Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

The Eagle Nine Claws team was clearly well-equipped, with some carrying knives, some holding shields, and others wielding crossbows, making them capable of both close and long-range combat, as well as offense and defense.

Therefore, the moment Chu Yunfan's location was discovered, Eagle Nine Claws immediately ordered his men to fire crossbow bolts at him.

Fortunately, Chu Yunfan's body was hidden in a crevice in the mountain.

Therefore, the arrows fired by the other side did not hit him.

However, what happened next made Chu Yunfan anxious.

It turned out that Eagle Nine Claws had sent out several more men who rushed directly towards his location.

The people sent by Eagle Nine Claws were all experts at the ninth level of the Martial Beginning Realm. With a single leap, they covered six or seven meters and were already close to him in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to shoot and kill these people.

But to everyone's surprise, these people didn't proceed in a straight line, but instead turned and approached him.

Therefore, the two arrows Chu Yunfan shot missed their mark.

While Chu Yunfan was still firing those two arrows and hadn't had time to continue his attack, the group quickly moved forward, closing the distance to Chu Yunfan by six or seven meters.

At this moment, these people could vaguely see Chu Yunfan's body.

However, before they could even rejoice, two more arrows struck two of them.

All I can say is that Chu Yunfan's archery skills are simply too precise.

This time, both men were shot in the head and killed instantly.

Chu Yunfan, after all, was trained in traditional Chinese medicine and possessed superb acupuncture skills. He could accurately puncture tiny acupoints on the human body in the blink of an eye. Therefore, he was also adept at wielding a crossbow and his accuracy was ridiculously high.

However, just as Chu Yunfan shot and killed the two men, the remaining three men took the opportunity to come directly in front of him.

Seeing that there was a mountain behind him with no way to retreat, and that he was blocked in front of three people, Chu Yunfan still showed no panic on his face.

Because, after this period of delay, the poison he had previously planted on the road finally took effect.

Before the three could launch their attack, they all felt dizzy and their vision blurred.

Taking this opportunity, Chu Yunfan used his crossbow to kill two more people.

The last person died by the Snow Cold Sword.

At the same time, the remaining members of Eagle Nine Claws' group also began to experience the effects of the poison, becoming dizzy and lightheaded.

By this time, Eagle Nine Claws naturally realized that they had been poisoned.

Seeing that his subordinates had suffered heavy losses, Eagle Nine Claws decided to take action himself. A white jade bottle was taken out of his storage bag from the light in his hand.

Then, Eagle Nine Claws opened the jade bottle, took out a white pill, and swallowed it.

This white pill is actually a first-tier antidote.

Don't underestimate this first-tier pill. For a low-level rogue cultivator like Eagle Nine Claws, it took a lot of effort to finally obtain one.

Therefore, he had been reluctant to use it before.

But now, he had no choice but to let go, even if he didn't want to.

The effects of the first-tier antidote are extremely powerful. It can cure almost any poison within the first tier, unless it is a very potent one.

Therefore, as soon as Eagle Nine Claws took the antidote, his mind immediately became clear.

He then quickly rushed towards where Chu Yunfan was.

His speed was even faster than those of the others; with a single leap, he covered a distance of nine meters.

He easily dodged the crossbow bolts fired by Chu Yunfan.

Despite having only one eye, it was as sharp as an eagle's eye. He spotted the arrow as soon as it was shot and dodged it.

Seeing how powerful this person was, Chu Yunfan immediately began to think rapidly about how to deal with him.

However, at that moment, something surprising happened to Chu Yunfan.

Suddenly, several of Eagle Nine Claws' men came running from a distance, shouting as they ran:

"Boss, something bad has happened!"

There were Martial Master level experts in the valley; my brothers were no match for them and died instantly!

Upon hearing the man's shout, Eagle Nine Claws immediately stopped in his tracks.

However, it was only for a moment before he continued forward, deciding to kill Chu Yunfan first and then deal with the rest.

Seeing that the crossbow bolts posed no threat to Eagle Nine Claws, and that the opponent was rapidly closing in on him, with only a few meters between them, Chu Yunfan realized that the crossbow bolts were ineffective against Eagle Nine Claws.

At the crucial moment, he finally came up with a way to deal with the other side.

At this moment, Eagle Nine Claws leaped again, his figure rapidly enlarging in Chu Yunfan's eyes.

The next second, the two will be face to face.

Just then, Chu Yunfan threw out two crossbow bolts, aiming them at Eagle Nine Claws' head.

However, the two crossbow bolts were instantly shattered by Eagle Nine Claws' Eagle Claw Technique.

Instantly, Chu Yunfan's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed inwardly:

"Such powerful claw technique! This crossbow bolt is forged from refined iron."

Although refined iron is not as hard as black iron, it is still incredibly tough. Unexpectedly, this person crushed it to dust with just his bare hands!

Just as Chu Yunfan was marveling at the sight, Eagle Nine Claws' two claws, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, came crashing down on his head!

However, Chu Yunfan already had a plan to deal with this.

At the critical moment, he took the Snowfrost Sword from his storage ring and thrust it straight at Eagle Nine Claw's heart.

Chu Yunfan believed that no matter how powerful Eagle Nine Claws' hands were, they were no match for Snow Cold Sword.

However, Chu Yunfan did not expect that even at such close range, Eagle Nine Claw would still have time to react.

Eagle Nine Claws swiftly retracted its claws, gripping the Snow Cold Sword tightly.

At this moment, the Snow Cold Sword was less than an inch away from his chest.

But that tiny distance sealed Chu Yunfan's defeat.

Eagle Nine Claws was also still shaken. He pushed the Snow Cold Sword away from himself with both claws, then kept one claw holding the Snow Cold Sword while trying to pull out the other to deal with Chu Yunfan.

However, to his surprise, when he tried to pull his hand away, it was stuck to the blade of the Snow Frost Sword and remained motionless.

At the same time, a bone-chilling coldness shot straight to his heart from Eagle Nine Claws' hand.

He then realized that his fingers were frozen to the blade of the Snow Frost Sword.

Moreover, a thin layer of frost was spreading from his fingers up his arm.

"This power! Could it be a top-grade spiritual weapon sword?"

Eagle Nine Claws exclaimed inwardly, and then a look of greed instantly erupted in his eyes.

If he obtained this magical sword, he was even confident that he could contend with a Martial Master.

However, before he could continue his actions, an incredulous light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he stared intently at Chu Yunfan.

At the same time, scalding hot blood flowed from Ying Jiuzhao's forehead, slid down his nose, and dripped to the ground.

Opposite to Eagle Nine Claws, blood was slowly seeping from the corner of Chu Yunfan's mouth.
