Chapter 894

Seeing that the vital energy in her meridians had been depleted, Zhang Xiaohua formed a seal and quickly retrieved the Dragon Binding Bracelet. Her vital energy was already depleted and even her divine sense was a little weak. If Xi Mujun were to use some unfathomable method to capture her treasure, she would be in deep despair.

Was there a need to explain the current situation?

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't care less about the secrets of the Way of the Immortals or killing Xi Mujun on the spot. Just as she was about to form a seal, she wanted to burrow into the ground. Unfortunately, the seal hadn't been completed and her vital energy couldn't be released. Xi Mujun's eyes revealed a murderous glint as he swung the Purple Phoenix Hairpin in his hand towards Zhang Xiaohua. "Good girl!"

Zhang Xiaohua cried out in her heart. She immediately executed the Ethereal Steps and charged towards the dense forest in front of her!

As she charged forward like a headless fly, Zhang Xiaohua secretly admired her luck. "Fortunately, I was on good terms with Ou Peng back then and learned the first three stages of the Ethereal Steps. This is a movement technique that doesn't require vital energy to execute. If I put all my eggs into the basket of vital energy, sigh, I won't be able to escape today!"

Just as she thought of this, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She didn't have time to turn around and immediately dodged to the side. With a loud "kacha", an extremely thin streak of lightning struck a large tree at the side. That tree was immediately cut in half.

"This … What kind of weapon is this?" Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. "Why don't I have the luck to pick this up?"

Another round of chaos ensued. Even though Zhang Xiaohua had the Ethereal Steps to escape, Xi Mujun's qinggong was even more outstanding. He was able to follow behind her effortlessly. If it wasn't for the Purple Phoenix Hairpin, he would have caught up to Zhang Xiaohua long ago.

Even though using the Purple Phoenix Hairpin required a lot of effort, it was also Zhang Xiaohua's only nemesis. Xi Mujun was very clear that if he switched to a longsword, Zhang Xiaohua might just turn around and trap him with the ring-like object. He wouldn't be able to dodge it even if he wanted to.

Zhang Xiaohua was in a dangerous situation but Xi Mujun controlled the Purple Phoenix Hairpin with his wrist. It was completely different from the divine sense used by cultivators of the Way of the Immortals. Hence, Xi Mujun couldn't hit Zhang Xiaohua easily. He only managed to hit Zhang Xiaohua occasionally and Zhang Xiaohua would be able to dodge.

Of course, even so, Zhang Xiaohua was still struck by the Purple Phoenix Hairpin a few times on his sleeves and back!

However, Zhang Xiaohua still had Elder Huo's long robe on her. Even though the long robe hadn't been refined by Zhang Xiaohua and couldn't unleash a hundred percent of its defense, it was still able to block sixty percent of the lightning's power!

However, just the remaining forty percent was enough for Zhang Xiaohua to suffer. It was as if she had been pierced by a longsword. She felt a piercing pain in her heart!

Her internal organs were also aching faintly.

"This … What should I do?"

Zhang Xiaohua realized that running around wasn't of any use. She couldn't help but think to herself, "The only thing I can do now is to escape through the earth. As long as I go underground, this guy won't be able to find me. As for him returning to Lingxiang Peak to report to the Sect Leader, I can't be bothered about that now.

However, if I escape through the earth, I need to recover my vital energy first. How can I recover while running? "

Just as she was thinking, Zhang Xiaohua thought about the Crimson Spiritual Protection that she had just refined. That item had just been refined and there should still be vital energy inside. If she used it now, she might be able to buy herself some time.

Hence, Zhang Xiaohua twisted her body and dodged the lightning. She took out the Crimson Spiritual Protection and chanted the incantation in her heart. Her hands secretly formed a seal. As expected, there was a lot of vital energy inside the Crimson Spiritual Protection. Zhang Xiaohua only needed to insert a strand of vital energy into the Crimson Spiritual Protection to control it.

Zhang Xiaohua ran forward again and arrived at a dry open space. Zhang Xiaohua tossed the Crimson Spiritual Protection into the air and it hovered above Zhang Xiaohua's head. Zhang Xiaohua sat down cross-legged and formed a seal on the Crimson Spiritual Protection. With a "shua" sound, a ring of crimson light poured down from the top of Zhang Xiaohua's head like a waterfall. It protected Zhang Xiaohua's entire body!

"Eh?"

Xi Mujun, who had chased after Zhang Xiaohua, was shocked. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua acting like a stray dog, he thought that Zhang Xiaohua no longer had the strength to fight back. He thought that he could capture Zhang Xiaohua as long as he fought steadily. However, such a strange item had appeared. How could he not be shocked?

Xi Mujun didn't reply. He swung the Purple Phoenix Hairpin and another bolt of lightning shot out. With a "zap" sound, it landed on the radiance released by the Crimson Spiritual Protection. However, that bolt of lightning was immediately annihilated. It seemed to have no effect on the radiance.

"This …" Xi Mujun was a little surprised. Even though he didn't seem to be a cultivator of the Immortal Dao, this Purple Phoenix Hairpin was a famous magic treasure of the Immortal Dao. It was given to him by the previous Sect Master to console Abbess Jing Gang. Xi Mujun had never used it before. He had occasionally used it during the Orchid Evening Refinement and was invincible.

However, a smile appeared on Xi Mujun's face after a short while. Although the Crimson Spiritual Protection was somewhat powerful, it was only a defense after all. As long as he continued to attack, it would definitely be broken. The moment the Crimson Spiritual Protection was broken would be the moment Zhang Xiaohua would be killed.

Zhang Xiaohua was in a difficult position when she saw Xi Mujun's continuous attacks. Even though there weren't any ripples when the lightning struck the radiance, it consumed a lot of vital energy. Under Xi Mujun's attacks, Zhang Xiaohua would be … killed sooner or later!

As Zhang Xiaohua racked her brains to come up with a plan to defeat the enemy, she seized the opportunity to absorb vital energy from the vital stone. She wanted to use the Earth Escape technique before the Crimson Spiritual Protection was broken.

Not only Zhang Xiaohua, but even Xi Mujun's face turned pale. How was this a martial arts competition?

This was simply a competition to see who had more money!

The vital stone in Xi Mujun's hand was also being drained of vital energy by Xi Mujun using the Incense Sect's secret technique. The vital stone was gradually turning white and the vital energy inside was also gradually decreasing!

After another moment of confrontation, Zhang Xiaohua's meridians had already accumulated enough vital energy for the Earth Escape technique. Zhang Xiaohua laughed heartily. She didn't even get up. She formed a hand seal and went underground. Before she left, she waved her hand and kept the Crimson Spiritual Protection.

When Xi Mujun saw Zhang Xiaohua disappear from her original spot, he was jealous and gritted his teeth. "I wonder which Heavenly King's disciple is this fellow from the Tenryū Sect. He's already so powerful at such a young age. He has so many weapons and even knows the Earth Escape technique. How powerful will he be when he grows up?

If I don't get rid of him now, when will I be able to? "

When he thought of this, Xi Mujun gave up on the idea of capturing her. He spat out another mouthful of blood and it landed on the vital stone in his hand. He exerted more force with the Purple Phoenix Hairpin and pierced it towards the spot where Zhang Xiaohua was just standing.

Crack! A bolt of lightning that was even thinner than the previous one, but it was faintly purple in color. It struck the spot where Zhang Xiaohua had disappeared.

Zhang Xiaohua was unlucky. The vital energy that she had accumulated was only enough for her to use the Earth Escape technique once. After she went underground, the traces of her vital energy had yet to disappear completely. Xi Mujun's bolt of lightning struck the vital energy. The bolt of lightning followed the vital energy into the ground and struck Zhang Xiaohua's thin, light green light shield.

Needless to say, Zhang Xiaohua was forced out of the ground with a loud bang.

"Haha ~" Before Zhang Xiaohua could stop laughing arrogantly, she awkwardly looked at Xi Mujun, who was grinning sinisterly in front of her. Her laughter was like a duck that had its throat cut off. Then, Zhang Xiaohua fumbled around in her clothes.

There was no need for the Dragon Binding Ring and the Crimson Spiritual Protection. She had no vital energy to activate them. As for the small sword, she couldn't even break his long sword. It was better not to take it out and embarrass herself.

In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua felt that she had run out of tricks.

Unknowingly, Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and a golden hairpin that looked exactly the same as the one in Xi Mujun's hand appeared. "Eh?

The Purple Phoenix Hairpin!!! "

Xi Mujun had been watching carefully the entire time. He saw the golden hairpin at a glance and his eyes widened in anger. He shouted, "Ren Xiaoyao, you … you really did it. Yue Laosan really died in your hands!"

"Aiyo!" Zhang Xiaohua immediately kept it and cried out, "I took it out wrong, it was a mistake, a mistake."

Then, the small mirror appeared in her hand.

When Xi Mujun saw the other Purple Phoenix Hairpin, he knew that Yue Zhuoqun had died in Zhang Xiaohua's hands. His heart was filled with hatred. He waved the Purple Phoenix Hairpin in his hand and attacked again.

Zhang Xiaohua was about to keep the small mirror in her hand when she saw the faint purple lightning approaching. Without thinking, she blocked it in front of her. "Pow!" Coincidentally, the lightning struck the small mirror. "This is bad." Zhang Xiaohua's hand sank. She thought to herself, "This small mirror of unknown use is finished."

Unexpectedly, when the faint purple lightning struck the surface of the small mirror, there was a flash of light. The small mirror did not change at all. However, the lightning was deflected back.

The speed of the lightning was as fast as before!

Zhang Xiaohua did not expect such an unforeseen event. Xi Mujun was even more surprised. Zhang Xiaohua had an immortal technique to resist the lightning but Xi Mujun did not. He screamed, "Aiyo!" Xi Mujun did not even have time to dodge. The lightning struck his head.

In an instant, Xi Mujun's head was filled with faint purple arcs of light. They were small and concentrated.

Following which, there was a loud bang and Xi Mujun's head exploded like a ripe watermelon!

"It can't be, it's so bloody?" Zhang Xiaohua was also shocked. She floated and dodged the rain of blood.

When Zhang Xiaohua landed beside him, Xi Mujun's headless corpse also fell to the ground with a loud thud!

Xi Mujun!

The eldest disciple of Rui Jin Hall with a bright future had died just like that!

Seeing that Xi Mujun had died, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly. She felt relieved. She looked around and found a secluded mountain rock. Then, she immediately closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing.
