When that green-haired little girl appeared and began chanting her incantation, Yuyan felt her sensory system being completely overwheld by a vast wave of energy fluctuations.
This divine oppressive force could no longer be asured by simple cultivation realm divisions.
Because she wasn't a cultivator at all, but rather a secret realm guardian deity born from absorbing heaven and earth's nutrients over thousands of years, condensed from the essence and souls of all living things.
In an instant, as Yuyan felt the grass and wood sprouts visibly breaking through the soil beneath her feet, her mind imdiately recalled the ancient tree demon that Yino had described to her three months ago.
"Could this be..."
"The thousand-year-old tree demon of Azure Forest?"
Yuyan's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
In her astonishnt, she also sensed a crisis rising from beneath her feet.
Looking down, Yuyan saw that the flower and grass buds that had just broken through the soil re seconds ago had now rapidly grown to a full nine inches tall.
Moreover, these plants seed alive, continuously wrapping around Yuyan's ankles and calves.
Swoosh—!
At the critical mont, Yuyan hastily drew her sword to cut through the vegetation. She channeled spiritual energy to her feet, leaped up with a powerful bound, forcibly broke free from the entangling plants below, and quickly flew into the air on her sword.
Yuyan deeply disliked this feeling of having her feet bound, because being unable to move ant being at others' rcy, which made her feel very insecure.
anwhile, from her position in the sky, Yuyan surveyed her surroundings. Sure enough, as the little girl chanted her incantation, a ten-mile radius centered on her had been completely sealed by a erald green barrier, and the original desert terrain had miraculously transford into an oasis under the girl's spiritual power nourishnt.
"Ji Zichen, how long are you going to keep pretending?!"
With battle imminent, Yuyan couldn't help but call out coldly.
Because when she had just broken free from the plant entanglent, her peripheral vision had already noticed that Zichen was still standing on the ground, and the vegetation beneath his feet hadn't grown wildly.
Clearly, this ant Zichen was in collusion with those two demonesses.
"Oh? So you discovered it long ago?"
Seeing his identity exposed, Zichen also turned around, boldly exposing his back to the two Full Moon Sect holy maiden, directly facing Yuyan soaring above.
But just to be safe, before showing off, Zichen still glanced back at Liuli and i in the distance.
He was certain that with the current situation being four against one, the advantage was his. No matter how talented Yuyan was, she definitely couldn't escape this inescapable net this ti!
Thinking this, Zichen could finally drop his disguise and laugh sowhat arrogantly:
"Yuyan, do you still rember that Nine Provinces martial competition from five years ago?"
"Back then, you were so proud and untouchable, a true sword dao genius I didn't dare covet even in my dreams. Even our Jianlan Sect's sect master and elders praised you endlessly..."
"But tis have changed."
"Yuyan, it's precisely because you're naturally arrogant yet possess such sword dao talent that you've been targeted by soone you absolutely cannot afford to offend."
"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to seeing you captured today and—"
Zichen had a smug cold smile on his face and was still talking endlessly.
But before he could finish his monologue, a plum blossom branch from nearby suddenly whipped over and slapped him hard across the face.
"Brat, haven't you heard the saying that villains die from talking too much?"
At the cliff's edge, the white-skirted girl lifted her legs and stepped forward, treading lightly across the grassland as she gradually walked toward the center of the battlefield.
As she passed in front of Zichen, she elegantly retrieved the plum blossom branch with a graceful gesture, giving him a sideways glance with charming eyes and a cold, mocking smile:
"Disaster cos from the mouth. Talk less nonsense. You won't be needed next, so just stand there and watch properly."
i spoke indifferently, raising both hands to stretch elegantly, then turned her gaze toward Yuyan.
With the great battle imminent, Zichen was too frightened to make a sound and could only obediently retreat to the side to prepare for spectating.
"Lily, you provide support from behind."
On the other side, Liuli also narrowed her cold eyes slightly, giving calm instructions.
As her words fell, Lily nodded obediently and stood in place, gazing from afar at Yuyan who had fallen into a trapped beast's predicant.
"Sister, please be careful..."
The little girl spoke softly.
Before her, i looked back at her once, then suddenly two blood-colored vines with side thorns grew from the sleeves of her red dress.
The next second, the red-skirted girl transford into a blood-colored afterimage and vanished from her original position—
Clang!!!
The blood-colored vines beca spears, suddenly piercing from all directions.
Yuyan dodged sideways while wielding her sword in battle, but compared to her previously composed and steady swordsmanship, she was clearly being disrupted by the opponent's dazzling, three-dinsional saturation attack of multiple vines.
Clang—!
Another sword clash rang out, and the Frost Chant sword actually failed to cut through these whip-like vines in terms of hardness!
In that mont, Yuyan's eyes widened as she realized the opponent's strength far exceeded her impression of peak Nascent Soul stage.
From this perspective...
Even the seemingly gentle Liuli was still worthy of being called a Full Moon Sect Holy Maiden!
"Yuyan, did you really think I wasn't fighting back before because I was afraid of you?!"
Countless vines attacked from all directions, and before Yuyan, the soft and charming girl in red dress finally revealed a few traces of madness as she smiled coldly and curled her lips upward.
Yuyan no longer had the heart to argue with her.
Because while she was concentrating on battling these vines, another red and white afterimage was flying toward her from the side.
Swoosh—!!!
At the critical mont, Yuyan suddenly leaned back with a dramatic arch.
The plum blossom sword embroidered with blood-colored ancient runes passed through her chest area by re milliters, fortunately only lightly tearing a layer of her white clothing's chest wrapping, without exposing anything beneath.
"What a pity, I almost helped you lose weight!"
"After all, carrying such a big lump of fat every day, don't you find it troubleso in battle?"
In the center of the whirlwind of dancing vines, i with now blood-colored twin tails also made a magnificent entrance wielding a plum blossom sword.
Compared to the senior Holy Maiden, this one was even more heavyweight.
Her offensive was more ferocious. Since she was personally wielding the plum blossom sword in close combat, her lee abilities were more wildly aggressive, even making Yuyan, a sword dao genius, feel sowhat frightened by her reckless disregard for life.
After all... evil sect swordsmanship was always based on blood, willing to damage oneself by a thousand or ten thousand just to harm the enemy by eight hundred!
And to better wound her enemy, i's movent techniques often involved directly eting Yuyan's sword attacks head-on.
She made it clear that she wanted to trade blows with Yuyan.
She could completely accept being beheaded by Yuyan's sword, but correspondingly, if Yuyan wanted to behead her, she would at least take a sword to the chest.
Theoretically speaking, Yuyan would still profit.
But when the sword edge actually ca, Yuyan still backed down.
She was a human.
She really didn't want to exchange blood with a crazy beast...
Just like how stronger humans would still be chased and bitten by stray dogs on the street.
She might be able to kill i, but she couldn't bear the cost of being bitten and potentially infected with rabies.
"Hahaha!"
"The great senior sister and sword leader of Wuji Sect who strikes fear into Western Region evil cultivators, I see she's nothing special after all!"
i's swordsmanship flowed, sotis bending backward, sotis turning to strike with her sword. Her posture was as elegant as dance steps, yet every move was extrely dangerous, walking on the edge of life and death.
This was the art that i believed in.
For i, challenging limits, every heart stoppage before near-death, every celebration of surviving a life-gambling ordeal, all of it could make her blood boil and truly feel the aning of being alive.
She hadn't been this excited in a long ti, because most righteous cultivators simply couldn't make her feel the crisis of death.
"How about it? Isn't it gorgeous? Isn't every sword technique approaching perfection?"
"Senior ~, how many points would you give my sword dance?"
As Yuyan retreated everywhere, i beca more and more excited in battle, as if every successful gamble was an exquisite and extre waltz for her.
But in Yuyan's view, the opponent was just a completely chaotic mad dog.
After fighting i for less than five minutes, Yuyan seed to already miss yesterday's sword fight with Yino.
Although Yino was also very tornting, at least his swordsmanship still allowed Yuyan to see cause and effect logic.
Yuyan could understand the origin and direction of each of his sword techniques.
But this mad dog's swordsmanship was purely about bleeding for the sake of bleeding...
After several rounds of exchanges, although Yuyan inevitably had a few light sword wounds on her body, obviously i, who was on the offensive, was bleeding much more severely.
But what made Yuyan feel even more eerie was...
She seed to beco more excited the more she bled.
Every ti Yuyan's sword cut her arm or cheek, after a brief mont of sensing the pain, the opponent would beco more agile.
"Not enough! Not enough! Faster, faster! Go even faster!"
"Ahhhh~ Don't stop~, conquer ruthlessly, let feel the constant pressure of approaching death!"
As the wounds on her body increased, i's originally red and white gradient twin tails were gradually being stained by blood.
At the sa ti, Yuyan also noticed that her cultivation was explosively increasing by multiples, and even that beautiful little white dress had gradually been dyed red by continuously flowing blood.
[Radiant Reappearance, Sighing Words Deceiving Plums—!]
"Haha! Hahahaha—!"
...
...
...
At the Western Region cliffs, outside the blood-splattered battlefield, Yino sat atop the chaotic rocky precipice, gazing from afar at the giant blood-colored plum blossom blooming like fireworks ten miles away.
As the plum blossom exploded in the sky, the mixed scent of blood and floral fragrance also wafted over.
"This blood-staining-the-sky ultimate move special effect feels much more bloody than the original work's 3D animation..."
"i's killing intent gauge is full and she's using her ultimate. Now Yuyan should also be entering her second phase."
Yino rested his chin with his hand, calmly analyzing the situation.
In his arms, a fox drooped her ears, also sowhat listlessly observing the battle.
"Jinyue, tell , for you evil cultivators cursed by the Demon Abyss, does gaining power an becoming crazy like her?"
Yino rubbed the foxgirl's head, speaking with so regret and resignation.
He sighed, seeming helpless: "Isn't there any way to make you powerful while keeping you as clever as you are now, without being cursed by the Demon Abyss and turning into a crazy demon witch?"
"Don't worry. Even if I really go crazy soday, I'll still recognize you."
"Is that so."
