Chapter 148 Battle
A cold glint flashed in Liu Sisi's eyes, her sinister intent like a cold sword thrust out in the cold night, sending chills down one's spine.
She deftly raised her hand and retied her high ponytail, the strands of hair fluttering in the wind with her movement.
Then, an astonishing scene unfolded: her entire aura exploded instantly.
A powerful and ancient aura surged out from her body. Liu Sisi, who was already stuck at the peak of the Core Formation stage, actually awakened the bloodline power of the War Emperor's Holy Body.
In an instant, her skin was covered with a faint golden glow, and her muscle lines became prominent due to the awakening of her bloodline. She transformed from a wounded and weak woman into a spirited war goddess.
Liu Sisi threw down her longsword as if she had broken free from all restraints. She clenched her fists, exerted force with her legs, and rushed towards the Liu family expert like a storm.
Her movements were as fast as lightning streaking across the night sky. Every punch she threw carried an overwhelming force, her fists piercing the air with a sharp hissing sound, as if she were tearing the space itself apart.
Her legs swept across like a whirlwind, creating a sharp gust of wind. The Liu family expert was caught off guard by this sudden attack and didn't even have time to defend himself.
Liu Sisi's iron fist slammed into their weapons with a muffled clang, sending them flying.
Her flying kick struck her opponent's body, and the Liu family expert was kicked away like a sandbag, crashing heavily to the ground and howling in pain.
Liu Sisi moved with ghostly grace amidst the chaos, her attacks like a tidal wave, one after another, each strike deadly. The Liu family experts were utterly powerless to retaliate, and could only watch her in terror, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
At the end of the street, Liu Sisi fought five against one, completely subduing the peak Core Formation experts of the Liu family. The Liu family experts lying on the ground groaned in pain, never expecting that the easy target they thought they could easily defeat could unleash such terrifying combat power.
Having resolved these troubles, Liu Sisi's eyes remained cold. Without wasting a moment or returning to the city lord's mansion, she hurriedly searched for a spirited horse in the city.
Dragging her injured body, she mounted the horse, raised her whip, and lashed it down hard. The horse, in pain, neighed and galloped away, its hooves clattering and raising a cloud of dust.
Liu Sisi sat steadily on the horse's back, her eyes resolute. After leaving the city, the wilderness and forests rushed past, the wind whistling in her ears and ruffling her hair, but she paid no attention, focusing only on galloping into the distance.
In the courtyard south of the city, Han Yi lay leisurely under a giant tree, the moonlight filtering through the leaves and dappling his body.
He was dressed in a loose white robe, his hair swaying gently in the breeze, looking quite content. Beside him was a delicate little table, on which a pot of hot tea was steaming, its aroma filling the air.
Han Yi rested one hand behind his head, slowly picked up the teacup with the other, took a small sip, and then gently closed his eyes, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Lu Xuefeng walked silently to his side and said calmly, "We have news from the Liu family. Liu Sisi just dealt with five of their peak Core Formation experts and rode her horse out of the city."
Han Yi's lips curled up slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes: "Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting."
"With your current abilities, what are your chances of winning against five peak Core Formation cultivators single-handedly?"
Lu Xuefeng frowned and shook his head: "I'm in trouble. I really underestimated Liu Sisi before. I didn't expect this young lady to have such a hidden skill. She's quite impressive."
As he spoke, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, as if he were reassessing Liu Sisi's worth.
Han Yi calmly took out three pills from his pocket. They were round and smooth, gleaming with a faint light, and had a fragrant aroma.
He handed the pills to Lu Xuefeng and said softly, "These are Marrow Cleansing Pills given by the Jade Cauldron Mystic Sect. They can cleanse impurities, detoxify, clear meridians, and reshape bones and muscles. You take one, and give the remaining two to Tuoba Xun'er and Po Yue."
Upon seeing this, Lu Xuefeng was both surprised and hesitant, and quickly declined, saying, "This is such a valuable item, young master, you should keep it for yourself. I cannot accept it."
Han Yi grabbed his hand, his gaze firm: "This thing is useless to me, stop hesitating and take it."
Only if you few are strong enough can you help me out.
"We're brothers. My cultivation is sealed right now, and I need you guys to help me. These pills will help you level up quickly; they'll be invaluable in a critical moment. Don't let me down."
Looking into Han Yi's eyes, Lu Xuefeng felt a warmth in his heart. He gritted his teeth, slowly reached out and took the pill, clutching it tightly in his palm. His eyes also became resolute, as if he had made a tremendous decision.
He stared at the pill in his hand as if it possessed magic. He took a deep breath and solemnly said to Han Yi, "Young Master, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I will work hard to improve my strength. From now on, no matter when or where, I will follow you."
Han Yi smiled and nodded, patting him on the shoulder: "I believe you. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. It's no fun if I'm alone. Let's charge forward together."
Their eyes met, both knowing that the future would be full of challenges, but as long as they worked together, nothing could stop them.
Three days passed in a flash, and the courtyard remained calm and peaceful, just like any other day. But just outside the wall, a completely different scene unfolded, one of war and chaos.
The three forces in Qingmu City were locked in a fierce and chaotic battle. The half-step Nascent Soul expert from the Liu family, with a cold and stern expression, led a large group of clansmen from the Foundation Establishment to the Core Formation realm, surging in from the east like a tide. Their movements were methodical, and their eyes revealed a ruthless edge.
The guards of the city lord's mansion were on high alert. A hundred Foundation Establishment stage guards stood at the front, weapons in hand, beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads.
The junior commander, who was at the Core Formation stage, looked solemn and shouted orders to everyone to set up defenses.
At the command of the half-step Nascent Soul cultivator from the Liu family, the Liu family members rushed towards the city lord's mansion like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.
In an instant, the sound of clashing swords was deafening. The city lord's guards fought desperately, but the Liu family's offensive was too fierce, and guards fell one after another.
At the same time, the elder of the Jade Cauldron Profound Sect, who was at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, led his disciples and charged in from the south with great momentum.
The first-generation disciples who had reached the Core Formation stage charged ahead, the second-generation disciples who were in the early Core Formation stage followed closely behind, and the third-generation disciples who were in the Foundation Establishment stage provided support from the outside.
The city lord's guards at the peak of the Core Formation stage and the commander at the half-step Nascent Soul stage exchanged a glance, both seeing the resolute determination in each other's eyes.
They knew in their hearts that this battle would not be easy.
On the Jade Cauldron Profound Sect's side, the elders took advantage of a lull in the battle to quickly take out pills and distribute them to everyone.
After the disciples took the medicine, their wounds visibly healed, their strength instantly increased, and their attacks became even more ferocious.
The city lord's mansion was gradually losing ground. The city lord's guards brandished their longswords and fought fiercely with the Core Formation Perfection disciples of the Jade Cauldron Profound Sect. However, the opponents had taken pills and were extremely powerful.
The city lord's commander roared in panic and rushed toward the elder of the Jade Cauldron Profound Sect, only to be entangled by a group of disciples and unable to break free. He stamped his feet in frustration.
The battlefield was filled with smoke, and shouts of battle and screams of agony blended together.
The city lord's mansion was attacked from both sides by the Liu family and the Jade Cauldron Profound Sect. The defense line was constantly compressed, and the casualties were heavy. The guards were exhausted, and despair gradually appeared in their eyes.
Just as the city lord's mansion was about to collapse, Liu Wujing's eldest son, Liu Jing'an, the magistrate of Qingyuan County, stepped in.
Using the pretext of maintaining order in Qingmu City, he waved his hand, and the county magistrate led thousands of soldiers to the scene.
Nearly a thousand soldiers marched in formation from the military and political camp toward the city lord's mansion. Their steps were as precise as if cut by a knife, their armor gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and their discipline was as strict as the Great Wall of Steel. They surrounded the Liu family and the Jade Cauldron Xuanzong from east to south.
