Daytime Mountain
brush--
On the bustling street, Jiang Jingyuan leaned sideways, and a flash of cold light passed in front of her. The next moment, countless cold lights poured out, leaving her no room to breathe!
Jiang Jingyuan dodged narrowly in the crowd, secretly surprised.
The street was packed with people. How could the hidden weapon fired by the person in the dark avoid the crowd? Judging from the reactions of the people around her, no one noticed the danger of passing by.
Jiang Jingyuan checked the items in the bracelet.
Talismans...dagger...pills...
She was thinking about what to do when she suddenly felt a chill on her ankle.
Her toes hit an unknown object, causing her to stumble and fall forward. As she fell, she glanced down and saw a bluish-blue human hand clinging to her left ankle!
Jiang Jingyuan's pupils shrank, and his body twisted in mid-air—
A yellow and black talisman appeared out of thin air in her hand, and she moved quickly and stuck the talisman on that hand!
Sizzle...
As soon as the yellow and black talisman paper touched the blue arm, it instantly made a sound like boiling hot oil, and a wisp of black smoke quickly rose from the skin of the hand.
The five fingers of that hand twisted and struggled, wanting to dodge but unwilling to let go. The bluish-green skin quickly melted into black smoke, revealing the white bones beneath the flesh and blood.
The arm trembled violently, and with a sudden flick of the hand, two phalanges fell to the ground. It didn't bother to pick them up, and the entire arm quickly retracted into the ground, revealing only a circle of blue-green on Jiang Jingyuan's ankle, like a brand.
This was a chilling aura. If not promptly dispelled, it would slowly erode into a person's flesh, blood, and bones. It wasn't difficult to dispel, and wasn't even considered an attack, but it would cause a bone-chilling chill, dulling their senses.
Jiang Jingyuan touched the ground with her toes and just as she was about to stand firm, she bent down and ran to the side. Two hidden weapons with silver light flew over her head and behind her.
She walked and stopped, turned sideways, bent over, and almost twisted her whole body to the extreme. Countless hidden weapons and blue arms that appeared from time to time always stuck to her like a thorn in her side.
The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Jiang Jingyuan knows that if she reveals her trump card now, it will only make the opponent more persistent. Even if she wants to use the "Teng Snake" mark, she has to make it fatal at close range.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan thought again, if that was the case, she might as well lure that person out and get rid of him.
The other party might be taking into account the magical weapons or trump cards she might have, so he wanted to fight a war of attrition. In that case, she must not follow the other party's rhythm.
Jiang Jingyuan already had some thoughts in his mind.
She stumbled, her face filled with anxiety as if she had been cornered. She pushed through the crowd and ran in one direction. The more she ran, the fewer people there were. She hesitated at the city gate, tears welling in her eyes. Finally, she gritted her teeth, ran out of the city gate, and plunged into the mountains and forests.
Most of the sunlight was blocked by the dense forest, with only scattered small beams of golden light falling in the woods.
A girl in a light white dress ran frantically through the woods, her pupils trembling constantly, and beads of water, whether sweat or fatigue, slid down her face...
"ah!"
A trembling cry of surprise suddenly rang out.
The girl twisted her body to avoid the hidden weapon coming from the side, twisted her ankle, and fell to the ground in a mess as if exhausted. Her black hair was scattered, and broken leaves and dirt covered half of her shoulder.
Arms that were blue to the point of turning blue rose from the mud in three directions, with their five fingers stretched into claws, and they grabbed the weak girl lying on the ground with a surrounding force.
The girl gritted her teeth, slapped the ground with her hands, and jumped out of their encirclement by somersaulting in the air. Half of her white clothes was stained with mud and weeds, and she looked in a disheveled state, like a shivering baby rabbit in a bamboo cage.
"Bang!" The girl who had barely avoided the encirclement fell heavily to the ground again. She raised her head with difficulty, but her dark pupils suddenly shrank when they opened -
In the sunlight, a piercing cold light quickly shuttled through the dense leaves, without disturbing a single fallen leaf, and in an instant it was right in front of the young lady.
The silver-white color of the arrow was reflected in his dark eyes, and Jiang Jingyuan's heart was gripped.
Restraining the subconscious urge to dodge, the girl arched her body and half-knelt on the ground, supporting herself with one hand and waving out three blood-red pills with the other hand. Instead of blocking the arrows, they flew past the arrows and shot towards a direction deep in the jungle!
Almost at the same time as she threw out the pill, a flying silver arrow pierced the invisible barrier covering the girl's body. "Dang!" With a crisp sound, the arrow fell weakly at her feet.
“Boom!!!”
In the forest in front of Jiang Jingyuan, tall trees fell one after another, raising a cloud of dust and lying in the soft grass.
A group of birds were startled in the sky not far away, and branches and green leaves were scattered all over the ground in front of her.
Amidst the rising choking white smoke, an exceptionally sudden and conspicuous black figure leaped out, darting past like a ghost as the trees fell, heading towards a patch of trees in the distance that were not affected by the explosion.
But why would Jiang Jingyuan wait for him?
He stood up and ran quickly in that direction. The snake that often circled on the back of Jiang Jingyuan's hand had a fierce look in its eyes.
It looked unhurried, but in reality it only took a blink of an eye for it to open its mouth. The fangs in its mouth were sharper and more terrifying than ever before, as if it wanted to bite everything in the world to pieces.
The majestic, bright red to black power solidified into substance and poured out from the fingertips of her right hand like a raging flood, roaring and rushing towards the trees where the black shadow was.
After scraping away a thin layer of soil and grass, along with the trees planted on it, the black and red power wrapped itself into a huge cocoon. Upon closer inspection, one could see a vortex spinning rapidly on the surface of the cocoon, as if it wanted to cut and crush everything contained within it!
Amidst the muffled rumbling sound, the figure of the young woman in white standing not far from the giant cocoon swayed. Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and she gasped slightly, her eyes fixed on the huge bloody cocoon.
With the power of this move, there shouldn't be any accidents.
But when Jiang Jingyuan thought that this person could see through her after she used the Breath-Concealing Pill, and most likely saw the true nature of this aura, she did not dare to relax easily.
The midday sun shone on the huge blood-red cocoon in the jungle. The cocoon began to fade, slowly becoming light and insubstantial, and with a "whoosh" sound, it spread among the lush green woods, as if a blood-colored mist had risen in the forest.
Without the airtight outer layer of cocoon, the crushed wood's subtle fragrance spread out, wave after wave, refreshing the heart.
Jiang Jingyuan looked carefully and did not see any human figure in the blood mist, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, fatigue washed over her limbs, and she finally remembered to reach out and hold onto the tree trunk beside her. She took out the pill and tossed it into her mouth. The gentle and refreshing pill slid down her throat, and she felt the fatigue and the coldness she had previously felt from the injury from the blue arm being gradually washed away.
"Neither the Breath-Suppressing Pill nor the Breath-Suppressing Talisman are very reliable. It seems that I have to find another way to conceal my breath." Jiang Jingyuan looked at the ruins around him, sensed his own situation, and sighed helplessly.
Everywhere she looked, she saw fallen tree branches piled up one after another, blocking the road ahead. Jiang Jingyuan was stunned as she watched all this.
She paused, then withdrew her hand from the tree trunk, steadied herself, and walked forward. She jumped onto the trees that were piled up like a hill and continued to walk forward, which was blocked by the trees.
She started out walking slowly, then gradually began to walk faster, and now she was running for her life.
Why?
Why can I smell the subtle fragrance of crushed wood, but not even a trace of blood? ! !
Jiang Jingyuan pursed her lips, her pupils trembling slightly, and a bad premonition filled her heart.
Why?
Of course, because the person is not dead!
and……
There is not even a trace of blood, this person is not injured at all!!!
Jiang Jingyuan couldn't believe it.
How is this possible! How is this possible! Just how terrifying has this person's cultivation reached?!
At the same time, a sudden realization struck her. No wonder he could find her so accurately in such a vast crowd. After all, although Yu Linhuan and Jing Youxi looked young, they were the young masters of two sects with a history spanning thousands of years. Their strength was unquestionable. And yet, they could only see vaguely, yet this man saw through them at a glance...
Jiang Jingyuan's heart was beating like a drum.
But she didn't want to go home!
This time she has two "happiness" character marks, but next time this magic weapon may not help her.
It has been less than a day since she left Tianshui Pond, and Jiang Jingjian will not return to the palace for another ten days. She needs to make a breakthrough in these ten days.
The bright sunshine was not blocked by the leaves, and the golden light sprinkled on the girl in the forest. She abruptly stopped running forward, turned back, and punched with her right hand.
The blood-red ribbon shot out straight like an arrow!
A person covered in a black cloak suddenly appeared behind the empty space, and appeared right in front of the blood-red ribbon!
Jiang Jingyuan's breathing stagnated, and his eyes were fixed on the black shadow in front of him.
But the imagined scene of the figure counterattacking or defending did not appear, and the blood-red ribbon pierced the person easily.
“???”
“!!!”
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes widened, and there was no trace of joy or luck in his heart, only full of fear.
How could she possibly believe that someone who emerged from the blood "cocoon" unscathed could be hurt by such a simple and unpretentious move?
The blood-red silk shadow pierced through the human figure, knocking down five or six tall trees behind it.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't dare to move his eyes.
The blood-red shadow dissipated, and the figure also dissipated with it, leaving nothing in front of her eyes.
Jiang Jingyuan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley——
She understood.
If that's the case, then she only has two options: escape or imprison the other party.
Without thinking, she turned around and ran!
joke!
How dare she think of trapping the other person?!
The purple-red gem on the witch's silver bracelet shone, and an invisible barrier appeared around her. Jiang Jingyuan thought, she must find a way to get rid of him quickly.
After all, he already knew her strength clearly, and that person would most likely end the battle quickly before she recovered, so as to avoid causing too much noise and attracting others to take a share!
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the dense forest ahead. Jiang Jingyuan's eyes lit up and he ran in that direction.
"Senior Sister, why don't we go directly to the teleportation array of Baiwen Tower? I worked hard to set it up for a long time but it's not as effective as others..." A sweet female voice sighed in the jungle.
"The teleportation array in Baiwen Tower needs to go through several times before reaching Baizhou Mountain. Directional teleportation is too conspicuous. It would be best if we set up the array ourselves." Another cold female voice said.
The others could only continue wailing.
"Hey, hurry up and get to work, little sister. We haven't had lunch yet..."
"Come on, give me a hand. If we get up the mountain earlier, we can have lunch earlier and then look for it."
"...Senior Sister, can't we eat first?"
The eldest sister said coldly: "No, we have to speed up and not let others get ahead."
The younger junior sister's sweet voice rang out again: "But, Senior Sister, has a magical weapon really appeared on Bai Zhou Mountain? They said there were some good things in Ling County before, but after traveling all this way, we didn't even see a trace of it."
She sighed repeatedly: "Master, will you make us go for nothing again this time?"
The eldest sister said calmly, "I'd rather make a wasted trip than miss it. Besides, this time it was the Divine Omen Sect that released the news, so other sects might have already arrived at Bai Zhou Mountain."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including the younger sister, stopped complaining. Ping-pong sounds rang out, and the fellow disciples excitedly said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up! Get up and get to work!"
"Hey, Senior Sister, why are you still standing there? Come quickly, we will be ready soon!" someone shouted.
Senior Sister: "..." So you all don't believe in Master, so you believe in the Divine Omen Sect, right?!
Jiang Jingyuan, who was not far away, heard it clearly.
Her eyes, as dark as the abyss, flickered.
turn out to be--
A magical instrument was born on Baizhu Mountain.
