Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Victory is mine
Yun Miao, caught in the midst of her busy schedule, swept her mind and saw smoke and dust filling the sky behind her. The entire earth seemed to tremble, and terrifying golden spiritual energy surged and churned through the area like a meat grinder. She was delighted at first, but then, upon closer inspection, she realized the three pursuers were nowhere in the area. They had vanished!
not good!
Yun Miao immediately sped up and flew forward, but a yellow figure from behind caught up with them as quickly as the wind and stood in the air in front of them.
Uncle Wang, who had just flown over from the river, looked at the three people greedily and fearfully.
"As expected of a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, you possess so many valuable resources. If we didn't have the key to freely enter and exit the secret realm, we would have been completely ensnared by you three immature brats."
"I wanted to play with you guys, but now it seems like we should just end it quickly."
Yun Miao didn't listen to what he said at all. He turned around and fled again, controlling the flying sword.
[Hurry, hurry, Xiaobai, throw a few more of that talisman and blow him up into the sky!]
“No more.”
Tan Xiaobai said with a sad face, "That yellow talisman was given to me by my master to save my life. He said that even a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation stage wouldn't be able to defeat them... Damn it, they actually used the key to escape. That's cheating!"
Uncle Wang sneered, "Oh, you're still a kid after all. In the world of cultivation, there's no such thing as cheating. It's just the survival of the fittest."
He mobilized all his spiritual power and pushed his hands forward. In an instant, the earth trembled, and a giant palm made of gravel and soil came from deep within the earth and slammed down towards Yun Miao and the other two.
Compared to the giant palm, Yun Miao and the other two were just like three tiny mosquitoes. Seeing that there was no escape, Yun Miao could only use all her strength to drive the ladder to the sky to open a defensive barrier to protect her, Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai.
As the giant palm descended, the barrier of the ladder shattered instantly. The disciple robes of the three men glowed brightly for a moment, then quickly faded. Only a dim glow enveloped them, like a candle in the wind, poised to go out at any moment.
Yun Miao and the other two fell heavily in the woods, and the broken iron sword, which had broken into two pieces, bounced and pierced into a nearby tree.
They coughed and helped each other to stand up. Huo Xin gritted his teeth and stood in front of Yun Miao and Tan Xiaobai with his sword drawn: "I'll stop him, you go first."
"You can't stop me. I'll do it!"
Yun Miao took a step forward and looked at the red-named monster with cold eyes.
She was really angry. Although it was indeed difficult for a player at the ninth level of Qi Refining to defeat a player at the fifth level of Golden Core, it didn't matter. As long as the red-named monster had a health bar and the player's attack did more than 0 damage to the red-named monster, theoretically the player could clear the level—even without any damage!
Today, destiny is on my side and victory is mine!
"I can."
Huo Xin took a deep breath. She wasn't as emotional as Yun Miao. She just frowned and said word by word, "I can."
Then, she raised her head and swallowed a pill, her entire body erupting in flames. The scarlet flames quickly spread to the long sword in her hand, exuding a cold and fierce aura. Her aura also rose steadily with the flames. First, Qi Refining, then Foundation Establishment, and finally the Golden Core Stage!
The black-clothed girl, who usually looked the most stern, was now like a ball of fire, rushing towards Uncle Wang with burning murderous intent.
"Walk!"
Yun Miao was shocked to see the rapidly increasing realm and the continuously decreasing health bar in the prompt box above Huo Xin's head. Then he cursed loudly: "Let's go! Let's grab our weapons and kill him!"
Because both swords were gone, she simply took out the Shangfang Bao Sword, poured golden spiritual power into it, and a sharp sword light appeared on the tip of the wooden sword.
Seeing the boss pick up a fat "eggplant" and rush forward to chop people, Tan Xiaobai's blood boiled, and he immediately rushed forward with a folding fan in hand. Yun Miao angrily scolded him speechlessly: "What are you following him for? Stand back and shock him hard!"
A ranged guy runs up to fight in close combat, this guy must be crazy
"oh oh."
Tan Xiaobai came to his senses and hurriedly ran back to increase the distance. Then he continued to harass Uncle Wang from a distance with his thunder balls, thunder snakes, and thunder arrows, trying his best to give Yun Miao and Huo Xin the opportunity to attack.
"Is this... burning blood?"
Wang Bo underestimated the enemy at first, and was quickly cut on the arm by the combined attack of Yun Miao and Huo Xin. Blood quickly dripped onto the ground. He ignored the minor injury and looked at Huo Xin with a hint of surprise.
"Using a knife can also burn blood. No wonder I felt that your eyebrows and eyes were familiar just now. It turns out that you are from the Huo family."
Huo Xin didn't say anything. Her face became paler and paler, but her eyes became brighter and brighter, and her attacks became more and more brutal.
Yun Miao also said nothing, but just kept attacking with an expressionless face! Attack!
Uncle Wang didn't take the two little girls seriously at first, but when he saw that they were fighting with a life-or-death attitude, he couldn't help but laugh at their naiveté.
The Huo family's secret technique of burning blood is indeed powerful, and the black-clothed girl's talent is indeed high. It is so high that after using burning blood, she directly ascended from the third level of Qi Refining Stage to the third level of Golden Core Stage. However, no matter how strong it is, it is just a castle in the air.
After all, she is still an ant in the Qi Refining Stage. How could she have so much spiritual power and blood in her body to burn?
He didn't even need to make a move. If he just waited for a cup of tea, she would die from her own burning blood.
And that Xuantian Sect master's direct disciple was even more ridiculous. The black-clad girl at least had a secret technique called "Burning Blood," but she had nothing. She was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, yet she dared to charge forward and fight him. Was she thinking her own death wasn't fast enough? Or did she think her courage could bridge the gap between Qi Refining and Golden Core stages?
Young Master Yun Bushan just actually praised such a fool as being so smart that he was almost a demon. It was so hilarious!
However, after a moment, Uncle Wang could no longer laugh.
The black-clothed girl's speed was astonishing. With her fearless fighting style, her already vigorous swordsmanship became even more powerful, and she actually brought the strength of the third level of the Golden Core Stage to the extreme.
If he fails to keep up, her scorching blade will quickly leave a deep bloody mark on his body!
The girl in the Qi Refining Stage was also very troublesome. Her magic weapon was very powerful, and every time she hit him, it was packed with a tremendous force. Even he didn't dare to resist it head-on, and could only dodge or block it with attacks.
From a certain perspective, she herself was even more terrifying. He slapped her away with one palm and saw with his own eyes that the precious light on her disciple uniform completely disappeared. She was also beaten so hard that her ribs were broken and she was spitting blood.
But the first thing she did when she got up was to gobble down her food with a blank expression, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Uncle Wang still remembered the shock and astonishment he felt when he first saw her act like this. Taking elixirs to replenish spiritual energy and repair injuries during battle was normal, but why would someone eat buns, pastries, and jerky in a life-or-death crisis? Did she think she was just a child out for an outing?!
Uncle Wang was very sure that she was not without elixirs, because he had clearly seen her take out the Soul-Restoring Pill and the Rejuvenating Pill from her storage bag and throw them to the other two.
But these are actually not important. The most important thing is... after the green-clothed girl ate the food, her injuries recovered significantly faster, and those minor wounds healed at a speed almost visible to the naked eye!
At first, he thought that those foods were also some rare and precious things made from natural materials. However, no matter how he scanned the foods with his spiritual sense, he could only conclude that most of them were ordinary mortal foods.
A small amount of food contains a little spiritual energy, but it is really just a little bit. It is not even one tenth of the effect of a first-grade rejuvenation pill!
Why? What is this ability that is even more outrageous than the Huo family's blood burning ability?
Uncle Wang couldn't figure out why, and he didn't have the time to think about it at this moment. He could only knock the girl in green away again and again, and then watch her get up again and again with an expressionless face, rushing towards him with that ridiculous wooden sword in her hand, just like a puppet that couldn't feel pain.
If the girl in black could briefly match his strength with the help of burning blood, then the girl in green was like a fearless ant, stubbornly trying to bite him, the elephant, to death!
As long as he didn't kill her with one slap, her injuries would recover quickly, and she would bite off a piece of flesh from him.
Although there are not many ants, only this one, but this one is enough to match thousands of troops!
This subtle inhumanity was so eerie that for a moment, Uncle Wang even thought the girl in green wasn't some Qi Refining Stage cultivator, but some kind of murderous monster that had crawled out from deep underground. Otherwise, he couldn't explain how a human could achieve such a level of skill.
*
In the dense forest with fallen trees and messy ground, an old man in yellow clothes who was originally rich and respectable stood in the center with half of his body stained with blood. His bun was cut off, and his white hair that had long lost its luster was scattered in a mess.
His initial underestimation of the enemy and subsequent distraction due to shock had caused him to lose the initiative in this battle. At this moment, he could only breathe rapidly and use all his strength on defense.
He suddenly remembered that all he had done in the Yun family over the years was bullying the weak. When he encountered a stronger enemy, there would always be retainers stronger than him to take action. Ordinary small families did not dare to provoke the Yun family.
After all, he had been living in comfort for too long. The young cultivator who was once full of vigor and vitality has long since become old. Not only his appearance has become old, but also his heart of Taoism.
He clearly...had...had something...
Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore. Just wait a little longer. These three people won’t be able to hold on for long. As long as he waits a little longer, victory will definitely belong to him!
Yun Miao and Huo Xin were in even worse condition than the old man. Their disciple uniforms were soaked in blood, and they almost looked like bloody people. It was hard to believe how a person could have so much blood in their body.
The one who suffered the least injuries at the scene was Tan Xiaobai, but he was not feeling well either. He released a large amount of spiritual power without any care and swallowed a lot of soul-restoring pills to quickly restore his spiritual power, which caused great damage to his dantian and tendons. Under such repeated and brutal impacts, every spell he cast at this moment was like a thousand cuts to his dantian and tendons.
The severe internal pain made his face pale and frightening. The sweat on his forehead wet his clothes. Sticky blood flowed from his ears and nose, and blood seeped out of his skin. However, he ignored all this and just tried hard to blink away the sweat on his eyelashes, staring at the old man's chest with his dilated pupils.
Faster, faster!
Yun Miao quickly saw through Uncle Wang's intentions. She frowned and glanced at the health bar above Huo Xin's head: "He's stalling for time. Huo Xin..."
Huo Xin quickly took out the porcelain bottle that Yun Miao had just thrown to her and stuffed the last pill of the Dead Tree Rejuvenating Pill into her mouth. The sixth-grade pill was indeed magical. Her body, which was already on the verge of collapse, seemed to have really revived, quickly sprouting branches and leaves and returning to its peak state.
She took a deep breath, and the flame that had been waning in her body rose again. Her eyes were now as bright as the dazzling sunlight.
"Ahem, I can still hold on for a quarter of an hour!"
Yun Miao raised his sword and rushed forward: "Okay, then we will finish him off within this quarter of an hour!"
At this moment, Tan Xiaobai suddenly shouted, "I'm fine, I'm fine! Huo Xin, Boss, you guys step back first!"
Okay? What's okay?
Although Yun Miao and Huo Xin did not understand what Tan Xiaobai meant, they still retreated immediately. Uncle Wang no longer dared to underestimate these three people, and upon hearing this, he quickly moved away from his original position.
Just as they were retreating, Tan Xiaobai had already bitten his fingertips and quickly made hand gestures. The blood formed a huge vermilion talisman in front of him, and arcs of electricity appeared and jumped in front of Wang Bo's chest, as if echoing with the talisman.
"The mighty power of heaven, the roar of thousands of thunders!"
Those tiny arcs of electricity were far from the roar of thunder, but they exploded with a bang at the moment the talisman's light shone brightly. Uncle Wang stumbled, his upper body clothes completely reduced to rags, hanging on his body, his chest flesh charred black, and a little blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
The countless shocks in Uncle Wang's mind finally turned into a hint of horror and hatred in his turbid old eyes. It turned out that those thunder spells were not only harassment, but also directly drawing talismans on his body with the residual lightning!
A Qi Refining Stage talisman cultivator doesn't need cinnabar or yellow paper, just a little lightning and blood can actually achieve this... Is this what talisman cultivators mean by "a little spiritual light can make a talisman, while today's people waste ink and cinnabar in vain"? [Note 1]
"Xiaobai, good job!"
Before Yun Miao finished her words, her sword stabbed towards Wang Bo's throat again. Wang Bo dodged immediately, but Huo Xin had appeared behind him at some point, and his dodging was as if he was actively putting himself on the tip of the knife.
With the sound of the knife tip entering the flesh, blood splattered, staining half of Huo Xin's face red, and one of Wang Bo's arms flew up and down.
Huo Xin let the blood drip down her eyelashes and swung the long knife to chop at Wang Bo's neck again.
Tan Xiaobai tried hard to open his eyes wide to see the battle situation over there, but his vision became more and more blurred. He swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, staggered and held onto the tree beside him, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
"Cough cough cough."
Did he help the boss and Huo Xin? That's great.
"So this is also a genius, haha... genius!"
Uncle Wang covered his broken arm with his hands, and looked at the two girls in front of him with his cloudy old eyes sinisterly, as if he wanted to chew the word "genius" bit by bit and swallow it into his stomach.
Then he suddenly turned around and roared, powerful earth spiritual power gushed out from his palm, and the huge palm print, wrapped in terrifying momentum, slapped towards the black-clothed girl who was nearby!
"Huo Xin!"
Yun Miao immediately urged the ladder that was originally aimed at Wang Bo to fly towards Huo Xin. But at this moment, Wang Bo quickly reached out and grabbed the high-speed emerald ball, refusing to let go even though the sound of his finger bones breaking continued.
"Ahhh! Die!"
Bang!
As Yun Miao flashed in front of Huo Xin, the huge palm print also engulfed her and Huo Xin's figures.
Crack... The ridiculous Shangfangbao sword in her hand finally broke...
A flash of ecstasy flashed across Wang Bo's eyes, and then... he watched helplessly as the giant, ochre-colored palm print was split apart by an invisible sword energy. A deep crack appeared in the earth, and the air before him twisted into a strange shape.
The crazy old man was split in half in an instant. The ecstasy froze in his eyes, and he had already fallen to the ground and was dead.
Yun Miao's mind was blank as he gasped for breath, staring blankly at the "broad road" in front of him that was split in half by a sword.
Then she lowered her head and looked at the half-broken Shangfang Bao sword in her hand. It turned out... this was what her master meant when he told her to bring a wooden sword with her when she went out.
It turns out... there really was a sword hidden in the sword she lied about.
Suddenly! A sound of breaking air came rapidly towards her. She looked up suddenly and saw Huo Xin, who was originally standing behind her, flashed and blocked her with his sword.
As the sound of golden swords clashing rang out, Huo Xin pointed his toes and transformed into a ball of fire again, rushing towards the brothers from Yunbu Mountain and Yunbu Temple who were attacking him secretly. Two more streams of blood mist splattered.
Two dead bodies fell to the ground with their eyes open, their eyes full of shock and horror.
When they saw the fierce battle, they hid aside, intending to let Wang Bo and the three men die together so that they could completely eliminate future troubles. However, they did not expect that in the end they would end up losing their own lives.
However, the black-clothed girl who had swung that beautiful knife suddenly swayed. She subconsciously wanted to use the knife to support her body, but the knife in her hand had broken at some point. Only a very short section of the blade remained on the handle, and the broken section of the blade was stuck in the ground in front of Yun Miao.
Yun Miao's pupils shrank and he rushed over to catch Huo Xin's falling body.
The fire on Huo Xin's body had gone out, and her face was as pale as ashes. A small sword the size of a palm was deeply embedded in her abdomen. Blood was flowing out uncontrollably, and her body was getting colder and colder.
Yun Miao felt her heart begin to turn cold. She suddenly realized something: everyone she had seen so far had a health bar, including Huo Xin, Tan Xiaobai, her master, and her senior brothers...
Just like a person will die if he is killed, Master and the others all have health bars, which means... they can all be killed.
The spiritual energy ball in her Dantian suddenly spun rapidly, forming five greedy vortexes, and began to frantically try to extract the spiritual energy from the outside world for its own use.
However, the spiritual energy in this secret realm was so thin that it was almost weird. There was not much spiritual energy available at all. A breeze was swirling around Yun Miao with difficulty, and the five whirlpools in his dantian were still drawing energy continuously. The remaining spiritual power in his tendons and veins was soon drained away completely.
Without the protection of spiritual power, the powerful suction was like a knife cutting into her fragile tendons and veins. But Yun Miao didn't feel any pain, and at the moment, she had no time to care about her body.
Huo Xin didn't realize Yun Miao had suddenly realized something. She smiled weakly and pinched Yun Miao's cheek, leaving a few bloody fingerprints on that dirty face. "You protect me once, and I will protect you once too."
"Stop talking and take your medicine quickly! Where's the Rejuvenating Pill? Where's the Soul-Restoring Pill? Where's the Rejuvenating Pill?"
Yun Miao had already given all the pills she had to Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai, so at this moment she could only reach out to Huo Xin's storage bag and try to find some usable pills.
"I finished eating it a long time ago. And it's useless. Burning blood first burns spiritual power, flesh and blood, then bones, and finally... ahem, lifespan."
Huo Xin coughed, slowly turned his head to look at the gray sky, and spoke in a light tone.
"Yun Miao, before my mother died, she said she didn't want me to wield a sword out of revenge. Now I wield it out of protection. Do you think... would she be happier if she knew?"
Yun Miao gritted his teeth and spoke word by word: "No, no mother would be happy because of the death of her child. Your mother will only call you a fool and a fool!"
Huo Xin smiled again: "Really? That's not bad."
Yun Miao ignored her nonsense and turned to shout into the distance, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, do you have any medicine? Huo Xin seems to be dying..."
Her voice was loud at first, then gradually weakened, and her tone trembled: "Xiao...Xiaobai?"
"Xiaobai..."
Huo Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Then I have to hurry down. He's so timid, he'll cry if he walks the Yellow Springs Road alone."
"I won't cry."
The girl in green blinked her eyes, and a round tear rolled down her cheek. The blood that slid down her cheek dripped onto Huo Xin's face, but there was no expression of sadness on her face.
She gently placed Huo Xin on the ground, then glanced at Tan Xiaobai, who was sleeping with his eyes closed under the tree, and said word by word, "I won't let you die."
As she spoke, she picked up the broken knife on the ground, and then slashed her own throat with the knife in front of Huo Xin's constricted pupils!
Let her die here with them this week. Next time, she will definitely save them! *
In the pitch-black death space, the huge bronze sundial continued to rotate non-stop.
System [You have died, please choose to rewind or revive at the original location. ]
Yun Miao chose to rewind with an expressionless face.
*
On the riverbank, Yunbu Temple sneered: "Don't waste your energy. This is an ancient relic, and it belongs to an ancient powerful being..."
He subconsciously stopped talking halfway because the look in the eyes of the green-clothed girl in front of him suddenly changed for some reason. It became extremely aggressive, and the cold murderous intent was like the piercing light of a sword.
The young girl in green had a cold look in her eyes. "Stop talking nonsense. You're here for the Xuanxin Mine, right? The Yun family dared to get their hands on the Xuantian Sect's mineral resources and profit from this business. They deserve to die."
Yunbusi was frightened by her sudden outburst of momentum and took a step back: "You...you really do know!"
Yun Bushan's expression turned grim. "We thought you were just guessing, but looking at you now... could it be that you already have some evidence?"
"you guess?"
The green-clothed girl's tone grew increasingly ruthless. "Since you dare to come and kill us, you'd better kill me now. Otherwise, when I get out, I will definitely report you to the sect and have you killed!"
Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai exchanged a bewildered and wary glance, unsure of what was going on. Hadn't they been speculating before? Why was Yun Miao suddenly so certain that the Yun family had a hand in the Xuanxin Mine?
And the current situation is obviously not in their favor. Even if Yun Miao knew the Yun family's conspiracy, she shouldn't have said it directly. What exactly does she want to do?
Before the two could figure out what was going on, the two Yun brothers, filled with fear and panic, had already ordered Uncle Wang to take action.
