Battle 2

"Little brother, you smell wonderful! You must taste delicious too!"

The woman straightened her clothes, raised her hand, and pinched a Sword Qi that had broken through her defenses and was flying towards her with two fingers. She said with a charming expression, "By the way, little brother, my name is Lü Luo. Remember it when you die."

"Who's got such a big mouth? It's you, you Lü Luo." A cold laugh rang out from the woods, Chu He calmly walked out.

"Now that Bai Lili has reached the Golden Core Stage, you're just a monkey ruling the world."

Lü Luo sneered and crushed the Sword Qi in her hand, "Chu He, I didn't expect to run into you here. By the way, I heard that your senior brother Qin Yu died in the secret realm to cover your retreat, is that true?"

You're asking for it!

Chu He let out a cold shout, raised his hand and grabbed at Lü Luo. At the same time, Shen Ge swung his sword, and several sword lights directly blocked all of Lü Luo's escape routes.

Lü Luo smiled slightly, lightly licked her red lips, and said, "I was originally planning to play with you two, but you're both so gentle, so see you next time."

With that, she turned and swayed away, a pink mist rising behind her.

Lü Luo isn't stupid. She was already a bit unsure of herself when facing Shen Ge alone, and now Chu He has joined the fray. If she doesn't run away, she'll really be waiting to die.

Their attacks entered the mist, but they missed the woman; she seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"Should we pursue them, Senior Brother Chu He?" Shen Ge asked, sheathing his sword.

Chu He frowned and said, "Forget it, she's fast. If we really chase after her, we don't know who will kill whom."

"That's true. After all, the enemy has a large number of troops, and we can't go too deep without support."

Shen Ge stepped forward to the body of his deceased fellow disciple, sighed softly, and put it into an empty Storage Bag.

"By the way, that woman's name is Lü Luo. Do you know her, Senior Brother Chu He?"

Chu He nodded and explained, "According to the Hehuan Sect's naming convention, Lü Luo is one of the Seven Heavenly Maidens. In their sect, the Seven Heavenly Maidens ' status is second only to the Holy Maiden Bai Lili, and they are considered candidates for the sect's Elder Council."

"The seven of them are named Hong Qi, Cheng Yu, Huang Yi, Lü Luo, Qing Sha, Lan Xun, and Zi Huan, arranged in the order of seven lights."

"Among them, Hong Qi, Cheng Yu, and Huang Yi have already entered the Golden Core Stage, while only the latter four are still hovering at the Foundation Establishment Peak."

"Although I really don't want to boost the morale of others and diminish our own, I have to admit that all the women who can become the Seven Heavenly Maidens are very strong. As for this Lü Luo, there are no more than three Foundation Establishment Realm in our sect who can fight her and gain a firm advantage."

"Only you and Jin Ling have a slight advantage. I'm outmatched. I can only guarantee that I won't lose, since my earth-type Spirit Root attack damage isn't as strong as yours."

"Zi Huan?" Shen Ge pondered for a moment before saying, "I should have killed her. I encountered a woman dressed in purple gauze before; her illusion magic was truly powerful. She actually managed to trap me in an illusion without my knowledge. Fortunately, she was too overconfident and didn't rush to attack me, otherwise I might have died."

Chu He stopped in his tracks, staring at Shen Ge in astonishment. After a long silence, he patted Shen Ge's shoulder and said, "You kid, I knew you were extremely strong when you risked your life to kill a Golden Core cultivator. I never expected that one of the Seven Heavenly Maidens of the Hehuan Sect would be killed by you."

"That Zi Huan's strength lies entirely in illusion magic; she's an expert in this field. Although she can be easily countered at times, it has to be said that she can sweep away most people with just this illusion magic. I'm afraid I would die if I were to encounter her and make a careless mistake."

"By the way, I heard that this generation's Zi Huan is the daughter of the previous Seven Heavenly Maidens Qing Sha, Qing Sha. I think you should talk to Senior Sister Liuyue or the elders and ask them to get rid of that person, otherwise you won't have a peaceful life in the future."

"After all, it's better to eliminate future troubles once and for all than to guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"You should know that woman is already in the Late Golden Core Stage; she's very powerful. Even ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivators couldn't defeat her."

Shen Ge thought about it and agreed, saying, "Alright, I'll tell Uncle Fenghuo later and ask him to help out. That old guy may seem unreliable, but he's still my great-uncle's top disciple. Killing a Seven Heavenly Maidens shouldn't be a problem for him."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shen Ge's mind, and he remembered something. During the battle at the Verdant Sea Spirit Moon Sect captured Li Xiao, an elder of the Devil Creek Sect. It was said that this woman was also from the Hehuan Sect. He wondered what happened to her in the end.

To be honest, Shen Ge was a tiny bit curious, since everyone else had been killed, and only Li Xiao had been captured alive.

Thinking of this, Shen Ge asked directly, "By the way, I heard that a certain elder from the Hehuan Sect was captured alive by the Devil Creek Sect. What was the final outcome?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Chu He chuckled. "Junior Brother Shen, I'm not the sect's know-it-all. Besides, this involves the Golden Core Stage, so the sect has no need to announce it to us. That person is simply in the sect's Cold Prison."

"Alright, alright, stop asking. Let's get out of here first, or things will get really difficult if we get surrounded."

After saying that, the two of them immediately stepped onto their flying swords and headed ostentatiously towards the Spirit Moon Sect.

Some disciples of the Hehuan Sect attempted to intercept them, but their efforts amounted to nothing more than leaving behind a few corpses.

After all, when Shen Ge and Chu He joined forces, anyone who didn't meet their level as one of the Seven Heavenly Maidens would be cut down in about ten moves.

Back at the Spirit Moon Sect's side, the number of the Hehuan Sect members around them gradually decreased. After all, after a round of clashes, the disciples of both sides tacitly maintained the battle line around the waterfall river in the middle as the boundary.

After all, they were just Foundation Establishment Realm disciples. Who won or lost had no bearing on the outcome of the battle. In the end, it would still depend on those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to decide the winner.

So after both sides dropped hundreds of corpses during the first clash, they became less aggressive. Although the fighting continues and deaths are constant, large-scale melees are rare now; they are mostly small skirmishes.

After all, if they fight to the death but can't control the outcome of the battle, no one wants to die.

Upon returning to the temporary camp, Shen Ge immediately began to regulate his breathing. After so many battles, his Spiritual Qi was already quite depleted. Although he could recover with pills, prolonged battles would also exhaust his mind and spirit, so taking a break was a good idea.
