Chapter 40 – Blood Stained Jasmine (Middle)

There weren’t many stores on the streets of Qinglin Town, but they had everything. Yun Che’s brows tightened as his footsteps quickened, and he soon turned into a medicine store on his right.

“Boss, are there any Purple Marigold Flowers and Iron Sand Vines?” After entering the drugstore, Yun Che directly said, while his gaze quickly swept through the drugstore.

The owner of the pharmacy was a listless looking middle-aged man, and the two herbs Yun Che wanted were both ordinary herbs that were no more common, the Purple Marigold Flower could dispel wind-cold, and the Iron Sand Vine could refine the lowest level of Return to Xuan Dan, and both could be found all over the place, and the prices were also very cheap. He breathlessly responded, “Yes, how much do you want?”

“Come with half a catty of each!” Yun Che said quickly.

The boss casually wrapped the medicine and threw it to him, “Twenty Huang Xuan coins in total.”

[Remarks: There are three types of currencies circulating in the Tianxuan Continent, namely Yellow Xuan Coins, Green Xuan Coins, and Purple Xuan Coins. 1 Purple Xuan Coin = 100 Green Xuan Coins = 10,000 Yellow Xuan Coins. Xuan coin value reference: the average family in Tianxuan Continent earns around 30,000 Huang Xuan coins a year, which is 3 purple coins].

Placing the Xuan Coins on the counter, Yun Che left with quick steps. Then without stopping along the way, he headed straight towards the southern exit of the town.

Xiao Ba, on the other hand, had also spotted his figure, but didn’t rush to make a move, and followed him with an expressionless face.

The exit of Qinglin Town soon appeared ahead. To the south from Qinglin Town, there would be an endless mountain range called the Red Dragon Mountain Range. It was inhabited by all sorts of Xuan Beasts and was very dangerous. Even the Xuan practitioners or mercenary groups in Qinglin Town that had notable strength would only dare to operate in the outermost part of the mountain range. Once they went deeper, they would encounter higher level Xuan Beasts and would often die once. The reason why this mountain range was called the Red Dragon Mountain Range was because it was rumored that in the center of the mountain range, there was a huge hot dragon that could spray scorching flames, thus earning its name.

But it is only a legend, no one has ever really seen it. And the dragon as the supreme Xuan Beast, even the lowest grade of dragon, the power is also high and terrifying, even if it really exists, the person who can see it is unlikely to come back alive.

When he stepped into the territory of the Red Dragon Mountain Range, Yun Che slowly inhaled a breath, and clutched the two packets of medicine that he had just bought from the pharmacy to his chest with his right hand, and covered it with his left hand, and the light of the Heavenly Poison Bead flickered …… instantly, a large amount of crumbs fell out from between his hands, and when Yun Che removed his left hand, in the palm of his hand, only a small pile of purple-black powder remained,

The Purple Marigold Flower was not toxic, nor was the Iron Sand Vine, and taking the two together would likewise not trigger any toxic reactions. And even if they were toxic, to a strong person who had reached the Spirit Xuan Realm, the effect of ordinary poison would be minimal, if not completely ineffective.

However, the powder formed after the extraction and fusion of a certain ingredient contained in the Purple Marigold Flower and the Iron Sand Vine respectively, had an extremely powerful irritating effect on the eyes. If it was dipped into the eyeballs, even if the Xuan Power was strong, there would be blindness for a certain period of time.

Pinching this handful of powder in his hand, Yun Che slowly turned back and looked towards Xiao Ba, who had noiselessly appeared behind him less than ten steps away like a ghost.

For Yun Che to discover him, Xiao Ba was slightly surprised as he scornfully looked at Yun Che and coldly said, ”Your name is Xiao Che, right? That trash who was expelled from the Xiao Sect!”

“No, Yun Che!” Yun Che confronted him with a good grace, his face completely devoid of fear.

“Hmph!” Xiao Ba was clearly not interested in what his name was, and he was even more unresponsive to his overly calm stance, as a Xuan Vein Crippled Super Waste did not need him to overthink it at all, “By order of the Young Lord, I’m sending you to meet the King of Hell. In your next life, remember not to ignorantly mess with people you can’t afford to mess with!”

As his voice fell, Xiao Bachi’s hand already had a brightly shining short blade in it, then with a flick of his right hand, that short blade flew straight at Yun Che with a piercing air-breaking sound……. Xiao Maniacal Cloud had told him to waste Yun Che’s face and tongue, but he obviously didn’t have the patience to waste so much movement and time on a complete and utter waste of time, and didn’t even bother to touch him, and directly flew out with a blade that went straight for his throat.

When Xiao Ba suddenly took out his short blade, Yun Che’s eyebrows jerked, and when Xiao Ba’s right hand flung out, his heart was finally shocked …… He had already prepared himself to deal with Xiao Ba rushing over to strike him hard, but, he had not expected at all that this Xiao Zong’s person who had at least the Spirit Xuan Realm to deal with him, a piece of scum, would actually still use a weapon! Moreover, he was still using a flying dagger to shoot!

With his Xuan energy low to the extreme body, how could he dodge the flying dagger shot of a Spirit Xuan realm powerhouse.

Was this Xiao Ba’s temperament twisted? Surprisingly, he doesn’t follow normal human thinking! Killing me a person without Xuan power actually uses a weapon, isn’t he afraid of losing face when he says it?…… Yun Che cursed feebly in his heart, the cold aura in his pupils was approaching extremely fast, his consciousness allowed him to react to dodge at the first moment, but it was simply impossible for his sluggish body to dodge it… …

Just at the moment when Yun Che’s throat was about to be pierced through by this flying dagger, a lightning-like red shadow suddenly shot out from Yun Che’s body, plummeting towards Xiao Ba ……

Hiss ~~~~~~~

The short blade did not hit Yun Che’s throat, and even, the existence of that short blade was no longer present in his pupils at all, but right behind Xiao Bachi, there was a small and delicate figure. She had her back to Yun Che, a white dress, bare as white jade-like calves and jade feet, her crimson hair had been cascading down to her waist, demonic and unrivaled.

And above her right hand, she was clearly holding that short blade that Xiao Ba had shot out earlier!

This girl …… her clothes, and red hair …… could it be that ……

Xiao eight still maintains the posture of throwing out the short blade, the whole person froze there, dead quiet, he did not turn around, even his expression and body movements have not the slightest change, such as being frozen in time, the only change, is his pair of pupils, actually contracted to the size of a needle’s eye, as in that moment to see the most horrifying picture in this world… …

A cool wind slowly brushed by at this time, Xiao eight upright body in the light wind suddenly collapsed …… right! It was collapsing, collapsing piece by piece like piled up blocks, turning into a field of blood and water and countless tiny broken corpses.

The wind blew into Yun Che’s face, bringing up a pungent smell of blood. His entire body froze there, looking at the back of the red-haired girl in front of him, his pupils shrinking violently, his breath completely held, and even his heartbeat, almost completely stopped.

Her dress and red hair told him that this was clearly the girl he had met in the back of the mountain that night and brought to the Heavenly Poison Pearl. And after entering the Heavenly Poison Pearl, she had been sleeping …… And at this time, she woke up and walked out of the Heavenly Poison Pearl on her own, and allowed him to see the most horrifying scene in this Tianxuan Continent so far ……

In that instant just now, this girl clearly grabbed the short blade that would immediately stab him in the throat, and then rushed towards Xiao Bachi, killing him …… The entire process, only a flash of red light could be seen, only a brief and incomparable moment …… Xiao Bachi’s Body completely shattered, and to shatter to this degree in front of him, at least a few hundred knives should be cut across his body ……

That is to say, this girl in that instant just now, not only seized the short blade that almost took his life, but also used this short blade to cut out at least a few hundred knives on Xiao Ba’s body!

Was this …… an ability that a little girl could have?

No! This is the realm that a “human being” can reach!

When!

“Well……”

In Yun Che’s extreme shock, the short sword in the girl’s hand suddenly fell to the ground and let out a pained cry as if it was the cry of a small animal. Following that, her entire body slowly crouched to the ground, her petite body shivering slightly as if she was bathed in an icy cold wind ……

“This abominable Deicide Absolute Gothic Poison …… This princess only used such a small amount of power …… actually …… backfired to …… this extent …… Well ……”

The girl’s voice was weak and agonizing, as if she was enduring great torture. Yun Che took two tentative steps forward, and every time his gaze came into contact with that pool of blood, a chill would run through his heart……. What exactly is this girl with red hair! Xiao Ba came from the Xiao Sect, and her strength was at least at the low level Spirit Xuan Realm! Looking at the entire Liuyun City, there was almost no one who could defeat him, yet he was killed by this girl in an instant!

This girl clearly looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old! For a girl of this age to reach the third level of the Junior Xuan Realm is already quite impressive. Xia Qingyue, at the age of sixteen, reached the tenth level of the Primary Xuan realm and was already recognized as the first genius of the entire city, this girl …… this girl ……

After returning to this Tianxuan Continent, for the first time in Yun Che’s heart, a true sense of shock was born. It was because the scene that he saw in front of him had completely exceeded his perceptions …… for two whole lifetimes!

Yun Che took a heavy breath, tried to calm his mind, clenched his teeth, and finally spoke, “Little sister, are you …… awake?”

Hearing Yun Che’s voice, the slight trembling of the girl’s body stopped, she slowly stood up and turned around, revealing that delicate doll-like tender face, only that this face, which was so beautiful that people couldn’t believe it even though it was childish, at this time carried obvious pain, she eyed Yun Che, her voice was green and icy: “It’s really unbelievable that the Celestial Poison Bead, would even recognize you as such a useless mortal as the master! Has the spirituality of this Xuan Heavenly Supreme Treasure been twisted?”

Technically speaking, this was the first time Yun Che had truly faced her. Although he had visited her in the Heavenly Poison Bead many times a day these days, at this time when he looked at her once again, Yun Che still had a feeling that he could not move his eyes away. Because this girl was simply too beautiful, so beautiful that it captured the soul, every part of her snowy face was exquisite to the point of perfection, and it was the kind of perfection that reached the extreme and could not be described.

Her eyes were as crystalline as black gems, and as deep as the night sky. From her eyes, Yun Che saw a kind of arrogance …… but this kind of arrogance is by no means the kind of arrogance and haughtiness that Xiao Maniac Yun is born out of power, but a kind of nobility and arrogance from the soul, as if all the spirits of the world are all ants under her eyes, and all the things of the world are as small as dust in her eyes. ……………………

Qinglin Town, inside the tavern.

The food and wine were served, but Xiao Ba still hadn’t returned.

Xiao Maniac Yun began to get impatient and coldly grunted, ”Dealing with a loser, actually wasting so much time. Hmph, it couldn’t be that he is lost in this strange place, right? Xiao Jiu, go and take a look!”

“Yes, Young Lord!” Xiao Jiu received the order and immediately got up, walked out of the tavern and headed in the direction Xiao Bachi was chasing before.
