"Elder Protector, join forces to kill this traitor!" The old man glared venomously at Xiaoman. "I will not be able to quell my hatred until I turn her into a dried-up human body."
"Understood!" the three replied in unison.
The area was completely sealed off.
Xiaoman's lips twitched as she sensed the power emanating from the four people. Her gaze settled on the person on the far left. "His strength is about the same as mine. I'll find an opportunity to kill him first."
Once he made up his mind, he kept creating afterimages in the same spot.
No matter how the enemy attacked, they were unable to locate the main body.
"Imprison this place," the old man said angrily. "Let's see how she tries to hide."
The three nodded, raising their Force to its limit. The four auras merged, creating an immense pressure.
Under immense pressure, his physical agility decreased, forcing him to dispel the stealth effect.
"superior!"
Two middle-aged men arrived quickly.
Xiaoman smiled strangely and unleashed a sword strike.
A look of disdain flashed in the eyes of the left-wing man, and he threw a punch, instantly shattering the sword's edge. "Overestimating yourself."
Suddenly, the space in front of him cracked open, and a blood-red short sword was stuck in his body.
"you?"
The middle-aged man reached out to pull it out, but a suction force came from the hilt of the sword, causing his Force to drain away rapidly.
He was greatly alarmed and was about to speak when the primal force within his body began to drain away even faster.
"What an eerie woman."
He looked straight at his companions, hoping they would come to his rescue.
Xiaoman created countless afterimages around him, scaring the three of them away.
This delay meant the best opportunity for rescue was lost.
The person affected experiences a rapid decline in vital energy, and their body gradually becomes shriveled.
A scream rang out, and the man died.
At the same time, Xiaoman appeared next to the Bloodthirsty Sword and grabbed it in her hand.
The feedback force was so strong that it directly broke through the bottleneck and entered the peak of the intermediate level of Martial Venerable.
Such a rapid growth startled the three of them, causing them to unconsciously take a half-step back.
"Go all out."
The old man rushed forward first, followed closely by the other two.
Xiaoman immediately retreated, creating afterimages to mislead the opponent's judgment.
As I ran, a sudden realization dawned on me.
I dared not be distracted by the experience; I could only let it be.
As time went on, this feeling grew stronger and stronger. Giving up would be a real shame, so I had no choice but to take the risk and experience it.
Their speed slowed, and the three surrounded them.
At the same time, Xiaoman saw flashes of what she had learned, faster and faster, until she could no longer see them at all.
A very strange feeling welled up inside me.
"This feeling is so strange?" He frowned slightly, his mind a jumble of thoughts.
"Go to hell!"
The middle-aged man's roar brought some clarity to his mind, and a blurry afterimage gradually became clearer.
A crimson shadow shot straight into the sky, a ball of flame igniting in its hand, accompanied by a high-pitched bird cry.
A devastating sword beam slashed across the sky, instantly tearing a gaping hole in the heavens.
"So this is how powerful it is when you combine all your skills?" Xiaoman smiled and moved with the crimson shadow, "Evil Phoenix Sky-Splitting Thrust!"
The Bloodthirsty Sword burst into flames, forming a fully grown evil phoenix that charged towards the three.
"Get out of the way!"
A deep fear flashed in the old man's eyes, and he retreated with all his might.
The two middle-aged men were not as fast as him; their bodies were struck by the flames, and they immediately cried out in pain.
It vanished completely in an instant, leaving not even a trace of ashes.
The flames subsided, revealing two Force Pills.
Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and with a wave of her hand, they landed in her palm.
"Witch, you, you?" The old man was so shocked and frightened that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"Do you still want to take me as your apprentice?" He squinted, a growing smile spreading across his lips.
The old man was furious. "I shouldn't have wasted so much time talking to you! I hate it!"
"How about we start over?" Xiaoman asked earnestly.
"Pfft, pfft!" The old man pounded his chest, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.
"Sigh, is it really that hard to find a mentor these days?" He shrugged helplessly.
The old man was overcome with anger and anxiety, his breathing became disordered, and he could barely stand.
A glint of light flashed in Xiaoman's eyes. "Now."
A fleeting afterimage appeared.
The old man quickly mobilized his primal force to protect himself.
The shadow appears on the reverse slope.
He turned around quickly and slammed his full force into the shadow.
boom!
The lingering force raged, shattering all the shadows nearby.
The old man felt a sense of relief, withdrew some of his original power, and warily watched his surroundings.
Xiaoman sat on a rock in the distance, a smile on her lips, playing with two Force Beads.
"How dare you look down on me?"
He raised his index finger and said, "Dead people don't need to be respected."
"you?"
The old man's anger surged to the top of his head. Just as he was about to unleash his full power, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, startling him.
There was a short sword stuck there, only the hilt remaining.
A flash of red light appeared, and the Force was rapidly draining away.
The more you use the Force to resist, the faster it drains away.
He slowly knelt down, his body completely drained of strength, and glared venomously at Xiaoman, "Using such evil methods to kill someone, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Retribution?" Xiaoman smiled faintly. "When you wreaked havoc in the interstellar space, did you not think about retribution? When you sacrificed the lives of the planets, did you not think about retribution? The cultivation method I use is evil, but my heart is righteous, and I will never suffer retribution."
“And your retribution is me.”
With a snap of his fingers, the Bloodthirsty Sword devoured the old man with all its might, instantly turning him into a dried-up corpse.
The Bloodthirsty Sword flew back, giving rise to even greater power.
After absorbing it all, I'm almost at the bottleneck again.
"The sect leader of the Yellow Springs Sect hasn't appeared yet; this level of strength is definitely insufficient." He crushed two Origin Force beads, absorbed them into his body, and assimilated them using his internal energy...
More than half an hour later.
Xiaoman suddenly opened her eyes, a satisfied smile spreading across her lips. "Early stage of advanced Martial Venerable? That's enough!"
He stood up and looked towards the deepest part of the Yellow Springs Sect.
"I didn't sense any powerful aura. Could it be that the sect leader of the Yellow Springs Sect isn't here?"
Questions arose in my mind, and I cautiously explored ahead.
They arrived at the entrance of the main hall, but still didn't see a single person.
"Silence is always a sign of trouble; let's sense it first."
He unleashed his full sensory power, probing the entire hall.
"Is there really no one here?" He frowned slightly, his expression serious, his gaze shifting constantly.
Suddenly, his gaze settled on the chair in the main hall.
Approach at full speed and search carefully.
"Could my judgment be wrong? That shouldn't be the case; I must have overlooked something."
Upon further investigation, a small bulge was found under the seat.
Hesitantly, he pressed down with the Bloodthirsty Sword.
Crack! Boom!
The wall cracked open, revealing a dark passage below.
A strange, extremely unpleasant smell wafted over.
"poisonous!"
Hold your breath, step aside, and use your internal energy to expel toxins from your body.
It returned to normal in a short while.
"The space inside is narrow, making it a safe spot for stealth and concealment."
Instantly enter stealth mode.
He walked slowly up the steps, constantly looking around.
The moment my right foot touched the ground, I heard the sound of the secret passage closing above me.
"Could this be a trap set by the enemy?"
"Since we're already here, why not go and see what happens? When will we be able to return to Earth?"
Two voices battled fiercely within my heart, and the latter prevailed.
"Brother Tian, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will come back to see you as soon as possible."
With unwavering determination in his eyes, he strode forward to explore...
On the other side.
Xie Gang paced back and forth anxiously outside the secluded training ground of Sect Master Gui Zangtian.
"Sect Master, the situation is dire, when are you going to come out?"
I grew increasingly anxious and almost broke down the door several times, but I managed to restrain myself.
"Eighth Elder, go and rest for a while. I will inform you as soon as the Sect Master emerges from seclusion." - Gui Zangtian's confidant.
"Xiao Zhan, you don't know what's going on outside." Xie Wang was very anxious. "That damned woman's strength is terrifying. I'm worried that Xie Tong and the others won't be able to stop her."
"So, after all this time, the enemy is only one person?" A hint of contempt flashed deep in Xiao Zhan's eyes. "If the entire Yellow Springs Sect can't even handle one woman, do you think you'll have any chance of survival after the sect leader emerges from seclusion?"
Xie Wang was worried about his younger brother and had never thought of it this way before. He was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Thank you for the reminder. I will return to my sect immediately to fight the enemy together."
Xiao Zhan nodded.
Xie Wang turned and left.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Zhan tossed a long sword to him. "Take this with you."
Thank you.
After watching him leave, Xiao Zhan's face immediately darkened, and his fists clenched tightly. "A bunch of good-for-nothings. If the sect leader hadn't given instructions before going into seclusion, would I have wasted so much time talking to you?"
......
Carrying the treasure, Xie Wang traveled swiftly and soon arrived at the secret passage.
Just as I was about to speed up, a feeling of unease rose in my heart.
"Could something have happened outside?"
He shook his head. "With so many elders and protectors around, nothing should happen. But why do I have this feeling?"
They used their senses to investigate carefully, but found nothing.
"We can't delay any longer."
Running at full speed, he became a long, blurry shadow.
Before long, they arrived at the middle of the passage.
An unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart, and he immediately stopped, holding the sword to his chest.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
As time went by, Xie Wang's temples were covered in cold sweat; he was extremely nervous.
"I know you're here, get out here!"
The roar echoed through the passageway.
After a long while, the sound disappeared, and nothing changed in the surroundings.
"Looks like I was being too cautious." He gave a wry smile and stepped out with his right foot.
Suddenly, I heard a whooshing sound behind me.
Despite twisting his body repeatedly, he was still unable to dodge and, in desperation, used his long sword to parry.
when!
Xiaoman's stealth effect was broken.
"You brat, it really is you!"
"Old dog, who else could it be but your great-aunt?"
A deep hatred flashed in Xie Wang's eyes, "I will avenge my brother."
"You'd better go down and keep him company."
The bloodthirsty sword flipped and pierced straight into the heart.
"You really think I'm easy to bully?"
The longsword hummed as it slashed with all its might at the Bloodthirsty Sword.
The aftershocks raged, and the mountain walls trembled continuously.
Xiaoman frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "This place is not far from the secluded cultivation location, so we must not make a big commotion."
Change your fighting style and keep moving around the area.
The afterimages were endless, making it impossible for Xie Wang to determine the location of the real body.
The more I fight, the more panicked I become.
In contrast, Xiaoman remained completely at ease, manipulating him at will.
Xie Wang was seething with anger, so he poured all his power into his longsword, causing the void to tremble.
A yellow blade of light, hundreds of meters long, gradually took shape.
"Go to hell!"
Xiaoman's lips twitched, and she unleashed a blood-red sword beam.
The blade and sword beams surged forward at breakneck speed...
