On the way back to Lingyun Sect, only Yuexi and Li Wunian were on the trip.
"Junior sister, be careful. Your sword is a demonic sword. Many people have noticed it, and I suspect some people will covet it. Let's hurry."
"good!"
Yuexi was also a little nervous. She had won first place, but the sword had been exposed, and many cultivators on the field had different thoughts.
After receiving their rewards, they immediately wanted to return to their sect, but Lin Shengwen said he needed to buy some more things for seclusion and wouldn't be going with them.
Li Wunian said, "Senior Brother is really something. He didn't even escort us back. He insisted on waiting for Senior Sister Lanlan."
"It's alright. If something unexpected happens, we can just hand over the stuff. As long as we save our lives, that's all that matters."
In this world of cultivation, nothing is more important than life. If you lose something, you can find a way to get it back, but if you lose your life, it's truly gone.
The two crossed a small mountain peak and passed through a grove of trees when several people attacked them.
"Please wait a moment, fairies. Let's have a chat before you go."
A masked monk blocked their way, and then five other masked monks appeared beside him.
Good heavens, five Golden Core cultivators have arrived at once, two of them at the Golden Core Perfection stage and three at the Golden Core Eighth Stage.
Yuexi and Li Wunian looked grave; the enemy had too many people and was too strong.
Yuexi stepped directly in front of Li Wunian: "Senior sister, stay behind me, Yuexi will deal with them."
Seeing that the two were about to resist, the leading cultivator at the front made a gesture, and soon the five of them formed a circle around them.
The leader of the group said, "Hand over everything you have and you can leave. Otherwise, we'll kill you and take what we have."
Li Wunian said worriedly, "Yuexi, why don't we just give them to them?"
She didn't know Yuexi's current strength; she had only broken through one level in the competition, but she was probably still no match for these people.
"Master once said, 'Just do it, don't waste words.'"
Yuexi made her move immediately, and the Calamity Sword instantly emitted five streaks of red blood mist that rushed straight towards the five people.
"Be careful, it's bloodthirsty energy," the leading man warned.
The leading man struck out with a palm, trying to disperse the aura, but he couldn't stop it at all.
Before they could deal with the bloodthirsty power, countless threads rushed towards them, and they used all their strength to resist.
They didn't expect it to be so strong; it didn't seem like much in the arena, and they thought that so many of them could handle it.
Yuexi's face showed pain. The Calamity Sword was almost draining her spiritual power. On the arena, she only needed to deal with one person, but now she was dealing with five at the same time, which was very difficult for her.
"Junior Sister Yuexi, you're amazing!"
Li Wunian was overjoyed at the sight, but when he approached Yuexi, he was startled by her expression.
"Junior Sister Yuexi, what's wrong... Why is your face so pale... You've vomited blood!"
Yuexi held the Calamity Sword in her right hand and made incantations for the formation with her left. Her face was deathly pale and blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Yuexi said in a hoarse voice, "My spiritual energy is almost depleted. Senior Sister, give me the Rejuvenation Pill."
Li Wunian quickly took out a pill and stuffed it into Yuexi's mouth, while also wiping away the blood from the corner of her mouth.
Despite using all their skills and magical treasures, the five men could not get close to them, but the leader's hope was rekindled upon seeing Yuexi's condition.
He shouted to the group, "She's about to die. If she holds on any longer, she'll run out of spiritual power to control the sword."
The remaining people quickly grasped the situation on the field. Although they fought back with all their might, three of them with lower cultivation levels could not withstand the attack and were directly pierced through the dantian by the blood-red threads, dying instantly.
The silk threads drained the life force from all three of them, leaving the two remaining Golden Core cultivators with sharp eyes.
“Great, that way there will be even more.”
The leader immediately pulled out various talismans and launched a frenzied attack on Yuexi.
"Bang bang bang!" The continuous bombardment shattered all the threads.
Yuexi coughed up a mouthful of blood, and Li Wunian prepared to go forward to help.
Yuexi quickly shouted, "Senior sister, don't go! You can't beat them. I still have one more move I haven't used yet."
"Ah? Yuexi, don't force yourself." Li Wunian looked at Yuexi with concern.
The leading man and the other man exchanged a glance, then gritted their teeth and unleashed their strongest attacks, sending two powerful sword beams hurtling towards Yuexi and the others.
Yuexi gritted her teeth and formed a sword formation again, causing the Calamity Sword to continuously drain her blood and energy.
The sword formation instantly expanded, enveloping everyone. Bloodlust permeated the air, darkening the surroundings. Countless streams of bloodlust shattered the sword light.
Yuexi fainted and fell to the ground. The sword formation dissipated, and the surrounding bloody aura returned to the Calamity Sword.
By the time Li Wunian realized what was happening, all the enemies were dead, looking like dried corpses.
She hurriedly helped Yuexi up, stuffed several pills to restore her vitality and blood into Yuexi's mouth, and then used her spiritual power to guide them into her stomach.
"Yuexi, wake up, don't scare your senior sister."
Li Wunian quickly checked Yuexi's condition and saw that Yuexi was severely deficient in qi and blood, but her body was not seriously injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Severe deficiency of Qi and blood can be slowly recovered, but if the spirit and the foundation are damaged, then there is truly no hope.
She said regretfully, "I should have waited for Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister to go back together."
Li Wunian quickly circulated his spiritual energy to help Yuexi recover.
A moment later.
Seeing that Yuexi's complexion had improved slightly, she hurriedly led Yuexi away from the place.
They were afraid that if anyone else came, they would be in danger.
After flying hundreds of miles, she saw a place at the foot of the mountain ahead that was blocked by a huge rock, so she quickly flew down with Yuexi.
After landing, Yuexi leaned against the boulder. She used her divine sense to survey the surroundings and, finding nothing amiss, sat down cross-legged.
Ji Yun saw this scene as soon as he entered, and saw Li Wunian injecting spiritual power into Yue Xi's body.
"Yuexi is injured?"
A moment later, Yuexi opened her eyes and saw Li Wunian healing her wounds.
Li Wunian exclaimed happily, "Yuexi, you're awake?"
"Yes, thank you for your help, Senior Sister," Yuexi said gratefully.
"Oh dear, we would have really been finished without you. But you were so scary back then. You almost had all your blood and energy drained. If you had no blood and energy left, I really wouldn't have been able to save you."
Li Wunian was also shocked when he thought about what had just happened.
Yuexi said with some guilt, "I'm sorry to have worried you, Senior Sister. How are those people?"
"They're all dead. Their blood and energy have been drained from their bodies, and they've all become dried corpses."
Li Wunian curled his lip, looked at the sword beside him and continued, "This is a demonic sword. It even hurt its master. Don't use it."
Yuexi felt conflicted: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I know what I'm doing."
"Sigh, I'm just worried about you. This sword can devour its master, drawing blood and energy from him to fight. What will you do if it drains you dry one day?"
Li Wunian pouted, feeling a little angry that Yuexi wasn't listening to her.
