepped forward.
"Come on! Use it again. We'd love to see how powerful your secret technique is."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying gritted her teeth and squeezed out a single word: "Fine!" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stretched out her finger, as if preparing to unleash her secret technique again. Sure enough, the group opposite her instinctively raised their hands to block, and their bodies leaned back slightly.
At this critical moment, Bai Ying seized the opportunity, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and instantly summoned her immortal sword, fleeing madly into the distance like a streak of light.
Seeing this, the sect leader of Xiyun Sect was not angered by Bai Ying's actions. Instead, he laughed heartily: "I knew I was right. She has no more means to deal with us. Everyone, let's attack together. This time, we must take her down! After we get the formula, I will torture her severely and make her regret everything she has done to my Xiyun Sect!"
Bai Ying pushed her flight speed to the limit, transforming into a phantom that flashed across the sky and earth.
In her panic, she summoned the Dragon Ball artifact she had just repaired. Instantly, a giant dragon appeared in the air, its massive form baring its fangs and claws, blocking the path of the group of cultivators and attempting to shield Bai Ying from their pursuit.
However, the dragon artifact proved utterly vulnerable in the face of the combined might of several Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, the cultivators unleashed their respective magical treasures. With flashes of light, powerful spiritual energy attacks poured forth like a torrential downpour. Under this dense barrage, the giant dragon artifact was instantly blasted into countless fragments, dissipating into specks of light in the air.
Bai Ying felt a pang of heartache.
This magical artifact had been with her for a long time; it was only damaged before, but now it's completely unusable.
Even this brief moment bought Bai Ying a precious bit of time.
Her speed increased again, and she seemed to become one with the wind.
At the same time, the jade pendant that had been nurtured within her body began to operate at high speed, emitting a soft light and continuously providing her body with restorative power, replenishing her rapidly depleting spiritual energy.
Bai Ying swiftly retrieved the Lightning-Attracting Seal. Her hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals, unleashing bolts of thunder accompanied by dazzling lightning, relentlessly blasting towards the pursuing crowd.
At the same time, she manipulated the incense burner artifact, unleashing all the primordial energy contained within, as if smashing it onto the group of people.
The powerful force released by these magical artifacts did indeed create some obstacles for the pursuing cultivators, successfully stopping some of them.
However, Bai Ying faced an extremely powerful enemy—several Nascent Soul stage experts whose strength was unfathomable. While these attacks temporarily slowed the enemy's advance, they couldn't stop everyone.
Bai Ying was truly at her wit's end.
She had used every trick in the book, but her opponent was simply too formidable. She had exhausted all her abilities and employed every method imaginable, but against such a powerful adversary, it all seemed to be in vain.
So many Nascent Soul stage cultivators stood before her like an insurmountable mountain, far beyond the reach of a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator like herself.
Am I really going to die here?
Bai Ying's mind was filled with memories of her journey so far, and she felt a deep sense of resentment.
She had just killed Qin Hua Zhenren and had not yet taken revenge on Ruan Xinrou, nor had she killed that Void Refinement stage cultivator from Huayang Sect.
The thought that two hundred years from now, if that Void Refinement stage cultivator were to emerge from seclusion, his terrifying power could raze the entire Lingxiao Sect to the ground in an instant, turning it into ruins. Her beloved teachers and friends, those vibrant faces, could be mercilessly crushed and tortured to death in the blink of an eye. This horrifying thought, like a demon, relentlessly tormented her, filling her heart with fear and despair.
In her mind, she seemed to see that horrific scene: corpses littered the Lingxiao Sect, blood flowed like rivers, and familiar figures lay in pools of blood, never to wake up again.
No!
She can't die like this!
Just then, Bai Ying suddenly recalled the corpse of the True Immortal she had seen when she first entered this secret realm.
The corpse was incredibly terrifying; the sheer pressure it emitted was enough to kill all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Bai Ying clearly remembered that in her previous life, she had only gotten slightly closer to that corpse when she was nearly driven to annihilation by its earth-shattering pressure. But now, this dangerous corpse had become her only glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.
Since they are so relentless in their pursuit, determined to wipe them out completely.
Then let them all die!
