Jia Lan's gaze turned cold. Her hands flashed with blue light, and several blue ribbons extended from her sleeves. Her wrists shook, and they danced impenetrably.
In the next instant, a series of blue blades swept out from the blue ribbons, forcing the oncoming stemborers back while shielding themselves within the blue ribbons.
The leader of the Jin Dan Giant Stemborers abruptly widened its eyes upon seeing this, and it opened its cavernous mouth to expel a vast expanse of foul-smelling green mucus.
A loud sizzling sound rang out!
The mucus had corrosive properties, and it was quickly eating away at the blue ribbons. The defensive spiritual light around Calan's body was instantly weakened, and seven or eight stemborers took advantage of this opening to get within 70 to 80 feet of her.
"Explode!"
A brilliant light flashed in Jia Lan's beautiful eyes, and she lightly spat out a word from her mouth. The blue ribbons around her body turned into balls of blue flames that burst apart.
A cold aura swept forth, and the blue flames instantly engulfed several tens of low-grade stemborers.
As the blue flames gradually dissipated, a series of translucent blue stemborers were revealed, all of which were reduced to blue powder amid a string of dull thumps.
A vicious light flashed through the Jin Dan Giant Stemborer's eyes upon seeing this, and it drew a sharp intake of breath as its body swelled drastically in size. A pair of long and narrow black feelers also sprouted from either side of its head.
The two feelers twisted in mid-air before transforming into a large cloud of dark green mist that surrounded Calan from either side.
Calan gritted her teeth at the sight of the Jin Dan Giant Stemborers, and she activated the ribbons around her with even greater ferocity.
At the same time, over 10,000 kilometers away, a streak of azure light was hurtling toward Calan at high speed.
The person within the streak of light was none other than Sha Tongtian.
He wore a grave expression on his face, and he was already unleashing all of the sword Qi beneath his feet while summoning a rare flying talisman. However, he was still very far away from Calan.
......
Bang!
The last blue ribbon on Calan's arm was also shattered by a huge force. Her body staggered a few steps back before she could stabilize herself. Her pretty face was deathly pale.
She was a Fake Core cultivator, but she had been forced to detonate several top-grade magic treasure prototypes in order to survive the onslaught of a Jin Dan stemborer and hundreds of low-grade stemborers.
At this moment, her face was abnormally pale, and the surface of her clothes was faintly covered with strands of golden lightning.
Just then, she had used a Heavenly Lightning Note given to her by the Peak Master of Ethereal Summit, but the spell attacks had little effect on the stemborers. Although they managed to kill a lot of the stemborers, most of them were low-level stemborers.
The stemborers above the Crystallization Period and the Real Pellet State stemborer were still safe and sound, still surrounding him.
Seeing that Calan had lost her protective blue light, the Jin Dan stemborer let out an excited roar. It opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of green flames toward her.
Calan's body moved and was just about to dodge when her slender body suddenly trembled, aggravating one of her injuries. She opened her mouth and spat out mouthfuls of blood, and her eyes couldn't help but darken.
Right at this moment, a black figure arrived with a flash, blocking in front of Jia Lan.
Calan was startled, but when she saw the figure in front of her, her pretty face was instantly filled with disbelief.
The black figure merely raised a hand, and a purple sword light shot out. In a blur, it turned into a dense cloud of purple sword shadows that instantly covered an area with a radius of 1,000 feet.
A loud whistling sound rang out!
The ball of green flames was immediately extinguished by the sword light, and the Jin Dan stemborer head was the first to bear the brunt of the sword light. It let out a horrified shriek as a large swath of green light emerged from its body, condensing into a green light shield that protected its entire body.
The black figure snorted coldly, and the purple sword shadows that had landed on the Jin Dan stemborer flashed before converging into a huge purple sword shadow that was several hundred feet in length. It then spun around the head of the Jin Dan stemborer at lightning speed.
Crack!
The green light shield around the Jin Dan stemborer's body was torn apart like paper. The Jin Dan stemborer's eyes widened, and its head tilted to the side as it silently tumbled to the ground.
Then, the huge purple sword exploded with a loud bang, transforming into a dense cloud of sword lights that swept in all directions, killing all the surrounding stemborers in one fell swoop.
Following a string of bloodcurdling cries, all of the stemborers were instantly riddled with holes, and the dozens of stemborers were all slain in an instant.
The black figure waved a hand, and the sky full of purple sword shadows flashed before transforming back into a streak of purple sword light. It then slowly turned around to reveal that it was none other than Liu Ming.
"Liu …"
Calan bit down on her cherry lips as a hint of excitement flashed through her beautiful eyes. Even though she was trying her best to maintain a calm expression, she was unable to conceal the excitement on her face.
"Junior Martial Sister Calan …" Liu Ming smiled in response. He was also a little excited, but he was much calmer than Calan.
All of a sudden, his gaze fell upon Calan, and a peculiar look appeared in his eyes.
Calan faltered slightly as she sensed Liu Ming's strange expression. She looked down at her own body, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face.
Her clothes had been torn in many places during her battle with the stemborers, and even though it wasn't to the point where she was completely unclothed, a large patch of her fair skin was revealed. In particular, there was a gaping hole in the front of her clothes, revealing a pair of snow-white, voluptuous mounds.
Liu Ming's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look in a certain direction. He coughed lightly as he took off his azure robe and tossed it over Calan's body to cover her body.
Calan lowered her head and allowed Liu Ming to do as he pleased.
Right at this moment, a streak of azure light shot forth, and Sha Tongtian's figure was revealed after a few flashes of azure light.
"Junior Martial Sister Calan, are you alright …"
Sha Tongtian had an anxious expression on his face, and he was just about to walk over when he suddenly saw Liu Ming's figure and the stemborer corpses all over the ground. His expression changed, and he stopped speaking.
"Oh, it's Brother Sha, long time no see." Liu Ming put a robe over Calan's shoulders and tidied up her somewhat messy hair. He then waved his hand to take out another azure robe and put it on. He glanced at Sha Tongtian indifferently.
His majestic magic power circulated slightly, and a terrifying spiritual pressure instantly enveloped the surroundings.
Calan's beautiful eyes flashed, and she gripped her azure robe tightly as she stared fixedly at Liu Ming, as if she couldn't tolerate anyone else.
Sha Tongtian stared at Liu Ming. Seeing his intimate actions with Calan, and sensing the spiritual pressure from Liu Ming that was faintly close to the Celestial Phenomenon level, his long and narrow face couldn't help but become distorted.
"It seems that Brother Sha is fine. I have already cleaned up the stemborers here. If Brother Sha wants to earn some credit, please go somewhere else." Liu Ming said with a faint smile. He waved one hand, and a black gas rose from his body, wrapping his and Calan's figures. They turned into a black light and flew towards the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range.
"Jin Dan …"
Sha Tongtian watched Liu Ming and Jin Dan go away. He clenched his fists tightly, and his body was trembling.
He knew in his heart that in the face of absolute strength, he had lost the last glimmer of hope.
The black light that Liu Ming turned into flew thousands of miles away, and landed in a small valley near the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range. They looked at each other silently.
Liu Ming looked at the beauty in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Calan looked at Liu Ming faintly, and there was a hint of sadness in her expression. Suddenly, she frowned, revealing a trace of pain.
Liu Ming's heart moved, and he quickly held Calan's jade hand. A majestic spiritual power surged out and injected into Calan's body.
Calan's expression eased, and a grand warm current quickly circulated in her body. The injuries on her body slowly recovered with the help of this spiritual power.
"You sit down and adjust your breath first. This is a yin attribute healing elixir. It is quite compatible with your physique, so it should be helpful." Liu Ming helped Calan to sit down slowly, and he took out a gray elixir, exuding a faint yin qi fluctuation.
The woman took the elixir without saying a word. She raised her head and swallowed it, then she silently ran her martial arts.
Liu Ming stood aside to protect her. His eyes fell on the beautiful face of the woman, and a complicated expression flashed in his eyes.
After half an hour, Calan's complexion looked a lot better. She slowly stopped and stood up.
"How are you? Is there any discomfort? "Liu Ming looked up and down at Calan, then he pulled her wrist and injected a spiritual power into her body.
"I'm fine. I just had some spiritual power shock, which caused some internal injuries in my body. Your elixir is very effective. It's not a big problem now. I can recover after a day of rest." Calan turned her eyes and saw Liu Ming's concerned look. She smiled and said while fixing her hair.
Liu Ming's spiritual power explored Calan's body. After confirming that she was really fine, he nodded and retracted his arm.
"Brother Liu, you said that you were just going to the Evil Ghost Realm to train, but you have been gone for decades. Don't you have anything to say to me?" Calan stared at Liu Ming's eyes with her beautiful eyes.
"I'm sorry, Junior Sister Calan. I didn't want to be wandering outside all these years …" Liu Ming sighed, took a step forward, and gently held Calan's soft hands.
"Where have you been all these years? I heard from Senior Sister Xiaowu of your Fallen Serene Peak that you disappeared in a battle in the Evil Ghost Realm. The Sect sent people to search for you for a long time, but they found nothing. Everyone thought you had unfortunately died in it. "Calan asked softly with a faint blush on Calan's face.
"It's a long story. At that time, I …" Liu Ming smiled bitterly. He immediately talked about how he was chased by the Tian Xiang Ghost Clan, then drifted to the Netherworld Realm, went through a chance encounter, formed the Jin Dan, and finally returned to the Middle Sky Continent with the help of Green Spirit. He even mentioned what happened in the Southern Wilderness.
"It turns out that so many things happened in between." Calan listened to the ups and downs of Liu Ming over the years, and her eyes flickered.
"Then not only have you successfully formed your core, but you have also cultivated to the realm of the Jin Dan Intermediate Stage?" Calan asked while biting her lips.
"En, I'm now at the peak of the Jin Dan Intermediate Stage. I'm probably not far from advancing to the later stage." Liu Ming smiled slightly and said frankly.
