Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 107: Stealing The Herb

"Here, take this mirror; it can protect you from any attacks and teleport you ten miles away," Su Ying said as she handed a golden hand mirror to Lan Ming.

"I will go and distract those two snakes; all you have to do is steal the herb and escape," she added.

"What about you, Sister Su Ying? If you gave this mirror to me, how are you going to protect yourself?" Lan Ming didn't take the mirror and inquired.

"I have other lifesaving treasures with the same effect, so don't worry and take this," Su Ying assured with a confident smile.

She had many lifesaving treasures on her; it's just she didn't have time to use them, as Ye Chen was able to handle everything.

"The herb is about to mature, so let's not hesitate anymore," Su Ying said, and without waiting for a reply, she jumped out from the dense bushes.

Hisss! Hisss!

As soon as Su Ying came out from her hiding place, the two white snakes instantly discovered her and hissed angrily.

However, Su Ying didn't show any fear and brandished her sword.

Witnessing her actions, the two snakes became furious, and one of them directly rushed towards her with the intention to kill.

Su Ying didn't dare to take this lightly and unleashed her thunder physique.

Crackle!

In that instant, purple lightning surrounded her and condensed outside her sword.

Hisss!

The snake couldn't help but come to a halt as it sensed the thunder, excluding the aura of tribulation. It started to hesitate whether it was worth fighting with her.

However, Su Ying didn't give any time to reconsider and swung her sword with a powerful attack.

Crackle!

A terrifying arc of lightning sliced through the air, arriving in front of the snake, who was not prepared.

Boom!

The moment the arc made contact, a deafening explosion of thunder shook the lake, leaving behind wild dancing sparks and a long charred wound on Snake's thick white scale.

Hisss!

The snake screamed in agony as the lightning burned through its flesh.

Watching its companion get injured, the other snake inside the lake roared angrily and lunged at Su Ying.

Whoosh!

Su Ying didn't hesitate and twisted her body to dodge before sending another lightning arc towards the injured snake.

Hisss!

The injured snake felt humiliated by her actions and roared indignantly.

However, it didn't dare to face the incoming attack and escaped hastily before pouncing on Su Ying with its venomous fangs.

The second snake also did the same, but Su Ying avoided their attacks and brought them away from the lake.

Although the distance was not great, it was enough for someone to steal pink lotus silently, and Lan Ming didn't let go of such an opportunity.

She exerted her stealth technique to full power and moved towards the lake without making any sound.

The two snakes didn't notice her since they were angered, and the majority of their attention was on Lotus and Su Ying's attack.

Swoosh!

It was at this moment the pink lotus glowed with a golden hue and released a fragrant sweet scent in the air.

Clearly the tier-6 herb had matured completely.

Hisss! Hisss!

Sensing this, the snake started to attack Su Ying more viciously; however, she had mastered a formidable movement technique, which relied on lightning, so even touching her clothes was hard for these two beasts.

However, this was only for a short amount of time, as Su Ying was exerting her strength at full, which made her spiritual Qi deplete rapidly.

She now only had ten breaths of time left, which meant thirty seconds. Before the time runs out, Lan Ming must steal the lotus and escape; if not, all the hard work will be useless.

Lan Ming didn't know how much time she had, but considering Su Ying was just at the Qi-gathering realm, she understood she had to do everything quickly.

However, there was a problem, and that was the lotus, which grew inside the center of the lake. She had no way of taking the lotus without entering water, which would dispel her stealth.

But there was no time to hesitate, so she exerted all of her power and shot forward like a wind.

Splash!

As soon as she stepped into the water, the snakes instantly knew something was wrong and hissed angrily before running back.

They both even ignored Su Ying, who attacked them a few more times.

"Lan Ming, hurry up!" Su Ying shouted as the snakes failed to stop even after getting injured by her thunder arc.

Well, how could they stop? Especially not after watching someone plucking the lotus.

Hisss! Hisss!

The two white snakes hissed angrily as they shot forward with lightning speed.

However, it was too late as Lan Ming had already reached the ground and escaped through the dense forest.

Now both snakes were extremely furious and decided to attack Su Ying. But when they looked back, there was no one there.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Both of them became mad and started smashing trees and boulders around them while attacking every living thing near the lake.

"Phew, looks like they aren't chasing me." After running a few miles away, Lan Ming sighed with relief.

However, she did not let down her guard and stealthily moved in the certain direction.

This was a dense forest ruled by different powerful, fierce beasts, so she had to be careful, especially since the snakes were afraid to chase after her, which meant she was in the territory of a powerful, fierce beast.

But no matter how careful she was, there were some things she just couldn't avoid.

"You! Why are you here?!" Lan Ming inquired with an ugly expression as she saw Jun Wang, who had run away after ditching his master, standing before her with a sinister smile.

"Keke! Why am I here? Isn't it because of you?" Jun Wang crackled with an evil look as he looked at Lan Ming with hungry eyes.

When the mystic realm opened, he was inside the ten-mile-wide area, so he also received the chance to enter as his cultivation was at the fifth stage of Qi-refining.

He didn't care about the inheritance since he knew there were many strong disciples who would fight for it, so this left him with one choice, and that was getting a mutated fire spiritual root.

He guessed that Lan Ming would enter the mystic realm and started the search before she could meet anyone; however, when he found her, she was grouped with Su Ying.

Fortunately, both of them didn't have strong cultivation, so he tailed them without getting discovered while waiting for them to separate.

His long waiting efforts didn't go to waste as he found Lan Ming running away in a different direction, furthermore with a tier-6 rare herb in hand.

"Looks like today is my lucky day, hehe." He once again laughed sinisterly and brandished his sword.

"It would have been good if you agreed to become the disciple of that dumb old guy, but it's better now since I can extract your spiritual root here and place the blame of your death on the fierce beasts nearby," he said with a chuckle.

Knowing his intentions, Lan Ming's expression couldn't help but become uglier; however, she remained calm with the hand mirror in her possession.

"Haha! I know you must have some life-saving treasures and also defensive equipment, but can they stop the attack of fallen sects?" Jung Wang snickered with a wicked look.

"Come out; it's time to capture her!" He shouted arrogantly.

Just a while ago he had met four disciples of the fallen sect who were poisoned by someone. He didn't think of saving them at first; however, he thought it would be great if they could stop Lan Ming from escaping, so he gave them temporary antidotes and asked them to follow his orders for a while, to which they agreed.

With such a backup plan, Jun Wang was very confident in capturing Lan Ming; however, one breath of time passed, then two and three, and no one from the fallen sect came out.

"What are you doing?! Come out now if not; forget about me making an antidote for you!" Jung Wang roared with a furious look.

However, still there was no response. But they certainly blocked the escape treasures with their method, as Lan Ming's expression became pale after her methods of escpae failed to work.

"Humph! You bastards from the fallen sect, just wait for me to deal with you later!" Jun Wang shouted with bulging veins as he understood they didn't want to fight.

But there was nothing he could do now, so without any hesitation, he attacked Lan Ming.

Since his strength was superior, his reaction was swift; however, there was something faster than him, and it was a black shadow that appeared between them.

"It's you!" Jun Wang shouted angrily, but soon his face stiffened with horror.

The one who appeared in front of him was none other than the fallen sect disciple; however, he was lifeless, and there was a bloody hole in his chest.
