Chapter 231 - Yiyi's Changes

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh---

Dang, dang, dang---

In the snow-covered cedar forest, snow and needles were sent flying in all directions by the turbulent wind.

The relentless pursuit of the three Core Formation cultivators coupled with the burns from the furnace explosion made Yun Jiujiu reach her limit. Her slightly wavy golden hair was now flying in disarray. Her eyes, once filled with rage, showed the exhaustion of a dying person, the light within them fading.

She wielded a long sword snatched from a Foundation Building cultivator amidst the snow mist, emitting dazzling white brilliance.

Clang---

"Haaa---"

The powerful vertical slash made the light sword in her hand resemble a bear's claw, showing Yun Jiujiu's terrifying strength that was beyond ordinary cultivators.

Although the Core Formation cultivator reacted promptly and held the sword above his head with both hands, the difference in strength was clearly displayed when the two blades made contact.

Yun Jiujiu's innate supernatural power was said to have been passed down from the Dragon Emperor, who could cover the sun and the moon and move thousands of mountains. After forcing a breakthrough at the cost of destroying her meridians, this magical power was brought to the extreme.

In terms of pure strength, even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to win against her.

Under Yun Jiujiu's heavy blow, the man's eyes showed panic as his feet crushed the rock formations below, countless cracks extending on the ground.

Boom---

Clang---

The sword held by the Core Formation cultivator had already been bent to the maximum arc that its toughness could bear, but Yun Jiujiu increased her strength by 30%.

On her thin arms, which looked as fragile as glass, the blood vessels could not withstand the pressure and burst one after another, a great amount of blood spurting out.

"Die already!!"

In the sound of the angry, childish voice, the sword in the man's hand broke with a "click".

Yun Jiujiu's sword swiftly slid through his neck and swept across half of his body before landing on the rocky formation.

Boom---

The vibrations, like a dragon rolling into the earth, spread in all directions, and the rock formations ten feet around the two people instantly turned into rubble, flying hundreds of feet into the air.

Seeing this, Yun Yiyi, who was resting under a tree ten feet away, raised her right hand with difficulty, turning it into a spirit shield to block the flying debris.

"Jiujiu..."

Yun Yiyi looked at the blood streaming on Yun Jiujiu's body and gritted her teeth, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.

She could see that every swing of Yun Jiujiu's sword was draining her life force, and every movement was bound to be accompanied by unbearable pain for an ordinary person.

A heat wave suddenly rose in the forest, and the flames carried thousands of debris, knocking Yun Jiujiu away. She skipped like a pebble on the surface of water on the snow-covered rocks for dozens of feet before finally stopping, after breaking dozens of trees thicker than her body.

"Cough---"

Yun Jiujiu coughed up a mouthful of blood, but after landing, she did not hesitate at all. She propped herself up and tried to grab the sword to rush back, but she suddenly found that her hand could no longer hold the sword and she couldn't even stand up.

The other two Core Formation cultivators held their swords, panting, with a look of disbelief in their ancient eyes.

As disciples of the Sword Sect, they had heard about Yun Jiujiu's innate supernatural abilities. However, they never expected that she, a cultivator in the late Foundation Building stage, could withstand the attack of three Core Formation cultivators for so long and even kill one of them.

But the fight was over as expected. They could see that Yun Jiujiu had reached her limit.

The two took a few deep breaths to calm themselves and, ignoring Yun Jiujiu who was lying on the ground twenty feet away, they turned and walked toward Yun Yiyi who was closer to them.

The swords in their hands reflected a dazzling white light as they stabbed Yun Yiyi's chest.

Seeing this, Yun Jiujiu ground her teeth and filled her lungs with air.

"Motherfuckers!! Stay away from my sister!!!"

As she roared, her already powerless body once again burst out with incredible strength and rose, arriving in an instant in front of Yun Yiyi from twenty feet away.

This instant displacement could almost rival the escape technique of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and the result was a large amount of blood gushing out from her knees.

The two men were shocked but did not halt their long swords.

Ding---

Yun Jiujiu raised her sword and blocked them.

And just before the three swords collided again, on the branch of a cedar tree not far away, the young man who had been watching for a long time slightly raised the corners of his mouth and ordered in a very calm voice. "Now."

In an instant, a silver figure flashed down.

Clang---

A fourth sword was inserted between the three swords of Yun Jiujiu and those two cultivators.

The next moment---

Swish---

A golden light swept across the waist of one of the men.

The sword wind blew horizontally, sweeping away the snow behind that person in a blank fan shape.

"Hehe--"

Feng Yu Die turned her head and grinned at Yun Jiujiu and Yun Yiyi watching from behind her. Then, she raised her foot and kicked that man's lower body away.
