"Let her go."
Xuan Yuan Huan Yu looked at Mo Ni Chang's hand on Gao Zhun's shoulder with an unfriendly expression.
Mo Nishang seemed oblivious to Xuan Yuan Huanyu's displeasure, and simply curled her lips, saying, "What if I don't let go?"
"very good."
Xuan Yuan Huan Yu only answered Mo Ni Chang with those two words, but Gao Zhun suddenly felt a lightness on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Mo Ni Chang being lifted into the air and released. As for herself...
A fire-type attack grazed her shoulder, causing it to feel slightly warm; it was a ball of pale golden flame.
Gao Zhun frowned. She was not a complete novice who knew nothing about the cultivation world. On the contrary, based on Gao Zhun's previous memories, she had a lot of knowledge about the cultivation world in her mind. She also knew about the pale golden flame that Xuan Yuan Huan Yu had used.
Gold is the color of nobility. Any Five Elements magic that incorporates gold is considered the king of that magic. This pale golden flame does suit Xuanyuan Huanyu, who comes from the Xuanyuan family, quite well, however...
Gao Zhun narrowed her eyes slightly, watching the two people who had begun to fight in the sky. Having never seen people fight like this before, she knew that the two of them were ruthless in their moves. Almost every move would cause irreparable damage if not dodged, just like Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's attack on Mo Ni Chang just now.
Perhaps intentionally, Xuanyuan Huanyu was very confident in his control over his magic, which is why he launched that attack regardless of her safety. Or perhaps it was just luck that she happened to be outside the trajectory of that ball of flames.
However, regardless of the reason, Gao Zhun felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment. She didn't understand why Xuan Yuan Huan Yu was so worried about her. It was just that Ni Chang touched her shoulder, was it necessary to overreact? But if he was really worried about her, why would he launch such an attack without regard for her safety?
The more Gao Zhun thought about it, the less she understood Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's thoughts. Mo Ni Chang was also very surprised because she had just seen the other party deliberately not dodge Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's feint, which resulted in an injury to her left rib. However, she acted as if nothing had happened, smiling as she blocked the other party's subsequent real killing moves, as if she had lost the sense of pain.
"They're both lunatics," Gao Zhun muttered under his breath.
With their current cultivation levels, even if Gao Zhun's voice was soft, the two trembling individuals could still hear it. At this moment, Mo Ni Chang and Xuan Yuan Huan Yu stopped fighting and gazed down at the scene below.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Gao Zhun frowned. She really didn't like these two women. Not only did they suppress her with their aura, but they also repeatedly threatened her safety. You see, having died once before, she was now inexplicably reborn and was extremely sensitive to the words "personal safety." She was afraid that she would once again step into the abyss of death. If that happened, she was afraid there would never be another Gao Zhun for her soul to reside in.
Xuan Yuan Huan Yu remained silent, but Mo Ni Chang glanced at Gao Zhun below with interest, then looked back and met Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's gaze: "It seems your kid hasn't gathered enough information yet."
Hmm? Gao Zhun heard Mo Nishang's words clearly. What she was more curious about was that these two women had started fighting at the first disagreement, but now they had stopped fighting because of her words. How could she be so willful?
But is there any information she doesn't have?
Seeing that Gao Zhun really didn't understand, Mo Nishang curled the corners of her mouth and said with a hint of sarcasm, "It seems that you really think that I and that woman are crazy. Use your brain and think about it. In our position, how many of us are not afraid of death, and how many of us are so impatient?"
The second half of the sentence has a hidden meaning.
Gao Zhun subconsciously looked at Xuan Yuan Huan Yu. Seeing that the latter did not refute, he recalled what he had just discovered and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that we have really lost the sense of pain here, and all attacks have no effect on our bodies?"
"Hmm, looks like you're not too stupid after all."
"..." means she's still pretty stupid. She used to have excellent grades in Chinese, and getting full marks in reading comprehension was a common occurrence, Gao Zhun thought to himself.
“However, on the other hand, if you don’t try it yourself, you probably won’t be able to adapt. After all, we’ve tested whether injuries have any effect on our bodies, but we haven’t tested death. Well, adapting early will be very helpful for later battles.” As she spoke, Mo Nishang gathered a ball of ice in her right hand, looking eager to try.
Gao Zhun looked up and rolled his eyes at Mo Nishang. The smile on his face was getting more and more annoying. He said he wanted to get used to it early, but he just wanted to beat her up, right?
Recalling Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's fire-type attack just now, and the woman in front of him is ice-type, tsk tsk, how come these two have completely opposite spiritual root attributes and their own body attributes? Wouldn't it be less incongruous if the two of them switched places?
However... the fact that the attack was ineffective against her body was suspicious no matter how she thought about it. She had just clearly felt the heat of Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's attack and the urgent sense of crisis. In short, she dared not try it.
However, would Mo Ni Chang be the kind of woman who asks for permission before doing anything?
Obviously, not really.
While Gao Zhun was still struggling with how to dissuade Mo Nishang, the opponent's ice shards struck her right arm with incredible speed. It seemed that the person was afraid of hitting a fatal spot and causing irreparable consequences, so they chose this particular point of impact.
As for Xuanyuan Huanyu? The woman remained calm, watching indifferently as Mo Nishang's attack headed towards Gao Zhun, showing no intention of moving at all.
'Damn, is the speed really that fast? How is anyone supposed to dodge this?' Gao Zhun thought to herself. Although she didn't think Mo Nishang was lying, she trusted her own judgment more. Instinctively, Gao Zhun dodged to the left. But how could she, with her cultivation only at the peak of the early Golden Core stage, dodge the speed of Mo Nishang's peak Golden Core attack in this situation? So, Gao Zhun only shifted slightly, and Mo Nishang's ice pillar struck her right arm directly.
Instantly, a bone-chilling cold seeped through the fabric and the skin and flesh of her right arm, spreading throughout Gao Zhun's entire body. It felt as if her blood and cells were about to freeze. Realizing this, she quickly activated the Gao family's inner cultivation technique, forcibly opening up the blood vessels where her blood was congealing. Due to the unbearable pain, her forehead was already damp with fine sweat.
Due to the impact of that attack and her subconscious dodge that caused her to lose her balance, Gao Zhun had already fallen to the ground, lying on her side with her back to Mo Nishang and Xuan Yuan Huanyu. Therefore, neither of them noticed anything amiss with her.
"Hey, I told you you didn't have to dodge. Look at you, now you've brought this on yourself." The voice behind her grew closer, but Gao Zhun was too weak to respond. She had no idea just how domineering this woman's ice attribute was. At this moment, she felt as if she were immersed in an ice cellar, shivering from the cold, unable to utter a word. Her eyelids were frighteningly heavy, yet the excruciating pain in her right arm caused by the injury constantly stimulated her nerves, preventing her from falling asleep.
'Something's not right.' Thinking this, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu stopped hovering in the air like a high-mountain flower, observing coldly. Instead, she swooped down towards Gao Zhun at a speed exceeding that of Mo Ni Chang, arriving in front of Gao Zhun in the blink of an eye.
Mo Nishang was only one step slower than Xuan Yuan Huanyu. At this moment, she stood ten steps away from both Gao Zhun and Xuan Yuan Huanyu, coldly looking at Gao Zhun lying on the ground, suffering from the torment of the cold air. This was the first time Gao Zhun had seen such a cold expression on Mo Nishang's face. It was as if he understood in an instant why this person could unleash such chilling magic.
Unlike Mo Nishang's indifference, Xuan Yuan Huanyu bent down and placed her hand on Gao Zhun's injured right arm. Fire-attribute true energy continuously flowed from her palm through the contact point between the two to Gao Zhun's body, then entered his eight extraordinary meridians, constantly circulating and repairing the areas damaged by the cold energy brought by Mo Nishang's attack. The right arm, which was directly in contact with the attack, was now recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Heh, what a strange lad."
Finally, Mo Nishang fell silent and spoke softly.
“Indeed.” With the facts laid bare, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu naturally did not refute Mo Ni Chang’s words, nor would she allow her to do so. Strange? It was probably more than just strange.
Xuan Yuan Huan Yu sighed inwardly. Aunt Ming Zhu's child was really troublesome. She had just failed in her duty. But she really didn't expect that Gao Zhun was so special.
Seeing that Gao Zhun's complexion had improved, Mo Nishang's icy expression faded, and a faint smile returned, though this smile held a hint of mystery.
Having finally regained his strength, Gao Zhun wanted to try speaking and criticize Mo Nishang, but when he saw that smile from her, his heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth, but then closed it again, keeping the words he was about to say to himself.
"Want to know why I guessed your identity so easily before, and why I know everything about you?"
Sure enough, a moment later, Gao Zhun heard Mo Ni Chang's words echo in his ears.
Gao Zhun closed her eyes. She was indeed quite tired, and her voice sounded weak and listless: "In fact, I also want to know why even Miss Huanyu guessed my identity. I think I am just an insignificant little person in the Gao family."
“I can answer that for you now,” Mo Nishang smiled. “I love helping others with their questions.”
