After running for a long time, she abruptly stopped. Her domain activated, freezing the entire world in place…
Within those one or two seconds, a surge of immense Dao power erupted from her hand, blasting towards the arrow! Finally, it was shattered into dust…
The moment time resumed, the power fluctuations remained! The invisible Dao energy instantly spread outwards in a circular blast!
"Swish swish swish…"
The entire forest trembled violently at this moment, leaves rustling and falling…
After finishing, Jin Bao'er landed, then… turned and ran!
"What are you staring at? Waiting to be hunted down?"
The person who unleashed the arrow was no weaker than her. The commotion she just caused would surely be detected!
Gu Luoxian snapped back to reality, looking at the woman sprinting away with all her might. She slapped herself hard!
"Wait for me!!"
It wasn't that she was being overly surprised. As the chosen daughter of destiny in the ancient martial cultivation world, her talent was exceptionally high! She had always been the one to show off, leaving others stunned! But this time…
She had to admit! The other party's move just now was incredibly cool! Although she hadn't clearly seen what the woman did, her sharp intuition had detected a strange temporal fluctuation!!
This woman was truly beyond her expectations.
With both of them running with all their might, their figures soon disappeared.
A moment later, a group of men and women landed rapidly, their eyes scanning the surroundings! Their expressions were solemn and cautious.
"That power definitely came from here! But… where is the Soul-Chasing Arrow?"
"Such powerful energy! What kind of power is this?"
"It seems to be Dao energy! But the current cultivator is too weak to fully utilize it! If it were me, I could unleash even greater power!"
They chatted as they searched! Their faces filled with excitement and uncertainty!
Until a blonde man suddenly floated up, gently wiped a leaf, and a hint of coldness entered his outwardly affectionate and gentle eyes!
"Here!"
Hearing this, the eight people quickly looked up and flew over without a word! They looked at the empty tree branch and complained.
"Qing Shixiong, there's no need to joke around at a time like this, is there? Can't you see we're all struggling to find the Soul-Chasing Arrow?"
The man glared at him unhappily! A hint of jealousy in his eyes.
The blonde man didn't mind. The coldness in his eyes faded slightly! He smiled.
"I'm not lying, look… isn't this the powder from the Soul-Chasing Arrow?"
Upon hearing this, everyone froze for a full three seconds! When they realized he wasn't joking, their faces turned pale, and they began examining the powder on the leaves one by one…
"This… how is this possible?!"
"Who was it? This is the Soul-Chasing Arrow!"
"It's over, Elder Xing will definitely not let us off this time!"
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't taken it out, we wouldn't have shot the Soul-Chasing Arrow…"
"Now it's good! Sister Blue Lotus is gone, and there's no one to give us advice!"
"…"
They began to blame each other, while only the blonde man gazed deeply towards another part of the forest, a slight smile curving his lips.
"Dao energy…"
If Jin Bao'er were here, she would surely recognize the blonde man's identity!
He was one of the two men who accompanied Blue Lotus to the upper realm! The man who appeared gentle but was actually cold and heartless!
On the other side, Jin Bao'er led Gu Luoxian onward, finally emerging from the forest unknowingly…
Clearly, fate was still 'kind' to them!
The giant ice frog before them told them they could be even more unlucky!
Thus, after leaving the forest, an endless expanse of snowy plains appeared before them. The giant, snow-white ice frog stared with its large eyes at the uninvited guests, then…
"Pfft…"
A long tongue suddenly shot out, aimed directly at Jin Bao'er's cute little head! Clearly, the ice frog intended to feast before its hibernation!
Jin Bao'er snapped back to reality and leaped backward with all her might! The thin, long tongue followed closely, as if it preferred to catch her in mid-air! Gu Luoxian's face instantly changed color. Just as she turned to run, she was noticed by the ice frog…
So, one tongue, two figures, and one ice frog engaged in a chase on the thick ice…
Jin Bao'er suddenly unleashed a hand chop, splitting the ice frog's tongue in two! While the creature was in pain, she flew up and kicked the ice frog over, then grabbed Gu Luoxian's arm, and the two of them ascended into the air simultaneously!
Looking at the disheveled and pale-faced woman, she asked with confusion…
"You… are you this weak?"
Gu Luoxian, annoyed by her gaze, grumbled with a flushed face.
"Bullshit! You're weak! I just don't like slimy things… And who said my strength was great? My cultivation techniques are not primarily focused on attack!"
She glanced proudly at Jin Bao'er, then her gaze fell upon the half-severed frog tongue, and her expression froze…
She was afraid of that kind of thing!
Jin Bao'er didn't think much of it, not yet realizing what her so-called greatest strength was!
However, the next second, her entire body stiffened! Her face turned pale… she felt as if she had been poisoned, and began to plummet downwards!
Gu Luoxian quickly grabbed her and laughed wildly.
"No more bragging, huh? This ice frog is obviously poisonous! And you dared to chop its tongue with your hand… so brave!"
Jin Bao'er felt her vision darken, her ears buzzing. Hearing this, she immediately realized a problem!
"You… why are you fine?"
She had clearly seen the ice frog entangle Gu Luoxian, so why was she unaffected while she herself was poisoned?
Gu Luoxian dragged her while dodging the ice frog's continuous leaping attacks! She babbled incessantly.
"Because my ancient martial cultivation path primarily focuses on defense! Invulnerable to blades and spears, unaffected by water and fire, and resistant to potent poisons! Ah~ I just don't die! How about that? Impressive, ha ha!"
"If it weren't for my cultivation method, I would have been killed by my good sister long ago!"
Jin Bao'er's face was now completely green, and she was being swayed around by Gu Luoxian, her mind a muddle! Panting, her vision black, she quickly said,
"You… let me down first!"
Gu Luoxian flatly refused!
"No way, you saved me, so I have to save you too. How can I abandon a teammate at a time like this? Don't worry, sis isn't that kind of person!"
Jin Bao'er was going crazy! Leaving aside how uncomfortable it was to be choked by the back of her neck, if this poison wasn't cured soon, she would likely end up dead! And this damned woman still wouldn't let go! Her eyes rolled back, and she croaked hoarsely,
"Cough cough… you… poisonous frogs only attack moving creatures!"
Gu Luoxian paused, then suddenly released her hand…
"Plop!!"
The falling figure hit the ice surface with a bang, creating a gaping hole! Cold lake water rushed in from all directions. If it weren't for her innate ice element that made her immune to the cold, she would have frozen to death even if she hadn't been poisoned.
