Chapter 9: Fatal move
Wu You sensed that the two were so close to him. He was still a bit puzzled.
It had been seven days since the two were poisoned with insects, and the hidden poison should gradually gnaw at their consciousness.
With the consciousness cultivated during the Qi refining period, being bitten by hidden insects for seven days was no different from being a madman, unable even to remember one’s name. But now, those two appeared in the forest where he was. It was indeed strange. However, he didn’t think too much about it. After all, they were just two Qi refining stage cultivators, and not like the person before with the bloodline of the Holy Emperor.
Even with his cultivation reduced by half, capturing those two for blood sacrifice to heal was not difficult.
“Heh.”
With a light laugh, Wu You stood up, summoned his flying sword, and flew towards the location he sensed. But when he arrived, he only saw the young man meditating in the woods. Clearly, he sensed both cultivators were there. Why was the young man the only one there? What about the other girl who had reached the perfect stage of Qi refining?
Ye Anping collected the scattered spiritual energy, then looked at Wu You flew down from the forest with a smile, “Huh? Isn’t this the senior from before? What a coincidence we meet again here.”
Wu You frowned slightly and immediately became alert. He felt a strange sense of disobedience from Ye Anping.
Why did this young man still act normal after being possessed by his hidden poison, with a rosy complexion without any trace of decadence?
Ye Anping smiled, took a cauldron from his storage bag, and threw it at Wu You.
“Senior Wu You, I’ll give you these two little bugs back,” Ye Anping said.
“What?”
Hearing him call out his name, Wu You’s pupils shrank, and he immediately noticed something was wrong, but he quickly calmed down. He waved his hand, took out the cauldron from his storage bag, and said,
“Little fellow Daoist, I don’t know what you are planning, but you think that you, a young cultivator at the third level of the Qi refining stage, can stand up to me…”
“Well, I probably can’t do it alone, but after all, I have been preparing for today for ten years,” Ye Anping said.
Ten years?
Wu You didn’t understand.
The next moment, he felt a cold, killing intent behind him and turned around to face Pei Lianxue, who had already arrived with a long blue sword.
Wu You quickly mobilized his true energy to repel Pei Lianxue. However, the speed of Pei Lianxue’s sword was beyond his expectations. It was not the speed a cultivator in the Qi refining stage should have.
An icy blue glow directly hit the cauldron in his left hand. Sparks flew. Pei Lianxue’s sword threw away the cauldron in his hand. A meat insect was thrown out of the cauldron and rolled into minced meat by the sword wind caused by Pei Lianxue’s swing.
This method of mobilizing true energy… Wu You thought and quickly backed away, “You girl, are you a cultivator from the Hantian Kingdom?” Wu You asked.
“…”
Pei Lianxue didn’t mean to answer him at all. She again swung the long sword in her right hand, removing all the fallen leaves on the ground. However, the seemingly ordinary leaves floated around her in an instant.
Just when Wu You was wondering what Pei Lianxue wanted to do, the leaves she had swept up suddenly flew towards Wu You instantly.
Swish——
Wu You reacted very quickly and jumped away to hide but was still wiped by a leaf on his cheek. And just one leaf left a long groove on his smooth face. He touched his cheek, then looked back at the leaves mobilized by Pei Lianxue’s spiritual power with disbelief. If he read correctly, this little girl used the Shadow Moon Sword Sect’s Ye Ying Sword Technique. That was the secret technique of the Shadow Moon Sword Sect.
The demonic cultivators had searched for it for hundreds of years but could not get it. How could this little girl in front of her do it? Han Tianguo’s luck technique was also used.
Who the hell taught it?
Wu You continuously dodged the blades coming towards him. He wanted to mobilize the spiritual energy to control the body, but Pei Lianxue did not give him a chance.
In addition, he was injured by the golden dragon before. In just ten breaths, the robe on his body had been cut by the leaves and had holes everywhere.
“Tsk… A girl in the Qi refining stage forced me to do this!”
Wu You smacked his tongue slightly and no longer dared to hold anything back. He had no choice but to use his essence and blood.
Seeing that he was about to use essence and blood, Pei Lianxue quickly sheathed her sword and jumped back as if preparing to escape.
“Want to leave? If you force me to use my essence and blood, will I let you go?”
Wu You shouted, and instantly a wave of evil spirits gathered into a giant hand, chasing after Pei Lianxue.
However, at this moment, a ray of ice-blue light suddenly shot out from the ground, forming a curtain of light within a hundred feet around him.
Formation!
Wu You glanced at it, his eyes even more frightened, “Oh, what about the formation of a mere cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage?”
He quickly changed the direction of the giant hand’s pursuit and hit the center of the top of the light screen, preparing to break the formation first and then pursue the girl just now.
But when the giant evil hand was about to hit the light screen, a ray of blue light penetrated the giant hand, instantly turning the evil spirit inside into an ice sculpture.
At this moment, he seemed to understand what the boy’s “ten years” meant. That boy had been preparing for ten years to kill him? But how was this possible? He had never seen that young man before.
Wu You gritted his teeth and took a deep breath but soon calmed down. Although this formation did accurately target his weak points, at most, it would trap him here for a while. The formation should have been executed by the young man just now. With his level of cultivation in the Qi refining period, he would definitely run out of vital energy in less than a quarter of an hour.
“I would like to see what other tricks you two youngsters in the Qi refining stage have up your sleeves?”
However, as soon as these words were spoken, there was another flash of cold light. A three-foot green peak of unknown origin appeared, and when it materialized, it was already at his throat.
Wu You frowned and immediately grasped the sword’s edge with his hand. The blade directly cut through his wrist, and blood dripped onto the ground, which had already turned into frost. He looked at the girl wielding the sword towards him and said with a smile, “That young man is quite ruthless, locking you, his junior sister, in this formation. Isn’t he afraid that the cold air will freeze you to death first?”
Pei Lianxue tried to retrieve her sword, but Wu You’s strength was immense. She released the sword and instead used punches and kicks against Wu You. However, with only Qi refining cultivation, although the first two punches made Wu You dodge twice when she threw the third punch, Wu You grabbed her wrist.
“Heh… I must commend you. To suffer such a setback from Qi refining cultivators like you, but…”
Wu You grabbed Pei Lianxue’s wrist and pulled her in front of him. Then he slightly opened his mouth and exhaled a purple mist onto Pei Lianxue.
After inhaling the mist, Pei Lianxue struggled for a moment and then completely relaxed. Seeing this, Wu You released her hands and shouted outside the formation, “Young friend, your junior sister has fallen under my enchantment. If you still care for her, remove this formation.”
“… …”
“I’ll count to three. If you don’t lift this broken formation, when your true energy is depleted, I’ll let you taste the agony of the venomous…”
Swish——
While Wu You confidently spoke to Ye Anping outside the formation, a spiritual sword pierced his chest.
“Cough–“
He paused, looked down at his chest, and then turned to Pei Lianxue behind him in disbelief.
“How did you…”
“My senior brother taught me.” Pei Lianxue pulled out her spiritual sword with an indifferent expression and stabbed Wu You once again.
Swish——
One sword, two swords, three swords…
She didn’t stop, and Wu You still couldn’t stand steadily by the fourth stab. He fell to the ground with a thud, but his eyes were still fixed on Pei Lianxue.
At this moment, Pei Lianxue put away her sword, exhaled gently, and then shouted happily to her senior brother outside the formation, “Senior brother! It’s done!!!”
However, the formation was still in place. Ye Anping, who was maintaining it outside, hesitated for a moment upon hearing Pei Lianxue’s voice, then quickly shouted, “Finish him!!!”
Pei Lianxue remembered the last blow and quickly took out the fifty fire talismans Ye Anping had given her in the morning.
Wu You, lying on the ground, had initially pretended to be dead, waiting for the girl to relax her guard so that his spirit could leave and seize her body. But his eyes widened in fear when he saw her take out a bunch of fire talismans.
He quickly raised his hand, attempting to stop her.
“Wait!!”
Unfortunately, Pei Lianxue showed no mercy and threw the stack of fire talismans onto him without hesitation.
“Ahhhhhh!!——”
The screams and the smell of roasting meat wafted through the forest.
…
Yoooo, it’s so brutal. Like, imagine this shi… You reincarnate, torture yourself and a little girl for 10 years, and then make her cut and burn a person alive. Yeah, it’s a bad person who tried to harm them, but it is still brutal nonetheless
