Chapter 417: No matter the cost, we must bring Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan to our side!

Dongfang Bubai, not far from Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan, was actually in no better shape.

Her red dress was now tattered from the aftermath of the clash, and only the red fabric covering her private parts had been saved at the critical moment by her internal energy.

Furthermore, crisscrossing wounds had appeared all over her body.

Dongfang Bubai could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood; she had sustained extremely severe internal injuries.

However, because she had survived since childhood by rolling in piles of corpses, she had encountered injuries even worse than this.

Once, she had even been on the verge of death; if not for the belief in her heart that she must find her sister, she might have already perished.

Enduring the pain, Dongfang Bubai extended her right hand and pressed several vital acupoints on her body.

She then struggled to crawl up from the ground, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate her energy, wanting to first stop the bleeding from the external wounds caused by the shockwave.

If these were not addressed quickly, even if her martial power were profound, she would lose her life and strength as her blood drained away.

As Dongfang Bubai struggled to circulate her energy and regulate her breath, the wounds on her body surface gradually stopped bleeding.

She then raised her head to look at Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan, who was struggling nearby; the playfulness from the beginning and the fanaticism from the battle were gone from her eyes.

Now, only lingering fear and infinite shock remained in her gaze.

"The Heavenly Dao reward is actually this terrifying!"

Dongfang Bubai shook her head and sighed.

"Such a young girl already possesses the strength of the high stage of the Earth Immortal*Mortal Realm, and she fought me to this state while being several minor realms below me."

Dongfang Bubai looked at Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan with a very complex expression.

"If this girl were even slightly stronger in her cultivation, I fear I would have been killed instantly by that terrifying strike just now."

Dongfang Bubai then endured the pain and said loudly to Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan:

"Your name is Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan, right? I have remembered you."

"You are very strong, worthy of being called a powerhouse. My coming to the Huashan Sword Sect this time has not disappointed me!"

"If anything happens to the Huashan Sword Sect in the future, you can come to the Sun Moon Divine Sect at Black Wood Cliff to find me."

After speaking, Dongfang Bubai dragged her severely injured body and slowly walked down the mountain.

On the surface, it appeared that Dongfang Bubai was a notch stronger than Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan, but that was not the case.

Dongfang Bubai's injuries were no less severe than Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan's; it was only because of their different upbringings that Dongfang Bubai's willpower was more tenacious, and her pain tolerance was countless times higher, which led to the current result.

Of course, if the two were locked in a life-or-death struggle, Dongfang Bubai would certainly be able to kill Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan while she was currently unable to move.

The reason Dongfang Bubai was in such a hurry to return down the mountain was, firstly, that besides her injuries, she wanted to savor the benefits this battle had brought her.

Now she has completely sensed the loosening of her cultivation bottleneck; as soon as her injuries stabilize, she will definitely be able to charge into the Earth Immortal* Innate Realm.

Secondly, the commotion caused by her clash with Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan at the Huashan Sword Sect was simply too great and would inevitably attract countless people from the Jianghu. Dongfang Bubai had countless enemies in the Jianghu; even if the people of the Huashan Sword Sect did not attack her, others from the Jianghu might secretly ambush her.

Under normal circumstances, she would not be afraid, but her current state was too poor, and she had no energy to face other problems.

Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan watched Dongfang Bubai's slowly receding figure with a complex expression; she actually began to feel some pity for this seemingly powerful woman.

However, she could not afford to think too much; Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan's own situation was also very dire, and she had to circulate her energy to heal, otherwise, these injuries might leave her with irreversible hidden ailments.

Great Ming, Hulongshanzhuang.

Zhu Zhu Wushi looked at the changes in the Famous Sword Ranking in the sky, his eyes filled with malice.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"The Huashan Sword Sect actually hides such a treasure!"

"That Zuo Lengchan from back then was simply a piece of trash!"

"If I had discovered earlier that such a treasure was with that trash Yao Yue Buqun, I would have personally gone to seize it!"

"If I had seized it, the current Heavenly Dao reward should belong to me! It belongs to me!"

The veins on Zhu Zhu Wushi's face bulged hideously, revealing the resentment in his heart.

After Zhu Zhu Wushi calmed down, he looked at the Famous Sword Ranking in the sky again and began to ponder.

"I previously wanted to make the Huashan Sword Sect, which is now the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, a pawn for me to control the Great Ming Jianghu."

"But many of the experts I sent were either beaten back by that little girl Yao Yue Yao Yue Lingshan or killed by her." ===== CHAPTER 418 =====
