Chapter 240: A Powerful Enemy
Su Yan was very puzzled. Why did he always run into trouble? Was it so hard to have a peaceful life? He hadn’t been causing trouble, had he?
The reason for this sigh of emotion was all because of what was happening before him.
He and Xiao Wu had wanted to climb the mountain with their own two feet, like mortals, and have a good time. But when they had climbed halfway up the mountain, dark clouds suddenly covered the sun. At first, he had thought it was the special weather here. But when that dangerous aura came over, Su Yan immediately became alert.
“It’s starting again.”
He had just driven away the enemy last night, and today they were back for him. Was this a case of “hit the young, and the old comes”?
“Hurry up and hide behind me.”
Xiao Wu looked at the two people in the sky, her expression very grave. The woman in red who had run away last night was nothing. But the person beside her was too scary. The other party’s strength was several times her own, and the vague sense of danger that was spreading made his heart pound.
“Senior Sister?”
Su Yan was a little surprised. But when he turned his head and saw her expression, his heart instantly became tense.
He had never seen Xiao Wu look so serious before. The enemy must be very strong. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have this expression.
“Rou Rou, that sword strike of yours last night really hurt me. It almost made me spit out blood. Now that the adult is here, let’s see if you can still be so capable.”
The woman in red let out a strange laugh, looking like a villain who had gotten his way.
Su Yan cursed “dog leg” in his heart. Although he knew that the situation was critical now and it was not the time to complain, he really couldn’t hold it in.
“Why are you making that strange sound?”
“Hehehe, this sound is the sound from before?”
Su Yan was very puzzled. From her malicious personality, the woman in red was also a beauty who could score an eighty. How could she make such a strange sound? It was simply too scary. Was this a common sign of villains?
“You’re right.”
The woman in red had drawn Su Yan’s hatred. Of course, Xiao Wu would not allow it and forced her back.
However, although she had gained the upper hand with one sword strike, she did not press her advantage. Instead, she protected Su Yan behind her, her eyes fixed on the woman in the air.
“It really is you!”
The woman in purple had not quite believed the woman in red’s words. Su Yan was a disciple of the Transcendent Immortal Sect. This place was very far from the Transcendent Immortal Sect. How could he have come here?
But when she saw Su Yan, she used her magic eye to look and indeed saw a layer of illusion. When she saw through the illusion, Su Yan’s true appearance was exposed before her eyes, which made her feel very excited.
“To find something after looking for it high and low, only to find it by chance.”
As she spoke, the woman in purple reached out her hand to Su Yan.
Su Yan only felt the surrounding air suddenly solidify, and his whole person seemed to be grabbed by a pair of large hands, floating in the air.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu’s expression changed. She swung her sword, and a terrifying sword qi appeared, slashing towards the woman in purple.
The woman in purple did not care at all. After all, in her view, she was a realm higher than Xiao Wu. It was impossible for her to pose a threat to her. But when the sword qi was upon her, a strong ripple appeared on her spiritual energy shield. But the consumption of her spiritual energy made her face show a surprised expression.
“This strike of yours is not bad.”
Although it couldn’t hurt her, it was because she was too strong. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to do this.
In the woman in purple’s senses, Xiao Wu’s strike already had thirty percent of her power.
Seeing her attack being blocked so casually, Xiao Wu’s expression became unpleasant. The woman in red’s realm was similar to hers. A person she called “adult” must have the strength to crush her.
Although she had already overestimated her as much as possible, she had not expected her to be such an expert.
“Are you a Soul Division cultivator?”
Xiao Wu’s expression was unpleasant. Even if she had many magic treasures and secret techniques, she was still a little unsure when facing a head-on confrontation with someone a realm higher.
One had to know, the further one went in cultivation, the greater the gap between each realm. She could be on par with a Soul Formation cultivator at the Nascent Soul realm, but she could definitely not be comparable to a Soul Division expert at the Soul Formation realm.
“At least you have some eyesight. What, do you want to surrender obediently? That way, I’ll save myself the trouble of doing it myself.”
The woman in purple sneered. To have such combat power at this realm, she must be a true disciple of the Transcendent Immortal Sect. She wouldn’t dare to offend her easily.
But things were different now. As long as she got Su Yan and used him to break through to the Body Integration realm, then so what if it was the Transcendent Immortal Sect? Could she still run away?
If Su Yan’s physique was real, then perhaps she could not only break through to the Body Integration realm but also even the Spirit Transformation stage. Where would she need to be so timid?
But before that, the news could not be leaked. If the Transcendent Immortal Sect came to find trouble with her in advance, she would definitely not be able to hold on. So it was impossible to let her leave now.
Xiao Wu also realized this, and her expression darkened. She hadn’t expected to encounter such a dangerous enemy. They were in danger today.
Su Yan also felt that something was wrong, and his heart was very worried.
But there was no way to worry. The woman in purple, to prevent any unforeseen problems, chose to make a move first.
Bolts of lightning descended from the sky. Xiao Wu held her longsword and actively blocked with her sword light.
However, even if her realm was not enough, one could see that she was struggling. The woman in purple’s attack was just a casual move, but Xiao Wu was already fighting with all her might. The situation was very critical.
Seeing this, Su Yan was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do. With his early Nascent Soul stage strength, it was useless for him to even interfere.
Su Yan was anxious, but the woman in purple was not. While attacking Xiao Wu, she suddenly had the energy to deal with someone else.
Su Yan only felt the air solidify again. Thinking of the situation just now, his heart trembled, and he quickly left the spot.
“Your senses are quite sharp. Your strength is not bad either.”
Her casual grab had not succeeded. The woman in purple was not annoyed but was even a little happy.
After all, for the dual cultivation to have a good effect, it was not enough for the physique to be special. The realm itself also had to be good. The stronger she was, the more benefits she would get from dual-cultivating with him. He couldn’t be more excited about his cultivation.
The woman in purple’s eyes burned as she stared at Su Yan. That gaze made him feel cold all over, as if he were not wearing any clothes.
Su Yan’s situation was naturally seen by Xiao Wu. She was so angry she almost spat out blood. In front of her, her gaze on him was undisguised. This was completely disregarding him!
At this thought, Xiao Wu was enraged. She knew that she couldn’t deal with the enemy with ordinary means, but she was not completely helpless.
“Die!”
All the spiritual energy in Xiao Wu’s body was infused into her sword, and then she threw it out.
A sword light that blotted out the sky appeared. Even the woman in purple was taken aback.
“Are you kidding me! To actually be able to unleash this kind of power!”
Just a mere Soul Formation realm, yet the power she had unleashed surprised her. But this kind of attack was just ordinary to her.
The woman in purple stretched out her hand and easily blocked this attack. Seeing this, Xiao Wu was not disappointed at all. She also knew that it was impossible to defeat her with this kind of attack. Her purpose was just to get Su Yan out of trouble and to come to his side.
“I’m no match for her. I can only run now. Let’s go quickly!”
Xiao Wu’s reason still remained. She knew that if she continued to fight, she would definitely lose. She wanted to escape from here with Su Yan.
“You want to leave? Have you asked me?”
Seeing that the flower of her breakthrough was about to disappear, the woman in purple was immediately annoyed. She waved her hand, and countless bolts of lightning fell, blocking Xiao Wu’s path.
Seeing that the path of departure was covered by lightning, not only did Xiao Wu not stop, but she also accelerated her flight speed.
“You damn person! Aren’t you afraid of death? Stop for me!”
Seeing this, the woman in purple was immediately shocked. She hadn’t expected Xiao Wu to forcefully charge into the lightning. She knew her own attack. Even a Soul Formation expert would be seriously injured if hit, and would die if hit a few more times.
It didn’t matter if she died. If the person who died was him, then she would have suffered a great loss.
However, her worries obviously would not come true. Xiao Wu loved Su Yan deeply. She would rather be injured herself than let him be hurt in the slightest.
So before entering the lightning, Xiao Wu had used her spiritual energy and body to protect Su Yan’s body.
“Rumble!”
The sound of thunder was constant, but not a single bolt of lightning hit Su Yan. However, although Su Yan was safe and sound, Xiao Wu was in a miserable state. Her body was forcefully withstanding the attack. Even with a magic treasure to protect her, she was still struck until she was in a state of turmoil. Who knows how many bones were broken, and blood was constantly flowing from her mouth.
“Senior Sister!”
Seeing Xiao Wu injured, Su Yan’s heart immediately panicked. He wanted to treat Xiao Wu, but now was obviously not the time.
“Stop right there!”
The woman in purple came to her senses at this moment and chased after them relentlessly. Xiao Wu held Su Yan and flew all the way. But because of the realm gap, and also because she was carrying someone else, she was about to be caught up with bit by bit. And at this very moment…
“There’s no other way.”
A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Wu’s eyes. If this continued, she would definitely be caught up with by the enemy. Since that was the case, there was only one way to get out of this.
“Die!”
Xiao Wu shouted, releasing countless magic treasures from her storage bag. Then, with a thought, the countless magic treasures all self-destructed, blasting the sky into a bloody red.
“You damn person!”
The woman in purple was injured by the sudden attack and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Logically, a Soul Formation expert was of course no match for a Soul Division cultivator. But for a pile of magic treasures to self-destruct… this power was no joke.
However, ordinary magic treasures, no matter how many there were, could not possibly harm a cultivator of this level. The magic treasures Xiao Wu had just taken out were all very high-grade, and there was even a life-bound treasure that was connected to her heart. Only then could she temporarily force back the enemy and even injure her.
However, as a treasure connected to her mind, when the magic treasure self-destructed and disappeared, Xiao Wu also suffered a severe backlash. This could be seen from her swaying light.
