Chapter 25

The intense red mist gradually thinned, slightly glaring in the golden sunlight of the afternoon.

In the depths of the dense forest, a clear and deep stream seemed even more refreshing amidst the red mist. A small black spirit snake was playing in the babbling stream, its tail swaying. The dragon-subduing mist did not affect it; instead, it absorbed and refined the red mist with each breath, making the white mark on its head shine even brighter. The dragon-subduing mist was concocted using yin-yang spiritual materials, serving as a tonic for the extremely yin spirit snake, without any adverse effects.

Suddenly, the small black spirit snake lifted its head, and a towering water column exploded from the water. A figure soared into the air, none other than Jun Wuming, who had just broken through the ice. At the same time, a golden light dispersed the surrounding red mist, heading straight for where Jun Wuming landed. A golden and a purple figure appeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!! Pervert!!"

Jun Wuming heard a scream and looked at the purple figure in front of him, feeling utterly confused. Where was there a pervert?

"Bold pervert, shameless, to expose yourself in broad daylight." The golden-robed woman's eyebrows furrowed, pulling the purple-robed woman, who was covering her face, behind her. She swung her jade sword, and an invisible sword qi slashed toward the naked youth in the water.

Jun Wuming's face turned slightly red. The intense heat had just torn his clothes, and he only realized it now.

"Please don't attack, ladies. This is a misunderstanding. I am not a pervert!"

His figure turned into a shadow, hurriedly dodging the sword qi. A black light swept up the bundle on the shore, and he activated his magical power.

"Boom!"

Water splashed, and mist rose.

A large cloud of mist instantly rose from under his feet, enveloping Jun Wuming's naked body.

"Then I ask you, was it you who released the red mist?" The golden-robed woman, fearing a misunderstanding, asked.

"Why are you wasting time with him, Sister? Look at this pervert, naked and lecherous, clearly not a good person."

A clear, slightly angry voice sounded from behind, and she formed a seal with her hands, shouting, "First Form of the Purple Jade Sword Technique, Green Jade Form!"

A purple light flashed, and a purple long sword transformed into a shower of sword shadows, enveloping the mist. Jun Wuming, now dressed, broke through the mist and called out, "Ladies, this is a misunderstanding. Please allow me to explain!"

He pointed casually, and a black light shot out.

"Clang"

The sound of metal clashing echoed. The black light and the purple light collided, sparks flying, instantly dispelling the purple sword glow.

He deftly deflected the purple long sword. The force on the sword was not great; only one of the sword shadows was real, the rest were illusions, posing no threat to Jun Wuming.

He glanced at the two women, slightly amazed. These two women were among the most beautiful he had ever seen. The golden-robed woman had clear eyes and a graceful demeanor, her long black hair adding to her noble elegance. The golden peony on her forehead added a touch of maturity.

The purple-robed woman was slightly more youthful, but her face was delicate, and her figure was petite and graceful, with a touch of cuteness in her every move.

"Sword form, change."

As he focused, the purple long sword, which he had deflected, transformed into a stream of light, slashing toward him again.

Seeing the purple-robed woman attack, the golden-robed woman's mind raced, and she also launched an attack. This shameless person would not be allowed to talk his way out.

A golden spiritual light swirled in her hand, forming a golden peony. She waved her hand, and a shower of golden stars rushed toward Jun Wuming.

Seeing this, Jun Wuming's face darkened, and he was secretly angry. Since these two women were unreasonable, he did not need to hold back. He summoned the Yinji Sword, which turned into a black streak, aiming for the distant purple-robed woman. Her cultivation was not as high as the golden-robed woman, so he decided to deal with her first.

Seeing Jun Wuming attack, the two women were even more convinced he was not a good person. They increased their attacks, their magical powers surging, forming a golden and purple glow like a blazing sun. A golden peony flew from their heads, spinning rapidly, and a large amount of golden spiritual light turned into golden swords, sweeping toward Jun Wuming.

Seeing the golden glow, Jun Wuming's heart raced. He activated the Water Sword Technique, turning it into a gentle rain to disperse the golden spiritual light.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

The black light turned into a sword, forming a rain curtain, competing with the golden and purple light in the air. The collision of the sword qi was like fireworks, dazzling and spectacular.

The sword qi was like a stream of light, leaving no gaps. Suddenly, Jun Wuming felt a chill, looked up, and saw a purple sword light suddenly heading for his head. At the same time, an invisible sword qi aimed for his waist.

His face changed, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. These women were truly vicious, trying to kill him over a mere misunderstanding.

His face darkened. Since it was like this, he would not hesitate to be ruthless. He let out a fierce cry, "Black Water Banner! Appear."

A black, vast water light suddenly burst from his chest, enveloping him in a cloud of black water. He took a step, using the Water Step technique to create distance.

"Rain fills the sky, waves surge."

He activated his magical power, turning the babbling stream into a mist, enveloping the surrounding forest. At the same time, he held the Green Shadow Needle, and with a burst of magical power, a green shadow shot out, mixing with the mist.

"Trivial trick, little thief, watch how I deal with you!"

A pleasant, clear voice sounded, and a golden spiritual light swept through the mist, cutting through the Green Shadow Needle. The golden-robed woman smiled contemptuously, "I'll return the favor, try my Cave Yin Finger!" She lightly pointed, and several streams of light, carrying fierce wind, rushed toward Jun Wuming.

He secretly grunted, and the killing intent on his face was evident. He shook his hand, and the Black Water Banner rose into the air, spinning, forming a three-foot black light.

The black light was like a curtain, spinning inch by inch, resembling a black nebula in the sky, continuously rotating.

"Boom! Boom!!"

The finger force burst out, like rain on banana leaves, golden force points blooming in the black light curtain, shaking the air, and creating layers of black waves.

Blocking the fierce finger force, Jun Wuming felt his heart race. The force was astonishingly strong, and the three-foot protective black light around him visibly thinned, almost breaking.

The golden-robed woman's cultivation far exceeded Jun Wuming's. Her body was surrounded by a brilliant spiritual light, her magical power forming a faint golden peony behind her, indicating she was at the peak of the second stage, about to break through to the third stage.

Although Jun Wumen was also at the second stage, his Divine Palace (Furnace) had not yet opened, making his power and cultivation far inferior to the golden-robed woman.

The Divine Palace was divided into nine grades, with the first grade being the highest and the ninth grade being the lowest. Each grade had different qualities and potential, with the lower grades being the weakest, the middle grades being moderate, and the higher grades being the strongest.

Those with lower grades found it difficult to reach high stages, those with middle grades found it hard to achieve divinity, and those with higher grades had a clear path to the Great Dao. Each grade had its unique uses, with the higher grades being more powerful, and the highest grade being called the Supreme Divine Palace.

This woman was about to break through from the peak of the second stage to the third stage, and with Jun Wuming's current means, it was difficult to defeat her.

As for the petite purple-robed woman, Jun Wuming was not worried. Her cultivation was not high, and although her forehead was filled with purple aura, she was only at the initial stage of the second grade, far below Jun Wuming.

This was truly a disaster from the sky, and he was secretly frustrated. His face was slightly bitter, but his hands did not slow down. A vast amount of black magical power from his dantian surged into the black banner, forming a black water curtain to protect him.

Layer upon layer of air currents surged, and purple and golden sword qi continuously struck the black curtain, shaking it.

His face turned pale, and he was secretly angry. His right hand, holding the sword, trembled involuntarily. Although the purple and golden sword qi did not injure him, the aftereffects of the sword qi shook the black curtain, causing him great pain.

After several attempts to activate the Black Water Banner for protection, Jun Wuming felt extremely exhausted. The black magical power in his meridians had been consumed, leaving only a thin layer.

He had a sudden thought, and the black light flashed. He decided to store the Black Water Banner in his dantian.

While Jun Wuming was secretly frustrated, the golden-robed woman saw him withdraw the Black Water Banner and guessed that his magical power was running low.

She smiled contemptuously, waved her sleeve, and golden light bloomed in her hand, forming a shower of golden petals in the air.

At the same time, the purple-robed woman saw her chance and formed a purple flame in her hand. She flicked her fingers, and the purple flame turned into a shower of purple meteorites, burning toward Jun Wuming.

Seeing the two women relentless, Jun Wuming sneered. He thought they truly believed he had no means, and this was the moment he had been waiting for.

Black light surged between his hands, and the Yinji Sword glowed with black light. He lightly touched the sword blade, and a dark red light appeared, making the black light on the sword even stronger. At the same time, he secretly held the black light, and his body shot up.

His figure moved like lightning, turning into a black rainbow, shooting into the sky.

He dodged the golden light rain from above, and without dodging, he charged through the purple flames. A black sword qi, like a rainbow, slashed toward the petite purple-robed woman.

The sword qi turned into a beam of light, continuous and powerful, like a beam of light cutting through darkness, extremely dazzling. It made people shiver and feel a chill.

The petite purple-robed woman was shocked, her face turning pale, and she seemed to be frozen in fear, watching the black-clothed youth, whose body was burning with purple flames, charging toward her.

The golden-robed woman, seeing the black-clothed youth with flames on his body, her face changed drastically. She shouted fiercely:

"You dare!"

"What do I dare not? If you dare to kill me, I dare to kill her!"

He sneered, and the black sword light pierced through the stunned purple-robed girl's abdomen.

"Thud"

A spray of blood fell, and Jun Wuming, still unsatisfied, struck her abdomen with his palm.

With a "bang," he sent the purple-robed girl flying several feet away, sneering. He used the remaining magical power in his palm to activate the Black Water Banner, unleashing its black water power.

A black light flashed, turning into a purple-black streak, diving into the stream.

The golden-robed girl's face turned red with anger, and the golden peony in her hand glowed, forming a golden wave that struck Jun Wuming's black figure as it was about to disappear.

"Boom!" Water splashed, revealing the stream bed.

"Spit"

Stumbling, he spat out a mouthful of blood, Jun Wuming was shocked. He did not dare to stay, and with the last bit of magical power, he fled into the depths of the forest, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"Junior Sister!?"

The golden-robed woman, seeing Jun Wuming flee, did not chase him. She hurriedly turned to check on the purple-robed girl lying motionless on the ground.

A quick glance showed that the purple-robed girl was in a dire state, her face pale, eyes closed, and a steady stream of dark red blood flowing from her abdomen.

Seeing this, the golden-robed girl's face was filled with anger. "Little thief, I will personally capture you and extract your soul to refine it! Only then will my anger be quenched!!"
