Si Minglan sneered coldly, "Ye Xiyue, the world says you are a fairy of this era, but they donât know that you are selfish and indifferent, caring only about yourself. You harmed me, so why canât I act against you?"
Ye Xiyue looked her up and down and nodded, "No wonder you have a Top-grade Spirit Root. Even with a Heart Demon in your way, you can forcefully break through a Realm for a moment. Itâs no wonder you escaped from Zheng Shengmoâs clutches."
Mo Xiaolan stood in front of Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe, asking, "Taoist Friend Ye, why do you want to kill Qin Gengyun and Taoist Friend Qiu?"
She could sense the killing intent emanating from Ye Xiyue but couldnât determine if it targeted Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, or both.
Ye Xiyue was silent for a moment before she spoke indifferently, "Originally, I only intended to kill one person. If you all block my way, I can only kill a few more."
The one she intended to kill was Qin Gengyun, and the identity of this woman named Qiu Zhihe standing before her was not yet clear,
Fang Xue rushed in, shouting, "Senior Sister, you say you canât save the world, so at least protect yourself. Why do you still want to kill?"
Ye Xiyue turned around, "Junior Sister, is your heart clear now?"
Fang Xue hesitated, blankly shaking her head.
Ye Xiyue suddenly displayed a slightly sinister smile, "Once I kill them and capture Qiu Zhihe, your heart will be clear."
With that, she casually raised her hand and sent out another lightweight Sword Qi. The trio before her dared not be careless and exerted all their strength to barely block it.
But the three were continuously retreating, being forced step by step back into the springwater.
"Senior Sister! Why?!"
With her cultivation sealed, Fang Xue could only watch this scene helplessly when suddenly a subtle voice sounded in her ear:
"Xiaoxue, itâs me."
Uncle Qin?
Fang Xue was startled, looking at Qin Gengyun, who was in the spring with closed eyes. The voice continued to echo in her ears:
"Ye Xiyue will soon discover my voice transmission. Quickly throw all the pills in my clothes into that nearby pool, Si Minglan should know what to do!"
Without time to think further, Fang Xue immediately ran to the side, found Qin Gengyunâs clothes, and indeed found dozens of pills of various colors inside.
"Shattered Jade Fury Divine Pill, Soul-Breaking Godslaying Pill, Sacrificial Godslaying Pill, Selfless Red Fury Pill..."
Fang Xue recognized quite a few of these pills as ones that provide a temporary boost in combat power but will cause considerable side effects afterward.
There were a few she didnât recognize, especially one that was particularly conspicuous with its pink color, of which there were seven or eight pills, and she didnât know their effects.
But Fang Xue understood Qin Gengyunâs intention.
These pills provide a temporary boost in combat power when taken singularly, with side effects that can be barely tolerated, but taking so many at once would probably result in overwhelming side effects.
Let alone boosting combat power, it might even result in collapsing directly onto the ground.
Uncle Qin intends to incapacitate Senior Sister with the pills!
Fang Xue hastily tossed these dozens of pills into the nearby smaller pool.
The Bone Marrow Cleansing Spring, already rich in Spiritual Power, would help the pillsâ effects to disperse, and once these pills were in the spring, the originally clear springwater instantly changed color.
Red, blue, green, and pink mixed together into a chaotic riot of colors.
If someone were to soak in this for a moment, theyâd probably be incapacitated immediately, wouldnât they?
Ye Xiyue naturally noticed Fang Xueâs actions and saw through her intention with a slight shake of her head, as if watching a childâs play.
Si Minglan also understood instantly and immediately said to Mo Xiaolan and Yun Zhen, "Letâs try to force her into that pool!"
The two nodded, also understanding the combat strategy.
But understanding was one thing; now they were the ones being forced into the spring by Ye Xiyue, so where would they find the strength to push her back instead?
Qinglian Xia, Zhenyang Ye, Lei Jiansu, the Three Great Immortals of the world, are indeed not just talk.
Even heavily injured, with only Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivation, their combat power rivals that of a Golden Core Cultivator.
Mo Xiaolanâs current combat power is already capable of defeating high-tier opponents three layers higher, but against Ye Xiyue, she also stands no chance.
Along with Second-Layer Foundation Establishment Si Minglan and First-Layer Foundation Establishment Yun Zhen, they can barely fend for themselves, let alone push someone into the "Medicine Pool."
Ye Xiyue didnât seem to want to waste any more time; her lightweight Sword Qi suddenly became heavy, carrying an exceedingly chilling aura and merciless killing intent.
"Supreme Heart-Severing Sword!"
Si Minglanâs expression changed, but Mo Xiaolanâs Orchid in her hand grew large and dazzling, standing in front of Si Minglan and Yun Zhen.
"You take Qin Gengyun and Taoist Friend Qiu away, Iâll hold her... for a moment."
Mo Xiaolan estimated she could at most hold her off for a moment, but she still stood firmly in front of everyone.
A few moments more, maybe Qin Gengyun and the others would survive.
"What a pity." Ye Xiyue glanced at her, her expression growing colder, her mind seemingly set, and then waved a finger.
"Sister Mo!"
Fang Xueâs eyes went wide as she saw the icy Sword Aura about to clash with Mo Xiaolanâs Orchid when suddenly, a massive stick fell from the sky, standing beside the Orchid.
At the same time, a faint blue eye appeared in the air, glaring at Ye Xiyue.
Ye Xiyue let out a surprised sound, seemingly somewhat affected, but the Sword Aura only hesitated for a moment before still stabbing into the giant stick and Orchid.
A loud bang erupted, and a dazzling light shot skyward, piercing the heavens!
This was the shockwave from the collision of Sword Qi, the giant stick, and the Orchid.
All the stone walls of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Spring shattered, resulting in a rain of stones everywhere and a sky full of dust!
"Qin Gengyun, you shouldnât have interrupted."
Mo Xiaolanâs body wavered, turning to look at Qin Gengyun. She had been injured by Ye Xiyue before and had just forced a hard confrontation, leaving her blood and vitality churning, nearly unable to stand.
Qin Gengyun reached out to support her delicate body, sighing, "I canât just watch you all die."
His sigh was because he saw Mo Xiaolan hurt, but even more so due to his concern for his wife.
Actually, interrupting the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique was Qiu Zhiheâs idea.
When Ye Xiyue walked in, Qiu Zhihe awakened and forcibly interrupted the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique, which allowed Qin Gengyun and Liu Su to intervene.
But at this moment, the conflict of Spiritual Power within Qiu Zhihe was far from resolved, and interrupting her treatment caused significant harm to her.
Mo Xiaolan vaguely understood this and apologized, "Iâm sorry, I couldnât help."
"How can I blame you? You stepped in to help us despite..." Qin Gengyun suddenly felt Mo Xiaolanâs body stiffen in his arms.
He then realized that he was so eager to assist that he hadnât even had time to put on clothes.
Now he and Mo Xiaolan were standing too close, neither of them fully dressed, with Mo Xiaolanâs clothes completely soaked. In such a state, they indeed found it somewhat awkward.
Before they even had a chance to blush, they saw a massive circular Array appear above Ye Xiyueâs head, from which thousands of swords surged forth with fierce killing intent!
Thousand Sword Array!
Qiu Zhihe floated in mid-air, water droplets trickling down her graceful figure, exuding unparalleled allure.
Yet, the Thousand Sword Array behind her brimmed with killing intent, the sight of a drenched beauty with a peerless sword array was breathtaking.
"Go!"
Qiu Zhihe gracefully waved her slender hand, and the thousand swords shot forth, not raining down widely but forming a massive Sword Dragon that roared as it charged toward Ye Xiyue!
"Thousand Swords Formation: Dragon Slayer!"
