Chapter 757 Chapter 759
When Sun Ruilin noticed the movement of the soul ring, he also noticed the condition of the host. The host was in a state of separation from his body and was obviously seriously injured. If it were not for this reason, he would not have been able to sense the existence of the soul ring.
Although the intrusion of the five level five monsters just now wasted some time, it also proved that there were no more powerful monsters in the tree hole, so he blasted open the door of the tree hole without hesitation and rushed in first.
When Rong Xianxian saw Sun Ruilin enter the tree hole and walk straight towards the entrance where she was hiding, she immediately activated the soul-calming bell in her hair. After the opening of the Purple Mansion, Rong Xianxian's spiritual power was more than twice as strong as before, and the power of the soul-calming bell was also much stronger. Rong Xianxian took advantage of the moment when Sun Ruilin was dazed by the soul-calming bell and slashed at his neck with the Soul-Devouring Knife. The tip of the knife was sharp. Although Sun Ruilin subconsciously dodged backwards after sensing the danger, the skin on his neck had been cut by the blade and blood was gushing out.
"Haha." Sun Ruilin woke up from the pain and immediately shot a hidden sword at Rong Xianxian. Seeing that Rong Xianxian dodged it easily, he was about to shout loudly, but he found that his tongue was stiff, as if it was knotted, and he could not make any sound at all. He felt cold all over and wanted to run away, but he felt his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He struggled to move back a few steps and then knelt on the ground.
Rong Xianxian knew that the people who came were all cultivators in the Life Fire Realm, so she used the spirit seed in the Soul-Devouring Sword to devour the soul and spirit to prevent the pursuers from being killed instantly. She was afraid of alerting her accomplices who were still outside, so she smeared the neurotoxin extracted from the body of the belly-screaming snake on the blade of the Soul-Devouring Sword. After being poisoned by the snake, Sun Ruilin, who was unaware of the situation, immediately circulated his spiritual energy to fight back, causing the toxin to take effect quickly, resulting in the scene just now.
"Senior Brother, we are here to help!" The three people watching outside saw that there was no response from inside and were afraid that Sun Ruilin would take the treasure for himself, so they looked at each other and jumped in one after another.
"Brother, how is it going? Have you found the soul ring?" The light in the cave was dim. One of them saw Sun Ruilin's posture and thought he had discovered something, so he asked hurriedly.
Sun Ruilin did not respond. Just when they realized something was wrong, a person appeared out of nowhere in front of Sun Ruilin. It was Rong Xianxian, whose invisibility cloak had expired. The moment the three of them stepped into the tree hole, Rong Xianxian had already activated the Soul-Calming Bell. Two of them ignored Rong Xianxian's appearance and rushed towards Sun Ruilin as if they had found a treasure. What greeted them was the blade of the Soul-Devouring Sword.
Only Wei Yanhong, who was at the back, was not affected by the Soul-Calming Bell. His pupils shrank slightly and he immediately drew his sword. Seeing his companions behaving abnormally, he reached out and grabbed one of them in time. The other was cut on the neck by the Soul-Devouring Knife, and blood gushed out, and he fell headfirst next to Sun Ruilin.
Rong Xianxian raised her knife and slashed at the remaining two pursuers. Wei Yanhong kicked away his dazed companion, shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand suddenly glowed, and he went to fight Rong Xianxian.
The companion who had just been affected by the Soul-Calming Bell finally came to his senses after being kicked. He didn't dare to get close to Rong Xianxian anymore. He stretched out his hand, and a vine grew out from his palm. Countless vines tied up Rong Xianxian like slender ropes. Inside this ancient tree with rich wood spiritual energy, the power of the vines was far greater than before. The two of them, one main attacker and the other auxiliary, cooperated perfectly.
The space inside the tree hole was narrow. Rong Xianxian had no way to escape the siege of the two people. She used an ice spell, ice fog, and a layer of white frosty air rose around her. The vines immediately condensed into a layer of frost after entering the area around Rong Xianxian. However, there was something strange about the long sword in Wei Yanhong's hand. After the long sword entered the range of the ice fog, Rong Xianxian was unable to sense the position of the long sword through the ice fog. You must know that the ice fog was transformed from Rong Xianxian's own spiritual energy and was controlled by her. Not only could she freeze weapons that entered the range of the ice fog, but she could also control all movements within the ice fog.
Restricted by the rules of the Ancient Realm, Wei Yanhong had just advanced to the Life Fire Realm. However, the sword in his hand was not an ordinary spiritual weapon, but a magical weapon of a high level. It not only protected him from the influence of the Soul-Calming Bell, but also allowed him to avoid spiritual perception and be immune to all spells of the same level or below.
Rong Xianxian was seriously injured when she was promoted. She relied on elixirs, magic wines, and rich spiritual energy and wood energy to barely recover. Even with the help of external forces, there were still hidden dangers in her body. When she encountered a strong enemy, she was unable to defeat him after a long attack. Instead, she was stabbed by the sword many times. Her Vajra Talisman was broken, her armor was pierced, and her clothes were stained with blood.
"Hand over the soul ring and I can let you live today!" Seeing this situation, Wei Yanhong was afraid that Rong Xianxian would fight back desperately and both sides would be destroyed, so he didn't want to push her too hard.
"I want to send a soul ring. Let's see if you can survive to get it." Although Rong Xianxian was injured in the fight just now, she also dealt with the other person who was blocking the entrance of the tree hole. After she said this, she jumped out of the tree hole.
"Want to escape! Humph..." Wei Yanhong snorted coldly and chased after him. When he came to the entrance of the tree hole and looked out for Rong Xianxian's figure, he did not see Rong Xianxian. He only saw a black ball dragging flames flying towards his chest at a rapid speed.
Wei Yanhong reflexively blocked the long sword in front of his chest, and the long sword collided with the black sphere with a loud "bang". The black sphere exploded, and countless fragments shot towards Wei Yanhong in 360 degrees without dead angles. Wei Yanhong crushed a crescent-shaped jade pendant, and a halo appeared around his body. This halo blocked all the fragments, but could not block the huge airflow generated by the explosion. The strong airflow pushed him into the tree hole, and he fell beside the dead Sun Ruilin and others. The halo was also overwhelmed and disappeared with a "bang". The flames produced by the explosion filled the entire tree hole, and thick smoke billowed around. After the airflow weakened, Wei Yanhong climbed up, opened the storage bag, covered his head with a hooded black robe, and ran out against the fireworks. He had just run to the cave entrance when a knife appeared out of thin air and stabbed into his chest.
"You, you..." Wei Yanhong looked at Rong Xianxian who was slowly appearing, staring at her intently, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
