As one of the Seven Martial Saints, he had actually suffered such a great loss at the hands of two little brats. This was the greatest humiliation of his life for Guan Yang.
The edge of the blade trembled, and a strong flame rushed towards Lin Muyu.
But this brat did not even try to fight it head on. With a leap, he escaped from the attack range like a rabbit.
"Let's go!"
Lin Muyu grabbed Chu Yao by the waist, activated the Falling Star Steps, and ran away.
"Don't go, you shameless brat!"
Guan Yang was furious, he gathered his True Qi, grasped the long blade, and chased after them. But he did not realize that the wound caused by the thorns on the gourd vines was still leaking True Qi.
…
After running for almost twenty miles, Lin Muyu finally stopped. He put down Chu Yao, turned around to look at the panting Guan Yang, and slowly pulled out the steel sword.
"Are you finally tired?" Guan Yang sneered, raised the long blade, and said: "Since you are tired, then die!"
Lin Muyu smiled, a very bright smile.
"Rustle …"
Stepping on the grass, he leaped forward. Lin Muyu gathered all the True Qi in his body on the steel sword. Lightning flashed, this was his strongest attack, the secret technique passed down from Qu Chu – Thunder Strike!
"Bang!"
The blade of the sword struck the hilt with lightning, Guan Yang's arms were numb, his hands could not hold on, and the long blade flew out of his hand. He was a little stunned, the situation had turned around, this brat's True Qi was already stronger than his.
"How is this possible?" Guan Yang clenched his teeth.
Lin Muyu sneered, his left hand slashed through the air, and with a sharp whistle, the Demon Noise Blade flew straight towards Guan Yang.
Guan Yang hurriedly rushed to the long blade, picked up the large blade, and turned around to block.
Sparks flew as the Demonic Noise Blade's attack was blocked.
Lin Muyu quickly raised her left fist. "Bang! Bang!" Two Demon Sound Punches reverberated in the air. The first punch forced Guan Yang to barely raise his True Qi to protect his body. Otherwise, the Demon Sound Punches would have shattered his internal organs. The second punch landed on the Demon Sound Saber that was spinning in the air!
Crack!
The Demon Noise Saber flashed across the night sky like the God of Death. In the blink of an eye, it cut through Guan Yang's neck. Blood gushed out of his arteries. He hastily reached out to cover the wound, but it was too late. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, Lin Muyu said with a plain tone, "Hua Tian died the same way."
Guan Yang's face was filled with anger. He knelt on the ground and collapsed weakly. An expert who dominated a region had died just like that under the Demonic Noise Saber.
… …
After catching the Demonic Noise Saber, Lin Muyu split it into four flying daggers and hid them at her waist. She walked up to Guan Yang and opened his luggage. She found a dozen or so Jin Yin coins and two gold notes, one for 100 Jin Yin coins and the other for 150 Jin Yin coins. She didn't expect one of the Seven Martial Saints to be so poor, but she still accepted everything.
Chu Yao looked at Guan Yang's corpse on the ground and said, "Is it worth it to throw away your life for money?"
Lin Muyu smiled slightly. "That's because we won. Otherwise, he would have carried our heads to collect the bounty of 100,000 Jin Yin coins. He would have been the real winner then."
"Mn, let's go!"
"Alright."
Before they had gone too far, Lin Muyu suddenly stopped and sniffed hard. She smiled and said, "Sister Chu Yao, I found what I was looking for!"
"It's the Intestine Severing Orchid!" Chu Yao was overjoyed.
The two of them followed the scent and found an orchid under a thousand-year-old tree. The Intestine Severing Orchid was highly poisonous like the Dragon's Tongue Fungus. However, when the medicinal essence of these two herbs was mixed together, it wasn't highly poisonous. Instead, it was a poison called Refreshing Breeze Intoxication. It would only numb one's mind and slow down one's movements, but it wasn't very fatal.
Lin Muyu wasn't in a hurry to refine the medicine. She continued to search the forest with Chu Yao.
In the middle of the night, they found another herb, the Spirit Concentrating Flower, a level-6 herb. Chu Yao had already memorized the records in the Divine Medicine Canon. The Spirit Concentrating Flower could be used to refine a medicine called the Spirit Concentrating Powder. It was a rare solid-state medicine, and Chu Yao instantly understood Lin Muyu's intentions. The Spirit Concentrating Powder could neutralize the poison of the Refreshing Breeze Intoxication. Thus, one must first take the Spirit Concentrating Powder before refining the Refreshing Breeze Intoxication. Otherwise, the refiner might not be able to withstand the poison during the refining process.
…
They found a cave in the mountains and spread hay on the ground as a mat. Lin Muyu secretly rejoiced that it was only the Mid-Autumn Festival. If it was winter, she really didn't know how she and Chu Yao could survive in this desolate forest.
During the day, they hunted a wild boar and put a piece of fat meat into the iron pot to cook soup. Chu Yao was in charge of food and drink, while Lin Muyu was in charge of defense and refining the medicine. This had already become a tacit understanding between the two of them.
A pile of Spirit Concentrating Flower was slowly turned into medicinal essence by Lin Muyu. She used the mountain spring water to refine the medicine. The refining method of Spirit Concentrating Flower was very simple. It was the fermentation of medicinal essence and water. However, the medicinal essence must be very pure. An ordinary refiner wouldn't be able to control it at all. However, Lin Muyu had the Essence Condensing Hand. The purity of medicinal essence had already reached the peak. Therefore, refining the Spirit Concentrating Powder was a piece of cake for him.
After refining two bottles of Spirit Concentrating Powder, Lin Muyu and Chu Yao drank one bottle each. Then, they began to refine the poison.
Lin Muyu carefully refined the medicinal essence. Then, she mixed the two kinds of medicinal essence in a small bottle and carefully refined it. The Breeze Drunk was colorless and tasteless. Moreover, the two of them had already taken the antidote, so they didn't feel much. After refining a few bottles of Breeze Drunk and giving them to Chu Yao, Lin Muyu cautiously warned, "When you encounter a strong enemy, pour one bottle on the ground. The antidote of Spirit Concentrating Powder has an effect of 48 hours. Both of us will be fine after drinking one bottle."
Chu Yao did as she was told. Unknowingly, her junior, Lin Muyu, had become her pillar of support. She also knew that this mysterious junior must be hiding something that no one knew. However, since he didn't want to say it, she didn't want to ask.
…
The night passed quickly. On the second day, Lin Muyu woke up early, only to find that his strength had reached saturation. It seemed that he had reached level 39. He only needed a suitable opportunity to step into the realm of Battle-Saint! And this opportunity was actually very simple. He just needed to find a spirit beast that was strong enough, kill it, and absorb the spirit of the beast to help him breakthrough!
There were many spirit beasts in the Seven Stars Forest. There was no doubt about this.
Now, he needed to verify a question. Would the Breeze Drunk have any effect on spirit beasts? In the game "Conquer" that Lin Muyu had played before, the Breeze Drunk was a first-class poison. It was very effective on players as it could greatly weaken the opponent's strength, allowing the weak to defeat the strong. But what if it was used on spirit beasts? God knows if it would work or not. Let's give it a try!
This time, Guan Yang was already so strong. Who would be the next one? Maybe even stronger. Lin Muyu only knew one thing. She had to improve herself, otherwise, she still wouldn't be able to bring Chu Yao out of this forest.
Just as they walked out of the cave, a "swoosh" sound was heard.
Lin Muyu hurriedly stepped back and dodged the arrow. The arrow went straight into the rock. The strength of the arrow was really strong. He quickly raised his hand and pulled out his steel sword. He said in a low voice, "Sister, wait for me here!"
In the next moment, he rushed forward like an arrow. There was a hunter hiding in the forest. He was also a mercenary.
"Come out!"
With a light wave of his palm, green vines rose up. This mercenary was immediately unable to hide. He threw away his longbow and pulled out his sword to slash at the gourd vines around him. However, there were more and more gourd vines. The thorns pierced into his body one after another. Naturally, he couldn't block them.
"Ah ah ah …"
In the midst of a miserable howl, this wandering mercenary with the strength of a level 32 Battle-Master hurriedly begged for mercy. "Young Hero Lin, please spare my life. I don't dare to sneak attack you anymore. Please spare my life. I'm only doing this for the reward. I don't have any evil intentions!"
"Killing for the reward is considered to have no evil intentions?"
Lin Muyu held his steel sword with a calm expression. He pointed at Chu Yao behind him and said, "If I were killed by your sneak attack, would you chop off her beautiful head?"
"Or … Maybe …"
"That's the answer I want."
Lin Muyu smiled faintly. With a sudden thrust of his sword, he pierced through the heart of the wandering mercenary.
He didn't dare to be merciful. If he didn't kill this person, he might summon even more mercenaries to chase after him. Furthermore, how many of these wandering mercenaries were good people? More importantly, he had to kill these people who were chasing after him, so he didn't have to be soft-hearted.
… ….
Carrying his sword that was covered in blood, Lin Muyu turned around and walked to Chu Yao's side. He smiled and said, "Sister Chu Yao, don't you think that Yu is too cruel?"
Chu Yao looked at his slightly trembling arm and couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache. Her eyes were red as she said, "No, I know that Yu is killing people for me."
Lin Muyu didn't say anything. How could he be willing to kill people? Every time he killed someone, his fear increased, and every time he killed someone, his guilt increased. Even in his dreams, it was as if someone was coming to take his life, so after entering the Seven Stars Forest, he had never had a good sleep. Sleep was already an extravagant hope for him. At this time, when he thought about how Qu Chu didn't sleep at night, he seemed to have understood something.
…
They continued to move north. After walking for about ten miles, they suddenly found a ground full of decaying plants. Everything around them seemed to have changed. Lin Muyu sniffed and said, "Be careful, there's something poisonous here."
"What could it be?" Chu Yao was shocked.
Lin Muyu smiled and comforted her, "Don't be too nervous. We've all taken the spirit gathering powder. For the time being, no poison can pose a threat to us. Don't worry."
"En."
They continued to move forward. Most of the things around them had withered and decayed. They were getting closer and closer to the poison.
"Be careful, we're here."
Lin Muyu pointed at a pale red plant in the distance. She smiled and asked, "Guess what that is?"
Chu Yao opened her mouth, "I … I don't know …"
"Poisonous cockscomb flower, a plant type spiritual beast. It has lived for at least 2000 years!"
