Chapter 35: Counterattack

  The two did not talk much, and left Wanbaofang at a faster speed.

  About six miles out of the market, there is a small forest.

  Shen Qingluo and Xia Jinxi walked side by side. When they passed the forest, several whistling sounds came from behind.

  The two were well prepared. They turned around at the same time, each holding a long sword in their hands and slashed at the enemy!

  The three ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators who were following chose to sneak attack. They did not show up, but released the spiritual beasts they raised to attack first.

  Shen Qingluo's spiritual power was running, and she held the Lingyun Sword in her right hand and quickly slashed at the first-level peak black snake that was biting her neck.

  A sharp friction sound that made people's teeth ache came out. The black snake had thick skin and flesh, and the Lingyun Sword could not break its defense for a while.

  Seeing this, Shen Qingluo snorted coldly, moved to the side, and at the same time, she touched the ground with her toes, jumped up, and the whole person quickly turned around, fell from mid-air, stepped on the black snake's seven-inch position, and slashed the snake's head with the long sword in his hand.

  This time, she used all her strength. With a sound of "Puff", the sharp blade instantly sank into the snake's head.

  Shen Qingluo quickly turned the hilt of the sword, and the next moment, the blade crushed the black snake's head, completely cutting off its life.

  On the other side, the one attacking Xia Jinxi was a fist-sized first-order late-stage toad-like monster.

  The toad monster has weak defense, but its innate venom is extremely strong. As long as it is touched by a trace, the spiritual power will quickly dissipate.

  Xia Jinxi was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She seized the opportunity to swung the sword and swept the toad's long tongue, the cold air rolled wildly, cracked the ice like a tongue, and the air condensed inch by inch.

Along with Xia Jinxi's sword blade, there was also an all-pervasive cold air.

Xia Jinxi's hard work finally paid off.

  With constant practice, her ability to comprehend the power of heaven and earth has greatly improved. When performing Tai Chi sword moves, it seems that she is accumulating power to condense the sword intent.

  Until this moment, the three people on the opposite side had not appeared.

  Shen Qingluo and Xia Jinxi looked at each other, nodded slightly, and the next moment, the two of them attacked together.

  With two swooshing sounds, the two flying swords instantly slashed towards a giant tree in the distance that was several people hugging thick.

  Just as it was about to hit the giant tree, the flying sword suddenly changed direction and slashed at the three people hiding behind a round stone on the east side of the giant tree with lightning speed.

  The three people didn't know that Shen Qingluo and Xia Jinxi had discovered them long ago. After reacting, they were shocked and angry, and they all offered their magic weapons to fight.

  For a while, the bangs of various weapons clashing continued.

  Shen Qingluo quickly pinched her fingers, and as the Tianyuan Yanjin Jue of the martial arts technique was running, a golden long sword condensed in the air in an instant, and the extremely sharp sword energy made the people present subconsciously look sideways.

  Heaven-level martial arts are rare in this world. Even the three super sects have mastered no more than five fingers.

  After practicing the heaven-level martial arts, it is easy to cross the small realm and kill the enemy.

  The golden sword condensed, and the target was directly aimed at the black-clothed young man who seemed to be the strongest among the three.

  The moment he was locked by the golden sword, the young man was terrified, and a sense of crisis of death enveloped his whole body.

  He shouted loudly, using all his defensive treasures, while controlling his body to retreat rapidly.

  The next moment, the golden sword, with its sharp sword energy, slashed the black-clothed youth with a bang at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to see .

  The latter's defensive auras were shattered one after another like paper paste. A moment later, a blood line appeared between the young man's eyebrows, and he fell straight to the ground, stirring up a large amount of dust.

  The remaining two people looked at this scene and were horrified.

  Although they were both at the ninth level of Qi Refining, the black-clothed youth was the strongest among them, but he was killed in one move!

  With such a powerful attack method, was the black-clothed girl who made the move really only at the eighth level of Qi Refining?

  Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the two people at once. They knew that they had kicked the iron plate, so they decisively chose to retreat.

  Unfortunately, it was too late for them to retreat at this moment.

  After Shen Qingluo killed the black-clothed youth with one blow, she pinched her hands again, and another golden sword with sharp sword energy formed from mid-air.

  At the same time, Xia Jinxi continued to swing the sword, the killing sword intent in the body rushed out in an instant, and the red sword intent and the cold sword intent were suspended on the sword in the form of Tai Chi, Yin Yang sword intent containing terrible pressure fell on man's body.

  This time, due to incomplete defense, the man's body was directly split in half, and blood spurted out, spilling all over the surrounding land.   

  The remaining person's face was pale, as if he realized that he could not escape death. Then a trace of cruelty appeared on his face. He took out three pitch-black spheres and threw them at Shen Qingluo who was casting a spell.

  Seeing that the situation was not right, Xia Jinxi quickly swing her sword, sword energy came out like a line of knife to strike but only had time to hit two of them.

  At this moment, a deafening roar was heard, and the pitch-black spheres exploded in the air, and a large amount of black smoke came out from them.

  At this moment, the next golden sword had been condensed and chopped down on the head of the last enemy with a distorted face.

  After performing the Tianyuan Yanjin Jue in succession, Shen Qingluo's spiritual power was greatly consumed. Seeing that the flying pitch-black spheres were about to reach her, she circulated her spiritual power and quickly controlled her body to retreat quickly.

  The spheres fell to the ground with a bang, and another thick black smoke came out from them.

  Shen Qingluo immediately blocked her sense of smell with her spiritual power, and at the same time took out a second-level defense talisman to activate it, supporting a defensive halo around her body.

  The next moment, the black smoke spread in front of her body. When it came into contact with the defensive light circle, a sizzling sound kept coming out. This black smoke was actually highly corrosive!

  Shen Qingluo was slightly startled and immediately looked at her friend.

  In the distance, Xia Jinxi was retreating while continuously performing Yin Yang sword intent, although it was effective that black smoke cleared when touched by it, but in the end the scope of attack is too narrow. The golden shield had not been sacrificed yet and could not be used at the moment. The defensive light circle on her body flickered and was on the verge of breaking.

  She detonated two spherical objects in advance, which were in the center of the black smoke. If she had not reacted very quickly, the consequences would be disastrous.

  Realizing that her friend was in danger, Shen Qingluo did not hesitate at all and flew directly to the area with the thickest black smoke. At the same time, she took out another second-level defensive talisman.

  After a moment, she came in front of Xia Jinxi, and the talisman in her hand was instantly activated and attached to her friend. The defensive light circle that was originally flickering instantly stabilized.

  "Go! Stay away from the coverage area of ​​black smoke!"

  The two retreated quickly, but the speed of the black smoke was extremely fast, almost synchronized with them.

  Shen Qingluo took out all the remaining four second-level defense talismans, held two in the palm of her right hand, and gave two to her friend.

  The black smoke corroded very quickly, and the sizzling sound kept coming to her ears.

  Not long after, the two of them activated a talisman each.

  It was obviously not going to work this way, so Shen Qingluo decided to take a risk. She slowed down, pinched her hands, and quickly performed the Silent Fire Art.

  A raging fire appeared in an instant, and the moment it came into contact with the black smoke, the fire suddenly decreased.

Seeing this, Xia Jinxi continue performing Yin Yang sword intent clearing black smoke in sight until she exhausted all of her spiritual energy.

  Shen Qingluo poured out two top-grade Qi-enhancing pills and swallowed them. After the pills entered her stomach, a very rich spiritual energy surged into her meridians.

  The spiritual power that was about to be exhausted was instantly replenished. As she continued to perform the spell, the fire rose again, forming a countervailing force with the black smoke.

  After a long time, the raging fire began to slowly spread outward, swallowing the surrounding black smoke.

  This move worked!

  Shen Qingluo, who realized this, was slightly moved and accelerated the use of the spell.

  Soon the raging fire devoured the black smoke that filled the area around her and her friend. At this moment, the two were finally safe!

"Are you alright, Qingluo?" Xia Jinxi asked while panting from depleted spiritual energy.

"I am alright, Jinxi, I still have a pill to replenish my spiritual energy."

  However, the black smoke was not completely cleared, and Shen Qingluo began to control the raging fire and slowly moved towards the center.

  At the same time, several miles in the sky, on a cloud condensed by spiritual power, three Taisheng Sect masters with unfathomable auras were staring at everything happening below.

  Among them, a female cultivator with a cold face slowly said: "The gold and fire attribute skills displayed by this junior are both heavenly, and I have never seen them before. The opportunity is not small, and the character is also very good. She is a promising talent!"

  The old man with a fairy-like appearance nodded in agreement, "And the junior with the ice and wood spirit root, although her strength is slightly worse than that of the junior with the gold and fire spirit roots, she is also very good talent that can already condense two type sword intent before building foundation. Among the new disciples who joined the sect this year, the most outstanding performances belong to these two."

  The slightly shorter man with white hair and a childlike face thought of something, and his face was not worried, "Daoyi Sect recently announced to the outside world Found the girl of luck in Lingyun World, claiming that the power lies in his sect, hum, how shameless, I sent a clone to secretly investigate, the so-called girl of luck does have a good talent for cultivation, but now she is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and her relationship with her master seems a little strange, there is always a feeling that I can't explain."

  The cold-faced female cultivator spoke again: "There is no final conclusion for everything in the world, and everyone's luck will not remain unchanged. I have a vague premonition that in the future, this junior with dual spiritual roots of gold and fire will not be worse than the girl of luck."
