Searching for plum blossoms in the snow
Is this difficult?
It's difficult, very difficult.
Even if Qin Jiuyan attacked casually as if playing, it was not something that someone like Jiang Jingyuan, who had never practiced, could resist.
But Jiang Jingyuan didn't dare to use the "Teng Snake" mark.
After the chase from Ling County to Baizhou Mountain, she understood.
The more she faced a master with a high level of cultivation, the more she could not reveal the existence of the "Soaring Snake" mark and other high-level magic tools.
Otherwise, those masters would definitely hold on to her tightly!
Facing cultivators of average strength, even if she directly used the power of the "Soaring Snake" mark, they would not be able to understand the effect. But those with advanced cultivation were different. Just a trace of her aura was as conspicuous as a single bright light in the dark night in their eyes.
This is a very embarrassing situation.
When facing cultivators with mediocre cultivation, she would mobilize the energy of the jade bracelet... no, she could even solve the problem by just throwing a few talismans, and usually she wouldn't need to use the "Teng Snake" mark.
And in a situation where powerful strength is most needed, the existence of the "Teng Snake" mark cannot be exposed...
While his thoughts were turning over and over, the two men in the cave, one red and one white, had already fought, pulled away, and fought again for dozens of times.
Jiang Jingyuan had never felt Qin Jiuyan's attack directly. She used her spiritual power to delay the opponent's actions from the side. Every time the opponent was about to attack, she would avoid it in time and decisively.
The gray-white smoke dispersed and gathered, gathered and dispersed.
The two of them seemed to be running around the cave, while Qin Jiuyan was always chatting and laughing.
For Qin Jiuyan, this battle was not at all tiring. Besides, she thought it would be boring to wait for someone alone in the cave, and it would be nice to have someone to accompany her.
For Jiang Jingyuan, it just happened to confirm her guess.
The two of them seemed to be going in circles, but in reality Jiang Jingyuan was getting closer and closer to the pillar platform...
A little closer, a little closer...
Suddenly, Jiang Jingyuan asked, "Did you design and build this underground maze?"
The red-dressed woman in front of him grabbed Jiang Jingyuan's wrist. She was slightly stunned when she heard the words, then burst out laughing, and said with a smile on her face: "Of course not...
"you?!!"
Jiang Jingyuan grabbed her arm with his backhand, staring at her with eyes as dark as the abyss, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly -
"boom!"
Countless red and black talismans and gray and black pills instantly appeared around the two of them and exploded—
Jiang Jingyuan, who was at the center of the explosion, was surrounded by a huge white light. He shook off Qin Jiuyan's hand and rushed forward to the gray-white column platform in three or two steps, braving the explosion and heat wave.
The figure in red who was still standing there paused for a moment - Qin Jiuyan was covered with more than a dozen immobilization talismans at the same time Jiang Jingyuan grabbed her arm with his backhand!
A dozen or so immobilization talismans could only trap her for a moment, but this moment was enough and crucial for Jiang Jingyuan.
Jiang Jingyuan's hand had already touched the ice-like aqua-blue sleeve arrow—
"brush--"
Her black hair fluttered, and the sound of breaking air came from behind her. Dozens or even hundreds of thin golden threads came from behind and intertwined into a net on both sides of her!
“?!!”
How did this person feel like he knew her so well?!
If it were someone else, wouldn't their first reaction in this situation be to attack? Why did Qin Jiuyan react so quickly and trap her instead of attacking?!
Also, when she pretended to give up and leave the cave, others would usually focus on her first attack after turning around, and after she didn't resist the first time, they would relax their vigilance a little. But Qin Jiuyan was not like that. Qin Jiuyan didn't show any intention of attacking her the first time she turned around. Instead, she seemed to have anticipated something the moment she saw her turn around, waiting for her to turn around and attack the second time.
Although Qin Jiuyan's strength meant she didn't need to be overly wary of her, she felt as if Qin Jiuyan could quickly and accurately judge her next move based on her previous one.
No, it’s not quite accurate to say “judgment of the situation”. It should be said that Qin Jiuyan seemed to be continuing to think along her lines and then responding.
Jiang Jingyuan did not look back, but took a step further and firmly grasped the plum blossom sleeve arrow and put it into his storage silver ring.
Behind her, more than a dozen yellow and black talismans appeared out of thin air, and the direction of attack was not Jin Xian and Qin Jiuyan, but -
"boom!!!"
"Crack..."
Amidst the huge explosion, Jiang Jingyuan was blown away, and at the same time, he could hear the crisp sound of the jade bracelet on his wrist breaking.
“Puff—”
Before she could react, countless thin golden threads emerged from the gray fog in front of her, piercing her flesh and blood densely.
As the golden thread passed through, Jiang Jingyuan paused in mid-air for a moment, like a human-shaped doll manipulated by countless silk threads, being pulled into a twisted posture.
Jiang Jingyuan gritted his teeth and immediately activated the double "Happiness" mark on the inside of his right wrist.
Teleport!
She knew what Qin Jiuyan was going to do, and because of that, she had to teleport away before the golden thread pierced the ground behind her! She didn't dare underestimate the golden thread in Qin Jiuyan's hand. If it was the kind that couldn't be burned or cut, then once the golden thread pierced the stone ground, she really couldn't leave!
In an instant, a light mist appeared around her out of thin air, grayish white, almost merging with the thick fog of the explosion.
Countless golden threads were pulled by the mist, drawing out flesh and blood. Jiang Jingyuan took a deep breath in his heart.
I...go...it hurts...
She said that Qin Jiuyan was a weird person, as if he could know what she was thinking, and every step he took was just to defeat her.
I don’t know how strong her obsession was, but even at this moment, she still did not forget to open her eyes to look at the expression on Qin Jiuyan’s face not far away.
The gray fog dissipated.
Surprisingly, Qin Jiuyan, who was not far away, did not stop her from teleporting away, nor did she attack her to cause her any further harm... The tassels covering her face swayed in the wind, and Qin Jiuyan frowned. There was no displeasure or anger in her gilded eyes, but instead a deep sense of--
Confused and puzzled?
In the last glance before Jiang Jingyuan left, she saw Qin Jiuyan looked up and looked back at her as if he had just sensed her gaze.
With just one glance, Jiang Jingyuan almost couldn't hold back the cold expression on his face.
She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the world spun around her, and her vision was obscured by an endless fog.
In the boundless space, there was no sky and no earth, and gray-white clouds were lingering in it. A vermilion gate was vaguely revealed behind the thin clouds, and two flaming red lanterns with double "Xi" characters on the eaves of the door were swaying slowly.
Qin Jiuyan, still in the gray-white cave, raised her wrist and twisted it. Countless golden threads interwoven like spider webs instantly retracted into her hand. The smile that always wore on her face disappeared, and she subconsciously turned her eyes to look towards the cave exit.
At the entrance of the gray-white grotto, clothes and black hair danced wildly, and a pretty aqua-blue figure appeared out of thin air.
The two sides' eyes met——
"boom!!!"
…………
In the gray haze, Jiang Jingyuan fell into the clouds, coughed twice, and took a while to sit up. He was not in a hurry to enter the vermilion gate.
The clouds and mist had no sense of reality. She felt like she was floating in the air, and she wouldn't feel any pain even if she fell from a height.
What the hell!
Her entire body was covered with densely packed needle-like holes. When she was teleported, she shook, and the blood beads gathered into a pool of blood, staining her ink-white clothes red.
The golden thread had pierced her flesh before, and she had no other choice but to secretly use the power of the "Teng Snake" mark, otherwise she would have died on the spot... She had both internal and external injuries, and it would hurt even if she was lying still.
After silently swallowing a bottle of dark green pills, Jiang Jingyuan was surprised to find that the wounds on his body healed in an instant and then burst open again, and the blood gushed out even more violently.
Those golden threads are indeed not ordinary...
Fortunately, she teleported away in time... Jiang Jingyuan felt a little scared and distressed.
It seems that her pills alone cannot cure these injuries.
But, not to mention the internal injuries, just the bleeding alone would cause her to bleed to death very soon...
Jiang Jingyuan thought about it as she took out the plum blossom sleeve arrow that was as blue as ice. Only then did she have time to appreciate the intricate and gorgeous patterns carved on the surface of the sleeve arrow.
The blood flowed down the fingers into the concave lines of the sleeve arrow pattern and was absorbed in an instant.
She raised her hand, holding the hidden arrow, and shot an arrow into the depths of the clouds.
There was no arrow in the sleeve quiver, but she could shoot out water-blue arrows made of ice out of thin air with just a thought.
Jiang Jingyuan used his spiritual sense to pick up the arrow. The icy arrow quickly melted in his hand and turned into a pool of cold, colorless water.
"It's a bit gloomy..."
Jiang Jingyuan looked at all this and felt that it was not unexpected, and even more so, he felt relieved that all the detours he had taken were not in vain.
suitable.
It's perfect for her situation where she can't face the enemy head-on and can only pick up kills in the corner!
Satisfied with putting away his sleeve arrow, Jiang Jingyuan stood up and walked towards the mist-shrouded vermilion gate, raised his hand and gently pushed it open.
"Crack—"
Jiang Jingyuan only pushed the door open a crack and jumped in, carefully leaving the door open.
However, as she entered the house, the vermilion gate closed tightly by itself.
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
OK!
Inside the house was a dark night that formed a sharp contrast with the grayish-white fog outside the door. The bright red lanterns and candlelight were dimly lit, making the dark shadows of the objects in the house appear layered and stacked like countless ghosts and apparitions moving around.
The house has been restored to its original state, and is exactly the same as when I first saw it. There is no trace of it being reduced to ruins.
"That's right. After so many days, that person should have left long ago. He returned empty-handed..."
Jiang Jingyuan thought about it and decided to walk cautiously in the shadows, quietly approaching the back room - the most important thing for her now was to go back and heal her wounds as soon as possible. She didn't want to experience sitting at the same table with ghosts again, so she went straight to the back room and left quickly!
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed!
The blood in his body suddenly rushed to his head, his heart was beating rapidly and violently, Jiang Jingyuan turned around quickly and hid behind the wall of the house, holding his breath.
In the distance, a cold and impatient gaze passed through the house and went straight to this yard.
Didn't leave!
The person who reduced this place to ruins hasn't left!!!
Tension, shock, and anxiety instantly exploded. Jiang Jingyuan's vision went dark, his body unsteady, and the scarlet flowers on his white clothes spread and bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye...
“The smell of blood…”
"Even with the breath-suppressing talisman, the smell of blood can't be covered!!!"
Jiang Jingyuan's ears buzzed continuously, and his vision went dark and bright. He subconsciously reached out to hold onto the wall for support, but for a moment he was unable to observe the outside world.
The heavy, cold aura was like a pair of pale, stiff, and cold arms, which slowly climbed up her back and rested on her shoulders with some kind of evil and malicious interest.
Jiang Jingyuan gathered strength in his hand, and thick black and red ink lines appeared on his right arm, outlining a winding and circling Teng Snake.
Exposing one's weakness while possessing rare treasures will easily lead to constant hunting, which is troublesome, difficult and dangerous... But at this point where one's life is in danger, if one doesn't use it, one will die. At this point, there is still time to seek shelter and opportunities!
She closed her eyes, lowered her head, and did not move, like a human-shaped ice sculpture with even her blood frozen.
She mobilized the energy of the jade bracelet, so that as long as the opponent made a move, she could counterattack in time!
Her perception had not yet recovered, and she didn't know if that person had found her—
perhaps--
That person is now standing quietly in front of him.
