Chapter 488: Survival From Despair (Subscription Request)
From the upper half of the body, a ball of fiery red spiritual light the size of a human head shot out, flying towards the distance at lightning speed, and making a shrill cry all the way.
"Your companions have disappeared, how can you survive alone? Let me take you away." Until this time, above the hundred-foot void, there was a slight shake, revealing a middle-aged monk in his forties, with a white face and no beard, high cheekbones, and a gloomy face looking at the soul of the strangely dressed woman flying in the distance.
He pointed at the earth-yellow magic sword from a distance, and the sword shook slightly, and dozens of tiny sword qi broke through the air and caught up with the soul of the strangely dressed woman in the blink of an eye.
The shrill scream stopped abruptly, and after being pierced by dozens of tiny sword qi, the strangely dressed woman was completely annihilated.
This scene made Jiang Yingxue's pretty face pale, but there was no fear in her eyes, but she became more calm.
"Hehe, very good. Seeing me kill these two people, I can still remain so calm. I am considered a rare talent." The middle-aged cultivator put his hands behind his back, and a small khaki sword hovered beside him. He slowly flew to the air in front of Jiang Yingxue.
"Thank you for saving my life, but I don't know your name or which fairy mountain you practice in. When my master comes back later, I can visit you." Jiang Yingxue bowed respectfully to the middle-aged cultivator and said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, you are quite scheming, girl. I heard the conversation between the two people clearly. Your master has been out for training for several years and has not returned. You are the only one left to guard the cave. As long as you open the formation and prohibition, I will spare your life after I have looted the items in the cave. I am just missing a tripod. Seeing that you have excellent aptitude, it is quite suitable." Jiang Yingxue's face changed when she heard this. What is a tripod? Although she has not practiced for a long time, she has heard about it when she was strolling in Leishi Immortal City. This world is still a world of the survival of the fittest. For ordinary mortals, the rich can have three wives and four concubines, but they marry for enjoyment and to pass on their family line, but it is different for cultivators. The higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the lower the probability of giving birth to offspring. Moreover, the life span of the cultivator is long and there is no need to pass on the family line at all. However, this does not mean that the cultivator is selfless and has cultivated away all his needs. On the contrary, since the body functions of immortal cultivators are far superior to those of ordinary mortals, their needs are much stronger than those of ordinary mortals. However, immortal cultivators can suppress their desires through some methods, such as using magic power to extinguish their lust.
Moreover, the way of immortal cultivation is inherently fun. The joy from the soul when the realm is broken through makes immortal cultivators obsessed with it. In contrast, few immortal cultivators are obsessed with physical desires. Even if there are, they will stop at the right time and restrain themselves.
However, some immortal cultivators will not deliberately suppress their desires. Anyway, for them, women are easy to get, and they don’t have to worry about other people’s thoughts.
This kind of immortal cultivators don’t really just want beautiful women. They usually choose those beautiful female cultivators as their cauldrons. On the one hand, they satisfy their desires, and on the other hand, they take the true yin energy of female cultivators during intercourse to reconcile their own magic power, so as to achieve the purpose of improving their cultivation.
This certainly helps to improve the cultivation, but for female cultivators, it is a disaster. The absorption of their own true yin will not only make women weak and sick, have frequent hallucinations, and greatly reduce their cultivation, but in serious cases, their foundation will collapse and they will die.
Of course, the final outcome of the female cultivator who is the cauldron will mostly depend on the male cultivator who collects the essence from her. If he is very satisfied with his cauldron, it is not impossible to save his life, and even go further and become his wife.
Jiang Yingxue knew that if she became the cauldron of this person, it would be worse than death. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lose all hope in her heart and gave up the thought of just one chance.
The golden and red silver hook beside her flashed two eerie lights and went around her neck.
"Silly girl, how can you commit suicide if you are not really in a desperate situation? As cultivators, we must fight to the death even if we are in a dead end, and strive to survive. We must not be discouraged and lose our will to die when we encounter setbacks." A faint voice suddenly sounded from the void.
At the same time, a flash of lightning suddenly broke through the clear void. After the lightning, a short-haired young man with fair skin in his twenties appeared less than a hundred feet in front of the middle-aged cultivator. He was smiling and looking at Jiang Yingxue, whose pretty face was full of surprise.
"Master." When Jiang Yingxue saw Xiao Lin, she could no longer hold back and tears rolled down. She thought she would never see her master again in this life, but she didn't expect that her master would come back in time at her most critical moment.
"My fellow Daoist, you took advantage of my absence to come and plot against my cave. That's fine, but you actually used your Jindan stage to bully a youngster. Your character is really poor." Xiao Lin waved at Jiang Yingxue, then looked at the middle-aged cultivator and said with a gloomy face.
When the middle-aged cultivator saw Xiao Lin, his expression did not change, but he was really surprised. This person obviously practiced the lightning escape method, which was known as the fastest among immortal cultivators. And before this person spoke, he did not notice it at all.
Moreover, after his divine sense swept over, he found that he could not sense this person's cultivation at all, which meant that this person was at least a cultivator in the middle stage of the golden elixir.
This made the middle-aged cultivator uneasy, thinking that he was too unlucky. This person had been away for several years, and he came back just when he came. This was really a coincidence.
"Daoyou misunderstood. I just happened to see two people attacking the formation set up by this girl. It was a bit unreasonable for two people to bully a little girl, so I killed them. And I saw that your disciple had excellent bones and was quite talented in formation at a young age. That's why I couldn't help cherishing her talent and wanted to take her as a disciple. In fact, I had no bad intentions." The middle-aged cultivator bowed to Xiao Lin and said with a smile on his face.
"You're talking nonsense. You were just thinking about taking me in as a cauldron." Hearing this, Xiao Lin hadn't said anything yet, but Jiang Yingxue's pretty face turned pale with anger. She pointed at the middle-aged cultivator with her little hand and said angrily.
"Hehe, my way of taking in a disciple is not very good, but how can I care about a little girl? However, since I know that she is your disciple, I will naturally give up the matter of taking her in. I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave now." The middle-aged cultivator bowed to Xiao Lin and was about to turn around and leave.
"Since you are here, don't leave in a hurry." At this time, Xiao Lin's voice suddenly came, and along with his voice, there was a buzzing sound.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator's face darkened, and he turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you still want to fight with me? I am at the Golden Core Realm after all. Fellow Daoist, don't you think that it is not worth it for you and me to fight for some unfounded misunderstandings?"
The middle-aged cultivator's expression suddenly froze. At this time, he saw that the surroundings were already surrounded by a group of red clouds of several acres in size, and he finally realized that this was not a red cloud at all, but an unknown number of strange spiritual insects.
The reason why Xiao Lin did not take action at the beginning was to wait for the Soul Devouring Fire Gu he raised. After returning to the island, Xiao Lin summoned all the Soul Devouring Fire Gu through his mind.
Before leaving, Xiao Lin placed all the first and second level spiritual herbs he picked in his cave for these little guys to devour. After ten years of breeding, the number of true Soul Devouring Fire Gu reached more than 2,000, and the number of ordinary Soul Devouring Fire Gu reached 100,000.
As it flew up, it formed a fire cloud that covered an area of several acres, with an extremely terrifying momentum.
"So many spiritual insects?" Seeing this scene, the middle-aged cultivator's face turned pale. Without even thinking, the khaki small sword that was rotating around him suddenly burst out with a large piece of khaki spiritual light, instantly wrapping him up and flying out of the island.
It was not that the middle-aged cultivator was afraid of these spiritual insects, but he knew that he was facing a young cultivator who was at least in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and he had already lost more than he won. In addition, with these strange monster insects all over the sky, he was basically doomed to fail.
That's why he chose to retreat and take the initiative to retreat. In his opinion, even if the other party had some tricks, he was no match for them, but he wanted to escape, and it would not be easy for the other party to stop him.
Unfortunately, his idea was good, but the reality was that when he had just flown less than a hundred feet, a flash of spiritual light appeared beside him, and Xiao Lin's figure suddenly appeared. The nine Qingluan ice swords surrounding him, accompanied by the sound of crisp phoenixes, cut out a series of condensed sword lights and slashed towards the middle-aged cultivator.
"Daoyou, don't push me too far." The middle-aged cultivator's face changed drastically. The speed of the escape method of the person in front of him really shocked him, and this person actually refined nine magic flying swords. Such a person's combat power is probably terrifying.
However, he did not have time to think about the origin of the person in front of him. The khaki magic flying sword beside him flashed with spiritual light and turned into a sword energy light curtain, blocking him in front of him.
At the same time, he opened his mouth, and three hexagonal shields flashing with khaki spiritual light appeared in front of him. One of the three khaki hexagonal shields swelled against the wind and turned into a giant shield of more than ten feet in size, blocking him in front of him.
The other two hexagonal shields were constantly spinning around him, with auras flickering and expanding and contracting.
"Clang." The moment the two magic swords collided, the middle-aged cultivator felt a shock in his heart, and his face turned pale. In the previous contact, the sword energy and aura on his Dragon Turtle Mysterious Spirit Sword were instantly annihilated by more than half, and he was shaken away dozens of feet away.
Under the induction of his mind, his mind was also shaken, and then he showed a horrified expression in his eyes. Nine magic swords flashed dark green swords and slashed towards him. At the same time, above the void, beside the man, two exaggerated huge fireballs slowly condensed. The scorching breath also burned the surrounding air and rippled, spreading in all directions.
