Chapter 588: A Road That Cannot Be Avoided
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The earth-burrowing rats could tell that Xue Fanxin’s cultivation level was not too high and the others were ordinary people with no cultivation level. Therefore, they a.s.sumed that as long as they killed her, the others would also end up in their stomachs.
“If I don’t use the Xue You Flute and the Xue You Sword, how can I deal with these two big guys?” Xue Fanxin had already put away the Xue You Flute. She was fighting the two earth-burrowing rats barehanded.
Although it was called fighting, it was actually dodging in a sorry state.
Apart from exchanging two moves at the start, she had nothing to show. The more she fought, the more miserable she got. In the end, she could only barely escape and survive, unable to land a hit on the two rats at all.
After this battle, she realized how weak she was. She was not ordinarily weak, but very, very weak.
!!
With her strength, she could do well in the Tongxuan Realm and the secular world, but in the Mystic Realm, she could only be beaten.
No wonder Ah Jiu said she had to advance to the Spirit Master Realm before he was willing to take her to Yu City. Otherwise, with her little ability, she would have to rely on him for everything.
This was not the outcome she desired. If she wanted to take revenge personally, she could not seek Ah Jiu’s help.
Perhaps he understood her thoughts and wanted to help her increase her strength. In fact, half of her current strength was obtained with his help.
“Ah Jiu, what should I do? I can’t win against these two rats.” Xue Fanxin’s heart skipped a beat as she dodged an attack. The rat pushed the entire tree with one claw. She had no choice but to jump down from the tree and hide elsewhere.
She used all her methods, including the silver needles and the Heavenly Spirit b.u.t.terfly Dance, but she could not defeat the rats. She could not even injure them.
How could she fight?
“Your reaction is too slow and your moves are all over the place. Your observation ability is almost zero. You haven’t discovered their weakness after fighting with them for nearly an hour. When did Little Xin’er’s eyesight become so bad?” Ye Jiushang drank his tea by the side, having no intention of attacking.
Little Lei took out all kinds of seasoning and made a fire to roast meat. Gu Jinyuan also joined him.
Zhuri and Fuyun stood beside Ye Jiushang and watched Xue Fanxin’s fight.
Xue Batian looked at his granddaughter with extreme worry. Every time she was almost injured, his heart would tighten. However, when he heard Ye Jiushang’s casual tone, he was immediately enraged. “Ye Jiushang, if anything happens to Xin’er, I won’t let you off even if I have to risk my life.”
“Grandpa, this is the path Xin’er must take to grow up. If she wants to become stronger, fighting is a must.” Although Ye Jiushang was not as worried as Xue Batian, he was constantly paying attention to the battle. If anything unexpected happened, he would not let the woman he loved suffer any real harm.
However, she should bear with the small injuries and pain. She could only learn from these mistakes.
Xue Fanxin’s heart calmed down a little. Her mind also cleared up, and she started to adjust her state. She no longer ran around blindly like before. Instead, she searched for their weakness when she dodged the rats’ attacks. After a while, she discovered that the weakness of the earth-burrowing rats was below their necks. Hence, she held two golden needles in her hand. When a rat pounced over, she crouched and shot at the bottom of the rat’s neck.
