Chapter 61 Chapter 61 The sword is unsheathed!
Poison Lady: [I heard that the Xuantian Sect's Grand Elder, who had reached the Tribulation Crossing stage, was a young woman with white hair. A thousand years ago, the leader led the demonic cult's army in a surprise attack on the Xuantian Sect, but was defeated by the Grand Elder and the Sect Master.]
Grand Elder? Tribulation Crossing Stage?
Hua Xiugui and the other three demon cultivators were so frightened that their breath was held. Although the immortal molt was very precious, and the immortal molt that had been carefully cultivated was even more precious, it was not possible for a powerful being of such a level to personally attack them. How could they be so worthy as to do that?
Suddenly, another unfamiliar voice reached everyone's ears: "I didn't expect you to survive like this. I'd better crush your head next time. A broken head can't possibly be restored, right? Or can you find someone else's head and press it against yours?"
Hua Xiugui knew the words were directed at him. Hearing the woman's tone, filled with curiosity and eagerness to try, his scalp tingled. This wasn't a threat or a joke; she really wanted to give it a try!
Seeing the woman in white had already dispatched the Golden Core Stage Jade Scorpion and was now chasing them, everyone was startled and fled with all their might. The icy river water was stirred even more murky, and the fish fled in terror.
The rapid currents they stirred up shredded the aquatic plants along the way. Fish and shrimp that couldn't dodge were instantly killed by the terrifying force, either falling to the riverbed in pieces or floating belly-up. The scene was a chaotic mess.
But the woman in white - Yun Miao, who was controlling her external incarnation - was very happy. Hahahaha, karma has its way, and no one can escape it. Finally, it was her turn to chase after this group of people. This feeling was even more refreshing than drinking an ice cola in the hot summer!
But what made her happiest was that she had successfully borrowed the power of karma and instantly appeared behind the embroidered ghost. Her guess had come true!
By analogy, she can use the causal line to teleport to anyone who has had any contact with her!
Among the five cultivators, only Du Niangzi and Hua Xiugui were in the God Transformation Stage, and the remaining three demon cultivators were all in the Golden Core Stage and were still injured, so soon some of the unlucky ones were caught up by Yun Miao.
Yun Miao put her fingers together and slashed, a thin stream of water spirit energy blasting out from her fingertips, instantly severing the demon cultivator's head. Then, she channeled her water spirit energy again, breaking through the river water like a fish, easily dodging the spreading blood and chasing after the other demon cultivator.
During this time, she looked at her hands. This method of using spiritual power was too crude. The lethality was not proportional to the spiritual power consumed. This was really unbearable for a player who cared a lot about numbers and liked to be frugal.
But she was now a Spiritualization Stage expert, after all. She couldn't possibly use the Elementary Water Control Technique to fight, could she? If these red-named monsters had no intelligence, it would be fine, but the intelligence of these red-named monsters was so high that Yun Miao always felt that if she really used the Elementary Water Control Technique, they might laugh at her.
She couldn't help but recall the domineering posture of her master when he slashed the sky with a sword and sent snow flying all over the sky.
So cool, coach, players also want to learn this!
The female cultivator in white murmured, "We're still missing a sword."
She said she needed a sword, so she had one.
A light red causal line in the causal space was plucked by an invisible giant hand out of thin air like a guitar string. As the line quickly turned gray, a buzzing sound of swords suddenly appeared in the disciple residence of Xuantian Sect's Qifeng.
Many of the disciples of Qifeng who were either strolling in the peach blossom forest or working in the weapon refining room raised their heads as if they sensed something, and released their spiritual sense to look outside.
Suddenly, a colorful light shot up into the sky from somewhere where the disciples lived, followed by a clear and long sword roar. A gorgeous rainbow light circled in the air above the peach blossom forest and then disappeared out of thin air.
Everyone in the peach blossom forest faced the dazzling rainbow light and was immediately dazzled. They subconsciously closed their eyes to avoid it.
Pi Xixi hurriedly opened the door and ran out, only to find that she was still a step too late. She immediately raised her hand to the empty sky in grief and anger: "I haven't been tempered yet, I haven't been tempered yet, where are you going? Are you coming back for dinner?!"
The other disciples in the Disciple Residence were discussing in shock: "Did anyone see what that was?"
"I saw it. It was a sword, a seven-foot sword that was crystal clear and looked like it was made of colorful glass. It was truly beautiful!"
"No, no, no, it's not a complete sword yet. I can see clearly that it's just a sword embryo that hasn't been forged yet!"
"I wonder how strong it is?"
"It has such spirituality right after it was born, it must be a high-level spiritual treasure!"
"Even if it's a high-level spiritual treasure, it shouldn't be able to break through the limitations of the Heaven and Earth Cauldron."
"The glowing area just now is Junior Sister Pi Xixi's residence. I heard she's been experimenting with some blood-forging sword method lately. I think it's a blood oath of recognition. The sword embryo's owner must be from our Xuantian Sect, so the Tiandi Ding will naturally not stop it. Also, from the way I saw the sword embryo disappear out of thin air just now... it's likely capable of spatial travel."
"Space travel?!"
*
Because of the blood oath, Yun Miao and the sword embryo had a mysterious connection, so at the moment it was born, not only did everyone in the disciples' residence see it, she also "saw" it.
Yun Miao's eyes lit up at first. This colorful glazed sword was so beautiful. If it were in other games, it would definitely be a permanent fixture in the appearance store, and one would have to spend real money to own it. However, now she owned it without spending a penny. This was also amazing!
But she soon realized the sword was too conspicuous, and she was planning to use the white vest to do something her master and her friends had forbidden her to do. If the white vest and her true self wielded the sword at the same time, it would soon be discovered that they were the same person.
As she thought of this, the colorful glazed sword flashed and turned into an ordinary long sword.
Can you change your appearance? Awesome!
A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Miao's eyes. She first dealt with the second demon cultivator, and then quickly decided on the image of the sword after wearing the white vest!
Swish!
A flash of blood passed by, and the hot sword embryo appeared out of thin air at the bottom of the cold river. The surrounding river water was instantly boiled by it, bubbling, and a group of fish, shrimps, crabs and clams hiding in the corner were cooked in the blink of an eye.
The sword body is red all over, but there are crescent-shaped wave patterns that reflect the faint blue light, giving people the feeling of a flame exploding and burning in the water, or magma slowly flowing on the seabed.
But this sword, which exudes a dangerous aura, is now just quietly floating in front of the female cultivator in white, waiting obediently for its master to use it.
“Nice sword!”
The female cultivator in white ignored the terrifying high temperature, raised her hand and grasped the hilt of the sword, then used her fire spiritual power to slash at the only remaining Jindan stage demon cultivator in the distance.
The huge fire blade was even higher than the river surface. The terrifying high temperature instantly evaporated the river water wherever it passed. White steam surged, the water flow was interrupted, and the sunlight shone unimpeded on the mud at the bottom of the river. It took a full three seconds for the river water to flow back again.
The demon cultivator in the Jindan stage was also engulfed in the flames with a scream. Even though the river water on both sides flowed back, it was unable to extinguish the flames that were like a cancer attached to the bones. In the end, the man was burned to death in the river. In the blink of an eye, only two halves of his charred body were left floating to the bottom of the river.
This scene was so terrifying that Hua Xiugui and Du Niangzi couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten when they saw this scene with their spiritual sense, and they became even more wary of the woman behind them.
She had clearly used water power in her previous attack. Normally, it would be most convenient to use water power in a battle in a river, but she suddenly muttered about missing a sword, and then controlled the fire with the sword, burning a person to death at the bottom of the cold river. This was clearly a deliberate sacrifice of human life to the sword!
Her methods were even more demonic than those of these demonic cultivators. Is this really someone from the Xuantian Sect?
What they didn't know was that from Yun Miao's perspective, the thick mosaics covering the corpses ruined the atmosphere, making it difficult to convey the sense of slaughter. In her mind, she was just playing a game. So after killing one, she immediately swam towards the next red-named monster.
Hua Xiugui sensed the murderous intent coming from behind him and quickly shouted at the Poison Lady in front of him: "Although she is very powerful, she is probably not in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Since we can't outrun her, instead of being defeated one by one, why not join forces and fight!"
Poison Lady paused, then agreed to the suggestion. She also said that the white-robed female cultivator must possess dual spiritual roots of water and fire, and that fighting underwater would be disadvantageous to them, so it would be better for them to go ashore.
The two of them hit it off immediately and jumped out of the water together, followed closely by the female cultivator in white. The moment she emerged from the water, Poison Lady and Flower Embroidered Ghost attacked her from both sides.
The female cultivator in white dodged their attack, but unexpectedly, the Poison Lady was just feinting. She quickly changed her tactics, and her dark purple sharp nails scratched across the back of the female cultivator's hand like lightning, leaving a drop of blood.
The injury looked minor, but a horrible purple bruise appeared at the wound site. Then the purple bruise spread along the blood vessels on the white-clothed female cultivator's arm all the way up. Once it reached the heart, the poison would attack the heart and even a god could not save her.
The Poison Lady thought she had it safe, so she dodged and stepped aside, waiting for the white-clothed female cultivator to die from the poison. Even if the white-clothed female cultivator swung her sword at her with an unhappy look on her face, she would only defend and not attack.
Hua Xiugui also felt that the female cultivator in white was doomed, and immediately attacked like a hyena, trying to make the female cultivator in white unable to take care of herself, and continuously circulated her spiritual power to speed up the spread of the poison.
The three of them exchanged hundreds of moves in just a few breaths. However, the female cultivator in white, who was poisoned, turned pale, but her moves were still fierce and there was no sign of slowness or weakness in her movements.
On the contrary, Hua Xiugui and Du Niangzi had several new wounds on their bodies and were gradually becoming exhausted.
Poison Lady's expression turned serious: "Why haven't you taken effect of the poison yet?"
The female cultivator in white sneered: "Guess."
Before she finished speaking, she swung out two flaming sword energies towards Poison Lady and Hua Xiugui respectively.
The Flower Embroidered Ghost grew increasingly frightened as the fight continued, and immediately shouted, "If you spare my life, I'll give you the Immortal Transmutation!"
Poison Lady scolded coldly, "Hua Xiugui, are you planning to betray the Demon Cult?"
Hua Xiu ghost roared back, "I'm already a demon cultivator, how can you expect me to be loyal? Besides, even if we hold on to her, she can still take the immortal slough by killing us!"
Poison Lady fell silent upon hearing this. However, the white-robed female cultivator's attacks did not slow at all, her eyes gleaming a dark purple in the sunlight. "I want your immortal molt, and I want your lives too."
Hua Xiugui was shocked. He didn't expect that the female cultivator in white was so cold-blooded and bloodthirsty. He once again said loudly that as long as she was willing to spare his life, he would voluntarily go back to Xuantian Sect with her. He knew a lot of secrets about the Demon Sect and could report them to Xuantian Sect!
"Why should I take you back to Xuantian Sect?"
The white-robed female cultivator was stunned for a moment, then, as if she had discovered something amusing, she attacked while mocking, "You don't think I'm from the Xuantian Sect, do you? No way. No way, do I look that righteous?"
"Aren't you the one sent by Xuantian Sect to hunt us down?!"
Hua Xiugui was so shocked that he was a little slow to dodge, and was directly cut in the waist and abdomen by the hot sword energy. Before the blood flowed out, the smell of burnt barbecue wafted out.
The white-robed female cultivator's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her lips curled slightly. "Of course not. When did I ever say I was from the Xuantian Sect? I'm at most a small oriole, the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole waits behind."
"By the way, I have to thank you rats for digging so hard under the noses of Xuantian Sect, and your young master for risking his life to block the pursuit of the Xuantian Sect leader. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to obtain the Immortal Transfiguration so smoothly."
The wind blew through her white hair and the white hem of her skirt. She looked like the immortal with no desires in the legend. Only her dark purple eyes were filled with strong malice and the arrogance of being in control of the overall situation.
Hua Xiugui and Du Niangzi looked as if they were bitten by a poisonous snake in the dark, and their faces instantly turned ugly.
Hua Xiugui: "Could it be that you were also in that secret place at that time, and have been watching us from the dark?"
Poison Lady thought of a worse possibility: "Or... you deliberately leaked the information to our sect to lead us here to find the Immortal Transfiguration and help you get it out of Luohua Town!"
The two of them couldn't help but feel a chill whenever they thought that this action was the result of someone's secret plan, and that this person had been following them all the way.
Who the hell is this person? How dare he plot against the Demonic Cult?!
"So what if it is? That secret realm has been hidden underground in Luohua Town for so many years. Even third-rate people like the Yun family can discover its existence. Ha, you are not really naive enough to think that you are the first to discover the immortal slough hidden there, right?"
The white-robed female cultivator pierced Hua Xiugui's heart with her longsword. Her voice was soft and triumphant. "Now, if you all die here, the Xuantian Sect will simply believe that everything was done by the Demon Cult, and that the Immortal Transformation also fell into the hands of your demonic sect."
"Oops, I almost forgot just piercing your heart won't kill you."
The female cultivator in white drew out her bloody sword and was about to finish off the opponent, but her movements suddenly stopped as she raised her hand. Her external spiritual sense told her that as she spoke, the Poison Lady who was originally seriously injured and standing not far away suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Hua Xiugui spit out blood and collapsed to the ground. "Intermediate-level teleportation talisman, so... Poison Lady has such a life-saving trump card. Haha, it seems you can't kill her."
The white-clothed female cultivator's expression turned cold. She raised her hand and took the storage bag from Hua Xiugui's waist through the air. She casually wiped off the mark of Hua Xiugui's spiritual consciousness on the storage bag, and probed her spiritual consciousness into it to start searching.
Only after she was sure that the Immortal Transmutation was in this storage bag did her expression ease a little: "You bunch of demon cultivators are really good at running. Fortunately, this is still there, otherwise all our efforts would have been in vain."
Hua Xiugui lay on the ground waiting to die. He looked up at the pair of dark purple eyes and suddenly realized that although the female cultivator in white used ruthless moves, her eyes never revealed any cold murderous intent from beginning to end.
Even when she found out that Poison Lady had escaped, she only showed anger and displeasure, just like a child who couldn't get any candy.
Hua Xiugui was disgusted by this fleeting thought and asked with a lingering breath, "Who are you from...Zhaocaijinbaolou, Qinghuan Sect...Jiuyoumen...Changsheng Sect...or Yu..."
As he spoke, he stared at the expression of the female cultivator in white, trying to find some clues from it, but he only saw her swinging her sword indifferently. His perspective shifted, and then the world returned to silence.
"You talk a lot."
After completely emptying Hua Xiu Gui's health bar, Yun Miao casually swept her eyes over his body. Unlike the rich young master Yun Lujia, Hua Xiu Gui did not have so many flashy decorations on his body, so she only saw a collectible shining spot on his body.
She squatted down and picked up her trophy from the mosaic-covered head, a wooden hairpin with a hint of spiritual energy.
Then she hung the storage bag that originally belonged to Hua Xiugui around her waist, stuffed the breath-suppressing talisman and hairpin into the storage bag, burned Hua Xiugui's body, and walked back to the river without looking back.
She wanted to find the corpses of the red-named monsters she had killed before and take her spoils.
At the same time, Yun Miao was still thinking in her mind that she couldn't defeat the Demon Cult for the time being, so she decided to first inquire about the strength of the Yun family. If she could defeat them, she would kill them directly. If she couldn't, she would take it step by step.
In short, the Demon Cult, the Yun Family... she will not let any of them go!
*
The outskirts of Luohua Town.
Yun Miao and the other two felt a surge of security due to the appearance of Sect Master Chang, so they were not in a hurry to return to the sect. The three ragged teenagers sat in a row on the edge of the field to rest.
Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai gazed into the distance. Although they could not see the figures of Master Chang and Yan Wuguang clearly due to the distance, they still watched with great interest.
Yun Miao sat there, concentrating on remotely controlling her vest to hunt down the demonic cultivators. She had initially thought she wouldn't be used to controlling two bodies simultaneously, but she adapted incredibly quickly, operating with remarkable ease. For a moment, she even felt like she was truly cultivating immortality.
But of course this is impossible, it's just a game.
Yun Miao was sighing that the game "Asking the Three Thousand Questions" was really great, while controlling the vest to kill people.
As a result, he became too proud of himself and accidentally fell into the trap of the Poison Lady. Because the health bars of the main body and the vest were connected, after Yun Miao's vest was poisoned by the Poison Lady, although there was nothing unusual on the surface on the main body's side, in fact, the health volume began to drop rapidly.
Her body tilted and she fell headfirst down the ridge of the field.
Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai were startled and subconsciously reached out to pull her, but a pair of big hands caught Yun Miao faster than they did.
The two looked up warily and saw that the person coming was a strange man. He was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe and the familiar Xuantian Sect token was hanging on his waist. His black hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin. He stood tall and straight, with a face as handsome as a jade. His eyes were like an eternal cold pool, deep and without ripples.
He stood behind Yun Miao, holding her shoulders with both hands, and Yun Miao's upper body leaned against his waist and abdomen as she fell back.
Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai saw green wood spiritual power surging in his palm, as if he was continuously injecting his spiritual power into Yun Miao's body, and immediately asked him suspiciously what he was doing.
The man lowered his eyes to look at Yun Miao's pale face: "Her body is rapidly deteriorating for some reason. My wood spirit power can temporarily keep her alive."
"Rapid decline?"
"Hasn't the boss's injury healed? Why is he declining?"
Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. They had no idea what had happened. Yun Miao was clearly fine just now, so how could he suddenly become like this?
They didn't know what to do in this situation. They could only look at the weak Yun Miao with concern, asking her where she felt unwell and urging her to quickly take the remaining sixth-grade Dead Tree Spring Pill.
Yun Miao knew what had happened, but she couldn't say it. She could only lean weakly on the waist and abdomen of the person behind her, thinking quickly about what to do now.
Although she didn't know who this person was, thanks to his wood spirit power, her main health bar began to decrease at a slower rate, so she didn't die immediately. However, in just a few moments, her vest's health bar, which was as long as 9 million HP, dropped rapidly!
A series of prompt boxes flashed rapidly in front of the main body and the vest's eyes. However, among these dense blood loss prompts, there were also prompts about improving poison resistance attributes.
[Poison Resistance +5]
[Poison Resistance +5]
[Poison Resistance +5]
…
If there was only a health loss notification, Yun Miao would have immediately slit her throat, using the death rollback to go back a minute and gracefully avoid the Poison Lady's attack. But after seeing her ever-increasing poison resistance, she couldn't make up her mind.
This is a rare opportunity to add attributes, and not only does it add the precious poison resistance attribute, but it also adds 5 points at a time!
In just this short minute, she gained dozens of points. You have to know that she only gained 1 point when she was bitten by the ghost spider, and the poison resistance added by the ghost spider will gradually decrease. Even if she was bitten into a sieve by the ghost spider, she would not be able to gain so much!
She gritted her teeth, reached out with trembling hands, took out the last Dead Tree Rejuvenation Pill and stuffed it into her mouth. The short health bar of her main body was instantly replenished, and the overflowing energy even replenished the health bar of her vest through the air.
It was only at this time that Yun Miao finally realized how powerful the sixth-grade elixir was. She had really been like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit, which was such a waste.
But now is not the time to regret, because the Dead Tree Spring Pill failed to detoxify, and Yun Miao's body and vest began to lose blood again. She looked up at the handsome face above her, raised her hand and pressed it on the man's hand that was holding her shoulder, pitifully asking for help.
"Doctor, save me, I'm still young, I haven't become the leader of Xuantian Sect yet, I don't want to die."
The man looked thoughtful, then said calmly, "You've asked the wrong person. I'm not a doctor."
Yun Miao: ???
"Junior Brother Chu, how are the children?"
"Junior Sister!"
Ge Yan and Qi Shubai hurried over with a group of people, and as soon as they arrived they saw three ragged and dusty children.
The man explained calmly, "She's dying, but she said she's still young and doesn't want to die before she becomes the head of Xuantian Sect, so I plan to take her back to Danfeng first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up Yun Miao and flew towards Xuantian Sect.
Qi Shubai: "I'm going too!"
Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai immediately begged the senior brother to take them with him. So Qi Shubai swung his sleeves, rolled up the two of them, and began to fly back.
Although Ge Yan was a little worried, business was more important, so he could only take his men to stay in Luohua Town to deal with the mess.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: On the surface, the female cultivator in white smiled indifferently: Haha, it’s just a deadly poison, nothing to be afraid of!
Behind the scenes, Yun Miao said: Doctor, help me! QAQ
