Chapter 134: The Mysterious Swordswoman

Chu Huaizhou watched the terrifying scene of techniques clashing.

His heart was equally frantic.

But he couldn’t let it show. If he, the backbone of the group, lost his composure, then it would truly be over.

“It’s fine, the situation is still under control. Your master is thinking of a way to break the deadlock.”

He retrieved the last treasured eighth-grade pill from his storage ring.

His fingers trembled, unsure whether to use it.

At most, three seconds to resolve the immediate crisis, but if they couldn’t get out, it was still useless.

‘Don’t panic, Chu Huaizhou! There must be a way! He was a Tribulation Transcendence great power, the number one cultivator in the world—how could he die in this wretched little secret realm?’

Despite thinking so, despair still crept into his mind.

But looking at his disciple and the little fox fighting with all their might, he simply couldn’t bring himself to give up.

He could only activate all his senses to their limits, trying to find the true body of this realm’s controller.

Then, with absolute power, he could force the other to open the entrance connecting to the mainland.

But… Chu Huaizhou’s strength at the mid Nascent Soul stage was still far too weak.

At this level of battle, he was no different from Ye Feng at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The danger was beyond words.

For an ordinary cultivator, if exposed to the attacks outside, even the residual waves would kill them countless times.

Chu Huaizhou’s knuckles whitened from the force.

In the end, he lacked experience fighting against extraterrestrial demons.

He was too passive.

If he could return alive this time, he would definitely find a way to study means to counter them!

The tentacles’ attacks grew fiercer, surging like a tide from all directions.

Each one bore different degrees of mutation.

Some were covered in metallic scales, impervious to blades.

Others dripped corrosive mucus that burned the air into acrid smoke.

Meanwhile, those mutated beasts that had burst forth from within their own bellies now seemed like plants rooted in bloody earth.

Crimson tendrils extended from beneath their feet, greedily absorbing the surrounding flesh and blood, causing their bodies to swell.

They became as huge as hills, charging with irresistible force.

Xia Baiqian’s gaze turned cold. She raised her hand and waved.

A rift suddenly split open in the void, and a platinum-white Gu insect descended slowly.

It resembled a celestial silkworm, its white mouthpart and horn accompanied by a clear white flame, dyed in a glaze-like color.

On its back grew six wings, each bathed in a holy radiance, as if it could purify all filth in the world.

This was her only Mahayana-stage Gu insect, and her strongest life-bound Gu—the Celestial Purification Glazed Gu!

“Wuum—”

The moment the Gu insect flapped its wings, space seemed to be cut by invisible blades.

The charging flesh-and-blood aliens didn’t even have time to scream before being instantly slashed into countless pieces.

Each fragment was burned to ashes by the clear white flame before hitting the ground, with no chance of regeneration.

Chu Huaizhou gazed at the holy Gu insect and surprisingly found that it resembled, in some ways, a Gu insect he had given Xia Baiqian a long, long time ago—on her first birthday after she entered the sect.

It was a Foundation Establishment-stage Three-Winged Golden Eye Gu.

An indescribable emotion surged in Chu Huaizhou’s heart.

Could it be that this was Baiqian’s original Gu insect, which had been upgraded all the way to Mahayana stage?

Of course, he couldn’t dwell on it now.

Xia Baiqian swept away all the surrounding skin beasts.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the rock wall above the cave suddenly split open, and a ferocious giant eye burst open!

The eyeball was bloodshot, and deep within its pupil seemed to connect to an endless abyss.

Just one glance made one’s head ache as if splitting, and one’s soul felt torn apart.

“Ugh—!”

“Ugh!”

Xia Baiqian grunted, and the spiritual energy within her suddenly became chaotic.

The Gu insects that had been like an extension of her own arm began to stir restlessly, and some even broke free from her control, turning to attack her!

“Impossible, how could this be?!”

She was shocked. The path of Gu was her foundation. No matter how severe the mutation, her Gu insects should never escape her control!

This loss of control meant that her Dao had shown signs of wavering under that eye’s glare.

Whether it was a hidden danger left from her earlier emotional breakdown or some other reason, she didn’t know.

“Pwah—!”

Before Xia Baiqian could think clearly, a rush of blood surged up her throat.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her face instantly pale as paper.

“Boom—!”

At almost the same moment, a deafening roar came from deep within the cave, and a huge black goat’s hoof materialized out of thin air.

The hoof was wrapped in bloody flesh chains, each chain adorned with twisted, grotesque meat creatures.

With irresistible momentum, the hoof stomped down heavily toward Chu Huaizhou and the others!

“Oh no!”

Chu Huaizhou’s pupils contracted. His hand already reached for the storage ring, ready to swallow the eighth-grade pill and fight desperately.

Sensing the danger, Xia Baiqian quickly threw herself in front of Chu Huaizhou. The platinum Gu insect disintegrated instantly, transforming into an indestructible platinum-glazed circular wave shield.

“Boom—!”

The hoof slammed heavily into the shield, and the immense force made everyone under the shield buckle and bend.

“I still have techniques, it’s okay, it’s okay, meow!”

Bai Li’s expression was extremely panicked, her nine big tails shaking wildly—green, white, orange, blue, gold, pink.

She cast various buffing techniques without restraint, making the platinum shield much sturdier.

They barely managed to withstand the hoof’s attack.

But… they were also suppressed, unable to move.

At that moment, the surrounding skin beasts had gathered another wave of flesh and blood, and they raised their fists to charge.

“Clang—!”

At the critical moment, a dazzling black-gold light shot out from deep within the cave.

Like an immortal descending from heaven, with the might of judgment, it split the goat’s hoof in two!

Even more terrifying, the Dao rhythm contained in the sword light spread along the cross-section.

It directly reduced the hoof to powder, as if it had never existed!

“Whoosh—”

A gentle breeze passed, and a black figure silently stopped in front of Chu Huaizhou.

“Zing—”

She swung a sword upward, and the black-gold sword energy split into countless strands, precisely hitting all the abnormal beasts around.

Chu Huaizhou was stunned.

‘Whoa, who is this? Such style!’

That black figure stood still like an abyss, her high ponytail sweeping a sharp arc in the fierce wind.

The breeze had not dissipated, and the sword intent lingered.

The ahoge on her head stood erect, wrapped in lingering sword energy.

She turned slightly, her ruby-like pupils glowing with intense light in the dim cave.

The natural blush at the corners of her eyes looked like unerased blood stains, making her remarkably charming.

Skin white as snow, eyebrows like paintings, like a lotus in clear water, untouched by dust.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

Her black waist-cinching dress outlined her figure breathtakingly. The full curve of her bust was faintly visible at the collar, while her waist was incredibly narrow.

The slit of the skirt revealed long legs wrapped in thick black pantyhose, and she wore crimson-patterned combat boots.

The longsword in her hand hummed unceasingly, the blade interwoven with black, red, and gold.

The edge shimmered with starlight-like specks, as if a single swing could tear space apart.

It was a top-level spirit treasure named Feihong Night Crimson!
