This saved her the trouble of setting up an array. Li Yiru raised her sword to block the attack, while observing how much spiritual power a sword cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining could exert.
The two men saw her dodging with difficulty. The round-faced monk cleverly started to disrupt her with words, "Boy, hand over the things obediently, and I'll ask Brother Zheng to spare your life. With your two tricks, you're not even worth our while!"
As he became more provocative, the long-faced monk's sword energy became stronger, and the sound of weapons clashing continued to echo within the formation, but the people passing by outside didn't notice it at all.
"You see, no one can notice anything is wrong, so don't expect anyone to come and save you!" The round-faced monk cast a spell, and the fireball brushed past Li Yiru's cheek. The first hit failed, and the Golden Sword Technique cut the corner of her clothes.
After a series of sword energies clashing, the long-faced Brother Zheng began to feel doubtful. This kid seemed passive, but the two of them cooperated with each other so well, and after such a long time, they had never really hurt this kid at all.
They had heard of cases where high-ranking cultivators pretended to be of average cultivation, luring others to rob them, only to then kill and rob them. But these were only rumors, and they had never actually encountered such a situation. Could it be that they had encountered such a situation this time?
Seeing the puzzled expression on the long face, Li Yirou thought to herself, these cultivators outside seem to be more perceptive than those within the sect. They react quickly to the slightest sign of a mishap. Furthermore, even with the same moves, they are more ruthless than those within the sect. They're deadly from the start, each one aiming for death.
As expected, the environment was dangerous, and people's doubts were even greater. Since she had been discovered, she stopped pretending. Li Yirou quickly commanded the strange fire, charging!
"Brother Zheng, kill him quickly, quickly!" The round-faced man suddenly fell into an inexplicable madness. Then, a layer of frost climbed up his face and body, but he was completely unaware until his body became stiff and unable to move.
A thorn suddenly emerged from the ground and tightly bound the round-faced man's body. His blood was absorbed by the thorns, and he came to his senses and wanted to move, but the more he struggled, the more seriously he was injured.
"Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist! We are blind and do not recognize a great man. Please be magnanimous and spare us..." The round-faced man came to his senses and begged continuously. Tears suddenly came to his eyes. He looked so pitiful. The arrogant look he had just had was gone.
Brother Zheng held a sword in one hand, but his spiritual sense was searching the storage bag for anything that could save his life. He was about to run out of the formation, ready to give up his round-faced accomplice.
They have always been very cautious and have never made a mistake. They never take risks on things that they are not sure of. How come they made a mistake this time?
Everyone knows that the earth-escaping talisman can save lives. It is two or three times more expensive than the talismans of the same grade. They have never been willing to buy it, and they think that they are not stupid enough to fight with monsters. They only pick lone monks, and even if they fight two against one, they can still escape. They never expected it!
Because the other party was so young, they thought he was a fool who didn't know the dangers of the world. They didn't expect that his cultivation level was not just the first level, but had probably reached the second level.
The moment Long-Faced Brother Zheng stepped out of the formation, he began to yell while running, "Murder! Help! This person stole 500 spirit stones from me. I'll give them to whoever saves my life!"
However, he clearly saw someone passing by, but the other person did not even raise his head, staring at the jade slip in his hand, studying it very seriously.
Immediately afterwards, his body hit an obstacle and almost bounced him down.
"You! You!" How could it be possible! Swordsmanship consumes a lot of spiritual awareness, yet this kid set up a formation without anyone noticing!
This time, it was Li Yirou's turn to attack! Her figure was like a swimming dragon, and she was right next to the long-faced Zheng Ge in two moves within the formation. Her sword moves were extremely fast, and sword shadows filled the sky.
Chang Lian tried his best to resist the first killing move, but her second sword was about to come in front of him. Chang Lian panicked and threw out a poison pill, which exploded in the formation with a "bang".
Li Yirou felt relieved when she saw that neither of them had used a talisman to escape underground. It seemed that not everyone would buy this thing. Her attacks on him continued, faster, more urgent, and more powerful!
This caused Chang Lian to forget in a hurry that this was not the formation he had set up, and he had nothing else in his hand to block it. After throwing out the poison pill, he even accidentally inhaled it and quickly held his breath, wanting to catch the boy off guard and make him fall first.
He found an antidote pill and was able to completely eliminate the poison by meditating for a while.
[Comparable to an explosive talisman.] Li Yirou attacked with all her might. This was the first time she had seen the power of a poison pill. Because she had absorbed the strange fire, the poison was automatically decomposed and absorbed as soon as it came into contact with her. However, the power of this explosion was not to be underestimated.
But he didn't take out the second pill. Instead, he stuffed a pill into his pocket and stared at her with his hands covering his nose. Li Yiru raised her eyebrows. He dared to throw it out to deal with others without the corresponding antidote?
She controlled the formation and pressed all the poisonous gas around the man. The color of the air around him was filled with a faint gray-yellow color.
The detoxification pill in his hand was not specifically designed for this poison pill, and its effect was average. Unexpectedly, the other party was not affected at all, his expression became more and more calm, and he watched him seek death quietly. Long-faced Brother Zheng's eyes were full of shock.
"You!" He seemed to have only known this word since the beginning. He held his sword in front of him, trying to stop Li Yiru from approaching, but his body had already begun to shake. "You!" He couldn't utter a complete sentence and fell at her feet.
Li Yirou pierced his heart with a sword, and on the other side, the round-faced assistant was strangled by soul-devouring thorns.
"Master, you are so strong!" The strange fire praised sincerely. The master was just like it. He was ruthless and didn't talk much when killing the enemy. Unlike those two people, who kept talking here and there, it really wanted to come out and argue with them.
Li Yirou responded calmly, "It's because their cultivation isn't as good as mine."
If she encountered someone with a higher level of cultivation than her, it would be difficult to succeed. Furthermore, the higher the level of cultivation, the richer the family background, and who knows what methods they would have to kill or save their lives. Because of the strange fire, ordinary poisons had no effect on her.
But like her, the strange fire also needs to be upgraded together in order to absorb stronger poisons, and they all need to practice hard.
What surprised Li Yirou even more was that the poison pill had such an effect. She thought the so-called explosive power would be very weak, but when she recalled that in the previous world, pills and explosives had many similarities, it seemed reasonable.
Thinking back to the time I went to Duobao Pavilion this morning, I also saw people selling various jade slips for practicing techniques, but each slip cost at least one top-grade spirit stone, which was the same price as a top-grade magic weapon.
There were stalls selling disassembled books, but they only contained parts of them, or just one elixir recipe or the instructions for drawing a talisman. The prices were much cheaper, but the cheapest one she saw today cost dozens of low-grade spirit stones.
She still bought it from the stall. Li Yiru planned while searching for things from the two of them.
