Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2247: Chapter 2246: The Strength of the Merfolk

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun held hands, cautiously walking forward, while Bai Ruozhu sprinkled drug powder with her other hand on both sides.

Without the help of the Wei Hall people, it was harder for them to determine the positions of the Fire-Thunder formations, increasing the level of danger and wasting more drug powder.

”Do we have enough of the drug?” Jiang Yichun asked worriedly.

”It’s a bit risky. Let’s speed up. As long as we reach the entrance to the Barrier, I can talk to the clan leader,” Bai Ruozhu said.

The clan leader has the Barrier jade plate and can hear the commotion at the entrance of the Barrier.

The two continued moving forward. During this time, there were explosions, but fortunately, affected by the poison, they didn’t explode with much power, only singeing some edges of their clothes.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind. Jiang Yichun held Bai Ruozhu’s hand tighter, ”Be careful.”

As he spoke, he already moved in front of her. Bai Ruozhu felt warmth in her heart, knowing this man always shielded her behind him no matter when.

”Today this place will be your burial ground. I’ll let you become a pair of fugitive mandarin ducks,” You Meng’s voice sounded, and soon he appeared in front of them.

Bai Ruozhu slightly retreated; within a few dozen meters was the entrance to the Barrier. As long as she rushed past, they could find reinforcements. Otherwise, with her and Jiang Yichun’s skills, they couldn’t possibly contend with You Meng, not to mention the dozen or so subordinates behind him.

Jiang Yichun’s hand moved slightly behind his back. Bai Ruozhu understood that he was thinking the same as her; he wanted her to quickly reach the Barrier entrance, but if she left him like this, Achun would be surrounded alone. It was too dangerous!

”Trick technique, activate!” You Meng suddenly said, and the dozen or so people behind him swiftly surrounded them, clearly intending to encircle the two tightly.

Bai Ruozhu had seen the power of the trick technique before and dared not hesitate any longer, her body shooting towards the distance.

This time, those who were supposed to encircle them didn’t succeed. Five people hurriedly chased after Bai Ruozhu. Meanwhile, Jiang Yichun started fighting with You Meng.

Suddenly a loud explosion sounded, and You Meng laughed, ”Haha, in a hurry to get reinforcements? Unfortunately, before finding them, the person is blown to death.”

Jiang Yichun’s eyes turned red as he fiercely attacked You Meng, but he knew Ruozhu wouldn’t die. Ruozhu was so clever; she would definitely hide within the Space. Yet, he still remembered the last time when both their backs were blown raw, and he feared Ruozhu might get hurt again.

It was all because of this Quanrong Clan Leader in front of him; he would not let him off!

For a moment, Jiang Yichun’s aura surged, his eyes also becoming blood-red, and the air around him felt stagnant, as if water would drip from it.

You Meng narrowed his eyes; the ant in his eyes suddenly became stronger, though not enough to defeat him. He was just curious about why this person became stronger.

It wasn’t a Forbidden Technique, nor was it hidden strength, so it was...

Jiang Yichun had already moved, and You Meng retreated upon receiving his blow, suddenly saying, ”You’re actually a Merfolk!”

Jiang Yichun didn’t speak, continuing his frenzied attack. He would not let anyone who dared to hurt Ruozhu go.

”What about being a Merfolk? Don’t you know a Merfolk’s strength halves without water, and besides, a Merfolk fears fire?” A greedy glint flashed in You Meng’s eyes. ”Once I kill you, I’ll use you to make an Everlasting Candle.”

”Let’s see if you have that ability.” Jiang Yichun’s expression didn’t change, but inside he was in turmoil. He didn’t know how his powers increased when he got angry, revealing his Merfolk bloodline. He had been angry before, but this had never happened.

Was it the influence of the Blood Curse that triggered his Merfolk bloodline, causing its traits to manifest?

At this moment, he felt the increase in his strength and vaguely sensed the moisture around him. He had always felt pain and trouble because of the Merfolk bloodline but now felt it wasn’t so bad. At least he could become strong and protect his woman.

You Meng attacked Jiang Yichun, but this time Jiang Yichun twisted his body, sliding away like a fish, clearly the skill of a Merfolk. This confirmed You Meng’s previous judgment even more.

”Light the fire; let’s see how he’ll run,” You Meng instructed his subordinates.

Flames rose around them. Although the fire didn’t directly burn Jiang Yichun, the surrounding air heated up, reducing the moisture, and the changes in Jiang Yichun’s body slowly diminished.

”I wonder if a roasted Merfolk would turn into dried fish, haha,” You Meng laughed wildly.

Jiang Yichun squinted his eyes and suddenly transformed, becoming a streak of light, with his sword slashing fiercely towards You Meng.

You Meng hurriedly dodged, but Jiang Yichun’s speed was too fast. Although You Meng avoided a vital spot, his right arm was slashed, and blood instantly dyed his sleeve red.

”You’re deceiving! Why isn’t the fire affecting you?” You Meng angrily pointed at his wounded arm and glared at Jiang Yichun.

Jiang Yichun sneered, ”If I want to kill you, nothing can stop me!” With that, he attacked You Meng again.

Actually, he had been worried, but soon he realized the fire barely affected him, probably because he wasn’t originally a Merfolk and wasn’t born living in the water, so his habits differed from typical Merfolk.

He felt this was an excellent opportunity, pretending his strength weakened and his movements constrained, then taking advantage of You Meng’s carelessness to attack him.

The plan worked, though unfortunately, it didn’t take You Meng’s life, but injuring him was already quite good.

”Die!” You Meng finally became angry, his inner strength surging, his sleeves bulging.

Enormous inner strength surged towards Jiang Yichun. Jiang Yichun couldn’t confront it directly and could only dodge quickly. But You Meng’s attacks came faster and faster, and Jiang Yichun seemed about to be unable to evade it!

Suddenly, a massive wave of inner strength struck, colliding directly with You Meng’s move, knocking You Meng back two steps.

”What’s the point of bullying the younger generation? Come on, the old man here will fight you,” a hearty voice rang out, and in the next second, the Third Elder appeared in front of You Meng.

Jiang Yichun hurriedly looked over to see Bai Ruozhu and the clan leader following closely behind; reinforcements had arrived!

”Bai Ruozhu, weren’t you blown to death?” You Meng asked in disbelief. He had clearly seen Bai Ruozhu step on a piece of the Fire-Thunder Formation, the strongest one, with flesh flying everywhere. How could she still be alive?

If he knew Bai Ruozhu had survived after breaking through the Jiuli’s most powerful Fire-Thunder Formation outside the entrance, he would never have wasted time with Jiang Yichun here.

”It was your five subordinates who got blown up, not me. I don’t die that easily,” Bai Ruozhu said, giving Jiang Yichun a reassuring look.

Jiang Yichun smiled at her, thoroughly examining her to ensure she wasn’t hurt, and felt relieved.

You Meng’s subordinates hurried to shield him, and someone suggested, ”Clan leader, there are many of them; you’d better leave first.”

The Third Elder slapped that person away, ”Trying to leave? It’s not that easy!”
