Under the immense pressure, arrows of blood shot out from the hunchbacked man's mouth, eyes, and nose. These blood arrows were so fast that they actually made a sharp "swish swish swish…" sound in the air.
"Ah!"
A scream of extreme pain came from his throat, making one's heart jump in fear. One could feel the deep, bone-marrow-deep pain of the hunchbacked man even from a distance. But Zhao Min's attack on the hunchbacked man did not end there. The peak of her fist was still pressed against the shell, and the ink-black demon flower and its branches and leaves on her arm shook into a blur. One after another, forces rushed out in short, fast, and rapid superimposed vibrations, forming a series of afterimage strikes.
A continuous "thump thump thump…" sound!
The hunchbacked man's trembling body had already turned into a vibrating blur. In less than half a breath, Zhao Min had struck over ten thousand punches. At this moment, she had thrown all caution to the wind.
With a "hiss," a rain of blood and flesh pulp exploded before Zhao Min's eyes, and her person had already rushed out.
A Late-stage Golden Core cultivator had been instantly killed by her!
From the moment the man in the black cloak had attacked, a total of one and a half breaths had passed. Then, she brought her raised jade-like hand backwards and, with a flick, the red-patterned long boot, which had lost its master's control, smashed into the void behind her. And at this time, that five-colored, spotted, thousand-legged centipede-like demonic beast had just arrived, and was right in the range of the boot's smash.
Everything had changed too quickly. An Die's face, in the rear, changed. She never would have dreamed that the hunchbacked man, who was much stronger than her, had perished, smashed to pieces in a single encounter. In her Divine Sense, the hunchbacked man had actually been injured and spat blood in the other party's first strike. But at that time, if he could have retreated, he should have been able to recover after taking a medicinal pill and a short period of healing. But the female cultivator's offensive, once started, was continuous and as fast as lightning. The hunchbacked man's Golden Core had instantly turned into a pile of dust under the tens of thousands of vibrations that followed. He hadn't even had half a chance to escape.
The force on the falling red-patterned long boot still remained at about half. It was too late for that five-colored, spotted, thousand-legged centipede demonic beast to dodge. An Die's mind moved quickly. Her snow-white arm seemed to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, instantly arriving at the sole of the red-patterned long boot. She wanted to use a supporting force to slow down the downward pressure of the long boot.
With a muffled "puff," An Die simultaneously let out a muffled groan. Several medicinal pills had already appeared in her other hand, which she quickly swallowed. Her body trembled violently in the air. Her pretty face turned from white to red, and then from red to white. Several streams of blood were already flowing from the corner of her mouth. The materialized long arm had shattered into pieces after coming into contact with the sole of the boot, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating. The red-patterned long boot only paused for a moment before it heavily smashed into the river below, splashing water everywhere.
An Die's cultivation was only at the Initial-stage Golden Core. Even if half of the force of the red-patterned long boot had been dissipated by Zhao Min, she still could not take the full force of a Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm attack head-on. In a single encounter, several cracks had opened up in several of her internal organs. However, that five-colored, spotted, thousand-legged centipede demonic beast had also flown out under this support, straight for Zhao Min's back.
Just as Zhao Min was about to deal with this demonic beast behind her, her forward-flying figure suddenly made a sharp turn and shot out diagonally. With a ripple in space, a chain flashing with purple fire drilled out of the void like a poisonous snake. With a twist, it missed. Then, a figure completely shrouded in a black cloak appeared in front of Zhao Min. The man in the black cloak's voice, suppressing his anger, came out.
"I didn't expect you to be so strong. Fellow Daoist Yuan was careless!"
He could have actually pursued her closely after the first strike, but there were still two Golden Core cultivators besieging the direction Zhao Min was trying to break through. The man in the black cloak had not pursued relentlessly. To kill one person with several people, he didn't have to risk his life for everything. But in just one breath, a scene that he couldn't believe had appeared. Even he himself wouldn't dare to fight the Yuan-surnamed cultivator head-on. Yet, after a mournful scream, he had immediately turned into a rain of blood and red mist.
"What kind of strength is this?" He was first stunned, but he also immediately reacted. This female cultivator should have the strength of the Pseudo-Nascent Soul Realm, and she was a top-tier Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator who had practiced the path of the physical body.
A body cultivator with the strength of a Pseudo-Nascent Soul. The Yuan-surnamed cultivator had been careless and had chosen to fight head-on. The outcome was unpredictable. And by this time, exactly three breaths had passed. On the other side, Li Yan was being attacked by Wusitu's technique.
On the other side, Wusitu and the old Daoist had of course also seen the scene of Zhao Min's fight. Their attacks immediately paused, and their faces showed looks of shock and fear. Especially Wusitu, his face instantly turned pale. He had wanted to participate in the killing of that female cultivator himself, and let the hunchbacked man cooperate with the old Daoist to disrupt Zhang Ming's mind and directly shatter Li Yan's physical body. But after the hunchbacked man had heard how that female cultivator had defeated Ting Shan, he had immediately become interested. What's more, he didn't want to deal with a cultivator who was only at the Initial-stage Golden Core.
When body cultivators fought, there were many benefits to be gained. The stones of other mountains could be used to polish jade. In the end, Wusitu didn't argue with the hunchbacked man.
'If it had been me who had gone to block the female cultivator just now, although I might not have used that brutal method to block her, with a single misstep, the one who had just perished might have been me!' A wave of fear suddenly rose in Wusitu's heart.
"You guys hurry up and deal with that brat. What are you waiting for?" At this time, the dissatisfied voice of the man in the black cloak came over. He had of course also noticed that the attacks on both sides had a gap.
The old Daoist let out a cold snort, clearly displeased with the man in the black cloak's command. However, his hands still moved again. He pointed again, and at the same time said to Wusitu, "Don't be so careful anymore. That person's consciousness is already in chaos, and he's been hit by so much of your corpse poison. Attack quickly!"
As the old Daoist spoke, the sound of an incantation rose from his mouth again.
"Sleep! Human life is but a fleeting dream in the south branch…"
Their pause had only been for half a breath in total. On the other side, Li Yan's eyes, which had just been somewhat focused by Zhao Min's urgent cry, scattered again under the sound of the old Daoist's incantation.
This time, Wusitu didn't say any more. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. A gray light flashed in his hand, and a dark black long rod appeared in his hand. One after another, skulls were carved on the dark black long rod, giving off a gloomy and sinister feeling at a glance.
Wusitu's figure flickered and appeared in front of Li Yan. Without hesitation, he smashed the rod fiercely towards Li Yan's head. The dark black long rod carried a dull whistling sound and, without any obstruction, heavily smashed onto the head of Li Yan, who was swaying and beginning to fall…
In the distance, Zhao Min let out a sharp cry. Her eyes turned scarlet, but she was tightly entangled by the prepared man in the black cloak and An Die. Although Zhao Min had previously erupted with power and rushed forward a certain distance, she still couldn't stop Wusitu's attack. She could only watch helplessly as that dark black long rod struck Li Yan's head.
Even the magical treasure of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator could easily destroy a large mountain or a town. This was effortless for them.
After Li Yan took a blow to the head, a scene that Wusitu couldn't believe happened. His magical treasure seemed to have struck a ten-thousand-year-old stubborn rock, shaking his arms so much that they were numb and sore. And although a blood arrow shot out from the top of Li Yan's head, and his skin was broken and his flesh was torn, his head actually didn't explode into a cloud of blood mist as expected.
"This is impossible…"
Not only was Wusitu stunned, but the other few people were also stunned.
"A physical body that can withstand the attack of a magical treasure? Wusitu, don't kill him. Use a technique to imprison him, imprison him! They have a supreme body refining technique!" The old Daoist suddenly shouted, his hand seals also stopping, his eyes filled with greed.
At this time, he was the first to react. Recalling the extremely brutal method the female cultivator had used to kill the Yuan-surnamed cultivator, how could he not know what kind of cultivation method these two possessed? It must be a top-tier body refining technique that surpassed that of the "Savage Turtle Sect"!
Li Yan, on the other hand, was sent plummeting towards the river below at an even faster speed by that blow. His eyes were tightly closed. Although he had not perished under the heavy blow of the magical treasure, he had completely fallen into a coma.
A great blue light shone from Zhao Min's body, forcing the man in the black cloak and An Die to retreat again and again even when they joined forces.
"What sect are these cultivators from? This is too formidable. We absolutely cannot let them escape today, otherwise our sect will surely face a great disaster!" The man in the black cloak was greatly terrified. At this time, his magical power was already fully unleashed, but he still couldn't stop the attack of the berserk female cultivator. He was already certain that the force behind this kind of person must be terrifyingly strong. He hurriedly transmitted his voice to the old Daoist and the others.
At this moment, Zhao Min was like a crazy deep blue demon god. Every attack of hers forced the two of them to retreat continuously. At the same time, she raised her jade-like hand, and a large amount of yellow sand-like things flew out like a torrential downpour. As a sharp cry continuously came from her mouth, the moment those yellow things appeared, this space was filled with "swish swish swish…" sounds. In an instant, a sharp sound of breaking through the air rang out.
Then countless dark yellow lights shot to the side, their target being An Die and her five-colored, spotted, thousand-legged centipede demonic beast.
"Crossbow Worms, she can control Crossbow Worms!"
As people who had come here to scout before, the moment those yellow things appeared, An Die's face changed as she swept her Divine Sense over them. Although it was said that someone could control this kind of demonic beast, it was at most about a hundred. How could it be like this, covering the sky and the earth?
And at the same time, Zhao Min's movements did not stop. She waved her jade-like hand forward again, and with a "buzzing" sound, a dense patch of various small insects of different sizes and shapes, either flying, scurrying, or jumping, rushed straight towards the man in the black cloak.
"This… this is a Gu-insect!"
The man in the black cloak was already extremely surprised that the other party could control Crossbow Worms, but in the next moment, he saw various small insects that he didn't recognize coming towards him. His face changed drastically. He suddenly thought of something, and his heart was in turmoil.
"A domineering body cultivator, she… she's also a great Gu-insect master?"
Zhao Min hadn't expected that on a trip to the secret grotto, they would encounter just a few cultivators of the same realm, and they would be forced into a dead end. There was only one thought in her mind: kill all these people in front of her. Otherwise, whichever of her and Li Yan died first, the other would die instantly. She hadn't refined these Gu-insects to the point where they could truly kill a Golden Core cultivator, but they would definitely make the other party endlessly wary. Especially the special attack method of the Crossbow Worms, which would make cultivators familiar with this place even more wary. Zhao Min had all the Crossbow Worms deal with that female cultivator and her companion demonic beast.
Zhao Min herself, along with the Gu-insects, charged towards the man in the black cloak. Behind that person, the unconscious Li Yan was falling towards the river!
A light flashed in the eyes of the old Daoist and Wusitu. Their figures simultaneously rushed downwards. And although the old Daoist was farther away from Li Yan, his speed was faster. This was the difference in strength.
Just before Li Yan was about to fall into the river, the old Daoist had already arrived above Li Yan's head, one step ahead of Wusitu. His palm flickered with streaks of seal imprints, and he grabbed towards the top of Li Yan's head. He wanted to completely seal Li Yan, and then he could use the Soul-Searching Grand Art to obtain Li Yan's techniques and divine abilities.
