Chapter 41: Slaying the Dragons
Although they were reluctant to leave, staying any longer could endanger Yan Zhen. They didn’t want to risk losing him again, like in their previous life.
After two more peaceful days, his injuries had fully healed, and their cultivation had returned to its peak.
They had only spent five days in the cave, half the time compared to their previous life. Jiu Youyue felt a twinge of regret, thinking she would have to make up for it later.
Yun Xiu, however, was content. These five days had been more fulfilling than the ten days in their past life.
After breakfast, he packed up the tent and the cauldron, smiling.
“Let’s go.”
They nodded, following him out of the cave, landing gracefully on the churning water below the waterfall, then stepping onto the riverbank.
They turned, looking at the hidden cave behind the waterfall, a sense of nostalgia washing over them.
Jiu Youyue suddenly formed a hand seal, sending a pulse of energy towards the cave.
The energy passed through the waterfall, entering the cave.
The rocks around the entrance began to grow, slowly sealing the cave.
“That should do it.” She clapped her hands. “We’ll come back and visit someday.”
Yun Xiu smiled knowingly. She had also planned to secretly return and seal the cave, preserving it as a memento.
After Cloud Heaven Palace’s destruction in her previous life, she and Huangfu Wenqing had lived here for a while, developing an attachment to this place.
He scratched his head.
“…I’ll leave it to you two now.”
“It might be a bit dangerous. Be careful, Chen Zhen.”
“You can hide behind me, Little Zhenzhen~”
He made an OK sign.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
He stood slightly behind them, watching as their Mystic Power surged, their bodies rising into the air, a green and a white light blooming above them.
Their Mystic Lord auras swept outwards, alerting the Mystic Beasts within a ten-mile radius, who then began converging on their location.
— Since the Mystic Beasts were already searching for them, all they had to do was release their auras, and the beasts would come to them, including the two dragons.
He had initially disagreed with this plan. It was too dangerous. The two dragons were both Tier 6, Mystic Lord realm, and there were also numerous Tier 3, 4, and 5 Mystic Beasts. Even if they were just cannon fodder, dealing with them would still be troublesome.
But the two women were confident. They weren’t just ordinary Mystic Lords. In their previous lives, Jiu Youyue had been a Six Cycle Half-Saint, while Yun Xiu, through a fortunate encounter, had become a One Star Mystic Saint. Even though they didn’t possess that level of cultivation now, their knowledge and experience were still far superior to their peers.
“…Roar!”
A beast’s roar echoed through the forest, the ground trembling as countless Mystic Beasts emerged from all directions, surrounding them from a distance of about a hundred meters.
His Spiritual Perception, extending outwards, saw the massive horde, a cold sweat breaking out.
He had actually lured these beasts away alone in the script, for his “first love.” He was truly courageous—was that the power of love?
“Step back, Chen Zhen.”
Yun Xiu retrieved her sword from her storage ring. Its translucent blade, inscribed with profound runes, emanated the aura of a Tier 6 Mystic Tool.
Channeling her Mystic Power into the sword, she unleashed an attack beyond her current realm.
“Mystic Sovereign Skill: Thousand Wind Obliteration Sword!”
A massive wind array unfolded behind her, countless wind blades shooting outwards.
Each blade pierced a Mystic Beast’s head. Except for a few Tier 5 beasts, all the Tier 3 and Tier 4 beasts were killed instantly.
Jiu Youyue also drew her steel-blue sword, her fingers caressing the blade, awakening its power, then raised it high, summoning a bright, azure moon in the sky.
“Mystic Sovereign Skill: Frost Moon Descent!”
The moon descended like a rolling boulder, crashing into the horde below.
Its cold light froze the beasts, its massive form crushing them into dust.
The moon exploded, a wave of Yin Mystic Power spreading outwards, freezing the entire forest.
Their two attacks eliminated most of the surrounding Mystic Beasts. Even those who had lost their sense of self instinctively felt fear.
This was their true strength!
Their current auras were completely different from their demeanor in the cave, domineering and noble, inspiring awe!
Then, two piercing dragon roars echoed through the sky. Two massive winged dragons emerged from the clouds, diving towards them.
The remaining Mystic Beasts, as if receiving an order, fearlessly charged towards the two women in the air.
Ignoring the weaker beasts, they dodged the Tier 5 beasts’ attacks, confronting the two dragons.
Last time, they had been caught off guard, and Jiu Youyue had deliberately held back. That’s why they had been defeated.
This time was different.
Yun Xiu’s Mystic Power surged, transforming into a massive tornado that reached the sky, colliding with one of the dragons.
Jiu Youyue also charged forward, her azure moon crashing into the other dragon.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook the entire core region.
The sky darkened with storm clouds, a powerful wind whipping up, sending debris flying, uprooting trees.
— This is even more intense than last time! It’s getting my blood pumping!
He swallowed nervously, leaping out from behind the boulder, choosing a seemingly weaker Tier 3 Mystic Beast, and charged.
After all, this was a “leveling up and monster hunting” novel. When in doubt, either cultivate or fight monsters!
The Wind Rune, combined with Shadowstep and his Flowing Spring Boots, granted him speed beyond his realm, while his Extreme Flame Sword, formed from the Mystic Tool Embryo, gave him attack power beyond his realm.
Together, they allowed him to easily handle clumsy Tier 3 Mystic Beasts.
As the beasts fell, one after another, he imagined hearing the “Experience +1 +1 +1” notification, feeling himself growing stronger.
Then a Tier 4 Mystic Beast charged towards him, reminding him of the vast difference in their strength, and he fled.
…
As he ran, the aerial battle was also nearing its end. The two women had completely dominated the dragons.
The once majestic dragons were now covered in wounds, their wings tattered and torn.
As flame slaves, devoid of self-preservation instincts, they continued their relentless assault.
Yun Xiu, no longer holding back, unleashed her self-created Mystic Venerable Skill, Extreme Wind Annihilation Sword, piercing both dragons’ massive bodies with a single strike.
Then Jiu Youyue, her sword like moonlight illuminating the earth, severed their heads.
With the dragons dead, the remaining Mystic Beasts, losing their leader, scattered in chaos.
The two women, ignoring them, saw Yan Zhen being chased by several beasts, desperately fleeing. They quickly descended.
