Chapter 250: Chapter 249: Sword Slashes the Innate (Seeking Subscriptions) The sun was blazing, and even the forest felt a wave of heat. Martial artists like Bai Ziyue, Zhang Zhen, and Dong Zhengwu, who had cultivated Inner Strength, seemed alright, but other External Forging Martial Artists, with their vigorous Qi and Blood, felt even hotter under the sun. *Everyone almost felt wilting, not to mention the horses beneath them, whose breath was hot.* "In another half day, we will reach East City County, let’s push forward." Zhang Zhen called out. The others tried to muster some energy, but quickly became listless again. The Little Black Dog panted heavily, feeling quite overwhelmed by the heat as well. By now, it had accepted its fate as a mount, of course, as a trade-off, Bai Ziyue didn’t hesitate to provide it three Blood Coagulation Pills daily. Soon, the group finally crossed the official road cutting through the forest, finding themselves before a vast stretch of lush green fields. *Despite the lingering heat, a sense of relief couldn’t help but fill everyone’s hearts.* At this moment, Bai Ziyue woke from his cultivation, feeling a pleasant serenity, before suddenly focusing his gaze and quietly saying, "Wait, something’s not right." In the fields, several people dressed as farmers with straw hats spread across the land. On either side of the official road, others were resting beneath the trees, seemingly cooling off. However, Bai Ziyue, born from a mountain village and once a Guard Commander for the Sunburst Gang, had seen many farmers at work and naturally knew the difference. Not to mention these farmers, each one robust and bright-eyed, it was clear they had Martial Arts skills, how could they be ordinary farmers? Yang Zhen and the others hurriedly pulled on their reins, their expressions filled with suspicion and alarm. Suddenly, those scattered farmers and mountain folk on either side of the road changed their demeanor dramatically, standing up swiftly, their steps shifting as straw collapsed, quickly revealing weapons hidden long ago, rushing forward with haste. They saw an old man carrying a scythe, emerge from behind them, walking shakily, his gaunt and slightly hunched form accompanied by a slight cough, suggesting his health wasn’t great. But looking at this elder, whose expansive and powerful aura was vast like the sea, Bai Ziyue’s face changed instantly, becoming extremely serious. "A Martial Arts Innate!" He took a deep breath, his face showing a hint of bitterness. *Ultimately, he encountered such a formidable adversary.* *Even with his confidence in his strength, he had no definite assurance of victory against such a formidable adversary.* "However, if it’s only about escaping..." Bai Ziyue squinted his eyes, refraining from acting rashly. "Ah!" Zhang Zhen and the others gasped, their faces instantly turning despondent, a deep despair emerging from the depths of their eyes. *Innate Powerhouses!* *They never expected to truly encounter Innate Powerhouses intercepting them.* *Finished!* *Done for!* *At this moment, they even gave up the struggle, stiffening their bodies.* *The scorching weather seemed unable to dispel the chill in their hearts.* "Immortal Master Fan, you indeed kept old Cai waiting. If you hadn’t come, I would have suspected whether you encountered some mishaps." The old man’s lips curled, revealing yellow teeth as he smiled and said. "If I’m not mistaken, you should be Cai Xun, ranked third among the thirteen Peak Masters of Qilian Mountain, known as the life-taking scythe. It appears Xu Lianyu has indeed spared no expense, inviting you, an Innate Martial Artist, to take action. But have you considered whether you can bear the consequences of acting against me?" Fan Qingyu, riding on horseback, spoke in a cool voice. "Consequences? Old Cai doesn’t have much time left, why care about consequences? Kill you, obtain the Vitality Pill, my injuries will be fully healed, and the world will be a playground." Cai Xun sneered coldly, saying. "If that’s the case, then I have nothing more to say." Fan Qingyu looked calmly at Bai Ziyue, saying, "From now on, I trust only you, don’t allow anyone within three meters of me. Just safely escort me to the Chen Family." Bai Ziyue was stunned and momentarily puzzled, when Cai Xun on the opposite side bellowed, "Kill!" His body shot out from its original place, reaching extreme speed, as the machete in his hand transformed into a silver light, swiftly slicing out. Before the blade could fall, the aura that seemed to gather the entire world’s might weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts. Beside him, others also struck instantly, their gazes fierce and sinister, filled with a bloodthirsty light. Fan Qingyu’s gaze focused sharply, a cold light flashing as her delicate hand moved slightly, a luminous small sword emerged from her body, instantly transforming into a stream of light, shooting towards Cai Xun. Thud! The sword light collided with the life-taking scythe’s Sword Aura, instantly dispersing the Sword Aura. The remaining force did not diminish, directly landing on the scythe, capable of cleaving mountains and rocks, impossibly sharp. Clang! A ringing sound echoed as the scythe, made of material superior to any Treasure Blade, fractured in the middle, breaking apart. "Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master? How is that possible? No..." Cai Xun’s face turned pale, he shouted in surprise, his eyes showing an incredulous look, then without thinking, he turned around to flee. However, this ray of sword light was too fast. Despite having cut through his weapon, the speed did not weaken at all, truly reaching the limit of what the human eye could capture. Thud! A tremor sounded, and before Cai Xun, who had already reached the Innate Realm, could escape, his head was completely pierced through, then the flying sword turned again. Thud! Thud! Two martial artists, both with strength surpassing second-class experts, fell to the ground. Fan Qingyu was about to strike again when her face instantly turned pale, blood overflowed from her mouth, and at the same time, a dense fragrance, seemingly carrying an unbelievably enticing scent, emanated from her body. With no other choice, she made a slight gesture, summoning the flying sword back into her body. "Run..." The faces of the assassins dressed as old farmers changed drastically, and their advancing figures retreated at an even faster pace, dispersing like sparrows, desperately fleeing in every direction. Almost everyone showed an intense look of fear in their eyes. *What kind of existence were they ambushing this time?* *Enlightenment Immortal Master?* *How could it be an Enlightenment Immortal Master?* *However, even their Peak Master Cai Xun, who had reached the Innate Realm, was easily killed. If it wasn’t an Enlightenment Immortal Master, then what was it?* At this moment, they wished they could grow several more legs to escape as quickly as possible. "Kill!" Zhang Zhen and the others were initially stunned, but soon they were all excited. *Won?* *Though hard to believe, the martial artist lying on the ground from the Innate Realm certainly couldn’t be pretending. Their hearts immediately trembled with excitement.* They hurriedly attacked, charging at these assassins. One assassin, in his panicked state, rushed directly at Bai Ziyue, and beside him was the weak and powerless Fan Qingyu. As though he discovered something, his fearful expression showed a hint of wild joy, raising his blade, he quickly slashed towards Fan Qingyu. "Go away!" Bai Ziyue’s eyes widened, and over several days, the sound wave that had been brewing in his throat burst out in an instant. Roar! Like a Tiger King reigning supreme in the mountain forest, discovering an intruding enemy while patrolling his territory, that roar exploded suddenly. Tiger Roar Thunder Sound Technique, First Layer, Tiger Roar! Containing traces of Inner Strength, like a wave of light, it instantly invaded this martial artist’s head. Fizz! In an instant, this martial artist’s eardrums shattered, his mouth became crooked, his eyes crossed, and he was instantly stunned by Bai Ziyue’s Sound Wave Attack. However, without any hesitation, Bai Ziyue slashed him dead with one stroke. Then he immediately approached Fan Qingyu, lifting her weak and limp arm, helping her stand up. "Are you okay?" "There’s a problem..." Fan Qingyu said weakly and tiredly, "Quickly take me away. My blood and aura contain a special energy that is extremely attractive to ghosts and demons. We must leave quickly before the aura spreads. Only by entering East City County, where the Chen Family’s array offers protection, can we ensure safety." "Okay." Bai Ziyue’s heart tightened, and without hesitation, he helped her sit on Little Black Dog’s back, then sat behind her, giving slight support. "Apologies." He said, then promptly called out to Zhang Zhen and the others, "Head Zhang, don’t chase desperate foes, let’s go!" "Okay!" Zhang Zhen responded, quickly returned, mounted his horse, and followed swiftly. Smelling the aroma continuously emanating from Fan Qingyu, Bai Ziyue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you really an Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master?" "Yes! I just broke through Enlightenment not long ago but was ambushed by a foe, although severely injuring them, my own strength greatly weakened, requiring time to recover. The reason I could strike Cai Xun with one blow was partly due to his carelessness, but more so because of your escort, which allowed my strength to recover somewhat." Fan Qingyu explained. "What’s the reason for attracting ghosts and demons?" Bai Ziyue’s mind stirred as he asked. *If possible, he could use this method to hunt ghosts and gain Soul Energy.* *Soul-Attracting Incense can only attract low-level ghosts, which has become somewhat useless to him now.* "It’s actually a special physique... If possible, I’d rather not have this physique and would willingly be an ordinary person." Fan Qingyu spoke, her eyes showing a hint of weakness and pain. Bai Ziyue nodded silently, knowing that having this physique, she must have endured many hardships before growing up. *Yet he was somewhat disappointed that he couldn’t use it to lure and kill ghosts to gain Soul Energy.*
