It seemed that nothing much was happening next, and everything appeared to be so simple. Perhaps the earlier Sword Fang had already shaken the Surroundings with its reputation!
Li Rui also found it strange. Was the Mad Old Man really that powerful? It shouldn't be that impressive! Little did they know that in the next moment, Li Rui couldn't help but think of another question.
The Mad Old Man was an Alchemist! Regardless of his actual strength, just the identity of being an Alchemist was already enough.
After traveling for quite a distance, with all the bumps along the way, Li Rui vaguely felt that the person in the sedan chair must not be very comfortable.
Little did they know that upon entering, he found that the two beauties had already fallen asleep. It seemed that continuing their journey tonight would be a bit troublesome! The darkness had already set in, and traveling at night wasn't very safe.
It might be better to rest for a while before moving again!
"I think so too. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden one! I agree with this choice," Sword Fang said repeatedly.
Then, Li Rui and the others rested in place. The dry leaves in the Surroundings were sufficient, and the environment was concealed; resting here was indeed a good choice!
In the next moment, Li Rui waved his hand, and a flame rose up. Little did they know that in the blink of an eye, the dry leaves were already ignited.
"It seems you taught him well, Madman! You are actually an Alchemist."
Li Rui awkwardly nodded. However, he was only a Third-Rank Alchemist. It seemed that since that time with Danhui, he hadn't practiced alchemy again, and he didn't know if his skills would...
Coincidentally, Li Rui discovered a Herb in the Surroundings, repeatedly pulling it into his hands and casually digging a hole.
Seeing Li Rui like this, Sword Fang didn't know what he was up to and merely observed in the Surroundings.
Little did they know that in the next moment, a loud "boom" echoed through the air. Wasn't this a sign of an explosion?
"It's over, it's over, the Alchemy skills have declined," Li Rui murmured.
Inside the palanquin, Sakura Petal and Mo Ruxi seemed to hear him and came out to check, laughing at Li Rui's appearance.
His face was covered in black and gray, making the scene quite comical.
"I'm really sorry for waking you up!"
"It's fine, we were all asleep anyway. We just came out to see you! What should we call you, uncle?" Mo Ruxi said repeatedly.
When the latter saw Mo Ruxi, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was quite wary of her.
"Just call me Sword Elder!"
However, they continued to watch Li Rui's Alchemy. Little did they know that in the blink of an eye, Li Rui had completed a low-grade third-tier Elixir!
But it still couldn't compare to before. Li Rui began to realize that his Alchemy abilities had declined, and he needed to practice more in the future; otherwise...
As this Alchemy success came to a close, the night watch was set to rotate.
Li Rui was the one keeping watch during the first half of the night. By the time he reached the Cleansing Realm, he had already gotten used to not sleeping.
Or rather, once he reached a certain level, he could absorb the Qi of the earth and the essence of the sun and moon to address his own sustenance needs.
It seemed that everyone else had reached that point as well.
"How could I forget you? I'm sorry!"
With that sound, Sword Fang finally noticed Li Rui's fearful expression towards Sakura Petal, and for some reason, he felt a special sense of familiarity.
This...
"Is your name Sakura Petal?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"I remember that Madman’s niece is named Sakura Petal, right?"
Sakura Petal nodded repeatedly, knowing that her uncle served as the Grand Elder in Tai Xuan Sect. The way the person in front of her referred to him as either "Mad Old Man" or "Madman" indeed sounded quite peculiar.
Li Rui smiled awkwardly, seemingly aware of the issue.
After a brief rest, they realized it was already dawn.
"Let's pick up the pace! We should be able to reach Tai Xuan Sect by noon!"
Li Rui looked in the direction and assessed the distance; it seemed there would be no problem.
If he could travel quickly, he wouldn't have to worry too much about anyone else. He could make it there in at most two hours.
Then the group set off again, but after just a few steps, Li Rui couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"The surroundings seem strangely quiet! Not even a whisper of wind?"
Sword Fang nodded in agreement; it did seem that way. They couldn't tell what was going on ahead; it felt like there might be an ambush waiting for them.
"Who cares! The boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge. Besides, who dares to show off in front of me? Even if they had eight hundred guts, it wouldn't be enough!" Sword Fang raised his chin high, as if showcasing his abilities.
Li Rui smiled awkwardly; it seemed that Sword Fang was going to take the lead!
As Li Rui and the others followed Sword Fang, everything appeared so calm.
Then came a series of "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds.
They were coming towards Li Rui's direction.
Li Rui couldn't help but furrow his brows, and the Water Fire Staff behind him was already drawn.
Sword Fang had already unsheathed his sword, and with a hissing sound, three trees had fallen down.
Moreover, the bodies of those standing behind the trees were split in half. The scene was truly bloody, and three flying arrows suddenly snapped in two and fell to the ground.
Li Rui couldn't help but be astonished by this action; this swordsmanship was surprisingly entertaining.
If it weren't for Li Rui practicing staff techniques, he would have wanted to take this person as his Master right now.
Suddenly! It seemed that someone hiding in the shadows sensed something was wrong and tried to leave, but little did they know their body had unknowingly frozen in place. This...
"Could this be the 'Sword Formation'?" Li Rui was already shaken by the earlier shock. In his lifetime, he had seen only a handful of strong individuals, and this person's sword technique had clearly exceeded his understanding.
"What a bunch of useless scum! Why resort to such despicable methods? I wanted to keep one alive, but I ended up being too heavy-handed," Sword Fang murmured.
Meanwhile, Li Rui was secretly cursing this guy for boasting without any hesitation; why did he have to be so direct?
As they walked, the sun had already risen, and it wouldn't be long before it was noon. Once they crossed this mountain, they would reach the Tai Xuan Sect.
Li Rui and the others couldn't help but show a hint of victorious joy; after such a long journey, they had finally arrived!
"Who goes there?"
"Li Rui."
With this response, the guards respectfully bowed to the person who spoke and then allowed them to pass!
The Mad Old Man seemed to sense that some powerful individuals were entering the Tai Xuan Sect. He crawled out in a hurry and, upon seeing them, exclaimed, "Isn't that Sword Fang?"
The Mad Old Man completely ignored Li Rui's presence and left with Sword Fang, as if he had something on his mind that he wanted to say. The scene was quite...
