Chapter 343 Xue Lan 1 Always Cherishes Her Life
There was no moon that night; the darkness was deep, and the few stars were obscured by the dark clouds in the sky, appearing sparse and dim.
In the center of the solemn golden array, Lin Shuang looked at the two people who suddenly appeared behind Xue Lan.
A handsome man dressed in a light blue robe appeared calm and composed, like a graceful bamboo shoot. He held a fan in his hand, exuding a carefree and elegant air.
A vibrant woman in a long red dress, her eyes seemingly able to see through people's hearts, were like the moon hidden in the sky tonight.
Lin Shuang's gaze fell once again on Xue Lan, who was at the very front:
"You're planning to fight me with just a mid-Golden Core cultivator and two early-Nascent Soul cultivators?"
She possessed profound cultivation, had received intensive training from her family since childhood, and had a rare, top-grade wind spirit root. Although she didn't look down on the woman before her, she still didn't quite understand her.
Upon hearing Lin Shuang's question, Xue Lan glanced at Yan Chengxue and then at Wu Yijun, before nodding firmly at her:
"The other powerful fellow disciples have all gone to the desolate battlefield. It's really pathetic for the two of them to deal with the girl."
After saying that scornful remark, Xue Lan felt a chill run down her spine.
Lin Shuang remained silent, but Lin Xunfan behind her couldn't hold back any longer. The young man stared intently at Xue Lan.
Lin Shuang didn't speak; he didn't dare to open his mouth. He just stared intently at Xue Lan.
Xue Tong, who was hiding in the shadows with Lin Su and Lu Feng, couldn't help but speak up:
"Does he hate you that much?"
Xue Lan's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "Try to understand the child. I used karma and soul magic to keep him in check before, and it's already a miracle that he hasn't gone crazy yet."
Xue Tong commented in a veiled way: "You're so vicious!"
"The two of them were you referring to just now, young lady?" Lin Shuang smiled gently, the lotus hand seal she held slowly fading until it disappeared completely.
Xue Lan nodded and slowly stepped back to protect Wu Yijun and the other person in front of her.
She wasn't very tall, and with the two people in front of her blocking her view, she couldn't see anything at all, only hearing sounds that were getting farther and farther away:
"Xue Lan always cherishes his life. I wish you a pleasant time, fellow Daoist. Farewell."
"That won't do. I'm here to see Miss Xue. It would be pointless to let you leave now."
After saying this, Lin Shuang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a blue-green light shot out from the woman's fingertips, flying like an arrow towards the back of Wu Yijun and the other person.
"Fellow Daoist, you still won't let me go!" Xue Lan's feet moved in the Void Stepping technique, and his whole body turned into a wisp of afterimage, which was particularly blurry in the dark night. However, the blue light kept biting at Xue Lan.
"You can handle it yourself, right?" Yan Chengxue looked at Lin Shuang in front of her, her eyes full of eagerness.
Then the two heard Xue Lan's voice, which was tinged with laughter: "From childhood to adulthood, I have never made a mistake when it comes to running."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yijun and Yan Chengxue were both relieved.
Lin Shuang knew a great battle was imminent, and the woman transmitted her voice to Lin Xunfan behind her:
"Xun Fan, grab her."
Lin Xunfan nodded slightly, then transformed into a beam of light and flew in the direction Xue Lan had left.
Just as Yan Chengxue was about to stop her, Xue Lan's relaxed and carefree voice reached her ears;
"It's okay, put him here. I'll play with him for a bit."
"Okay, be careful."
Yan Chengxue waved her hand to let Lin Xunfan go, and turned to deal with Lin Shuang in front of her.
The young man closed his fan, revealing a small battle flag in his hand.
It was an exquisitely crafted little flag, with runes embroidered on its black surface using moon silk, resembling a pale silver moonlight.
The young man turned his head slightly, exchanged a glance with Wu Yijun beside him, and then disappeared from Lin Shuang's sight at the same time.
The instant the two disappeared, Lin Shuang saw the surrounding array begin to change constantly. All the array flags that were originally hidden in the darkness appeared and began to move rapidly around Lin Shuang in the center.
In an instant, the killing intent rose from the great formation that had just been encircling them, and sharp, sword-like movements were aimed directly at Lin Shuang.
The woman trapped in the center of the formation lowered her eyes, her lotus-colored robes fluttering without wind amidst the dense killing intent around her, like a graceful lotus flower, or a hermit immortal.
"She really is a formation cultivator." Lin Shuang spoke softly, and with a flick of her hand, a bluish-green breeze appeared in her hand, coiling around the woman's fingertips like a nimble green snake.
"Sending only one array cultivator to deal with me, isn't that a bit too arrogant!"
The wisp of wind in the woman's hand suddenly dispersed, sending incredibly sharp wind blades flying in all directions, stirring up a swirling gale. It swept up all the killing intent around them, forming a giant python of wind behind the man.
Yan Chengxue, who was manipulating the formation, emerged from her hiding place. The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone tinged with impatience:
"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed a prodigy of the Upper Realm, possessing the ability to create heaven and earth, but you cannot discriminate against array cultivators so casually!"
The young man waved the small flag in his hand a few times with a fancy gesture, and then disappeared into the formation again like a fluttering butterfly.
At the same time, the array flags within the formation changed again, and the killing intent within slowly dissipated. Several chains made of spiritual energy appeared out of thin air and instantly wrapped around the neck of the giant snake behind Lin Shuang, pulling it directly to the ground.
As the giant snake's head hit the ground, several array flags that had been hidden around Lin Shuang suddenly appeared, forming a small lightning array at the woman's feet.
"thunderbolt."
Hundreds and thousands of deep blue lightning bolts, like constantly wandering little dragons, poured down from above Lin Shuang's head, giving him a sudden shock.
The clash between the two sides happened in an instant. After the heavenly lightning disappeared, Yan Chengxue saw that Lin Shuang, who was under the full protection of the giant snake, still had a calm expression, and even a hint of interest appeared in her calm eyes.
Yan Chengxue transmitted her voice to Wu Yijun:
"Jun Jun, this person is mentally ill just like Xue Lan. It's up to you now."
The young man was about to run away as soon as he finished speaking, but Lin Shuang, who had just been struck by Yan Chengxue's thunderbolt, clearly did not want to let him go.
Before Yan Chengxue could escape, the large, bluish-green snake had already reached her and opened its mouth towards her head.
"hiss!"
A hoarse roar entered Yan Chengxue's mind. The young man made a decisive move and slashed open a small array behind him with his sleeve.
"Wow!"
After a series of ear-piercing shattering sounds, Yan Chengxue retreated dozens of meters to the side, her mind filled only with the fear she had felt when the giant snake forcefully bit through the formation.
The young man's palms were sweaty, but he still wore a casual smile.
"Fellow Daoist is the most vicious cultivator I have ever seen."
Lin Shuang found this person quite interesting. The woman summoned the large blue snake back to her side and looked at Yan Chengxue with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist is quite interesting. For me, receiving a heavenly thunderbolt is considered gentlemanly, while for me, reciprocating is considered malicious."
Yan Chengxue chuckled upon hearing this, and waved the small array flag in her hand once more:
“Cultivating arrays is truly arduous, and I've always valued my life. Since you don't intend to let me go, I have no choice but to…”
"I'd rather die than see my fellow Daoist die!"
