Chapter 65: Death

Gongsun Ming's face looked extremely ugly; he had never expected that Luo Yao had not cultivated the "Heavenly Yin Art," which made his calculations come to nothing.

What was the purpose of him taking Luo Yao as his disciple if not to have her cultivate this technique and serve as his Cauldron?

However, since Luo Yao had not cultivated at all, she was of no use to him.

"You bastard, why haven't you cultivated!"

Gongsun Ming instantly went mad, roaring as he rushed to kill Luo Yao, "Why haven't you cultivated, why!"

Pfft!

Facing a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Luo Yao was no match at all; she was instantly severely injured and fell to the ground.

"Master!"

The black qi on Gongsun Ming's body transformed into a palm that reached out to grab Luo Yao.

Luo Yao's eyes widened, and her heart instantly trembled. "Yan Jie, how did you come? Go quickly!"

Suddenly, the Array of the Cave Abode shattered; it turned out that Luo Yao's previous attack, combined with the inability to withstand Gongsun Ming's assault, caused the Array to break.

However, upon hearing this, Luo Yao cried even more loudly, "Yan Jie, how could you be so foolish, why are you so foolish!"

Fang Qingyan lay in a pool of blood, extending a hand covered in fresh blood to try and touch Luo Yao's face, but she could not lift it, so she could only offer verbal comfort.

It was just that Gongsun Ming had not yet had time to be happy when he saw a figure appear beside him again, and then he was enveloped by Sword Qi.

"Deadly reckless!"

Luo Yao's heart sank; she had no choice but to take out her Defense Magical Treasure and draw her Flying Sword to strike at the Array.

After Luo Yao left, she remembered that the technique book Luo Yao had shown her earlier felt somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recall it, so she ran to the Library Pavilion.

Gongsun Ming was stunned; where was the person?

Had Luo Yao actually vanished into thin air?

Before he could figure it out, he saw Luo Yao appear before him again.

Luo Yao had no time to feel relieved before she was suppressed by the aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage and unable to move.

"Pfft!"

Her hands trembling, she caught Fang Qingyan who had fallen before her; tears gushed out like a spring, and her eyes were filled with panic. "Why..."

She would definitely die!

Pfft!

However, that attack was too fast; Luo Yao had not even thought of a countermeasure when the attack appeared before her.

Luo Yao placed her hands on the wound on Fang Qingyan's body, pressing down hard to try and stop the bleeding, but the gruesome wound stretched from her abdomen all the way to her shoulder; blood gushed out like a spring, flowing from the gaps between Luo Yao's palms, staining her clothes red and dyeing the ground beneath them red.

She searched for almost a whole night before she finally found the answer she wanted.

So, he comforted Fang Qingyan, intending to find Luo Yao after he finished his business.

She simply made a wooden dummy, draped it with her clothes to make Gongsun Ming mistake it for her, and then used this to escape.

Luo Yao turned and ran toward other parts of the cave; fortunately, the cave was large enough, otherwise she would have had nowhere to hide.

Gongsun Ming curled his lip, paying no attention to Fang Qingyan; she was merely a cultivator at Qi Refining Stage 5, someone he could crush with one hand.

The Heavenly Yin Art was a technique used for Cauldrons; anyone who cultivated this technique would only end up serving as a Cauldron.

He turned and rushed to kill Luo Yao; this time he held nothing back, drawing a Flying Sword and executing the very Ruoshui Sword Technique he had taught Luo Yao.

As the Sword Qi pierced her flesh, blood splattered all over Luo Yao's face, and she stood completely stunned.

"Don't cry... crying ruins your face... it doesn't look good..."

Luo Yao couldn't help but cry out; Gongsun Ming's attacking motion paused, and a trace of clarity appeared in his eyes.

Fang Qingyan gritted her teeth; on the night Luo Yao came to talk to her, she had suspected that Luo Yao's junior sister had been harmed by Gongsun Ming.

"Don't cry..."

But although Xu Zhanglao believed his disciple, he had no evidence; more importantly, Xu Zhanglao was responsible for refining the Pills for the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Xuanyuan Sect.

"I knew he had no good intentions!"

He could not abandon his post.

But Fang Qingyan could not wait even a quarter of an hour, so she went to search alone.

It turned out that what had just happened was merely Luo Yao's illusion technique.

"Run? Where can you run to?"

Facing a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, she had no power to fight back.

Swish!

This time, the space around Luo Yao was completely locked, preventing her from entering her Space Magic Treasure; looking at Gongsun Ming's attack, fear flashed in her eyes.

The next second, she fell to the ground in grief and screamed hysterically, "No!"

Gongsun Ming struck without mercy, caring nothing for the so-called master-disciple bond.

Fortunately, she had previously learned a Tracking Technique that only required an item belonging to the person being tracked.

The plan was good, but the gap in strength between the two was too great.

"Yan Jie, why..."

Luo Yao had no choice but to summon her Defense Magical Treasure, but it still could not block the attack; she was sent flying and crashed into the stone wall.

So she went to find her master.

She was completely unable to block this attack.

Taking advantage of Gongsun Ming's moment of confusion, Luo Yao ran toward the distance again.

Fang Qingyan was even weaker than her; if she appeared here, Gongsun Ming would definitely not spare her.

Gongsun Ming and the others would not let her go, and they chased after her again, but this time he first used his aura to lock onto Luo Yao and suppress the Spirit Power within her body, intending to use this to imprison her.

However, despite this, just as his attack was about to land on Luo Yao, she vanished from her spot once again.

Fang Qingyan naturally had it, so she quickly found Luo Yao, who was being chased by Gongsun Ming.

Gongsun Ming sneered, flashed behind Luo Yao, and smashed down at her.

Seeing this, Luo Yao immediately consumed a drop of Spirit Milk, restored her Spirit Power, and shot rapidly toward the distance.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a fierce shout came from afar, and the two instinctively turned to look.

He looked down at Luo Yao, whose face was pale and whose mouth corner bore fresh blood; his heart trembled, but the next second, red light enveloped his eyes again, and demonic Qi surged from him like a tide.

So, seeing this, Fang Qingyan immediately grew anxious, deeply worried about Luo Yao's safety; yet when she went to her door, she found Luo Yao was not there, making her even more anxious.

"Yan Jie, don't scare me, Yan Jie..."

Gongsun Ming's face instantly turned black as a pot bottom, but he was not foolish; knowing Luo Yao would appear again, he stared fiercely ahead, and sure enough, the next second, a figure appeared, and Gongsun Ming struck without hesitation.

"Since you are of no use anymore, then die!"

Though the Sword Qi was strong, it could not harm him in the slightest; after he waved his hand to sweep the Sword Qi away, he saw Luo Yao's figure shooting rapidly toward the distance.

She spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, and her entire body became even more listless.

"Yan Jie?"

Crack!

Gongsun Ming easily caught up with the fleeing Luo Yao; at this moment, killing intent radiated from his entire body, obviously furious at being repeatedly tricked by Luo Yao.

Boom!

Under the full-force strike of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the newly appeared Luo Yao was instantly blasted into pieces.

Bang!

However, Luo Yao suddenly vanished from her spot; Gongsun Ming's fist missed, smashing into the ground and instantly creating a deep pit.

Boom!

That black palm slapped onto the ground, instantly causing the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble; the entire cave shook.

"Cough, cough!"

Fang Qingyan coughed once, fresh blood continuously gushing from her mouth; she forced a smile and said, "I said... I would protect... you..."
