Fairy, help me practice

　The man in green sneered, "I'd rather my sister and niece died than have to sit in an empty room waiting for their so-called useless husbands and fathers to change their minds!"

　Huang Bing was stunned: "What did you say?"

　"Ding!"

　Chen Yao stabbed the stone platform with his sword, interrupting the quarrel between the two.

　"Answer my question. What did you see? Did you encounter anyone else, such as the Lord of Haifang City or a female swordsman?"

　The green-clothed man's eyes wavered, and his shoulders hunched again: "I... I met them, but... they... I'm afraid they are already dead."

Chapter 204: The worm that devours spiritual energy, Xu Junyu's sword energy

　The man in green glanced at Chen Yao and said quickly, "Maybe, maybe he's not dead yet, but I'm afraid he's in a critical situation. If you two could rescue him in time, maybe..."

　Before he could finish his words, Chen Yao's sword was against his neck.

　"Why are you here? Don't think I can't see your little thoughts."

　As he spoke, he extended the sword and cut open the skin of the green-clothed man Jiang Quan, and a trace of blood flowed out.

　Xu Junyu is a genius in swordsmanship, and her combat power is much stronger than Jiang Quan, who is at a higher level. He doesn't believe that she can be defeated so easily.

　Jiang Quan's face turned pale with pain, and it was obvious that he was tortured by the sharp sword energy.

　He looked at Chen Yao and Li You, sighed, and told them everything.

　The man in green clothes and a bamboo hat is from the Nanyuan clan. He heard that there were strange phenomena on the sea near Haifang City, so he came here to search for treasure.

　When they arrived at Haifang City, they accidentally found out where Huang Bing was, which led to the scene of chasing Huang Bing in the evening.

　Huang Bing sneered after hearing Jiang Quan's words: "Oh? So I'm the one you guys are going to deal with! You guys are really capable!"

　He spoke in a contemptuous tone, obviously not believing Huang Bing's lies.

　Chen Yao sighed: "It seems that if I don't give you some strength, you won't tell the truth."

　He released the sword, but Jiang Quan screamed at this moment and convulsed on his knees.

　It turned out that when Chen Yao cut his neck, he had already injected a trace of blood into his body.

　Huang Bing looked at Jiang Quan rolling on the ground screaming, his face turned pale, and a look of sadness appeared between his brows.

　"I said! I said!"

　Jiang Quan grabbed the tip of Chen Yao's shoe and begged for mercy.

　"We have been investigating Haifang City for a year, with the goal of finding Huang Bing and seizing the Nine Transformations Sutra from him."

　He looked at Chen Yao timidly: "Every word I said is true!"

　But he still held it in his arms, obviously afraid that Chen Yao would snatch the scripture away.

　Chen Yao did not move, but asked: "Then why did you come here?"

　Jiang Quan sighed, his face showing regret. "It's all my fault for being greedy. I heard from a junior fellow apprentice that the Lord of Haifang City went into the sea to search for treasure. His realm is not high, so we can take the opportunity to seize the treasure and kill people, and then take over Haifang City... I didn't want to..."

　His lips trembled again, and he was obviously thinking of the monster that frightened him.

　What kind of monster could make a Jindan cultivator so scared?

　"Have you ever seen a female swordsman?"

　Chen Yao asked loudly.

　Jiang Quan nodded quickly: "Yes! Yes! Her swordsmanship is extraordinary. She holds a magical sword, and tied to the scabbard is... tied to underwear..."

　"..."

　That wouldn't be wrong.

　Chen Yao looked at Jiang Quan and thought it would be a good idea to have someone like him to lead the way.

　No matter what's ahead, you have to go and see it.

　"Lead the way!"

　"what?"

　Jiang Quan was very resistant, but considering the unspeakable torment he had just felt, he had to lead the way tremblingly.

　"What does the monster you're afraid of look like?"

　Jiang Quan frowned after hearing Chen Yao's question: "I... I didn't see clearly..."

　Huang Bing snorted coldly: "I think you are talking nonsense. You just found a place like this to kill your fellow disciples and use it as an excuse, right?"

　Jiang Quan glared: "Who do you think I am!"

　"He's so heartless and ungrateful that he murdered his own sister without batting an eyelid!"

　"Yuan'er isn't dead, but now she's living a life worse than death, all because of you, you bastard!"

　"I won't believe a single word you say! If Huang is still alive, I will kill you!"

　Huang Bing's voice grew louder, and it could be heard far away in the empty silence.

　Soon, layers of echoes came back.

　Chen Yao felt something was wrong. Just as he cast the Zixu Shield, he heard a dense "tearing" sound coming from the shield wall.

　The ball of light at Li You's fingertips expanded several times, illuminating the area around him for several feet.

　Chen Yao saw clearly what was on Zixu's shield and couldn't help but frown.

　Those were densely packed red worms with wings, gnawing at the spiritual shield supported by the Zixu Shield.

　"This thing can devour spiritual energy..."

　Jiang Quan's voice was already trembling.

　But after a while, many holes had appeared in Zixu's shield, and red worms flew towards them like mad locusts.

　Fire spewed from Li You's palm. He stretched out his arm and swung out a circle of bright white fire. Many worms were burned black and fell to the ground.

　A white light flashed at Huang Bingze's fingertips. He drew a rune in front of him and pointed it out.

　The runes exploded when they came into contact with the dense red worms, emitting a burning smell.

　When Chen Yao saw his runes, his eyes lit up and he seemed to be thinking about something.

　He released his spiritual sense to sweep across the vast space and found that the red worms came from two sources.

　"Li You, go and burn the source."

　Li You obeyed the order and flew away.

　While controlling the Zixu Shield, Chen Yao took out the magic sword and swept across, killing countless worms.

　On the other side, Huang Bing was weak after all. Although he tried his best to attack and resist, he was quickly swallowed by the worms.

　Jiang Quan was not optimistic either. He glanced at Chen Yao who was unable to free his hands, sighed, and unexpectedly made a hand gesture and exhaled, blowing away the worms on Huang Bing's body.

　He himself was also bitten by worms in many places.

　Huang Bing, who escaped death, found that it was Jiang Quan who saved him, and his eyes widened.

　At this moment, two air explosions were heard in the distant darkness, and the red worms suddenly flew around and scattered like clouds, leaving a fishy smell on the ground.

　Li You flew down gracefully.

　"Master, it's solved. However, this red worm is too strange, and the spiritual energy in my Dantian has run out."

　Jiang Quan and Huang Bing also nodded.

　Chen Yao then realized that he was the same, but he was just subconsciously resisting with the sword energy of the immortal sword.

　He took out a handful of spiritual energy-replenishing pills and distributed them to everyone. After swallowing them, he found that the effect was not obvious.

　"It seems that not only this worm is weird, but even this place is weird..." Li You immediately sat down cross-legged and took a breath. "Master, don't worry. The spiritual energy in your Dantian is slowly increasing as you rest."

　Chen Yao looked around at the darkness. The sounds of water and wind came from the empty and distant place, turning into distorted hissing sounds.

　"Looks like I'll have to pause for a while and recover my spiritual energy. Next time I encounter these worms, I'll first destroy their source... Are these the monsters you're talking about?"

　He asked Jiang Quan.

　Jiang Quan shook his head: "No, those grew from people, unlike these worms that flew out from outside."

　"Growing from a human body?"

　Chen Yao and Li You looked at each other, feeling a little creepy in the vast darkness.

　However, no matter what, I should recover my strength first.

　He began to meditate and regulate his breathing. After a while, he heard the conversation between Huang Bing and Jiang Quan.

　"Why did you save me?"

　Huang Bing's tone was sullen.

　"I do not know either……"

　Jiang Quan seemed a little dejected. "Perhaps, it's because of Yuan'er! In fact, you've been able to cultivate to this point through unconventional means, and even created some runes from the Nine Transformations Sutra. You're already stronger than most people in the family... Perhaps, none of us can leave this place..."

　"Pa", it seemed like the sound of a book falling to the ground.

　"What do you mean?" Huang Bing was a little surprised.

　"How about we study the scriptures together and perhaps temporarily increase our strength?"

　Huang Bing didn't answer for a long time. After a while, he said, "Yuan'er... is he really alive?"

　"Alive. If you and I can escape, you will come home with me!"

　"really?"

　"I've given you all my scriptures."

　Huang Bing sighed deeply, as if he believed Jiang Quan. "I've carried this book with me for many years and have read it countless times. Now I understand that compared to Yuan'er and Xiaobao, nothing else matters. I don't need it anymore."

　Suddenly, an extremely loud sword sound was heard from an unknown place.

　Chen Yao, who had already half-filled his Dantian with spiritual energy, opened his eyes.

　Xu Junyu's sword.

　The author says:

Chapter 205

　Drill out of the body

　"That's the direction I came from."

　When Jiang Quan saw Chen Yao open his eyes, he quickly stuffed the book on the ground into his arms.

　Chen Yao glanced at him, stood up and flew into the air, leading everyone to fly in the direction where the sword sound came from.

　The darkness is still so heavy, but the original emptiness and loneliness give people a feeling of stagnation and narrowness.

　Li You curiously flew the ball of light around, but did not find any buildings or walls.

　The sound of the swords has gradually faded away, but it can still serve as a guide. Although it sounds not far away, the further you fly, the more you realize that the sword sounds are still ahead.

　Chen Yao frowned.

　It’s a pity that it’s dark all around and there is no coordinate to refer to.

　“Why is it so hot!”

　Huang Bing tore open the blood-stained front of his shirt and muttered to himself.

　Jiang Quan glanced at him and said, "I took a quick look at the Nine Transformations Sutra a while ago. It contains a mysterious method of clearing the mind that can isolate the cold and heat. Haven't you practiced it?"

　Huang Bing shook his head: "Of course I have practiced, but my realm is not high enough. The more I practiced, the hotter I got. I had a fever for a month."

　Jiang Quan nodded: "It is indeed a bit hot!"

　He also began to lift up the front of his clothes to fan himself.

　Chen Yao looked at Li You and found that there was doubt in her eyes.

　Neither of them felt any change in temperature. It was understandable that Huang Bing had a low realm, but Jiang Quan had the cultivation level of a Golden Core after all, so how could he be affected so greatly by the outside world?

　"hot!"

　Huang Bing fell to the ground suddenly, tore open his shirt, and his posture was twisted, which looked very strange in the dim light.
