In the distance, Li Xuexin and the others witnessed the scene unfold.
A burly man scoffed, "This Li Que really is lacking in brains. He thinks he can handle Chen Anlin, but little does he know that Chen Anlin doesn't even take him seriously."
"Forget it. This guy is unreliable, and it seems we can't count on any traps. We'll have to rely on ourselves."
At this moment, Li Que was already spitting out blood, but suddenly, he pulled out a piece of yellow talisman paper.
"Thunderball Talisman!" Li Que shouted.
This was something he had purchased from the system's shop, perfect for use as a hidden weapon.
Hmm?
Chen Anlin's heart stirred as he saw the talisman. This thing wasn't from this world.
However, despite its immense energy, Li Que clearly hadn't fully mastered the talisman yet and could only unleash a shallow attack.
Crackle!
Electricity coursed through Chen Anlin's body, but on top of his shield jade, a blue light emerged. This blue light quickly formed a protective barrier that repelled the electric current.
However, the energy of this blue light rapidly diminished; what was once a robust glow became faint.
Seizing this opportunity, Chen Anlin charged toward Li Que.
This Li Que must have exchanged for many things with his show-off points; he needed to be dealt with swiftly.
Boom!!
The aura of a mid-level fifth-tier cultivator erupted in an instant. At that moment, Chen Anlin no longer held back his strength.
"How is this possible? Mid-level fifth-tier?"
Despair washed over Li Que's face. He knew that Chen Anlin's strength was extraordinary, but he never expected it to be this terrifying.
"Miss Li, please save me!" Li Que cried out desperately.
Just as Chen Anlin's sword intent was about to reach him, Li Xuexin finally intervened.
Though she didn't care much for Li Que's life, she had to admit that he was somewhat useful. After all, she still needed him to help her find treasures, so he couldn't die just yet.
With a swift motion, she swung her sword and deflected Chen Anlin's sword qi.
Then, standing protectively in front of Li Que, her icy gaze locked onto Chen Anlin.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five other figures instantly surrounded Chen Anlin.
"Li Xuexin, I see you’re looking for death," Chen Anlin said calmly.
"Chen Anlin, your time is up, and you dare to speak so boldly?" The young man with a large knife glared with a frosty gaze. "Killing you will definitely strike a blow to the Empress."
Li Xuexin nodded in agreement. "Chen Anlin, you have committed many wrongs; we are acting on behalf of justice."
"Committed many wrongs? Well, it seems you all are rebels!" Chen Anlin retorted.
"Chen Anlin, your subordinates aren’t even here; what do you have to fight us with?" Li Que shouted.
Despite saying this, Li Que quietly stood up, his mind racing as he began to retreat while swallowing a pill.
As the medicine entered his system, his complexion instantly flushed with color, and his injuries visibly healed at a rapid pace.
"Kill!"
Li Xuexin was about to make her move when Chen Anlin suddenly interjected, "Li Xuexin, you seem to be the Sword Yin Body, right?"
Li Xuexin's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Chen Anlin. She wanted to ask him how he knew.
Regarding her own physique, Li Xuexin was well aware that only she and her master knew about it. Since childhood, her master had warned her never to reveal her condition.
The Sword Yin Body, once someone seizes the original Yin energy from it, would greatly enhance their swordsmanship and cultivation. Therefore, if anyone learned of her physique, it would lead to significant trouble in the future.
As soon as Chen Anlin's words fell, several men beside Li Xuexin exchanged glances of surprise.
Li Que's expression brightened as he excitedly fixed his gaze on Li Xuexin's back. "Miss Li is actually the Sword Yin Body! We must have her!"
"Chen Anlin, don’t spout nonsense!" Li Xuexin scolded him.
Yet despite her words, the panic in her eyes betrayed everything.
Chen Anlin thought to himself that the Wanjian Mountain Villa had appeared in novels before. Li Xuexin was indeed a prodigy; however, it seemed she was later kidnapped by the bandits of the Taiping Sect and suffered inhuman torment before ultimately meeting a tragic end. That was how he knew about her physique.
"Make your move!"
With gritted teeth, Li Xuexin decided not to give Chen Anlin another chance to speak and charged forward in an instant.
The young man’s eyes flashed as he unleashed a powerful force from his large knife.
Around them, everyone sprang into action, launching a barrage of attacks toward Chen Anlin.
"Hehe, Dou'er Jie, thank you for your hard work."
Facing these attacks, Chen Anlin calmly activated his Shield Jade. The remaining energy within the Shield Jade formed a protective barrier around him.
In an instant, a shadow darted out from beside him. It turned out that Chen Anlin had already sent a message to Yang Dou in secret, summoning her over.
Yang Dou was powerful, a third-tier expert. In an instant, the three elders protecting Li Xuexin were severely injured.
How is this possible??
The young man’s gaze sharpened as he shouted, “Protect me!”
Two of his subordinates gritted their teeth and stepped in front of him, while the young man retreated.
Yang Dou turned her attention to Li Xuexin and charged at her.
Clang! Clang!
Li Xuexin barely managed to fend off a few strikes with her sword intent, but her energy was rapidly depleting.
“Elder Sister Dou, don’t kill her! She still has value to me!” Chen Anlin shouted urgently.
This woman is the Sword Shadow Body; how could she be wasted??
Yang Dou, who had intended to finish off Li Xuexin, hesitated for a moment after hearing Chen Anlin’s words and nodded slightly, understanding.
Whoosh!
She swung her sword, planning to disable Li Xuexin’s hands first.
But at that moment, a surge of green light enveloped her, and she was sent flying backward.
Bang!!
After hitting the ground, Li Xuexin spat out a mouthful of blood. She tried to get up but felt utterly powerless.
In desperation, she glanced at Li Que in the distance. He was hiding in a corner and seemed ready to flee upon seeing the situation turn dire.
“Li Que, save me!”
Li Que paused for a moment as he turned his head, casting a complicated glance at Li Xuexin.
He wanted to save her; he wanted to show off; he wanted the Sword Shadow Body for himself.
But reason told him that staying meant death.
Without hesitation, he turned and ran away.
“You—”
Li Xuexin stared at Li Que as he left, momentarily stunned.
Those who love to show off are never good people!
He always talked about how impressive he was, yet in the blink of an eye, he was running away!
The critical point was that Chen Anlin clearly wanted to spare her life, but it wasn’t out of kindness; it was because he wanted her!
The reason was simple: she was the Sword Shadow Body!!
However, I won’t let you succeed so easily. I would rather die!
Just as despair filled her face and she contemplated taking her own life, the bloodied young man approached her.
Liu Qiang
Li Xuexin was momentarily stunned.
"Miss Li, I’ll take you away."
His two subordinates seemed to have mastered a combined attack technique, temporarily holding off Yang Dou.
"Thank you, thank you."
"It’s nothing. We’ve been childhood sweethearts."
Liu Qiang forced a smile and casually threw a yellow pill from behind him.
Boom!!
The pill struck a large tree, instantly erupting into a cloud of yellow mist. This yellow mist not only obscured vision but also blocked any form of detection.
With that, he carried the severely injured Li Xuexin and quickly left the area.
Seeing this, Chen Anlin chose not to pursue, for his target was Li Que.
Li Que had surprisingly recovered most of his injuries in such a short time. A person with a system like that was too terrifying; he could not be allowed to grow any stronger.
"Li Que!" A chilling voice came from behind him.
Li Que was startled; damn it, how did Chen Anlin manage to chase after him? He had been careful enough not to expose himself, yet Chen Anlin was still on his tail.
Whoosh!
A flash of yellow light shot toward Li Que's back.
Grinding his teeth, Li Que took out another piece of yellow talisman paper.
"Chen Anlin, just wait!"
He crushed the talisman and spat out harsh words before his figure flickered and he vanished from sight!
Teleportation Talisman!!
Chen Anlin raised an eyebrow; this Li Que certainly had quite a few good items at his disposal.
In this world, while martial arts flourished, talismans belonged to the realm of immortals. Aside from some ancient caves and tombs where they were occasionally unearthed, no one in the world could manufacture them.
And this Li Que had previously used a Thunderball Talisman and now possessed a Teleportation Talisman—this was astonishing.
He sensed that Li Que had teleported far away this time, beyond his range of perception.
Pfft!!
At this moment, Yang Dou had already dealt with the last opponent. Seeing Chen Anlin approaching, he walked over.
"Didn’t you take care of that Li Que?" Yang Dou asked.
The guy has a teleportation talisman.
This person isn't very strong, but he has quite a few good items.
He must die. Sister Dou'er, please track him down.
Alright, I’ll pursue him right away. But how do we deal with Li Xuexin?
I have a rough idea of where she is; I’ll handle this person.
Okay!
Whoosh!
Yang Dou disappeared from the spot.
In a cave somewhere,
This was the previous hideout of Li Xuexin and Liu Qiang. The cave was cluttered with trash and leftover food.
They’re all dead, all of them.
Li Xuexin felt a deep sorrow in her heart. She never expected Chen Anlin to be so lucky, that his subordinates would come to rescue him ahead of time!
The key point is, that person is a Third Grade!
If I had known he was this strong, I would never have tried to deal with him. It’s all because of that Li Que; the information he provided was flawed.
Now, Li Xuexin loathed Li Que to the core, especially since he had abandoned her and fled alone before. She gritted her teeth in anger!
People who love to show off are always like this. Xuexin, don’t be upset; you’re seriously injured and need to rest!
Liu Qiang looked at her with deep affection, his hand resting on her shoulder.
Such close contact made Li Xuexin feel a bit uncomfortable, but since he had just saved her, she couldn’t lose her temper. She could only shift her body back a little and lean against the wall. “Liu Qiang, I need to rest for a moment.”
“Yeah, rest is important. But Xuexin, are you really the Sword Yin Body?”
Liu Qiang lowered his head, his gaze flickering as he spoke.
