Cai Shu was no longer the little girl who had first left Shushan carrying Xintian Zhan Lu on her back. In order to command greater power within a short time, she had already abandoned Xintian Zhan Lu and begun cultivating the Daoist Scripture of True Essence Mysteries.
There was no sword upon her now, yet when her gaze passed through the layers of enemies before her and fixed upon Great East Mountain, the resolute, icy-sharp aura she gave off made people feel that she herself was Xintian Zhan Lu—as though Xintian Zhan Lu's soul had melted into her body.
Even when facing a powerful opponent like Tang Qingxiang, the one Cai Shu thought of was still Luo Bei. Luo Bei's earlier assessment had not been wrong in the slightest. The Grand Void Rainbow Robe and Stone Milk Jade Fluid truly were a perfect match for Cai Shu.
Tang Qingxiang struggled bitterly to hold on. What he and Cai Shu were competing over now was whose true essence would give out first, but what he found hard to accept was that Cai Shu's true essence showed no sign whatsoever of being exhausted.
After only the slightest hesitation, an exceptionally savage expression surfaced on Tang Qingxiang's face.
"Attack! Kill her!"
A savage, venomous voice instantly burst from his mouth.
Tang Qingxiang already knew that Cai Shu must possess something capable of rapidly replenishing true essence. Otherwise, there was no way she could withstand such consumption. Although he had previously told those behind him not to act, and ordering them to attack now seemed a humiliating loss of face, Tang Qingxiang was not the sort to foolishly smash an egg against a stone for the sake of pride. In only a short while, more than half his true essence had already been depleted.
