Chapter 625: 338 First Trial

Fang Yuxin saw that thing still moving and immediately felt even more disgusted. She raised her hand and shot out a flame towards the sticky substance on the blade. The flame instantly enveloped it, followed by an extremely piercing shriek coming from within the fire. She was astonished, how could something no bigger than a thumb make such a loud noise?

Just then, she suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air again! Unlike before, there were two sounds this time! The two sounds overlapped perfectly; if one’s ears were not sensitive enough, one wouldn’t be able to discern the subtle differences and would think there was only one sound!

Fang Yuxin listened to the direction from which the two sounds came and frowned. The two sounds were coming from two different directions, which meant the attacks were coming from two different directions! Furthermore, the directions were opposite each other with a distance between them, so even if she dodged, they wouldn’t collide!

Fang Yuxin moved even faster, her hands gripping the hilt of the sword and slashing fiercely into the mist before quickly turning around to slice again into the mist! Due to her incredible speed, "snap, snap" two sounds echoed. At the same time, the force transmitted through the hilt grew stronger and hit her palms, causing them to sting intensely.

However, she had just realized that she seemed to have chopped something down. Looking around at the thick mist, Fang Yuxin’s brow furrowed tighter—it couldn’t go on like this! She couldn’t see anything; it was too disadvantageous!

So the next moment, she immediately called out, "Red Powder," to reveal its true form. Upon her command, Red Powder immediately revealed its true form and formed a protective wall around her. Just then, Fang Yuxin received a thought from Red Powder: "Master, I’ve caught something!"

Fang Yuxin was startled at first but then remembered that what Red Powder had caught must be what she had just chopped off! Indeed, she hadn’t guessed wrong; once the thing was cut, it moved freely. She couldn’t help but be afraid; had she not called out Red Powder in time, she might have been ambushed!

Then she looked at the Blood Blade in her hands, or more precisely, at the red sticky substance on the blade. She had burned it with flame earlier, but it seemed to be resistant to fire burning unusually slowly. Though it was only the size of a thumb, it had been burning for a while, yet it hadn’t seemed to shrink at all, which was really strange.

At that time, another whooshing sound hit Red Powder’s protective wall, creating a "snap" noise. Following that, Fang Yuxin heard Red Powder wail, saying it was hurt. Red Powder had been with her for a while, and Fang Yuxin had come to consider it as family; now, hearing its pain, she felt distressed.

So, she simply asked Red Powder to lift her with its branches. Red Powder was very obedient and quickly did as instructed, even interweaving its branches to form a cylindrical platform on which Fang Yuxin stood. It seemed that the things in the fog were targeting her, as soon as she appeared, the whooshing sound was heard again. This time, there were three sounds, coming from three directions!

Fang Yuxin used the Blood Blade to slash again, taking down something from the three directions, and instructed Red Powder to grab them with its vines. This time, she finally saw a rough outline.

What was attacking her was a red, elongated object. The object was fired at an extremely high speed, and due to the fog, the sound it made was very faint; if Fang Yuxin hadn’t successfully achieved Foundation Establishment, with her exceptional hearing, she wouldn’t have been able to hear it.

The red object was very sticky, looked disgusting, had no smell, and was fire-resistant, which was very strange. It first shot out one, then two, then three, increasing in number each time.

Fang Yuxin could handle up to nine, but once there were ten, she couldn’t slash the last one in time. So, the attacks still came in tens, as if she were stuck at this stage in a game.

The red object hit her repeatedly, and it felt like being lashed with a thick, long whip—extremely uncomfortable. The attack was very powerful, and each time Fang Yuxin was whipped away, luckily, it was just a trial, so a new round of attacks started only when she stood up.

Had it been someone else, they would have been seriously injured, but Fang Yuxin had a Pure Wood Spirit Body, and her True Yuan could heal injuries. As soon as she was attacked, she would channel her True Yuan to the area to heal it. However, this meant that her True Yuan was constantly being depleted.
