Chapter 72 Han Wei, the Injured
In the dense forest, Han Wei wielded Princess Pianran's Blazing Gold Sword several times, leaving deep marks on the ground with streaks of sword energy.
Han Wei recalled the sword strike that killed Mo Yang. As she swung her long sword, the surrounding space seemed to slow down, and the world seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, a flash of sword light tore open a narrow spatial rift, severing dozens of trees that fell to the ground.
Han Wei looked at the sword in her hand; it wasn't fast enough, and the sword energy wasn't concentrated enough.
She glanced at Gu Qi beside her.
The man in white sat on the rock, his empty golden eyes staring at her. Han Wei was about to ask him to get up so she could use "Severing Void" on him again, but at that moment, a chill ran down her spine. She saw a red light rushing towards her from afar. Her eyes widened, but she couldn't react to dodge it.
The red light was actually a nail about the length of a finger; it struck Han Wei and pierced her body.
Han Wei screamed and fell backward, only to be caught by Gu Qi. Leaning against Gu Qi, she gasped for breath. The nail exuded an eerie aura, and the moment it pierced her body, the pain was excruciating.
Is this... a magical artifact?
A chilling aura enveloped the entire mountain forest. The pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator was like a collapsing ancient mountain, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently. Han Wei looked up at the sky, where two figures had appeared.
The two figures were, one was her mortal enemy, the Heavenly Enchantress Saintess who was using Su Rumei's body; the other was a strange man she had never seen before, a late-stage Integration Realm cultivator.
Blood gushed from Han Wei's chest, blood distinctly different from ordinary blood, radiating pure wood-attribute spiritual energy. Chen Luoyan inhaled deeply, sensing the aura of Han Wei's blood, his eyes gleaming with intense excitement:
"A Wood Spirit Body, it truly is a Wood Spirit Body, hahahahahahaha..."
Chen Luoyan looked at Han Wei's pale face from the pain. Such stunning beauty, a Wood Spirit body, and still a virgin—his luck was truly incredible.
"Senior brother, I told you, I wasn't lying to you. This little girl is quite formidable; she caused me a lot of trouble before. But now that she's been hit by your Blood Nail, no matter how capable she is, she can't escape your grasp." The Heavenly Enchantress said sweetly, her words carrying a hint of flattery. She then looked at Han Wei with a touch of schadenfreude.
"Han Wei, let me introduce you. This is my senior brother, Chen Luoyan."
"Don't be afraid, my beauty. I just wanted to smell your blood." Chen Luoyan walked down from the sky step by step. He scanned Han Wei and Gu Qi with his divine sense and found that Gu Qi was actually a corpse puppet. He was shocked. There was actually such a corpse puppet. He almost thought it was a living person.
"Master—"
Han Wei called out, and Gu Qi picked her up, his whole body crackling with purple lightning. The two of them transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished into the void.
"Trying to escape? Do you think you can get away?"
Chen Luoyan's eyes turned cold, and he instantly disappeared from where he stood, chasing after Gu Qi and Han Wei.
Gu Qi, carrying Han Wei, transformed into lightning, his speed increasing rapidly. At first, Chen Luoyan could keep up with him, but later he managed to leave her behind. How could a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator be faster than a late-stage Integration cultivator?
Even so, as they chased each other for millions of miles, Gu Qi and Han Wei disappeared not only from Chen Luoyan's sight but also from his spiritual sense.
Rumble—
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky; it was about to rain.
Chen Luoyan stood in the sky, his face extremely gloomy. He didn't believe that someone in the late stage of the Void Refinement realm could surpass his speed. It seemed that his opponent had some very powerful spiritual treasure that could increase his speed.
But even if he managed to escape for a while, could he really escape for that long? Those Blood Luo Nails weren't so easy to pull out; in the entire Star Luo Realm, no one but himself could remove those nails.
The little girl will come out on her own when she can't bear the pain anymore.
He just waited.
————
Deep in the misty mountains, there is a huge lake.
A magnificent flying boat hovered on the lake. It didn't look very large, but its interior was surprisingly spacious and hidden.
The man in white carried the girl in purple towards the bed.
After the girl asked the man to put her down, she endured the pain and walked over to the bed. She then tore open her clothes, revealing the wound on her chest, from which black smoke was emanating.
The blood-red nail that pierced her was no ordinary magical artifact; it was from the demon realm.
The magical artifacts of the demon realm are unpredictable, and their power cannot be judged by ordinary standards. The Blood Nail, embedded in his body, caused excruciating pain; he tried to force it out with his magic along the way, but failed.
She tried again, but failed. She tried to pull it out, but found that her hand couldn't touch the wound at all; the pain only intensified with contact.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
Han Wei was panting heavily; this was the first time she had been so badly injured since her rebirth.
The man in white with golden eyes stood beside her, looking at Han Wei's pale face. He felt a pang of regret for not having blocked the nail for her earlier. But she was too suspicious; he had killed that demon general a little too quickly, and she was already suspicious for a long time. He saw the large beads of cold sweat on her forehead and felt a pang of heartache.
But soon he asked himself?
Why should we feel sorry for her? Shouldn't she suffer a little? She killed him once, after all.
She killed him once and turned his body into a puppet.
She even frequently seduced him, finding pleasure in it. Even after someone's death, she still played with his corpse—why did he feel any pity for such a despicable woman?
"ah--"
Han Wei cried out as the Blood Nail trembled inside her body, sending excruciating pain through her entire being. It turned out that Chen Luoyan had deliberately cast a spell from afar, causing Han Wei pain to force her to appear.
This was incredibly painful. If Han Wei hadn't endured countless trials of pain in her past life, she would have fainted from the pain by now.
You bastard!
She was determined to make him utterly annihilated!
Han Wei endured the pain and pulled out the nail again.
But it didn't work; she couldn't pull the nail out with her magic power because her cultivation level was too low.
Han Wei tried to pull out the nail several times without success, then looked at Gu Qi:
"What are you standing there for? Come here and help me."
The man, who had been ordered to do so, walked toward the girl who was furious from the pain. He sat down beside her, supporting her bare shoulders, and looked at the blood-red nail embedded in her body. The extra wound on her fair and jade-like body was really an eyesore, with black lines extending outwards like a spider web from the wound.
The man didn't use his hands; instead, he lowered his head, bit the nail with his teeth, and pulled it out with force. The moment the nail was pulled out, Han Wei cried out in pain.
clang!
The man spat the nail onto the ground with a crisp sound.
He supported the girl, who was covered in sweat from the pain, and after he forced out the evil energy from the wound, the powerful healing ability of the Wood Spirit Body took effect, and the wound healed instantly.
