Chapter 243

The Sword Qi Talisman is Jiang Yu's favorite treasure, so when the opponent just took it out to activate, she instantly crushed the Flash Evasion Talisman.

When that earth‑shaking Sword Qi descended, Jiang Tu tossed aside the leader of the Five Demons, shouted for Jiang Yu to fly and pounce on the cultivator wielding the Sword‑Flipping Talisman, and smashed him with a claw.

Another cultivator nearby saw this, turned and ran, but he never expected a sword light to meet him head‑on in the direction he fled.

Bang bang, the man was split in two; his eyes widened as he stared at the unharmed Jiang Yu flying back, his death unblinking.

A Sword Qi Talisman of the Golden Core stage somehow didn't injure Jiang Yu at all.

Over there, the first and second leaders of the Five Demons besieging Mo Yizhou mutually decided to abandon the attack and fled in opposite directions.

"Jiang Yu, your cultivation…" Mo Yizhou was injured; just now Jiang Tu had eased his pressure for a moment, preventing him from being seriously wounded by those two.

He then realized that Jiang Yu's cultivation was not at the early Golden Core stage; she was already at the mid‑Golden Core stage.

Envy, jealousy, hatred—direct transmission from the Nascent Soul level says resources are abundant; she jumped from Golden Core straight to mid‑stage, no wonder she dared to post a life‑or‑death challenge.

"I'll take one, you do as you wish." Jiang Yu said nothing, unleashed the Thunder Bamboo Fan, and with Jiang Tu chased after one of them.

"Hey?" Mo Yizhou swallowed a pill, sighed while sweeping the battlefield; the three early‑Golden Core cultivators should have considerable assets, but they're all Jiang Yu's—he wishes he could run off with the loot.

As for pursuing the second leader of the Five Demons, better drop it; I wasn't a match just now.

On this side, Jiang Tu was regretting, "Just now, I forgot to collect the loot."

Jiang Yu's divine sense far exceeded her peers, already seeing dozens of miles away, continuously accelerating the fleeing Five Demons leader; she tapped her toe, poured more spiritual energy into the Thunder Bamboo Fan, increasing its evasion speed, "Don't worry, Mo Yizhou will give us his."

"Pig teammate, he can't even hold out for half a cup of tea; disciples of the Hehuan Sect are truly weak.

He certainly wouldn't dare chase the enemy now." Jiang Tu scoffed, completely ignoring that she was only at the early Golden Core stage.

Meanwhile, when Jiang Yu reached the Golden Core stage, she not only had several premium pills nearby, but also used a celestial stone to forge a core as the final three heavenly thunders struck, instantly achieving mid‑Golden Core.

Why she didn't hold a Golden Core ceremony? It was to avenge, keeping her cultivation secret for a while as a trump card.

"By the way, will Mo Yizhou spread your true cultivation?"

Jiang Yu gave no reply, because the Five Demons leader ahead was only a few hundred zhang away.

The Destiny Lightning Fire Sword was launched without hesitation; clang, the wind‑splitting sword sound struck the Five Demons' rear heart.

Even if that Five Demons leader suddenly veered, changing his flight path, he still couldn't escape the fiery sword light closing in.

The man shouted, "Fellow Daoist, I'm willing to sell all my assets for my life."

The small shield in his hand suddenly expanded with a "ding" as it blocked the sword light; the flying needle he launched then struck Jiang Yu's face.

He felt a surge of joy, but Jiang Yu kicked the ground; the Thunder Bamboo Fan she was wielding flashed with lightning arcs, crack—shattering the flying needle.

In the next instant, her second sword strike came at him simultaneously.

Even scarier, the Mystic Turtle flashed in the air, blocking his path.

Having destroyed one Destiny Flying Needle, he no longer kept it, and fired the remaining four needles together, "Fellow Daoist, show mercy where you can…"

Helplessly, Jiang Yu remained silent the whole time, wielding a sword technique with one hand and lightning with the other, controlling both treasures to strike down.

Crack—, Boom

The man's flying needles were many and fast, but in front of the lightning they were literally cracked away, and the defensive shield was also cleaved by a sword.

However, the Five Demons leader didn't give up for free; his quick eyes and hands retrieved a flying needle.

He also flung several high‑grade fire talismans at Jiang Yu's spirit talismans, colliding with the lightning.

Boom boom boom, as Jiang Yu dodged left and right, her protective aura burst, and when another wave of talismans exploded, a flying needle hid among them.

In a fleeting cold flash, Jiang Yu tilted and leapt, her nearby sword whooshed to slash the flying needle.

Ding—, the flying needle under the Lightning Fire Sword, forged with Geng metal, suddenly fragmented.

The Five Demons leader's last Destiny Flying Needle was destroyed; he spat a mouthful of blood, dared not continue the fight, and flung a black sphere.

He activated a Teleportation Talisman amid the exploding dense fog, but Jiang Yu's bamboo fan discharged again, forming an electric net that trapped him, instantly turning the teleportation talisman to ash and aborting the teleport.

Moreover, Jiang Yu's speed was swift; the sword technique in her hand surged again, the sword qi's force intensified, and when Jiang Tu struck the man from behind, it sliced through his throat.

Yet the man, desperate to survive, his primordial spirit whooshed out from the top of his head, trying to seize a route and flee.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yu's Thunder Bamboo Fan had not been retracted; the surging lightning arc struck his primordial spirit again at high speed.

A wail—his final sound; after Jiang Tu seized his Storage Ring and took the corpse, it was incinerated by Spiritual Fire, drifting into the forest below, perhaps contributing to the trees.

Jiang Tu clutched several Storage Rings, leapt onto the bamboo fan: "Finally got some profit back, not in vain.

Jiang Yu, this time you didn't use spirit talismans; just the Lightning Fire Sword and the bamboo fan eliminated the opponent, and it was very quick.

But, I think we should still avoid the life‑or‑death arena; the restrictions up there are too many and disadvantageous to you.

We don't need to rush to East Continent either; Sui Lv Zhenjun is there.

"Hmm."

"Hmm? You don't agree to the post?"

"Agree, I'm injured." Jiang Yu finished, pressed the wound, and leaned toward the fan's surface.

It turned out the opponent's last flying needle had grazed the back of her hand; the reddish wound now turned black.

"Ah, it's poisonous!" Jiang Tu immediately took over the bamboo fan's flight, but fearing another calamity, his divine sense swept and the fan fell into the forest.

He deftly unfurled a formation banner, and moments later ushered Jiang Yu into the Dragon Pearl Space.

"Wake up." Jiang Tu, using spiritual energy to form a blade, cut away the blackened wound on Jiang Yu's hand back, then fetched a Detox Pill to feed her.

But it had little effect, as her wound quickly turned black again; she still couldn't move.

Jiang Yu remained conscious, though her body was weak, "Find that person's Storage Ring."

"Oh, oh." Jiang Tu, unlike before, didn't pour out the contents of a single ring; instead he took out all the pill bottles from several Storage Rings.

He let Jiang Yu examine them one by one; fortunately there was indeed a bottle labeled "Demon‑Resolving Pill."

Soon after Jiang Yu took the medicine, the cut flesh regained a crimson hue, and a faint black vapor drifted from her.

"A demonic cultivator is a demonic cultivator; this is poison refined from Yin‑Demon matter, luckily there's an antidote.

"Jiang Yu, how do you feel?" Jiang Tu saw Mo Yizhou flying nearby, but he wouldn't look for him at this moment.

「Well, I estimate I need to rest a few days. 」

「I was overconfident; mid-stage Golden Core is merely cultivation, not strength. 」Jiang Yu closed her eyes to review the previous battle; she needs to gain more experience through actual combat.

On the other side, Mo Yizhou flew over several hundred Chinese li but found no one.

He sent out a message but got no reply, while the Union Joy Sect ordered Golden Core cultivators to return to the sect swiftly.

Helpless, he could only send Jiang Yu a few more messages, then return to the sect to see if there was any urgent matter.
