Stepping onto her Flying Sword, Su Bai stood with her hands clasped behind her back.
Her eyes gazed out at the boundless sea.
Having just made a Breakthrough, she was in a good mood.
She deliberately slowed down a bit.
"Now, the path of Cultivation is becoming more and more promising!"
"Joy!"
Su Bai couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
Suddenly.
An ill-timed sweet laugh sounded in Su Bai's ear.
"Oh? I wonder what this Fellow Daoist is so happy about; would you care to share?"
"!"
The voice was so close.
Su Bai slowly turned her head.
Before her stood a graceful young woman in a black gauze dress.
Her fair skin contrasted with the black, further highlighting her beauty.
The only items of different color on her attire were two emerald jade bracelets on her wrists, a golden bell anklet on her left ankle, and a silver bell anklet on her right foot.
She wore a faint smile, but her eyes held an endless coldness.
At such close proximity, Su Bai hadn't sensed her at all.
Core Formation True Person!
Su Bai was very familiar with this feeling; she had felt it from Elder Wang Ming of Green Bamboo Sword Sect Peak.
Moreover, this woman felt even more dangerous than Elder Wang Ming to Su Bai.
She was at least a Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator!
Facing the woman's inquiry.
Su Bai forced a smile, stretching her lips slightly.
"Haha, I am merely greatly pleased that my Cultivation has recently made some progress."
"I apologize for disturbing you, Senior."
After speaking, Su Bai was about to slow down her speed again.
But what made one break out in a cold sweat was this:
No matter if Su Bai flew slower or faster.
The black-dressed woman always watched her with a beaming smile.
Su Bai subconsciously clenched her fist.
She felt a bit of pressure.
How did she suddenly get targeted by someone like this?
"Hahahaha, little one, you are truly interesting. Look at your face, it's so stiff with nervousness."
Seeing Su Bai's appearance, the black-dressed woman laughed even more happily.
"Haha, Senior is joking."
Su Bai could only reluctantly agree.
But Su Bai's attention had already shifted to her forearm.
Currently, the only item on her that could potentially harm a Core Formation True Person was the nameless Immortal Sword Fragment!
She had obtained this fragment from the Treasure Distribution Rock in the second world opened by the myriad realms cauldron.
Although she had never been able to refine it.
However, using the Sword Nurturing Art had established a slight connection between Su Bai and this Immortal Sword Fragment.
She could barely use it for one attack.
But once she attacked.
Her Sword Nurturing Art would also be abandoned midway.
It was Su Bai's last trump card.
Looking at the mysterious black-dressed woman beside her, Su Bai said with a forced smile:
"Does Senior have anything else?"
The black-dressed young woman looked at Su Bai with a smile, gently shaking her head.
"I just happened to see you and found you somewhat interesting."
"You don't have to keep calling me Senior. My name is Lian Youzhi; what is yours?"
Lian Youzhi scrutinized Su Bai from head to toe.
Her gaze seemed to want to see through Su Bai.
Su Bai braced herself and replied:
"I am Su Bai."
"Su Bai? Such an ordinary name."
"Haha..."
Su Bai didn't know how to respond.
After all, the initiative wasn't with her.
"Hmm, I observe that you emerged from that small island, your Cultivation restrained. Although your Realm is at Foundation Establishment Early Stage, your Foundation is solid. However, seeing your physical body's Qi and blood like a rainbow, you must also be practicing Body Refining, I presume."
Lian Youzhi's insight was sharp.
She immediately saw that Su Bai was skilled in the Breath Concealment Art.
She also saw that Su Bai's Body Refining was very strong.
Su Bai hated the feeling of being seen through.
But she didn't show any displeasure.
Instead, she put on an expression of admiration.
"Senior is right; I have a slight understanding of Body Refining."
However, upon hearing Su Bai's words.
Lian Youzhi pouted her lips slightly, a hint of displeasure on her face.
"I told you not to call me Senior."
At that instant, Lian Youzhi released some of her aura.
Forcing Su Bai to stop in mid-air.
Instantly, Su Bai's back was drenched in cold sweat.
She had almost thought that Lian Youzhi was about to make a move.
Lian Youzhi watched.
"It's a pity you're a bit too weak, otherwise I would have captured you and refined you directly into a Magical Artifact Corpse."
Upon hearing this.
Su Bai's heart cried out in alarm.
This person is an Evil Cultivator!
Just knew she wasn't someone good!
Just as Su Bai was thinking about how to slip away.
Lian Youzhi covered her face with one hand and gently pointed at Su Bai with the other.
"How about this, you take one of my palm strikes. If you don't die, I'll give you a treasure, how about it?"
Su Bai had no right to refuse.
Because as soon as Lian Youzhi finished speaking.
The surrounding Spiritual Qi had already begun to gather towards them.
As for what would happen if she couldn't withstand the palm strike.
Besides death, there was no other outcome.
Su Bai instantly unleashed all her power and fled into the distance.
As for attacking Lian Youzhi.
The two sides were simply not on the same level.
If she escaped quickly, even beyond Lian Youzhi's Divine Sense range.
Su Bai still had a glimmer of hope.
But as soon as Su Bai turned and fled.
She found her speed to be very slow!
Ridiculously slow!
She was being restrained!
Lian Youzhi was merely casting a Spell to attract the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
As a result, Su Bai was also attracted along with the surrounding Spiritual Qi!
And the absorbed Spiritual Qi slowly gathered in the air, forming a golden palm print.
The palm print had clear lines and numerous inscriptions floating on it.
What kind of Spell is this?!
Su Bai's face was filled with horror.
Immediately after.
"Blood Burning Spell!"
"Blood Escape Technique!!!"
"Floating Cloud Shadowing Step!!!!"
She used all her life-saving secret arts.
She finally broke free from the pulling force.
Watching Su Bai break free from the Spiritual Qi's restraint and transform into a beam of blood-light, flying into the distance.
"Eh~"
Lian Youzhi let out an exclamation of interest.
Immediately after.
She didn't care if the Spell had finished accumulating.
She simply aimed a palm strike at Su Bai's distant back.
"Five Spirit Seal · Gold!"
As her voice fell.
The golden palm flew towards Su Bai.
It continued to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi and grow larger as it flew.
Su Bai hadn't fled far.
When she was already locked onto by this Spell.
She felt the pressure on her body growing stronger and stronger.
Without any hesitation.
She threw out all the low-grade Magical Artifacts left in her Storage Pouch to self-detonate!
Then, in one breath, she threw out dozens of second-tier Talismans.
And that wasn't all.
Su Bai's posture became a defensive embrace.
Her Qi and blood surged, and elephant and Dragon forms appeared on both sides of her body.
At the same time, Spiritually Qi-transformed Flying Swords, a full fifty of them, encircled her body.
Immediately after, these Flying Swords merged together under Su Bai's control.
Forming a giant Flying Sword.
"Spirit Control Giant Sword Technique!"
At this moment, she had used all her conventional means.
A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
If even this didn't work.
She wouldn't hesitate any longer; even if it aroused suspicion, she would immediately use the myriad realms cauldron to escape!
First were the Magical Artifacts Su Bai abandoned.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, they struck the golden giant palm, but had no effect on it whatsoever.
Then came the second-tier Talismans Su Bai used.
Golden swords and golden blades filled the sky.
Countless swirling winds and leaves.
Interspersed with powerful water spikes and earth blocks.
An ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator would not fare well under such an attack; being able to leave a complete corpse would be considered impressive.
But facing these attacks.
The golden giant palm still could not be stopped from advancing.
