Chapter 1118: Waking Up
“Gong Yang, your idea is quite excellent.” Pundit Li smiled sinisterly at Qiao Mu, who was standing inside the sword encirclement. He then shouted at the disciples, “Remember, don’t take her life. It will suffice to slice her tendons.”
“Upon closer look, she is rather an unrivalled beauty. It can be considered your good fortune to be able to become this old man’s cultivation vessel, hahahaha,” that geezer declared with a complacent chortle.
Nevertheless, he didn’t forget to release a wave of a level-one spiritual cultivator’s strongest mystic energy to control Qiao Mu inside the sword encirclement.
This sword encirclement hinged on coordination, ama.s.sing the cultivation of more than 50 people and congealing it as one.
Within a short time frame, it was a bit difficult for Qiao Mu to break out of this sword encirclement on her own.
Additionally, her conscious pool had gotten injured just earlier, so she felt a faint headache right now. The best solution was for her to find a secluded place to sit down and continue cultivating so as to recover her spiritual conscious.
However, her present situation did not allow her to stop and rest.
She could only continue fighting!
Of course, in the depths of her heart, she did not fear anyone at all.
Besides, although she did not know what the other party was prattling on about, she knew that it wasn’t anything good upon “seeing” that that person was wearing a vulgar expression.
As if realizing something, a spark of insight suddenly flashed inside the depths of her mind, and she fished out a round bead from her pocket.
“The Duan Clan’s Core Ravaging Thunder!” Gong Yang suddenly screamed, “Hurry and get out of the way! This thing is incomparably destructive!”
Gong Yang had actually been paying attention to Qiao Mu the entire time because he was afraid of her suddenly taking out the Tianji Treasure Blueprint for a crowd kill.
But after waiting for a bit, it wasn’t the Tianji Treasure Blueprint but an immensely dangerous Core Ravaging Thunder that had appeared.
Yet before he could finish screaming, Qiao Mu threw down the Core Ravaging Thunder onto the ground while instinctually sticking teleportation talismans onto herself and Qingluan.
They s.h.i.+fted out of the sword encirclement with a whoosh, teleporting a thousand meters away as fast as lightning.
Pundit Li’s eyes bulged, but before he could react, a huge boom could be heard.
All the Anyi Prefecture disciples that had a.s.sembled together were out of luck.
The disciples that just so happened to be situated in the inner encirclement and at the heart of the Core Ravaging Thunder’s explosion directly had their limbs blasted off into a badly mangled state.
The dozen people in the outer encirclement fared a bit better, but their faces and bodies were still covered with blood as they got knocked away by the blast of the explosion.
The Core Ravaging Thunder’s might alarmed all the mystic beasts in this half of the forest.
For a moment, a fierce roar came out from the depths of the forest, as well.
Because of the bloodfire phoenix egg’s descent previously, all of the beasts had gone into hiding. It was only after seeing that the phoenix egg didn’t do anything that the king of the forest finally dared to let out a roar to indicate its wrath.
Qiao Mu and Qingluan had long turned around to skedaddle, leaving behind an egg. However, the egg sorely hopped and bounced to pursue them, repeatedly shouting in fury, “Stand there, stand right there!”
*Slap!* A large, furry white tail abruptly attacked the bloodfire phoenix egg.
If the phoenix egg hadn’t rolled away fast enough, then it would have already gotten whipped by that tail.
Missing its mark, the tail lashed out a white trace on the ground, causing a huge rock that was half a person tall to be directly lashed into broken bits.
Qiao Mu was taken aback, and she looked down at her empty hands before turning around to “look” at that small, snow-white beast with an ineffable expression.
If she were conscious right now, she would definitely happily shout out, ‘Chirpy, you’ve woken up.’
Yet right now, she looked at them expressionlessly without a ripple of emotion.
