Chu Miaomiao awakens after being severely injured by two Spirit Venerables. Chu Zhiyuan offers his assistance, and Chu Miaomiao accepts his help to track down and exact revenge on her attackers. They pursue the two Sixth Transition Spirit Venerables who injured her, intending to ambush them.

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

He hadn’t seen the moves of these two Spirit Venerables before, they probably weren’t from Biyuan Heaven.

Biyuan Heaven has numerous sects, large and small, with the Four Great Sects as the most revered. However, the Spirit Venerables of Biyuan Heaven come from only a few sects.

In general sects, the pinnacle of power is the Venerable, and they are not even at the Perfect Realm.

Spirit Venerables are beyond their reach.

Therefore, Biyuan Heaven’s Spirit Venerables have only a dozen martial arts styles.

Chu Zhiyuan believed he understood them all.

His eyes suddenly flashed with clarity.

A moment later, murderous intent surged in his heart.

He had underestimated these two guys.

They had already teamed up to kill several Spirit Venerables.

They had already killed eight newly accomplished Spirit Venerables.

They even killed two Third Transition Spirit Venerables and one Fourth-turn Spirit Venerable.

They almost managed to kill Chu Miaomiao, a Sixth Transition Spirit Venerable.

That would have been the strongest Spirit Venerable they ever eliminated.

Unfortunately, Chu Miaomiao was lucky, carrying a Spirit Pill and Spiritual Artifact, escaping with her life from their combined attack.

These Spirit Venerables had no grievances or enmity with them, but were killed just because they became Spirit Venerables.

They were not practicing Evil Skills either, killing Spirit Venerables wasn’t for enhancing cultivation, but purely due to psychological distortion, seeking thrill and excitement.

What they wanted was to wipe out all the Spirit Venerables in the world and establish a state of supremacy.

It must be said that these two guys are crazy.

So when they encountered the injured Chu Miaomiao, they attacked without hesitation.

He turned his head towards Chu Miaomiao, using Sound Transmission into Secret: "How do we attack?"

"I’ll deal with the thin one." Chu Miaomiao transmitted: "That guy is the most despicable!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "How about I launch a surprise attack? You strike first, and I act when the opportunity arises."

"...Alright, this plan is excellent, kill them all."

Chu Miaomiao’s face broke into a smile.

This secret technique of Chu Zhiyuan’s was best suited for ambush assassination.

While she was fighting those two guys, he suddenly launched a surprise attack, surely succeeding.

"Hmm, ensure they don’t escape," said Chu Zhiyuan, "I’ll hide first."

Chu Miaomiao waved her hand.

Chu Zhiyuan vanished in a flash, now appearing on a mountaintop five hundred meters away.

Standing on a tree fork in the forest of the mountaintop, his eyes peered through the gaps in the leaves towards this side.

Chu Miaomiao glanced around but couldn’t detect Chu Zhiyuan’s presence.

Secretly praising this powerful secret technique.

If it could fool her, it could also fool those two despicable guys.

She operated her cultivation, activating her Spiritual Essence, which had extremely strong healing effects.

Along the way, her injuries had already recovered by nine-tenths.

Now operating, her injuries completely healed.

Two middle-aged men pursuing the Spirit Puppet frowned, their gaze as sharp as electricity, cast this way.

They saw Chu Miaomiao waiting in the distance, her Yellow Robe fluttering.

Looking again at the person they were chasing, also in a Yellow Robe fluttering.

The auras of the two were almost indistinguishable.

Immediately, they understood that another Spirit Venerable from the same sect was here to help.

But the one ahead who was fleeing was already severely wounded, and another appearing was of no use, might as well kill them together.

They exchanged glances, revealing smiles.

Originally, it was just one meal, now it turned into two meals, couldn’t get any better!

The Spirit Puppet drifted like the wind, in the blink of an eye reaching Chu Miaomiao’s front, burrowing into her without pause.

It disappeared into Chu Miaomiao’s body.

It looked as though two people became one, leaving the two Spirit Venerables stunned.

They had never seen such a phenomenon.

Thinking it was some secret technique of two people working together, but ultimately only saw Chu Miaomiao alone, the other person completely vanished.

They frowned, puzzled, didn’t rush to attack, stopping thirty meters in front of Chu Miaomiao.

Chu Miaomiao glared at them coldly: "Name yourselves!"

"Interesting." The two Spirit Venerables exchanged glances.

The thin middle-aged man laughed: "Missy, you think you can be our opponent?"

Chu Miaomiao glared at them coldly, snorting: "I don’t kill nameless people, name yourselves."

"Hehe..." The thin middle-aged man chuckled: "Missy, such bold words, aren’t you just Sixth Transition? We are also Sixth Transition, can you fight one against two?"

Chu Miaomiao said coldly: "Even if I can’t kill both of you, killing one is enough, one of you will die today!"

"What a big talk, then let’s see." The slightly plumper middle-aged man said coldly: "This time, you won’t escape."

Both of them pushed their palms out, Spiritual Essence condensed in the air, forming two strange patterns.

These two strange patterns emitted crystalline sheen, as if poured in golden liquid.

One was simple and ancient, the other complex and mysterious.

They floated softly to Chu Miaomiao, silent and unnoticed.

Upon approaching, they suddenly expanded several times, like a golden net enveloping her.

She snorted, her figure flashed, escaped the golden net’s cover, simultaneously shooting towards them, closing the distance, her right palm like White Jade pushed out.

A lotus flower condensed, instantly scattering into a cluster of lotus flowers, drifting towards them.

They dodged the lotus flower cover, continuing to push their palms, forming layers of golden nets enveloping Chu Miaomiao.

Chu Zhiyuan stood on the tree fork, watching the sight, shaking his head.

Their method of attack was too rough, without any subtlety.

Upon reaching the Spirit Venerable Realm, they no longer spent effort honing Martial Skills, instead relying on the characteristics of Spiritual Essence for such brute force confrontations.

Competing on whose cultivation was stronger, whose secret technique was more powerful.

No longer competing for the precision of skills, not needing to fight closely.

His eyes once again became bright, the Divine Eye Illumination of their Spiritual Essence operation, probing their past, seeking their weaknesses.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The lotus flowers and golden nets collided, emitting thunder-like muffled sounds.

Trees around broke one after another, uprooted by the gust, swept afar.

For a moment, the surroundings were unclear, only the pounding wind, as if trapped within a tornado.

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t rush to act, their fierce fight was just a stalemate, neither painful nor itchy, not involving life or death.

Both being Sixth Transition, under equally matched circumstances, life and death couldn’t be seen quickly.

Chu Miaomiao fought one against two without lagging behind, showing that her Cultivation Technique surpassed the two.

This made the two middle-aged men even more jealous, murderous intent boiling.

He illuminated the operation of the two’s Spiritual Essence, simultaneously comparing it with his Divine Essence.

A moment later, two clear beams shot from his sleeve, they were two Flying Knives.

These Flying Knives were united with his Heart and Spirit, refined thoroughly.

Now containing the Divine Essence of Taixu True Scripture, becoming faint.

They appeared lightly behind the two middle-aged men, ignoring the surrounding violent wind, ignoring the layers of lotus flowers and golden net, effortlessly piercing through their bodies.

They couldn’t react, suddenly feeling their heartache empty, immediately looking down.

They saw a Flying Knife had already pierced their heart, appearing in the air, then disappearing again.

Chu Zhiyuan stood five hundred meters away, surprised looking at the two middle-aged men.

He hadn’t expected the Flying Knives commanded by Taixu True Scripture to have such power.

Ignoring obstacles, penetrating directly.

No matter being blocked by Spiritual Energy or by physical barriers, it could penetrate through.

This didn’t seem like Martial Arts, more like a force transcending Martial Arts.

"Ah——!"

The two middle-aged men clutched their chests, suddenly shooting out, escaping afar.

Two clear beams penetrated their Dantian, stopping in mid-air.

Their speed suddenly slowed, rapidly declining, getting slower and slower, finally falling to the ground, making a muffled "boom".

With their Dantian pierced, Spiritual Essence quickly leaked, strength throughout the body drained, unable to hold up their bodies anymore.

In disbelief, they roared angrily: "Who? Who is it?!"

Chu Zhiyuan appeared beside Chu Miaomiao, shaking his head.

The power of Taixu True Scripture is truly terrifying!
