The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Conjuring soldiers from beans was among the spells of immortal cultivators. However, humanoid vines created without blood containing vital energy did not hold especially great combat powers. As such, the initial hundred over humanoid vines conjured by Ji Fengyan could not compare to the latter fifty ones.

Unfortunately, her inner core had yet to recover; Otherwise, she would not have to sacrifice so much blood. In addition, the combat powers of those humanoid vines would not have been so weak. If she had been at full health, just one drop of blood would be sufficient to conjure the humanoid vines.

It would not be like this present situation…

Zhou Bugui looked at Ji Fengyan’s wound and then at her pale face. His lips twitched as if he wanted to say something. However, the other youths couldn’t take it any longer and spoke up.

“Zhou Bugui, enough. What else do you want? We are only alive now thanks to Ji Fengyan. We are also the reason why she lost all that blood.”

Zhou Bugui blanched and laughed awkwardly.

“I didn’t mean it that way. Just that… I feel Ji Fengyan is really awesome. Able to conjure so many humanoid vines… I didn’t know she would be injured because of that…”

At that, Zhou Bugui gave a dry laugh and submissively retreated to the side without another word.

Noticing Ji Fengyan’s pallid face, the two members of the red team lit a bonfire and fetched her some water.

Ji Fengyan swallowed a few elixirs. Suddenly… she felt a strange feeling coming from behind. She instantly turned her head and looked toward the pitch-black forest. However, she was unable to see anything.

“What’s the matter?” One of the red team youths asked.

Ji Fengyan shook her head. This strange feeling was the same sensation she had felt that previous night.

It was as if something was staring at her, but she detected nothing when she turned around.

The burning fire dispelled the chilliness and the youths took the chance to rest. Before long, the sky had darkened and the temperature of the forest dropped to freezing point.

Snap…

The sound of a snapping branch pierced the surrounding silence. Everyone tensed as the hairs on the back of their necks stood straight up. They looked in unison toward the source of the sound.

Subsequently…

A bloody Liu Kai limped into their line of sight. He collapsed before them with a thud.

“Liu Kai!!” The two youths from the red team immediately rushed over to the injured Liu Kai. Their hands were drenched in his blood as they helped him.

Liu Kai’s injuries were very severe. His World-Termination-Armour had been shattered, revealing a major wound on his chest. Ghastly white bones were exposed among his torn flesh.

“What happened!” The youths were stunned. No one expected things to turn out like that.

Liu Kai’s World-Termination-Armour had actually been destroyed. Looking at the damage done, it must have been inflicted by at least a level five demon!

“There was… an ambush…” Liu Kai clutched at his friend’s sleeve with shaking hands. He vomited fresh blood even as he spoke.

The thick smell of blood permeated the scene, but it was Liu Kai’s words which amplified the anxiety levels of the group.

Ambush…

“Liu Kai, what happened?” The red team youth was in a right panic.

Liu Kai lifted a trembling hand and pointed a blood-stained finger at Ji Fengyan. “De… demon… azure ice giant… not… not dead…”
