Chapter 36: Undercurrent
Huh!
Looking at Xiao Yulan, who was destroyed in the wooden house, she did not lose her mind in anger. She sent a signal to ask for help from her sleeve. The red fireworks bloomed in the air once, then rose again, and then bloomed for the second time, and disappeared completely after the third time.
Xiao Yulan quickly said to Xiao Chen, "This is the highest level of distress signal. It won't be long before the third elder and the others should come."
Xiao Chen looked at the man in black who had already discovered the fireworks and was chasing him quickly. He felt helpless. When the third elder and the others came, there might be only two corpses left.
If only Xiao Chen was here, he could leave easily after the Thunder Escape Technique was released. Unfortunately, he would not be able to use the Thunder Escape Technique at his current level.
The two of them kept running in the forest, avoiding the arrows shot from behind from time to time. This made them much slower. If they could not get a solution, they would soon be caught up.
Xiao Chen's body was in the air, and he turned over quickly, avoided an arrow again, and said anxiously: "Cousin Yulan, if this continues, you will be caught up sooner or later."
Xiao Yulan turned around and looked at the situation behind her. The man in black kept jumping on the branches without stopping. These people should be professionally trained crossbowmen, and they did not stop even when shooting.
With his hands spread, Xiao Yulan's body danced in the air, countless red petals fell from the sky, and the fragrance of poinsettia spread in the forest.
Xiao Yulan stopped, pulled out the Broken Water Sword, and stood there and danced gracefully, like a lively elf. The arrows shot in seemed to have encountered an invisible aura, and all left.
Red sword lights flew around, and Xiao Yulan kept dancing among the petals in the sky. Countless red sword lights shot out from the Broken Water Sword.
The red sword light looks very beautiful in the air, but these beautiful sword lights all contain poinsettia poison, and as long as they are touched, they will be poisoned immediately.
The dense red sword lights almost filled Xiao Yulan's space, and the entire space was filled with poinsettia pollen. These highly poisonous pollen seemed extremely weird and beautiful at this time.
The more beautiful things in the world are, the more deadly there is. The chasing man in black looked at the red space ahead and stopped wisely. Poinsettia, the five poisons in the world, is not everyone who has the courage to try it out.
Xiao Chen in front of him stared blankly at Xiao Yulan with the petals flying. At this time, she was like a fairy, dancing the most charming dance in the world, making people obsessed with it and unable to extricate themselves.
"Let's go, cousin Xiao Chen."
At some point, Xiao Yulan stopped dancing and suddenly appeared behind Xiao Chen, pulled up his wrist, changed direction, and ran forward.
This direction is the route towards the core area of Qijiao Mountain. The spirit beasts in the core area are much more ferocious than the outer periphery, and the grade is extremely high. Ordinary warriors, even great martial artists, dare not go deeper rashly.
Xiao Yulan has been practicing here for nearly ten years. After relying on her familiarity with the terrain, she has a great confidence in entering the Qijiao Mountain and is able to get rid of the pursuers behind her.
Xiao Chen, who came to his senses, looked at Xiao Yulan who was pulling his wrist and said, "Actually, my injury has healed, so I can leave by myself."
Xiao Yulan didn't answer his question, and held his hand and ran forward constantly, saying lightly: "You're almost gone, you still care about these things."
In her opinion, Xiao Chen was only in the realm of a low-grade warrior. At this moment, he was chased by someone, so he naturally had to be led by her so that he could be faster.
But Xiao Chen's strength is not as simple as it seems. In this way, led by Xiao Yulan, both of them will have a much lower speed.
Xiao Chen was about to answer, but Xiao Yulan suddenly stopped and looked ahead with a cold look. Under a big tree in front, a man in black stood quietly in place.
"Super the soul blood jade, otherwise you will die!" the man in black said calmly, without any emotion in his tone.
Poinsettia's poison can block those martial artists, but the realm of this man in black has reached the peak of the top-grade martial artists, so there is naturally a way to avoid the toxicity of Poinsettia.
He always appeared around him at the level of a great martial artist, which made Xiao Chen very depressed. With his strength, even if he met a martial artist, he would have the ability to fight.
But if he hit the peak of the great martial arts master, he could only use the Qinglong to go out to sea to fight to the death. However, with the lesson he taught last time, he would not dare to use this terrifying heavenly martial arts anymore.
Xiao Yulan did not answer, and the petals all over the sky appeared around her again, and the broken water sword in her hand stabbed at the man without hesitation.
"Looking for death." The man in black snorted coldly, took action like lightning, slanted his body gently, avoiding the sword, stretched out two fingers, and pointed it into a sword, piercing Xiao Yulan's forehead.
Xiao Yulan retreated quickly, but the man in black did not chase him. With a turn, a man-eating flower shot out from his hand. The man-eating flower buds opened wide, like the huge mouth of a ferocious beast, biting hard at Poinsettia behind him.
It turned out that this person had known for a long time that Xiao Yulan planted poinsettia behind him. The previous blow was just an appearance, and the one behind him was killing.
Man-eating flowers can suck all the pollen inside and then consume it to produce greater toxicity. No wonder he can be unaware of the toxicity of poinsettia and can also be alert to the poinsettia that appears quietly behind him.
The instant situation made Xiao Yulan not have time to take back his martial soul. A hissing sound came. The man-eating flower was already biting heavily on the poinsettia and chewing it constantly.
The situation was critical. Xiao Yulan was surrounded by poinsettia petals. The toxicity of poinsettia was not different from the enemy. Xiao Chen could not help in close proximity.
At this time, I can't keep it anymore. Xiao Chen shouted lightning Technique!
Lightning slashed through the void and roared towards the man in black. The man in black did not dare to be arrogant and immediately flew backwards. Just as he stood still, the lightning in the sky fell towards him again.
Xiao Chen's spiritual sense had locked him, and he could instantly determine his footing point. As long as he retreated, the thunderfall technique could be slashed down again immediately.
However, with Xiao Chen's realm, such continuous and rapid casting can only last three times. After three times, you have to rest for a while before you can cast it again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yulan quickly took back the poinsettia. The complete poinsettia had been swallowed by the cannibal flowers and was left with only a fragment of petals.
He avoided a lightning bolt again, his eyes were full of cold light, and his eyes were staring at Xiao Chen with a tight look. With a wave of his hand, the ferocious man-eating flower opened his bloody mouth and flew towards Xiao Chen like lightning.
Looking at the terrifying man-eating flower, Xiao Chen was shocked. The flower even had sharp teeth that only carnivorous animals grew, and the teeth were shining with cold light.
Xiao Chen's thoughts were like lightning in his heart, and he quickly thought about a solution to the problem. His biggest reliance should be the Qinglong Martial Soul, but at this time the soul weapon was destroyed, so he naturally could no longer exert the power of the Qinglong Martial Soul.
All you can rely on is the Purple Thunder True Fire, but the Purple Thunder True Fire has been facing a very serious problem for a long time, with more stickiness and insufficient penetration. The vital energy shield of ordinary warriors can simply resist the penetration of the Purple Thunder True Fire.
How can the Purple Thunder True Fire become more penetrating?
But at this moment, it was too late to think about it. The man-eating flower was about to approach. If the man-eating flower was allowed to approach, he would probably not be able to be swallowed up in a long time.
Puchi!
The purple flame gathered from Xiao Chen's fingertips and gathered his spiritual consciousness on it. Xiao Chen had a sudden idea and used the skills in refining medicine, and his spiritual consciousness quickly turned the purple thunder true fire.
With every turn, Xiao Chen's vital energy consumed a lot, but the power contained in the purple thunder true fire increased significantly.
With a whoosh, the flames flew rapidly towards the cannibal flower, and it was extremely instantly.
Bang! The flames met the man-eating flower and made a violent explosion. The huge man-eating flower turned into countless stars and returned to the body of the man in black.
An explosion occurred, which was a bit different from what Xiao Chen imagined. He originally thought that the power of the purple thunder fire could penetrate the man-eating flower, defeat it, and then take the man in black directly.
It seems that I have to think about it more in the future, but the crisis in front of me has finally been resolved temporarily. Xiao Chen took out the soul blood jade from the Qiankun Ring.
"Soul Blood Jade, in my hand, I want to take it,
Let's chase me first." Xiao Chen said loudly to the man in black. At this time, Xiao Yulan was injured and could not fight for the time being, so he could only lead the man in black away first.
As long as you pull it away alone, it should be easier to escape with your own thunder escape technique. In this way, Yulan's cousin can also get the chance to escape.
Looking at Xiao Chen's rushing away, the man in black took a deep breath, condensed the martial soul in his body again, and raised his toes a little, and chased Xiao Chen.
His purpose was to get the Soul Blood Jade, and nothing else mattered. Since the Soul Blood Jade was on Xiao Chen, there was no need to worry about Xiao Yulan anymore.
Xiao Yulan's face was extremely pale. She looked at Xiao Chen's leaving figure, with a complicated expression on her face. She held the Broken Water Sword in her hand and kept trembling. Her mind was like a battle between heaven and man, but she still didn't chase her.
She naturally knew that Xiao Chen led the man in black away to leave her a chance to escape. With the man in black's cultivation, the two of them worked together to be his opponent, so it would be better for one person to lead him away and leave another person behind.
If she chased after her now, it would be useless for Xiao Chen's cousin to leave, but she would not believe that Xiao Chen, who had just recovered from the serious injury, could escape the pursuit of the man in black.
How can she feel at ease!
At the same time, a certain person in Qijiao Mountain was sitting at the Xiao family's residence. The third elder of the Xiao family looked at the sky, and the red fireworks suddenly bloomed three times, and the eyebrows on his face jumped violently.
"I'll inform you that all the Xiao family members above the martial arts rank together; I also asked someone to go down the mountain to notify the elder, and said that the eldest lady was in danger and asked him to invite Elder Liu out, so I'll hurry!"
The people under his command had never seen the third elder's expression so severe. Knowing that the matter was serious, they immediately took action.
Chapter completed!
