"Seeing injustice on the road, drawing the sword to help, nothing more. Fellow Daoist, no need for formalities."
"Wait a moment!"
The female cultivator pointed to the corpses on the ground,
"These Mixed Cultivators had quite a few treasures. Although I killed them all, you can take one."
What kind of treasure is that, and what do you mean by I killed them all, you can take one...
Although it was a bit inexplicable, Huangfu Yi wasn't interested in things that weren't a bit valuable, so he raised his hand,
"Fellow Daoist, take it if you want. I have other urgent matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell."
This female cultivator was always wearing a veil, didn't introduce herself, and was injured. Huangfu Yi naturally saw that she was very wary, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.
She didn't urge him to stay, and watched him leave.
Thus, treating this as a passing episode, Huangfu Yi continued to hurry in the mountains, searching for someone, searching for a dog.
However, after all, seven days had passed, and there were no clues for now. Previously, his journey was hindered by various Spirit Fruits and Immortal Fates, and somehow lost contact with the Pei Family team. Another half a day passed, the sky grew darker, yet he couldn't find any trace...
"Swish, swish, swish!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Then an explosion sound came from the sky. Huangfu Yi looked up to see a streak of green glow flying over his head, followed by a black and a yellow, two rank-smelling Demon Winds, mixed with tiger roars and wolf howls, whistling past overhead. Then they couldn't escape and were knocked down by Demon Fire in mid-air.
Uh, it seems to be her again...
But this time the Demon Wind had a foul smell, clearly indicating demons were causing trouble. As a member of the Human Clan, naturally, Huangfu Yi had to unite against the common enemy without delay. He punched with Gang Fist, leapt swiftly towards the battlefield!
Indeed, it was the veiled lady again. This time she provoked the demons, being attacked from both sides, with a bear on the left and a jackal on the right. Although not as powerful as the previous three cultivators, they were rough-skinned and thick-fleshed, attacking without words, with bear palms and wolf claws slashing strongly.
The female cultivator, having repeatedly encountered danger and injuries, exhausted her energy and could only exert less than thirty percent of her abilities, struggling to cope, facing imminent danger.
Facing demons this time, Huangfu Yi didn't hesitate to hold back, summoned the Sky Soaring Treasure Sword, rushed over, and stabbed!
"Yao Guang Dragon-slaying Sword!"
"Roar!"
Beichen Sword Technique, most powerful in slaying demons and resisting monsters, and besides, the Great Demon was unprepared, having a huge body and couldn't dodge in time. Huangfu Yi darted from behind, launching a three-combo sword attack! Backstab, kidney thrust, heart pierce! Finished off the bear in one move!
"Brother!"
The remaining jackal saw it! Eyes wide open in rage! Unbearable sorrow and anger! It roared, stomping with a foot, leaped through the air with a snap towards Huangfu Yi's throat!
Huangfu Yi twisted the treasure sword, breaking out of the corpse! The sword light flooded, like a blood dragon rising from flat ground! The Sword Wind stormed violently, like blazing wind and intense fire! Twisting the jackal into a mess of swords! Chopping it into blood foam, shattering into chunks!
Seeing Huangfu Yi's clean and decisive move, slaying two demons consecutively, the veiled female cultivator let out a breath, skillfully clasped her hands,
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for helping…"
"Seeing injustice, drawing the sword to help, fellow Daoist farewell."
Huangfu Yi also skillfully recited his lines, even more skillfully slaying demons to take elixirs, dissecting bear gallbladder, jackal's heart, and so on, strung them on the sword. With the Blazing Fire Sword's Secret Technique, he roasted them into skewers, eating while walking.
"Dao, Daoist, wait a moment!"
The female cultivator reacted, quickly stopping him.
"Do you want some too?"
Huangfu Yi offered her a piece of liver.
"I won't eat such things!"
Even through the veil, one could see the female cultivator's face full of disdain, barely suppressing her disgust,
"Fellow Daoist, I am severely injured and in danger, can you please stay a little longer to protect me?"
Huangfu Yi thought for a moment, nodded,
"Indeed, it's unsafe to be alone in the wilderness."
"Thank you…"
"But I have other urgent matters, already delayed for many days, forgive me for not being able to accompany, farewell."
"You! Wait, wait a minute!"
Seeing Huangfu Yi turning to leave, the female cultivator hurried in panic, blocking his path,
"How can you be like this! Can't you help me?"
Huangfu Yi found it inexplicable,
"Miss, I really do have urgent matters. Besides, I see you're a Qi Refiner too, only with a few scratches, shouldn't be a big problem. Just rest a bit, recover your Qi Power, and fly out yourself, isn't that faster?"
The female cultivator frowned,
"Didn't I tell you, I'm injured and have met with disaster! What if evil demons and heretics disturb me while I'm adjusting my breath, what will I do!"
Huangfu Yi didn't understand why she was so agitated, only assuming she was scared, so he patiently explained, pointing to the demon corpse on the ground,
"Here, I killed a bear and a boar, both of different kinds, clearly demon kings from two different regions.
Such Great Demons that can soar the clouds and mist need a hunting ground of at least five hundred miles to be satisfied. They rarely join forces, usually ruling over their own mountains and cultivating individually.
Today, besides them, there shouldn't be any demons within a thousand miles."
The female cultivator stomped her foot,
"Fine, if you don't want to help, just leave! But leave your sword!"
Huangfu Yi was momentarily dumbfounded. Although he heard what she said, his brain couldn't comprehend it, so he confirmed again,
"...What?"
"I want your sword."
The female cultivator laid her cards on the table, her finger pointing upward,
"Just now I didn't see clearly, but now upon closer inspection, such a top-notch flying sword clearly belongs to the Mystic Sect! You can't even perform the Flying Technique, and your Sword Control Skill is mediocre. Yet you have horizontally refined a body full of Gang Fist, clearly making you a person from the Demon Palace! I, as a Mystic Sect disciple, have every reason to reclaim our sect's treasure!
But since you helped me out before, I won't hold you accountable for stealing the sect's treasured artifact, nor will I ask how you got it. I'll just consider it a fortuitous encounter, a lucky find for you. Leave the flying sword for my protector, and you can go."
"Oh, this, this..."
Huangfu Yi was stunned, truly not expecting her to spin such a crooked logic. Even more bewildering was that the other party was genuinely planning to ask for it without any fear of him splitting her with his sword. Really, a country bumpkin who has never seen such a world, he didn't know how to respond for a moment, and after a long time, he could only choke out a sentence,
"You're...just going to take my sword for free?"
Unexpectedly, when the female cultivator saw his hesitation, she got even more dissatisfied, her willow brows rose, her tone rising eight degrees,
"What! Are you harboring other intentions and having improper thoughts about me?
Although you did help me before, don't push your luck!
Let me tell you, I already have a Daoist companion!"
Huangfu Yi wanted to say something but stopped, decided not to, and finally decided still to stay away.
Perhaps this person either had an internal energy error and got possessed by a demon, damaging her brain, or maybe she was hit on the head by the bear's paw just now, causing some mental confusion, brain hemorrhage...
"Whoosh!"
"Hey! Hey, come back!"
Huangfu Yi didn't pay attention, revved up to full throttle and dashed away in a flash, afraid of being chased again by that mad woman.
Who would have thought that this misfortune truly wouldn't end? Not a few miles away, a Qing Guang suddenly slid out from the night sky, falling in front of Huangfu Yi to block him!
Huangfu Yi was startled, thinking it was that brain-damaged woman chasing again, but when he looked closely, this time it was a man.
"Stop! What are you running for at night! Speak! Did you do something guilty?"
This man is also crazy, right...
Huangfu Yi glanced up and down, saw this man in the same style, same outfit with the green robe, same long hair, and couldn't help but feel a chill.
Indeed, mental patients are especially sensitive. As soon as the man's eyes noticed Huangfu Yi's chill, he immediately got nervous and shouted,
"I knew there's something fishy! Have you seen my junior sister! Junior sister! Junior sister! Where are you! Senior brother is here to save you!"
This crazy guy, while shouting, stretched out his hand, and with one palm aimed at Huangfu Yi's Dantian! From the hand wind's stance, it was clear he intended to disperse his cultivation, smash him to a cripple, and control him!
Unfamiliar and yet such a vicious hand!
Huangfu Yi instantly got angry, twisted the flying sword light, and went against the hand wind! Determined to slice off his five fingers for a lesson not to be missed!
"Oh! Good sword!"
Unexpectedly, this senior brother in the green robe indeed had some skill, profound cultivation, excellent movement technique, the palm half-out yet retracted! Just silently drifted backward, seemingly swapping places, easily avoiding Huangfu Yi's Sword Flower, flipped up to land on the tree branch, still clicking,
"Good sword! Good sword! A rare good sword! Junior sister would definitely like it! Hey! I want your sword!"
Then the man flipped his hand and threw a bag of things, with a "crash" it fell to the ground, spilling a ground of silver light, sounding like a pile of silver ingots.
Huangfu Yi was also stirred by the rudeness of this bunch, coldly saying.
"Fuck your mother."
The green-robed senior brother froze, his expression drastically changed, shouting loudly, waving his hand!
"Dare to insult my mother! I'll kill you!"
"Boom!"
Then a blue hand seal blasted out! Overturning the heavens and earth! Crushing like a tidal wave!
