Mu Xue and Mu Xue

"Yes, Master, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind!" Yan Liyu said with a firm face. He then knelt down respectfully and kowtowed heavily to the white-robed old man to express his gratitude for his master's teachings.

"Alright, my disciple, you may return now." After saying this, the white-robed elder gently waved his whisk. With his movement, a cloud of white mist suddenly rose up from the surroundings. This mist quickly spread, soon enveloping everything Yan Liyu could see.

Yan Liyu waited quietly. After a while, the white smoke gradually dissipated. When he looked around again, he was surprised to find that the old man in the white robe was still standing there. "Hey, didn't Master go back? Why haven't you left yet?" Yan Liyu asked curiously, his face full of confusion.

A trace of embarrassment crossed the white-robed old man's face. He coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, I still have something to tell you." He felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had just said goodbye, and now he was calling his apprentice back...

"When you go back, don't learn magic arrays anymore. Instead, learn alchemy. Magic arrays are not suitable for you." The old man in white robe said slowly.

"Ah? Why?" Yan Liyu became anxious when he heard it and asked quickly.

However, before the answer was revealed, another puff of white mist surged in. Yan Liyu felt his eyelids become extremely heavy, as if being pulled by an invisible force. He gradually lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find himself back in Wind and Frost City. He rubbed his eyes, confirming that this was not an illusion. Then, he sat up and noticed an ancient book in his hands. The title caught his eye: "The History of Alchemy." The book looked very old, but a closer look revealed that its appearance was only ancient.

Yan Liyu gently flipped open the first page of the book when a piece of paper suddenly slipped out. He quickly picked it up and saw the words: "Remember, don't show this book to anyone!" His heart tightened at the sight of these words. He hastily stuffed the note back into the book and carefully placed it in his storage ring.

"Let's go check out the battlefield first. I'll study the book later," Yan Liyu muttered to himself before leaping onto the city wall. He had originally thought that the situation on the battlefield might have changed significantly after some time, but what he saw shocked him. The situation on the battlefield didn't seem to have changed much; Lin Mo's sword-killing formation was still ruthlessly slaughtering the enemy.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, I'm back!"

"Oh my god! My big brother! You're finally awake! If you don't wake up, I'll be exhausted to death! My talismans are almost used up!" Yan Liyu's teammates couldn't help but complain loudly.

"I'm fine now. My brother was a little mentally disturbed before. Thank you for protecting me just now!" Yan Liyu said with gratitude, then quickly raised the sword in his hand, jumped off the city wall, and rushed into the group of demons like a tiger.

Yan Liyu dashed left and right among the demons, his movements nimble and agile, like flowing water. Every swing of his sword carried a sharp sword energy, slaying the surrounding demons one after another. His agility was so outstanding that no demon could harm him in the slightest. Wherever he passed, all the demons were killed.

Yan Liyu went in and out of the group of monsters seven times, his body movements were flexible and changeable, as if he was dancing among the monsters, which made people marvel.

At the same time, Yan Liyu continuously launched his own sword-killing arrays while slaying the demons. Once these arrays were launched, they immediately began to mercilessly slaughter the demons. Although their power was not as strong as Lin Mo's sword-killing array, it was still effective at this time.

Time ticked by, and after an unknown amount of time, the number of demons outside the city gradually dwindled. However, at that moment, a gigantic figure suddenly emerged from the depths of the forest, nearly thirty meters tall! This figure exuded a suffocating pressure that instilled fear in everyone.

"What the hell is this?! It's got to be over thirty meters tall! Judging from the aura it exudes, it's definitely not something we can handle!" Yan Liyu's teammates shouted in horror. They stared at the gigantic monster before them, their hearts filled with fear and despair.

"What should we do? We can't abandon the people in the city and run away!" Yan Liyu said.

"What should we do? Are we going up there to die?" his teammates asked.

Yan Liyu gritted his teeth and said, "At least we can give it a try. Even though we didn't defend the city, we still tried our best, didn't we?"

Yan Liyu's teammates didn't say anything, but silently took out all the lethal talismans on him and shouted: "Okay! I will accompany you today!" As he said, he threw all the talismans at the monster.

These talismans included explosive talismans, gravity talismans, burning talismans, insect-attracting talismans, and more. Each one exuded a mysterious aura, as if imbued with boundless power. They were all precious treasures he had meticulously crafted and accumulated over the years. He took them all out at once, and a wave of emotion welled up in his heart: "This is my entire fortune!"

After saying this, he unhesitatingly directed an explosive talisman towards the nearly thirty-meter-tall giant. A series of explosions followed, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A cloud of black smoke suddenly rose from the giant's location.

Before the black smoke cleared, he immediately controlled a gravity talisman and flew towards the giant. As soon as the talisman touched the giant's body, the demons under his feet instantly felt a huge pressure and were crushed to the ground by the powerful gravity, unable to get up.

Then, he quickly controlled a burning talisman to fly towards the giant. The effect of the burning talisman was that once it was attached, one would instantly feel as if being burned by a high temperature of 100 degrees!

Finally, he controlled the insect-attracting talisman...

This series of attacks was coherent and powerful, and the destructive power of each one was terrifying. However, when the black smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, Yan Liyu and his teammates stared with wide eyes, their faces filled with astonishment.

The sight before him was unbelievable—there wasn't a single scratch on the giant's body! He still stood there, looking majestic, as if the attack had no effect on him at all.
