Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch Appears

Rong Jingyun knew in her heart that once she was entangled by the three men, she would have little chance of escape.

This Underground Cavern was her final resting place.

With time running out, Rong Jingyun had no time to dodge the attack of the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

She used the Blazing Fire Cauldron behind her for protection, neither dodging nor avoiding, and continued to flee towards the river's exit.

"When!"

The Demon-Subduing Pestle struck the Blazing Fire Cauldron.

The enormous impact propelled the Blazing Fire Cauldron forward, slamming it right into Rong Jingyun's back.

"Puff!"

Rong Jingyun opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He staggered, then accelerated forward.

Just as Rong Jingyun was about to rush into the river, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly came from behind.

It was a huge stalagmite, more than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) long.

It's about Jie Wu!

Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Rong Jingyun, he casually plucked a stalagmite and threw it at Rong Jingyun with all his might.

Rong Jingyun unleashed a burst of spiritual energy with all her might, striking the stalagmite.

The stalagmite immediately shattered into countless fragments.

Before Rong Jingyun could even catch her breath, a series of whooshing sounds rang out as several thick stalagmites hurtled towards her.

The stalagmites were powerful and heavy, Rong Jingyun dared not take them lightly. She could only concentrate on smashing them one by one.

Then, the Demon-Subduing Pestle regrouped and attacked again.

Under the combined attack of Jie Wu and Jie Se, Rong Jingyun was exhausted and her speed slowed down, allowing Jie Se to catch up.

After blocking the Demon-Subduing Pestle once again, Rong Jingyun was unable to dodge in time and was struck in the chest by a thick stalagmite.

A sharp stalagmite struck his chest.

The stalagmite immediately cracked open.

Rong Jingyun was violently knocked away.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of impacts rang out.

Rong Jingyun crashed through several hanging stone cones before finally stopping and falling to the side of the river.

The continuous, violent impacts caused serious injuries to her internal organs.

"Cough cough cough..."

Rong Jingyun collapsed to the ground, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, which included fragments of internal organs.

Jie Se flashed and arrived above Rong Jingyun.

His gaze lingered on Rong Jingyun, slowly sweeping over her with a lewd look.

"Although she looks a bit older, she still retains her charm and has a unique appeal."

Those Jie Se are like hungry ghosts consumed by lust, criticizing Rong Jingyun.

He looked so impatient!

On the other side, Jie Hui, who was using the light from the Fireball Technique to survey the cavern, suddenly had a glint of light in his eyes.

Beside the river, amidst a tangled mass of stalagmites, grows a Spirit Plant.

The Spirit Plant is about a foot tall and has twenty-four small leaves, half of which are white and the other half are jet black.

It is the main ingredient for refining the Golden Core Pill, the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

Every twenty years, the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch sprouts a new leaf.

This means that the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch in front of us is nearly five hundred years old and has medicinal value.

Such an old Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch is rare even in the Azure Tide Secret Realm.

Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch that is over a hundred years old can be used to refine the Golden Core Pill.

The Yin-Yang Weeping Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch grew among the stalagmites, and because it was beyond the perception range of Jie Hui and the others, they did not discover its existence immediately upon entering the cave.

Jie Hui's ecstatic expression, a hint of wariness crept in.

Wherever the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch grows, powerful Demon Beast are almost always lurking there.

However, despite their fierce battle inside the cave, they never saw any trace of the Demon Beast.

Could it be that this Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch is not protected by Demon Beast?

Jie Hui wondered what was going on in his mind.

"Jie Wu, Jie Se, be on guard, for here dwells the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch."

Jie Hui loudly reminded his companion.

Upon hearing this, Jie Wu was overjoyed.

"What! The Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch has actually been discovered!"

Jie Wu cried out in alarm and rushed toward Jie Hui.

Jie Se also showed a look of joy, and his gaze towards Rong Jingyun slowly concealed its lewdness.

"I originally intended to let you live a little longer, so you could experience the profound wonders of the Blissful Buddha Method before you die. However, this place has the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch, which may harbor Demon Beast. It seems you will not have the fortuitous opportunity to comprehend the Blissful Buddha Method. It's truly a pity."

The man Jie Se looked regretful and disappointed.

He channeled his spiritual power and activated the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle, gleaming with golden light, pierced the air with a piercing sound as it thrust down towards the heavily injured Rong Jingyun.

In the face of life and death, Rong Jingyun, despite her severe injuries, forcefully activated the Blazing Fire Cauldron to protect herself.

However, as expected, the scene of the Demon-Subduing Pestle striking the Blazing Fire Cauldron did not occur.

When the Demon-Subduing Pestle was a few meters away from Rong Jingyun, a pillar of ice suddenly shot out from the river beside her.

The icicle was a meter thick and over ten feet long, emitting a cold, eerie blue light.

This makes the icicles look more like they are made of metal than ice crystals.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle was stuck in the ice pillar.

Several cracks spread rapidly inside the icicle.

With a loud "bang," the icicle shattered into several pieces and fell to the ground.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle was also blocked.

The sudden change made Jie Se's eyes sharpen, and he stared warily at the river.

Rong Jingyun, who had narrowly escaped death, also looked at the river beside her in astonishment.

Just now, the icicle was less than ten feet away from her when it burst out of the river.

At such close range, she couldn't detect any sign of life in the river.

Suddenly.

A tentacle shot out from underwater and coiled towards Rong Jingyun on the riverbank.

The tentacles are about the thickness of a person's waist.

Its peculiarity lies in the fact that its tentacles are almost transparent.

If it is hidden in the water, motionless, and without any fluctuation of spiritual energy, it is very difficult to detect its existence.

Rong Jingyun knew that in her current state, it was impossible for her to dodge the tentacles' attack.

She activated the Blazing Fire Cauldron, which then slammed upside down.

The Blazing Fire Cauldron enveloped her within it.

The tentacles swept up the person and the cauldron together, dragging them into the water.

Jie Hui and Jie Wu, who were in the distance, were astonished when they saw this scene.

Their attention remained fixed on the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

They already had a premonition that there were Demon Beast in the cave.

However, the location where the Demon Beast was hiding should have been near the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch, not next to Rong Jingyun, who was several miles away.

However, the two quickly came up with an idea.

The stalagmite cluster, with its Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch growing on it, is only a few meters away from the river, practically right next to the riverbank.

It's not surprising that the Demon Beast was hiding in the river.

The Demon Beast was likely drawn by the battle just now and secretly lurked downstream.

Rong Jingyun collapsed severely injured by the riverbank. Jie Se's attack, intended to kill Rong Jingyun, was mistaken by the lowly aquatic Demon Beast as an attack on it.

So, the Demon Beast conjured ice pillars to block the Demon-Subduing Pestle?

At this thought, Jie Hui's eyes lit up.

The Demon Beast went downstream, which means that the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch is now unguarded by any Demon Beast!

A sudden surge of sinister energy erupted from his body, and his figure transformed into a blur as he swiftly sped toward the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

When he was less than 100 meters away from the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch, Jie Hui was already able to sense it.

He stretched out his right hand, and a stream of foul air shot out from his palm.

The foul air, like a chain, coiled around the roots of the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

Jie Hui intends to use the chains of foul energy to uproot the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch from a distance.
