Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 138 Fall
Pei Xia was just saying it casually.

Such military experts are easy to deploy. At this time, they would definitely be transferred to the western front. How could they be sent to the rear to capture Master Su? If there were someone in charge, they wouldn't personally lead a team to explore this kind of stone path.

What? You mean a rich kid with connections who's trying to ride on military merits?
LOL, what family has a second-generation soldier? Xie is just a military man.

Han Youzhi wasn't frightened, but her delicate eyebrows furrowed and her expression became serious.

If they surrendered without resistance, others wouldn't be in much trouble; they would simply be dragged over to do unpaid labor. But she and Pei Xia would definitely be in deep trouble.

With their backgrounds, they might be fine in the martial arts world, but if they fell into the hands of the Northern Barbarian authorities, they would be in dire straits—especially now that the two sides are at war.

She didn't have much time to hesitate. Two beams of light appeared in the distant passage, quickly approaching and illuminating the rock wall and the leather armor adorned with iron plates on their bodies.

Leading the group was a square-faced man with a solemn expression, carrying a long knife.

He had very obvious traces of spiritual energy on his body, and it was very strong, indicating that he was a martial artist of considerable skill.

Behind him were more than ten fully armed Northern Barbarian soldiers, but they were all wrapped in black scarves, covering half of their faces.

“Ha, it really is.”

The square-faced man spoke first: "I thought it was just the prosecutors making excuses, but it turns out there really is a spy!"

Before Pei Xia could even speak, the square-faced man waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed towards them.

As soon as they made a move, Pei Xia realized that something was wrong with these people.

Just the agility with which they darted through the stone path was something that ordinary soldiers could not possess. As they drew their weapons, their uniform qi and even manifested spiritual power appeared one by one!

They were all cultivators, and at least all martial artists at the Zhen Gang Realm.

Han Youzhi never expected that the Northern Barbarians would assemble such an elite force just to ruin his business!
Faced with the imminent danger, she had no time to think. She could only open her arms, and six black shadows flew out from under her skirt. At the same time, the spiritual power of the Transformation Realm was like a collapsing wall, pressing down on the newcomers.

Pei Xia then shouted, "People of the martial world are just trying to make a living, why make things difficult for you, sir?"

The square-faced man wasn't buying it. He flipped his hand and revealed a delicate, palm-sized round shield from under his arm armor. He then channeled his spiritual power into it, transforming it into a thick shield that blocked Han Youzhi's overwhelming spiritual power.

"Hmph, what I despise most are you gangsters, all two-faced and selfish!"

He shouted, and the shield in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, actually pushing back the spiritual power that Han Youzhi was pressing down on!

Even with the aid of a magical artifact, someone who can contend with Han Youzhi at the Transformation Realm must be at least at the Transformation Realm.

What the hell? A martial artist of this caliber is a rare top expert even in the army. How could he be here?

In mid-air, six long spikes, carrying immense force, repelled the approaching Northern Barbarian soldiers one by one, and Han Youzhi's expression grew increasingly serious.

“There’s no going back now, let’s make our move,” Pei Xia said to Han Youzhi in a deep voice. “You deal with the leader, I’ll handle the others.”

Although the square-faced man also possessed the cultivation level of the Transformation Realm, his realm was clearly not as profound as Han Youzhi's. As long as she could successfully deal with this guy, everyone else would be no match for her.

Han Youzhi glared at him with some annoyance: "No matter how strong you are, you're still just a Refining Cauldron Realm cultivator..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw hundreds of golden qi emanating from his body. Then, under the control of spiritual power, these qi emanated into tiny flying swords, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds, and surged through the stone path like locusts.

Flying Hundred Swords!

With the help of massive spiritual power and pure qi, these flying swords all possess tremendous impact, and with the blessing of the Calamity Pig's calculation power, each sword seems to be wielded by a truly skilled swordsman.

The dozen or so elite Northern Barbarian soldiers were instantly enveloped in a rain of swords, their spiritual energy and qi erupting with resounding booms, interspersed with low shouts, their energy rippled outwards in waves. Han Youzhi had to admit that almost every time he met this person, Pei Xia would bring unexpected surprises, or frights.

Whether it was the 720-point burst of energy in the wooden cannon, or the breaking of his external avatar at the academy, or even the Flying Hundred Swords at this moment, these are not techniques that one could have at the Refining Cauldron Realm.
Of course, despite her surprise, she wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

Beneath her high-slit long skirt, her ivory-like legs took a step forward, and her voluptuous figure instantly covered several feet. With a twist of her waist and a sway of her body, she swept her slender hand through the air, and six long nails fell down one by one towards the square-faced man!

Han Youzhi's long nail magic artifact is of extremely high quality; upon careful evaluation, it should be classified as a rare treasure.

The strength of this thing lies in the fact that it can be as graceful and agile as Pei Xia's Flying Hundred Swords, or it can be as powerful and heavy as a nail hammered into wood!
The silver sands of the sea, imbued with spiritual energy, surged forth with a chilling, icy aura as they crashed down with each fierce blow.

A strong wind howled, deafeningly loud!
The Su Shi who were hiding behind Han Youzhi and Pei Xia were originally nervous and uneasy because of the arrival of the Northern Barbarians.

Seeing that their situation was very favorable, they began to beam with joy again.

Only Pei Xia, although he had already made a move, still felt that something was not right.

He had previously interacted with people in the military in the three eastern states, and he knew very well that even in the military, there were not many high-level martial artists, and those at the Transformation Realm were even rarer, belonging to a level where one could obtain a high position simply by virtue of their cultivation.

This kind of person, leading a dozen elite men, ventured deep into a tunnel dozens of miles away, just to disrupt Han Youzhi? Or rather, just to capture a few Su Shi?
Hmm, did I just hear him say something about... a spy?
Pei Xia closed her eyes, pondering as she concentrated on consuming computing power to control the flying sword.

Suddenly, her tightly closed eyes trembled.

In one corner of the stone path, a northern barbarian who was being besieged by flying swords finally drew his sword after becoming increasingly desperate.

The moment the sword was drawn, it carried a familiar aura.

Pei Xia opened her eyes and stared intently at the person. He was tall and straight, with long bangs hanging down over the black veil covering his face, revealing only his left eye, which looked exceptionally bright.

Looking at the sword in his hand, its blade was a deep blue, with glittering points of light that seemed to hold the stars within.

"Ye Lu?!"

No sooner had he spoken than Han Youzhi's six long nails coalesced into one, and he slammed them down with all his might onto the square-faced man's shield-like magical artifact.

With a deafening roar, the man's magical artifact finally shattered.

But the overwhelming force that followed forced his body into the stone passage with a "bang".

It's unclear where exactly the blow landed, but with the man's roar, his body was slammed into the ground, and a crack began to spread rapidly along the edge of the pit.

As perceptive as Pei Xia was, she precisely detected a slight disturbance amidst the chaotic noise.

After a brief confirmation, his eyes widened: "The Earth River!"

Not everyone can react in time.

Han Youzhi only heard the pronunciation, but in that instant, how could she possibly guess what Pei Xia was referring to?

As she unleashed her full power at the Transformation Realm, the six magical artifacts advanced even further amidst the chaotic buzzing of spiritual energy!
The crack exploded open with a deafening roar!

The rock walls overhead crumbled, the soil and rocks disintegrated, and countless fissures beneath their feet resembled the gaping maw of a giant beast. Accompanied by the finally clear sound of surging water, darkness instantly enveloped everyone.

Then came the icy waters of the Dihe River!
