Chapter 44: The Real Battle
The combat power displayed by Lin Aoxue was truly too strong. She had killed three Spirit Pattern Realm cultivators in an instant, a whole realm above her own.
Moreover, no one present could understand how Lin Aoxue had done it.
As Lin Aoxue defeated the three Spirit Pattern Realm cultivators, the effect of the Wind God Pill on her also wore off. The green energy gradually dissipated, and her speed began to drop sharply.
"Has the effect worn off?" Lin Aoxue quickly retreated from the battlefield, returning to the rock she had stood on before. She then took out a Rejuvenation Pill and consumed it.
A moment ago, relying on the speed from the Wind God Pill, she had consumed a large amount of spiritual energy in one go and urgently needed to replenish her strength. As the Rejuvenation Pill entered her stomach, Lin Aoxue returned to her peak state.
However, Lin Aoxue did not immediately take another Wind God Pill, because after each use, there was a period of drug resistance.
To take the same type of pill again, she had to wait a while for the residual medicinal power in her body to completely dissipate before it could be effective again.
The artifact ship carrying Ye Liuyun and the others finally arrived at the outskirts of the battlefield. From a distance, they could see the chaotic scene ahead.
"We're here. Ahead is the battle zone between our Yunxia Sect and the Zixia Sect. There's no need for you to go over. Just stay active on the periphery. The Zixia Sect's Spirit Stream Realm disciples will surely be active on the periphery as well. In short, fight if you can win, run if you can't. Just stay alive," Yun Yun instructed the crowd, then controlled the artifact ship to descend.
The disciples of the Yunxia Sect grew increasingly nervous. Some of the more timid ones had their legs trembling. This was a normal reaction. People who had never been on a battlefield would definitely be afraid.
They needed to overcome this hurdle.
"Alright, you're on your own now. Remember, do not go to the battle zone, stay on the periphery. If you run to the battle zone and get killed, you have only yourselves to blame." After saying this, Yun Yun soared into the sky and flew towards the main battle area, leaving behind a group of bewildered newcomers.
However, the moment Ye Liuyun disembarked, she immediately started walking towards the battle zone without wasting any time.
"Hey? Miss Ye, didn't the Sect Master tell us not to go to the main battle zone?" Xiao Hansheng called out hurriedly.
But Ye Liuyun ignored him. She quickened her pace, pretending not to hear, and soon disappeared from Xiao Hansheng's sight. As for the other disciples, even fewer paid any attention to Ye Liuyun's movements.
As Ye Liuyun got closer to the main battle zone, she saw many spectating cultivators.
"Tch! No matter which world it is, there's never a shortage of onlookers. Alas!" Ye Liuyun looked at these people and sighed.
After confirming that no disciples from her sect were following her, she walked to a hidden corner. From the pills she had refined, she took out a bottle of pills called Myriad Transformations Pills.
This was a functional pill. As its name suggested, it was a disguise pill that could change one's appearance. She didn't know what she would encounter later, but just in case, and to avoid drawing attention, changing her appearance was necessary.
After Ye Liuyun consumed the pill, a white mist emanated from her body and enveloped her for a moment.
When she walked out of the mist, there was no trace of Ye Liuyun. What emerged was a white-robed youth who bore a striking resemblance to her.
"Ah! Even though it's fake, this appearance still brings back fond memories," the youth lamented while looking in a mirror after he emerged.
This was the image Ye Liuyun had disguised herself as using a pill.
"You kid, you're a bit boring. Since you were going to disguise yourself, why not change into a completely different appearance? Why did you have to change into this one?" Lin Qingyou complained.
The appearance Ye Liuyun had transformed into was how he had looked at the age of twelve, before he had turned into a girl. Her clothes had changed as well.
"You just don't get it. Even if it's fake, it's nice to indulge in the fantasy. Alright, this will do. Let's go check out the situation on the battlefield first," Ye Liuyun chuckled.
However, she had only taken a few steps forward when a figure suddenly fell from the sky.
"Careful!" Lin Qingyou quickly reminded Ye Liuyun.
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun didn't even think and quickly took a few steps back. The next moment, a female disciple wearing a Yunxia Sect uniform suddenly fell from above.
"Thud!" The female disciple crashed to the ground just three meters in front of Ye Liuyun.
She must have been knocked out of the sky by a Zixia Sect disciple. She was an early-stage Spirit River Realm disciple, a mid-tier outer sect disciple.
The female disciple struggled to get up from the ground, but just then, another figure flew down from the sky and landed in front of her.
"Still trying to get up? I'm warning you, you'd better stay down. Otherwise, don't blame me if you die." This was a mid-stage Spirit River Realm male cultivator from the Zixia Sect.
The Yunxia Sect woman glared at him with an unwilling expression. She took a deep breath, suddenly grabbed her sword again, and charged at him.
"Tch! You don't know what's good for you." The Zixia Sect disciple saw that she was already severely injured yet still wanted to fight him to the death. He easily dodged her sword strike, then kicked her in the abdomen. This kick was very heavy.
The female disciple spat out a large mouthful of blood and was sent flying back like a cannonball, crashing into a large tree. She could no longer stand.
Ye Liuyun just stood there dumbly, at a loss for what to do.
Naturally, the Zixia Sect disciple also saw Ye Liuyun standing nearby. Seeing that she was not a Yunxia Sect disciple, he turned and left.
Watching him leave, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but swallow. After all, this was her first time participating in a battle between two sects. A battle like this was not like a spar within the sect; people could actually die.
"Damn! That scared me," Ye Liuyun cursed under her breath.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her flustered emotions, then glanced at the fallen senior sister.
"Hey, Master, there are no other Zixia Sect disciples around, right?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"No. But, you can be scared too, kid? I saw your heart jump into your throat just now," Lin Qingyou teased.
"Anyone would be scared the first time they encounter something like this, alright?" Ye Liuyun replied, rolling her eyes.
Her fear wasn't a fear of death, but an instinctive fear of combat. It was like someone who had never been in a fight suddenly getting punched. Most people would be scared stiff at first.
But after taking a punch, it would get much better. At least in the future, she wouldn't just stand there in a daze.
After confirming that there was no one else around, Ye Liuyun immediately went to the injured senior sister. But when she saw her condition, her face turned ugly.
The female cultivator was coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, and her breathing was extremely weak. She basically only had one breath left.
"Don't just stand there. If you want to save her, hurry up and give her a Rebirth Pill. Otherwise, she's going to die soon." Lin Qingyou could tell with just a glance that the female cultivator didn't have long to live.
"Huh? Oh." Hearing this, Ye Liuyun fumbled to take out the Rebirth Pill from her pouch.
She then stuffed the pill into the female cultivator's mouth, but the woman kept spitting up blood, and the pill was immediately coughed out.
"Senior Sister, hurry and swallow the pill! Swallow it, and you'll be fine!" Ye Liuyun shouted anxiously.
