Chapter 84: Zhang Yunlu vs. ‘Xiao Fan’ (Fourth Update)
“He really isn’t hiding it at all; he actually took over that junior’s body by using the spiritual energy he harvested.” Huo watched everything happening in the Mystic Realm with cold eyes.
He hadn't concealed the characteristics of his power.
In other words, that old guy clearly knew he was being monitored, yet he remained completely unconcerned.
It was as if he was deliberately looking down on him.
“It seems His scheme is indeed related to me.” This confirmed it. Huo looked at Xu Xing, “Dao Brother, what do you think we should do?”
He didn't get angry or feel annoyed because of this; that kind of thing was meaningless.
“Wait a little longer.”
Xu Xing also watched the Mystic Realm.
His intentions were still unclear. Acting rashly might be exactly what He wanted.
“Wah ah—! Shishu, this person is too shameless!” Chi Jiuyu’s voice came from the side.
Xiao Fan began chasing Zhang Yunlu, and she naturally saw the vast army of Tongxuan Grass Monsters.
These Tongxuan Grass Monsters were not just cannon fodder; each one was equivalent to a normal Sword Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
She did a quick calculation.
If it were her at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, she might be able to handle one or two hundred, and perhaps fight against three or four hundred.
But once the number exceeded five hundred, even she at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer would find it somewhat difficult to cope.
As for a number exceeding a thousand...
What's the point of fighting? Just run!
At the Qi Refining stage, one couldn't even use Sword Control Technique.
If the Realm was changed to Foundation Establishment, it would be different. If both sides were Foundation Establishment, she could kill all ten thousand of them!
If she herself was like this, let alone the weak Qi Training stage trial-takers in the Mystic Realm.
This was simply unfair!
Other trial-takers were still doing solo battle royale, and you're already building up a StarCraft-like army here?
Who can win against you!
“I think his ability should be disabled!”
“No rush.” Xu Xing shook his head slightly, “Although it’s dangerous, this is also an opportunity for her.”
“Opportunity?” Chi Jiuyu scratched her head and looked up, “But Xiao Yunlu has to turn around and fight first.”
Through the light screen, Zhang Yunlu was seen desperately fleeing. Having witnessed Xiao Ming being surrounded and killed, she didn't think she would fare much better if she fell into that situation.
‘Xiao Fan’ walked leisurely, as if on an outing, trailing behind her unhurriedly.
And at the very back was a vast army of Tongxuan Grass Monsters, stirring up waves of dust.
Some scattered wandering Tongxuan Grass Monsters were swept into it, their spiritual energy instantly seized, their purplish-blue eyes turning colorful.
Like a rolling snowball, the group grew larger and larger.
Some passing trial-takers only needed a distant glance to be startled by the dust waves that were like surging ocean waves, obscuring the sky and sun, and they quickly avoided the area.
What did this person do to be chased by so many monsters?
Zhang Yunlu also knew she couldn't drag this on, so she deliberately chose areas that were difficult to traverse.
However, the effect was not significant.
‘Xiao Fan’ still maintained his unhurried demeanor, walking on any difficult terrain as if it were flat ground.
And those Tongxuan Grass Monsters could cling to nearly vertical cliffs like geckos, making them even harder to shake off.
After a series of twists and turns, she hadn't shaken off many pursuers, but Zhang Yunlu herself had consumed a lot of stamina.
‘No!’
She couldn't keep running. Being caught was only a matter of time.
She had to find a way to pull him into the battle space; only then would there be a glimmer of hope!
With her mind set, Zhang Yunlu no longer hesitated.
Bending down, she used her hand to support herself on the ground, turned around, and headed straight for ‘Xiao Fan’.
“Oh, finally not running anymore.”
‘Xiao Fan’ smiled slightly and stopped in his tracks. Tongxuan Grass Monsters rushed out from both sides of him, attacking Zhang Yunlu fearlessly, effectively slowing her down.
Perhaps worried that Zhang Yunlu would turn around and run again, he added, “Don’t worry, I’ll stand right here. If you can rush into the range, you’ll have hope.”
If you run, I'll chase you until you're exhausted.
If you fight, there's a glimmer of hope.
Watching Zhang Yunlu struggle to break through the Tongxuan Grass Monsters’ blockade and rush towards him, a smile appeared on ‘Xiao Fan’s face.
The sight of living beings struggling was truly something he could never see enough of.
And this was a Human Clan, a Human Clan Sword Cultivator who was about to achieve Enlightenment of Principles, the kind he disliked the most.
...
...
Bang!
Seeing this scene, Chi Jiuyu slammed the table and stood up.
“This guy is really too much!”
Cheating is one thing, but what are you pretending for?
She hated people who were even more pretentious than herself!
Within the encirclement of numerous Tongxuan Grass Monsters, Zhang Yunlu’s expression remained unchanged, purple energy flowing in her eyes, unmoved by ‘Xiao Fan’s words.
While fending off attacks from all directions, she was also constantly approaching ‘Xiao Fan’.
Fifty meters, forty-five meters, forty meters, thirty-five meters...
Thirty meters!
Now!
Boom!
The sword struck, resounding like thunder. This was Sword Qi Thunder Sound, shaking spirits and deterring minds!
The movements of all the surrounding Tongxuan Grass Monsters paused. Their spiritual energy was seized, and they were affected more greatly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yunlu’s figure was as elusive as a swimming dragon, like a startled swan's fleeting shadow, and in an instant, she crossed the final ten meters and arrived in front of ‘Xiao Fan’.
This was the 《Startled Swan Flowing Cloud Steps》, a reward she received for participating in the second round of trials.
Instantly, all the surrounding scenery faded away, but ‘Xiao Fan’s expression didn't change at all, still wearing a smile.
【Battle Start】
Golden text appeared between the two.
Looking at ‘Xiao Fan’ who was not far away, Zhang Yunlu felt no joy of success in her heart.
Because the feeling of extreme danger had not diminished in the slightest; instead, it had become even more intense.
Although there was only one person, he was more dangerous than all the Tongxuan Grass Monsters outside combined!
She instinctively held her breath, her muscles tense.
“A Sword Cultivator about to achieve Enlightenment of Principles, having this kind of gain is beyond my expectation.”
‘Xiao Fan’ raised his hand and beckoned. Zhang Yunlu felt a burning sensation in her hand.
Looking down, she saw a point of red light glowing. A blood jade threaded with a red string flew out from her storage ring and floated quietly in front of her.
This was... the red jade necklace her parents left her!
“How about this, you take this, and I will spare your life?”
Hmm?
Zhang Yunlu frowned slightly.
“Are you insulting me?”
“Insult? No, this is an opportunity I bestow upon you, an opportunity to change your destiny.” ‘Xiao Fan’ smiled, “Did you see my methods just now? As long as you take this drop of * Clan blood, you can also...”
Hmm?
He still couldn't say that word.
This time, the smile on his face finally disappeared, replaced by a layer of gloom.
Why?
Why, even after changing to himself, could he still not say the word ‘Cang’!
Zhang Yunlu became even more confused.
What exactly was this strange Xiao Fan trying to do, and why did he stop talking halfway through?
“Alright, tell me your answer!”
Perhaps the recent events made him very unhappy; he stopped explaining and asked directly.
“I refuse.” Zhang Yunlu said directly.
“Good.”
Before he finished speaking, the cold sword tip was already three inches from her eyebrows!
In an instant, life and death hung in the balance!
This was Zhang Yunlu’s current predicament.
That sword came too fast and too fierce, so fast that she only had time to slightly turn her head.
Schwing!
A pain in her brow, and a few strands of black hair were cut off.
After dodging the first sword, she stepped back quickly, but ‘Xiao Fan’ remained unhurried, his long sword following like a shadow.
