Zhu Yao instantly felt like crying, you know what? However, she could not stop. Stopping was equivalent to giving up on the chance of survival. She had risked her life to kill that demonic beast, and had yet to obtain the "Wood Spirit". She definitely could not die now.
However, her stamina was already beginning to sing the opposite tune. The speed of her flying sword was becoming slower as well, and she could no longer squeeze out any more spiritual energy from her body. She instantly fell from the sky, and heavily crashed onto the ground. However, she no longer had the strength to climb back up, and even her consciousness was beginning to blur.
That huge demonic beast had already charged out of the forest, and with its bloody mouth wide open, it sprinted towards her. Suddenly, the jade pendant on Zhu Yao's chest emitted out a dazzling white light. Just when the demonic beast was about to swallow her whole, she faintly saw a white figure blocking in front of her. With just a casual raise of his hand, he grabbed onto that crazy demonic beast. Crackling lightning bolts resounded in the surroundings, and with a wave of his hand, he threw it out. The demonic beast heavily landed on the ground, and no longer had any signs of life.
Zhu Yao tried her best to see who the person in front of her was, but her eyelids grew heavier. She could only hear that person's deep sigh, and then, she sank into darkness.
Looking at his disciple who had already fainted, Yu Yan's frown instantly deepened. Lifting up his stupid disciple who had already turned into a bloody person, he could not help but sigh again. Reaching out his hand to check her pulse, he then looked at her Dantian, and his frown could no longer be relaxed. All the meridians in her body were broken, and her spiritual energy was dried up. Even her Azoth Core was on the verge of collapse.
This stupid disciple of his really could not help but stare at her for even a moment.
Carrying the person on the ground, he turned and walked towards a nearby cave. The demonic beast in the cave smelled a stranger's scent, | `O ′ | |
Awooo ~ ~ It leapt out majestically. A certain master did not look sideways, as he released the pressure from his entire body, frightening that demonic beast to the point of meowing and lying on the ground. It obediently gave up the cave, and hid with its tail between its legs.
A certain master who had forcefully taken over the territory, placed his stupid disciple on a pile of hay in the cave, and then sat cross-legged behind her. Like a hardworking little bee, he began to diligently repair his disciple's broken meridians. Logically speaking, when her meridians were broken like Zhu Yao's, even if she could be saved, she could no longer cultivate. However, her master was Yu Yan! As the number one person in the Immortal Cultivation World, if he couldn't even save his disciple, then he would have wasted all his years of cultivation.
Yu Yan closed his eyes, and summoned his own Sword Intent. In an instant, a white dragon circled around his body, and after circling a few rounds, it slowly circled around Zhu Yao who was in front of him. The white light on his body grew even brighter, and under the circling of the white dragon, the injuries on Zhu Yao's body were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ten days passed like this.
When Zhu Yao woke up, she realized that the injuries on her body had completely disappeared, and even her spiritual energy had recovered. She was sitting in a huge cave, and she was the only one in the surroundings. Not far from the cave, there was a Demonic Beast that looked like a tiger but had a pair of wings. It was whimpering.
That was actually an eighth-order demonic beast!
Zhu Yao was so frightened that she almost cried out, and when that demonic beast saw her sitting up, it seemed to have received an even greater fright.
With a puchi sound, it scurried into the bushes at the side, as if it was trying its best to hide itself. It desperately stuffed its huge body into the bushes, only revealing its round head and blinking its large eyes, looking at her with a face full of fear.
What kind of situation was this?
Zhu Yao's expression darkened. Earlier, she was being chased by a seventh-order demonic beast, and had to flee for her life. Why was it, a mighty eighth-order demonic beast, scared to such an extent? Could it be that the higher the rank of a demonic beast, the lower its intelligence?
Zhu Yao shook her head, and recalled the white figure she saw before she fainted. Why did she feel that her master had been here before?
After carefully sensing for a moment, there seemed to still be lightning spiritual energy that had yet to disperse in the cave, and it was extremely familiar.
"Master?" She probingly called out.
"…" There was no response for a long while.
She patted on her chest, and smiled at her own naivety. "I knew it!" How could her master possibly follow her in the dark? "As expected, I was thinking too much …"
"What is it?"
"…" Her smile instantly stiffened on her face. Master, you're Cao Cao, right!?
She looked around, yet she could not see that figure. "Master, where are you?" She could see the bottom of this cave with a single glance, and his figure was basically nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that she had already begun to ransack that demonic beast's old nest, the ice-cold voice once again spoke up. "Lower your head."
Zhu Yao lowered her head, only to see the white jade pendant her master had given her before she left. It was currently emitting out a dazzling light, and a miniature white figure of her master was currently emerging from the pendant, floating about a meter in front of her.
It was Yu Yan.
"Master!" Zhu Yao suddenly widened her eyes, and looked at this miniature version of her master. "How did you turn into this?"
"What you're seeing right now is merely a portion of my Primordial Spirit." Yu Yan explained. "Practitioners of Azoth-stage and above are unable to enter 'Tasyoluk', so I can only place my divine sense in this jade pendant, in order to enter this Secret Realm."
"Then why?" Did he have to turn into such a miniature version?
"Although it's only a portion of my divine sense, I'm still at the Demigod stage, after all. If I were to appear with my original form, I would definitely be detected by the formation. Only in this form, can I not be discovered. "
"Master, why did you come here?"
Hearing her mention this, Yu Yan coldly glanced at her, and instantly began his teaching mode. "Your Azoth Core is damaged, and your meridians are completely severed. Your master has never taught you that when fighting against demonic beasts, you must fight with your life on the line. "
"…" Zhu Yao obediently lowered her head.
"If I hadn't appeared, you would most likely have lost your life here."
"Was master the one who healed my injuries?"
Yu Yan did not reply, and simply looked at her even more sternly.
Zhu Yao smiled, and instantly felt warmth in her heart. Having a master who liked to follow his disciple wasn't a bad thing after all.
"Thank you, master."
"…" Yu Yan was startled, yet, he still kept a straight face. "Stupid!"
"Yes, my king!"
"In the future, think thrice before you act."
"Yes, my king!"
"Acting within your means, is the way of cultivation."
"No problem, my king!"
"Also …"
"Is there anything else, my king?"
"Your Azoth Core has yet to recover, do not easily make a move in the next few days."
"Understood, my king!"
"Shut up."
"Yes, my king! No problem, my king!"
"…"

After a few days of recuperation, Zhu Yao's injuries were completely healed. Yu Yan had made up his mind to train her, and along the way, he purposely chose places with demonic beasts. In the beginning, Zhu Yao had already thought of running away the moment she saw a demonic beast, but now, she had already numbly pulled out her sword, and charged out to slash while looking for abuse.
Zhu Yao did not have much battle experience in the first place, so she was basically the one who was completely oppressed. However, with Yu Yan by her side, other than suffering some light injuries, her life was not in danger. Over time, his swordsmanship was honed to a very proficient level. She could even retract and release her Sword Intent as she pleased.
Her Sword Intent was in the form of a lightning phoenix. Usually, when she summoned it, it would only be a tiny one, not much bigger than a pigeon. It no longer appeared as huge as the first time she used it.
Her master said that Sword Intent was the embodiment of her cultivation. When she comprehended Sword Intent, whatever her heart desired, her Sword Intent would then transform into the most similar form. Back then, she simply wanted to snatch a sliver of life from the demonic beast's claws, so her Sword Intent was in the form of a phoenix rising from the ashes.
She had seen her master's Sword Intent before as well. It was in the form of a white dragon. Zhu Yao silently pondered. Could it be that her master had wanted to become an emperor back then, which was why he had a dragon-shaped Sword Intent? She silently recalled how he looked when he sat on the dragon throne, and decided to forget about it. Evidently, the style wasn't right.
However, a dragon and a phoenix, as expected of master and disciple, they were rather compatible. Just thinking about it made her a little excited.
With Sword Intent, Zhu Yao's sword techniques improved greatly. In the beginning, she could barely deal with fourth and fifth rank demonic beasts. Later on, with her own strength, she could even deal with a sixth rank demonic beast.
Zhu Yao raised her longsword. She had defeated a sixth rank demonic beast, yet, her body was already as tired as a dog, and not a single drop of her spiritual energy was left.
She sat on the ground, and panted heavily. She was completely unable to move.
A certain master popped out half of his body from the pearl in front of her chest, and a hint of satisfaction surfaced on his ice-cold face. "This time, it's fifteen minutes faster than the previous time. However, that strike earlier, you could have been even faster."
"Master …" A hint of awkwardness flashed past Zhu Yao's face, and she really wanted to say something.
Yu Yan, however, continued. "Demonic beasts that are unable to transform usually have larger bodies, so their movements will be a little slower. You have to win with speed."
"That's not …"
"Your control over your spiritual energy is insufficient, and your grasp over Sword Intent is still lacking."
"Umm …"
"You have more than enough offense, but insufficient defense."
"I'm saying …"
"You have to train more, you cannot slack off."
"Master!"
"What is it?" A certain master finally noticed that his stupid disciple's tone wasn't right.
Zhu Yao's expression darkened. She pointed at his position, and then at her own chest. "Can you let go of my chest first?"
It's true that you're hiding in the jade pendant, but what's the meaning of designing the jade pendant as a necklace!? And master, if you want to come out, then come out. Why did you only come out halfway? This deja vu that seemed to have suddenly squeezed out from her chest, isn't that a little too lacking in moral integrity?
PS, where's your hand right now, hey!?
"Chest?" Yu Yan tilted his head, and subconsciously looked around.
The hell, although she was flat-chested, it wasn't to the point where she couldn't find it, right? You're going to hurt me by looking everywhere, alright?
Don't think that just because you're my master, I won't dare to beat you up!
Yu Yan looked at the person in front of him, who was instantly enveloped by a low pressure. What was up with his disciple this time? Why did he faintly sense killing intent? Yu Yan was even more confused, and in the end, he concluded that his disciple was being stupid again.
Fortunately, he could tell that his disciple seemed to be dissatisfied with his current position. Although he did not understand the reason, he still floated out in one piece, and slowly turned into his normal size.
With a wave of his hand, he formed a few hand seals, and set up a concealment formation next to his disciple. Then, he sat down next to her, and began to protect her.
Seeing that she had recovered a little, he finally felt at ease. After sizing her up, his brows once again deeply furrowed.
"Take off your clothes."
