47: Chapter 47: Another formidable foe arrives

The shield shook violently, One-Eyed Dragon retreated three steps in a row, and his blood surged.

The other six were even more miserable. The two who dodged slowly had their protective spiritual light directly slashed to pieces, blood burst from their chests, and they fell to the ground screaming.

"What?!" One-Eyed Dragon widened his eyes. "You... You are at Half-step Foundation Establishment?!"

The power of that sword just now was definitely not something Qi Refining Stage 8 could possess!

Su Li did not answer, and her sword momentum changed again.

"Phantom Shadow Thousand Illusions!"

Her figure suddenly split into three, and three black sword lights pierced towards One-Eyed Dragon from different angles.

"Together!" One-Eyed Dragon roared.

The remaining five gritted their teeth and swarmed forward.

But what shocked them was—Su Li's swordsmanship was too bizarre! Every sword strike was tricky and ruthless, specifically targeting vital points. Moreover, her fighting style was completely reckless, trading injury for injury and life for life.

A man at Qi Condensation 9th Layer wanted to sneak attack from behind. Su Li did not turn back at all, stabbing through his throat with a backhanded sword while forcibly enduring a Spell from the side.

As the firelight dissipated, her shoulder was charred black, but her movements did not stop at all as she severed another person's arm with another sword.

"Madman! This woman is a madman!" Someone screamed in collapse.

The more One-Eyed Dragon fought, the more alarmed he became.

He was at Half-step Foundation Establishment and considered himself a top expert in the mineral veins. Yet facing Su Li, he was actually being suppressed and beaten!

Not only had this woman's cultivation skyrocketed, but her swordsmanship and combat awareness also far exceeded before.

Even more important was that Aura—that resoluteness of "dragging you down with me even if I die," which chilled people to the bone.

This was the resolute combat technique Su Li had honed over five years in the mineral veins.

Just as Su Li pierced the heart of the third person with a sword—

At the other end of the passage, footsteps came again.

Five figures appeared.

At the lead was a Bald Man with a centipede scar on his face—the leader of the Black Wind Five Fiends! He was also at Half-step Foundation Establishment!

When he saw the battle in front of the mine cave, he was stunned at first, and then ecstatic: "This should be a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone mineral vein! Hhahahaha! I'm rich!"

One-Eyed Dragon's expression changed drastically.

Wolves in front, tigers behind!

At the other end of the passage, the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

When the Black Wind Five Fiends rushed into the mine cave, they happened to see the fierce scene of Su Li forcing One-Eyed Dragon back with one sword and injuring another person with a backhand strike.

The Centipede-Scarred Man—that was, the leader of the Black Wind Five Fiends—narrowed his eyes and quickly scanned the entire field.

Su Li, Half-step Foundation Establishment, with ruthless swordsmanship, fighting seven at once without falling behind.

One-Eyed Dragon's group of five, although superior in number, were obviously deterred by Su Li's reckless fighting style and fought timidly.

And further away... the thick, inseparable colorful Spiritual Qi inside the mine cave was almost condensing into substance!

"Mid-Grade Spirit Stone mineral vein!" The Centipede-Scarred Man breathed heavily, and his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins.

He was getting rich! He was fucking getting rich this time! He was only guessing before, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was already crazy!

But the problem came—how to divide it?

One-Eyed Dragon's group would certainly not be willing to give up the fat meat delivered to their mouths. Su Li, this crazy woman, was even more of a tough nut to crack.

The Centipede-Scarred Man's brain turned rapidly, and he made a decision in less than three breaths.

He shouted at One-Eyed Dragon: "One-Eye! You guys can't take this woman down for a while! Why don't we join forces and slaughter her first! The mineral vein... split equally!"

The three words "split equally," he said through gritted teeth—it hurt his heart!

But there was no way, relying solely on the five of them might not be able to handle Su Li. The other few were also not easy to get along with. Instead of risking swallowing it alone, it was better to join forces to clear the biggest obstacle first.

Hearing this, One-Eyed Dragon paused his movements.

He glanced at the Centipede-Scarred Man, then looked at Su Li, who was fighting more and more fiercely, quickly calculating in his heart.

He knew the reputation of the Black Wind Five Fiends; these people were no good birds. Saying split equally now, once they really slaughtered Su Li, they might turn on them right away.

But...

Su Li before his eyes was simply too troublesome to deal with.

Having fought for so long, two people on his side had already been lost, and the remaining five were all injured. Dragging it out further, in case a third group came, then there would be completely no hope left.

Not to mention, if they didn't agree to cooperate at this time, the five people opposite might kick them while they were down.

Between two evils, choose the lesser.

"Fine!" One-Eyed Dragon agreed through gritted teeth, "Kill this crazy woman first! The mineral vein... we'll split it afterwards!"

When he said "we'll split it afterwards," he intentionally accentuated his tone—hinting to his subordinates: Once Su Li dies, get ready to turn on them at any time!

The Centipede-Scarred Man understood and sneered: "Refreshing!"

He turned his head and waved to the four brothers behind him: "Charge! Kill this bitch first!"

The Black Wind Five Fiends joined the battle!

The original five-on-one situation instantly turned into ten-on-one!

Su Li's pressure suddenly increased.

She swept away One-Eyed Dragon's long saber with a sword, dodged the Centipede-Scarred Man's sneak attack by turning sideways, but solidly took a Spell on her back.

"Puff—" She spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered backward.

One-Eyed Dragon's eyes lit up: "Good opportunity! Together!"

The ten people, like sharks smelling blood, pounced towards Su Li from all directions!

Saber lights, sword shadows, Spells, and Talismans intertwined into a net of death.

Su Li gritted her teeth, her long sword dancing into a ball of black light, desperately resisting.

But two fists are no match for four hands, let alone twenty-four hands?

She was pressed from all sides, her wounds growing more numerous and her Aura becoming increasingly chaotic.

"Am I going to die..." This thought flashed through her mind.

But the next second, her eyes turned fierce.

Even if she died, she had to drag a few down with her!

She completely abandoned defense, her sword momentum suddenly turning crazy, every single move being a life-for-life fighting style!

"This crazy woman!" One-Eyed Dragon was frightened into stepping back half a step.

The Centipede-Scarred Man's eyelids also twitched: "Damn it, she's still counterattacking on the verge of death!"

The ten people were actually forced by Su Li's single-minded reckless fighting style not to dare step forward for a moment.

But anyone could see that Su Li was already at the end of her tether.

She couldn't hold on much longer.

And at this moment, deep inside the mine cave.

Inside the mine cave, Xiao Yuan's Divine Sense "watched" all of this.

Hearing One-Eyed Dragon talk about Su Li's experiences over the past five years, his hand mining paused for a moment.

His heart inexplicably tightened.

That woman who would blush and rely on him in front of him had actually carried so much all by herself.

Now, facing ten people alone, she didn't even speak out for help, carrying everything by herself. Perhaps she was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle so many enemies, wanting to wear down the opponents first.

He raised his head and looked towards the passage.

His gaze gradually turned cold.

"Touching my people..."

"You're courting death."

Immediately, he gave up mining and his figure flashed towards the direction of the battle.

---

At the entrance of the passage, the battle was in full swing.

One-Eyed Dragon and the Centipede-Scarred Man caught Su Li in a pincer attack from left and right, while the rest wandered around the perimeter making sneak attacks. Su Li was already injured in multiple places, and her movements began to slow down.

"Su Li, why bother!" One-Eyed Dragon attacked fiercely while persuading her to surrender, "Yield the mineral vein, and we'll let you go!"

"In your dreams!" Su Li gritted her teeth, forcing the Centipede-Scarred Man back with a sword, but exposing a gap behind her!

"Good opportunity!" A thin, monkey-like Cultivator's eyes lit up, and his dagger stabbed straight at her heart from behind!

Su Li wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. A bitter smile arose in her heart, sighing secretly at her own uselessness, while also worrying about Xiao Yuan's safety.

If these ten people rushed inside, would Xiao Yuan be able to handle them?

After all, among this group of people, there were two Half-step Foundation Establishment experts. The remaining eight were also infinitely close to Half-step Foundation Establishment.

She originally wanted to wear a few to death to reduce some pressure for Xiao Yuan, but who would have thought that she was taking things for granted.

Thinking about whether Xiao Yuan would remember her if she died, a complex emotion welled up in her heart. Thinking about how she still had a great revenge unavenged, she was extremely unwilling.
