Chapter 325: 325, [Demon Blade: Bodhisattva’s Hoar] (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Yin Tian’s scythe, like the reaper’s blade, was strange and powerful.
As it moved through the air, its speed was so fast that it seemed almost impossible.
It wasn’t just fast, it was almost as if it was traversing space!
One moment it was there, and the next, it had already reached Mao Nanbei’s side.
The scythe swung from behind, aiming for Mao Nanbei’s waist.
The black glow was like a black hole, distorting the surrounding space to an extent.
This was the power of a level 70 and above!
Mao Nanbei was unable to evade!
Unless she could disappear into thin air, there was no way she could dodge this uniquely shaped scythe!
The black glow instantly touched Mao Nanbei’s back, the twisted space seemed to tear and swallow everything…
In a flash, a mysterious golden ripple spread out in the air and obscure characters appeared around Mao Nanbei, guarding her firmly.
“Thank goodness for the Immortal Talisman that third brother sent.” Mao Nanbei thought to herself.
Before she left the mountains, third brother gave her a talisman, told her to carry it on her body, saying that it could save her life or help her escape in critical moments.
Mao Nanbei was very thoughtful in this respect, she took the talisman without any arrogance, and carefully carried it inside her outer garment, close to her back.
Of course, this might have been because she had been getting into trouble all the time and knew that she needed something to save her life.
However, because Mao Nanbei had been getting into trouble all the time, the senior brothers and sisters in the back mountain would only give her life-saving items, but they would never give her weapons to kill enemies.
Mao Nanbei was already quite powerful. Giving her offensive Immortal Talismans would risk causing havoc.
Lifesaving was enough. If anything more happened, third brother would descend from the mountain to help her handle the aftermath.
The golden, obscure characters circled around Mao Nanbei, causing Yin Tian to frown slightly. He swung his scythe again, ripping through the space to reach her neck, but was blocked solidly by the golden characters.
A serious expression crept onto Yin Tian’s face.
“The creator of this talisman must at least be at the seventh boundary peak, and possibly even the eighth!” He inferred.
In actuality, the Immortal Talisman that third brother gave to Mao Nanbei incorporated the effect of the Teleportation Seal. It was a multi-purpose, top-tier Immortal Talisman.
Not only could it provide a shield for a certain amount of time, but it could also help her escape long distances.
After all, being able to resist attacks is useless. The talisman had a time limit, and she also needed to be able to escape.
If Mao Nanbei carried Lu Xun and the others, their speed might not be enough to escape.
Because the talisman included a fleeing command, the difference between many people and a few was significant.
This is why she chose to cover their retreat, rather than use the Immortal Talisman to flee with everyone.
But if it’s just her, if she turned around and left now, even with Yin Tian’s power, he definitely would not be able to catch up to her.
She tried to move in the opposite direction to create a gap between Yin Tian and Lu Xun.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t intend to attack her, instead, he started to pursue Lu Xun.
“Why is he so fixated on my little junior brother? Is my head not as valuable as his?” At such a crucial moment, the proud loli was actually feeling a sense of unfairness.
She misunderstood. The reason Yin Tian did this was that he needed to keep at least one of them.
Chasing after Mao Nanbei was meaningless because he would never catch up.
So, he might as well continue pursuing Lu Xun.
If Mao Nanbei turned back, he would kill her, if she fled far away, then he would kill Lu Xun!
This was the right choice.
Based on the current information, he recognized that Mao Nanbei was also a disciple of their master.
Those cat ears were too iconic.
So, it didn’t matter which one of the two he killed.
Mao Nanbei gritted her teeth and had no choice but turn back and stall for time.
“She didn’t run after all. They have such deep fellow disciple love.” Yin Tian stuck out his tongue, licked his bloody lips and his desire to kill grew increasingly uncontrollable deep inside.
Most of the foreign races were just like him, extremely bloodthirsty!
Actually, at his level, he could faintly understand the reason for the bloodthirstiness of the foreign races.
He knew where the problem lay.
But he didn’t care.
Because he truly enjoyed this feeling of slaughter deep in his bones!
Because of the cultivation method he practiced, his body was cold like a reptile’s.
The sensation of hot blood splashing on his body was simply addictive!
“Let’s see how long your talisman can last.” Yin Tian touched his left eye, his pupil turned dark purple, and his whole aura and demeanor underwent a change.
Mao Nanbei let out a sound similar to the hoarse cry of a cat when its fur stands on end. She held her dagger tightly, refusing to back down an inch.
It’s true that she doesn’t grow up, always retaining the form of a little girl.
Everyone in the backmountain, even Lu Xun, and even Lin Chan, all took care of her, pampered her and indulged her every whim.
But she did see Lu Xun as her junior brother, herself as his senior sister.
She had promised to always protect him, for a lifetime.
“They say when the sky falls, the tall one holds it up.”
“Cut the crap!”
“When the sky falls, your senior sister will hold it up for you!”
“I’ll—slice—your head off with one strike!”
Mao Nanbei, advancing instead of retreating, the short knife in her hand radiated a brilliant light.
Behind her emerged a giant phantom black cat, its back taut, arching like a bow.
The Knife Gang materialized, as though it could tear apart the heavens!
Her knife was made by the Teacher.
Two Demon Blades!
On ordinary days, they were worn on her wrist as a pair of jingling bells, their sound crisp and pleasing.
As for the name of the knives, she chose it herself.
Following the tradition of naming things in the backmountain, she selected one from many possible names.
To be honest, Mao Nanbei could not understand these names; she did not know what they signified, she simply chose the one that looked the most pleasing.
These two Demon Blades were named…
[Bodhisattva’s Hoar]!
Off in the distance, Lu Xun urged the paper crane onward, rushing towards the Western State Border at full speed.
While a behemoth resembling a giant mantis was hot on his tail.
Without any hesitation, Lu Xun elevated his level by two using the Experience Points stored in his panel.
Just to increase the speed!
He was racing against time; the earlier he reached safety, the sooner Mao Nanbei could be safe!
Streams of Sword Qi inside the Sword Sheath poured out like a rainbow, continuously bombarding the creature chasing after them.
At the same time, the Sword Qi not only hindered the creature but also propelled the paper crane faster.
The torrents of Sword Qi obstructed the creature to a certain extent, but they couldn’t hurt it in the least!
Information flashed in front of Lu Xun’s eyes.
“[Name: Unknown.]”
“[Race: Unknown.]”
“[Level: 57.]”
“[Tier: Elite.]”
Against a Level 57 Elite creature, Lu Xun had no chance of winning!
“Damn! This Elite beast could have dominated an area on its own, but it chose to carry someone around instead!” Lu Xun cursed internally.
If it catches up, one swipe of the monstrous mantis’ appendages could slice the paper crane in half, and they would most likely be decapitated!
Lin Chan sat on the paper crane, tightly clutching three pearls.
These were given to her by Elder Gui when she was climbing Dengcang mountain.
Each pearl could block an attack from a Cultivator at the peak of the fifth level.
This fifth level was measured by the standards of the Inner Sect Disciples of Demon Sect, not the ordinary fifth level.
Originally, Lin Chan intended to give the pearls to Lu Xun; in her heart, her master’s life mattered more than her own, but Lu Xun refused to take them.
Unexpectedly, they came in handy today.
At the moment, only two pearls remained; she had just used one to block the creature’s attack.
Lu Xun’s gaze was cold, but most of his concern was for Mao Nanbei.
Right at that moment, a voice resonated in Lu Xun’s mind.
“Lu Xun, fly another mile forward, just one more mile.”
It was…
the voice of the Boundary Monument, Dida!
