120: Chapter 120 Starry Sky Secret Realm

Above the sky, a brilliant galaxy hung inverted, pouring down like a waterfall.

Sword light resembling continuous spring water suddenly pierced through the Yao Beast's body. Zhao Wanyi flicked her wrist, and a sharp, blood-colored crescent swept across the sky.

Her breathing was heavy and rapid, her chest heaving violently, and the sound of her gasps was clearly audible.

Since entering the Secret Realm, her fighting had not ceased.

The Yao Beasts in this Secret Realm had multiplied for centuries, their numbers countless; every ten miles, she would encounter a herd of beasts.

Having barely finished killing one group, she encountered Cultivators snatching jade tokens. After dodging the Cultivators' pursuit, she ran into another herd of beasts.

Zhao Wanyi's Spiritual Qi was nearly exhausted, and her face grew paler.

She stored the Yao Beast's corpse, broke open a cave at the foot of an inconspicuous mountain, and hid inside to rest and recover.

Faint starlight energy surged into her body, transforming into Spiritual Qi to rapidly replenish her parched Dantian.

In this Secret Realm, not only did the Yao Beasts and spirit plants contain starlight energy, but the world itself was filled with a vast amount of it, making the efficiency of converting it into Spiritual Qi far superior to Spiritual Qi.

But before she had recovered much Spiritual Qi, a golden arrow struck like a rainbow.

Zhao Wanyi reacted quickly, swiftly drawing her sword to strike.

The two collided with the sound of clashing metal, the entire cave collapsed from the vibration of the Spiritual Qi, and immediately after, a dozen streams of Sword Qi swept out from within the cave.

Zhao Wanyi's figure moved like lightning; the moment she rushed out of the cave, she cast an escape Spell to flee.

Her Spiritual Qi had only recovered by thirty percent, and the number of attackers was unknown; engaging them was unwise.

But the attackers did not intend to let her go. Rustling sounds echoed in the jungle, and arrows wrapped in golden light instantly pierced through thick tree trunks, attacking from all directions, aiming directly at Zhao Wanyi's path forward, her retreat, and her vital points!

Zhao Wanyi stopped abruptly, her Sword Qi raining down continuously, blocking all the arrows.

A figure suddenly appeared behind her, surrounded by the flowing light of a Spell, holding a long spear and thrusting directly at the back of her head.

Zhao Wanyi's expression remained unchanged, the sword light in her hand flashed suddenly, and in the instant the cold gleam appeared, the person behind her was decapitated, spraying a line of crimson blood.

Following closely were three Cultivators surrounding her. Zhao Wanyi remained calm in the face of danger, the flashes of blades and swords raging and sweeping, destroying everything down the hillside.

Zhao Wanyi killed several enemies in succession and took their storage rings, but she was also covered in wounds, blood soaking through her clothes, her face as pale as paper.

The pursuers behind her refused to give up, their sharp killing intent locking onto her. She instinctively raised her sword to block, and the powerful impact sent her flying.

"Is this the only way?"

Zhao Wanyi clutched the jade token, feeling unwilling.

She had only been inside for less than an hour, and to have to crush the jade token to escape was truly too humiliating.

But if she didn't crush it to be teleported out, she might die here.

"Hand over the jade token, and you may be spared."

Just as she was preparing to crush the jade token, a woman opposite her suddenly spoke.

Zhao Wanyi was stunned for a moment, and after a second of hesitation, she realized something was wrong.

A cold glint was reflected in her pupils; the other party was afraid she would crush the jade token and take all the loot with her, so they were only feigning an offer of surrender!

In just a split second, that cold light could pierce through her glabella.

Zhao Wanyi's blood ran cold, the chill of death climbing up her spine, and images of her life flashed before her eyes.

Just at the moment the cold light was about to pierce her glabella, a purple bolt of lightning appeared before her eyes, instantly splitting the incoming sword blade in two!

The woman's expression was shocked, and just as she threw a Talisman forward with both hands, there was a sizzling sound from the purple lightning.

The woman's head exploded with a boom, brains mixed with blood splattering all over the ground...

"Sister Wanyi, are you alright?"

Zhao Wanyi's expression froze, she scrambled to her feet and hurriedly warned: "Fourth Young Master, be careful! There is a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator among them!"

She naturally recognized the voice; the person who had saved her was none other than the Su Family's Fourth Young Master, Su Xuanxiao!

As soon as she finished speaking, lightning flashed in the jungle, followed by continuous explosions and gusts of hot wind.

Zhao Wanyi was extremely anxious.

She wanted to go and help, but her Spiritual Qi was exhausted and her body was extremely weak; she had no choice but to swallow a Medicinal Pill to treat herself.

Bang!

At this moment, a figure flew out from the woods. Zhao Wanyi looked over and was immediately panicked.

Just as she wanted to step forward, she heard the person calmly say: "Don't come over!"

Before the sound had faded, a sudden change occurred!

A middle-aged Cultivator violently rushed out, following Su Xuanxiao's figure. He had a cold expression and, without hesitation, brought out a heavy, ancient-looking cauldron, slamming it fiercely towards Su Xuanxiao, who had just steadied himself.

Su Xuanxiao reacted as fast as lightning; thunder surged around his body, and he punched the cauldron.

Clang!

A deafening metallic roar echoed across the area, and the cauldron was sent flying by the thunder-imbued punch, whistling as it embedded itself into a distant rock face.

The middle-aged Cultivator seemed to have calculated this moment long ago; he moved like a ghost, closing in on Su Xuanxiao, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand, which he viciously stabbed into Su Xuanxiao's neck.

"Fourth Young Master!!!"

Witnessing this scene, Zhao Wanyi was terrified, her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and she screamed.

But the next second, a scene that shocked both her and the middle-aged Cultivator appeared.

Where the dagger had pierced through, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

Su Xuanxiao had no sign of pain on his face, not even a furrow of his brow; he remained chillingly, indifferently calm.

Those eyes, devoid of any ripples, coldly locked onto the middle-aged Cultivator who was inches away.

A bone-chilling cold surged up, and the middle-aged Cultivator instinctively wanted to pull back and retreat, but Su Xuanxiao's arms clamped down like shackles!

Blinding light erupted from Su Xuanxiao's body, and dense runes appeared on his skin.

The next second, light like a blazing sun swallowed everything...

Lightning flashed, crimson flames burned, weaving together into a tornado!

An overwhelming energy shockwave swept in all directions, destroying vegetation and pulverizing rocks wherever it passed!

A familiar figure appeared before Zhao Wanyi, scooped her up, and turned into a bolt of lightning, fleeing swiftly.

"Fourth... Fourth Young Master?!"

Zhao Wanyi saw the other person's face and was so shocked her jaw dropped; her dazed brain gradually recovered, and only then did she realize what had happened.

The Fourth Young Master who had been fighting the middle-aged Cultivator was, from beginning to end, just a Puppet!

What shocked her even more was that the Fourth Young Master had used a Puppet to fight a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator to a standstill, and finally used the Puppet's self-destruction to reduce the opponent to ashes.

Was everyone in the Su Family hiding so deeply?

Just as Zhao Wanyi was about to say something, she suddenly realized Su Xuanxiao was carrying her back the way they came.

"Fourth Young Master, we cannot go back! The commotion just now will attract enemies!"

Zhao Wanyi warned him in a panic, worried that Su Xuanxiao was going back for those meager cultivation resources that might have already been reduced to dust.

Su Xuanxiao calmly replied: "There is a beast herd riot ahead; it is perfect to let these people help clear the way."

At this moment, three figures quietly emerged from the jungle, their appearances identical to Su Xuanxiao's.

One of the Puppets handed over the collected storage rings, another Puppet held a heavy ancient cauldron, and the last Puppet was dragging two corpses, performing Puppetry Art on them.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Wanyi was stunned once again.

She realized she still hadn't been able to see through Su Xuanxiao.

Not only did he manipulate the Puppet to reduce that Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator to ashes and recover all the cultivation resources, but he also simultaneously controlled the Puppets to clear out all the stragglers, truly achieving the goal of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots, leaving no future trouble!

This formidable strength and meticulous thinking left her heart shaken.
