Sigeru suffered severely from the scorching, let out a heroic shout to the sky, and then collapsed to the ground!
Siger Meiruo fell to the ground, helplessly watching the scene before her, warm tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. In her blurred vision, she seemed to see the Flower Beast striding towards her...
"Hehehehe..."
The Flower Beast crouched down, extending its thick claws towards Siger Meiruo.
"Ugly creature, your opponent is me!"
With a reprimanding shout, Xige Zhuxue's charming figure suddenly floated towards the Flower Beast.
The Flower Beast's ears twitched, and it swiftly turned its head!
It saw Xige Zhuxue with frost-like determination on her face, a water-blue, lightweight soft sword appearing in her hand. The soft sword swung left and right at high frequency, creating a buzzing sound that pierced the eardrums in the air!
The Flower Beast's eyes widened, momentarily stunned by Xige Zhuxue's explosive figure. Its eyes reddened as it charged towards her, the wound inflicted by Siger Meiruo still gushing blood!
Xige Zhuxue frowned, the starlight in her eyes flickered away, as her left hand, hidden behind her back, suddenly pushed forward, precisely pressing onto the hilt of her soft sword! The blue water ripple, long in preparation, instantly surged into the sword, and as the sword rotated sharply, it sprayed an incredibly dense white mist all around!
The mist spread, yet the Flower Beast continued to charge forward with abnormal excitement, a filthy drool flowing from its mouth before being sucked back with a snort!
Suddenly, a graceful silhouette appeared in the white mist, no, it should be two!
Xige Zhuxue was below, Su Chen was above, with a blue whirlwind at his feet, his whole being propelled forward like a majestic roc, the bloodlight sword in his hand slashing down at an incredibly domineering angle!
The Flower Beast finally saw the situation clearly, but it was unable to discern who was attacking it, momentarily stunned in place. In that brief moment, Su Chen descended from high above like a startled swan, the bloodlight sword arrogantly striking down from midair!
"Wind Dragon Slash!"
The Wind Shadow Seven Techniques consists of seven forms, the first three each comprising three sword moves aimed at seamless flow; the latter four focus on combining sword moves with wind elemental characteristics. This Wind Dragon Slash is the fourth form, emphasizing the perfect harmony of wind pressure and "slash" moves. The first time Su Chen used Wind Dragon Slash against an enemy, it was as if he had divine assistance, his whole body glowing with a brilliant blue light!
The Flower Beast spewed a ball of fire from its mouth, then fearlessly raised its arms to block! Clearly, it felt a tremendous threat from Su Chen's aura!
With a resounding clang, the bloodlight sword cleaved the fire, the immense wind pressure penetrated inside, forcibly dispersing the surging water and fire energy ready to burst forth!
The sword showed no signs of stopping, continuing to slash down fiercely after cutting through the flames! Simultaneously, Xige Zhuxue's soft sword attacked forward like a serpent, wrapping unexpectedly around the Flower Beast's neck!
Green light, red light, blue light, instantly dyed the swamp a brilliant palette. Amidst the fierce howling wind, echoed the Flower Beast's bone-chilling, wretched cries!
The wind gradually faded, the dust settled, and the brilliant light vanished.
The Flower Beast looked incredulously at its blood-drenched arms, its eyes slowly moving to Xige Zhuxue. The soft sword, seemingly delicate and without an ounce of attack power, had been retracted, but its neck now bore a terrifying sword scar about two inches deep! Blood spurted like a fountain, swiftly dyeing the ground a deep red...
"Ah..."
The Flower Beast couldn't utter a scream, its murky eyes swirling, its unwilling gaze still roving over Xige Zhuxue's explosive body. It only realized at the moment of its downfall not every woman could be trampled at will.
Siger Meiruo hurriedly ran towards Xige Yun, while the others who had fallen earlier also struggled to their feet. They bore more or fewer scars left by the Flower Beast.
Su Chen exchanged a glance with Xige Zhuxue, then also walked towards Siger Meiruo.
Having survived the calamity, Little Moustache looked relieved, though mixed with some guilt. Had it not been for his suggestion, the other side wouldn't have suffered such severe losses. Luckily, no one was sacrificed.
He walked towards the corpse of the Flower Beast, the injuries he sustained seemed trivial compared to the imminent wealth.
Unlike ordinary fourth-level Spirit Beasts, the Flower Beast's body was almost entirely treasure, its market price had been hyped up to tens of thousands of Gold Coins, and even if he splits thirty percent to the other party, he could still gain the vast majority of the benefits.
Without hesitation, he wielded his knife to cut off various precious organs from the Flower Beast, pocketing them. When he finally extracted the Spirit Pearl, he couldn't help but take an extra glance but decided to uphold his promise. Moments ago, he had witnessed the combined strength of Su Chen and Xige Zhuxue, knowing he couldn't match them even at full power.
"Little brother, here's the Flower Beast's Spirit Pearl for you!"
Little Moustache supported another young man with one hand, and threw the cleaned Spirit Pearl to Su Chen with the other.
Su Chen caught it, weighing it in his hand, then passed it to Xige Zhuxue, "You take it, I don't need it."
Xige Zhuxue giggled teasingly, "Is this your token of love for me?"
Su Chen thought to himself, is this even possible, you're really something.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter who I give it to, do you still think it's a love token?"
"Ah, what a little playboy, sister's done with you~" She giggled, walking over to help Xige Yun onto Siger Meiruo's back, Su Chen glanced at Sigeru, walking over somewhat reluctantly.
"I don't need you to carry me."
Sigeru gritted his teeth deeply, frowning, shoving away Su Chen's outstretched hand with a face full of pain and anger.
Su Chen shrugged towards Siger Meiruo, who shook her head slightly, saying nothing more. But, Su Chen seemed to catch a hint of unhappiness in her eyes.
Is she blaming him for not taking action sooner, causing Xige Yun to be seriously injured?
Just then, Little Moustache and his group of five also came over. He and another young man were slightly injured, while the three younger boys were covered with bruises, helping each other along, looking rather bedraggled.
"Thank you all for your assistance in helping to hunt this precious Flower Beast. I will keep my promise and give you thirty percent of the Gold Coins from the sale." Little Moustache said with a guilty expression.
"We don't need the Gold Coins, just hope that next time we meet you, we're not enemies." Siger Meiruo said somewhat coldly. She was carrying the unconscious Xige Yun, seemingly regretting the previous decision.
Little Moustache apologized even more, "I'm sorry for causing you such great losses. I, Lieyan Stone, promise here, never to be enemies with you in the future, or may the heavens strike me down."
Siger Meiruo nodded faintly, then gave Xige Zhuxue a signal with her eyes, indicating it was time to leave.
But Little Moustache, sharp-eyed, immediately spoke, "Miss, since we're all injured, why not travel together? We will absolutely bear no malice, and traveling together means we can look out for each other."
Siger Meiruo frowned slightly, and upon seeing this, Little Moustache quickly offered a conciliatory smile, "I know a good place, very suitable for us to calmly heal. If you're willing, please follow me."
He quickly walked to the front, leading his teammates out of the swamp.
Siger Meiruo hesitated for a moment, glanced at the unconscious Xige Yun on her back, then sighed helplessly, "Let's follow them."
A group of them set out on their journey, soon leaving the Demon Swamp behind. On the way, they traveled and rested, maintaining peace. But as night fell, a hint of worry crept onto Siger Meiruo's face.
The Forest of Death is not frightening during the day, but it's the night that is terrifying. Once night falls, many spirit beasts and even unknown creatures come out to prowl. It's said that those who survive fifteen days of training here will achieve great things once they return.
Finally, after several hours of travel, they arrived at a scenic, beautiful lakeside. By this time, night had fully descended, and it was difficult to discern anything in the surrounding darkness.
Gazing at the shimmering lake before him, Siger Meiruo's eyes lit up as she murmured, "What is this place?"
"Hehe, it's the Sun and Moon Lake. I've been here before. It's said that the spiritual energy here is more than five times higher than elsewhere, not only conducive to healing and recovery, but with regular training here, it inadvertently enhances absorption of spiritual energy from the heavens and earth." Little Moustache patiently explained.
Siger Meiruo nodded, taking out a piece of square cloth from her bag, she placed Xige Yun on the grass. "We'll rest here tonight, and set off again early in the morning."
