Chapter 166
166 Chapter 165-heroine, please spare my life (2 in 1)
Hearing her senior brother’s words, Huang Yi smiled awkwardly and didn’t say anything.
She also knew that her divination had never been very reliable. She was quite talented in cultivation, but in this aspect, she was surprisingly lacking. Most importantly, she was very interested in it and couldn’t help but study it. Once she did, she would spend a long time studying it.
Seeing his Junior Sister like this, Wei Wuhai paused and said, ” “You don’t have to worry too much. There were only two initial enlightenment cultivators in the entire anling Prefecture. The sect had already ordered Qiu wanyong not to act rashly. He wasn’t stupid and wouldn’t come. Lu chaoxi was the only one who could possibly come. “But Lu chaoxi is still in the Qingfeng sect. We’ve already agreed that as soon as Lu chaoxi leaves the Qingfeng sect, he’ll immediately send us a letter. When that time comes, we’ll just have to retreat. We don’t need to fight them head-on, we just need to trap Huang Yishan and this little cold valley.”
“Yes, maybe I’m overthinking it.”
Huang Yi threw the uneasiness in her heart to the back of her mind.
……
The next day, the two foundation building cultivators who had surrounded the small cold valley raised their heads at the same time and looked towards the small cold valley.
Outside the little cold valley, the spell formation that had prevented them from entering for several months had suddenly been lifted.
The opening and removal of this simplified version of the mountain-protecting formation would cause a huge commotion.
The senior brother and Junior Sister looked at each other and saw a strong sense of doubt in each other’s eyes. What was Lu Chaohe trying to do?
Had something happened in the little cold valley? Or were they planning to break out? Or perhaps it was a Suan ni.
Huang Yi remembered her divination from yesterday.
“Senior brother, let’s take a step back and escape from Xuanji,”
Swallowing the word “escape,” Huang Yi used “retreat.”
Wei Wuhai thought for a moment and nodded slightly, ” “Alright,” he said.
No matter what was going on, the actions in the little cold valley were somewhat abnormal.
Perhaps there was an unforeseen event inside, and it was their chance to kill their way in. It was also possible that Lu Chaohe was bluffing to scare them. It was also possible that the other party really had someone to rely on and was confident in charging out.
But no matter what, it wasn’t wrong to take a step back.
Even now, Wei Wuhai still didn’t believe that an initial enlightenment cultivator would come to beat him up.
The current retreat was just a precaution. All in all, the mission they had accepted from the sect was a little shady, and they had to hide their identities. Otherwise, what would happen if the cultivators of the sect attacked their own vassal families for no reason?
It was one thing to be guessed by others, but it was another thing when others caught the evidence.
The three of them had been assigned to come. If it wasn’t for the fact that the rewards were really good, they wouldn’t have been willing to come. Even if they were here, their mission was only to surround and cause trouble. Otherwise, how could Huang shengxi have survived? Even if it was Lu Chaohe, if they had hidden themselves well and checked the formation carefully, there was a chance that they would not have triggered the detection formation set up by Lu Chaohe. When the time came, they could launch a surprise attack and even kill Lu Chaohe in one fell swoop.
However, they didn’t want to be so ruthless. If they killed a foundation building cultivator, the matter would rise to another level.
At the end of the day, this was a battle between the factions of the Feiyun state that belonged to the Qingfeng sect. It was not even a civil war, and it was not to the extent of the battle between Lu and Zhao, where life and death were not at stake.
At least, the three of them didn’t have the motivation to kill.
Since that was the case, they didn’t want to take the risk. To put it bluntly, even if he failed the mission, it was not as important as his own life.
Safety first.
He sent two Qi refining cultivators to investigate the situation in the small cold valley, while they themselves rode on their flying swords and retreated to the East with the rest of the people.
They went east for more than two hours, and then they were blocked.
A man and a woman, riding on flying swords, blocked their way.
“F * ck! Did an initial enlightenment cultivator really fall from the sky?”
Wei Wuhai was dumbfounded.
……
Lu mingchao’s original battle plan was to sneak in and launch a surprise attack to kill the other party.
However, Qianqian had just reached the initial enlightenment stage and was completely unfamiliar with her power. She couldn’t hide her initial enlightenment temperament at all. It was as clear as the bright moon in the dark night.
Then, he could only forget about it.
He sent a letter to inform Chao He to turn off the formation and come out with Ming Ling. As for them, they first went around to the East and then advanced here, directly blocking the path of retreat of the invaders.
The water cloud horse had never undergone coordination training and couldn’t fight together. If they were forced to do so, they would only cause trouble, so they were placed a little further away. Ming Chao and ting Chou had come on their flying swords.
With her hands behind her back, Lu mingchao said to the two people in front of her, ” “Put down your magical equipment and storage bags. If you’re obedient, I’ll spare your lives.”
His white-blue clothes fluttered in the wind, and his untied black hair also fluttered in the wind, revealing Ming Chao’s beautiful and slender neck. After the initial enlightenment, her entire temperament had changed even more. She had become even more cold and transparent.
Wei Wuhai and Huang Yi looked at her as if they were looking at a pool of cold water.
Huang Yi looked at her senior brother, as if asking: What should I do now?
Wei Wuhai gritted his teeth and took out a magic sword. “We cultivators will never surrender without a fight!”
At the same time, he quietly sent a message to Huang Yi: “I think this person has just reached the initial enlightenment stage. When we fight later, we can resist a little. Then, when we find an opportunity, we will fly away and try to escape.”
Before he could finish his message, he suddenly felt a great fluctuation of spiritual power!
In the sect, Wei Wuhai also had experience sparring with some initial enlightenment senior brothers. He immediately realized that this was the attack of the initial enlightenment cultivator.
He immediately became 120% alert. Two defensive magical artifacts rose in front of him. At the same time, he urged the flying sword to move with all his might, trying to Dodge as much as possible.
However, at this moment, the fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly disappeared in front of him. In his field of vision, Lu mingchao’s figure had also disappeared.
“Not good!”
Wei Wuhai could be considered a veteran, and this scene reminded him of an escape technique called the ‘teleportation technique’.
Sure enough, the moment Lu mingchao’s figure and aura suddenly disappeared, the same aura suddenly appeared behind him, and it was very, very close to him.
Lu mingchao did not use spells and magic items from a distance. She did not rely on the suppression of spiritual power between an initial enlightenment cultivator and a foundation building cultivator to deal with them. Instead, she chose to fight in close combat, which was much more dangerous!
The most mainstream cultivators in the Feiyun state were sword cultivators and spell cultivators. The former used magic swords and flying swords to fight enemies with exquisite sword techniques; The latter was good at using powerful spells, and with the help of many magical artifacts, it could form a powerful destructive force.
These two main schools of thought did not like close combat. A swordsman was not weak in close combat, but how could he be as cool as a flying sword that could cut someone’s head from a thousand miles away? And it was safe.
Taking the initiative to get close would indeed allow him to find more opportunities and have more ferocious attacks, but the risk was indeed a little too high.
Wei Wuhai hurriedly activated his defensive Dharma artifact to block the other side. At the same time, an idea came to his mind. “Isn’t this a chance for me? Why don’t I run?”
He wanted to take out a talisman from his chest. If he were to bombard it at close range, he believed that even an initial enlightenment cultivator would not be able to Dodge it. Moreover, this woman who had recklessly rushed to his side didn’t seem to have even activated her defensive magic tool, so it definitely wouldn’t be good to be hit by it. He had a magic tool to protect himself, so even if he was inevitably affected, he shouldn’t be too seriously injured.
However, in an instant, he felt that the two magical artifacts that he had used to block the attack were broken at the same time.
He saw Lu mingchao holding an ice awl in her hand, which was emitting sisi’s cold air. She was determined to stab him.
The first defensive magical equipment that blocked his side was a brown colored triangular magic shield. This magic shield was a level two mid-grade defensive magical equipment. It had a very good protective effect against physical attacks. Moreover, its texture was tough, and it was made of the rare black iron steel wood. It had very good defensive capabilities. However, under The Awl made of ice, it was like a piece of Brittle Paper, piercing through with one stab. The second defensive magical equipment was the spirit summoning iron armor, but it was still easily pierced through.
After Wei Wuhai built his Foundation, he had fought with many people and had seen many different types of cultivators. However, he had never encountered someone like Lu mingchao, who used the teleportation technique to flash to an extremely close position and stabbed people with a magic weapon in her hand.
This method was more common in the Qi cultivating stage-even Qi cultivating cultivators didn’t fight like this.
More importantly, he was so fierce, so brutal, and so violent!
Seeing that the ice awl was about to Pierce his chest, Wei Wuhai hurriedly shouted, ” “Heroine, please spare me!”
The ‘extremely sharp ice’ stopped at a finger-wide area in front of Wei Wuhai’s chest.
Lu mingchao still did not kill him.
She had a decisive personality and could be ruthless at critical moments, but she was not a true bloodthirsty person. On that bloody night in Pingyao, hundreds of people died in her hands, mainly because of her hatred for the Zhao family. After that, she had also learned some lessons from her experience. No matter whether her impulsive choice was right or wrong, objectively speaking, she was the direct fuse of the battle between Lu and Zhao. Her actions at that time had indeed brought a lot of trouble to her family.
Self-reflection always gave you something.
She had also guessed that the intruder in front of her should be from the Qingfeng sect. Although she had the righteous cause of expelling the enemy, if she directly took someone’s life, some trouble that could have been avoided might fall on the head of the family.
It wasn’t that these people couldn’t be killed, but if they really wanted to kill them, they had to think of the consequences before killing them.
Lu mingchao stared at Wei Wuhai with a cold expression, but Wei Wuhai could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
He then thought, ” that sword was just 0.01 centimeters away from my heart, but the next moment, my begging posture was so cool … If I had been any slower, I would have died!
Seeing Lu mingchao’s expression, Wei Wuhai smiled awkwardly and understood what this initial enlightenment cultivator meant.
He loosened his hand and canceled the control of the magic weapon. He handed the talisman that he had just taken out and had not been able to activate in time to Lu mingchao with both hands. During this time, his movements were very gentle and slow, and he avoided using any spiritual power. Otherwise, if there was a misunderstanding, he would be finished.
Lu mingchao took the talisman and placed it in her storage bag. She then lifted her chin.
Wei Wuhai understood immediately. He took out his storage bag and gave it to Lu mingchao.
After confirming that there was nothing threatening on Wei Wuhai except the flying sword under his feet, she looked at Huang Yi, who was a little further away.
Her senior brother Wei Wuhai had already done this, so what else could she do? She could only come up obediently and hand over everything like her senior brother.
Lu mingchao then brought the two of them to the ground.
Looking at the ten to twenty Qi refining cultivators around her, who seemed to be on guard against a great enemy, especially when more than half of them were from the Zhao family, Lu mingchao could not help but have a look of disgust flash across her eyes. She had no intention of hiding this emotion. She didn’t mind others sensing her hatred towards the Zhao family, even if the Zhao family was already dead.
However, she would not kill anyone today.
At that moment, Lu tingchou also landed from the horizon. He said, ” “Auntie, that move of yours just now …”
Lu tingchou did not know how to describe the feelings in his heart. Lu mingchao’s fighting style just now was really too unexpected. It was not that he had not seen his aunt fight before, but this was the first time he had seen her fight like this.
Most importantly, he was indeed ferocious.
This kind of sudden attack was unexpected and naturally difficult to guard against. Moreover, at such a close distance, the power of an initial enlightenment cultivator’s spiritual energy burst together with a divine weapon like the ‘extremely sharp ice’ was indeed extraordinary. Let alone a ninth-tier foundation building cultivator like Wei Wuhai, even some initial enlightenment cultivators might not be able to resist it. If they weren’t careful and weren’t prepared enough, they might die under the sword.
However, Lu tingchou thought about it and still advised, ” ninth aunt, this move is still a little too dangerous. Don’t use it as often as you can in the future.
Lu mingchao nodded her head gently.
She didn’t want to do this today, but if she wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, using a third-rank Magic tool was the best choice. However, the ‘extremely sharp ice’ was a level three high-grade magic tool, and she had only roughly refined it. She could not control it as if it was her own arm and fingers, and the effect of controlling it from a distance would not be very good.
In order to prevent the battle from falling into a stalemate, she could only come up with this plan.
In fact, she had comprehended the method of using the teleportation technique to kill on her own. Back when she was still in the middle stage of the foundation building realm, when her clan attacked the water Ghost Lake and encountered the huge water ghost, she had flashed like this and pierced the eye of the water ghost with her sword. She had used her magic sword to penetrate the head of the water ghost and determined the victory. After that, she had killed Zhao Pingliang in the same way on the bloody night at Pingyao.
After tasting the sweetness of it many times, she would indeed feel that although this move was dangerous, the benefits of success were also very high.
However, there were still many areas that needed to be improved in order to turn it into his own regular combat method.
For example, if the teleportation technique could flash continuously, wouldn’t it be more flexible, more threatening, and safer?
This seemed to be the direction she could work towards in the future.
