Chapter 129: Chapter 116 Plotting (Two in One)_2

Chilly gazes swept across, as Ran Qingmo slowly turned to look behind her.

Unlike the ruined pavilions and terraces, the immense cherry tree located at the center of the lake remained intact, as if it had been untouched by the catastrophic aftermath of the battle between Tianyan and the madwoman. Even the platform below did not bear a single pit or hole.

Ran Qingmo stared at the withered Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree for a few moments before slowly walking around it.

As she moved, the chill emanating from the sword’s blade spread, visibly freezing the surrounding lake water along with the corpses of the leeches inside.

Completing the circle, she finally stopped at the entrance of the tree hollow and stood quietly.

Half an hour later, the glow above the Black Sword’s blade had reached its peak.

Ran Qingmo lifted her jade hand gently, then suddenly swung it with force.

The sword tip, like a paintbrush,

traced through the air, creating a line that seemed like a seam in space itself!

In just an instant,

the line skimmed dozens of meters and imprinted onto the massive trunk of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree!

The icy cold spread rapidly across the trunk of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree,

and at the same time,

the frozen lake water surged, and eight immense ice spikes shot out, plunging straight toward the giant cherry tree at the center!!!

"Boom—"

Wood chips flew in all directions, and as one came back to their senses, the center of the Sakura Leech Lake had turned into an ice crystal hell.

Halved from the midsection, the huge body of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree leaked crimson sap, which was immediately frozen by the ice shards; eight points along the trunk were completely pierced by the gigantic ice spikes that had spread from the lake!

Chilling cold spread from the points where the ice spikes made contact, moving up and down the trunk.

In an instant, the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree had become a colossal ice sculpture!

But seeing this scene, Ran Qingmo’s expression did not relax in the slightest; instead, her serene eyes grew more solemn.

This Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree had not been cut through by her...

...

...

Time ticked away, second by second.

After Tianyan ceased its attack, choosing to entrench and defend, the battle situation inside the Tianyu Dojo suddenly became one-sided.

But all these were temporarily irrelevant to Xu Yuan.

Because the madwoman would not attack him before he made a move.

Maintaining his composure, Xu Yuan stood behind the woman in red, watching with interest the barefoot girl twenty Zhang away, whose beauty could overturn states.

After fifteen minutes, Tianyan’s small face had turned extremely pale, but a sickly flush of red also faintly surfaced on her cheeks.

The Enchantress Divine Flower had not spread, but the seductive air filling the dojo seemed to deepen her intoxication.

A Second Grade Primordial Realm power indeed could threaten a Mortal Transcendence at certain moments, yet the enormous chasm between them was still despairing, especially once a Mortal Transcendence opened their dao field.

Normal Primordial Realm powers under such assault from a Mortal Transcendence would likely perish in an instant; that Tianyan could defend without attacking for such a long time already proved the terrifying prowess of the Yantian Art.

However, the Yantian Art was not invincible. Once the fight became a war of attrition, it would turn into a competition of Origin Qi reserve.

Tianyan, while casting one spell after another, now had a slight tremble in her voice:

"Xu Changtian, you... hurry up," she urged.

Xu Yuan smiled at her slightly, "Don’t worry, it’ll be over soon."

Tianyan grew somewhat frantic, "This... this is the third time you’ve said that!!"

Hearing her words, Xu Yuan shook his head, cutting off the communication, and asked in his mind:

"Old Man Luo, are you ready?"

The Saint’s Remnant Soul replied cheerfully:

"It’s been fifteen minutes already, of course, I’m ready."

The Saint’s Remnant Soul relaxed completely upon realizing that the madwoman did not attack even when they activated the Soul Formula.

Xu Yuan raised his eyes to look at the pale-faced Tianyan:

"How long do you think Tianyan can hold on?" he inquired.

The Saint’s Remnant Soul pondered briefly, then chuckled softly:

"Even without leaking the sound transmission, the girl should still have a bit of time. Are you planning to wait until she can no longer withstand it before you make your move?"

"....."

Xu Yuan looked at Tianyan and the madwoman but did not immediately reply.

Currently, among the three parties on the field, they might have the most people, but they were also the weakest.

Tianyan and the madwoman were both their enemies; either of them could almost effortlessly overwhelm both Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo.

To successfully leave this Secret Realm, they would have to let the two enemies fight each other.

It did not matter to Xu Yuan who was the knife between the madwoman and Tianyan.

What concerned him was making sure that while killing one, he would also need to render the other incapable.

After some deliberation, Xu Yuan made a decision:

"Then let’s wait a little longer. If Tianyan truly can’t hold on, she definitely won’t obediently sit and wait for death. Since we haven’t heard from Ran Qingmo yet, we’ll wait until she’s about to..."

"I heard that! Xu Changtian you bastard! I heard everything!"

"...." Xu Yuan.

Looking back, the girl’s entire face had turned dark.

Ah?

She could hear us from that far away?

Xu Yuan wore a strange expression, asking the Saint’s Remnant Soul in his mind:

"She can hear our conversation from so far away?"

"Twenty-some Zhang isn’t too far..."

He paused, then the Saint’s Remnant Soul chuckled and said:

"But it’s not close either. The girl is using Yantian Art to eavesdrop on our conversation from so far away, she must still have plenty of energy left, tsk tsk... Look at that little face, so white and red, she’s probably pretending."

"..." Tianyan.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately focused his gaze on Tianyan’s pale complexion.

As their eyes met across the distance, the girl glared at Xu Yuan fiercely.

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes at her.

Turns out small-chested women are not so easily deceived.
