51: Within this domain, all are my swords!

Gu Yuan's eyes were fixed on the Medicinal Pill in Xiao Ling'er's hand, and after a moment of hesitation, he swallowed it.

A warm sensation surged through his body.

As time passed, Gu Yuan recovered some strength.

Although the fractures in his hands and feet had not fully healed, with the help of the Medicinal Pill, he could barely walk and crawl.

"Tonight, we will make a fire here, eat, and rest. If you are afraid of us, hide far away. We will leave tomorrow, and it will be as if we never saw you."

"If you trust us, you can also come over and eat a little. If you have a safe place to go, we can even escort you back tomorrow."

Xiao Ling'er had already gotten up and continued to gather dead branches and rotten leaves.

The sky had completely darkened.

The tall cliff blocked most of the light, and the area beneath the cliff where they rested was plunged into gloom. If they didn't make a fire soon, they might find themselves in pitch-black darkness.

Gu Yuan huddled under a tree trunk next to a pile of rotten leaves.

He crossed his arms, his eyes vigilant.

He said nothing more... That night.

Xiao Ling'er took the first half of the night watch.

Chu Wuchen swallowed a Soul Condensing Pill, Cultivating and resting at the same time.

Xiao Ling'er, meanwhile, constantly practiced Sword Moves in her mind.

Sometimes, when inspiration struck, she would even perform one or two on the spot, continuously refining the details.

Half the long night passed, and Chu Wuchen awoke from his Cultivation, walking over to Xiao Ling'er's side.

"Senior Sister, I feel something is not right."

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Ling'er also became vigilant.

Chu Wuchen's Divine Soul strength was higher than hers, and he could sometimes detect details that ordinary people would miss.

"Compared to the past six days, today is much quieter, and the surrounding Qi fluctuations are also different."

"Qi is like the wind, unseen and intangible, but Qi also has a direction of flow. Today's flow is much more chaotic."

Chu Wuchen's words made Xiao Ling'er's body tense.

There were people around, an ambush!

Bang!

After several dull thuds, ten dark figures suddenly appeared in the forest.

The dark figures were extremely difficult to discern in the night, moving as swiftly as ghosts, approaching the two in the blink of an eye.

But as they neared Xiao Ling'er, the blades in their hands twisted.

The blades pointed directly at the Bear-Human's throat!

It turned out they were after Gu Yuan.

To save? Or not to save?

They were mere acquaintances, with no ties, so there was no need to put themselves in danger for this Bear-Human Race child.

However, the situation at hand clearly left no time for them to make a full decision.

Their instincts provided them with the answer.

Chu Wuchen was the fastest. His Divine Soul power manipulated the fire crystal stone longsword, blocking the path of four black-clad figures almost instantly.

Xiao Ling'er, on the other hand, rapidly approached, taking Gu Yuan as her center, and performed Sword Moves to protect him meticulously.

During the exchange, Xiao Ling'er also sensed the Cultivation of these ten individuals.

Origin Opening Realm.

All ten were in the Origin Opening Realm, and all were at the Seventh Heaven of the Origin Opening Realm or above, with the strongest even at the Ninth Heaven of the Origin Opening Realm.

Moreover, these ten were not ordinary Cultivators, but rigorously trained assassins. In terms of assassination methods, they were even stronger than average Origin Opening Realm Cultivators.

As Sword Moves clashed, a clanging sound echoed, and the ten figures quickly retreated after a single strike.

"The Seventh Prince actually has experts protecting him?"

"Impossible, intelligence shows he was exiled here and should be on his last breath, barely alive."

"Silence! These two Cultivators are very weak, just kill them!"

The hushed exchange of the ten assassins could not escape Xiao Ling'er and Chu Wuchen's ears.

In the eyes of their attackers, Xiao Ling'er was merely a woman who had just entered the Origin Opening Realm, and Chu Wuchen was even missing an arm, a cripple!

They posed no threat whatsoever.

"Junior Brother, protect little Gu Yuan. I'll take care of these ten."

Chu Wuchen nodded, not objecting in the slightest.

After a week together, he understood his Senior Sister too well.

Her Ice Sword Intent grew stronger with stronger opponents; at least within the Origin Opening Realm, there was no enemy who could defeat her.

"Little Human girl, this is an internal matter of our Yao Race. I advise you to leave quickly!"

"We have no intention of clashing with the Human Race. If you don't leave, we will have no choice but to capture you! When you become a slave in the Yao Race, you will suffer daily beatings, without food, drink, or sleep, until you die!"

The leader of the black-clad figures boldly removed his mask, revealing a wolf-human face.

He even made a fierce, fanged expression.

Xiao Ling'er, however, shook her head.

"If powerful enemies surrounded me today, I wouldn't try to show off, but you are too weak!"

"A few ants disturbing my Cultivation, what's wrong with me casually killing them?"

The black-clad wolf-human's face darkened, his gaze gradually turning vicious.

The armless Cultivator was a useless person (useless person), and the Bear-Human Race's Seventh Prince was now crippled in all four limbs and couldn't escape.

The only one with a slight threat was this female Cultivator.

A female Cultivator who was only at the Third Heaven of the Origin Opening Realm!

Any one of their ten brothers was enough to overpower and kill her!

Not only did they possess Cultivation at the Eighth and Ninth Heavens of the Origin Opening Realm, but they had also been performing various combat and assassination missions for years, making them a renowned assassin organization of the Yao Race.

A mere Human Race girl in the Origin Opening Realm dared to call them ants?

"Sharp-tongued little girl, brothers, let's go!"

Just as the ten burst forth to attack.

Xiao Ling'er suddenly stopped, standing still in place.

She froze on the spot.

Ten assassins in the Late Stage of the Origin Opening Realm, each striking viciously, every move deadly, attacking simultaneously—even she would find it hard to escape unscathed.

She needed to become stronger.

Now, immediately, become stronger!

Revered Master was right; the more life-and-death the crisis, the more it could stimulate one's physical potential.

At this moment, Xiao Ling'er only felt a Sword hum echo in her ears, and the entire world became incredibly quiet.

A sudden realization struck her!

Revered Master, why have you never bestowed a Sword upon me?

Junior Brother, who entered the sect later than me, Revered Master bestowed upon him two fire crystal stone longswords.

Revered Master's Cold Iron Sword was clearly very suitable for me, why didn't he bestow it upon me?

Was Revered Master biased?

No!

"So that's it, that's how it is."

"I don't need a Sword."

"Within my Domain! All are my Swords!"

The Qi flowing in the air suddenly exploded, and the ice elements contained within it instantly transformed into ice crystal longswords, appearing directly in front of the ten figures' throats!

The scene was as if the ten figures had directly run into them themselves.

The Sword tips pierced into their throats, and the ice crystal longswords, after passing through their throats, shot skyward, then plunged back down!

With a crash!

They completely pinned their heads to the ground.

One Sword strike, ten annihilated!

Silence returned to the scene, with only Xiao Ling'er breathing slightly, a hint of fragrant sweat even appearing on her forehead.

She had done it!

With a Cultivation at the Third Heaven of the Origin Opening Realm, she had slain ten Origin Opening Realm deathsworn assassins with a single Sword strike.

Revered Master, does this Sword strike of Ling'er's possess one or two tenths of your demeanor?
