Chapter 54 Sect Grand Competition (29)
“We need to locate the demons first,” Shi Ming suggested.
The two looked at Qiao An at the same time; with the weakest combat power, she was undoubtedly the one who dragged the team down.
"This secret realm is too large; both finding people and breaking the formation will take a lot of time."
Luo Zai Shui suddenly noticed the communication talisman in Qiao An's hand, and her eyes lit up: "That's right, I can track the communication talismans I throw out. If the others are also caught, I should be able to track their location."
Shi Ming and Luo Zai Shui exchanged a glance and decided to set off immediately. They originally wanted Qiao An to find a safe place to hide, but considering that the secret realm itself was not safe, they decided to have Qiao An stay with them.
In order not to expose themselves, Shi Ming had no way to fly on his sword. The two of them used the Wind Riding Technique to rush ahead, while Qiao An gritted her teeth and followed closely behind.
"Don't worry, the demons won't kill people easily unless they want to start a war. But the demons are not what they used to be, so they probably won't declare war so openly."
Shi Ming's words did have a calming effect. Luo Zai Shui tracked the location of Nie Xu Shuang and the others while observing the formation above the secret realm, pondering how to break the deadlock.
Ye Xiao, who was seriously injured, slowly woke up. Su Wusi hurriedly went over to him: "Senior Brother Ye, you're awake!"
Ye Xiao shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
Hearing the commotion, Nie Xushuang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ye Xiao had woken up; otherwise, the Myriad Swords Sect might have been thrown into chaos.
Ye Xiao noticed that the communication talisman hidden at his waist was faintly warm. Su Wusi noticed his gaze, turned her back, and tried to quietly destroy the talisman.
"Let me see what you've hidden?"
Without a word, a hand snatched the talisman away. Su Wusi met the female demon's gaze and knew something was wrong.
The female demon carefully examined the scalding talisman, then lifted Su Wusi's chin, forcing her to look at the talisman in her hand. She curled her lips into a smile: "You said you had no way to contact me, huh? Do you know the price for lying to me?"
Su Wusi looked at her calmly, without a trace of fear in her eyes. The female demon, finding it boring, released her chin, held up the talisman in her hand, and looked around: "They were able to find this place based on this talisman, right?"
Some people lowered their heads, afraid of getting into trouble, while others stared intently at the talisman in the female demon's hand.
Chu Yeli looked at the talisman that was faintly glowing with golden light and realized that he had been careless. If Luo Zaishui arrived at this moment, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Just as he was thinking about how to destroy the talisman from her, the talisman suddenly exploded and injured the female demon's arm.
"who!"
The female demon clutched her wound, staring intently at the white figure not far away.
Nie Xushuang was startled; why did Shui just step forward like that?
The three demons nearby recognized Luo Zai Shui and immediately surrounded her.
The female demon narrowed her eyes, exuding a dangerous aura: "Good, very good. I was just looking for you. You've walked right into my trap. Capture her!"
Just as the three demons got close, Luo Zai Shui threw more than ten talismans that exploded in the air. The three demons instinctively used their hands to block them, and a cloud of dust obscured Luo Zai Shui's figure.
The female demon instinctively began searching for Luo Zai Shui's figure. Her years of combat experience allowed her to lash out with her whip in time when danger approached.
Before she could even see who had attacked her, the whip had already wrapped around the man's sword, and another talisman exploded in front of her. In the blink of an eye, the attacker had vanished again.
This thoroughly enraged the female demon. She raised her hand and lashed out with her whip, the air whistling as it cut through the air: "Come out here! What kind of righteous disciple are you, sneaking around like this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Zai Shui reappeared not far from Ye Xiao and the others. She held the peach branch in her hand and had a frivolous smile on her face, seemingly not taking those demons seriously.
After the female demon saw the peach blossom clearly, she laughed and said, "I remember you. You were that brat from Xianyun Peak back then. I didn't expect to run into you here after all these years."
Luo Zai Shui stared at her face for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud: "So it's a defeated opponent. Who do we have here?"
She seemed oblivious to the three other demons who were stealthily approaching, intending to ambush her, and didn't seem to take them seriously at all.
The female demon was not provoked. Instead, she looked at her coldly and said, "You're only at the Qi Refining stage. Let's see how long you can be so arrogant."
She waved her hand, and the three demons surrounded her.
Luo Zai Shui glanced quickly at the positions of the three demonic cultivators, activated the Wind Riding Technique, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The female demon narrowed her eyes and clicked her tongue lightly: "You little rat who can't stand the light, let's see how long you can last."
The four people she brought were all at the late Nascent Soul stage. Although they were no match for those old righteous cultivators, dealing with these disciples was a piece of cake. Although Luo Zai Shui was able to escape from them several times, it was only because she was fast. Once her spiritual power was exhausted, she would be at their mercy.
She pointed her whip at Su Wusi, patiently waiting for Luo Zaishui to reappear: "If she runs again, I'll kill her."
The female demon saw it clearly: she had just tried to save the female cultivator. Although she didn't know the woman's identity, that didn't stop her from using it as leverage. The weakness of the human race was too obvious.
"Junior Sister!"
Jian Muyi struggled and lunged in front of Su Wusi, using the long whip as a shield. Ji Tinghan and Xue Xin also flanked Su Wusi, protecting her tightly.
"What kind of skill is it to bully my junior sister! If you've got the guts, come at me!"
The female demon clearly hadn't expected several fearless individuals to stand directly in her way. She sneered, "How touching! Aren't you going to show yourself?"
"Zheng—"
A flame ignited before the demon's eyes; had she not raised her whip to block it, she would have been burned by the spiritual fire.
"Senior Brother!"
Only then did the female demon realize that the person she had just fought was this male cultivator. Although his cultivation level was more than one realm lower, he was actually struggling to fight him.
The three demonic cultivators wanted to step forward to help, but the white-robed female cultivator blocked their way: "Your opponent is me."
For a moment, amidst the flashing swords and the clash of blades, no one could catch a glimpse of Shi Ming and Su Wusi.
Chu Yeli narrowed his eyes: "They actually fought to a standstill despite being of a higher level."
All the others could see were two sword energies, one red and one blue, and the occasional sound of talismans exploding.
In the blink of an eye, the two switched positions again. The female demon's long whip became entangled in Luo Zai Shui's peach branch, while Shi Ming knelt on one knee and blocked the sword attacks of the three demonic cultivators with his sword.
The female demon increased her strength and threw the peach branch in Luo Zaishui's hand far away. Before she could be smug for even a few seconds, Luo Zaishui calmly summoned the Rainbow Sword. She flexed her wrist and thrust the sword forward again. For a moment, the four Nascent Soul stage demons did not gain any advantage over them.
Just as they were locked in a fierce battle, a bluish-gray figure crept up to Nie Xushuang's side.
"Senior Sister!"
Nie Xushuang frowned slightly: "Why are you here? It's too dangerous, leave quickly!"
Qiao An frantically pulled out the talisman Luo Zai Shui had given her: "Senior Sister, I'll get you out of here right away!"
