Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge left the teleportation array. Not long after they walked, they suddenly felt someone secretly following them. Moreover, these people didn't even bother to hide themselves, acting with blatant disregard.
Su Xi felt someone following her from behind, but remained outwardly calm, and began to quietly move towards the shadows.
Since the other party wanted to make a move, she would give them the opportunity.
It would be easier for them to make a move when there were fewer people.
With so many people watching, the people behind would definitely not make a move. Therefore, a quiet place was needed to give them the opportunity to act.
This was their chance, and it was also her chance to ask questions.
Arriving at a sparsely populated area, Su Xi stopped.
Su Xi looked back at a certain corner, a faint smile on her face, "You've been following for so long, isn't it time to come out now? If you keep following, we might be late for dinner."
As soon as Su Xi finished speaking, a man emerged from the darkness.
The man was dressed in black, and looking at Su Xi, he had a faint smile.
Although he didn't know how Su Xi had discovered him, since she had, it was no longer important to him.
Even if Su Xi had discovered him, there was nothing she could do.
Under their siege, no one could escape.
Looking at the person in front of her, Su Xi frowned.
She didn't recognize the person in front of her at all. Why were they following her?
"Why are you following me? We shouldn't know each other, right?" Su Xi looked at the man and asked what was on her mind.
Wu Xia looked at Su Xi, touched his nose, and said with a smile, "I am following you now with the purpose of taking your life. Whether you recognize me or not is completely unimportant."
Su Xi suddenly burst into laughter upon hearing Wu Xia's arrogant words, almost unable to stand upright.
In all her life, she had never encountered such a strange situation.
Someone of similar cultivation to her wanted to kill her, and even spoke so much nonsense.
"Since you're not willing to communicate properly, then don't blame me for turning ruthless." Su Xi smiled, then suddenly attacked.
Su Xi looked at Wu Xia at this moment, knowing that if she spoke nicely, he wouldn't believe her and would continue to mock her.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to subdue him, and then he would speak properly.
If these people wanted to come looking for trouble with her, they must have some ulterior motive. She had to find out who was behind them.
Wu Xia watched Su Xi charge towards him, not worried at all. Instead, he had a hint of disdain.
As a guard of the Yu family, his strength was not merely for show. He hadn't gotten to where he was through empty boasts.
He could become a guard captain at the Nascent Soul stage relying on his own abilities. Although Su Xi's strength was not simple, she was no match for him.
With a flick of his finger, Su Xi would surely be the one to lose in the end.
To quickly end the fight and go back to sleep, he took out a pair of golden scissors and threw them into the sky.
As he made his move, the golden scissors instantly transformed into two golden Flood Dragons.
These two golden Flood Dragons bared their fangs and claws, exuding immense pressure, and charged towards Su Xi.
The two Flood Dragons tumbled in the air, emitting a series of explosive sounds, and their immense pressure caused everything around them to shake.
As these explosive sounds rang out, Su Xi saw the ground beneath her feet begin to churn violently, and all the bricks turned into dust.
Su Xi's body lost its support and sank directly into the ground.
With most of her body in the ground, Su Xi's movements instantly became restricted. Even moving a finger became extremely difficult.
"This is quite interesting." Although Su Xi was shocked, she did not panic. For her, there was no lack of solutions.
Su Xi brandished the fire-poking stick in her hand and struck out at everything around her.
"Crack!"
As the fire-poking stick was unleashed, a series of frost instantly appeared on the ground.
The softened ground was instantly covered with ice, giving Su Xi the support she needed to regain her footing and prevent her from sinking further into the earth.
Feeling her strength restored, Su Xi did not hesitate and swung the Meteor God Sword in her hand towards the giant dragons.
"Buzz~"
Following a strong fluctuation, a fire dragon shot out towards the two incoming golden dragons.
"Bang!"
The collision of the two emitted a deafening sound.
At the same time, a powerful energy surge caused the ice beneath Su Xi's feet to shatter inch by inch, and her clothes began to show signs of tearing.
It should be noted that her clothes were made of special materials, not only keeping her warm in winter and cool in summer, but also providing protection. The fact that they were tearing under the impact clearly indicated how powerful the impact was.
Su Xi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at Wu Xia, and praised, "Very good, it seems your strength has truly exceeded my expectations."
She now understood why Wu Xia had the confidence to follow her, and why he had done so so carelessly.
With such strength, he naturally didn't need to be too cautious.
However, facing such a formidable opponent, Su Xi did not feel too worried. Wu Xia was powerful, but that didn't mean he was invincible.
Su Xi waved her hand and directly activated her sword formation.
She could no longer hold back against Wu Xia; she had to use her most powerful moves to have a chance of winning.
Wu Xia was also somewhat surprised looking at Su Xi.
His golden scissors contained the essence of Flood Dragons and had a metallic aura, making them extremely sharp. Others could not withstand even being brushed by their aura. Yet, Su Xi's casual move had managed to neutralize them.
Therefore, Su Xi's strength was definitely not as simple as it appeared.
No wonder Su Xi's bounty was so high; it was indeed not without reason.
This time, he had truly encountered a tough opponent.
Su Xi soared into the air, a golden brush appearing out of nowhere in her hand. Black mist began to gather towards her hand.
"Soul Ferry!"
Su Xi exclaimed, and dark clouds suddenly gathered above her head, the surrounding oppressive feeling intensifying.
Just as Wu Xia was about to ask what Su Xi was doing, he suddenly felt as if he were being crushed by countless mountains, rendering him unable to move.
Simultaneously, black mist began to flow from his body towards Su Xi's hand.
"Ah!"
A sensation a million times more painful than peeling skin and flesh instantly invaded his mind.
"What are you doing?"
Wu Xia asked in extreme fear.
He truly hadn't expected Su Xi to possess such a terrifying ability, one that left him with no capacity for defense, forcing him to watch helplessly as the soul within his body was slowly stripped away.
He had never seen or even heard of such a bizarre technique before.
"No."
Wu Xia knew he couldn't escape such a peculiar attack, his face filled with terror.
She never imagined that she could feel her soul being drawn out so clearly, yet be unable to react in any way.
This feeling of impending death was simply unbelievable to him.
Seeing this, Su Xi's actions accelerated, giving Wu Xia no chance to recover.
She still needed to obtain the information she desired from Wu Xia's body, so naturally, there could be no delay. Only with speed could she achieve her goal.
"Please spare me," Wu Xia knelt on the ground, begging Su Xi for mercy.
But Su Xi did not hesitate, increasing the output of her spiritual power once more.
"Ah~~~"
With a scream, Wu Xia's soul was instantly ripped out.
Following that, Wu Xia's soul fell into Su Xi's hand.
Wu Xia's soul still struggled, but Su Xi had already made her move and would not let him escape.
"Search!"
Su Xi directly employed the supercomputer's soul-searching ability, beginning to extract the information she desired from Wu Xia's soul.
Once she obtained the desired information, Su Xi destroyed Wu Xia's soul.
Having done all this, Su Xi left without delay.
She hadn't expected to be targeted so quickly, and now she had to be cautious.
The Yu family had managed to track her down so quickly; they were indeed extraordinary. At this time, the Yu family shouldn't have found her so soon.
Now that the Yu family had begun to probe her, they would surely be unable to resist making a move.
She was currently insignificant and powerless; once discovered, she would be utterly destroyed.
Therefore, to prevent the Yu family from acting too soon, she had to strike first, before they could react, and completely annihilate them.
After dealing with Wu Xia, Su Xi did not forget to salvage his belongings.
After all, to be a captain in the Yu family was not just an acknowledgment of his strength, but also implied access to resources that ordinary people could not attain.
Opening Wu Xia's storage bag, Su Xi felt that poverty had truly limited her imagination.
Within Wu Xia's bag, there was a Breakthrough Pill.
A Breakthrough Pill was an elixir that had reached the Heavenly tier. One pill was enough to help someone advance directly from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spirit Transformation stage, increasing their chances of promotion.
Su Xi was in dire need of increased strength, so naturally, she would not miss such an opportunity.
Although taking a Breakthrough Pill might have some side effects, it could be eliminated by taking it with a Clarity Pill.
Therefore, the most pressing matter was to refine the Clarity Pill as soon as possible. Once these pills were taken, her strength would increase even faster.
The ingredients for refining a Clarity Pill were quite complex, and Su Xi alone could not find all the raw materials in a short time.
However, now that she had others to help, she certainly wouldn't push herself too hard.
With the help of others, it would save her a lot of trouble. Moreover, having been threatened by the old man and made to do so many things, she certainly deserved some reward.
Upon seeing all this, Su Xi immediately sent a letter back to the Ministry of War.
The old man needed Su Xi's help at this very moment, so when Su Xi proposed a not-too-demanding request, he naturally did not refuse.
As a department with considerable benefits, providing such a small item was not a problem.
As long as he could get what he wanted, he would satisfy any request Su Xi made.
Su Xi obtained what she desired and did not hesitate, turning to walk towards the supercomputer.
The sooner she obtained what she needed, the sooner she could gain strength.
