Chapter 197 - Arc 12: Ruyi Xianzhuang | Chapter 197: Drenched in Blood

Translator: Lynn

In this critical moment, with each stroke of Yun Lie’s longsword, it brought forth a rain of blood, creating a gruesome spectacle as it sprayed through the air, carried by the howling winds. Initially, Yun Lie had intended to fight his way through step by step, but the demons closed in rapidly, leaving him with little choice. Given the current dire situation, his priority was to locate an escape route and break free from the encirclement, as the future was far too uncertain to risk.

Having battled through hundreds of conflicts, Yun Lie, while still engaged with the demons, managed to transmit a message telepathically.

Xu Ziqing’s expression froze as he received the message from his senior brother.

“Ziqing, time is not on our side. Perhaps you can try to leap onto my back?” Visjt novelbin(.)com for new updates

“Brother, please wait for a moment. Ziqing will do his best!”

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ziqing understood that even if Rong Jin refrained from using his full power, he stood no chance against the Golden Core demons. However, if the aim was merely to get closer to his senior brother so that he could carry him, it was worth an attempt.

Yet, it was no simple task. Yun Lie was engaged in a fierce battle with the demons, moving and striking with great speed, making it challenging to discern their precise trajectory and the opportune moment to make a leap. If he failed, Xu Ziqing would find himself encircled by demons, and Yun Lie might not be able to rescue him in time, leaving him vulnerable to being drained of his flesh and blood.

However, Xu Ziqing had made up his mind. In case of failure, he was willing to accept the consequences. Rather than becoming a hindrance to his brother, he chose to fight valiantly. If he were to find himself in dire circumstances, releasing Rong Jin would obscure his identity amidst a horde of monsters, rendering him less conspicuous to others. With his resolve firm, Xu Ziqing pressed on.

As he clenched his fist, the primordial fluid within his dantian surged vigorously, coursing through every vein in his body. The thick, mastered primordial essence converted into potent energy strands that advanced toward the spiritual sea, condensing swiftly into a spherical form. At the center of his brow, the Qingyun Needle hesitated momentarily, then absorbed all the energy in a sudden burst, radiating a brilliant blue light.

Xu Ziqing shouted, “Guh!”

The Qingyun Needle darted forth, targeting the two demon heads flanking Yun Lie, and shot towards them.

A thunderous explosion echoed, as countless deadwood auras collided forcefully with the faces of the demons, the blinding light momentarily stunning them. Waving the Qingyun Needle, Yun Lie dispersed the demons.

Yun Lie eliminated a demon head with a swift backward strike, then shifted his position to confront the remaining two demon heads that had momentarily paused.

During this brief intermission, the other demons pounced.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ziqing channeled the last of his remaining energy, leaped towards Yun Lie, and collided with his back.

Yun Lie immediately instructed in a firm tone, “Hold on tight.”

Xu Ziqing reacted swiftly, entwining his limbs around Yun Lie’s body, understanding that his senior brother might need to employ ruthless tactics in the immediate future. The closer he remained to his senior brother, the more effectively he could accommodate Yun Lie’s actions.

Their synergy was remarkable.

Yun Lie stood tall, concealing any signs of exhaustion, although his dantian had been nearly depleted.

Xu Ziqing, however, understood that his brother was running on fumes. Upon reaching a safe haven, he promptly released his grip from his brother’s back and descended.

Yun Lie turned towards Xu Ziqing and inquired, “Are you alright?”

Xu Ziqing maintained his composure. “I’m fine. Please rest immediately, brother.”

Yun Lie noticed the concern in his younger brother’s eyes and nodded slightly. From his pocket, he withdrew a porcelain bottle and unsealed it with a flick of his finger, revealing a cluster of five top-grade Kuiyuan Pills. These pills were ten thousand times more potent than the One-Yuan Pill.

Yun Lie clenched his fists, and the elixirs disintegrated instantly, forming a fine mist that he absorbed into his body. It transformed into a stream of energy,

The Sunu elders took advantage of the opportunity to open the protective barriers of Ruyi Xianzhuang and allowed all the cultivators who had been uncertain when to enter!

Despite numerous demon casualties within the fairy orchard, the losses and injuries among the immortal cultivators were even more severe by comparison.

The forces of the demonic path were rapidly increasing, bringing forth malevolent clouds and eerie gusts.

Wherever they traversed, the beautiful fairy flowers and fruits withered and perished, and the once pristine land was eroded, pocked with craters and hollows, making it unbearable to witness.

Elder Qin, with the highest cultivation level, was on the verge of entering the Nascent Soul stage. Nevertheless, his heart raced as he observed the demonic horde behaving like wolves and tigers.

Remaining composed, he took a step back and delegated command to a few fellow elders. Then, he hastened to Yun Lie and spoke urgently, “Yun Lie, retrieve the Spirit Mirror. This time, the demons are well-prepared, and I don’t know what further changes may occur. I must quickly report to the Sect Master.”

What initially appeared to be a confrontation between a few demonic individuals in the fairy village had escalated. Now, Elder Qin, a Nascent Soul cultivator, was questioning whether he could control the situation effectively.

With most of Yun Lie’s strength restored, he maintained a stern expression and, with a swift motion, produced the Spirit Mirror.

Several core disciples reacted swiftly, joining Yun Lie in the process. Together, they dripped their blood on the mirror’s surface and activated it.

As the suzerain’s image materialized, Elder Qin wasted no time. He directed the Spirit Mirror toward the battlefront, quickly conveying the situation and sharing crucial information with the Sect Master.

In response, the Sect Master uttered only one command: “Ensure the safety of the disciples,” before vanishing from the mirror.

In that moment, everyone comprehended that the Sect Master was aware of the situation and would take action to prevent the disciples of the Wuling Immortal Sect from perishing here. All they had to do now was wait for an hour and three-quarters, and when the Sect Master arrived, everything would be resolved.

This realization ignited a sense of relief among the disciples, and the morale that had waned upon witnessing the influx of demons was significantly rejuvenated.
