Chapter 269: Hui Wu's Defeat and Settlement
A burst of magic exploded, causing the valley to tremble continuously and echoing continuously.
Liu Xia naturally felt such a terrifying noise. He also knew that the noise came from Lingxiang, but Hui Wu kept blocking him and he couldn't get away at all.
Besides, Liu Xia was worried about Banxia's safety, and was really anxious.
Just when Liu Xia was distracted, Hui Wu suddenly jumped up, his feet turned into eagle claws, and he swooped down towards him with demonic energy.
"boom!"
A cloud of dust flew up, rolling up the fallen leaves, like a blooming green flower.
When the dust settled, Liu Xia was nowhere to be found. However, Hui Wu was not angry. On the contrary, he was very excited because he could smell the scent of blood.
Although Liu Xia's cultivation was not high, he had developed very beautiful body movements during the Yuanqing period. When he saw Hui Wu moving, he quickly moved his spirit under his feet and jumped away.
Only then did Liu Xia understand the good intentions of Master Chengxin - at critical moments, physical skills can still save lives!
However, he was ultimately hindered by his cultivation level. Although he was not concentrated by Hui Wu, he was affected by the airflow when he fell. He rolled over and hit the tree, getting bruised all over.
The injury was not serious and did not hit any vital parts, but it was very painful and it was really difficult to move. Liu Xia struggled for a while but was unable to get up.
Seeing the dust and fog about to dissipate, Hui Wu's figure was looming. Liu Xia felt mixed emotions, but was helpless.
At this moment, the sword in his hand flashed and turned into vines, wandering around Liu Xia. After wrapping him up, green leaves and white flowers grew on the vines, some in bud and some in full bloom, just like the monster that was stabbed by it just now.
Although he smelled the scent of blood and knew that Liu Xia must be nearby, there was indeed no one around, and Hui Wu was really at a loss for a moment.
But just after he walked past a cluster of flowers, he suddenly smiled, waved his hand to signal the few monsters to look for him, and stomped on the cluster of flowers at his feet.
That was the flower cluster that had grown after being pierced by the Huasheng Sword. Hui Wu stepped on it and there was no monster inside. It was just an ordinary cluster of flowers, but the branches inside the flowers were dark red, as if they had eaten flesh and blood.
Hui Wu frowned, feeling a little more hesitant.
He saw Liu Xia's moves clearly just now. If anyone was hurt in the slightest by the sword in his hand, he would end up like this. Now it seems that he has to be more cautious.
Although Liu Xia was surrounded by lush greenery, she could still see the outside clearly. This scene looked very familiar, as if...
It was just like the method used by the mountain tree spirit during the second martial arts performance.
Now Huiwu is leading the remaining monsters, searching for the flower cluster, which is not far away from him.
“Crackle… crackle…”
Flowers were constantly being destroyed by monsters, and the shrill roars became clearer and clearer, which meant that Huiwu was getting closer and closer to him.
The last time I saw Hui Wu, I felt that his demonic aura was fierce and fierce. He looked very different from what I had seen before. I was afraid that I would not be his opponent if I were alone, but...
But now it is imminent!
"Bang!"
Just when Liu Xia was extremely anxious, another burst of magic exploded in the valley, which instantly calmed him down. He couldn't help but recall what Lingxiang had said to him in the Bamboo Garden.
…
"In spiritual practice, everything requires the right opportunity. Just let it happen naturally. Don't worry about other things. It's just that the time has not come yet."
"Isn't letting things take their own course just letting things happen? Then how can we know when the opportunity comes?"
Lingxiang smacked her lips. "How can you say you're letting things take their own course? That's letting things take their own course. Going with the flow, on the other hand, means never slacking off and working diligently on a daily basis. Only then will you be prepared for any crisis, right? You reap what you sow."
"As for the right moment, that's hard to say. It's like the essays written by candidates for the imperial examinations. Each candidate has his own story, and even thousands of people have thousands of words. Who can say who will write the best? Writing poetry and prose doesn't happen overnight. There are times when things get difficult, and there are also times when ideas flow like a spring."
"The Jieshi Hermit was hesitant to make his decision, and it was because he offended Mr. Changli's procession that he gained his fame in later generations, didn't he?"
"You should think more about what you already have, rather than what is out of reach. Once you relax, opportunities will naturally come."
…
Relax...
Liu Xia took a deep breath, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and delved into his sea of consciousness, searching silently. Suddenly, he felt a surge of energy surging through his body, the same feeling as during the second martial arts rehearsal.
“Crackle… crackle…”
The noise outside the cage didn't bother Liu Xia at all. Instead, it made him focus even more intently on observing the chaotic flow of energy. This energy seemed so close, as if he could grasp it with just a touch.
Clusters of flowers were destroyed until only one was left, and there was no sign of Liu Xia. Seeing that only one cluster of flowers was left, Hui Wu smiled defiantly and waved towards the lush greenery.
The monsters immediately swarmed up and rushed towards the cluster of flowers with roars.
Just as those cold blades and sharp claws were approaching, at this moment, a stream of air rushed out from the cluster of flowers, and the green leaves were like nails, flying in all directions.
Hui Wu dodged quickly upon seeing this, but those monsters were not so lucky and were shot into sieves.
After a moment, everything returned to calm, the monster stood still, and time seemed to stand still. At this moment, the scattered leaves turned back from all directions, turned into pieces of broken blades, and gathered together.
“Crash!”
The monsters fell one after another without even a scream. As the monsters fell, a person was sitting in the place where the broken blades gathered. It was Liu Xia, who was holding the hilt of the sword and meditating with his eyes closed.
He has broken through!
A gust of wind blew, and Liu Xia's hair fluttered wildly. She suddenly opened her eyes, pinched her fingers and made hand gestures, and flew towards Hui Wu quickly.
When you break through the realm, your power will increase dramatically, and this is the best opportunity to win!
Hui Wu was hiding behind a tree. Just as he was about to turn around to check, a cold light suddenly stabbed at him. He was so frightened that he quickly put his hands together to block it. But just as the sword was clamped, it turned into pieces of broken blades and flew towards him.
"Spiky edges...spiky edges..."
The sword blades that opened were like flying birds, making a harsh sound when colliding with each other.
Hui Wu quickly retreated to dodge, but those broken blades seemed to have eyes and would chase him no matter where he hid.
However, Hui Wu did not seem impatient. He dodged the pursuing blades cautiously, as if he was playing with them, until he passed through who knows how many trees and suddenly turned and rushed towards Liu Xia who was holding the hilt of the sword.
Hui Wu understood the principle of "capture the leader first to capture the thief." Liu Xia only had a bladeless hilt in his hand. It was unclear how he could resist his claws.
The forest wind whistled past his ears, as if cheering for Hui Wu.
Just as the pair of sharp eagle claws were about to catch Liu Xia, at this moment, the broken blades swarmed over, gathered into a ball, and turned into a shield between the two of them.
"Zheng!"
With a dull sound, a crazy expression froze on Huiwu's face, but before he could fall, the shield turned into pieces of broken blades and flew towards him.
Hui Wu hurriedly retreated, but his wrist was still pierced by a broken blade. Just after Hui Wu was stabbed, the broken blade finally calmed down and gathered into a sword again.
Instead of blood flowing from the wrist, a leaf sprouted out, just like the monster pierced by the sword. Seeing this, Hui Wu tore the injured arm off without hesitation and threw it to the ground.
Even after being torn off, the green leaves on the broken arm continued to grow until they wrapped around the broken arm and bloomed into blood-red flowers.
“Ah!”
Hui Wu roared, someone couldn't tell if it was because of pain, unwillingness, or anger at losing his arm. But even so, Liu Xia showed no mercy and walked towards Hui Wu step by step, sword in hand.
When cutting the grass, you must remove the roots!
Looking at Liu Xia who was gradually approaching, Hui Wu's eyes were bloodshot with anger, a look of resentment and unwillingness, and then he disappeared in a flash.
When Liu Xia saw Hui Wu disappear, he breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly sat down on the ground dejectedly.
Fortunately, Hui Wu escaped, otherwise Liu Xia really wouldn't have been able to hold on. Although Fang Yi's breakthrough had indeed increased his power dramatically, the spiritual energy consumption was also enormous, and he was only able to hold on with all his might.
Liu Xia was just planning to take a short rest when he was suddenly struck by lightning and thunder. Thunderbolts from drought struck one after another, echoing throughout the valley.
