Three days later,
It was still that familiar cave. After three days of recuperation and Cultivation, Xiao Li felt that his condition had reached its Peak, and the thin membrane to Breakthrough to a Dou Ling could be broken at any time.
"I'm starting." Xiao Li said to Yun Yun, then took the rising spirit pill.
The rising spirit pill melted upon entering his mouth, forming a warm current that slid down Xiao Li's throat.
Instantly, an extremely powerful energy filled Xiao Li's body.
The powerful energy continuously impacted Xiao Li's Meridians, but Xiao Li's seemingly fragile Meridians were actually very tough. No matter how the rising spirit pill's energy crashed against them, it couldn't shake Xiao Li's Meridians. In fact, Xiao Li didn't feel any pain; instead, he felt quite comfortable.
Do you understand the value of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist who has been nurtured since childhood? Elixirs were almost eaten like meals, and medicinal baths were a small one every three days, a big one every five days.
Yun Yun stood not far from Xiao Li, holding her sword and keeping watch.
Boom—
An extremely powerful energy erupted from Xiao Li's body. The commotion of this fluctuation was quite grand.
"Not good! The commotion of this Breakthrough might attract surrounding Demonic Beasts. I need to go check; I can't let Demonic Beasts disturb Big Brother Xiao Li's Breakthrough."
Yun Yun walked directly out of the cave, holding her sharp sword. As long as a Demonic Beast approached the cave, she would slay it!
Yun Yun was now fifteen years old, with a cultivation of a Two-Star Dou Shi. In less than a year, she had Advanced from a Five-Star Dou Practitioner to a Two-Star Dou Shi, which could be said to be very fast.
This was all thanks to the Elixirs Xiao Li refined, which helped Yun Yun's cultivation improve so quickly.
Roar—
Woo—
Sure enough, the commotion of Xiao Li's Breakthrough eventually attracted some Demonic Beasts.
"Two second-rank Demonic Beasts, one third-rank Demonic Beast, this is trouble!"
Yun Yun gripped her longsword tightly, her expression serious. If they were second-rank Demonic Beasts, she was confident she could kill them, but a third-rank Demonic Beast would be somewhat difficult.
A third-rank Demonic Beast was equivalent to a Great Dou Master. Yun Yun fighting a third-rank Demonic Beast would be a fifty-fifty chance, but with two second-rank Demonic Beasts, equivalent to Dou Shi-level, eyeing her, Yun Yun was under immense pressure.
She also had to control the range of her attacks, otherwise, it would attract more Demonic Beasts.
Roar—
The third-rank Demonic Beast attacked first, heading straight for Yun Yun.
"Wind's Extreme · Falling Kill!"
The longsword in Yun Yun's hand trembled violently, and a thick blue light, the size of an arm, instantly shot out.
Bang—
After the blue light hit the third-rank Demonic Beast, its body was pierced with a large hole, to the extent that its internal organs could be seen.
Roar—
Demonic Beasts have extremely strong vitality. A mere serious injury wouldn't make it flee in a panic. Yun Yun's attack instead enraged it.
"Damn it! My Wind's Extreme · Falling Kill is not yet perfected. If I could compress the wind-attribute Dou Qi to the size of a thumb, this Demonic Beast would have been pierced through by now!"
Yun Yun deeply felt that her Cultivation was still insufficient. After this tribulation, she must Cultivate diligently!
"Wind Spirit Splitting Sword!"
The longsword in Yun Yun's hand suddenly trembled rapidly, then slowly moved, and each time the longsword moved, it would leave behind a sword-shaped afterimage that seemed substantial.
Wind Spirit Splitting Sword, a Cloud Mist Sect Profound Rank Intermediate Dou Technique. Yun Yun could now split into six sword shapes.
As Yun Yun's longsword moved, several energy afterimages slowly appeared and simultaneously attacked the three Demonic Beasts.
These three Demonic Beasts were suddenly bewildered. How did the human on the other side suddenly multiply? And judging by their aura, they were all very strong!
The several afterimages displayed by Yun Yun, along with Yun Yun's main body, all gathered strength and slashed out a blue crescent blade towards these three Demonic Beasts!
A total of seven crescent blades actually Body Integrated during their flight! They formed a giant blue glow about two zhang long, and Yun Yun's several afterimages also dissipated.
Hiss—
The three Demonic Beasts were swept by the blue glow, their bodies directly scattered in pieces, here and there.
"Phew~ If a few more Demonic Beasts like these came, I might not be able to hold on." Yun Yun's pretty face was pale at this moment. First, a Profound Rank Advanced Dou Technique, followed by a Profound Rank Intermediate Dou Technique, Yun Yun's Dou Qi was almost depleted.
Yun Yun took out a jade bottle from her storage ring, opened it, and directly pointed the mouth of the bottle at her mouth, pouring the Qi Recovery Pills inside.
After taking the Qi Recovery Pill, Yun Yun felt the Dou Qi in her body rapidly recover, and her pale pretty face also turned rosy.
Roar—
"More Demonic Beasts!"
Only to see a rather large bear-type Demonic Beast attacking towards the cave!
"A fourth-rank Demonic Beast, the Crushing Rock Bear! This is trouble!"
Yun Yun looked at the Crushing Rock Bear with a solemn expression. A fourth-rank Demonic Beast, equivalent to a Dou Ling expert, two major Realms higher than Yun Yun. How could she fight this?
"Wind's Extreme · Falling Kill!"
The longsword in Yun Yun's hand trembled violently, and a beam of light, even thinner than the blue light she had just displayed, instantly shot out.
Hiss—
The blue light hit the Crushing Rock Bear, but only made a hole in its belly.
"Indeed, a fourth-rank Demonic Beast is not something I can defeat right now." Yun Yun's pretty face turned pale again at this moment. Her Dou Qi had not yet recovered, and she had performed another Profound Rank Advanced Dou Technique, depleting her Dou Qi.
Roar—
The Crushing Rock Bear slammed the ground, then lifted a huge rock and threw it out.
Upon seeing this, Yun Yun was about to use her Flowing Feathers movement technique to dodge, but her overexertion of Dou Qi made her legs go weak.
Yun Yun gritted her teeth and managed to flip her body to barely dodge the huge rock, but the scattered gravel from the rock hitting the ground still struck Yun Yun.
Yun Yun directly crashed into a tree. She only felt a sweetness in her throat and intense pain in her body.
Roar—
The Crushing Rock Bear charged forward fiercely, its eyes red, wanting to completely tear apart the human in front of it.
Yun Yun saw the Crushing Rock Bear charging over and wanted to get up and dodge, but she suddenly felt an intense pain. Yun Yun quickly used her internal vision to check and found that two of her ribs were broken and her right leg was dislocated.
"Am I really going to die this time?" Yun Yun murmured to herself. She still had ambitions unfulfilled: she hadn't led the Cloud Mist Sect to its Peak, and she hadn't become a powerful expert.
At this moment, Yun Yun's will to survive reached its Peak. She suddenly fantasized, would that man come out in time to save her?
Roar—
The Crushing Rock Bear pounced fiercely.
"Nine Tribulation Heavenly Flame Hand!"
A giant purple flame palm struck, directly hitting the Crushing Rock Bear's body, sending it flying several meters away.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Yun Yun. Yun Yun's eyes lit up.
Xiao Li turned around and looked at the somewhat miserable Yun Yun, feeling a pang in his heart. Then he took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and poured out a Elixir.
"This is a Bone Regeneration Pill." Xiao Li directly fed the Bone Regeneration Pill to Yun Yun.
Roar—
The Crushing Rock Bear regained its senses, roared, and charged towards Xiao Li's position again.
"Die!"
Xiao Li picked up Yun Yun's sword with his right hand, then a dense Dou Qi condensed in his left hand, and a purple longsword appeared.
Dou Qi Materialization! A Dou Ling expert!
Xiao Li stomped fiercely, and with both swords overlapped, he slashed towards the Crushing Rock Bear's throat.
Pfft—
The Crushing Rock Bear's head was directly cut off, and blood sprayed out.
"Hmph! A mere newly Advanced fourth-rank bear dares to be so arrogant? Dare to hurt my person, and I'll chop off your bear paw for a drink!"
Xiao Li's sword rose and fell, cutting off the Crushing Rock Bear's paw and digging out its Demonic Core.
The Crushing Rock Bear was an earth-attribute Demonic Beast, and its Demonic Core was an excellent Alchemist Materials. Xiao Li remembered that his cousin Xiao Lie at home cultivated earth-attribute Dou Qi. When he returned home, he would refine some Elixirs for the boys in the family.
Roar—
"What the heck? There's another expert? Run!"
Xiao Li heard an extremely powerful beast roar, and from his perception, he knew this was at least the roar of a fifth-rank Demonic Beast.
Without thinking, Xiao Li directly picked up Yun Yun and ran away.
