"Sigh, Liu Xianzi must have her own considerations."
Helplessly shook his head.
Because she could feel that the man’s power accumulating behind her was getting stronger and more terrifying, and what’s more, terrible thunder and lightning began to burst forth from her body, and the sound of crackling combined with the purple-blue electric light streaking across the sky, even though he hadn’t made a move yet, the terrifying burst of power could be felt.
Cen Yueyue recognized that she probably wouldn’t be able to handle it, unless she used a Magic Treasure, otherwise, even if she managed to take the hit, she would likely be injured.
Eighty li seems far, but in reality, it’s quite swift. On normal days, even at their limit speed, it would take half an hour to run that distance, but now Cen Zhuangzhuang was fleeing in their direction, and with both sides closing in at the same time, it’s as if they only needed to travel about half the distance.
Soon, Cen Yueyue, who was riding the flying sword, saw a light.
Raised her eyebrows. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by N0veI.Fiɾe.net
In the distance, a young man was awkwardly hiding and dodging through the woods.
After crashing through a tree, he rolled out seven or eight meters before he could stabilize his stance, he leapt forcefully into the air, the regions in the southern part of the Central Plains mostly consist of rolling hills and mountains with various elevations, and before he could land, he felt a piercing pain from behind.
Clamped his teeth tightly.
His back, under a hail of relentless attacks, was already a blurred mess of blood and flesh, he ran as fast as he could without any pause, knowing that any hesitation could mean death.
"This crazy woman really dispersed her cultivation in order to head for the Phoenix Heavenly Cave, what audacity, what a ruthless heart!"
Hit the nail on the head.
Despite appearing simple-minded most of the time, it was only because his cousin was around; once he had to rely on himself, the excellent bloodline of the young master of the Cen Family immediately came through.
His mind was racing, as he suspected, this woman didn’t actually want to spare his life, or was simply toying with her prey, but rather she was incapable of it, she had chosen the most ruthless method.
That was to dissipate her own power voluntarily, to seek an opportunity to enter the Grotto Heaven, such means were indeed vicious, it was evident how much the Evil Cultivator, who once slew hundreds of Purple Cloud Palace Disciples, craved to advance further.
Or rather, cultivators at her realm are all yearning to advance further, for this, she would stop at nothing.
The emergence of a Grotto Heaven, a rare event occurring once every few hundred or even thousand years, contained endless resources and opportunities, even the famous experts longed for it, but unfortunately, the majority were prevented from entering due to the restrictive barriers of most Grotto Heavens.
A Grotto Heaven is an ancient legacy that doesn’t so much create a world as it seals one within an extremely small, narrow space, its vast size known to none.
To accomplish this feat, regardless of the era or background, one had to be a personage of the highest caliber, such as Fangcun Mountain that previously trapped Jiang Feng and his companions being one such enigmatic Grotto Heaven, albeit a very small one, stretching merely a few li in length and width.
Yet even with such a small scale, once refined, it remained a High Grade Earth Rank top-tier Magic Treasure, and those sealed Grotto Heavens spanning for hundreds of li could only make one wonder about the might and power needed to create such miracles.
Even throughout the records of the Nine Provinces, the number of capable personages who could achieve such a feat were few and far between, like Taiyi True Man from ten thousand years ago, a practice now long lost to this era.
Violently breaching them was out of the question; even if the entire world’s multitude of experts were to converge, they could merely rip a tiny crack, just like Phoenix Heavenly Cave did. If not for that Human Emperor’s intervention, it would probably still remain shrouded from the sun to this day.
Yin Xue’s true cultivational realm has long been beyond verification. According to the records of the Cen Family Village, around two hundred years ago she had already stepped into the Body Integration Realm from Refining Void, a top-tier cultivation across the whole world.
Unfortunately, the day she entered the Body Integration Realm was also her last day.
Because that day, after integrating the flesh and blood of numerous Purple Cloud Palace Disciples, she officially entered the Body Integration Realm, but it was also the very next day when the news reached Liu Jian who swiftly came and minced her into paste on the spot.
Unleashed a surge of powerful Gang Qi to block all the blood arrows, but he was already running low on Spiritual Energy after a day-long battle, coupled with the serious injuries he sustained during the pursuit. Initially, those blood arrows took the shape of arrows, but as Cen Zhuangzhuang released his Gang Qi, they bizarrely transformed into hammer shapes.
And collided with him directly.
As he was running, he stumbled and fell face-first, despite the not too substantial gap in cultivation, the difference in realm and combat experience was irreconcilable.
With just one look, the flaws in his Protective Gang Qi were evident. Sharp objects would surely be obstructed, so he immediately transformed it into a blunt instrument, striking hard and making him lose his balance.
His body was covered with wounds, yet Cen Zhuangzhuang seemed to have learned from someone, as he cursed while running.
"You madwoman, neither human nor ghost!"
"Unable to beat Old Sword Immortal, minced into pulp by him, now you can only vent your frustrations on us youngsters!"
"You crazy woman, must’ve been because you were severely injured by Old Sword Immortal, with no hope for breakthroughs in this life, so now you’re thinking of seeking a breakthrough method in the Grotto Heaven, dream on!"
"Just rotten flesh of yours, even with an opportunity, you’ll still be chopped into dregs by Sword Immortal, if you dare, why don’t you seek revenge from Sword Immortal?"
To tell the truth, Cen Zhuangzhuang’s not quite standard Central Plains speech with its somewhat odd accent, made the mockery immediately max out.
