95: Chapter 95 This isn't a battle, it's a death trap!
Wang Yuyan suddenly looked up, seeing that face filled with rage and greed rapidly approaching, and her heart tightened involuntarily.
Subconsciously, she unslung the sword box from her back and slapped her palm against it.
The crisp sound of metal striking metal rang out.
In an instant, thirteen Flying Swords of various shapes and colors shot out like meteors.
Unlike Mu Liangyue, who had held back, Wang Yuyan was now fully in a desperate, do-or-die stance.
Although her Moves were slightly chaotic due to her panic, with her current Cultivation, she was a solid top-four expert in the entire martial arts hall, second only to Su Rui, Li Hanyi, and Sikong Qianluo.
With the thirteen Flying Swords unleashed simultaneously, the Abbess of the Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery was still in mid-air, her face etched with shock and disbelief.
In the blink of an eye, two or thirty columns of blood erupted from her body, and she crashed to the ground like a broken sack, falling silent forever.
"..."
Mu Liangyue felt a slight tremor in her heart as she watched.
This was too tragic.
She hadn't expected her Junior Sister, who looked so quiet and gentle, to strike with such ferocity.
Wang Yuyan herself was stunned. The Flying Swords lost control and fell from the air one after another, creating a series of clanging sounds that awakened the surviving Disciples of the Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery.
They were already struggling to hold on, and now that even their Abbess was dead, what was there left to fight for?
This isn't a battle; it's clearly a death wish!
The survivors instantly understood one thing: they turned and fled in every direction.
Mu Liangyue used her Flying Swords to hunt down a few more, but she didn't pursue them too far.
After all, they were just insignificant small fries, and she didn't intend to wipe them all out.
She still wanted to leave a good impression on her teacher.
After retrieving the Flying Swords, she walked to Wang Yuyan's side, gently hugged her, and comforted her in a low voice.
Wang Yuyan was pale; it was clearly her first time killing someone with her own hands, and she couldn't calm down for a moment.
Under Mu Liangyue's consolation, Wang Yuyan finally calmed down a little.
She raised her hand to beckon, and the thirteen Flying Swords scattered on the ground flew back into the peerless sword casket.
Mu Liangyue took Wang Yuyan by the hand, bypassed the bloody, mangled corpse, and came before Shi Feixuan.
"Are you alright?" She supported Shi Feixuan, who was covered in wounds and wearing tattered clothes.
Compared to the girl in white who had fluttered by with an ethereal aura before, she was now like a completely different person.
"Thank you... the two of you..." Shi Feixuan spoke with difficulty; those four short words already left her panting repeatedly.
"If our teacher hadn't detected the hidden operatives of your Quiet Temple of Compassion in advance, you would probably have been done for this time," Mu Liangyue said with a sigh.
If they hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Hearing that it was Su Rui who sent them, Shi Feixuan's eyes flickered slightly.
"May I... ask to be taken back to the martial arts hall?" she asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Mu Liangyue's gaze instantly became a bit more alert.
"This woman doesn't have any ideas about our teacher, does she?"
"Okay, I'll take you back!" Wang Yuyan, not thinking so much, immediately agreed.
Mu Liangyue was stunned for a moment, but she did not object.
She simply staunched the bleeding for Shi Feixuan, and the three of them returned to the martial arts hall together.
...
In the distance, two figures stood quietly, watching Mu Liangyue and Wang Yuyan support a woman who was clearly severely injured as they entered the martial arts hall.
"I've checked clearly. There are only a few women in the martial arts hall. The strongest might be Li Hanyi or Yin Luoxia, followed by Sikong Qianluo."
"What about the hall master? What is his strength?"
"Not sure, but I sensed him earlier; he's probably just in the Zizai Earth Realm."
Cannot Be Bound had quietly retreated after Li Changsheng appeared, fearing their identities would be exposed, and they had no idea what happened afterward.
At this moment, they were re-evaluating the strength of the martial arts hall.
"Zizai Earth Realm? Are you joking with me?"
"That's why I said I'm not sure. The strength he displayed might not be his true level; otherwise, how could he have been injured by the Sword Qi of Mo Qixuan?"
"Although Mo Qixuan is a latecomer, his skills are not weak!"
"Don't mention it. With you and me joining forces, who in the Holy Sect is a match for us, apart from the Sect Leader?"
The two of them talked back and forth...
"Shall we act tonight?"
"Alright, this time we must not only eradicate this martial arts hall obstacle but also deal with that woman, Yue Qing, as well as their Cultivation Technique.
It looks very exquisite; we cannot let it go."
"That goes without saying!"
In their view, to possess such formidable strength at the age of Li Hanyi and Sikong Qianluo, that Cultivation Technique must be a rare and profound study.
If they could master it, wouldn't their strength rise to a higher level?
Inside the martial arts hall, Su Rui looked at Shi Feixuan, who had been brought back by the two women.
She was covered in blood, her face deathly pale, and her breathing was so weak that it seemed like it could stop at any moment.
"Teacher, when we arrived, she was being besieged by a group of women in white," Mu Liangyue said, recounting what had happened.
When she spoke of how Wang Yuyan used her Flying Sword to pierce the leader of the opposing group with dozens of bloody holes in one strike, the others nearby cast strange glances in unison.
"I... I didn't mean to, she looked too scary!" Wang Yuyan was a bit flustered, waving her hands continuously, appearing at a loss.
"That's enough. Unless you retire completely from the Jianghu from now on, you will encounter such things sooner or later," Su Rui said in a calm tone, though he had already made plans in his heart.
He did not want his Disciple to be a vase that could only hide in a greenhouse.
No matter how strong the strength is, if the Heart-Nature is too weak, one can never shoulder heavy responsibilities and is instead easily schemed against by others.
One can be kind-hearted, but one should not be soft-handed.
This was his bottom line.
"Teacher, let's look at Shi Feixuan first; her condition is not very good," Sikong Qianluo stared at the weak Shi Feixuan and couldn't help but remind him.
Su Rui nodded, signaling Mu Liangyue and the other to support her to sit aside.
After a moment of thought, he waved his hand.
A small wooden box flew out from his room and landed in his palm.
Everyone's gaze tightened, especially AZhu, whose eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.
She had also almost lost her life that day, and it was by relying on the Medicinal Pill Su Rui took from this box that she saved her life.
Now that this box appeared again, it was clearly a life-saving item once more.
Su Rui pried open Shi Feixuan's mouth, fed her a purple, glistening Medicinal Pill, and then slowly injected a stream of Internal Energy into her body to help her absorb the medicinal power.
After only a few breaths, Shi Feixuan's complexion recovered a hint of ruddiness, and the wounds on her body began to heal rapidly.
Su Rui nodded slightly.
"Arrange a room for her and wait until she wakes up to talk," he said, turning and leaving before the words had finished falling.
He now had to receive the Cultivation Technique fed back after previously teaching Li Changsheng the Evergreen Art.
【Taught Disciple Li Changsheng the Evergreen Art, triggered a fifty-fold critical hit. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining "Talisman of Nine Surges of the Jiyin Epoch"】
Su Rui couldn't recall for a moment if he had heard of the name of this Cultivation Technique.
What he had taught Li Changsheng at the time was just a basic Cultivation Technique.
He had originally hoped to trigger a higher multiplier for the critical hit, but unfortunately, because Li Changsheng was older, the effect was discounted.
But even if it was only fifty times, this was not an average level.
Su Rui dared not absorb it rashly and planned to wait until he had dealt with the current affairs before receiving it.
As for those two outside the door, let the Disciples of the martial arts hall handle them.
It could be considered a training opportunity for them; if they really couldn't stop them, it wouldn't be too late for him to act himself.
Returning to his room, Su Rui began to formally absorb the "Talisman of Nine Surges of the Jiyin Epoch".
Unexpectedly, this was actually a Cultivation Technique with Artifact Refining as its core.
Although it could also improve one's Realm, it was not good at combat.
Its content mostly involved Artifact Refining techniques; it was actually the signature Cultivation Technique of the major immortal sect, Danxia Sect, rumored to have been passed down by the Supreme Lingbao Heavenly Lord.
As soon as he grasped its core content, the Qi within Su Rui's body surged violently, and there was even a faint momentum of a Breakthrough to the Carefree Heaven Realm.
But he immediately suppressed this impulse.
Being too flashy was not good; if he scared the enemies away, wouldn't that be troublesome?
The current Carefree Heaven Realm—Great Carefree Realm was already enough for him to display various methods.
And the potential of the "Talisman of Nine Surges of the Jiyin Epoch" was far more than this; it still needed time to be slowly excavated.
Including the abilities he had mastered before, they could also display greater power.
Especially in the Cultivation Technique learned this time, it contained the Hundred Refining Art, a secondary-level cultivation method.
It could significantly enhance the Divine Sense strength of the practitioner.
This cultivation method was originally intended to assist those practicing the "Talisman of Nine Surges of the Jiyin Epoch" in performing Artifact Refining.
Whether it was Alchemy or forging Magical Artifacts, both required powerful Divine Sense as support.
However, this was, after all, a method of cultivation.
The improvement of Divine Sense brought considerable gains for Su Rui.
Many Spells in the "Sacred Heart Art" needed to rely on Divine Sense to be cast,
such as the "Heavenly Palace Illusion" Move.
Before this, although Su Rui could also cast this illusion technique,
the illusion always seemed a bit uncoordinated and not realistic enough.
But now it was completely different.
He could use his own Divine Sense to build a vivid and lifelike illusion world,
and he himself was the controller of this illusion world.
Such methods had already transcended the mundane!
In addition, the Internal Energy of the Sea-Absorbing Sacred Heart Curse in his body, under the influence of the Shangqing True Method in the True Interpretation, gradually transformed into True Essence similar to what immortal cultivators used.
The power of the Martial Skills he drove was several times stronger than the original Internal Energy.
Su Rui slowly exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.
He was quite satisfied with this Breakthrough.
Although compared to some profound cultivation secret methods, the "Talisman of Nine Surges of the Jiyin Epoch" was not particularly outstanding,
but the threshold for those Cultivation Techniques was too high and might not be suitable for him now.
On the contrary, this cultivation method, which was smooth to practice and had few restrictions, was exactly what Su Rui wanted.
His Divine Sense surged, and he slightly released a trace of it,
and the situation inside and outside the entire martial arts hall became as clear as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Suddenly, his expression moved slightly, and his Divine Sense quietly extended outside the martial arts hall.
It turned out that at this moment, AZhu, ABi, and Wang Yuyan were carefully wiping the body of the unconscious Shi Feixuan.
Her skin like snow and captivating figure also caused a ripple in Su Rui's heart.
However, with the operation of the Shangqing True Method, his mood quickly returned to calm.
"It seems I really am a young and vigorous boy."
Su Rui shook his head gently.
