Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

However, some of them were able to unleash the potential of the spirit stone, awakening even the slightest trace of their former habits, and were able to walk swiftly on water, just like Xi Heng.
Although the number of pursuers behind her had decreased from dozens to just a few, for Xi Heng, as long as there were more than two demons chasing her, it was no different from having dozens chasing her at the same time—she could only kill two at most.
"Give me spiritual energy!" The pale-faced female demon bared her fangs and brandished her claws.
"How come you also know kung fu?"
Xi Heng muttered a complaint, then used his right-hand flying sword to unleash sword energy to block the attack, continuing to run away quickly.
The internal energy is consumed very quickly when using water-based light footwork and sword techniques.
She only had two-thirds of her vital energy left, and now most of it has dissipated.
Furthermore, she would need to preserve some of her vital energy to deal with the situation later, and since she could not go too far at sea using her lightness skill, she was not allowed to do so.
Xi Heng leaped high into the air, stepping on the sea surface, and glanced back at the scene.
The first thing you see is the female demon still relentlessly pursuing you, followed by a dense swarm of red and black demons that have stained a large area of the seawater with filth.
"I wonder if these demons are all that are on the island."
If there are other demons on the island that she hasn't lured, it's still a dead end.
It seemed that... her fate was sealed the moment she stepped onto this island.
Xi Heng shook his head slightly in the air, his right hand tightly gripping the last Blood Spirit Stone, and suddenly threw it towards the boundless ocean in front of him.
The spirit stone was compressed to release a large amount of spiritual energy, attracting the burning gaze of demons.
As she stepped onto the sea again, she immediately spun around and ran towards the far left.
The next moment, the Blood Spirit Stone plunged into the sea.
Immediately afterwards, several demons roared and plunged straight into the sea.
As for the girl who had already discarded the spirit stone, they didn't even glance at her again.
"I hope it works."
Xi Heng watched as the group of monsters fell into the sea like dumplings being dropped into a pot, then turned and sped away from the area.
I wonder if the demons will fight and kill each other while vying for the spirit stones underwater...
Although she was curious, she didn't have time to observe and study it right now.
After temporarily dealing with the demons, Xi Heng used his light-footed skills to circle the sea before returning to the island.
When she landed back on the beach, she had only one-tenth of her vital energy left.
"With this little energy left, if I use my lightness skill to return to the beach where the ship is stranded, I'll be exhausted before I even get halfway there..."
"This time I'll just run back, and only use my lightness skill at key locations where I'm crossing mountains and valleys, so my speed shouldn't be too slow."
……
Xi Heng traversed jungle bushes and crossed several cliffs, running for a quarter of an hour through the mountain forest where there was no path to follow, before finally approaching the beach he had come from.
She had only walked halfway through a thicket of bushes when she heard the Crimson Goddess's shout coming from afar.
Subconsciously looking up, my vision could penetrate the layers of branches and leaves, and I could see a black flame burning in the distance, the firelight appearing.
The next moment, the enormous fireball was thrown high into the air and then fell like a meteorite.
"Huh?" Xi Heng was a little confused.
"Didn't that guy run out of spirit stones? I've searched him thoroughly... how could he still have spells available?"
Given her sensitivity to spiritual energy, she would surely be able to detect the spirit stones the other party had hidden immediately.
"Could it be that one of her subordinates was keeping a spirit stone for her and then took it out at this time?"
"...That would be terrible."
Xi Heng has run out of spirit stones and doesn't have much internal energy left.
Let alone repelling demons and monsters that might turn against you due to fluctuations in spiritual energy.
Right now, she probably can't even beat the Crimson Goddess.
"Go back?"
At this moment, the situation was almost a dead end for her.
The Crimson Goddess has been imprisoned by her for so long, and her wrist bones have been affected by her internal energy. If she can find an opportunity to reverse the situation, she will definitely not let her go.
I need to find a place to meditate and rest, and recover some of my internal energy...
Xi Heng's footsteps became lighter, and he also concealed his aura and killing intent.
Almost silent footsteps trod on the weeds on the ground, eyes peering through the bushes and leaves towards the distance.
At the edge of the beach where the fleet ran aground, near the jungle, a raging fire had already broken out.
Trees and grass were set ablaze, and thick smoke drifted into the blue sky, making the surrounding area within a hundred meters even hotter.
Amidst the raging flames, three or four bizarre-looking figures ran forward with the fearless gait of zombies.
"So there were a few demons on the island after all..."
The dozens of demons she lured away were not all; other demons attacked the fleet.
She felt she was almost ready to start thinking about what she should do in her next life.
"After reloading the save, I still have to continue sailing eastward—I refuse to believe that we can't cross this Chonghai Sea."
The demon at the front was engulfed in flames, its skin and clothes charred, and black flames constantly rose from its body.
If an ordinary person were to come into contact with such intense fire, they would surely scream and struggle incessantly, eventually burning to death.
But what lies before us are demons, who seem to feel no pain whatsoever. They are engulfed in flames but do not utter a sound, and simply continue to advance towards the location of the fluctuations in spiritual energy.
Their firm footsteps strode out of the blazing forest, and they rushed toward the white-robed woman who was casting a spell with her fingers.
The ground was littered with the remains of many corpses, most of which had been burned beyond recognition.
However, a few bodies remained far from the flames, and Xi Heng could clearly see from a distance that these corpses were crew members from her fleet.
They were not burned to death by flames, but rather each of them had obvious wounds torn open on their necks.
The flesh and blood were exposed, constantly spraying warm blood outwards.
Xi Heng felt nothing about the deaths of these people, since he could recover his progress after reloading his save file. He simply counted the number of corpses piled up on the ground.
A quick glance revealed dozens of bodies.
There are probably many more hidden in certain blind spots.
"At least a hundred people must have died..."
As ordinary mortals, the crew members were utterly powerless against the monsters with terrifying, demonic power.
It wouldn't be surprising if half of the crew were wiped out.
On the contrary, it is the case that only a hundred or so people die.
"Is it because of the protection of the Crimson Goddess?" Xi Heng turned his gaze to her.
At this moment, the white robe Chen Fenghuo was wearing was covered with many fire patterns that seemed to ripple like in an animation. The robe moved without wind, and her whole body radiated golden light, making her look like a real celestial fairy.
Whenever the constantly moving fire patterns land in her palm, she only needs to flick her hand lightly to cast a spell.
Each fireball that rained down slowed the demon for a few seconds.
Amidst the raging flames, the demon's skin was charred, its hearing was impaired, its eyes could no longer see, and its movements became increasingly slow.
If this continues, perhaps it won't be long before these three demons are defeated.
Looking at the majestic appearance of the Crimson Goddess in the distance, Xi Heng's eyes flickered slightly.
But even if the demons are defeated, the journey ahead will not be smooth.
If the other party continues to wield magic so freely, she might have to hand over control of the fleet to them.
Although the other party shared the same goal as her, both wanting to find a fairyland to cultivate immortality... at the start of their journey, the other party was her captive.
If I show myself now, I might become their prisoner.
This won't do...
To recover even 20-30% of one's internal energy, one needs at least an hour of meditation and rest.
"Let's go over there later..." Xi Heng muttered to himself.
As numerous spells were cast in succession, the fire patterns on the Crimson Goddess's body became increasingly sparse.
The three demons, too, collapsed to the ground from the raging flames and the impact, finally becoming motionless.
The Crimson Goddess then lowered her right hand and slowly exhaled.
She removed the flowing flame patterns from her body and attached them to her arm.
"At this rate, we'll use the last talisman."
She originally intended to use this hidden talisman to mark the future when she parted ways with Xi Heng.
But now that they have encountered such strange and powerful demons, it is difficult for them to survive.
"Never mind, preserving the fleet and lives is the most important thing."
The Crimson Goddess turned around and saw hundreds of crew members kneeling before her, calling out various honorific titles. She simply waved her hand and said:
"Don't talk any more here, hurry up and repair the boat."
"If other demons come before the ship is repaired, we will all be doomed."
Upon hearing this, the crew members cried out in alarm to everyone to turn back and make repairs.
"The Jingtian has compartments to separate the water, so this damage shouldn't be enough to sink it. Let's do our best to get the big ship into the sea first," Chen Fenghuo continued.
"Yes..." The captain felt only bitterness upon hearing this.
Once a large ship crashes onto the beach, it becomes difficult to drag it back into the sea.
Sending ships out to sea previously required the combined efforts of thousands of people.
Now, the number of people in the surrounding area is less than seven hundred, which is simply not enough to pull such a huge ship.
He could only hope to first drag the other smaller boats into the sea and securely connect them to the large ship, then wait for the high tide and strong winds to blow, so that all the boats could raise their sails and pull the large ship back into the sea.
Unless divine intervention.
After speaking, the Crimson Goddess looked up at the high mountain peaks of the entire island, wondering if Xi Heng was still safe and sound.
"How could I possibly escape when being chased by dozens of demons?" She shook her head.
In that situation, there is only one way out: death.
Since the two had been living and sleeping together in the same room for several months, the Goddess of the Crimson Sky couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"When we get there, let's build her a cenotaph."
"What are you saying? Do you really think I'm dead?" Xi Heng heard the other party's regretful voice from afar, and seeing that the other party's golden immortal appearance had dissipated, he stepped out from behind the bushes.
……
Chapter 94, The Desperate Situation of the Chonghai Sea
A salty sea breeze blew gently, causing the raging fire on the ground to flicker.
The flames, carried by the wind, spread deep into the island's forest, threatening to ignite a massive forest fire.
Xi Heng emerged from behind a patch of bushes that had not yet been burned, the hem of his bright red outfit billowing backward like flames.
"I'm not that easy to die," the girl lied.
Chen Fenghuo raised his eyes, paused for a moment, and then let out a soft breath:
"Just come back."
"What do you mean? Don't you want me to die here?" Xi Heng tilted his head.
"We have been together for so long, and although I am a prisoner, I have never suffered any harm, so I naturally have no resentment."
The Crimson Goddess added, "Furthermore, you have helped the fleet overcome numerous dangers, so naturally I do not wish for you to die like this."
“I killed quite a few of your men back then,” Xi Heng mentioned.
To a normal person, this statement would probably seem like saying something that really hurts.
