Not only did the Level 5 cultivator encounter this, but those few unfamiliar faces as well, especially the Level 7 one, whose situation was particularly severe. Suddenly, tiny mushrooms sprouted from his seven orifices, and he crushed them in one swipe, looked down, and saw his hands covered in fresh blood. He quickly realized what happened and bellowed, "How dare this bitch poison me!"
While speaking, he leaped up and charged toward Hua Ci.
Boom...
Lu Ye stepped off the back of an eagle, flipped mid-air, and positioned himself in front of Hua Ci and Ruan Lingyu, his long saber unsheathed and slashing horizontally.
A blaze of red spirit light ripped through the air, sparking a shower of flames, and the immense force sent the Level 7 reeling back. Lu Ye too stepped back but quickly stabilized himself, stomping on the floor of the bamboo tower as he ferociously pounced forward.
