111. Chapter 111: Re-fighting the Foundation Establishment Stage

"Little girl, you've got guts!"

The female cultivator blocked Luo Yao's path and fired a burst of Spirit Power toward her.

To evade the attack, Luo Yao had no choice but to strike back—and in doing so, revealed her position.

Seeing Luo Yao's Qi Condensation Eighth Layer cultivation, the female cultivator quietly exhaled in relief, yet smiled as she sized her up.

Luo Yao said nothing, her eyes locked on the woman, flickering as she assessed how much power the woman could still wield.

If I strike now, can I win?

The female cultivator sensed the faint aura of battle intent rising from Luo Yao, her brow lifting. "Guts alone can't describe you—you actually dare challenge me?"

Seeing how sharp the woman was, Luo Yao hesitated, then bowed respectfully.

Unlike the man, this woman was meticulous and highly perceptive—she immediately sensed the threat emanating from the God-Devouring Ant.

So she dared not let the God-Devouring Ant get close.

Luo Yao exhaled in relief and swiftly turned to run in the opposite direction.

As the flames drew nearer, she felt intense heat washing over her entire body, her face darkening instantly.

The female cultivator didn't catch Luo Yao's muttering; she gripped her ring and charged at Luo Yao—mere Qi Condensation Eighth Layer…

This Talisman Treasure was taken from Gongsun Ming's Storage Bag; she'd never used it until after activating her Golden Finger, which allowed three uses.

Swish!

As Luo Yao channeled Spirit Power into it, the Talisman Treasure transformed again into a massive Long Sword, slashing toward the woman with terrifying force.

The female cultivator naturally recognized the Taixu Sect Token—after all, as one of Pingzhou's Ten Great Immortal Sects, who wouldn't?

The woman seemed to recognize the name; her expression changed instantly, but to preserve the dignity of a Foundation Establishment elder, she steadied herself at once.

"Elder, I'm merely passing through, in a hurry to return to my sect—I mean no harm."

She unleashed a blast of terrifying Heaven Fire, engulfing the woman.

At that moment, fear stirred in the woman's heart.

Fortunately, she had fought countless battles; she swiftly raised her ring to block the attack.

"Tch!" The woman sneered. "This place is ten thousand miles from Taixu Sect—even if I kill you, how could they possibly arrive in time?"

"Are you sure they won't make it?" Luo Yao sneered. "Besides, as one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, Taixu Sect has many methods—even if I die, they'll still track down the killer."

The woman snorted. "It's just a dead object. The power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is beyond your imagination."

"Is that so?"

She never expected Luo Yao could launch such an attack—but remembering her background, she regretted her own carelessness.

"Was that hammer you stole?" The woman didn't answer; instead, she narrowed her eyes at Luo Yao.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

"Hmph!"

No wonder she's Snow Immortal's disciple.

As for Luo Yao's master, she'd certainly heard of her—the famed Snow Immortal.

Luo Yao pulled out the Token given to her by Master Wei; the front bore the characters "Taixu," the back the character "Wei."

After activating the Talisman Treasure, Luo Yao no longer needed to control it—she instead drew out the Wuji Skyfire Fan.

She had already been badly injured during her fight with the man, so she couldn't fully block an attack comparable to Foundation Establishment power.

Luo Yao watched as the woman's aura gradually recovered, realizing the woman had long intended to kill her.

But no matter what, she was still Foundation Establishment.

Luo Yao narrowed her eyes at her. "Aren't you afraid of my master? Of Taixu Sect's revenge?"

"Damn it, this girl has so many good items!"

But at this moment, Luo Yao had already thrown out the God-Devouring Ant, blocking all escape routes around the woman.

But to her shock, the God-Devouring Ant absorbed the Spirit Power—its attacks were useless.

Yet when the woman saw the God-Devouring Ant, her pupils shrank instantly. "So it was you!"

Her ring blocked the Sword Qi; she quickly stuck a Talisman Paper to her body to shield against the searing flames.

"Return to your sect?"

Boom!

The terrifying Sword Qi slammed into the ring; the explosion reverberated across the surroundings, hurling the woman backward.

The woman laughed loudly, then charged at Luo Yao.

Yet as she turned, the woman pulled out her ring and hurled it at Luo Yao.

"What hammer?" Luo Yao chuckled. "Elder, I wouldn't dare get near your battle!"

Luo Yao had said this deliberately—to provoke the woman into asking, so she could naturally reveal her background.

"This is Master Wei's Token!"

Suddenly, the woman's eyes widened in horror as she saw Luo Yao clenching a Talisman Treasure; after channeling Spirit Power, a Foundation Establishment-level attack surged toward her.

"Hahaha, little girl, sharp eyes—but your luck ends here."

The woman's eyes flickered for a moment, then she waved her hand dismissively. "Then get lost!"

But she was still Foundation Establishment—not so easily defeated.

The terrifying shockwave flung the woman into the air.

Luo Yao controlled the flames, compressing them until, at their limit, they exploded outward.

She had merely suspected—but never imagined Luo Yao had the audacity to sneak into a Foundation Establishment battle.

Luo Yao had prepared in advance: she already wore her Life Dharma Treasure, the Colored Cloud Kerchief shielded her, and she swiftly retrieved the God-Devouring Ant.

However, Luo Yao pinched the Talisman Treasure again, infused it with Spirit Power, and looked at the other party with a cold sneer.

At this moment, she no longer doubted that Luo Yao was a disciple of Zi Qianxue from the Taixu Sect.

"So, you didn't attack just now not out of fear, but to secretly recover your Spirit Power?"

Luo Yao merely curled her lip and muttered to herself, "Then why didn't you know I was also stalling for time?"

"What?"

Seeing the other woman remain silent, Luo Yao knew she was intimidated by the Taixu Sect; she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then said softly, "Senior, may I leave now?"

Although unwilling, the woman still sighed, knowing she could not win in her current state, and turned to leave.

Actually defeated by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator?

The female cultivator wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth, finding it hard to believe; she had actually been defeated by someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Although she had been seriously injured in the previous battle and her Spirit Power was completely exhausted, so she could only barely exert three or four tenths of her strength.

"Zi Qianxue?"

Boom!

Thanks to Luo Yao's multiple preparations, the female cultivator's sneak attack failed to injure her at all.

"Don't think you can scare me!" the female cultivator said dismissively. "I am a Loose Cultivator by nature, so I am not easily scared; since I have already made a move, I do not care about these things."

A Talisman Treasure comparable to a Foundation Establishment Stage attack, a Dharma Treasure capable of unleashing flames that threaten the Foundation Establishment Stage...

She naturally recognized the God-Devouring Ant; otherwise, if the God-Devouring Ant had not distracted the man, she would not have been able to deal with him so easily.

The female cultivator was resisting Sword Qi at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the surrounding burning flames were causing her Spirit Power to deplete rapidly.

"This junior is a disciple of the Taixu Sect, and my master is Elder Zi Qianxue of the Taixu Sect!"

"Just because you say you are a disciple of the Taixu Sect, does that make it so?"

She was actually afraid.

Facing Luo Yao at the Foundation Establishment Stage, she had actually developed fear.
