Chapter 260 She is exhausted
A beam of dark red light shot up into the sky, illuminating the dark clouds in the dark night. In just a breath, the originally bright and clear moon instantly turned light red. As the dark red light became more dazzling, the color of the blood moon became deeper.
"What's going on?!" Su Yanqing followed Jiang Liqian's gaze and was so shocked that he was almost speechless.
City Lord Zhao barely managed to stand after just one glance. Without even a word of greeting, he vanished in an instant, charging towards Shuiwan City.
Yun Ruyi just glanced at the red light above Shuiwan City, and then turned her gaze to Jiang Liqian who broke into the cave. She pressed one hand tightly on the sword, waiting for the monster to attack, and then she would fly over to help.
"What forbidden technique did you use!" Jiang Liqian strode towards the woman with a serious expression. Her tone was no longer as polite as before. A fierce aura emanated from her body, which made people shudder.
Seeing her coming aggressively, Zhao Yue quickly grabbed the woman and stood in front of her.
"Master Jiang, please calm down first. Aunt Shanshan..."
A ray of light from the formation suddenly rose from under the woman's feet, enveloping her completely.
Jiang Liqian looked at her coldly. "You left your Chuxin Grass in Shuiwan City. You captured the children and brought them to your cave, deliberately making us think that this was where you would perform the forbidden technique. But in fact, it was Shuiwan City where the Chuxin Grass was lost. You waited for us so calmly because you knew that we would find you sooner or later. You used yourself as bait to buy time and ensure the execution of the forbidden technique. Am I right?"
Although the woman was surrounded by the formation, there was no sign of panic on her face.
Just as Jiang Liqian said, she used herself as bait. Now that the forbidden technique has been successfully activated, she has nothing to worry about or be afraid of.
She was going to die anyway, but her child would live, and she was content.
After so many years of working so hard and living in constant fear, she was exhausted.
Now, it's time for her to be free.
"Jiang..." She pondered and called out her name, "Li Qian, your name is so beautiful. You must be the child that mother dotes on very much, right?"
Jiang Liqian was stunned, and countless chaotic emotions flashed through her eyes. Finally, she nodded.
The woman lowered her eyes and smiled: "In that case, you should understand the determination a mother will make for her child."
The implication was that she would not tell her what forbidden technique she used.
She was determined to die.
Jiang Liqian raised her eyes and looked at the crimson water moon of Shuiwan City. Her lips moved, but she said nothing else. She quickly formed seals with her hands, and countless purple lightning bolts tightly wrapped around the woman like vines.
The woman whimpered in pain, then bit her lower lip hard, drawing blood, and refused to make another sound.
Zhao Yue was originally afraid that women would be harmed. Seeing Aunt Shanshan being tortured like this, his eyes immediately turned red and he punched Jiang Liqian in the face with a fierce fist, intending to force her to stop.
However, Jiang Liqian didn't even blink. A snow-white spiritual sword was placed between Zhao Yue and her. The huge spiritual power suddenly burst out, forcing Zhao Yue back out of the cave.
"How dare you fight with the disciples of Qiankun Sect? You deserve to be killed!" Yun Ruyi, dressed in white, stood in front of Jiang Liqian with frosty eyes.
Zhao Yue gritted his teeth. He couldn't do anything now. He had already let down the people of Shuiwan City, and his best friend's mother must not be hurt under his nose again.
He has already let his friend down once, and he can't be too embarrassed to see him after his death!
"If you want to fight, then fight. I don't care who you are!" He burst out with all the spiritual power in his body and rushed towards Yun Ruyi.
Yun Ruyi was not afraid at all. She raised her cold sword and fought with him.
Su Yanqing, who was in a daze at this moment, finally came to his senses, staggered into the cave, and anxiously asked Jiang Liqian what to do.
Once the forbidden technique is completed, those children will truly become sacrifices, their souls will be scattered, and they will not even have the chance to reincarnate in the next life.
Jiang Liqian was also feeling uneasy. The forbidden technique had already been activated. She, along with the cultivation levels of Su Yanqing, Yun Ruyi, and her fellow disciples, were simply not enough to block the forbidden technique. Only a cultivator who had reached the Divine Transformation stage like City Lord Zhao could give it a try.
City Lord Zhao has already rushed over, but even so, no one is completely sure.
The woman refused to reveal what forbidden technique she had used, so the only thing she could do now was to try to cut off the woman's connection with the forbidden technique.
Generally speaking, for a forbidden technique like this that causes a bloody disaster, the practitioner will become the first sacrifice of the forbidden technique formation. After the forbidden technique is completed, she will be the first to be punished by heaven and earth.
But what if the forbidden spell formation couldn't sense the sacrificial person's aura? Then the forbidden spell's contract would be flawed, or even ineffective, increasing the likelihood that City Lord Zhao would destroy the forbidden spell.
"Stop Zhao Yue's reckless actions. I can't be distracted, and I can't interrupt the formation. Don't let him in and destroy it." Jiang Liqian quickly formed seals with both hands, while pouring a large amount of spiritual power into the formation to maximize its power. At the same time, he quickly absorbed the thunder spiritual power around him to fill the spiritual power gap in his dantian.
As she absorbed and output spiritual energy in such a vigorous manner, Jiang Liqian only felt the pain in her tendons and veins, and the pain came one after another, but she could not stop and had to hold on.
Her master had said that with her current abilities, using a formation across levels would likely cause backlash. She didn't know if the pain in her tendons and veins counted as backlash, but once the formation was broken, she would definitely not be able to cast this mid-level formation again.
Although Su Yanqing usually looks unreliable, he is not vague when it comes to major issues. Without saying a word, he took out his self-defense magic weapon and guarded the cave entrance firmly.
Zhao Yue's cultivation has reached the early stage of Golden Core. Yun Ruyi's cultivation is the same as his, but Zhao Yue is a physical cultivator. His body is much stronger than Yun Ruyi's. One of his punches is so powerful that it can directly smash a row of large trees.
Yun Ruyi was light and skillful, and her swordsmanship was smooth and sharp, but she could only barely entangle him. She would never withstand his attack head-on unless it was absolutely necessary.
The fact that Zhao Yue is regarded by City Lord Zhao as the next successor to the City Lordship shows that he has real skills. Although he is recognized by the world of cultivation as the most difficult and tiring path of physical cultivation, his basic skills are really solid. He can maximize one point of strength to five points, or even more. If he did not have these messy past events, he might become a master of physical cultivation in the future.
He knew that his agility was no match for Yun Ruyi, so he simply increased his speed and threw a punch, but in fact he threw ten punches. Countless punch shadows forced Yun Ruyi to retreat again and again, almost blocking all her retreat routes.
"boom!"
