Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

A loud cracking sound of bones shattering followed by a long scream, and then the male cultivator was sent flying backward, his body half-collapsed.

The group of cultivators who were besieging Zhong Lingxin all trembled.

There was nothing to it but that scream was too loud, and the spray of blood from the flying figure was too much.

Also, they didn't expect that the young female cultivator was actually a physical cultivator.

Originally, they thought it was a simple matter: among their group of cultivators, there were three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and facing Zhong Lingxin, a young female cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, should be an easy victory.

Who would have thought that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be crippled in a single encounter.

Zhong Lingxin's scheme was actually part of this.

If she uses a rocket right from the start, others might be wary of her.

She immediately brandished her sword, and others assumed she was a sword cultivator, so they didn't suspect that she was also a body cultivator.

There are eight of these cultivators—no, these bandits. We must kill one of them as soon as we get started to intimidate them.

Having landed a successful punch, Zhong Lingxin turned around and faced a male cultivator in the Qi Refining stage next to her.

The male cultivator was shocked, and with a flick of his hand, a pitch-black pill appeared.

Two words flashed through Zhong Lingxin's mind: poison pill.

Before the Qi Refining stage male cultivator could crush the poison pill in his hand, she shouted, "Kill!"

This "kill" was delivered using sonic attacks.

The Qi Refining stage male cultivator paused for a moment.

With just this one strike, the Soul-Slaying Sword silently slashed down, and the Qi Refining stage male cultivator's hand fell to the ground.

With a flick of her left hand, Zhong Lingxin placed the Qi Refining stage male cultivator's hand, along with the poison pill, into a jade box.

At the same time, she waved her right hand again, and the Soul-Slaying Sword once again silently attacked the Qi Refining stage male cultivator.

The head of the Qi Refining stage male cultivator fell to the ground, and his body also fell heavily to the ground.

As soon as they engaged in combat, two of the robbers were killed.

The remaining six all had red eyes.

They dared not be careless any longer and quickly formed a Hunyuan Formation, surrounding Zhong Lingxin and fighting.

Zhong Lingxin also knew that killing two people right away was already the biggest gain.

As for the remaining six, they'll just have to fight it out.

The remaining six robbers no longer had any intention of capturing Zhong Lingxin again.

They now understood that Zhong Lingxin must be a disciple of a major sect to possess such destructive power.

To be honest, they both envied and resented the disciples of the major sects. On the one hand, they mocked the disciples of the major sects as weaklings with no practical combat ability. On the other hand, they also acknowledged that the elite disciples of the major sects were capable of fighting opponents of higher levels.

Zhong Lingxin held the Soul-Slaying Sword in her right hand and clenched her left fist, occasionally throwing a punch.

The six robbers all had fierce glints in their eyes and, relying on the formation, fought back and forth with Zhong Lingxin.

They must kill Zhong Lingxin.

If you can kill such an elite disciple of a major sect, all her magical treasures and storage rings will be yours.

As robbers, their goal is to rob cultivation resources. Once they have cultivation resources, they have plenty of ways to hide their identities and cultivate in some secluded corner.

Zhong Lingxin understood the purpose of these robbers; they simply wanted to wear her down until her spiritual energy was depleted, relying on their rich combat experience.

Unfortunately, the robbers didn't know that she wasn't using her spiritual power at the moment, but was relying entirely on her physical cultivation advantage to fight them.

It's no wonder the robbers didn't know, because the Soul-Slaying Sword is silent and undetectable, unlike their magical artifacts which emit various fluctuations of spiritual light, allowing them to judge the attributes and strength of spiritual energy from these fluctuations.

The robbers secretly laughed at Zhong Lingxin's stupidity. She didn't even think of using the explosive talisman to blast them away and escape quickly. Instead, she thought that she, a mere female cultivator, could outlast a group of men using the Hunyuan Formation.

The Hunyuan Formation is extremely energy-efficient.

The battle had been going on for half a day, and the bandits had all taken two spirit-replenishing pills.

Zhong Lingxin, who was surrounded by them, never ate a single bite.

In the eyes of the robbers, Zhong Lingxin's dantian was indeed wider than theirs, and they did not want to eat her at first.

Later, Zhong Lingxin's Soul-Slaying Sword became less and less effective, and her fists also became weaker and weaker.

The robbers risked damaging their magical artifacts to stop Zhong Lingxin from taking the pills.

Anyway, as bandits, they robbed many cultivators and all sorts of random magical treasures.

The robbers were getting happier and happier. The female cultivator's spiritual power was gradually running out, and the spells she used were becoming weaker and weaker. Moreover, the female cultivator was obviously getting angry and anxious. Several times she tried to force open the storage ring under the cover of the magic treasure.

This was actually Zhong Lingxin's blunder.

She was trapped in the Four Seasons Formation, constantly battling the formation's attacks. Her endurance in combat was something that the bandits could never match.

However, she couldn't break the Hunyuan Formation immediately, so she could only pretend that her spiritual power was insufficient.

To make it look more convincing, she deliberately slowed down, letting the robber's stick hit her in the back, causing her to stagger.

To show that she was injured, she circulated her spiritual power, making her face turn pale.

At the same time, she swung her Soul-Slaying Sword even more frantically, losing all sense of rhythm and creating several openings in her movements.

The robbers were overjoyed, and the two robbers in front of her aimed for her neck with a sword and a gun.

This sudden attack with a sword and a spear also left the robbers wide open.

Zhong Lingxin suddenly shouted twice, and the Soul-Slaying Sword danced rapidly towards the two robbers' sword and spear.

She unleashed another rocket in her left hand.

The two robbers in front of her were hit by a rocket.

One of them was smashed into a pulp on the spot, and the other's right hand was also blown off.

The Hunyuan Formation finally stopped functioning properly.

Zhong Ling seized the opportunity, throwing another punch with her left hand, killing the robber whose right hand had been shattered. With a spin, she caught up with a robber on the left, unleashing a barrage of punches, a flurry of fist shadows, all aimed at the robber on the left.

The robber on the left was terrified. Fists blocked his left and right sides, and he could only retreat continuously.

Zhong Lingxin wanted him to back down.

Behind him, there was another robber running after the Hunyuan Formation.

With nowhere left to retreat, the robber finally took two punches from Zhong Lingxin's rapid attack.

Those two punches swiftly and decisively sent him to the Bridge of Helplessness.

Seeing that things were going badly, the remaining three robbers no longer cared about obtaining Zhong Lingxin's magical treasures and resources.

They all retreated rapidly. The Foundation Establishment stage bandit was the quickest to react, leaping onto his magic weapon and trying to escape into the distance.

Zhong Lingxin wasn't about to let him escape. With a flick of her wrist, three flying blades hurtled toward him.

One arrow was aimed at his head, one at his dantian, and the other at his magic weapon.

The Foundation Establishment stage bandits were terrified by the wailing sound behind them and leaped high on their swords, trying to dodge Zhong Lingxin's flying blades.

Unfortunately, she really didn't understand Zhong Lingxin.

With Zhong Lingxin's strength, the flying blade was faster than his sword-wielding, so there was no chance for him to leap high.

All three flying blades hit their targets.

The Foundation Establishment stage bandits fell from mid-air.
