416: Liu Yuyan's Disaster

“Oh, that’s strange, how does this river water have such dense spiritual energy?” Liu Yuyan exclaimed excitedly.

It had been a long time since she had seen a river with such a high concentration of spiritual energy.

Chen Tianming glanced at it; the river didn't seem to have anything special about it.

“What’s so special about this?” Chen Tianfan asked in confusion.

Liu Yuyan said, “The color of this river water is a bit special.”

“Special color? What do you mean?” Chen Tianfan asked.

Liu Yuyan said, “The river water appears dark green, as if it’s very pure.”

“Really? Why don’t I feel it?” Chen Tianfan frowned and said.

“It’s not that you don’t feel it, it’s that you don’t understand,” Liu Yuyan explained.

“This color represents rich spiritual energy; if absorbed, it can increase martial arts.”

“So that’s how it is.” Chen Tianming suddenly understood.

Liu Yuyan said, “If you don’t mind, you can absorb this river water; you should see some improvement.”

Chen Tianming fell silent at these words; after all, if this thing was really that good, he didn't believe the other party would be so selfless.

To put it bluntly, the hidden dangers here were not few; his probing gaze fell on Zhou Xun, who merely nodded imperceptibly.

However, Zhou Xun's expression was solemn, clearly indicating that the things in this place still needed to be handled carefully.

At this moment, Liu Yuyan asked, “Hey, why aren’t you speaking?”

Chen Tianming said, “I don’t want to waste spiritual energy absorbing that kind of spiritual energy.”

“That’s because you don’t understand its value. Absorbing this spiritual energy now is much faster than what I used to absorb,” Liu Yuyan said, shaking her head.

“Are you still going to refuse?”

Chen Tianming looked at the river and said, “If you want me to absorb it, then I’ll give it a try.”

With that, Chen Tianming sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.

When he finished absorbing a pool of spiritual energy, he stood up, sprinted forward, and then sat down to cultivate again.

After several such repetitions, the color of the river water became increasingly brighter.

Liu Yuyan asked, “How do you feel now?”

Chen Tianfan smiled and said, “I feel great. I feel that the true essence within my body has become abundant, and it seems I can even break through.”

“Break through?” Liu Yuyan was stunned.

Chen Tianming nodded, “Yes, if I’m not mistaken, this kind of river water should have the miraculous effect of increasing martial arts.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s wonderful.” Liu Yuyan spoke with a forced smile, her eyes somewhat dark and unclear.

However, when Liu Yuyan saw that Chen Tianming was already on the verge of breaking through, she quickly pulled him back.

“Slow down, you’re not suitable to continue breaking through right now, or you’ll easily suffer a qi deviation.”

“No, I want to break through as soon as possible,” Chen Tianfan insisted.

“Sigh, I really can’t do anything with you.” Liu Yuyan sighed lightly.

“Then you rest first, I’ll go look for other exits.”

Chen Tianming said, “I’m not at ease if you go alone.”

Liu Yuyan smiled, “Don’t worry, they won’t be able to find us for a while.”

“Alright then, be careful yourself. Don’t let our cooperation end before it even begins, and you, my partner, disappear!” Chen Tianming said.

“Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly,” Liu Yuyan said solemnly.

After Chen Tianming left, Liu Yuyan immediately used her Soul Blade to find a quiet place nearby, then took out a pill from her spatial bag and consumed it.

The medicinal properties of this pill were extremely potent, capable of increasing her martial arts by about twofold.

He looked at the river water with a gloomy expression, unable to understand how it could have the effect of increasing martial arts! Normally, this would be a good choice, but the current situation was a bit grim.

Because he discovered that those people had already followed their tracks.

“Chen Tianming, we can only wait for your news now,” Liu Yuyan thought to herself.

“Swoosh.”

Liu Yuyan flew towards that direction.

Liu Yuyan thoroughly checked every place she flew over, and only after confirming there were no other people did she continue forward.

When Liu Yuyan arrived in another forest, a sound came from there.

“Boss, I just discovered two martial artists ran away,” a Black-Clothed Man said, his face masked.

The man referred to as Boss said, “It doesn’t matter, we’ll run into them sooner or later anyway. Now, let’s go capture the others.”

The Black-Clothed Man said, “Yes.”

After those people had gone far, Liu Yuyan’s expression changed; she felt someone was watching her.

She secretly gritted her teeth and then continued to rush forward.

However, those people were not to be trifled with; they immediately sensed the movement, closely followed Liu Yuyan, and even used hidden weapons to attack her.

“Hmph, you still dare to ambush me? Take this!”

Liu Yuyan let out a cold shout, and a cold gleam shot out from her palm.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

Those people screamed repeatedly, then fell to the ground, losing their vital signs.

Liu Yuyan ignored the corpses and continued to run forward.

Thus, those people were killed by Liu Yuyan batch after batch; they had already figured out Liu Yuyan’s movements.

As long as they followed Liu Yuyan, they would definitely be able to kill her.

It was a pity that these people did not know Liu Yuyan’s formidable strength, and still did not follow, instead leading others to their deaths.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

Two more figures fell to the ground; they were as dead as could be.

Liu Yuyan continued to sprint forward, but her speed was not as fast as before, due to the unexpected injury.

But still, no one could catch up to her.

“Pitter-patter, pitter-patter.”

Liu Yuyan stepped on the muddy ground, and after a while, she stopped.

“Phew, finally stopped.”

Liu Yuyan let out a sigh of relief.

She had been exhausted just now and needed a good rest.

She closed her eyes and began to meditate and cultivate.

Suddenly, Liu Yuyan opened her eyes, and a sharp glint shot out from them.

Because Liu Yuyan felt someone approaching her, her vigilance was extremely high.

However, she did not want to engage in battle with the other party right now, so she prepared to continue fleeing.

“Boom.”

A powerful pressure came from the side, startling Liu Yuyan so much that she almost fell to the ground.

Liu Yuyan looked up and found that her pursuers had already appeared in front of her, surrounding her.

“Hmph, do you think you can stop me?” Liu Yuyan said coldly.

One of them scoffed and laughed, “Hehehe, you’re truly naive. We came here this time to kill you.”

“Kill me?” Liu Yuyan sneered, “Are you even worthy?”

“Whether we are worthy or not is none of your concern; we just need to carry out our mission.” With that, a middle-aged man pulled out a flying sword and thrust it towards Liu Yuyan.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuyan also drew her dagger to meet the attack. She did not want to delay, as any delay would surely allow the other party to discover clues, which would be disastrous.
