The man smiled savagely, taking out much of the powder within the medicine bottle. His palm flipped, sending a dense wave of Essence Qi out which covered the woman in white. A sweet fragrance instantly swept into her nose.
"c.r.a.p!" She tried to hold her breath, but it was useless. As the Essence Qi swept towards her, the young woman’s body trembled and was sent flying back like a broken kite. She breathed in a mouthful of the powder.
"Haha, now that you’ve taken your elder’s poison, I’ll see how long you can resist for." The man grinned as he walked forwards, his eyes filled with a lewd smile, looking at the woman.
"This girl’s figure is superb!" As he looked at the woman’s flawless body, the man gave a savage smile.
"This girl’s probably even prettier than w.a.n.g Hua Hua next door."
"Are you stupid? You’re comparing a G.o.ddess like this, who’s unstained by the world, to someone like w.a.n.g Hua Hua?"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong," the adventurers all started to discuss together.
"Look, her body has perfect proportions."
"If I could kiss her once, I’d be able to die happy."
"Who would have thought that we would meet such a beautiful girl here," the others also said.
A woman like this was rarely seen, and they were already content with being able to look at her. From the way they behaved, it seemed like there were some rules that they had, and that it wasn’t the first time they had done something like this. As such, they only stood by and watched.
Bang!
The woman in white crashed to the ground. The sounds of discussion sounded like demon’s growls to her. She felt as if there were many demonic claws coming towards her, and her heart sank in despair again.
Suddenly, the despair disappeared as her mind started to go hazy.
"It’s the evil poison." The woman in white frowned, sensing that her breathing had changed.
"Looks like this really is an amazing poison." When he saw the young woman’s eyes become unfocused, the leader smirked and he walked over. At the same time, he started to look the woman up and down with amus.e.m.e.nt.
"D-Don’t come over." The woman in white tried to move back, and although her eyes had become hazy, she still tried to run.
"Haha, beauty, don’t worry. You’ve taken my Pleasure Powder, and without my help, you’ll burn in your desire until you die. Let big brother help you, haha. Don’t resist; I’ll take you back and make you my twelfth concubine."
The woman in white’s eyes became hazy, and she could only see blurry figures. Her body continuously swayed, and the man’s ugly face looked like a demon’s face to her. She wished she could rip apart his face and throw him down to h.e.l.l.
However, the woman in white’s heart was filled with terror.
"Scram!" Suddenly, a cold yell sounded out, sounding like explosive thunder. It instantly caused the hearts and minds of the adventurers to tremble.
"Who is it?!" Everyone looked around in shock.
In front of them, they saw a youth charging towards them like an infuriated lion.
"A youth?" All of the adventurers let out a sigh of relief.
"It’s him!" When she heard this familiar voice, the woman in white’s eyebrows unfurrowed and she relaxed. As long as this youth came back, everything would be fine.
Xiao Yun soon arrived near the woman in white.
"Who are you?" The expression of the leader darkened.
"The person who’s going to kill you!" Xiao Yun’s expression was icy, and his heart tightened when he looked at the young woman on the ground. He felt a strange sense of heartache, as if someone had stabbed him with a knife. He had only left for half a day, and this young woman had nearly been hurt again.
A wave of killing intent arose from the youth, causing the atmosphere around them to congeal. The eyes of the adventurers were filled with fright, and they felt as if they couldn’t breathe.
The leader was also shocked, and he felt a sense of danger. The enemy was evidently just a youth, and yet he felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
Only the woman in white felt a warmth within her heart, because this youth had become so enraged on behalf of her.
After coldly speaking, Xiao Yun did not waste any words. He sent out his spirit energy, stabbing into the leader’s mind. His spirit energy was incredibly powerful, and instantly scattered his consciousness. Xiao Yun’s killing intent caused even their spirits to tremble.
Swis.h.!.+
Xiao Yun drew his sword, and in a flash, the man had
After dealing with this man, Xiao Yun did not even spare him a second look as he walked forwards and looked at the other adventurers. His eyes were murderous, causing their hearts to s.h.i.+ver. Some of the Body Tempering realm cultivators were visibly trembling.
"Kill!" Xiao Yun roared as his boundless spirit energy rushed out like floodwaters.
This time, he had completely released his spirit energy, which gave off a terrifying pressure. It was unstoppable, scattering the consciousness of all of the adventurers. Before they could even scream, Xiao Yun’s sword shot out. Whenever the sword light flashed, a life would be taken.
The sunset was beautiful, but it was completely ignored by the crazed youth, whose sword sent blood flying into the air with each attack.
The young woman had experienced something similar to this just 2 days ago, and had nearly committed suicide. Seeing her go through this again infuriated Xiao Yun. This young woman was as beautiful as a G.o.ddess, and seemed inviolable – how could he allow her to be treated like this?
This was destined to be an unforgettable scene.
Although her eyes were hazy, the woman in white could still clearly see the youth going crazy for her. His fair hair danced in the wind as he slayed his enemies with his sword. This scene, unknowingly, was carved into her mind.
After a while, the sword light stopped flas.h.i.+ng. By now, the woods were dyed red with blood, and all of the adventurers were dead.
Now, Xiao Yun’s spirit energy was strong enough to stop even cultivators at the late stage of the Innate realm in their tracks.
Huff…
Looking at the fallen adventurers, Xiao Yun deeply breathed in and out, the anger within him subsiding.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Yun turned and walked over to the woman in white. When he saw how hazy and unfocused her eyes looked, he couldn’t help but frown and feel a pain within his heart.
"I’ve been poisoned." Her eyelashes fluttered as she did her best to keep her eyes open to look at the youth. Her voice was quite weak, and her mind felt quite muddy, while her entire body felt like it was burning. As her body continued to burn up, her mind became even more hazy.
"You’ve been poisoned?" Xiao Yun frowned then continued, "Don’t worry, I’ll neutralise it for you."
After saying this, he didn’t hesitate as he picked up the young woman and ran back into the cave.
"Why is your body so hot? And what’s wrong with your breathing? What sort of poison would take effect so quickly?" After getting back to the cave, Xiao Yun put down the young woman as he frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
However, the woman in white’s mind was too hazy, and she was unable to respond to Xiao Yun.
"Looks like I’ll have to extract the poison for her." Xiao Yun’s eyes became serious as he sent out his Martial Spirit. A jade-green light flashed as a jade-green branch extended out from his palm. When the branch appeared, he grabbed onto the young woman’s palm, and started to extract the poison for her.
As the Martial Spirit’s jade-green light shone, some vital essence pa.s.sed through the young woman’s palm into her body. After a few moments, her eyelids twitched, and as the evil poison was extracted, her eyes regained some clarity.
"Did you save me?" The woman in white did her best to stay awake as she asked the youth.
Xiao Yun nodded. "Try to gather the poison into your palm so I can extract it."
"So you can extract it?" The woman in white frowned, and quickly realised that the youth was already extracting the poison for her.
When she saw this, she felt incredibly touched. They had merely met by chance, and yet this youth was risking his own life to extract the poison. The way he had treated her was completely different to how those men had. She replied, "Won’t you be poisoned?"
The young woman felt quite worried.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be able to neutralise it myself," Xiao Yun replied.
The woman in white nodded and calmed herself down, trying to force the poison towards her palm. The Martial Spirit gave off runes of light as it continuously absorbed the poison. However, even so, the woman still did not recover for a while, because the poison had spread throughout her entire body.
She had taken in too much of that evil poison, and it had fully taken effect, which made it difficult for Xiao Yun’s Martial Spirit to absorb it.
"Looks like I’ll have to go all out," Xiao Yun thought to himself as he did his best to absorb the poison.
After a while, Xiao Yun felt his mind become hazy, and his Martial Spirit also slowed down. The Martial Spirit could absorb poison, but it took time. After rapidly absorbing poison from the young woman, he had exceeded its limits. However, if he didn’t go all out, he would not be able to save the young woman.
The young woman’s mind was already hazy, and she was giving off soft moans, as if she was in pain.
He had to give it his all!
Xiao Yun didn’t hold back at all as he did his best to save this young woman. However, after a while, his mind also became muddled. The Martial Spirit gave a buzz as its runes of light flashed and retreated into Xiao Yun’s sea of consciousness.
"G.o.dd.a.m.n, you’ve gone on strike?" Xiao Yun roared. He never thought that his Martial Spirit would be so cowardly.
The Martial Spirit gave a buzz, as if it was saying that even if it continued, it would be useless.
"Oi, lil Yun, what are you yelling about?" the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s voice suddenly sounded out.
"None of your business," Xiao Yun calmly replied.
"Looks like you’re in some trouble," the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow lazily replied.
These days, it had been sealed away in the Heaven-Devouring Tower, and it was using the medicine Xiao Yun gave it to recover its spirit vital essence.
"Eh, isn’t this the little tramp who attacked me?" The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s eyes lit up as it laughed, "Lil Yun, you’re quite a good person; you knew big bro wanted to take revenge on this little tramp so you caught her for me. Very good!"
"Don’t give me that c.r.a.p," Xiao Yun retorted in frustration as he started to concentrate to use the Martial Spirit to absorb the poison.
"Hmm, she seems to be poisoned." The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow sent out its spiritual sense, and detected that there was something wrong with the young woman. "Did you poison her? No, wait, you also seem poisoned. What’s going on?" The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow felt that something was off.
"Don’t run your mouth; it was I who saved her." Xiao Yun’s tone became anxious as he said, "I’m trying to extract the poison for her."
"You saved her?" The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow looked quite displeased, but Xiao Yun paid it no mind.
This was because Xiao Yun felt as if there were flames burning within his body, to the point that his mind became hazy. If it wasn’t because his spirit energy was incredibly strong, he would have completely lost control of his mind.
