I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 89: Chapter 78: Overwhelming Suppression

Beside the underground cave lake.

Lin Suwan finished replying to Shen Huaxi’s message, turned back to look at the two meditating male cultivators, and shook her head with a smirk.

These two were loose cultivators cultivated by Lin Xiangtian, who provided them with the Elixirs needed for their daily cultivation. They helped him collect wild Spiritual Medicine and handle trivial tasks.

This time, Jia Xiuchun, under the guise of Lin Xiangtian, ordered them to hunt down Jiang Yuebai, ensuring she couldn’t return to the sect alive.

Who could have expected these two Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivators couldn’t even defeat an Eighth-Level Tiger Demon?

Lin Suwan almost wanted to curse, but now she knew how to restrain her temper; it wouldn’t be wise to offend people before the matter was accomplished.

Once they regained consciousness, Lin Suwan quickly approached to ask, ”It’s been three days now. Shouldn’t we go check it out again? What if she got the treasures from the cave and escaped?”

Lin Suwan was aware that their minds were now not solely on killing Jiang Yuebai, but they also coveted the treasures within the cave.

The relatively calm Cheng Xiong said, ”That Tiger Demon is too fierce. We managed to destroy ten Chang Ghosts and seriously injured the Tiger Demon, which was no easy feat. Going now might just let that girl take advantage.”

With a nod, the dark-faced Cao Zheng agreed, ”Indeed. I saw earlier that there were no other exits in the cave. We can go in after the Tiger Demon and that girl both suffer defeat.”

Lin Suwan was anxious, always feeling that Jiang Yuebai was lucky, and she wouldn’t die so easily this time either.

”Even so, three days is long enough. We should at least go check. You haven’t entered the inner cave; how do you know there’s no other exit?”

The two exchanged a glance and found her reasoning sound.

Cheng Xiong said, ”Alright, you stay here, and my brother and I will go to take a look.”

Lin Suwan obediently nodded, ”Okay, I won’t hold you back.”

The two gave Lin Suwan a profound look, suppressing their murderous intent. Had she not been Lin Xiangtian’s descendant, she’d be dead by now.

Cheng Xiong and Cao Zheng concealed their breath and dove back into the cave.

As soon as their heads emerged at the lake inside the cave, a Golden Needle attacked. Seeing it was an ordinary Sharpness Technique, Cao Zheng dodged his head, but Cheng Xiong, realizing something wrong, pulled Cao Zheng into the water immediately.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The sharpness exploded in an instant, as if the rain were pounding down.

In the water, the two became live targets, turned into hedgehogs, thinking it was just a regular Golden Needle, only for it to transform into lightning inside, making them twitch in pain, helpless to die.

Gasping for breath with difficulty, they returned to the surface and saw a person and a Tiger Demon engaged in combat in the distance—it turned out they were mistakenly injured.

”What kind of spell is this, so powerful!” Cao Zheng felt chills down his spine.

Cheng Xiong furrowed his brows, ”It seems... like the Sharpness Technique for farming and pest control.”

”The farming Sharpness Technique? Are you sure!!”

Cao Zheng’s voice broke; Cheng Xiong remained silent, both hiding in the shadows, eyes fixed on the battle.

Roar!

The Tiger Demon, enraged, launched another killer move, ground spikes rising densely like tidal waves.

Witnessing this move’s power, the bystanders were still appalled.

Facing them, Jiang Yuebai seemed fearless, switching from her spear to her dual blades.

With two long blades in hand, she spun and rushed into the incoming ground spikes, moving like a top, with Sword Aura clashing, sparks flying.

The ground spikes that even an Eighth-Grade Magical Sword couldn’t cut were effortlessly shredded by her Dual Blades Wind and Fire Wheel.

The spirited young girl leapt, her dual blades descending like thunder, slicing fiercely downward.

Puchi!

A yowl ensued, blood splattered, and the Eighth-Level Tiger Demon met its end under her blades.

Cao Zheng was stunned, his lower lip trembling, ”Bro, we can’t... beat this, can we?”

Cheng Xiong was also dumbfounded; this was the second time encountering Jiang Yuebai—she was always fleeing desperately, leading them to believe she was not of much weight.

Now seeing her annihilate the Tiger Demon like cutting through vegetables brought a deep sense of disparity in strength.

”Retreat!” Cheng Xiong decisively chose survival.

”Where are you running to, gentlemen?”

A cold, stern female voice suddenly appeared behind, startling the two men to flee instantly.

Silver light flashed by, causing them to scramble to their feet.

Jiang Yuebai, holding her dual blades, stood by the lake, her smile not reaching her eyes, ”Haven’t thanked you two for helping me wound the Tiger Demon. Why rush off? What about repaying a drop of water with a spring?”

Cheng Xiong warned cautiously, ”We are just working for money and have no intention to feud with you. Why don’t we both take a step back?”

Cao Zheng nodded, ”Right, if you push my brother and me too hard, neither of us will walk away!”

Jiang Yuebai tossed her long blade aside, her eyes brimming with killing intent, ”Then let’s not live at all!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Cheng Xiong and Cao Zheng realized they couldn’t end things peacefully and immediately split up to attack.

Jiang Yuebai charged at Cheng Xiong, put away her blade, and switched to a spear without looking, single-handedly forming a spell to unleash a Five-Layer Sharpness Technique straight at Cao Zheng’s face.

”Damn!”

Cao Zheng’s eyes almost popped out; he summoned a Golden Light Talisman to activate a Golden Light Shield.

The sharpness burst, Golden Needles like rain.

It crackled upon the Golden Light Shield, launching a lightning tide, Cao Zheng’s breath quivered, and the shield shattered in an instant, sending him flying backward from the recoil.

Meanwhile, Cheng Xiong faced Jiang Yuebai directly, wary, summoning his Eighth-Grade Flame Light Banner. Instantly, the blaze was blinding, stealing attention, while a Magic Sword attacked from behind.

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes gleamed unwaveringly, her spear’s electric glow coiling like a dragon, forceful and ponderous, thrusting straight ahead.

The sound of silk tearing and metal clashing echoed through the cave, all unfolding in a blink.

Cao Zheng spat blood, climbed up from the ground, and saw Cheng Xiong pinned to the mountain wall by Jiang Yuebai’s spear.

Electricity streaked over Cheng Xiong’s body, his agonized screams ringing, his body convulsing.

Single-Handed Seal, Seventh-Grade Long Spear, Jiang Yuebai’s capabilities and Magic Artifacts left Cao Zheng trembling, feeling ever more powerless to resist.

Puchi!

The spear was extracted, Cheng Xiong fell lifelessly.

Cao Zheng swallowed hard, feinted, then dashed towards the lake trying to escape.

Jiang Yuebai planted her spear in the ground, her fingers swirling deftly, left hand with Five-Layer Sharpness Technique, right hand with Five-Layer Red Flame Technique, completing within a breath, uniting both hands suddenly.

Pa!

Golden Needles shot out, tinged with fiery light.

Cao Zheng exerted all his strength, deploying all remaining Magic Artifacts and talismans he had, erecting a massive barrier.

The sound of rain against banana leaves, Cao Zheng’s veins bulging as he blocked all the Golden Needles outside, thinking it was the same lightning-conjuring sharpness, without seeing the glint in Jiang Yuebai’s eyes.

”Explode!”

Electric flashes ignited like thunder and fire fuses, and the Golden Needles rained down exploded abruptly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening noise overwhelmed, like mountains collapsing and seas rising, engulfing the vicinity in a tremendous fire sea.

Jiang Yuebai previously at the Ten Thousand Laws Hall, none of the spells trialed worked except when combining these two, almost blasting Lii Jiuchuan’s courtyard.

Furious yet maintaining composure, Jiuchuan grit his teeth saying ’Very well,’ with a dark look, helping her adjust a few flaws.

Jiang Yuebai giggled foolishly, for this was her second self-created spell, ’Flame Thunder Burst,’ after Cloud Thunder Break.

The sound from the lake indicated Lin Suwan sneaking along, as she emerged just in time to witness the fiery explosion, seeing Cao Zheng blown to pieces.

Her face turned pale, she turned and fled.

With the blaze dissipating, Jiang Yuebai glanced at the lake’s ripples, instructed Little Green to collect the soul, while she took out the Eight Arrays Plate, spinning it in her hand.

”Today, let’s see if you can escape.”
