Ye Yu ignored Ye Qingshuang's cries for help and instead sped up. His sense of the Autumn Water Sword was growing weaker, clearly indicating that Qin Ruoxian was not in a good situation.
Seeing that Ye Yu had no intention of helping her, Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth and took out some pills from her storage ring, swallowing them.
Immediately, spiritual energy surged from within her body, and she finally managed to escape from the blood corpses. However, Ye Qingshuang didn't notice that wisps of blood-colored energy, imperceptible to the naked eye, were seeping into her wounds. The blood corpses were still closely pursuing her.
By the time Ye Yu arrived near the Autumn Water Sword, he saw a ground full of blood corpses but no sign of Qin Ruoxian.
Judging by the surrounding scene, a fierce battle had definitely taken place.
Ye Yu looked down with a grim expression, formed hand seals, and spiritual seals rose around him as he prepared to locate Qin Ruoxian.
Just then, Ye Qingshuang's figure was rushing towards him, followed by dense masses of blood corpses.
Seeing this, Ye Yu frowned. Not wanting to be disturbed, he casually drew his sword, eliminating all the blood corpses.
Ye Qingshuang was not in good condition at this moment. Wounds were visible all over her body, blood was flowing from them, and traces of blood qi were entwined around them.
Ye Yu knew clearly that it was the Nine Nether Blood Qi!
Seeing that the blood corpses were dealt with, Ye Qingshuang quickly took out a few healing pills and swallowed them. She then stared blankly at Ye Yu, who was enveloped by spiritual seals in mid-air.
Recalling how Ye Yu had killed those blood corpses with a single sword strike just moments ago, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Ye Qingshuang was a disciple of Cangyun. Although her primary focus was alchemy, her cultivation was not weak, being at the early stage of the Golden Core.
Even with her full strength and the aid of pills, she could barely escape those blood corpses. Just how powerful was Ye Yu then?
"Ye Yu, how dare you abandon me!" Ye Qingshuang exclaimed.
Ye Yu ignored Ye Qingshuang's accusation, the spiritual seals around him dispersed, and he charged in a particular direction.
Ye Qingshuang was stunned for a while before quickly chasing after him. Seeing Ye Yu's figure growing further away, she gritted her teeth, took out a few more pills, and swallowed them before she could barely keep up.
Ye Yu finally stopped in front of a cave.
Looking at the dense mass of blood corpses below, numbering no less than a hundred, Ye Qingshuang's face turned pale, and she almost turned to flee.
"There are fluctuations of the Nascent Soul Stage among these things. Don't be reckless, let's go!"
Hearing Ye Qingshuang's words, Ye Yu merely glanced at her and said, "You can leave."
"Why, after all these years, are you still so reckless! If you hadn't been reckless back then, would my mother have died!" Ye Qingshuang cried out in pain.
At this, Ye Yu looked up at Ye Qingshuang.
That was about two years ago. At that time, Ye Qingshuang had already gone traveling with Cangyun. However, Ye Qingshuang's mother suddenly fell gravely ill, and all the alchemists in Great Yan were helpless.
Ye Qingshuang, already a genuine alchemist, immediately started her furnace and refined a fourth-grade pill.
But Ye Yu stopped her. Others might not know, but Ye Yu, who possessed exceptional alchemy talent himself, saw that the pill Ye Qingshuang had refined had been tampered with; its medicinal properties were already chaotic.
It had the appearance of a pill, but inside, it had already become poison.
However, Ye Qingshuang disdained to listen to Ye Yu. In her eyes, what did Ye Yu know? She had learned alchemy from the alchemists of Cangyun.
Ye Qingshuang, who did not believe Ye Yu at all, insisted on giving her mother the poisonous pill.
Her mother, already critically ill, passed away just a few days after taking it.
But Ye Qingshuang believed Ye Xuan's words and regarded Ye Yu as the culprit, saying that he didn't understand alchemy and was being reckless, causing Ye Qingshuang's mother to miss the best time for medication.
"What are you looking at! Am I not telling the truth? If you hadn't stopped me back then, how would mother have died!" Seeing Ye Yu look at her, Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth.
Looking at the hysterical Ye Qingshuang, Ye Yu couldn't be bothered to explain. In his past life, he had explained countless times. He simply said indifferently, "Think whatever you want."
Ye Yu took out the Purple Firmament Sword and looked at the blood corpses surging towards them from below. Blood-red light erupted from his body, and the red pillar in his dantian trembled wildly at this moment.
Endless blood-colored spiritual energy poured into the Purple Firmament Sword.
Instantly, the Purple Firmament Sword shone brightly.
"Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!" Ye Yu shouted lowly. A blood-red sword energy, tens of feet long, slashed across, and in the blink of an eye, the more than a hundred blood corpses in front of him were decapitated.
Even the few blood corpses at the Nascent Soul Stage fell to the ground, severed.
"Good sword!" Ye Yu exclaimed, looking at the Purple Firmament Sword in his hand.
Only Ye Yu knew how domineering that blood-colored spiritual energy was. Ordinary spiritual treasures couldn't withstand it, but just now, as he poured energy into the Purple Firmament Sword, he clearly felt that it was far from reaching the sword's limit.
Putting away the Purple Firmament Sword, Ye Yu rushed into the cave below without a word.
Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth and followed. Eldest Sister and Second Sister still needed Ye Yu's help to be rescued, so she had to do her best to ensure Ye Yu's safety.
Seeing Ye Qingshuang follow, Ye Yu ignored her. The priority now was to find Qin Ruoxian.
After a while, Ye Yu found Qin Ruoxian deep inside, covered in blood, still tightly gripping the Autumn Water Sword.
"She's seriously injured and probably won't last long. If you promise to come back with me to save Eldest Sister and Second Sister, I have a Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pill refined by my master, which I can give you," Ye Qingshuang's voice rang out.
The Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pill was a fifth-grade pill, an extremely rare and precious healing item.
Ye Yu looked up and glanced at Ye Qingshuang. With a wave of his hand, over a thousand spiritual seals appeared, sealing the cave entrance. Ye Qingshuang was also restrained.
"You... what do you want to do!" Ye Qingshuang's face turned pale, and her body trembled. She thought Ye Yu intended to kill her for treasure, after all, Ye Yu had even poisoned Xiao Xuan for a spiritual herb.
Ye Yu frowned, sealed her mouth as well, and then, right before her eyes, he took out a pitch-black alchemy furnace.
This guy is going to refine pills?! It's useless. Given Qin Ruoxian's injuries, only a Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pill can heal her!
A flicker of mockery flashed in Ye Qingshuang's eyes as she calmly waited for Ye Yu to beg her.
But in the next moment, Ye Qingshuang's eyes suddenly widened.
She saw Ye Yu wave his hand, and dozens of densely packed medicinal ingredients appeared around him. Immediately after, a milky white flame surged from his dantian, instantly engulfing the ingredients.
The temperature within the entire cave suddenly rose, and the medicinal ingredients were converted into liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing these skillful techniques, Ye Qingshuang was secretly alarmed.
Could this guy really be an alchemist?!
And judging by his methods, they were smooth and fluid!
