Bad Luck and Regeneration

Seeing Su Yuxuan's panicked expression, Bai Qianqian frowned and asked:

What exactly is the origin of this Mei Kong?

Why are you so afraid?

He seemed like a sage, and his tone was quite gentle; he didn't seem like a bad person.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, her tone tinged with lingering fear:

Everyone who thinks this way ends up suffering a great loss!

Mei Kong may not have meant us any harm, but the bad luck he's been experiencing is simply extreme.

Getting close to him or saying more than a few words to him will bring you bad luck.

At best, it could result in injury and financial loss; at worst, it could lead to death and the end of one's life!

He's a walking jinx!

The last time I met him, if Liu Yi hadn't happened to be there, I would have been dead long ago.

After that, misfortune kept piling up. If Liu Yi hadn't helped me pull away the bad luck, I don't know how much more suffering I would have endured!

She paused, lowered her voice even further, and continued, "Mei Kong, that jinx, is a notorious figure in the cultivation Immortal Realm of the Central Continent."

His mother died when he was born; his father passed away when he was one year old...

By the time he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the entire sect had been ambushed and destroyed by the demonic sects.

It's safe to say that anyone who got close to him or spoke to him met a terrible end; it was truly terrifying!

Let's leave the Blood Devil Secret Realm quickly, or disaster may strike."

Bai Qianqian's heart skipped a beat.

Although I had already sensed that Mei Kong was strange and was on guard, I still felt a chill run down my spine and my scalp tingled when I heard Su Yuxuan say that.

"Hiss... Is this Mei Kong really that strange?"

"It's more than just eerie, it's a nightmare!"

Su Yuxuan's face turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly. "I experienced it firsthand last time. If Liu Yi hadn't intervened, I would have been dead long ago."

After that, things got even worse; he would trip and fall even when walking on flat ground.

We were so close to him just now, and we even talked to him. Now we're probably plagued by bad luck. We need to be careful!

As she spoke, she glanced around warily, her eyes filled with lingering fear.

Bai Qianqian's eyes flashed with a sharp light when she heard Liu Yi twice, and she quickly asked:

"The Liu Yi you're talking about, could it be that peerless genius? How do you know him?"

Su Yuxuan was taken aback, not expecting Bai Qianqian to care about this at this moment, but still answered:

"It was him. Last time I explored the secret realm with him, we encountered Mei Kong inside, and ever since then, I've had a string of bad luck."

She paused, a gloating smile spreading across her face:

"Mei Kong later tried to secretly collect Liu Yi's spoils, but Liu Yi ended up robbing him of all his possessions, which infuriated the jinx."

"I'm afraid in the entire Azure Billows Realm, only Liu Yi would dare to snatch Mei Kong, and he's not even afraid of his bad luck."

Bai Qianqian glanced at Su Yuxuan in surprise, then a friendly smile appeared on her face:

"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Su would also know Liu Yi."

"Oh? You know him too?"

Su Yuxuan was taken aback upon hearing this, but then she realized what was happening:

"That's right, you're all geniuses from the Eastern Desolation, it's normal for you to know each other."

Just then, a deafening tiger's roar suddenly rang out!

In the distance, a ferocious tiger with two wings on its back, three eyes on its head, and a blood-red body was pouncing towards the two of them.

A crimson beam of light condensed from its gaping maw, hurtling towards them with terrifying force.

Su Yuxuan's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! It's Blood Tiger at the Half-Step Void Return Realm!"

This is a rare sight even in the Blood Devil Secret Realm, how come we encountered it all of a sudden?

Damn it!

It must be due to Mei Kong's bad luck.

As she spoke, she swiftly dodged the crimson beam of light.

But as soon as she stopped, her internal True Power suddenly went astray, and she fell uncontrollably to the ground.

Bai Qianqian also quickly dodged the attack. Seeing Su Yuxuan in danger, she was startled.

He immediately reached out and grabbed her, and an invisible force steadily supported Su Yuxuan, preventing her from falling and getting hurt.

"Thank you for saving me, Fellow Daoist Bai."

Su Yuxuan steadied herself, her face filled with lingering fear, which was quickly replaced by a surge of anger, and she burst into a tirade:

"Mei Kong! You bastard!"

I am Peak of the Dao Image Realm cultivator, yet I almost fell from the sky because my True Power went astray.

You deserve to die!

"Hiss!"

Bai Qianqian gasped.

Seeing Su Yuxuan's disheveled appearance, and hearing that she had fallen from the sky because her True Power had gone astray, he was deeply moved.

This is absolutely outrageous!

She also gained a clearer understanding of Mei Kong's bad luck.

"Fellow Daoist Su, step back. I'll handle this Blood Tiger."

"Alright! Blood Tiger lack intelligence, but their regenerative abilities are exceptional. You must be careful!"

Su Yuxuan knew that she couldn't help with her abilities and might even make things worse.

Bai Qianqian would have to be distracted to save her, so she decisively stepped back.

Bai Qianqian glanced at the Blood Tiger that pounced at lightning speed, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and took out a top-grade spiritual sword.

Undeterred, she leaped forward to meet the attack and unleashed a sword strike.

The Slaughter Sword Qi, carrying the might to destroy heaven and earth, cleaved straight at the Blood Tiger like a thunderbolt.

Blood Tiger's eyes were filled with killing intent and bestiality. It roared and raised a giant claw covered in blood-red light, slamming it down hard on the Sword Qi.

"Bang!"

"Awoo!"

After a deafening roar, came the Blood Tiger's piercing howl.

One of its front paws was severed by the Slaughter Sword Qi, and blood sprayed into the sky.

However, a sudden change occurred: the flesh at the severed limb of the Blood Tiger writhed and instantly grew a new claw.

It opened its blood-red maw once more, and a crimson beam of light, even thicker than before, blasted towards Bai Qianqian.

When Bai Qianqian Blood Tiger had recovered its severed limbs in the blink of an eye, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she was secretly amazed by its strong regenerative ability.

She swung her sword, unleashing a Slaughter Sword Qi cleaved towards the crimson pillar of light, while simultaneously moving like an arrow, rapidly closing in on the Blood Tiger.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Awoo!"

The man and the tiger instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

Although the Blood Tiger was ferocious, it was no match for Bai Qianqian and was forced to retreat in defeat.

New wounds kept appearing on its body, and its giant claws were repeatedly severed, but thanks to its bizarre regenerative ability, it managed to survive.

Su Yuxuan watched in horror.

As expected of the Child of Fortune, his combat power is so formidable that he easily defeated the Blood Tiger, who was at the Half-Step Void Return Realm, leaving him powerless to fight back.

What surprised her even more was that Bai Qianqian seemed completely unaffected by Mei Kong's bad luck.

Could it be that she, like Liu Yi, is immune to that inexplicable bad luck?

Just as Bai Qianqian was about to unleash her killing move to completely annihilate the Blood Tiger, her hand holding the sword suddenly twitched.

My hand is cramping!

This sudden turn of events caused her attack to slow down slightly, and Blood Tiger seized this fleeting opportunity to escape in a sorry state.

Bai Qianqian's face darkened.

How could a cultivator in the Mid-stage Divine Acupoint Realm experience such an absurd situation as hand cramps?

She quickly realized that she was being plagued by Mei Kong's bad luck.

Alarm bells rang in her mind; she couldn't delay any longer!

If something goes wrong at a more crucial moment, or even if other enemies appear, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Her eyes sharpened, and she suddenly appeared in front of the Blood Tiger.

She exuded murderous intent and thrust out her sword.

A deadly sword light, swift as lightning, pierced through the Blood Tiger's head, instantly shredding its soul.

Then the Blood Tiger's massive body crashed heavily to the ground.
