I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 39 - 30: Slay (Revised)
The woman in black and the scar-faced man obviously didn’t take Jiang Yuebai, a mere Qi Cultivation Third Layer girl, seriously, unaware that her spell was so quick, accurate, and deadly, taking out one of the Demon Wolf’s eyes in a single move.
The scar-faced man’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He glared venomously at Jiang Yuebai, wishing he could tear her into pieces.
In this moment of distraction, Tao Fengnian withdrew the Locking Scythe, and an Eighth-Grade Talisman shot out.
Yellow Sand Sinking Land, the Locking Scythe raced.
The scar-faced man staggered, and the woman in black leaped up; one was swallowed by quicksand underfoot, while the other was abruptly cut off by trees.
Tao Fengnian fought against two enemies, holding his ground in his old age.
Awoo——
The Demon Wolf furiously charged and attacked Jiang Yuebai.
The Golden Light Array appeared; the Demon Wolf’s sharp claws sparked fiery spray as Jiang Yuebai fearfully retreated and drew her wood cutting blade.
"Come back!"
The scar-faced man shouted, as the Demon Wolf snarled menacingly and turned back to join the battle.
The sound of chains clanked, spells burst, Tao Fengnian was tackled by the Demon Wolf, dodging left and right, the scythe slashing up and down with dazzling silver light.
The pressure on the woman in black decreased, and she immediately scattered thorn seeds, urging the vines to grow and dance, wrapping around the scar-faced man’s arm to pull him out of the quicksand.
"You deal with the old one; leave the little one to me!"
The scar-faced man brandished his great saber with formidable momentum, joining forces with the Demon Wolf to surround and kill Tao Fengnian.
Jiang Yuebai couldn’t hide her anxiety; encountering such a life-and-death crisis suddenly, she didn’t know how to assist Tao Fengnian.
Bang bang bang!
Several vines drilled out from the ground, fiercely whipping the barrier of the Golden Light Array, the violent shaking agitated Jiang Yuebai’s spiritual energy, making her heart race.
Ugh!
A muffled groan arose as Jiang Yuebai saw Tao Fengnian kneeling on one knee, barely holding up the scar-faced man’s great saber with the scythe, the saber chopping into his shoulder, blood flowing incessantly.
The Demon Wolf attacked from behind, Tao Fengnian rolled on the ground in distress.
"Hmph, let’s see how long your turtle shell can last; once I break this array, I’m going to gouge out your little critter’s eyes and heart, pull out her tendons and skin, and roast her to feed the wolves!"
The woman in black shouted fiercely, the vines went berserk, wrapping tightly around the Golden Light Array.
The great array couldn’t withstand the pressure, the barrier shook, and the golden light threatened to collapse.
The situation was dire, Jiang Yuebai looked around hopelessly, like a turtle in a jar with nowhere to retreat.
She bit her lip tightly, her Dantian’s five elements qi vortex spun rapidly, forcing herself to calm down and devise a strategy.
The opponent was at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer; she wouldn’t stand a chance confronting them head-on.
But she wasn’t without options!
The wood cutting blade given by grandfather contained ninety-nine flashes of sharpness, enough to cut through late-stage Qi Cultivation.
The Ice Armor Beetle King had finished refining and could be fully activated once.
Plus, her wood cutting blade method...
[Wood Cutting Blade Method (Small Success: 997/1000)]
There were still chances, as long as the scheme was right!
With determination, Jiang Yuebai was no longer panicked, she picked up her storage bag, quickly took out several talismans, and activated them.
She slapped the Ninth-Grade Gale Talisman onto her leg, passively triggering it three times to increase defense, slapped the Ninth-Grade Vajra Talisman on her chest, and added the Ninth-Grade Thousand Jin Talisman to her right arm.
Right hand gripping the wood cutting blade, left hand holding the glazed bottle, Jiang Yuebai’s gaze intensified as she charged forward!
Silver light flared, tearing a rift through the vines, Jiang Yuebai dashed forward, her speed tripling compared to before, she was momentarily uncontrolled, eyes wide with terror, crashing straight into the vine that struck down from ahead.
Pa!
Jiang Yuebai was knocked to the ground; golden light flashed over her, offsetting most of the damage, but her back was still torn, causing her complexion to turn pale with pain.
"Get back, girl!"
Tao Fengnian was anxious beyond measure, momentarily distracted and tackled to the ground by the Demon Wolf.
The great saber came down, Tao Fengnian detonated a Thunder Fire Pearl at close range, forcing back the Demon Wolf and the scar-faced man, half of his body charred and blood flowing incessantly.
Seeing this situation, the woman in black squinted her eyes.
"Old man, you watch how I kill your granddaughter, slowly."
Jiang Yuebai’s eyes were red with anger, she shouted, "Grandpa, I am not a worthless person!"
Tao Fengnian trembled all over, under such perilous circumstances with a nine-to-one survival chance, if he died, she wouldn’t survive; since it was so, he placed his trust in her.
Tao Fengnian quickly swallowed a healing elixir, he had practiced cultivation for nearly forty years; although he failed to establish a foundation twice, his cultivation was far above an ordinary Qi Cultivation Perfection.
Facing a man and a wolf, what was there to fear!
The Demon Wolf roared, the saber swung fiercely, Tao Fengnian no longer focused on Jiang Yuebai, the Locking Scythe attacked fiercely, the battle resumed.
"I’ll see if you’re really not going to be distracted!"
The woman in black roared angrily, throwing out a large handful of thorn seeds, before they landed, several vines sprouted and danced wildly like snakes.
Jiang Yuebai was caught in a siege, her feet stepping Chasing Star Step, waving the wood cutting blade, gold light flickering on her body, as she slapped down three consecutive Vajra Talismans, leaving blood marks on her body.
Risking injury, Jiang Yuebai gradually adjusted to the current speed and strength, switching from passive defense to active attack.
[...Wood Cutting Blade Method Skill Level +1]
[...Wood Cutting Blade Method Skill Level +1]
At the moment the last Vajra Talisman’s effect expired, she broke out of the encirclement, her speed soaring to the limit, lunging straight at the woman in black’s face.
The woman in black underestimated her, caught off guard, seeing Jiang Yuebai slash down with the blade, she only had time to dodge sideways, but still fell short.
The blade scraped past the woman in black’s shoulder, she widened her eyes in panic, but didn’t feel the sensation of flesh being torn.
Looking down she couldn’t help but sneer; that worn-out wood cutting blade hadn’t even torn her vestment robe.
Poom!
The woman in black kicked, Jiang Yuebai spat blood, blasted out like a cannonball, crashing heavily against a tree and fallen on the ground.
Jiang Yuebai didn’t know how many ribs were broken, blood surged from her throat, unable to be suppressed, the pain almost driving her unconscious.
"A moth against a tree! Courting death!"
The woman in black walked over slowly, the vine around her arm transformed into hard thorns, flickering metallic luster.
Jiang Yuebai panted heavily, gripping the wood cutting blade, supporting herself halfway up.
"I’m done playing, time to send you on your way!"
As soon as those words fell, hard thorns shot out from the woman in black’s hand.
Jiang Yuebai’s eyes were fierce, under life and death pressure her spirit focused acutely, enlightenment came, everything around her seemed to slow down, countless practicing blade figures flashed through her mind.
All shadows converged as one, she swung her arm forcefully!
Ding!
Hard thorns crumbled!
[Congratulations, your Wood Cutting Blade Method has improved to Great Achievement Realm]
This was the moment!
Qi poured through her body, Jiang Yuebai hurled out the glazed bottle with her left hand, blood in her mouth stepping forward.
The woman in black narrowed her eyes, facing the unknown glazed bottle and the blade-wielding girl, in an electric moment she made a decision, her hand slash towards the glazed bottle.
Poom!
The glazed bottle shattered, Ice Armor Beetle King spread its wings, dense cold mist like a giant beast’s mouth, instantly engulfing the woman in black and surrounding vines.
Her blood froze, ice frosted her body rendering her immobile, could only stare wide-eyed as Jiang Yuebai’s blade swept towards her neck.
Struggling with all her might, the woman in black leaned back, golden light glaring, skimming past the front of her neck, never touching.
Jiang Yuebai landed and collapsed, the rune on the blade dimmed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Pathetic little...!!"
Warm liquid spurted from the woman in black’s neck.
Poom!
A head rolled to the ground, eyes wide in horror.
Jiang Yuebai’s momentum deflated, trembling in fright.
The woman in black thought her blade couldn’t hurt her, not knowing the Great Success Saber Method generated vitality energy, combined with ninety-nine strokes of metal sharpness, decapitation was easy.
She had calculated every step from breaking out of the Golden Light Array, hitting her with the first non-lethal strike, knowing of her counterattack without using Ice Armor Defense, all to make her underestimate.
For the right timing, for a decisive strike!
A whimper, Tao Fengnian was drenched in blood, pulling the Locking Scythe from the Demon Wolf’s back neck, its massive body toppling heavily.
The scar-faced man was shocked speechless, unable to believe Jiang Yuebai could kill the woman in black, during distracted moments the Demon Wolf was slain, his eyes bulging wide.
"I’ll make sure you die miserably!!"
The scar-faced man roared angrily, grabbing a bottle of elixir from his bosom, smashing it in rage.
The elixir bottle shattered, blue smoke lifted with enticing scent, drifting with the wind, the quiet forest suddenly surged.
Awoo——
Wolf howls and lion roars, a hundred beasts bellowing.
Tao Fengnian trembled violently, his voice shook, "This is... Beast-Attracting Fragrance!"
