Carrying three jars of White Jade Honey, traveling alone, Lu Xuelian was still very cautious on her journey, carefully observing the movements in the surroundings along the way.
She had long heard that the notorious loose cultivators in the Shuangjiao Mountain area had been cleared out by Lu Changfeng, which is why she chose to travel to and from the Cyan Mountain Sect here.
When she came, she also passed through here, indeed encountering no interception from loose cultivators, it was very peaceful along the way.
Even so, Lu Xuelian was very cautious now.
While traveling, she always held her magical artifact, prepared to act immediately in case of a sudden situation, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
It was precisely at the instant when Chen Yuerong made her move that Lu Xuelian sensed something wrong.
She thought to herself, and without even looking back, she frantically activated her Light Body Technique to quickly dodge to one side, avoiding a large distance.
Strong flying sword fluctuations caused the surrounding spiritual qi to stir, allowing Lu Xuelian to clearly feel that she was being targeted at this moment.
Perhaps a magical artifact was coming from behind; if she turned her head back now, she would probably be delayed in dodging, so she chose to dodge directly to save time.
With a loud explosion.
Just as Lu Xuelian dodged the flying sword, it slammed into the position where she had been, striking a rock wall fiercely, causing large fragments to scatter, with a burst of red flames.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Xuelian’s gaze moved towards the sound, and she immediately saw that unfamiliar flying sword. Updates are released by ɴovelfire.net
From this situation, she was indeed ambushed.
Deep inside, Lu Xuelian actually didn’t want to clash with anyone.
It’s good if everyone lived harmoniously without interfering with each other; she never thought of engaging in life-and-death struggles with others.
But unfortunately, this time it was beyond her control.
Becoming a cultivator, encountering situations where one must fight the opponent is quite common and unavoidable.
If there’s a fight, there’s a fight. If the opponent is too strong, just hold on as long as possible.
Thinking about how she hasn’t been diligent in her cultivation normally, she is still only at the Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
The person who attacked, perhaps reached the Seventh and Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment.
Or perhaps three to five people completed the assault; otherwise, why dare to act near Qinghe Market?
Today, she probably will fall here.
Thinking thus, Lu Xuelian didn’t panic.
Her gaze turned quickly, immediately finding Chen Yuerong’s figure.
Seeing Chen Yuerong clad in black clothing, her expression cold, step by step approaching Lu Xuelian, with undisguised killing intent in her eyes.
The flying sword on the rock wall was summoned at this moment, whizzing back into her hand, with flames swirling on the sword body.
"A female cultivator?"
Seeing that Chen Yuerong was in a female form, Lu Xuelian didn’t know whether she had disguised herself or was acting in her true form. She secretly tightened her hold on her magical artifact, and instinctively took a few steps back.
Qinghe Market was established by the Heaven-Facing Sect, according to Qinghe Market’s rules, fighting and killing are forbidden within a hundred-mile radius, otherwise, it would alarm Heaven-Facing Sect cultivators stationed there, causing trouble for oneself.
Even if one flees on the spot, avoiding Heaven-Facing Sect cultivators’ pursuit, the Heaven-Facing Sect would still investigate the matter afterward and account for it.
Shuangjiao Mountain is already a hundred miles away from Qinghe Market, clearly beyond the no-fighting zone of Qinghe Market.
The opponent chose to act here, clearly premeditated.
This battle is unavoidable, it must be fought.
Looking at the opponent’s energy when attacking, she is at least at the Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation, making this battle somewhat difficult.
"Despite looking delicate, your vigilance is quite strong."
Chen Yuerong did not use a disguise, merely changed the Hengyue Sect disciple attire for a black robe, her gaze was icy cold as she scrutinized Lu Xuelian with an unfriendly tone.
"A mere disciple of Cyan Mountain Sect dare to travel alone so openly; it’s truly hard to say whether you’re inexperienced and unaware of precautions, or just very bold."
To her, killing Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation Lu Xuelian was no problem unless the opponent had some notable magical artifacts or talismans.
But judging from these days of observation, no troublesome aspects were found.
Just talking about the magical artifact in the opponent’s hand now, it’s a Tier One defensive Compass Spiritual Artifact.
This is a Tier One Middle Grade Brocade Compass, Lu Xuelian’s personal spiritual artifact, very ordinary in tier.
Precisely because of this, Chen Yuerong deemed the Cyan Mountain Sect indeed very weak.
Even the disciple’s equipped magical artifact is just Tier One Middle Grade.
With such a level of equipment, they dared to be sent to sell White Jade Honey, truly seeking their destruction, greatly underestimating the dangers of the Cultivation Realm.
These White Jade Honey must have an unclear origin.
"As fellow cultivators, instead of cultivating properly and chivalrously, you’re engaged in such acts of murder and robbery, you aren’t even ashamed."
Taking a deep breath, utilizing the opportunity while speaking, Lu Xuelian secretly infused magical power into the Brocade Compass, preparing for battle.
"I want the treasure, and I want to kill!"
Elder than Lu Xuelian, seeing Lu Xuelian secretly activating the Brocade Compass, Chen Yuerong ceased to speak further.
She suddenly unleashed her flying sword, it roared loudly as it once again cleaved towards Lu Xuelian.
In her view, the White Jade Honey must be on Lu Xuelian.
After all, before departing, she paid special attention; the Cyan Mountain Residence didn’t further sell White Jade Honey, indicating this young girl carried it, planning to bring it back to Cyan Mountain Sect.
Whether she carries it or not, killing her reveals the answer.
The flying sword whistled through the air, its speed swift.
This was a Tier One Middle Grade Flying Sword named Li Fire Sword, which had followed Chen Yuerong for many years and was mastered expertly.
After the sword was unleashed, it aimed directly at Lu Xuelian’s neck with ruthless precision.
Seeing the opponent act decisively, leaving no chance for escape, Lu Xuelian clenched her teeth and sent her Brocade Compass flying out to shield herself.
The Brocade Compass could attack or defend; once deployed, it covered half of Lu Xuelian’s body.
With a clang, the Brocade Compass sturdily blocked Li Fire Sword’s attack, the compass body merely vibrating without leaving any marks.
Although the sword was blocked, it stirred up Lu Xuelian’s anger, a trace of fury appeared on her delicate face.
"If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for being impolite!"
She shouted clearly, her eyes firmly fixed on Chen Yuerong, issuing a warning.
Chen Yuerong merely sneered. She wasn’t held on the naive belief that one strike would kill Lu Xuelian; after a missed attack, she again commanded Li Fire Sword to strike.
No additional words needed.
Seeing this, Lu Xuelian no longer hesitated,
If a fight is what she wants, then let there be a fight!
While continuing to command the Brocade Compass to shield herself, she also summoned the Cyan Bamboo Sword from her storage bag.
With a whoosh, a bright green light surged.
The Cyan Bamboo Sword flew out of the storage bag, and as Li Fire Sword slashed against the Brocade Compass again, the Cyan Bamboo Sword, under Lu Xuelian’s command, immediately retaliated with a direct slash towards Chen Yuerong.
