The demonic cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage was gone, and the injuries in her sea of consciousness had completely healed.
Could it be...?
Lu Fuyue quickly closed her eyes and circulated her internal energy within her dantian. After a long while, she had some guesses in her mind.
So that's how it is. The Ice Phoenix Ancestor once gave her three protective spiritual energies at the Mahayana stage. Just now, in a critical moment, one of them was triggered, which saved her life.
Lu Fuyue turned her head and glanced back at Tianlin City. At this moment, the city was already covered by a thick black demonic aura, and it seemed to have lost all life.
But she knew that there were many human cultivators fighting against the demons inside.
Each of them could potentially die in this city.
Lu Fuyue was extremely heavy-hearted. She dared not delay at all and circulated her cultivation technique all the way, heading east at the fastest speed. But not long after she left, fifty or sixty demonic cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage immediately surrounded her.
Amidst the billowing black mist, they revealed themselves, and a large group of demons approached Lu Fuyue from all directions.
"I didn't expect there to be a human cultivator here."
Lu Fuyue could tell their identities and cultivation levels at a glance. Among these demonic cultivators, the lowest cultivation level was the late Golden Core stage.
Her body tensed instantly, and she slowly stopped. Her hand, hidden in her sleeve, activated its spiritual power. Unnoticed by anyone, a ball of golden-red flame appeared out of thin air in her palm.
This large group of demonic cultivators were almost all at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and their auras were solid. With her current cultivation level at the early Golden Core stage, it would be difficult for her to escape from them.
Lu Fuyue's heart sank even further.
Unless divine fire is used, but...
The leading demonic cultivator stroked his large beard and sneered, "Humans all have delicate skin. Especially these female cultivators, their flesh is even more tender. Perhaps absorbing their essence will increase our demonic power."
He waved his hand and said, "All of you, come at me together! Whoever captures this female cultivator gets to keep her!"
The other demonic cultivators got excited, "Great idea, great idea!"
Those of average cultivation who came to Tianlin City to attack the human race were stationed near the city to prevent any human from escaping and sending messages to those outside.
That's why they haven't tasted human food for a long time.
It's been several hundred years since the last time they ate people.
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened, and taking advantage of the moment when these demonic cultivators were not paying attention, she raised her hand and waved the divine fire hidden in her sleeve at them.
Since that's the case, let's give it our all!
Instantly, several clusters of golden-red phoenix lotus divine fire fell upon these people, burning fiercely and intensely.
The leading demonic cultivators were scorched by the Phoenix Crimson Lotus Divine Fire, their bodies covered in cold sweat as they rolled on the ground, screaming in agony. Even their souls were severely affected.
After all, this is no ordinary divine fire. Unfortunately, with Lu Fuyue's current cultivation level, she cannot use too much Phoenix Red Lotus Divine Fire. Otherwise, with just this, she could easily annihilate this group of demonic cultivators.
The other demonic cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly retreated, not daring to go forward. "What exactly is this thing? Why is it so powerful?"
One of the late-stage Golden Core demonic cultivators took a few steps back in fear, "Hmm...it seems to be the legendary divine fire?"
Upon hearing this, the other demonic cultivators also hurriedly retreated, wondering, "Could it be that Buddhist treasure, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?"
"Impossible. Although the colors are similar, I didn't see any red lotus."
Lu Fuyue sneered, and before these demonic cultivators could react, she raised her hand and waved her sleeve, summoning the Weak Water Zither.
Her fingers flew across the strings, and the instant the music began, the flames of the divine fire instantly intensified, turning the demonic cultivators it had just touched into ashes.
But at that moment, the other demonic cultivators who were not burned by the divine fire immediately realized the key to the matter.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. This female cultivator is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. No matter how high her talent is, she can only control a small amount of divine fire. As long as we attack from different directions, we can kill this female cultivator."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances. They were all at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and after being reminded, they could naturally see that Lu Fuyue was indeed as the demonic cultivator had said.
Otherwise, they could be easily killed by simply unleashing a large amount of divine fire.
With a fierce look in their eyes, they exchanged a glance and nodded, then began to attack Lu Fuyue from different directions.
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and leaped into the air. At the same time, the music she played on the zither gradually quickened.
Azure spiritual energy emanated from her, spreading out in waves before quickly forming a circle that trapped all the demonic cultivators.
Countless ice blades rose from the ground, carrying a thick chill, heading straight for the demonic cultivator.
Immediately, all the demonic cultivators present felt a sense of unease. They all unleashed their demonic power to strike the ice blades, but the ice blades turned into droplets of water mist the moment they touched the demonic energy, silently soaking their bodies.
Just as they realized something was wrong, countless water droplets condensed together and transformed into pieces of white gauze, appearing out of thin air and binding them tightly together.
At the same time, Lu Fuyue swayed, forcibly suppressing her discomfort, and slowly landed with her zither in her arms.
But as soon as she landed, she suddenly fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Feeling the dry, cramping pain in her dantian, Lu Fuyue smiled bitterly. This one move had exhausted her spiritual energy, leaving her dantian severely depleted.
Upon seeing this, the demonic cultivators glanced down at the white veil around their waists, their eyes instantly filled with disdain. "We thought humans were so powerful, but it turns out they're all just for show. They look impressive, but they're all just bullshit!"
"A mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator dares to be arrogant in front of us!"
"Today we'll teach you a lesson."
After saying this, the demonic cultivators laughed loudly, and with a forceful pull of their hands, the white gauze turned into a pile of tattered cloth and fluttered down from the sky in no time.
"Now it's our turn to make a move."
The demonic cultivator's eyes hardened, and he leaped forward, kicking Lu Fuyue in the chest with unstoppable force. The other demonic cultivators followed suit, wielding their longswords and thrusting at her vital points from various directions.
Lu Fuyue looked up at the scene, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes, and her body tensed up instantly.
At this critical moment, Lu Fuyue stood up again and quickly dodged the attack by turning her body to the side.
She didn't go to the Trial Tower for nothing; however, she was quite satisfied with her speed in dodging numerous attacks from peak Golden Core cultivators with her early Golden Core cultivation level.
However, simply hiding isn't enough!
