“Hahaha!” The black-faced cultivator laughed again, “The value of your snow lion is far greater than you. Since I’ve got both of you, how can I let the snow lion go?!”
Zhao Yanzi didn’t reply. She was determined to fight this black-faced cultivator to death if he tried to capture her.
“I, Zhao Yanzi, will not surrender!” she thought.
“Humph! Still not surrendering?! Back!” The black-faced cultivator’s face darkened.
He had given Zhao Yanzi the chance, but she wasn’t willing to tell him the names of her sect and master, giving him no reason to spare her life!
If the array formation shrunk, Little White would be trapped for sure; Zhao Yanzi’s life was longer a concern for them.
He didn’t need to catch Zhao Yanzi in person. If she lived, he would bring her back to the sect!
“Little White, don’t die!” Seeing the array formation suddenly shrinking, Zhao Yanzi used all her nature essence to create an energy sphere to protect Little White.
The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect who were standing around the Core Formation Realm cultivators to assist with the array formation were stunned.
They had seen spirit beasts trying to protect their masters in dangerous situations but not the other way around!
They didn’t know that Zhao Yanzi’s stubbornness was showing. Since she brought innocent Little White into trouble, she wanted to protect it!
Zhao Yanzi was willful and unreasonable on the surface, but she was loyal and principle-driven deep down. She would always admit to her mistakes and take responsibility even though she never said it.
With her stubborn personality, she would instead give in in secret than admit it in public.
Whenever Hao Ren pointed out the mistakes in her homework, she would make the excuses of carelessness. But after Hao Ren was gone, she would think about her mistakes earnestly!
No one saw her hard work because she didn’t want people to see that she was changing for Hao Ren!
Bang!
The hexagonal array formation shrunk to one meter before tightening into a circle.
Zhao Yanzi felt as if all her bones were breaking, but she persisted with gritted teeth.
Bam! Her weak energy sphere shattered.
Bang! A louder explosion noise suddenly appeared.
Zhao Yanzi found that the pressure on her body disappeared!
“Hao Ren!” Zhao Yanzi’s first thought was that Hao Ren had come!
However, when she opened her eyes and looked carefully, she found that the golden bell hanging on Little White’s neck broke.
The Lu sisters gave the small bell to Hao Ren, and he had hung it on Little White’s neck.
At this moment, the bell broke and caused a great explosion!
The shattered bell turned into a burst of golden dust, flying in all directions and instantly breaking the array formation built by hundreds of cultivators.
“Impossible!” The black-faced cultivator was astonished.
This array formation could even trap level 6 demon beasts. In theory, it could also trap Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. However, it was broken!
Swoosh! Little White was the first to react, and it flew toward East with flames burning on its paws.
The cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect were knocked back five to six meters due to the collapsing array formation and thus didn’t react to the situation in time.
The black-faced cultivator reacted the fastest, but he lost Little White who ran at full speed after chasing for hundreds of meters
“Chase after her!” The black-faced cultivator returned to the group and shouted, shaking with fury.
After all, it was a big humiliation that hundreds of cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect couldn’t trap a young Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator with a level 3 snow lion!
“From the looks of it, a troublesome figure like her on Fifth Heaven is probably related to the mysterious City Sect!” he thought.
…
Still frightened, Zhao Yanzi almost cried at the narrow escape. She had been thinking of fighting the black-faced cultivator to death, but the array formation suddenly broke.
She didn’t know that the Lu sister had given the golden bell to Hao Ren so that he could summon them in an emergency. The other function of the golden bell was that if the Lu sister couldn’t come in time, the golden bell would explode under enormous pressure and break any attack or siege!
In the past, Hao Ren needed this golden bell since he was weak, but the golden bell never exploded. This time, it saved Zhao Yanzi and Little White!
“Humph! I finally found you!”
Zhao Yanzi was about to heave a sigh of relief when she heard a shout.
She looked up and saw Duan Yao in her green silk robe flying toward her on a white snow lion.
Duan Yao didn’t know that Zhao Yanzi had just escaped from a major battle. She was patrolling on Fifth Heaven and found this place with the guidance of her jade pendant.
After Zhao Yanzi wounded her, she went to her Grand Uncle-Master for help. Hearing her words, the protective Grand Uncle-Master was furious.
Although the injuries were no big deal, it was a serious business to lose the Purple Green Treasure Sword!
Duan Yao had been brought up by this Grand Uncle-Master who loved her as his own granddaughter. He was furious by the fact that a little brat was bold enough to wound Duan Yao and take the Sky Mountain Sect’s treasures and techniques by force!
Immediately, this Grand Uncle-Master issued Sky Mountain Order and gave Duan Yao the Sky-Turning Stamp, which was a powerful dharma treasure, so that she can get her revenge.
Having just escaped, Zhao Yanzi was still panting with fear. Seeing Duan Yao taking out a shiny golden stamp, she knew she was in danger and fled toward the direction of the Ethereal Summit.
“Don’t run!” Duan Yao lifted the Sky-Turning Stamp.
Boom! The Sky-Turning Stamp shot out a golden stamp pattern.
Zhao Yanzi lifted the Purple Green Treasure Sword to block it, but she was no match for it and was sent flying for hundreds of meters with Little White, crashing onto a mountain.
Xie Yujia was cultivating in her cave abode in Ethereal Summit with 36 golden and silver dharma notes rotating around her slowly.
Suddenly, she heard the booming sounds outside of the valley. Frowning, she stood up and went out to check.
587 Life-Death Notes! Demonic Bow!
Since Zhen Congming created an array formation around the Ethereal Summit, one could see the outside of the valley from the inside, but people from the outside couldn’t see the inside.
Standing at the entrance of her cave abode, Xie Yujia saw golden lights flash outside of the valley. She looked closer and saw that Duan Yao of Sky Mountain Sect was attacking Zhao Yanzi who was on Little White.
Zhao Yanzi and Little White had almost reached the Ethereal Summit, but Duan Yao’s powerful dharma treasure shot down golden square light beams one after another, attacking Zhao Yanzi.
Bang!
A golden square light beam shot onto Little White’s belly.
Little White tumbled three times in the air, and the place on its belly that got hit was scorched black.
If Little White hadn’t reached level 3, and Duan Yao’s realm was high, this attack would have shot down Little White directly.
Zhao Yanzi clutched Little White’s fur, and she almost fell from the great tumbles.
“Little White!”
Zhao Yanzi was heartbroken for Little White, so she stared at Duan Yao angrily.
“B*itch! Take two more strikes!” Duan Yao was also furious, and she raised the Sky-Turning Stamp high up in the air.
“Little White, go in by yourself!” Zhao Yanzi tossed out the Purple Green Treasure Sword to her feet and jumped onto it.
Her speed on the sword was definitely slower compared to when she was on Little White, but she didn’t want Little White to block the attacks with its body!<
br />
Standing on the Purple Green Treasure Sword, Zhao Yanzi flew up dozens of meters abruptly.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two golden square light beams struck toward Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi threw the small dagger toward Duan Yao.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi attacking her with her own dharma treasure, Duan Yao was even more furious. She flew up half a meter on her snow lion and shook out golden square light beams again.
Bang!
One of the light beams shot past Zhao Yanzi while the other struck her shoulder!
A big wound appeared Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder, and she was sent flying backward while her pink pajamas instantly turned bright red!
Seeing Zhao Yanzi was wounded, Little White roared angrily and leaped toward Duan Yao, spitting out a fireball and an icicle at the same time!
“Release!”
Duan Yao’s stamp rereleased its power.
The golden light beam pierced the fireball and the icicle!
Then, Duan Yao dodged the dagger which flew past her ear. Without Zhao Yanzi’s control, the dagger slowed down, and Duan Yao reached out and caught it with ease.
Pale-faced, Zhao Yanzi’s body separated from her sword while falling into the valley.
Duan Yao finally got her revenge, wondering if she had killed her opponent. Although she roamed around Fifth and Sixth Heaven a lot, she had never killed a cultivator before.
Even though Zhao Yanzi was her enemy, Duan Yao panicked when she thought that she had killed Zhao Yanzi.
On Fifth Heaven and Sixth Heaven, robbing others’ treasures by force was deemed unacceptable, but it was quite common that cultivators killed friends for their treasures.
Duan Yao’s attacks were meant to kill Zhao Yanzi since her Grand Uncle-Master had given her this stamp-shaped dharma treasure to kill her opponent and take back Sky Mountain Sect’s treasures and techniques.
Other cultivators should never take the ultimate dharma treasure and valuable techniques of Sky Mountain Sect!
“I must kill her…” With the Sky-Turning Stamp in her hand, Duan Yao gritted her teeth while she watched Zhao Yanzi fall into the valley.
The kind-hearted cultivators on Fifth Heaven were usually killed by other vicious cultivators.
Duan Yao’s grand uncle-master had killed many opponents before he reached his current top-tier Nascent Soul Realm.
What her grand uncle-master told her echoed in Duan Yao’s mind.
Boom!
The Sky-Turning Stamp in her hand released another golden light beam.
Huahua… A white shadow flashed by and caught Zhao Yanzi.
Feeling unease, Duan Yao missed her target with the Sky-Turning Stamp and shot a distant mountaintop, cutting a piece from the peak.
“I can’t show mercy to my mortal enemy!” Thinking of the things Zhao Yanzi had done to her, Duan Yao tightened her grip on the Sky-Turning Stamp and lifted it.
She had seen all kinds of dangers in which her senior and junior brothers and sisters killed other cultivators or were killed by other cultivators. She was the only one who hadn’t killed any cultivators yet!
As the only daughter of the Sect Master of Sky Mountain, she didn’t need to go to the really dangerous places, and others didn’t dare to mess with her, the princess of Sky Mountain Sect.
Only Zhao Yanzi rushed into her life, taking away her dharma treasures, techniques, and her jade pendant!
“Also there was a ‘pervert’ who helped this b*tch!” Duan Yan thought; she had never been bullied like this!
After thinking, Duan Yan abruptly activated her nature essence in her hand, making the Sky-Turning Stamp flash.
“Beg for forgiveness, and I’ll let you live! But you’ll become a slave of Sky Mountain Sect for the rest of your life!” Duan Yao yelled.
Swoosh!A white light suddenly flashed on her left.
Duan Yao turned her head in alarm and saw a sharp arrow with white light shooting toward her with a speed that couldn’t be detected by the naked eye.
Pu!
The sharp arrow pierced into her shoulder!
Feeling the sharp pain in her shoulder, Duan Yao covered her wound but found no arrow. Blood gushed out of her injury as if a bead had shot into her bone and flesh!
She gritted her teeth and looked toward the direction of the sharp arrow. She saw a pretty girl standing on a summit 200 meters away. This girl was dressed in clothes she had never seen before, holding a longbow that looked like it was made from bronze.
The pretty girl lifted the longbow and pulled it, but there was no arrow in her hand!
Carried by Little White, the weakened Zhao Yanzi saw Xie Yujia standing on the summit with her eyes.
Right now, Xie Yujia was covered in sweat.
Not able to fly on a sword and without any flight dharma treasures, Xie Yujia could only run up to the top of the mountain when she saw Zhao Yanzi in danger.
The Ethereal Summit seemed to be only a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, but it was a long distance to run up to the top.
Xie Yujia’s arms and legs were full of scratches inflicted by thorns, but she ignored them!
When she ran to the top, her strength was depleted. Seeing Duan Yao continuing to attack, she immediately drew the bow and shot out an arrow!
She didn’t have a bad impression of Duan Yan and had thought that Zhao Yanzi was a bit too aggressive. However, now she felt like Duan Yao was the fiercer one, trying to kill Zhao Yanzi!
Swoosh! Without a word, Xie Yujia shot out another sharp white arrow.
The second arrow was earth-shaking!
For a moment, the nearby nature essence seemed to fluctuate when the arrow that was condensed from nature essence whistled through the air.
Having not seen such a dharma treasure before, Duan Yao moved her legs as she sat on the level 4 snow lion.
The snow lion flew up dozens of meters while Duan Yao released the Sky-Turning Stamp!
She had been hesitant on whether she should kill Zhao Yanzi, but she didn’t mind a battle of dharma treasures!
Bang!
The white light and the golden light broke even in the collision!
Duan Yao was astonished since the Sky-Turning Stamp was a treasure given to her by the Grand Uncle-Master who was a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and its power was no less than the Purple Green Treasure Sword when it was used by her, a Core Formation Realm cultivator.
However, to her surprise, this low-tier Foundation Establishment Realm female cultivator could shoot out a white arrow and counter the Sky-Turning Stamp!
Little White whose fur had been scorched black carried the weak Zhao Yanzi to Xie Yujia’s side.
Xie Yujia was a bit relieved when she saw that Zhao Yanzi was still alive, but she was furious when she saw the bloody wound in her shoulder.
Despite the unpleasant incidents between them, she wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt Zhao Yanzi!
Xie Yujia rarely lost her temper, but she was furious this time!
Gritting her teeth, she shot out another arrow!
Swoosh! This time, she shot out an arrow that had both black and white lights around it; she applied her Life-Death Notes into the arrow!
A single Life Note or Death Note was earth-shaking, and the effect of merging both notes was explosive!
Surprised that Zhao Yanzi had a helper, Duan Yao released the full force of her Core Formation Realm, and the Sky-Turning Stamp shot out another golden light beam.
Bang!
The arrow and the golden light beam collided with each other in the sky.
The black and white lights from the arrow expanded while the golden light beam from the stamp grew rapidly.
The level 4 snow lion that was carrying Duan Yao couldn’t withstand the heat wave and retreated dozens of meters.
Duan Yao widened her eyes and looked at Xie Yujia in astonishment, wondering how a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could use such great power!
After
forcing back Duan Yao with two arrows, Xie Yujia immediately took out a jade bottle from her storage ring and poured out a detox pill and an essence replenishment pill. She put the essence replenishment pill into Zhao Yanzi’s mouth and bit open the detox pill before spreading it around Zhao Yanzi’s wound.
Despite the miraculous effects of level 4 elixir pills, they wouldn’t be able to save Zhao Yanzi if they were used too late.
“Good. Little White, go and find Hao Ren,” Xie Yujia patted Little White’s head and said.
Little White placed Zhao Yanzi on the ground beside Xie Yujia before leaping into the distant valley.
As she watched Xie Yujia heal Zhao Yanzi, Duan Yao hovered in the sky while sitting on the level 4 snow lion cautiously, afraid that Xie Yujia’s bow would release greater power.
Little White suddenly flew back from the valley with the Purple Green Treasure Sword in its mouth!
Seeing the Purple Green Treasure Sword, Duan Yao suddenly remembered that she should have taken back the sword!
Tud!
Little White tossed the Purple Green Treasure Sword onto the ground beside Xie Yujia’s feet.
Duan Yao’s face paled instantly, and she glared at Xie Yujia with a vicious look as she yelled, “That sword is mine! Hand over the sword!”
Ignoring her, Xie Yujia tossed two essence replenishment pills to Little White before slowly drawing open the demonic bow.
588 Big Zhumu! Small Zhumu!
Hum…Hum… The bronze demonic bow vibrated.
It was the sign that nature essence had been injected into the dharma treasure. Different from other techniques, the Spells’ Origin Note Scroll that Xie Yujia cultivated used the power of dharma notes to exert great powers.
The cultivators with powerful realms could draw all the natural essence from an area of millions of square kilometers! With enough nature essence, one could form an infinite number of notes!
Due to this terrifying technique, the other Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn’t dare to mess with Qingfeng Hermit!
The Spells’ Origin Note Scroll had no specific levels like ordinary techniques. The higher the cultivation realm was, the stronger the dharma notes would get.
