BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57: Fighting Xian Min (2)
Burning their blood essence was considered a last resort tactic for every cultivator because they are extremely difficult to recover. Not only that, there is barely any blood essence in their body, and losing a few drops would affect their cultivation completely.
‘Burning blood essence?’ Yang Wei asked inwardly as he became more cautious at Xian Min.
Without knowing how much power he gained from that, Yang Wei decided to run around and dodge Xian Min’s strike at all cost.
“Did you turn into a chicken? Is running away all you can do?” Xian Min sneered as he continued to chase after Yang Wei.
“Why did you stay silent? What happened to that power display of yours previously?” Xian Min continued his taunting at Yang Wei.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei remained composed as he ignored all of his taunts.
Yang Wei tried to dodge toward the right side again but this time, Xian Min knew about his movement as he appeared in front of him and swung his sword at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei hurriedly raised his sword to block the strike.
BOOOOOM!
The impact caused Yang Wei to knock back and cough up some blood from his mouth.
Yang Wei wiped the blood off from his mouth with his sleeve and continued to dodge. However, dodging could only get him so far as Xian Min got the gist of Yang Wei’s movement as he struck him repeatedly.
“Hahaha, trash like you want to win against me. Dream on!” Xian Min laughed evilly as he pressured Yang Wei more.
At this time, Lian Xinyue has recovered half of her true qi and wanted to assist Yang Wei. But she was held back by Elder Jing and Lian Xinyue raised her eyebrow in surprise.
“E-Elder Jing, h-he needs our help, or else he’s going to die from that traitor Xian Min,” Lian Xinyue tried to struggle as she reasoned her action.
Elder Jing didn’t reply to her and fling her back to the side. Elder Jing was watching Yang Wei solemnly as she continued to use her spiritual sense secretly on Elder Du Hanli.
Lian Xinyue was unable to understand Elder Jing’s action and tried to argue with her but Elder Pao Huang stopped her.
“Stop with your actions, Lian Xinyue. Elder Jing is stopping you because she needed to pay attention to Elder Du Hanli and his disciples’ actions.” Elder Pao Huang warned Lian Xinyue slightly as he sneaked a glance at the Purple Scorpion Sect.
Lian Xinyue regained her composure and saw Elder Pao Huang glance. She turned toward the Purple Scorpion Sect and was shocked to see their malicious expression.
They were holding the Toxic Smoke in their hand tightly and it could be seen they were prepared to fight all out if they interfere in the fight between Yang Wei and Xian Min.
“Damn it, at this rate, Xian Min will win because he burned his blood essence,” Lian Xinyue gritted her teeth, seemingly unwilling to stay put as she watched her savior get killed.
“Sigh, you are still too ignorant regarding blood essence. Did you think his power is going to be infinite? Sooner or later, Xian Min would become exhausted since burning blood essence has a time limit.” Elder Pao Huang shook his head and explained the process to Lian Xinyue.
Lian Xinyue was dumbfounded by this discovery. Shortly after, her expression brightened when she knew Yang Wei would gain the advantage after his time limit expired.
Meanwhile, Xian Min was sweating nervously as he still couldn’t finish off Yang Wei despite burning his blood essence.
‘Damn it, at this rate I would become exhausted,’ Xian Min’s movement became shakier as he wanted to end the fight quickly.
Yang Wei didn’t know about the time limit of burning a blood essence but he wasn’t dumb enough to fight against Xian Min when he had a power boost.
‘I just have to keep dodging any critical strike from him and wait for the opportunity,’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he focused his attention on Xian Min’s footwork.
Whenever he saw Xian Min raising his right foot to leap toward him, he would dodge toward the left side to avoid his strike.
It may be a cowardly tactic but any tactic that allows you to win in the end is a good tactic.
Why fight with honors if losing means the end of your life?
Yang Wei was not the righteous and honorary type to fight fairly against his enemies. Since Xian Min resorted to burning his blood essence to try and win, Yang Wei would also not be polite to hack him into pieces if he had the opportunity to do so.
Time slowly passed without Xian Min landing Yang Wei a heavy injury and his blood essence time limit ran out.
Instantly, Xian Min’s movement decreases, and his true qi becomes depleted. It was this moment that Yang Wei was looking for.
‘It’s time,’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he leaped forward to end his life in one stroke.
However, he quickly changed his direction when he detected something from behind. At the same time, Elder Jing also moved and used her true qi to strike at the Purple Scorpion Sect disciple who tried to sneak attack Yang Wei.
“Hmph, throw your Toxic Smoke, this woman is not simple as I can’t detect her cultivation base.” Elder Du Hanli scoffed as he joined the fight.
The disciples from Purple Scorpion Sect all raised their hands to throw the Toxic Smoke but before they could release it, their hands were sliced off.
It took a few moments before their body realized their hand had been sliced off as blood started spraying in the ground.
“AHHHH”
The disciples screamed in agony as they grabbed their wound tightly to prevent any more blood from spraying and tried to lessen the pain.
Elder Du Hanli witnessed his disciples and rage-filled his eyes.
“I will cripple you and make you pleasure my disciples for slicing their hand,” Elder Du Hanli roared as he lunged toward Elder Jing to avenge his disciples. The disciples were all trained by him and he treated them with care.
