The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 233 Crush
"Jinshu, your senior sister can't bear to part with you." Dai Yuzhu pouted, took small steps to Chen Jinshu, and pleaded with her head on her shoulder.

"Seventh Senior Sister, there's no going back on this matter," Chen Jinshu said, patting Dai Yuzhu on the back.

Dai Yuzhu's eyes welled up with tears. She had finally found a junior sister who was younger than her, but they hadn't spent many years together before they had to part ways for ten years.

"Alright, Yuzhu! Junior Sister is going to get rid of her inner demons, which will benefit her cultivation." Bu Yuanxiang's expression was calm, but her slightly lowered eyelids still lingered on Chen Jinshu's face.

The years of cultivating immortality are fleeting, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

However, many things have changed in the past ten years.

I don't know if my junior sister's departure is a good thing or a bad thing.

The other senior brothers didn't say anything sentimental, but they did give Chen Jinshu a lot of good things.

In particular, her fourth senior brother, Huai Jingyi, gifted her a set of fourth-order formations, which she heard were a life-saving item given to her by his grandfather.

Chen Jinshu saw it all, but couldn't bring himself to say no.

The group talked until late at night before parting ways.

……

The next day, the sky was slightly sunny.

The bronze arena was shrouded in a crimson-gold array, and spectators thronged around it.

Numerous immortal sects gathered once again to prepare for this final arena battle.

Chen Jinshu learned from his senior brothers and sisters that the alliance meeting with the Xuanming Sect had not yielded very good results.

In the Foundation Establishment competition, the Jade Purity Sect lagged far behind, with only five people making it to the finals.

Two of them won by sheer luck, and the difficulty of securing victory in subsequent rounds will increase.

Chen Jinshu has already recovered.

Of course, this was mainly due to the abundant spiritual energy brought to her by the Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace, which allowed her to repair all her hidden injuries.

At this point, it's no different from if nothing happened.

However, that Wunian Zhenren wasn't much better off.

Although he eventually made it to the finals, his face was pale, suggesting that he had put in a lot of effort to reach the finals.

"Junior sister, I've found out. Your opponent this time is True Person Fengqi from the Crimson Flame Sect."

"The Crimson Flame Sect?"

"I never expected to run into this sect. I can finally avenge the Feng family for their malicious price gouging back then."

Chen Jinshu recalled how the Feng family had overcharged at the trade fair, relying on their Phoenix Clan artifacts, causing her to pay an extra piece of Purple Thunder Bamboo.

That section of purple thunder bamboo was almost worth a third-grade spiritual treasure on the ground.

"I've heard that this Phoenix Perch True Person has mastered a formation specifically designed to counter sound cultivators. Junior Sister, you must be careful in this battle," Zheng Shaosi whispered a warning.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I think this Phoenix Perch True Person shouldn't be any more troublesome than the No Thought True Person."

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the end of an incense stick's time.

"The Xuanming Sect's Luanque Zhenren faces off against the Chiyan Sect's Fengqi Zhenren!"

With a shout from the Holy Sword Sect elder, the red-robed female cultivator opposite her sneered and flicked her sleeve, causing nine crimson flame rings to swirl in the air, sending waves of scorching heat rushing towards them.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, your meager musical skills are no match for my Blazing Heaven Formation!"

Chen Jinshu did not expect his opponent to be so impatient, immediately unleashing a powerful move.

It seems the other party also understands that if they give her a chance to make a move, her chances of winning are slim.

Seeing that Chen Jinshu remained expressionless, Fengqi Zhenren felt a surge of embarrassment and anger, feeling that he was being looked down upon.

Then he made a hand seal and pointed rapidly, and the nine golden rings suddenly expanded, transforming into nine red suns hanging in the sky.

The arena instantly transformed into a furnace, the jade bricks sizzling and crackling, seemingly about to melt.

"rise!"

Chen Jinshu remained unfazed. With a light tap of his toes, the Yinshan Sparrow appeared, its blue wings creating a hurricane that temporarily halted the flames.

She seized the opportunity to pluck the strings of her zither, and the "Breaking the Formation" melody transformed into thirty-six sound blades that slashed towards the golden ring.

But then the fire rings swirled and intertwined, while the sonic blades disappeared into the sea like mud.

"This formation is specifically designed to counter sound cultivators!" The disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect below the stage burst into laughter.

It seems like victory is just around the corner.

"Little girl from the Xuanming Sect, you've won a few matches by luck and now you think you're so arrogant? Your petty tricks are nothing but an ant trying to shake a tree in front of my Feng family's Li Huo! If you know what's good for you, admit defeat now, so you don't get burned to ashes and needlessly tarnish your master's reputation as a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Her tone was sharp, and her malice was like boiling oil splashed, which drew laughter from the disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect below the stage.

Chen Jinshu's eyes darkened instantly.

She hates it when people bring up her master in such a flippant way.

Her fingertips lightly brushed against the silent green zither at her waist, her voice now carrying a chilling, murderous intent:
"The Phoenix Family's Fire? I hope it's not just a facade."

After saying that, she flicked her wrist, and the Dragon Bone Blood Whip at her waist instantly tore through the air, whistling sharply, and went straight for Phoenix Nest Master's face.

Master Fengqi's smile froze; he clearly hadn't expected her to dare to strike first, and with such a fierce attack.

"Arrogant!" she shouted, her palms blazing with crimson light. A solid crimson fire dragon roared from her palms, its scales and claws menacing, as it met the whip's shadow.

Determined to establish her authority, she unleashed the Feng family's secret technique, "Fire Transformation," instantly turning half the arena crimson with intense, raging fire elemental power, distorting and swirling the air. Boom!

Thunder and fire clashed, and a deafening roar shook the barriers surrounding the arena.

The purple-gold lightning serpent and the crimson flame dragon collided and tore at each other with a deafening roar.

Amidst the raging energy turbulence, Chen Jinshu remained as steadfast as a bamboo shoot in the wind, completely unmoved.

On the other hand, Master Fengqi was so shaken by the aftershocks of the explosion that his blood and qi surged, and he staggered back half a step.

The color drained from her face, and for the first time, disbelief and horror appeared in her eyes.

'This girl's spiritual power is so profound and domineering?'

"impossible!"

Master Fengqi was filled with shame and anger. He rapidly formed hand seals, and a phantom of a fiery phoenix, several meters tall, rose up behind him with a majestic and awe-inspiring presence, letting out a long cry to the sky.

The intense heat swept across the entire arena once again, and even the Golden Core cultivators watching from afar felt a burning sensation on their skin.

This is the 'True Phoenix Burning Heaven Seal', the Feng family's most treasured possession.

"Burn him!" Phoenix Nest Master's face contorted as he thrust his hands forward violently.

The fiery phoenix spread its wings angrily, carrying an aura of destruction capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, and pressed down on Chen Jinshu.

The heatwave surged like a tsunami, as if it would engulf her completely at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jinshu's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

The next instant, she moved like a ghost, charging straight towards the towering fire phoenix.

The dragon bone blood whip in his hand had somehow transformed into countless whip shadows, each one wrapped with condensed, silk-like cyan spiritual power.

The whip's shadows intertwined, rapidly sketching a massive net of green vines in the air before them.
"Vine Drinking Blood Calamity - Thousand Threads Binding!"

The fire phoenix crashed into the giant net of green vines.

The anticipated overwhelming victory did not materialize.

That seemingly supple giant vine net actually contained incredible resilience and absorption power, with countless fine vine strands deeply embedded in the spirit body of the Flame Phoenix.

Zizizi!
The green vines burned fiercely, but the phoenix's form also dimmed and shrank at a visible speed.

Furthermore, strands of pure fire spirit power were flowing wildly back along the vines, greedily devoured by the blood whip, and nourishing Chen Jinshu's body.

She was bathed in the flowing blue and red light, and her aura rose steadily.

"Evil magic! Sorcery!" Phoenix Perch True Person was horrified and frantically channeled his spiritual power, trying to break free.

"Want to escape? It's too late."

Chen Jinshu smiled slightly, never expecting that the Feng family's precious technique would nourish her fire spirit root like never before.

It seems that the Blood Calamity Whip has neutralized most of the malevolent energy.

The green vine tightened its grip, its suction power increasing.

Then Chen Jinshu shouted:
"Yinshan Sparrow!"

The beast-taming bracelet on his wrist flashed with blue and red light.

Clang——!
The cry of the phoenix resounded through the sky.

The Yinshan Sparrow revealed its true form, its three-zhang-long green wings blotting out the sky and its tail feathers glowing crimson with fire. The ancient pressure of the divine beast Qingluan descended with a thunderous roar.

Its sharp eyes locked onto the withered phantom of the fire phoenix, a look of condescension and disdain that came from the depths of its bloodline.

With a sudden flap of its wings, the Yinshan Sparrow unleashed a whirlwind of interwoven blue and red flames that crashed violently into the Flame Phoenix, which was bound by vines and whose spiritual energy was greatly diminished.

"puff!"

The once mighty and imposing fiery phoenix, devoured by the Azure Luan's burning wind, let out a mournful cry and crumbled inch by inch, transforming into a sky full of flowing fire.

Master Fengqi suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His innate spell was broken, and his mind was instantly severely damaged.

call out!
Chen Jinshu moved with ghostly speed, appearing in front of the weakened Phoenix Nest Master in the blink of an eye, his eyes cold and chilling.

"This lash is to repay the 'gift' you forcibly demanded at the trade fair that day!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the long whip in her hand tore through the air and lashed down fiercely!

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Master Fengqi was sent flying into the air, crashing heavily into the protective barrier at the edge of the arena before slid to the ground in a disheveled state, his Taoist robe torn.

A deep, charred welt on his chest, revealing the bone, was gushing blood. His body was convulsing, and he couldn't even utter a miserable groan.

In an instant, the laughter from the Crimson Flame Sect froze on their faces, turning into a deathly pale expression of fear.

In the direction of the Xuanming Sect, Shui Huanmeng sat upright as before, but a faint trace of satisfaction lingered on her lips.

Senior Brother Zheng Shaosi swung his fist fiercely:

"happy!"

Xie Mofeng and the others were also excited.

On the other side of the arena, on a high platform, Leng Yan, the Purple Sword Master of the Holy Sword Sect, stood with her arms crossed. Her cold gaze swept over the green figure holding a whip standing upright on the arena, and she nodded slightly: "Interesting."

The elder referee suppressed the shock in his eyes and announced loudly, his voice resounding throughout the surrounding area:
"Xuanming Sect, Chen Jinshu wins! Ranked among the top five Golden Core cultivators!"
