Chapter 382: Notable Gains
After a breath, the woman smiled gently.
Against the backdrop of her silver battle attire, she resembled a blooming night-blooming cereus, stunning and beautiful.
"The earlier agreement is naturally still valid."
"Since junior brother helped me take down the Hua Family and obtained the Fire Spiritual Fruit, as your senior sister, I cannot go back on my word."
"Junior brother, you can rest assured."
Li Buyu retracted her smile, stretched out her delicate hand, picked a bright red Fire Spiritual Fruit, and personally handed it over.
"Thank you, senior sister."
Hearing her words, Liu Yu still did not dare to relax.
Only after taking the Fire Spiritual Fruit, placing it in the jade box, and storing it in his storage bag did he feel a little at ease.
"You're too polite. This is what junior brother deserves; there's no need for thanks."
Li Buyu said this and then reached out to pick the remaining two Fire Spiritual Fruits, storing them in her storage bag.
Though she carefully scrutinized the herb garden, looking at the rare spiritual herbs, she frowned and said:
"These can be collected later; right now, we should first deal with the remaining cultivators of the Hua Family."
"Junior brother, let's go."
Seeing that this woman had not noticed anything unusual, Liu Yu smirked slightly, then nodded slightly, and walked out of the spiritual herb garden with her.
"Poof, poof."
The lake water closed in, and the exit of the herb garden vanished.
The moment they stepped out of the spiritual herb garden, Liu Yu released his spiritual consciousness and quickly swept across Sweet Spring Mountain.
After another period of time, their side’s foundation establishment level had already gained an overwhelming advantage.
One by one, cultivators began to free themselves to participate in the siege. The Hua Family, once formidable, was now down to only five remaining cultivators.
Without the mountain protection formation, the remaining restrictions were ultimately limited and could not hold out much longer.
After Liu Yu intervened, the formation of the Hua Family's qi refinement stage cultivators was in disarray, leading to a rapid collapse.
Their declining morale had reached an irretrievable point, and they were utterly defeated, fleeing in all directions.
Around this spiritual mountain, the sounds of dueling magic could be heard everywhere.
This situation was expected; there were no surprises.
Next, Liu Yu did not intervene any further; he only focused on the situations of Leng Yuexin, Xiao Chong, and others to prevent casualties in his own team.
...
"Whoosh~"
A youth of about seventeen or eighteen, with a delicate face, was panting as he ran through the forest, fleeing in a panic.
Occasionally glancing back, his expression was extremely flustered.
He was drenched in sweat, carrying significant injuries, but dared not stop for even a moment.
Suddenly, a fireball the size of a human head shot towards him from the left front, exuding intense heat.
"Bang!"
The boy noticed the fireball, but his magical power was nearly depleted, forcing him to roll hurriedly to the ground, narrowly dodging the attack.
This tumble left him covered in mud, his clothes torn by thorns, and his skin bloodied.
But he had no time to clean himself; he could only look ahead in terror, where a dreadful figure was approaching.
"No, please!"
"I don't want to die~"
"Please, spare me!"
The boy had only reached the third layer of qi refinement and could not even control a magical artifact.
Since the battle at Sweet Spring Mountain, his magical power was nearly exhausted, leaving him with almost no ability to resist.
His fighting spirit had also been worn down by the upheaval in his family and this relentless pursuit.
Now, all that remained was the desire to survive.
As long as he could continue living, he was willing to be a beast of burden; he would do anything!
"Haha~"
The approaching figure coldly laughed, showing no mercy at the boy's pleas.
With a wave of the hand, several ice spikes shot out!
"Ah~!"
The boy looked on in horror as the ice spikes drew closer, until one pierced through his body, followed by an indescribable pain.
