Chapter 91

After a series of setbacks, Wu Fa almost forgot that Chu He was at the Qi Refinement stage, mistaking him for a powerful expert who was superior to himself. This made him lose much of his fighting spirit.

Seeing the other party use his essence blood to activate a treasure-grade talisman, his heart skipped a beat. His first reaction was not to advance against the tide but to flee to one side, trying to avoid being locked onto by Chu He’s spiritual sense.

To seek a glimmer of hope, he shouted, “Wait, let’s talk this out...”

Unfortunately, he forgot about Xiao Bai beside him. The little guy didn’t care what he said and seized the opportunity to deliver a powerful blow.

Xiao Bai’s cold light broke through the gray light behind him, quickly freezing him in place.

Then, the Wood Spirit Thunder struck, forcefully breaking through the gray light in front of him. The remaining force threw him up and slammed him heavily into a nearby pavilion.

Chu He released a Wood Spirit Thunder, not daring to say it could knock down a higher-stage innate realm cultivator with a magical treasure. To prevent any mishaps, he rapidly formed seals with his hands, generating one ice bird and fire bird after another.

Wu Yuanming, who was observing from a distance, wiped his eyes and then drew in a cold breath: This guy is too monstrous, even capable of defeating a higher-stage Qi Refinement stage disciple of the Hundred Toxins Sect.

However, besides being shocked, he was more envious: Who knows what kind of luck the brat had, to pick up such a powerful spirit beast.

As he marveled, the ice birds and fire birds Chu He released fiercely exploded where Wu Fa had fallen. The remaining half of the pavilion was also shaken apart, leaving a mess.

Chu He didn’t know how many ice birds and fire birds he had released, stopping only when his internal spirit energy was almost depleted. Then he took out a Cultivation Essence Pill and swallowed it.

Seeing this, Wu Yuanming and the others sighed again: Monster! Taking pills like drinking water, not afraid that the dantian and meridians can’t handle it.

Chu He led the medicinal force through a full cycle, restoring much of his spirit energy and stabilizing his injuries. He then activated the Eight Trigram Shield and the magical robe on his body, and formed a few ice birds and fire birds around him, cautiously approaching the ruins.

Not knowing whether Wu Fa was alive or dead, he needed to take necessary precautions. Otherwise, any strike from a higher-stage innate realm cultivator could severely injure or even kill him.

The place had been bombed to ruins by Chu He, almost flattened. Wu Fa’s body was half-buried in the rubble, and his breathing seemed more out than in, indicating he had little fighting power left.

To be safe, Chu He had Xiao Bai give him another cold light from a distance. Then, he picked up a large brick and smashed it down, causing Wu Fa, who had no magical light or true essence to protect him, to bleed profusely. The little guy imitated him, picking up small bricks and smashing them down, and the two of them had a good time.

However, Chu He still had a conscience. Before approaching, he had Xiao Bai give Wu Fa another cold light, freezing his wounds to prevent him from bleeding to death.

All of this made Wu Yuanming and the others in the shadows exclaim how ruthless he was.

Wu Fa, after another cold light, seemed to have lost his last breath, lying still like a dead man. Only then did Chu He feel reassured enough to search him.

Seeing Chu He’s skilled looting technique, Wu Yuanming and the others felt goosebumps and a chill: To be so proficient, it was clearly not the first time he had done this.

At that moment, they had already labeled Chu He as a dangerous individual, deciding to avoid him as much as possible in the future. Especially Wu Yuanming, who even regretted being too harsh earlier, thinking he could have just应付应付上面的就行了 (dealt with it casually).

“Bang!” Suddenly, the array gate shimmered with light, and a figure stumbled in.

Chu He turned to see that it was precisely Immortal Xuanbing.

This formidable real person was in a dire situation. His face was covered in a layer of gray mist, and there were bloodstains at the corners of his mouth. His magical treasure had transformed into a snow-white long sword in his hand, no longer as agile as before.

A real person’s spiritual sense could finely examine everything within a hundred feet. He immediately discovered Chu He and Wu Fa, who was being dragged by the leg.

Wu Fa was the most capable subordinate of Real Person Dujin, and Xuanbing recognized him.

Seeing this scene, he exclaimed, “Hmm,” in great surprise: Wu Fa was a higher-stage innate realm expert, yet he had fallen here, and it seemed the one who defeated him was just a small cultivator at the Qi Refinement stage.

Suddenly, there was a loud “Boom!” The entire protective array began to wobble, layers of talisman patterns emerging from the magical light, forming rolling waves.

“Xuanbing, why are you acting like a turtle, not daring to fight anymore? Is this how the elders of Green Spirit Mountain behave? Cough, cough.” Real Person Dujin’s slightly hoarse voice drifted in from outside.

However, after saying this, Dujin’s breath also became constricted, and he couldn’t help but cough twice. Although he had used a secret method that consumed his lifespan to defeat Xuanbing, he had also been hit by a Xuanbing sword intent, leaving him seriously injured.

Dujin had been stuck at the middle-stage Core Formation realm for many years, desperately seeking an opportunity. He had obtained an unnamed fragment by chance, which he revered as a rare treasure. A few days ago, he had a lead on Chu He, which made him ecstatic. Today, he was willing to pay a great price to secure it, which was not surprising.

At the real person realm, one could live for at least three hundred years, and those with deeper cultivation could reach five hundred. Although it wasn’t eternal life, it was still precious and rare.

Xuanbing hadn’t expected him to be so ruthless, willing to pay over twenty to thirty years of his lifespan to activate a blood-burning secret technique. This left Xuanbing in shock, resulting in a mutual defeat.

Although it was a mutual defeat, Dujin still had the upper hand. He was only severely injured by the sword intent, still retaining about thirty to forty percent of his fighting power. Xuanbing, on the other hand, was hit by Dujin’s five-stage dove poison, which would become more troublesome over time, even threatening his life, not to mention his remaining fighting power.

Hearing this, Xuanbing’s face turned angry, but he chose to leave, not falling for Dujin’s provocation. Knowing that the dove poison in his body was extremely fierce, even though he had taken a large number of cleansing pills, there was little improvement, and his true essence was rapidly depleting. If he turned back to fight, he would likely be reduced to ashes. If he couldn’t see the gravity of the situation, he would truly be unworthy of being a real person.

“Go!” A powerful force came from a distance, pulling Chu He in.

Even with only one or two parts of his strength, a real person’s power was still immense. Chu He, who was seriously injured and already weak, couldn’t resist. Fortunately, he calmed Xiao Bai’s emotions with his mind, or else it would have released a few cold lights.

“Uncle Xuanbing, take me!” Wu Yuanming and a few disciples rushed out from the shadows, shouting loudly.

But Xuanbing’s speed increased, and he was already a hundred feet away, as if he hadn’t heard them.
