Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

The radiance of the spirit crystal chalcedony was like the rising sun, dispelling the gloom of the hall and illuminating every corner. That pure light contained a heart-pounding, powerful spiritual energy, like a beating heart, drawing everyone's attention. Gongsun Yu's eyes gleamed with greed. He growled and shot towards the stone platform like an arrow, completely ignoring the presence of Yan Yue and Nangong Xue.

"Don't even think about it!" Yan Yue snorted coldly. Her combat experience as a psychic in her previous life allowed her to react instantly. With a flick of her fingertips, a nearly unnoticeable pale golden rune quietly emerged and merged with the sole of her foot. This was the acceleration spell she had created in her previous life—the Flowing Light Step. Now used in the world of immortal cultivation, it was surprisingly effective. Her figure blurred in an instant. As fast as lightning, she unexpectedly arrived first, approaching the Spirit Crystal Jade Marrow faster than Gongsun Yu.

Nangong Xue was shocked upon seeing this. This peasant girl's strength was far more unfathomable than she had imagined. She had originally thought Yan Yue was just an ordinary cultivator with good luck and a bit of cleverness, but now it seemed that she had underestimated her. Nangong Xue's eyes flickered as she pondered how to deal with the situation.

Yan Yue's speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, she reached the stone platform. She stretched out her hand, her fingertips just inches from the softly radiant spiritual crystal, chalcedony. The rich spiritual energy emanating from the chalcedony made her feel comfortable, and her spiritual power intensified. If she could obtain this chalcedony, her cultivation would surely soar!

Just when Yan Yue was about to touch the chalcedony, something strange happened!

Seeing that he had been beaten to the punch by an unknown peasant girl, Gongsun Yu was enraged. His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared desperately, "Bitch, how dare you!" He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttering something, and a strange black rune appeared on his chest. A powerful wave of energy, carrying a destructive aura, erupted from him.

This was his most powerful forbidden technique—Blood Evil Burning Soul! It burned his own blood and soul in exchange for a brief burst of powerful strength.

The entire hall trembled as the forbidden technique was unleashed. Gongsun Yu's strength instantly increased several times, and the air around him became distorted. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped the air in Yan Yue's direction. A powerful force instantly transformed the space around Yan Yue.

Yan Yue's eyes flashed as the surrounding scene shifted in an instant. Her hand, about to touch the Spirit Crystal Jadeite, missed. She found herself trapped in a small, distorted cage.

"You..." Yan Yue's face changed and he looked at Gongsun Yu. For the first time, a serious look appeared in his eyes.

Gongsun Yu looked at the trapped Yan Yue with a ferocious smile on his face. "You think you can snatch the Spirit Crystal Jade from me? Wishful thinking!" He walked towards the trapped Yan Yue step by step, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. "Now, let me see what else you are capable of!"

He slowly raised his hand, and black energy gathered in his palm...

Yan Yue was trapped in a twisted cage of space, the air around her frozen, the pressure barely suffocating her. The power Gongsun Yu had amassed by burning his blood and soul was far greater than she had imagined. This force not only restricted her movements but also felt like an invisible mountain, choking her breath. She could sense the space shrinking. If she couldn't break through in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

But Yan Yue didn't panic. Countless brinks of death in her past life had sharpened her mind. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer she became. She closed her eyes, carefully sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding space, trying to find a flaw.

Gongsun Yu approached with a snarling grin, black energy surging in his hands like a venomous snake devouring its prey. "Prepare for death!" he said sinisterly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

At this moment, Yan Yue suddenly opened her eyes. She had found it! In the upper right corner of the spatial cage, there was a spot where the energy fluctuations were unusually weak. That was the weak spot in this distorted space!

Without any hesitation, Yan Yue mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, condensed it at his fingertips, and transformed it into a sharp golden beam of light, hitting the weak point of the space wall directly.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the wall of space trembled slightly and a crack appeared.

Gongsun Yu's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Yan Yue to find the weakness of the space so quickly. He quickly increased the power of the forbidden technique, and the speed of the space contraction suddenly increased, trying to crush Yan Yue completely.

The pressure in the space intensified, and Yan Yue felt her bones groan under the strain. But she didn't give up; instead, her fighting spirit was fueled. She gritted her teeth, concentrating her spiritual energy once more. Golden beams of light rained down like a torrential downpour, piercing the weak points in the spatial wall.

At the same time, she did not forget to attack Gongsun Yu. She quickly formed seals with her hands, and waves of spiritual energy containing powerful force spread out like ripples, continuously impacting Gongsun Yu's body.

Gongsun Yu was forced to divert some of his strength to resist Yan Yue's attack. While maintaining the forbidden technique and resisting the impact of the spiritual energy wave, his face gradually turned pale. While the Blood Evil Burning Soul could grant him a powerful boost in a short period of time, it also came at a heavy price. Maintaining this forbidden technique for a long time would cause great damage to his body.

The space cage was getting smaller and smaller, and Yan Yue's range of movement was becoming increasingly restricted. She felt like she was trapped in an ever-shrinking iron cage, and at any moment she could be squeezed into a meat pie.

"Break it for me!" Yan Yue roared, concentrating all his spiritual power at one point and slamming it hard at the weak point of the space wall.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the crack on the wall of space finally expanded, forming a fist-sized hole.

A glimmer of hope illuminated Yan Yue's eyes. Without hesitation, she reached out to the cave entrance...

"Go to hell!" Gongsun Yu roared, and the black energy surged again, trying to seal the cave entrance.

At this critical moment...

"A mere trifle!" a cold voice called from the side. Nangong Xue's figure appeared like a ghost, a silver light flashing in her hand, and a sharp dagger pierced Gongsun Yu's back.

Gongsun Yu was forced to distract himself from the attack, and the power of the forbidden spatial technique attacking Yan Yue weakened. The spatial pressure instantly decreased, and Yan Yue felt a lightening sensation, as if a huge rock had been lifted from her chest. This sudden change of events filled her with joy and further strengthened her resolve to escape.

She remembered Nong Jin's trust and encouragement before he left, his warm smile and resolute gaze. A warm current surged in her heart, turning into an endless stream of strength. For him, for herself, she must live!

"Break it for me!" Yan Yue roared, and the golden spiritual power gathered into a sharp sword in her hand, stabbing fiercely into the hole in the space wall.

With a loud bang, the space wall was completely shattered, and Yan Yue's figure shot out like an arrow, narrowly avoiding Gongsun Yu's attack.

Gongsun Yu's face turned pale. He hadn't expected Nangong Xue to suddenly appear, and he hadn't expected Yan Yue to escape from such a desperate situation. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he ignored Nangong Xue's attack and pounced on Yan Yue again.

Yan Yue steadied herself, her gaze fixed on the crystal jadeite emitting a shimmering white light. She knew this was the key to her escape.

She took a deep breath, mobilized all her spiritual power, and rushed towards the spiritual crystal chalcedony at the fastest speed.

"Don't even think about succeeding!" Gongsun Yu roared, and the black energy condensed into a huge sickle in his hand, slashing towards Yan Yue fiercely.

Seeing this, Nangong Xue attacked again. With a flash of silver light, the dagger turned into a stream of light and collided with the black sickle.

"clang!"

A sharp metal collision sound resounded throughout the ruins, and sparks flew everywhere.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Yue grabbed the Spirit Crystal Jadeite. It felt warm and smooth, and a powerful spiritual power instantly surged into her body, invigorating her spirit.

But the crisis was not over. Although Gongsun Yu was restrained by Nangong Xue, his strength was far superior to theirs and he could break free at any time.

Yan Yue didn't dare to stay and turned around and ran away.

She knew that this relic was full of dangers and that she would have to face more challenges if she wanted to leave safely.

Nangong Xue and Gongsun Yu were locked in a fight, unable to escape for a moment. She glanced at the fleeing Yan Yue, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

Yan Yue, relying on her familiarity with the ruins' terrain, dodged left and right, avoiding several deadly traps. But she knew Gongsun Yu would not let her go easily, and she had to find an exit as soon as possible.

While running, Yan Yue suddenly heard a faint whimpering sound, like the cry of some small animal... She stopped, followed the sound, and approached cautiously... "Who is there?"
