Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

The treasure-hunting rat was extremely valuable, and the ghost cultivator couldn't bear to kill this scout who could find treasure. In his anger, he waved his hand and unleashed a lightning talisman.

The treasure-hunting rat's pink fur was instantly choked black. It let out a shrill scream and then fainted.

Yu Luoning's eyes darkened.

This old monster kills even his own companions without hesitation.

The boy and the clerk are ordinary people; if they continue to stay here, they will be affected sooner or later.

She made a hand seal, and a purple afterglow appeared out of thin air.

"Go inside, this spell will transport you to a safe place."

The two had just lifted their feet when

A bolt of lightning struck out of nowhere, hitting the purple spell squarely.

The spellcasting was interrupted, and the aura dissipated immediately.

The boy and girl were also thrown over by the aftershocks of the lightning and fell heavily to the ground.

Yu Luoning stood in front of the two, looked up at the ghost cultivator, and said in a deep voice:

"Old monster. Your opponent is me."

The two immediately engaged in a thrilling battle.

Fortunately, Yu Luoning possesses top-tier martial arts techniques, allowing her to hold on despite consistently fighting against stronger opponents.

However, as time went by, Yu Luoning's physical strength gradually gave out, and more seriously, her spiritual power was also gradually being lost.

She had already been fighting with the people of the Sea Dragon Palace for a long time, and now she was just gritting her teeth and holding on.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck. She had no time to dodge and was blasted back more than ten feet, crashing heavily to the ground, where she immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Am I really going to die here today?

Just as the ghost cultivator slowly approached, a dark shadow rushed over at lightning speed.

It was that boy.

He held a short knife, his eyes like a wolf's.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

The ghost cultivator coldly flicked his sleeve, sending the boy flying and crashing to the ground.

But in the instant the blade flashed, a thin, long bloodstain appeared on the ghost cultivator's face.

The boy propped himself up halfway from the ground and gave a cold smile.

"It's worth it. As long as I can hurt you, I'd die happy!"

Just then, the charred little thing on the ground moved.

The treasure-hunting mouse slowly woke up, blinked, and saw its charred paws and fur.

It's bald!!!

The mouse was silent for a second.

gas.

This is infuriating!

It moved quietly, crawling little by little towards Yu Luoning.

A golden light enveloped Yu Luoning, and the rat spoke, but only Yu Luoning could hear its voice.

"The ghost cultivator has a gigantic maw on its abdomen that devours flesh and blood. That's its core, its vital point, where it stores spiritual energy. Just attack that area, and it will temporarily lose its mobility. I'll offer this information in exchange for your life, how about it?"

Yu Luoning was slightly taken aback and glanced at the treasure-hunting rat.

Foolish mouse! There's no reason to reveal your hand first.

"I'll believe you this once. If what you say is true, I'll spare your life today."

Yu Luoning rallied and completely changed her fighting style. She took out the Phoenix Feather Bow and shot several arrows to restrict the ghost cultivator's movements, forcing him to dodge constantly.

Taking advantage of this moment, she raised her hand and pulled off the rope binding her hair bun.

Golden light swirled, and the binding rope transformed into a binding cord, flying out to tightly bind the ghost cultivator, forcing him into a position from which he could not dodge.

The next moment, Yu Luoning used the Transcendental Technique to instantly appear within a step of the ghost cultivator.

She clenched her fists and punched the ghost cultivator in the abdomen again and again, each punch landing with tremendous force.

Her entire body had long been tempered by the Wilderness Body, and the power of her fists was incomparable to that of ordinary people.

The ghost cultivator roared to the sky, his clothes shattering in the wind, and suddenly a huge, pitch-black maw split open from his abdomen.

The next moment, its body indeed froze.

Yu Luoning drew his longsword and plunged it into the giant maw, tearing and slashing it incessantly until the ghost cultivator's roars grew weaker and weaker, until he was on the verge of death.

She watched him warily for a moment, then used the Binding Immortal Rope to tie him up tightly, making him look like a rice dumpling.

The final sword was raised high.

Yu Luoning originally intended to kill him with her own hands, but suddenly she stopped.

He turned his head and looked at the documents not far away.

The little girl stood there, her eyes unfocused, as if she had lost her soul.

Yu Luoning sighed and asked:

"Are you going to make that final move?"

The document's unfocused eyes suddenly regained some focus, and his lips moved slightly.

Yu Luoning added, "It's better for you to avenge your parents yourself."

The scribe glanced at her, then at the dying ghost cultivator on the ground.

She walked over.

There was no crying, no speaking.

The last thing was done by the clerk.

The ghost cultivator is dead, and there has been no further movement.

Before I knew it, a light drizzle began to fall, pattering on the leaves and making a soft, rustling sound.

Yu Luoning tilted her head back, letting the rain hit her face, and raised her hand to touch the fine raindrops.

The weather on the island is really unpredictable.

She lowered her head and saw that her hands were still trembling slightly. She wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Yu Luoning was so exhausted that she had no strength left. She found a tree trunk, leaned against it, and sat down.

The treasure-hunting mouse lay on the mud a few steps away, breathing shallowly, as if it might stop breathing at any moment.

The document stood before it, motionless.

A pair of eyes stared intently at the little mouse for a very, very long time.

She found a sword somewhere.

The sword was too heavy for her; she held it with both hands, the tip trembling, as she slowly approached the treasure-hunting rat.

"Documents".

Exhausted, Yu Luoning spoke:

"It did the work. I promised it I would spare its life today."

The document was never returned.

"It's all its fault. If it hadn't brought the ghost cultivator here, my parents wouldn't have died."

"Yes." Yu Luoning didn't refute, "I know."

"You can kill it anytime. Just not today."

The document finally turned around, its eyes stubborn as it stared at Yu Luoning.

The two remained locked in a stalemate.

The clerk threw the sword on the ground, turned and walked away without looking at the treasure-hunting rat again.

The charred little mouse in the mud quietly raised its head, glanced at Yu Luoning, and then buried its head back down.

Yu Luoning lowered her head, letting the cold rain wet her stray hair.

She looked at the documents not far away, wondering if what she was doing was right.

The rat brought the ghost cultivator with it. The scribe's mother and father were dead. Logically, the scribe should have taken their lives, but she had just stopped him.

Regardless of the rat's motives, it helped itself and indirectly saved everyone else.

This rat is more useful alive than dead; its keen sense of smell allowed it to detect such a faint scent and find the elixir.

There are many things that can be done later. Killing it will only relieve your anger temporarily, while keeping it alive will bring far greater benefits.

Yu Luoning lowered her eyes, watching the rainwater flow down the ground to the low-lying areas.

She thought that if it were her own parents, no matter how powerful the rat was, she would never spare its life.

Even if it helps itself, at most it will only make its death quicker.

She might have made a mistake, but she wasn't entirely right either, and she couldn't truly empathize with the other person.

After a moment, Yu Luoning leaned against the tree trunk to get up and walked to the corpse.

Without looking any further, he bent down and picked up his storage bag.

This old monster has traveled all over the country with the treasure-hunting rat, so he must have a lot of good stuff on him.

She channeled her spiritual energy into her storage bag, and the next instant, a series of crackling sounds rang out as a recoil force sent her hand flying away.

She looked down at her palm and squinted slightly.

The storage bag has restrictions, and the level of restrictions is not low.

Yu Luoning put the storage bag into her Qiankun bag, already having made up her mind.

Mo Fei had given her a book called "Enlightenment Chapter of Heavenly Craftsmanship Restrictions." The Mo family established itself by passing down restrictions, so that book might contain a way to break the laws.

My spiritual energy hasn't recovered yet, so this isn't the time to delve into it.

After I calm down and study it carefully, I will try to deal with this seal again.

She clapped her hands, turned around, and walked away.
