Scourge Messenger

Chapter 197 The Pepper Grove of Bingzi Reappears
The fact that the Bunny Girl Pharmacist was willing to fight her way through the demonic path was nothing to them. What was there to be proud of in defeating a bunch of rabble?
However, they all noticed that the Bunny Girl's weapon was not a magical artifact, yet it could ignore the defensive barrier and directly damage the magical messenger. Severing limbs and decapitating people was as easy as cutting through tofu, something even they couldn't do. Magical artifacts could only break through the defensive barrier by activating their powers; otherwise, even they would have to destroy the barrier before killing the person. But this process was too fast, so fast that the body was already torn to pieces before the other party even realized the barrier was broken.

Unlike Prajna, Bunny Girl's power of natural disasters has accumulated to the point of qualitative change. Even without the demonic artifact, she can kill any third-level cultivator in the world!
Moreover, the powerful aura emanating from her body—

"So young, and already a third-tier messenger?"

Helan Yu was filled with disbelief: "Could it be that she was fed with secret manuals? But it takes a lot of time to digest secret manuals. Using secret manuals when you are young can even cause your body to explode and die. Moreover, her strength is not comparable to those good-for-nothings... No wonder the ancestor insisted on capturing her. Putting aside her hidden secrets, her powerful bloodline alone is worth keeping and raising for breeding!"

"Bunny Girl, is that her name?" He Lanyu swung her longsword, carving a huge crack in the ground that blocked Bunny Girl's path, and in doing so, killed the last fleeing demonic messenger.

"I'll give you one more chance. As long as you surrender, I'm willing to speak well of you before the ancestors and give you to me as a wife or concubine." He said arrogantly, "As long as you obediently tell all the secrets, you can save your life and enter my Helan family. After a few years, when your body matures, you will naturally be able to bear children for my Helan family and completely integrate into the Helan family."

"With a Foundation Establishment cultivator present, no matter how much you struggle, it's meaningless. Joining the Helan family is your only way out!"

Helan Yu felt she had been quite gentle. After all, the ancestor was right outside, and a normal person would have run over and surrendered like those demonic cultivators. Resistance was pointless. Putting aside whether she could deal with them, even if she could, what could she do? Did she really have to force the ancestor to take action personally?

If they didn't understand the situation at first, now that they've seen their power, even the youngest person should understand the concept of hierarchy.

Bunny Girl glanced up at him, stepping over the crack in the ground: "Was your mother also captured by your father for breeding purposes like this? No wonder she gave birth to a bastard like you."

He Lanyu was stunned, her pupils turning bloodshot. She laughed angrily, "You don't know what's good for you! Fine, fine, watch me slap your mouth shut!"

"Yu!" Helan Xun immediately shouted, "Capture her alive—"

"Don't worry, I'll just cripple this bitch!"

In an instant, Helan Yu covered a distance of more than ten steps, his speed only slightly slower than Xue Xiang's! This time, he was no longer as nonchalant as he was when dealing with the demonic messenger. Instead, he gripped his longsword and unleashed a dazzling sword light, clearly using the power of the token to slash at the rabbit girl's legs. He wanted to turn this rabbit into a completely immobile pet!
Bunny Girl leaped to dodge, her twin swords tracing a graceful arc in the air before coalescing into a dense blur of sword shadows.

Heavy rain is coming!

Even if Helan Yu immediately drew his sword to protect his head, it would be meaningless. The Seven Steps of Reciting Buddha's Name and the Seven Star Sword had already left countless sword marks on his body. After the bunny girl took seven steps, all the injuries broke out at the same time, turning Helan Yu's body into a tattered blood bag!
But the bunny girl didn't even have time to see the results of the battle, because Prajna and Helan Xun attacked her at the same time! The staff and the spear, one on the left and one on the right, blocked most of her escape space!

The downpour cooldown was over, and since the opponents were all wielding long weapons, they were no longer within Bunny Girl's attack range. She had no choice but to dodge to the side and look for an opening. But just then, Helan Yu's voice rang out from the side: "You think you can take me down like this?"

what! ?

While still in mid-air, Bunny Girl had no time to dodge again, only managing to parry with her Seven Star Sword, and then—

Sword shattered!

There is a limit to the damage that can be dealt by blocking with a weapon. Even with the enhanced blocking ability of the Hand of the Hundred Aspects, once the damage exceeds a certain level, it will cause overflow damage to the weapon!
Bunny Girl was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall and kicking up clouds of dust.

"younger sister!"

The pharmacist rushed over immediately to check on the bunny girl's condition, but the mad dog-like Helan Yu suddenly turned around and attacked her!

"The ancestor forbade me to kill her, so I can kill you now!"

He Lanyu's face still bore the wounds inflicted by the bunny girl, which were slowly sprouting dense, fleshy buds, making him look extremely ugly and grotesque. His other wounds were similar—his heart, abdomen, lungs—his upper body resembled an empty shell filled with caterpillars, countless tentacle-like buds attempting to stitch together his body ravaged by the power of the natural disaster!

"Yakushi Yuan, it's you, isn't it? The murderer who killed my third uncle. But I didn't like my third uncle either, but you must be a very important person to her, right? If I chopped you up and fed you to her, she would probably cry her heart out, wouldn't she?"

In his battle state, Yakushi was naturally not angered by such words, but only felt a chill.

Logically, such an injury should be extremely painful, but Helan Yu's movements did not slow down at all. On the contrary, his words and actions became more and more frantic. If the pharmacist was not mistaken, the token that greatly enhanced their recovery ability and at the same time converted their pain into pleasure could explain why Helan Yu would deliberately get injured.

As Helan Yu attacked, numerous phantom images of tokens appeared around him. Only in close combat could Yaoshi Yuan clearly sense the terrifying power contained within these phantom images; Helan Yu's strength and life force were all continuously supplied by these phantoms. He was like a child who had suddenly become an adult, swaggering among children with the body of an adult, naturally able to act with impunity and arbitrariness!

"The Foundation Establishment messengers have imbued them with the power of the tokens!" The Pharmacist immediately relayed this message: "They are not simply third-stage demonic cultivators, but rather Foundation Establishment combatants masquerading as Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

"I'm glad you figured it out, so you can die knowing why!"

Seeing Helan Yu running wild, Helan Xun shook his head and turned to look at Banruo: "So, it's up to you now. If we don't control our strength, we might accidentally kill someone."

Prajna shook his head slightly: "I'm not very confident relying on myself alone. That little girl is much crazier than you think... Do you still stand by your promises?"

He Lanxun was taken aback, then nodded: "Okay."

"Blood Lord, did you hear that?" Prajna said loudly, "Help us catch the Rabbit Benefactor, and we'll save your life in return!"

From the moment the Helan family appeared, Xue Xiang had been observing coldly, standing guard beside Bei You. Even though they were also one of the three great protectors of Shudao Mountain, what was happening now seemed to have nothing to do with them. "Wasn't it five lives?" Xue Xiang was actually bargaining.

Bei You chuckled, "Blood Prime Minister, you wouldn't be trying to save my life, would you?"

“I still have quite a few men in Shudao Mountain. Shudao Mountain is gone this time, and I need people to make a comeback.” Xue Xiang said coldly, “If you are willing to lick my boots and become my subordinate, I am not unable to take you with me.”

“Impossible, there’s only one,” Helan Xun said calmly. “If you still don’t agree, then you don’t have to agree.”

After a moment of silence, Xue Xiang suddenly flashed and appeared behind He Lanxun.

"Anyway, I have a grudge against them, so I might as well settle both old and new scores at once." Blood Prime looked at the collapsed wall in the distance: "But, could she have already been beaten to death?"

Helan Xun ignored Xue Xiang and suddenly remembered something, turning around and shouting, "Yu, don't kill her! Keep her to blackmail the little girl!"

However, Helan Xun felt it was too late to say that. With their strength, they could deal with any third-stage cultivator in just one move, and the outcome would be decided in a single breath. He had been talking to Prajna Blood Mirror for countless breaths, and if Helan Yu had been quick, he probably would have already turned the person into a bloody pulp.

"Uncle Xun, I can't hold back when dealing with this bitch from the pharmacist's family."

In just a short while, more than a dozen terrifying cracks appeared on the ground where Helan Yu and Yaoshi Yuan were fighting. They were all cut by Helan Yu, as if he had crushed the entire place several times. However, the result was that Helan Yu had several serious injuries that were being repaired, and even one of his eyes was pierced, while Yaoshi Yuan was completely unharmed.

“Her qi and blood are not at the third level, and her methods are somewhat strange.” He Lanyu’s voice was hoarse. “She has probably already absorbed the third level of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends!”

"I can only kill her by myself at most. If you want to capture her, you'll have to send those two good-for-nothings over here!"

Helan Xun pondered for a moment, then said, "Then you two go and help capture the Medicine Master's Wish. Just keep your lives; there's no need to hold back—"

"No need to bother."

A small, thin figure emerged from the collapsed ruins. A bunny girl with a thick braid walked out, blood flowing from her mouth. There was a horrifying wound on her left shoulder that was so deep that the bone was almost cut off. He Lanyu's attack not only shattered her defensive barrier but also severely injured her.

As she walked, she planted long swords into the ground, one after another, until she had planted eight swords in total. She asked, "Sister, how much longer can you hold on?"

"Until he dies!" the pharmacist declared without hesitation.

"That's good. I'll deal with these people and come help you soon." The bunny girl looked at Helan Xun and the others blocking her way. "Originally, I prepared this move for your old bastard ancestor, but after thinking about it carefully, it was too arrogant. I am not qualified to fight against Foundation Establishment cultivators at the moment."

What ultimate move is being prepared for a confrontation with a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Will you resolve this quickly?

If anyone else had said such things, Helan Xun would have considered it a loss to even acknowledge them; a frog in a well clamoring to pluck the moon from the sky would only invite ridicule. However, looking at this severely injured and dying little girl, Helan Xun's gaze turned serious.

Because she is the successor of Si Wuxie's Heavenly Calamity, possessing treasures such as the Return Token, and even her gauntlets are legendary artifacts, the ancestor had to directly use the Taiyin Canopy restriction to enter and exit the area to have any chance of capturing her alive!

"But you've really angered me this time,"

Suddenly, a long sword with a scabbard inlaid with gold and diamonds, and carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, appeared in her hand:

"It even angered my brother!"

The bunny girl's eyes seemed to hold crimson lava; it was the first time Prajna had seen such an obvious emotion on her face, which reminded him of his conversation with Beiyou. Beiyou had said that the bunny girl's eyes harbored a demon, a demon that was waiting for an opportunity to wage war. When the bunny girl acted without restraint, the demon would don her cloak and recklessly turn the world into a living hell!
She raised the scabbard high and slowly drew the long sword out. The blade shone with a brilliant orange light, and inscriptions were engraved on both sides of the blade. On the left was inscribed "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows," and on the right was inscribed "Thus should you contemplate them, like dew and lightning."

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
At the same time, the eight swords stuck in the ground shattered instantly, as if celebrating the birth of the long sword! The bunny girl's injuries also recovered rapidly, and she was back to normal in an instant!

When the bunny girl took out her long sword, Helan Yu, Helan Xun, Banruo, Yaoshi Yuan, and even Bei You stared intently at her sword, all thinking the same name.

Even the Winter Hunt Master, who was meditating at the gate of the mountain stronghold, immediately opened his eyes and stared blankly at the orange-red longsword in the Rabbit Girl's hand, which was radiating brilliant light. His thoughts seemed to return to more than a hundred years ago, recalling that tall and upright man who was only one step away from ascending to heaven.

How could he not recognize it? He had even met the knife's original owner.

"Bingzi Pepper Forest".

"This heroine," she gripped the long sword tightly with both hands, as if playing with a long-awaited toy, her tone filled with intense excitement, "has finally found an opportunity to draw this sword!"
