Azure Grass

"Brother-in-law?" Xu Xian opened the door and looked at Ma Feifei in the yard in surprise, not understanding why his brother-in-law came to visit so early.

Xu Xian looked tired, clearly having not slept well all night, whether it was because he had discovered that the Green Snake was a snake spirit or for some other reason was unknown.

However, Ma Feifei didn't care what Xu Xian was thinking, and waved to him, saying, "Hanwen, is your sister-in-law feeling any better?"

"It's gotten a little better." Although Xu Xian didn't know what Ma Feifei meant, he still answered seriously.

At this moment, the White Snake also came out of the house and greeted Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei handed over what he was holding and said, "This is a thousand-year-old Lingzhi that a woodcutter accidentally picked from the mountain a couple of days ago. My sister-in-law is weak, so take it and eat it to help her recover."

This is no thousand-year-old Lingzhi; it's a seventh-tier Azure Grass. It looks very similar to Lingzhi, but its effects are many times better. People on the verge of death can be kept alive by eating Azure Grass, and people with serious injuries can recover quickly by eating it. Moreover, it is an essential ingredient in the refining of many eighth- and ninth-tier pills.

A single stalk of Azure Grass is worth nearly a million Spirit Crystal on the market, so Ma Feifei has already gone to great lengths to bring it out.

When the White Snake saw the Azure Grass in Ma Feifei's hand, she was slightly taken aback. She had clearly sensed the pure Spiritual Power contained within the Azure Grass, but she didn't think of anything else, simply assuming that Ma Feifei didn't know its value. However, a hint of Covet inadvertently appeared in her eyes. After all, she was currently seriously injured, and obtaining this Azure Grass would speed up her recovery.

"Is that so!" Xu Xian was very happy after hearing Ma Feifei's words. As a medical student, he was quite clear about the effects of Lingzhi. He didn't stand on ceremony with Ma Feifei, clasped his hands in a salute, and prepared to accept the Lingzhi that Ma Feifei handed over. The White Snake stood aside without saying a word.

"Whoosh"

Suddenly, a strange thing happened: a dark figure descended from the sky, heading straight for the Azure Grass.

Ma Feifei was secretly delighted. He casually tossed the Azure Grass towards the White Snake, but Ma Feifei didn't forget to protect Xu Xian. He pushed Xu Xian away with his other hand, and the two of them leaned back. As for the White Snake, he didn't care whether she lived or died.

Although it all happened suddenly, the White Snake reacted quickly, grabbing the Azure Grass and turning to dodge the unexpected attack. However, the man in black's target was the White Snake, or more precisely, the Azure Grass in her hand; how could he let her dodge?

The man in black was none other than Yun Qingyang. He bent over in mid-air, changed direction, and thrust his wooden sword directly at the white snake. He was now more than three times faster than before, and arrived in front of the white snake in an instant.

Faced with Xu Xian and Ma Feifei, the White Snake seemed unwilling to reveal her magical abilities. She feigned shock and moved her feet lightly, her steps appearing chaotic, but she managed to dodge Yun Qingyang's attack.

The wooden sword grazed past, but its momentum wasn't over. It changed its trajectory, transforming from a thrust into a slash, aiming directly at the white snake's neck.

One of them was seriously injured, and the other's cultivation was restricted, but their reactions and consciousness remained at their original levels. So no matter how fierce Yun Qingyang's attacks were, she could not harm the white snake. She bent over and the wooden sword slashed horizontally across.

Not only that, but at the moment of bending over, the white snake stretched out a leg and kicked directly at Yun Qingyang's stomach. Ma Feifei saw it clearly; this kick contained tremendous power. If it hit Yun Qingyang, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

However, Yun Qingyang had come from the air, swooping down. When she saw that her attack had missed, Yun Qingyang somersaulted in the air, passing the white snake and dodging the kick.

"Buzz"

Suddenly, several sharp sword energies appeared around Bai Niang. The sword energies transformed from ethereal energy into solid energy, blocking all of Bai Niang's escape routes, like a net wrapping around her.

"Boom!"

The white snake was taken aback and unleashed a powerful aura. Ma Feifei felt a dense aura shooting straight into the sky, carrying a strange smell that was different from that of ordinary people.

"Could this be the legendary Yao Qi?" Ma Feifei wondered. On the Azure Dragon Continent, the aura emanating from spirit beasts was actually no different from that of humans. This was because both spirit beasts and humans followed the laws of Spiritual Power cultivation, and there was no difference between them. Of course, this referred to the aura that erupted when activating Spiritual Power, which was different from the aura carried by humans and spirit beasts themselves.

"Pop"

Several sword energies were Sheer Force blocked by the white snake using its Spiritual Power, but at this moment Yun Qingyang had already turned around and once again raised his wooden sword to stab at the white snake.

The White Snake had no choice. She sensed that the newcomer was very strong. At least with her current cultivation level, she would easily be defeated if she didn't go all out. So she had to abandon all her concerns, reveal her strength, and fight the man in black.

Xu Xian had already been pulled aside by Ma Feifei. He stared wide-eyed at the scene, looking on in disbelief.

"Mother... my wife..." Xu Xian pointed at the white snake fighting with Yun Qingyang, hardly believing that the usually gentle and weak White Lady actually possessed such powerful abilities, and could even fly around, just like an immortal.

"Miss, I'm here to help you." The sounds of fighting attracted Xiao Qing, who shouted and joined the battle. The two snakes, green and white, attacked Yun Qingyang together.

However, Xiao Qing's cultivation level was far inferior to that of Yun Qingyang and the White Snake. Yun Qingyang thrust her sword with a flourish, and before Xiao Qing could react, it struck her shoulder directly.

"Puff"

The sword didn't pierce deeply, but it sent Xiao Qing flying, leaving her unable to get up from the ground.

Ma Feifei, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the wound on Xiao Qing's shoulder seemed to be slowly tearing open, and Xiao Qing's expression showed that she was in great pain.

"Could it be that the Setting Sun Sword has some effect I'm unaware of?" Upon seeing this, Ma Feifei fell into deep thought.

"Bang"

The battle grew increasingly fierce. Yun Qingyang and the White Snake were no longer confined to the ground; the fight gradually rose into the air. The intense sounds of the battle attracted the attention of many people, even passersby outside the mansion stopped to watch, their faces filled with both fear and shock.

"It doesn't seem to work!" Ma Feifei frowned as he watched the fight between the two in mid-air. Yun Qingyang's strength and the White Snake's strength seemed to be not much different, but judging from the current situation, Yun Qingyang would have a hard time not only defeating the White Snake, but even forcing the White Snake to reveal its true form. It was completely impossible to achieve the result that Ma Feifei had expected.

"What should I do..." Ma Feifei was also a bit of a headache. He had a lot of cultivation but couldn't use it. He could only watch the two fight and see how it would end.

"Hmm?" Just then, Ma Feifei suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching them from afar.
