Too strong!
Cultivators in the Fake Pill realm utterly overpower them in terms of cultivation!
"Be careful. This is a Fake Pill cultivator, you can’t fight him head-on."
Zhiwei slightly beckoned with her delicate hand, and three gourds hovered above her palm.
The young girl’s brow furrowed slightly.
If she had all seven Gourd Swords at hand, she might utilize the Great Evolution Wind and Thunder Sword Formation to break this person’s defenses.
But unfortunately, she only had three now...
"So what if it’s the Fake Pill realm? Master managed to withstand that vile creature alone back then... Can’t the three of us achieve the same?"
Qing Jun wiped away the blood from the corner of her lips, a touch of dimness appearing in her expression.
If she had been stronger back then, wouldn’t Master not have had to face that vile creature alone, wouldn’t she have vanished?
It’s all her fault for being too weak!
Qing Jun entered a state of blood rage!
Her qi and blood surged like a vast ocean, with hints of dragon scales faintly emerging under her skin. Her power skyrocketed again, directly stabilizing the formation under the overwhelming pressure!
"Boom boom boom!"
A large and a small figure clashed on various floating black stones.
Though Qing Jun had to retreat half a step with each blow, her face flushed red, she stubbornly relied on her formidable physique to forcibly block the elder’s attacks.
"Impossible... Flesh... shouldn’t be this hard..."
The crazy old man’s murky crimson eyes flashed with a hint of surprise; even in his clouded mind, he realized this seemingly soft little girl had incredibly tough flesh!
"Well done, junior sister!"
Zhiwei’s dark eyes brightened slightly.
She noticed that although this crazy old man had immense spiritual power, his mind was severely incomplete, his moves rigid and full of openings!
"Great Evolution Wind and Thunder!"
Zhiwei’s delicate hand flipped, and the three floating Gourd Swords transformed into sword lights thin as silk threads, targeting several key points of spiritual power circulation around him!
"Puchi!"
The elder’s figure stalled, his Protective Gang Qi experienced a momentary chaotic stagnation.
"Burn you, ugly monster! Purifying World Lotus, go!"
Jin’er sensed the opportunity, forming seals with both hands and pushing forward.
The golden fire lotus swirling in the sky gathered into a phantom of the Three-legged Golden Crow, taking advantage of the stagnation, fiercely striking!
"Ugh—"
This strike indeed shattered the crazy old man’s Gang Qi.
He screamed miserably, his chest scorched black, flesh and blood blurred.
"Amazing, junior sister!"
Qing Jun shouted excitedly, bringing her fingers together to gently stroke the Xiaohan Sword, nine True Seals imprinted upon it.
Then she seized the moment to approach, the Xiaohan Sword with the momentum of thunder and lightning, fiercely cleaving onto his body!
"Puchi!"
The frenzied elder retreated several steps, his shoulder’s flesh flew, the deep cut visible to the bone.
His eyes grew bloodier, now truly enraged:
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"
He slapped his shriveled chest, spitting out a mouthful of thick black blood, and formed a strange seal.
"Woo woo woo—"
Instantaneously, the entire area filled with fierce winds!
A tattered soul banner, emanating the aura of a sea of corpses and blood, surged out of him.
"Blood prison... become nourishment for my blood prison!!"
The crazy old man screamed shrilly.
The blood banner expanded with the wind, transforming into a vast blood-colored sky.
Countless twisted and wailing ghost faces struggled out from the blood curtain, creating a nearly solidified blood-colored swamp, blocking all the retreats around Zhiwei and the others!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
Jin’er’s golden fire lotus to burn the sky and boil the sea got extinguished instantly by the filthy waters in the blood sky, like a flickering candle snuffed out by a downpour.
"What’s happening..."
Previously, her Divine Fire suppressed such vile things, yet now it’s countered!
Qing Jun’s face was serious: "This guy’s soul banner is much stronger than any demon cultivator I’ve encountered before! Senior sister, junior sister, leave quickly! Qing Jun will hold him off!"
The little girl gritted her teeth, raising the Xiaohan Sword in both hands, ready to risk exhausting her qi and blood to carve out a bloody path for her sisters.
Just as the blood shadows were about to descend,
suddenly, a sword’s hum echoed.
A sharp white sword qi horizontally slashed out from the other side of the void!
"Screech—!"
A piercing sound like tearing cloth rang out.
The overwhelming blood-colored sky got split in two effortlessly!
Within moments, a white-haired old man appeared before the sisters, holding an ancient broken sword, his Taoist robe tattered and stained with blood:
"Don’t engage! This lunatic’s disturbance will attract more monsters, go!"
The white-haired old man didn’t give them a chance to speak, his sleeve rolled up, wrapping Zhiwei and the others in the sword qi.
In the next instant, he merged with his sword, becoming a white sword escape, disappearing in a few blinks.
...
Moments later.
In a secluded hidden cave.
The white sword light descended, revealing the figures of four people.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"
As soon as he landed, the white-haired old man began coughing violently, even spitting out some dark red blood.
The sword strike before had aggravated his old injuries.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" Jin’er, kind-hearted, instinctively wanted to step forward.
Qing Jun, like a fierce little tiger, grabbed Jin’er, eyes full of vigilance as she stared at the white-haired old man:
"Who are you! Why did you save us?"
The old man, just catching his breath, nearly choked again upon these words:
"You little girl have no manners! What do you mean, why save you? Shouldn’t you first thank this old man’s life-saving grace?"
The little girl flared her nostrils slightly and snorted, arguing vehemently:
"Thank you? Do you take Qing Jun for a little kid! You clearly watched us quietly from the side, waited till we used our desperate means, then acted! You were clearly observing from the shadows, testing our abilities!"
