Bone-stripping and tendon-pulling? The reborn senior sister becomes the number one cultivator in the

We can't just give up like this!

Xie Wanning knew that if she lost consciousness now, she might not survive.

A flash of cold light appeared, and a large amount of ice formed on Xie Wanning's fist as she delivered heavy blows to the snake's body.

Their bodies began to freeze, and the black snakes, covered in water, were frozen in place, unable to move.

Xie Wanning swung her fist and slammed it into the ground. The damp ground instantly froze, and at the same time, a thick ice wall rose around Xie Wanning, preventing the black snakes from entering for the time being.

Xie Wanning collapsed to the ground, exhausted. She had just used up too much spiritual energy, and the toxins in her body were spreading rapidly, causing the poison to take effect.

She swallowed the pills from the storage bag.

This is a fourth-grade elixir given to her by Brother Shen; it has the effect of suppressing the poison in her body.

After Xie Wanning lost her memory, she woke up in the secret realm with nothing but the bell around her waist.

Therefore, all the elixirs and magical artifacts were given by Brother Xie and others; otherwise, Xie Wan Ning would have been truly destitute.

Just as Xie Wanning was about to sit down and cultivate, suddenly, with a loud "boom," the ice wall shattered.

Xie Wanning struggled to stand up before she could clearly see the tall figure in the middle of the pond.

It was actually a level 7 black-skinned crocodile!

Xie Wanning disregarded everything else and ran back immediately.

She doesn't have much spiritual power right now, and the poison in her body hasn't been neutralized yet. Forcing her to use her spiritual power will only accelerate the spread of the poison.

At that time, she would probably die from the poison before she could leave the secret realm.

"Little thing, where do you think you're going? You killed so many of my men, do you think I'd let you go?" the black crocodile shouted.

Then, it led a large number of black snakes to chase after Xie Wanning.

The original path was blocked by the faster black snakes, so Xie Wanning had no choice but to turn around and face the black-skinned crocodiles.

The black crocodile opened its blood-red maw and laughed triumphantly, "Haha, you can't escape now. Seeing that you are a Golden Core cultivator, my cultivation will definitely increase greatly after I eat you."

The black snakes rushed towards Xie Wanning.

Xie Wanning condensed an ice fist, blocking more than a dozen waves of attacks from the black snakes.

Soon, she felt breathless, and her spiritual energy was almost completely depleted.

There were too many black snakes, they were fast, agile, and their attacks were powerful.

Xie Wanning won't be able to hold on for much longer.

The black crocodile waited patiently behind, watching Xie Wanning's resistance grow weaker and weaker, and it became more and more smug: these human cultivators only knew how to ruthlessly hunt spirit beasts and use them as tools to advance their cultivation. Now that the human cultivators had fallen into its hands, they could only be bullied by it.

Xie Wanning gradually couldn't hold on any longer, and the ice around her slowly melted.

Is that the only power we can use?

A spark of fire flashed in Xie Wanning's eyes.

Since regaining her memories, she has discovered that her fire spirit root has fallen into an automatic dormant state. If she were to forcibly revive it, it would definitely cause a huge loss to her cultivation.

However, now that life and death are at stake, Xie Wanning can no longer care about these things.

The toxins had long since taken effect uncontrollably, and her mind was foggy. If she couldn't save herself, she would be killed.

The black crocodile strode over, opening its massive jaws to tear Xie Wanning apart in one gulp.

Xie Wanning took a deep breath, preparing to forcefully awaken her fire spirit root.

In an instant.

"boom!"

A bright light suddenly appeared, accompanied by a huge explosion. Xie Wanning felt like she was going deaf, so she squatted on the ground, covered her head and ears.

The shattered pieces of meat fell to the ground, splattering Xie Wanning with blood.

When Xie Wanning opened her eyes again, she saw a tall figure in front of her.

The man was tall and imposing, with long, ink-black hair cascading down his back. He wore a black robe, concealing himself in the shadows, and held a large, blood-red sword, like an assassin ready to strike at any moment.

The black crocodile was thrown to the ground by the huge explosion. After struggling to his feet, he shouted viciously, "I will definitely kill you! Neither of you will escape."

As he spoke, the black crocodile charged forward menacingly, opening its massive jaws to reveal its sharp teeth. The remaining black snakes followed suit.

Xie Wanning said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist, be careful."

The man did not turn around and calmly walked towards the black crocodile.

A tornado formed around him, sucking in the black snakes that attacked.

The black snakes were torn apart in the tornado, their lives ending before they could even make a sound.

Several, a dozen, dozens, or even hundreds of black snakes were all wiped out.

The man, standing at the center of the blood-red tornado, exuded a chilling aura, causing Xie Wanning to shiver involuntarily.

The enraged black crocodile suddenly charged forward, but the man leaped into the air, unleashing dozens of wind blades from his large sword, tearing the crocodile's skin apart and causing it to scream in agony.

Xie Wanning couldn't see through the man's cultivation level, but could only guess that he was a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

Finally, the black crocodile was beheaded without any resistance, and the man cleanly removed its inner core before turning back to Xie Wanning's side.

"How are you?" A deep and magnetic voice came from the man. Xie Wanning looked up and met his gaze, and was startled.

The man was wearing a black blindfold, making it impossible to see his eyes. He had sharp eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and full, red lips with a perfect jawline, making him a handsome man at first glance.

"Xu Weilin, a rogue cultivator, thanks fellow Daoist for saving my life." Xie Wanning rose with difficulty and bowed.

The man turned to the side, obscuring his expression, but his deep, cold voice could be heard: "No need for formalities. I am Si Jinchuan, the eldest disciple of the Yunxiao Sect. Saving you is my duty as a disciple of the sect; please don't take it to heart."

Si Jinchuan.

Xie Wanning felt the name was strangely familiar, but she couldn't remember it no matter what she did. Her heart just started to ache. Why was that?

Before Xie Wan Ning could figure it out, the bell at her waist suddenly rang.

The sound was clear and ethereal, echoing throughout the entire cave.

Xie Wanning suddenly felt a jolt, and a sentence flashed through her mind: "When the bell rings, that is where your mission lies."

Who is speaking?

Xie Wanning gave Si Jinchuan a serious look.

Her bell, though beautifully designed, had never made a sound. Today was the first time it had rung.

Xie Wanning's intuition told him that there was something very important to do.

Si Jinchuan paused, then turned to leave.

Xie Wanning cried out anxiously, "Fellow Daoist Si, can I come with you? I have very little spiritual power left, and there is still snake venom in my body. I'm afraid I will have a hard time surviving alone."

Si Jinchuan stopped in his tracks, and Xie Wanning quickly ran up to him, her voice pleading and pitiful: "Fellow Daoist Si, I promise I won't cause you any trouble. I can fight too, and I'm sure I can help you."

Si Jinchuan remained expressionless, but took out a sixth-grade antidote pill from his storage bag and handed it to Xie Wanning.

A sixth-grade detoxification pill is worth ten high-grade spirit stones on the market, more than Xie Wanning could afford with all her possessions combined.

Xie Wanning hesitated, but Si Jinchuan handed the pill to her: "It can cure the poison in your body. Here you go."

Xie Wanning smiled sheepishly, swallowed the pill, and the piercing pain in her body instantly disappeared.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Si. I will definitely repay you." Xie Wanning's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled sweetly at Si Jinchuan.

Si Jinchuan strode forward, saying, "Keep up."

Where Xie Wanning couldn't see, Si Jinchuan's lips unconsciously curled up.
