I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 37: Walking Gracefully Between Life and Death (Please Read More)
Let’s talk about the mountains.

The demon danced in the wind, entangled with a ball of red clothes.

The saint had no weapons in her hands, but she could split mountains and rocks with just her fists and feet. With just a kick, she could send a giant spider flying back more than ten feet.

And relying on her superb physical skills, the mountain spider's attack could not touch her body at all, not even leaving a scratch.

The Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Sect is one of the top ten masters on the Earth Ranking. Her strength is completely overwhelming that of this mountain spider.

She thought it would only take a moment to resolve, but when she actually started, she found it was more difficult than she had expected.

She could indeed hurt the mountain spider, but every time the mountain spider was injured, it would absorb the mist around it. The surrounding white mist would wrap around its body like a living thing, making its body look like it was covered with countless cotton balls. Then, under the cover of white flying catkins, the injured part began to repair at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Spiritual energy is converging towards it. What's going on with the spiritual vein here? How could it actually recognize a demon as an earth spirit?"

The Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Cult tilted her head.

She naturally didn't know the origin of this Chouyun Mountain, but she quickly and keenly realized that she was wrestling with the same spiritual vein.

As long as the connection between this demon and the earth's spiritual veins is not cut off, the most direct way to kill it is to smash it into pieces with one move.

But at this time, the mountain spider also tasted the power of the enemy. It hid its body in the white mist, intentionally keeping a distance, and only sprayed spider silk from a distance, driving the small spiders to come and fight a war of attrition.

"This white mist can even block spiritual detection. It's quite interesting. I wonder if this ugly thing can be dragged back and used as a raw material for weaving cloth."

If she really wanted to kill it, it was not impossible, but it would take some effort and would not benefit her.

The saint glanced into the depths of the white fog, then looked at the ruts left by the carriage as it went down the mountain.

"You want me to stay behind to cover your retreat... I want to see how you plan to avoid this demonic disaster."

After saying this, he used his body skills and disappeared into the mountains and forests like a ghost, disappearing in an instant.

Seeing that the powerful enemy was gone, the mountain spider paused slightly, turned around, changed direction, and rushed down the mountain.

……

At the same time, the carriage had stopped moving forward.

The carriage was going down the mountain too fast, and after just a few tens of seconds it was unable to dodge and was directly smashed to pieces.

The coffin was fine, but the pony had broken free from its reins and had escaped to an unknown place.

The forest deer emerged from the grass, covered in dust, but its expression did not show any complaint, but rather joy.

"I think I hear the sound of water!"

Hearing the sound of water means that we are very close to the Wujiang River and have arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"In this direction!"

She was talking happily when she turned around and immediately saw the sharp mouthparts flying in front of her.

A spider the size of a wheel had already pounced upon her, nearly tearing her pretty little face to pieces.

Then the tip of the sword passed through from behind and pierced through the big spider's forehead, less than a centimeter away from her nose tip, and green blood dripped along the sword edge.

The young man picked up the spider and threw it backwards. The spider disappeared into the white mist in the forest. Then the white mist rolled and the scalp-numbing chewing sound was heard again, as if it was sharing food.

"Stop being stunned."

Bai Xuan shouted loudly, and the little deer shuddered.

She immediately drew her sword and killed two spiders that pounced on her from above. Then she heard a second command: "Don't fight!"

Bai Xuan turned around and kicked the coffin. Such a heavy coffin could not be moved quickly without the carriage, but it was very strong and had a layer of wooden boards tied underneath, so it could slide down with the help of the inclination of the mountain.

Although it is not very respectful to the deceased, I can't care less about it at this time.

He concentrated his mind, continuously swinging his sword to kill the spiders surrounding him, while pushing the coffin downwards, moving more than ten steps each time.

As for Lin Jiaolu, he could only take care of himself, although he was also in a mess.

The sound of running water was getting closer.

"Coming!"

Lin Jiaolu had already heard the sound of the rushing waves of the Wujiang River coming from the front, and had never been so eager to see a big river.

She was so excited that she just ran forward, and suddenly she missed a step and almost fell down.

Lin Jiaolu lost his balance and fell to the ground, staring ahead in amazement.

The white fog ahead gradually thinned, and she could see clearly.

What's ahead is not the foot of the mountain, but a cliff.

There was indeed the Wujiang River ahead, but it was more than fifty meters above the water surface. The waves crashed against the mountain wall, stirring up large amounts of white foam.

For a master at the Grandmaster level, who can reach the sky by stepping on his left foot with his right foot, this height is nothing. But for her, a true warrior who had just entered the country and climbed the stairs, she would die if she fell more than 50 meters.

Lin Jiaolu didn't know what to do, and subconsciously turned around to ask Bai Xuan. In his heart, he already regarded this young man as his backbone.

As a result, when she turned around, she saw a scene that made her pupils shrink.

The young man jumped up with a sword in his hand and stabbed the giant beast that had half of its body sticking out of the white mist!

Yes.

Has been caught up.

The time the Spiritual Saint bought wasn't much. The mountain spider was massive, and with countless other spiders acting as eyes and ears, it couldn't possibly get lost. It rushed straight towards them, arriving in just a few seconds. The spider's legs, as thick as tree trunks, stabbed forward. Knowing that he had no cultivation, Bai Xuan didn't dare to lift his feet off the ground. He opted for the most cost-effective but unpretentious method: rolling.

However, it did not roll sideways, but rolled close to the beast, not retreating but moving forward, getting close to the belly of the giant beast. Because the mountain spider was huge, the bottom was a blind spot.

And when facing large monsters, you have to start with pedicure. How can you pedicure if you don’t get close to them!
Relying on Jiang Chengzi's sharpness, Bai Xuan rolled up and chopped directly at the joint of the spider's legs. The sword flashed, clang!
The echo is like the ringing of a bell.

The young man's right hand was cracked at the base of his palm, and his shirt was stained with blood, but he remained calm.

He swayed sideways twice, dodged the attack of the small spider with one sidestep, and switched the sword in his hand from his right hand to his left hand, wielding the sword as fast as the wind!

He swung his sword with all his strength again, still aiming at the same joint, and his left hand also cracked at the base of the palm.

This time the sword's tip sunk in, breaking through the outer layer's solid defenses, and green blood spurted out of the wound on the spider's leg.

Bai Xuan wanted to continue exerting force, but the mountain spider just sat down and smashed to the ground. Its huge body fell down, covering all the area below it. He could only draw his sword and slide out of the blind spot under the mountain spider.

Don't think this is the end.

As the mountain spider's body slammed down, its vulnerable abdomen and limbs were exposed to attack.

Bai Xuan looked back at the moon, threw out Jiang Chengzi, and pierced his fat belly with a sword like a rainbow. Although his belly also had defenses, it was far less strong than the limbs supporting the torso.

The mountain spider roared in pain, and the empty space under its belly was stained a mottled green by the blood.

Bai Xuan hooked his fingers and was about to use the sword-controlling technique to make Jiang Chengzi twist the belly of this demon to pieces, but the mountain spider pounded around like crazy, raising countless stones and branches, forcing him to turn around and retreat.

When he retreated all the way, he looked back and saw that the deer was still sitting on the side of the road, staring at this side blankly.

Xiaolu saw the fleeting ten seconds clearly, and the scene deeply shocked her soul. How to say it, it was like a rookie hunter watching the uninjured performance of a top hunter. She thought it was simply visual art.

Whether in terms of physical fitness or other aspects, Bai Xuan is weaker than Mountain Spider in all aspects, but he can use the weak to defeat the strong and the fast to defeat the slow.

Even with such a terrifying demon, he still managed to handle it with ease.

No matter how ignorant she was, she knew in her heart... Even her father, Lin Chongxiao, was not so brave before he reached the Grandmaster level. This was like walking on a tightrope, dancing on the edge of a knife, and both skill and courage were indispensable.

Among the twenty or so people before, many were at a higher level than him, but they all became food for this mountain spider.

If even one of them had such skills and courage, I'm afraid the demon's head would have been hung in the Yuan family's yard to dry.

She had long been familiar with the legends of the heroes in the martial arts world, but this scene that had just been mentioned in the storytelling was the first time she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

Fight the monsters up close and retreat calmly.

Today I know what a true young hero is!
Lin Jiaolu watched him walking towards her and her heart beat faster unconsciously.

"What are you looking at!"

As soon as Bai Xuan opened his mouth, he broke the girl's fantasy of peach blossoms blooming on her head, reminding her that she was still between life and death.

"Poisoned?"

“Why don’t you leave!”

Lin Jiaolu came back to his senses from his trance, turned around, smiled bitterly and said, "It's a cliff. There's no way out."

Bai Xuan stood on the edge of the cliff and understood why the deer stopped running... It was indeed a dead end.

However, it cannot be said to be a complete dead end.

Bai Xuan picked up a rope with his left foot, wrapped it around Lin Jiaolu's lower abdomen, and quickly tied a slipknot for her. The other end of the rope was connected to the coffin.

"I'll buy some time." Bai Xuan said, "Get ready to jump."

"what?"

"There's still a glimmer of hope if you jump in. There's a river below. You should be fine sitting on the coffin." Bai Xuan thought for a moment, then took out a palm-sized scale from his arms and handed it over: "Take it, it will ensure you don't drown."

After saying this, without giving Lin Jiaolu any extra time to think, Bai Xuan turned and walked towards the misty forest, finding the exact location of the coffin.

The mountain spider did not rush over immediately, but kept a distance, with human-like resentment revealed in its six eyes.

……

boom--!
A dull thud was heard, but this time there was no familiar sound of weapons colliding.

Lin Jiaolu stood on the edge of the cliff and saw the coffin being knocked out from the white fog. She was pulled by the rope and fell down the cliff.

But he was reluctant to look down, and instead stared at the cliff.

When she fell into the icy river, the figure standing on the edge of the cliff was swallowed up by the white mist.

The girl's nose felt sore, and her vision was flooded with tears and river water.

She had never cursed her own weakness as much as she did at that moment.

"..."

puff.

Amidst the dull sound, the cold river water flooded over the body.

She was swept to the bottom of the river along with the coffin.

At the same time, a pair of huge snake eyes opened at the bottom of the dark river, as if sensing something.
