23: Chapter 23 Eating Albizia julibrissin again
"Xiang Tian, you are actually quite strong. Fortunately, Cheng Li has a backup plan."
As soon as the voice fell, another group of figures darted out from the woods and blocked the front of the carriage.
Xiang Tian lifted the carriage curtain to look, his pupils shrinking instantly: "Damn, they are actually in the Supernatural Realm!"
He scanned them roughly; among this group, there were three Cultivators in the Supernatural Realm, and the rest were all at the Peak of the Opening Aperture Realm.
"They really think highly of me." Xiang Tian rolled his eyes.
The strength of the Supernatural Realm was far beyond his current level. Let alone slapping them, even in a head-on confrontation, he might not be able to take a single move, and he might even be shaken to death by their spiritual energy.
"Master, can you leave these people to me now?" Bai Yu jumped out of Xiang Tian's arms, transformed into her human form, and stared at the Cultivators opposite with a grave expression.
Since there were Supernatural Realm experts among these people, it would be strenuous for her to deal with them, but it was better than letting Xiang Tian die.
"That goes without saying." Xiang Tian nodded; he was very clear about his own strength.
Just as Bai Yu was condensing her spiritual energy and preparing to make a move, a cold voice suddenly came from afar: "Deacon Yang, you have some nerve. You dare to touch my people?"
As the voice fell, a biting chill gradually approached, making everyone present shiver uncontrollably.
"Hmm? Xiao Yun?" Xiang Tian's eyes lit up. The person who arrived was none other than Xiahou Yun!
He knew it; Xiahou Yun appeared cold, but she was actually a woman with a cold exterior and a warm heart.
Xiahou Yun did not look at Xiang Tian, her gaze fixed tightly on the middle-aged Cultivator leading the group opposite: "Deacon Yang, you are not staying in the Sect, but bringing so many people to block the road. Are you trying to rebel?"
Deacon Yang's expression changed. He then took out a jade Talisman from his bosom, crushed it, and sneered: "Xiahou Yun, I don't have the ability to deal with you. Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, the target has appeared!"
"Hmph! So they were indeed coming for me." Xiahou Yun snorted coldly.
Xiang Tian suddenly realized that Cheng Li arranging so many people was not to kill him at all, but to lure out Xiahou Yun!
"Why did you follow?"
"Stop talking nonsense and find a chance to run away quickly." Xiahou Yun lowered her voice, "These people are coming for me; you will only be a hindrance if you stay here."
"Can you deal with so many people by yourself?" Xiang Tian looked at the increasing number of figures opposite and frowned tightly.
"Could we deal with them if you stayed?" Xiahou Yun retorted.
"You woman, can you speak a little more nicely?" Xiang Tian was somewhat helpless.
Xiahou Yun turned her head and glared at him; the Aura radiating from her body made Xiang Tian shut his mouth instantly.
"A real man doesn't fight with a woman." Xiang Tian muttered to himself. At this critical juncture, he could not let Xiahou Yun be distracted.
Not far away, two figures flew over rapidly; they were none other than the Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder of the Haotian Sect.
The Fifth Elder looked at Xiahou Yun with a mocking tone: "Xiahou Yun, you have the Sect Leader backing you in the Sect, but here, no one can help you. Are you still counting on this trash of a fiancé beside you?"
"Hmph! I have said before that my ambition is not the Sect Leader position; there is no need for you to drive me to extinction." Xiahou Yun's eyes were cold.
"I only trust dead people." The Fifth Elder sneered, "Today, you will undoubtedly die!"
Deacon Yang and Cheng Li hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the two Elders: "Greetings, Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder!"
Cheng Li stood behind the Elders, looking at Xiahou Yun with venomous eyes: "Xiahou Yun, you severed my arm last time. Today, let's settle this!"
Xiahou Yun ignored Cheng Li. The spiritual energy on her body erupted instantly, pushing Xiang Tian far away: "Stay away!"
"Stop talking nonsense, do it!" The Fifth Elder initiated the attack first, slapping his palm towards Xiahou Yun.
"Sword-Breaking Form!" Xiahou Yun held a white longsword and swept it out with one strike.
The palm force collided with the Sword Qi.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, both of them retreated one step; they had actually fought to a draw.
"The little girl is quite strong." The Fifth Elder raised his eyebrows and then attacked again: "Angry Voice Palm!"
The power of this palm was stronger than before. Xiahou Yun did not dare to be careless and hurriedly circulated her spiritual energy to resist.
Just at this moment, the Seventh Elder suddenly attacked: "Wild Fire Palm!"
A red fire palm struck towards Xiahou Yun.
"Boom!" Xiahou Yun was caught in the pincer attack of the two forces, which hit her squarely, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
The attacks on the field were wave after wave. The Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder took turns attacking, and Xiahou Yun gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Ice Seal!" Xiahou Yun executed a sword move, attempting to freeze the movements of the two Elders, but as soon as it made contact, it was broken by the opponent's spiritual energy.
"Break for me!" The Seventh Elder slapped and shattered the ice crystals, the palm wind heading straight for Xiahou Yun's face.
"Rear Sword Form!" Xiahou Yun swung her sword to block, but was shaken by the Seventh Elder's palm force, making her arm numb.
"Iron Wood Shield!" The Fifth Elder summoned a wooden shield, blocking Xiahou Yun's counterattack.
"Xiahou Yun, your talent is very strong, that is true, but you are still too young and need time to grow." The Fifth Elder opened his mouth slowly, "Therefore, today, you will surely die at our hands."
Xiahou Yun's expression was cold. She knew very well that she could barely hold on against one Elder, but with two Elders joining forces, she simply could not cope.
"You are the most talented Disciple I have ever seen, what a pity." The Fifth Elder shook his head and punched towards Xiahou Yun's chest.
"Puff!" Xiahou Yun was shaken away by the powerful energy, fell heavily to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Not good, Xiahou Yun cannot win!" Xiang Tian's brows were tightly locked, his heart filled with anxiety.
"System, think of a way quickly!" Xiang Tian shouted in his heart.
[ Host, are you willing to accept the mission? ]
"As long as I can save Xiahou Yun, I will accept any mission!" Xiang Tian said without hesitation.
[ Good, next mission: Help Xiahou Yun eliminate all the forces of the Grand Elder's lineage. After completing the mission, you will be rewarded with a lottery chance and the complete version of the Immaculate Sword Art. ]
"No problem!" Xiang Tian agreed without even thinking.
Seeing the Fifth Elder launching an attack towards Xiahou Yun again, Xiang Tian did not hesitate any longer. He circulated the spiritual energy in his body to the extreme, rushed up quickly, and held Xiahou Yun in his arms.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Xiahou Yun asked weakly.
"What are you saying? Even if we didn't have a marriage contract, I am still your brother-in-law! I can't just watch you get beaten to death, right?" Xiang Tian grinned.
"With your cultivation, what help can you be?" Xiahou Yun frowned.
"I never said I was going to fight them." As soon as Xiang Tian finished speaking, he felt a force envelop him, Xiahou Yun, and Bai Yu. The next second, the figures of the three disappeared from the spot instantly.
"Fifth Elder, they have disappeared!" Deacon Yang exclaimed.
The Fifth Elder's expression was gloomy: "They must have used some kind of teleportation Talisman. They shouldn't have run far. Hurry up and find them! Whoever finds them, I will reward them with a bottle of Divine Pill!"
When the crowd heard there was a reward, they immediately scattered and searched nearby.
But how could they know that Xiang Tian was teleported away by the System? Since the System had to ensure the host's safety, how could it let them find them easily?
In a remote cave, Xiang Tian gently placed Xiahou Yun on the bed.
Just after lying down, Xiahou Yun spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Yun, how are you?" Xiang Tian hurriedly stepped forward and held her shoulders.
"Xiang Tian, my injuries are too severe; I'm afraid I won't make it back." Xiahou Yun said weakly, her voice getting smaller and smaller.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiang Tian became anxious, "Have you forgotten that you still need to ascend to the Peak of the Lingyun Continent? How can you give up here?"
"No, my internal organs have all been shattered; I'm afraid I cannot last for a few more hours... Puff!" After Xiahou Yun finished speaking, she spat out another mouthful of blood, her breath becoming weaker and weaker.
Xiang Tian could clearly feel that Xiahou Yun's life force was fading rapidly. He was anxious and panicked: "No, I absolutely cannot let you die! If you die, I won't have a backer!"
"Is that all the ambition you have?" Xiahou Yun gave a bitter smile, "Do not let the news of my death be spread back. With the Sect Leader there, you will still be safe... Cough, cough, cough..."
She coughed up another pool of blood, and her body began to tremble slightly.
"Xiahou Yun, listen to me clearly!" Xiang Tian grabbed her hand, "I do not allow you to die; you absolutely cannot die!"
If he had known that these people's target was Xiahou Yun, he would not have come out to do the mission no matter what, causing Xiahou Yun to fall into danger.
"Xiang Tian... you... Puff!" Xiahou Yun was trembling with anger at Xiang Tian, but as soon as she got agitated, she coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"I definitely have a way to save you!" Xiang Tian hurriedly comforted her.
"System, no matter what method you have, you must save her!"
[ Host, saving her was originally very complicated, but I have a very good method. ]
"Tell me quickly!" Xiang Tian urged.
[ Don't you still have dozens of hehuan grass? Using the juice of the hehuan grass, combined with your spiritual energy, can quickly repair her damaged internal organs. ]
"Again?" Xiang Tian was stunned, "If I use hehuan grass, there is no way to avoid the aphrodisiac effect, alright!"
[ Host, this is the best method so far. ]
[ Moreover, if she isn't injured, how can you play the hero saving the beauty? How can you win the beauty's heart? ]
"Your words... I have no way to refute." Xiang Tian's mouth twitched, "No, how did you lead me astray? Saving the person is the main point!"
He did not hesitate any longer, took out fifty stalks of hehuan grass from his Storage Pouch, crushed them quickly, and dripped the juice into Xiahou Yun's cherry lips.
Half an hour later, Xiang Tian sat on the side, feeling uneasy: "This woman has eaten so much hehuan grass; will she explode?"
But the next second, he saw Xiahou Yun's complexion gradually becoming rosy, the wounds on her body were also healing rapidly, and her originally weak breath became much more stable.
"Damn, this hehuan grass is really a miraculous medicine; it's so awesome!" Xiang Tian said in surprise.
After a while, Xiahou Yun's skin gradually flushed, her body began to twist slightly, and her originally cold eyes became blurred, filled with moisture, looking at Xiang Tian with deep affection.
She slowly opened her eyes, her voice carrying a hint of hoarseness and charm: "Xiang Tian... what did you give me to eat... I'm so hot..."
When Xiahou Yun was fighting earlier, her clothes were torn in several places. Through the holes, one could see the faintly visible flushed skin, and combined with her twisting posture, it was exceptionally alluring.
Xiang Tian swallowed his saliva and said awkwardly: "Don't resist; I fed you nearly fifty stalks of hehuan grass to quickly repair your injuries."
"What?" Xiahou Yun was immediately furious, struggling to get up, "You actually fed me so much hehuan grass?"
How could she not know the effect of hehuan grass? This was simply pushing her into a pit of fire!
