Near the cliff opening, Luo Qingyao accelerated once more, rushing in directly without any hesitation.
She glanced ahead and shouted loudly,
"Senior Brother, there's a cliff ahead, we can't retreat even if we want to!"
Fan Wubing shook himself lightly off Luo Qingyao's back. He quickly observed the environment of this cliff opening, thoughts flashing through his mind, and soon came up with an idea,
"Junior Sister, can you chop down that protrusion on the left cliff wall?"
"Let me see!"
Luo Qingyao didn't ask much. Her celestial energy was focused in the Purple Mansion at her brow, a single move affecting her entire body, mobilizing all her meridians. A wave of energy expanded from around her, then she clapped her hands together, forming a seal and shouted,
"Go!"
The flying sword shot out from her brow like a leaping electric dragon, instantly striking the large rock protruding from the left cliff wall.
She continued her actions, controlling the flying sword to hit several points in succession.
Sword Qi poured into the interior of the rock from the impact points, rampaging forcefully. With a "crack" sound, the rock weighing thousands of pounds was cut in half, the cut being smooth and even.
Fan Wubing swallowed hard,
Is this what a Sword Cultivator is like?
He turned his head to look at Luo Qingyao, who smiled dazzlingly, with crescent-moon-like eyebrows and eyes squeezed into slits, her bright pupils shining like stars, completely different from how she was controlling the flying sword earlier.
The boulder crashed down, narrowing the opening that could accommodate three Barbaric Blood Pigs side by side to only two.
Seeing the herd of pigs charging aggressively, Fan Wubing shouted loudly,
"Junior Sister, get ready. I'll hold the front; you just attack from behind me!"
Luo Qingyao hesitated a moment,
"Is this Senior Brother's plan? Even though they're Profound Demons and have been weakened a lot, their wild charge isn't something ordinary people can withstand."
Fan Wubing spread his legs, taking half a horse stance, and said with his back to Luo Qingyao,
"Do I look like an ordinary person?"
Indeed, he did not. Luo Qingyao had long thought so, no ordinary person's aura was so resilient, even more so than those who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, letting Senior Brother bear the damage in front while she hid behind... clearly, she had promised to protect him before... She gritted her teeth,
"Alright."
The dust rolled up, and even the ground trembled due to the wild charge of the Barbaric Blood Pig herd.
Honestly, the scene was quite shocking, just like facing a sandstorm directly. Fan Wubing gritted his teeth, strengthening his resolve, unwavering.
The herd of pigs, with blood-red eyes wide open, unleashed overwhelming hatred with no reservations, not slowing down even as they approached the cliff, recklessly charging forward.
Bam!
The first collision sounded like a huge explosion, causing stones and sand to scatter from the cliff wall.
A Barbaric Blood Pig rushed into the opening ferociously.
They must not let any Barbaric Blood Pig rush in; if one gets through, it would mean the rest will follow one after another. Facing an entire herd of Barbaric Blood Pigs would be a dead-end. They must guard this opening!
Fan Wubing shouted,
"Junior Sister, watch me!"
He crossed his arms, stacking them in front of his chest, and pushed forward fiercely.
The moment his arms braced against the Barbaric Blood Pig's charge, the immense impact force pushed Fan Wubing back, while at the same time, notifications popped up,
[You received an attack, lost 50.3 health points, current health points are 553.5]
[Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill active, recovering 0.63 health points per second]
[+0.63]
Each collision lost 50.3 health points, recovering 0.63 health points a second, it would take about 80 seconds to recover from one collision. The opening was very narrow, the pig herd outside was quite congested, obviously losing order, all trying to push through here, causing their acceleration distance to shorten, making the damage from subsequent collisions continue to decrease.
As long as they withstand the first few rounds, it will get easier later on!
They can endure this!
Fan Wubing, rich in experience, knew that such irrational demon beasts were merely slightly more powerful beasts.
He changed his arms from crossed to dragging, yanking the pig head to the side abruptly. The Barbaric Blood Pig immediately lost its balance, crashing towards the cliff wall on the side.
Behind him, Luo Qingyao's battle instincts were also sharp. The moment the Barbaric Blood Pig hit the cliff, her flying sword flashed, piercing through its head, killing it instantly.
"Senior Brother, are you alright?"
Fan Wubing turned his head with a big smile,
"Do I look like something's wrong?"
"Here they come again!"
Fan Wubing quickly repeated his actions, using the same method: first withstand the attack, then deflect the force, and finally guide it.
The main point was to receive, deflect, and release!
One after another, the frenzied, rabid Barbaric Blood Pig Demons charged into the gap.
Fan Wubing used the same strategy to engage the enemy, and the development of the situation was almost as he predicted. The Barbaric Blood Pig herd densely packed together, causing the ones at the back to lack the distance needed to accelerate, further reducing the damage from their charges.
Meanwhile, Luo Qingyao's flying sword was like a scythe cutting through grass, killing each pig that came. As long as she didn't face too many at once, she was invincible.
Later on, the pile of pig corpses was so large that Fan Wubing even had to take time to throw the bodies back to prevent the gap from being blocked, so the remaining pig demons could still get in.
Watching the points on her Sect Token rise rapidly, Luo Qingyao's face twitched; who would have thought that while they were frantically fighting for life fifteen minutes ago, they would be mowing down enemies like this now.
With Fan Wubing holding the front, she didn't have to do much, just standing there controlling the flying sword was enough.
She even had time to ponder why this senior brother, who had not a trace of immortal aura, could fight better than a lower-tier Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
The most puzzling was how he could withstand the collisions of the Barbaric Blood Pig Demons without falling. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster, known for refining their body, couldn't do that.
Yet this senior brother, not only didn't fall, he seemed to be getting more and more energized! Just standing while controlling the flying sword was tiring for her, yet he didn't seem affected at all!
What kind of terrifying recovery ability was this?
Could it be that the senior brother had planned this from the start, specifically killing the parents of this pig herd and then cooking them right in front of their eyes, deliberately inciting hatred, driving them to madness, and leading them into this desperate situation?
Luo Qingyao clenched her fists, her eyes shining... Senior brother, is this your plan!
In total, thirty-seven Barbaric Blood Pig Demons charged into the gap one by one, directly maxing out Luo Qingyao's score.
Each Tier Two Profound Demon counted for 5 points, and including the previous two, it totaled exactly 195 points!
Luo Qingyao opened the leaderboard in the Token, unsurprisingly finding herself in first place, completely crushing Sun Xiuming's 150 points!
...
Sun Xiuming and his companions followed the Barbaric Blood Pig herd, just passing through the forest to reach the wasteland cliffs, witnessing a scene of flying sand and dust in the distance.
The frenzied pig herd stomped with earth-shaking momentum, immediately halting their steps, fearing to advance further.
Going in like this, they'd probably be trampled into mush in a few breaths.
"It's over. Ahead is the cliff, it looks like Fan Wubing and Luo Qingyao have no escape, completely blocked by the Barbaric Blood Pig herd." The short and thin youth He Chen slightly curled his lips, "With the temperament of these pigs, it seems they're being madly trampled. Alas, they're likely to be turned into pulp."
He Chen's voice was eerie,
"Brother Sun, do we still go to rescue?"
Sun Xiuming clenched his teeth. Although he had a fondness for Luo Qingyao, concerning his own safety, how could he dare to rush into such danger? Thirty-something frenzied Tier Two Profound Demons, even a high-level Foundation Establishment Cultivator would come close to losing half their life.
At this moment, someone exclaimed,
"No, look at the leaderboard!"
The new recruits all opened their tokens to check the leaderboard and saw a name crazily advancing with incredible speed!
+5, +5, +5…
"Wha- what's going on?!"
"The Barbaric Blood Pigs are Tier Two Profound Demons. One Tier Two Profound Demon is worth 5 points, which means Luo Qingyao and Fan Wubing are furiously hunting those Barbaric Blood Pigs!"
"How could it be? There are over thirty completely frenzied Barbaric Blood Pigs! They wouldn't feel pain, bent on perishing together with their enemies!"
Until ahead, there was no more sound, but the drifting dust still surrounded the wasteland in front.
"Stopped… Luo Qingyao's score isn't rising anymore."
"Gone, dead?"
"Yeah, the Barbaric Blood Pigs are all dead. She had 10 points before, now it's 195 points, which means all thirty-seven Barbaric Blood Pigs were dealt with."
Sss—
For a moment, everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter.
