Chapter 214: The Guy Who Refused to Save Her
The rascal corpse, who had disappeared for a full night, had finally returned.
Xin Lin, whose morale had hit rock-bottom, saw hope once again.
"In times of crisis on the jianghu, if you don’t help now, I’m as good as dead."
Xin Lin said hurriedly.
"It’s already dawn."
Who would have thought that Gui Hu’s next sentence would plunge Xin Lin’s spirits into the abyss once more.
After being confined within the Sealing Spirit Talisman, he was unable to use Ghost Power during the day.
"You wouldn’t leave me to die, would you? If it weren’t for you, why would I have come to Qin Mountain, to encounter that bloody monster?"
Xin Lin clenched his teeth in anger.
That egg was simply the root of all evil.
As for Gui Hu, that was the evil of evils.
"If you don’t jump now, you’ll be slapped into a meat patty by the Xuan Bird."
Gui Hu’s tone was still indifferent.
Damn you, Gui Hu. Such a height, to jump or not to jump, it’s barely the difference between being crippled or dead.
Taking a gamble, there is still a slight chance for survival. Xin Lin grit his teeth, let go, and like a kite with its string cut, plummeted sharply from the sky. In the moment she fell, the Xuan Bird dived swiftly, its wings slamming onto the nest, shattering half of it instantly into fragments.
As Xin Lin’s body rapidly fell, she suddenly arched in mid-air, like a tightly strung bow, her tiny body snapped back, miraculously finding leverage in the void.
Like an arrow, she flew from one tree to a large pine nearby.
Her arm grabbed accurately onto a branch, and with a slick slide, she rolled off the tree to the ground. Apart from a few superficial skin injuries, she perfectly evaded the attack of arrows and birds.
Inside the Sealing Spirit Talisman, Gui Hu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Xin Lin’s agility was truly astonishing.
The entire motion was as fluid as drifting clouds and flowing water; any slight mistake and she would have become a target for arrows.
Even Xin Lin herself secretly broke out in a cold sweat for her own close shave.
She only managed this because she had the body of a loli, coupled with the transformation from Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder, otherwise she would have died many times over just now.
The Ancient Forest had descended into complete chaos.
Birds in the sky followed the Xuan Bird’s command, launching one fierce attack after another onto the ground.
Heir Yang and the others, in pursuit of the Xuan Bird, shot arrows frantically.
By comparison, no one was paying any attention to Xin Lin’s actions.
The Sealing Spirit Talisman was lost, but luckily the Wind Breath Grass was already in hand. Logically, Xin Lin should quit while ahead.
However, Xin Lin clearly wasn’t planning to do so.
"Capture the Xuan Bird!"
A volley of arrows shot out, the Xuan Bird with a flap of its wings, deflected the arrows effortlessly.
At this level, the arrows were nothing more than a minor annoyance to the Xuan Bird.
It swept its gaze around, seeking the whereabouts of that "Cao Duozhi," but she was nowhere to be found.
Heir Yang’s archers didn’t cause much damage to the Xuan Bird, but it was a different story for the other birds, many of which were dead or injured, littering the ground with carcasses.
"Set up the formation, capture it for me."
Beside him, the sound of armor shattering could be heard.
Heir Yang knew that ordinary arrows couldn’t injure the Xuan Bird. At his command, the archers discarded their bows and arrows. True Qi inside their bodies condensed, burst forth, breaking through their armor, and transformed into strands of Qi ropes.
These strands of True Qi crisscrossed, forming a huge net that ensnared the Xuan Bird in it.
"Haha, damn brute, let’s see where you can escape to this time."
Heir Yang walked forward pridefully, holding the Sealing Spirit Talisman in his hand.
A raging inferno rose in the eyes of the Xuan Bird.
"Tsk, this Heir Yang is really going to become a ’persimmon’ this time."
From the shadows, Xin Lin witnessed this scene, and could barely stand to watch.
