Chapter 373 Unrelenting
Mengyu raised her eyes to look squarely at Song Yun: "What do you want?"
When Song Yun met Mengyu’s clear, large eyes, he found himself momentarily speechless. But it was just a moment of distraction before he regained his composure.
He realized that he hadn’t been able to captivate her, yet he was almost mesmerized by her.
"Uh, about what I said earlier, buying pills from you, you haven’t answered me yet."
Mengyu sneered inwardly, but her expression remained calm: "The pill I gave Uncle Xiao today was just something bestowed by my elders long ago. It has no use for me and has been lying around. Today, seeing Uncle Xiao’s life in danger, I took it out for him to use. So—"
She shrugged her shoulders: "Sorry, I don’t have any left."
However, the next moment, she felt a sudden palpitation and quickly leaped into the air, almost at the same time throwing her fan out to support her body.
The spot where she had just been standing actually sank into the ground. Had it not been for her jump, she would be trapped in the earth by now.
Earth Sinking Skill!
Angered, she shouted: "Song! How dare you!" She waved her hand and a bunch of vines rolled towards Song Yun.
But Song Yun had already leaped away after launching the attack, so the vines directed by Mengyu only caught a shadow.
Seeing Mengyu commanding the fan to fly, Song Yun realized that his opponent must be at least a Foundation Establishment senior, and the fan she held before was actually a flying Magic Artifact!
He was terrified, knowing that now his cover was blown, she definitely would not let him go. The only way for a Qi Refining cultivator to confront a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was a surprise attack, and failing that, the opportunity would be lost.
Song Yun’s sneak attack on Mengyu had failed, and the best chance to kill Mengyu was gone. If he stayed to compare Mana, how could a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator win against a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?
His only option now was to run away!
He slapped a talisman paper on himself rapidly and burrowed into the ground out of sight.
It was precisely because he had an Earth Tunneling Talisman in his hand that Song Yun dared to act boldly. If he could bring down Mengyu, it would be a cause for celebration; even if he failed, he could use the talisman to escape underground.
However, he had completely underestimated Mengyu.
Seeing Song Yun escaping underground, Mengyu promptly extended her Divine Sense out of her body, shooting it into the ground.
Knowing there was an alien presence in Red Stone Village, Mengyu had been careful not to let her Divine Sense out, worried that she might inadvertently scan something she shouldn’t and offend someone.
Now with her Divine Sense projected out, she could see over two li (almost a kilometer) on flat ground, but in the soil, she could only see around ten meters deep.
However, Song Yun’s underground escape was shallow, only a little more than a meter deep in the loose soil.
Probably, his power was limited; any deeper, with rock or hard soil layers, he wouldn’t be able to move.
Quickly, Mengyu spotted Song Yun forming seals surrounded by a yellow light, burrowing underground. Wherever he went, the yellow light pressed the surrounding soil and rocks aside, allowing him easy passage.
Mengyu’s heart skipped: The spells of Mystic Cultivators were indeed formidable, even able to navigate underground. But, he probably didn’t know that Mengyu’s Divine Sense could penetrate below the ground.
Mengyu took out her Magic Bow, fitted a Magic Arrow, and aimed at Song Yun, who was burrowing underground, releasing the arrow.
A regular arrow would easily get blocked by the soil, but Mengyu’s bow and arrow were top-grade magic tools, and she had also imbued the arrowhead with her spiritual power, allowing the arrow to track its target.
Song Yun, who was tunneling underground, suddenly felt a sense of danger looming. Horrified, he wanted to dodge, but being in the ground, there was nowhere to hide.
He had already fled underground, but would that woman still not let him go?
