126: Chapter 126 Sword Qi Transforms into a Rainbow

Inside the thatched cottage.

Su Xuanxiao woke up from his coma. He felt a sudden dryness in his mouth and throat, so he took out a cup of spirit spring water from his storage ring and poured it into his mouth. The sweetness slid down his throat, soothing his voice.

The spirit spring water not only accelerated the growth of spirit plants but also possessed excellent healing properties. Supplemented by High Grade healing Medicinal Pills, along with the star energy surging into his body, eighty percent of the injuries on Su Xuanxiao's body had recovered.

"Although Father and Mother are not by our side, they are protecting us at every moment..." Su Xuanxiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Only the Su Family could wantonly enjoy High Grade Medicinal Pills, and he didn't know how many times these pills had saved them from danger.

"Fourth Younger Brother, you're awake!" Su Xuanheng walked into the room. Seeing that Fourth Younger Brother was awake, his face immediately lit up with joy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"How are the others?" Su Xuanxiao asked.

"They have all mostly recovered and are keeping watch outside. You were the most severely injured and the last to wake up."

A complex look appeared in Su Xuanheng's eyes. He was gratified by his younger brother's behavior of not abandoning his companions, but also angry at his younger brother for disregarding his own safety.

What virtue or ability did Cheng Ningxiang and Zhao Wanyi possess to make his Fourth Younger Brother risk his life to save them?

Cheng Ningxiang and her grandfather had merely said a few words in Luoxuan City to help Fourth Younger Brother out of a predicament. Even if they had done nothing, Fourth Younger Brother would have already broken the situation.

As for Zhao Wanyi, it went without saying. As a Su Family servant, it should have been her duty to protect Fourth Younger Brother with her life, but the result was the opposite.

It would be unreasonable if both women didn't offer themselves to him!

Thinking about this, Su Xuanheng suddenly felt there was potential.

Ever since Zhao Wanyi was rescued by Fourth Younger Brother, the way she looked at Fourth Younger Brother had changed.

Before he was married, Su Xuanheng was not sensitive to emotions, but now that he was a father of two, how could he not see that Zhao Wanyi had already secretly given her heart to him, only restraining herself and not daring to express it due to their master-servant status?

However, the Su Family did not mind this status gap; the Su Family cared more about good character.

As for Cheng Ningxiang...

Su Xuanheng couldn't tell for the time being.

The other party currently had no mind to think about other matters because the Lingxi Sect was being slaughtered by demonic Cultivators, and her grandfather's life or death was unknown.

But Cheng Ningxiang's age was similar to Fourth Younger Brother's, making her even more suitable to be a marriage partner than Zhao Wanyi, although for a Cultivator, age was not an issue.

Su Xuanxiao had no idea what his eldest brother was thinking. He stood up and loosened his stiff muscles and bones. His injuries had recovered by eighty percent, and his spiritual power had recovered by fifty percent, but his body was still in a weak state.

He walked slowly out of the thatched cottage and saw the three women guarding the door.

Wei Yan smiled and nodded at him, while the other two women immediately trotted over, concernedly asking about his physical condition.

Inside the room, seeing this, the corners of Su Xuanheng's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Su Xuanxiao smiled somewhat reluctantly; he really couldn't handle the enthusiastic concern of the two girls, so he hurriedly changed the subject: "Has anyone broken in during this time?"

Wei Yan shook her head slightly and said: "It's strange to say, but not a single person has passed by this place during this time."

After she and Su Xuanheng had finished killing the demonic Cultivators, they had remained vigilant, worried that demonic Cultivators or other Cultivators would break in.

As it turned out, until the three of them had mostly recovered, this place remained calm and peaceful.

"This bamboo forest is like a maze, composed of countless bamboo and thatched cottages. A slight deviation will cause one to enter another space."

Cheng Ningxiang spoke up: "Those demonic Cultivators might have accidentally entered other spaces, or perhaps this space of ours is special; I discovered that there is more star energy here than in other places."

Wei Yan nodded slightly: "That is indeed the case. Also, I wonder if you have noticed the stars above; they are moving slowly at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye."

Everyone immediately looked up to observe.

Su Xuanxiao was the first to notice the change: "Do you think the direction these stars are moving could be the exit? Or the direction towards the core area?"

"An exit is reasonable, but if the direction it is guiding us to is the core area..." Zhao Wanyi's beautiful eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Could there be an Opportunity hidden in this bamboo forest?"

If there wasn't an Opportunity hidden here, why set up such a puzzle to guide everyone, and go to such great lengths to create an endless space?

Su Xuanheng walked out of the house and looked up at the starry sky. "If the star arrangement is also a form of guidance, we are actually already in the core area, but we just haven't found the so-called Opportunity."

Everyone was stunned. They carefully observed the star arrangement and vaguely seemed to see a moving map.

The brightest star among them represented their current location.

Zhao Wanyi said with a worried face: "Could the speculation about an Opportunity be wrong, and this is just a colosseum used to trap Cultivators and make everyone kill each other?"

Su Xuanheng shook his head helplessly: "If Father were here, he would definitely know the answer."

"Let's not think so much; let's go back and kill them now!"

Su Xuanxiao took out a Medicinal Pill and swallowed it, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Seeking revenge for every grievance and cutting weeds to eliminate the roots were the traditional virtues of the Family.

Having been chased and hunted by demonic Cultivators all the way and nearly losing his life, how could there be no reason to go back for revenge?

Su Xuanheng frowned: "Your body has not fully recovered; you shouldn't overexert yourself."

Su Xuanxiao grinned: "It's fine. I will only use the Puppet to attack from the side; Big Brother and Sister-in-law will be the main force."

He would not act tough at a time like this; after all, he was quite timid. If not for being forced into a corner, he preferred to hide in the rear and launch sneak attacks rather than charging into battle head-on.

Su Xuanheng was speechless upon hearing this. He exchanged a glance with Wei Yan and agreed to Fourth Younger Brother's proposal.

Not only did Su Xuanxiao want revenge, but Cheng Ningxiang was even more anxious than anyone else.

The group immediately entered the bamboo forest, with Su Xuanheng and Wei Yan taking the lead, Su Xuanxiao and the other two in the middle, and the Puppet responsible for bringing up the rear.

They followed the path Su Xuanxiao had taken back, and the bloodstains on the lawn and bamboo forest were clearly visible.

They didn't know how long they had walked when a rustling sound suddenly rang out in the bamboo forest. The group immediately became extremely alert.

They saw a disheveled figure running wildly through the bamboo forest, his face full of panic and fear, but Su Xuanxiao recognized the clothing on his body at a glance.

"It's a demonic Cultivator from the Shi Family!"

Hearing this, Su Xuanheng's eyes suddenly became as fierce as cold ice, and with a slight movement of his figure, he was about to draw his sword to kill.

Just in this flash of lightning and flint.

An ear-piercing sound of a sword resonated through the bamboo forest. A crimson rainbow broke through the air and arrived, the Sword Qi moving so fast that it left an afterimage.

Everyone felt a long rainbow sweep past their eyes, and by the time they reacted, that Sword Qi had already pierced through the demonic Cultivator's body!

A bloodline deep enough to see the bone could be seen, rapidly spreading downwards from the center of the demonic Cultivator's terrified face, passing over his nose bridge, chest, waist, and abdomen, all the way to his crotch.

Puchi!

Blood splattered!

The Shi Family demonic Cultivator was split in two!

The terrifying crimson rainbow sword showed no signs of slowing down; the sea of bamboo split open, creating a hundred-zhang path, with the cross-sections of the broken bamboo as smooth as mirrors.

Even after the Sword Qi disappeared, an invisible sharpness remained, making everyone feel their scalps tingle.

Su Xuanheng and Wei Yan's pupils shrank violently, their voices trembling with shock, and they exclaimed in horror in unison:

"Sword Qi transforming into a rainbow?!"
