She Dominates the Immortal Realm with Her HP Bar-Chapter 33

Being pummeled by Little Master Jing Xuan and forcibly "enlightened" with a physical version of the Buddha's mercy, the lynx-like beast finally couldn't bear it any longer.

It stubbornly endured the rain of fists on its forehead, opened its blood - filled jaws wide behind it, and bared its sharp, glinting fangs.

This strange beast was quite peculiar. Not only was its whole body stained with a layer of filthy blood - colored substance as if its skin was being peeled off, but even its fangs were scarlet red, exuding a strange and eerie aura that was hard to look at directly.

The lynx managed to bite, but it forced the little nun to take a step back, and her face changed slightly.

No one knew what was strange about this beast's mouth, but it even made Little Master Jing Xuan feel wary.

Although the lynx - like beast had forced the little nun back, the beating it had taken from the fists was no easy thing to endure.

Seeing that Little Master Jing Xuan didn't seem to be launching an immediate strong attack, it also backed up a few steps into the cave behind it. For the moment, a sort of truce was reached between the two sides.

Yan Luoyue noticed that the lynx arched its back and lowered its front limbs, assuming a posture of readying itself for an attack.

It seemed that both sides were just taking a short rest and were going to fight again soon.

In the blink of an eye, the little nun turned her head and glanced at Yan Luoyue.

That glance was completely calm, as ordinary as having a meal or drinking water. It was as if Jing Xuan wasn't making a life - and - death decision but just reciting the morning prayers in the nunnery as usual.

"Little benefactor," Little Master Jing Xuan twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand, and the golden light flickering on her body became even brighter than before.

"Please, little benefactor, run straight ahead without looking back. Later, I'll lead this evil creature deep into the cave."

Although her expression was calm, the ominous feeling revealed in her words was almost chilling.

Hearing this, Yan Luoyue's heart skipped a beat.

"Master, is this beast very difficult to deal with?"

Jing Xuan was busy catching her breath, so she took a half - beat longer to answer.

"Benefactor, you don't know. This is not an ordinary beast but a demonic creature. This evil thing has comparable cultivation, is extremely vicious, and is covered in poison..."

No wonder Little Master Jing Xuan had wrapped her fists in gloves.

Presumably, there were some small wounds on her hands, and she did this to avoid touching the lynx's poisonous fur.

Yan Luoyue keenly pursued the topic: "So you can't handle it, and you're planning to fight it to the death with it?"

"..."

Jing Xuan finally realized that after she had explained the situation of the demonic creature, Yan Luoyue was still asking questions and didn't show any sign of fear or the intention to run away. What was going on? Was this kid's head squeezed by a door?

And how did her parents teach her? How could someone talk like this and just ruin the conversation!

Jing Xuan opened her mouth, but all the set phrases she had memorized in the nunnery didn't seem appropriate for this situation.

So, she simply followed her true feelings and angrily cursed in a Buddhist - like way.

"May the Eighteen Arhats break their vows on its father!"

The little nun instantly changed her expression like in Sichuan opera: "— Just run when I tell you to. You're young, but you talk too much. If I could beat it, would I need to urge you to run?!"

Yan Luoyue: "..."

Yan Luoyue bravely wiped her face, enduring the "Buddhist language" scolding from Little Master Jing Xuan.

She coughed and tactfully offered a suggestion:

"I mean, is there a possibility that instead of fighting it to the death, we can choose to run away together?"

As she spoke, Yan Luoyue rummaged through her storage bag and took out what she wanted.

"Here, this gas mask is for you. Put it on, little master."

At this time, Yan Luoyue was holding a gas mask in each hand, one large and one small.

Yan Luoyue finally fully presented her tactical idea: "Later, throw the palm - sized thunder bombs at it, and then you pick me up and run right away."

Shen Jingxuan suspiciously sized up those palm - sized thunder bombs but still nodded non - committedly.

As soon as they put on the gas masks, the lynx sensed something was wrong.

Without waiting to fully recover its strength, this demonic creature leaped towards the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Jingxuan bent her arm and immediately picked up the very light and small Yan Luoyue, tucking her under her armpit like a leather briefcase.

This was a very convenient posture.

If the situation changed, Shen Jingxuan could easily throw this child to a safe distance like discarding a small briefcase and then turn back to face the chasing lynx.

At the same time, an improved version of the palm - sized thunder bomb, inspired by the defense mechanism of a weasel, rolled onto the ground and exploded in all directions in the narrow cave.

In an instant, a shrill and desperate howl of the lynx came from the thick yellow fog.

Inside the long and narrow cave passage, the young nun pounded the ground with her feet and went on a wild dash, cursing as she ran.

"Damn it! Buddha, why does it stink so badly here!"

Yan Luoyue replied in a muffled voice, "Talk less, and you'll smell less of it."

In response to this suggestion, the highly - enlightened nun flat - out rejected it. "Young benefactor, have you ever heard the saying 'Endure for a moment, and your anger will soar to the sky; take a step back, and evils will abound'?"

Yan Luoyue: "..."

Leaving other things aside, if this was the result of the Dharma master's enlightenment, then Yan Luoyue kind of understood why Shui Lian Nunnery had expelled her.

Yan Luoyue could almost picture the scene: The other nuns in Shui Lian Nunnery all achieved the state of "The Buddha with a gentle frown."

But this novice nun, Shen Jingxuan, was unique and achieved the state of "The Vajra with an angry glare" on the spot!

The path in the cave was long, narrow, and winding. Shen Jingxuan carried Yan Luoyue and ran like the wind, yet the enraged howls of the lynx always seemed to follow them like a shadow.

Finally, one time when Shen Jingxuan hurriedly rounded a corner, the enraged demonic beast, covered in a lingering and eerie stench, blocked their way like a blood - red figure that silently lands on the bedside in the dead of night, looking as terrifying as a ghost!

Shen Jingxuan, who was about to vomit from running, was utterly confused. "Did it come from behind us?"

Yan Luoyue, being carried, still kept a relatively calm head.

"No. Once before, its voice came from above us... It must have taken a shortcut in the cave."

But in any case, at this moment, the two of them were face - to - face with the lynx again!

They couldn't retreat because there were the palm thunder blasts that Yan Luoyue had set off behind them.

Nor could they advance easily because right in front of them was the lynx's blood - filled, stinking, and venomous mouth. Trapped in this dilemma, Shen Jingxuan frowned as she held Yan Luoyue.

She looked around and suddenly lifted Yan Luoyue up with both hands, stood on tiptoe, and stuffed the child with great effort into a small hole eroded by the wind in the rock above her head.

"Hold on tight, young benefactor!" Shen Jingxuan nervously warned Yan Luoyue. "Don't move around. This place isn't very spacious..."

Before she could finish speaking, the chubby little girl in front of her suddenly transformed into a tiny turtle no bigger than a palm.

That rocky nook, which was extremely cramped for a child, was incredibly spacious for a little turtle.

Shen Jingxuan: "..."

So, it turned out that this little girl was a member of the demon race?

If she had known earlier, she could have just let her turn into a little turtle and stuffed her into her bosom and left.

This thought only flashed through Shen Jingxuan's mind for a moment when a foul and stinking gust of wind swept past her ear.

Pressing the gas mask tightly on her face, Shen Jingxuan dodged the attack.

When she looked up, she found that the little turtle hiding in the cave ceiling had somehow transformed back into a human, and was kicking her short legs back and forth, trying hard to catch her attention.

"Catch this!" Yan Luoyue shouted before Shen Jingxuan could say anything, and at the same time, she threw a wooden hairpin over.

"Try to stab it into the demon's wound! If you can get it in, we'll win big!"

This hairpin was, of course, the reservoir of the magic item.

Although Shen Jingxuan was puzzled, she still caught the seemingly ordinary - looking wooden hairpin firmly.

When she was expelled from Shui Lian Nunnery and left the sect, she was penniless. All she had on her was a washed - out gray monk's robe and a pair of straw sandals.

Although this little demon girl was a stranger she had just met, based on her years of experience of watching other senior nuns interpreting oracle sticks for pilgrims, Shen Jingxuan judged that this little turtle girl must be very rich, extremely rich.

So, this hairpin must be an extraordinary magical tool.

When she was empty - handed, Shen Jingxuan didn't show the slightest sign of backing down. Now that she had this magical treasure in hand, she became even more energetic.

At this moment, on one side was the demonic beast, driven mad by the stench and bent on hunting and revenge.

On the other side was the fearless demon - subduing nun, who spoke rather aggressively, with both Buddhist chants and expletives flying out of her mouth.

The two sides grappled with each other and actually fought to a standstill.

Finally, one time, Shen Jingxuan's fist, like that of a vajra, landed on the lynx's lumbar bone, and taking advantage of this, she stabbed the wooden hairpin deep into the demon's flesh.

The lynx, stabbed by the hairpin in its waist, was even more enraged by the pain.

Its cruel and cunning nature made it understand that in this brutal confrontation, if it fell, it would be hard to get up again, and if it showed the slightest sign of weakness, it would face death.

So, it had to make these two intruders fall, and make them die.

The next moment, the exotic beast, a lynx, let out an extremely human - like roar at Shen Jingxuan.

On its shoulder, which had been slit open with a gash, the muscles twitched, and a column of blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing all over Shen Jingxuan's head and face!

The blood trickled down along the gas mask on Shen Jingxuan's face. Shen Jingxuan reached up to touch it, and her expression gradually changed.

It turned out that during the fight just now, there was a cut about an inch long on Shen Jingxuan's scalp, which had just started to grow stubble.

Due to the intense battle, Shen Jingxuan hadn't noticed it.

It was not until the lynx's poisonous blood splashed on her that she felt something was different.

Only then did Shen Jingxuan realize that she had actually been exposing such a fatal vulnerability all along.

If the toxin had invaded from elsewhere, Shen Jingxuan could have gritted her teeth and cut off one of her legs or an arm.

But since the wound was on her scalp and had been contaminated by the poisonous blood, there was nothing she could do about it.

Taking two steps back, Shen Jingxuan lowered her hand.

Under the mask, her originally irate expression gradually calmed down.

The young nun slowly took two steps back and picked Yan Luoyue out of the stone niche on her head.

Just when Yan Luoyue thought Shen Jingxuan was going to withdraw temporarily to make time to force out the poison...

Seeing the young master lift her up, Yan Luoyue heard her shout, "Run!" Then, she clenched her fists and charged forward, a hundred times more valiant than before!

With just one punch, Shen Jingxuan sent the lynx's blood - red head flying into the air.

Because the flesh under its chin was quite chewy, the head even bounced up a little.

Yan Luoyue: "!!!"

"Want to die?" Shen Jingxuan roared as a golden shadow emerged behind her. "Fine, then, let's do it together! Oh, good, evil creature, quickly offer your life to this poor nun!"

The shadow had four arms. One hand held a purple - gold alms bowl, one hand grasped a demon - subduing pestle, one hand clutched a trident, and one hand held a knife. It had an angry face and was surrounded by lightning. It was clearly a Demon - Subduing Vajra!

Yan Luoyue: "..."

The master is so fierce!

Once such a powerful move was unleashed, it would surely cost one's essence and blood.

But the thing was, from the moment the hairpin was stabbed into the wound, they were bound to win. There was no need for such a move that would harm the enemy by ten thousand but cost oneself eight thousand.

Yan Luoyue gasped in shock and quickly waved her little arms, trying to stop the fight. "No, young master, it's not necessary, really not necessary..."

If one adjusted one's breath to channel the internal energy, the toxin wouldn't spread so quickly.

Moreover, Yan Luoyue had brought antidote pills with her. Although they might not be the right remedy, they could at least delay the spread of the poison.

Her voice indirectly reminded Shen Jingxuan.

The young nun turned to look at Yan Luoyue. The Vajra shadow behind her gradually faded, but her eyebrows knitted together.

"Little benefactor, why aren't you running?"

"..." Yan Luoyue paused for a moment and said very confidently, "I'm a turtle. I'm just born slow at running!"

Shen Jingxuan: "..."

This reason was too hard - core.

For a moment, she was unable to refute it.

Shen Jingxuan steadied herself and hesitated for a moment over the very tempting option of "beating that evil creature into a pulp on the spot".

Thankfully, in the end, she decided that as a Buddhist, one should be compassionate. Saving a life, or rather, saving a turtle's life, was better than building a seven - storey pagoda.

So, the young nun first took the pill that Yan Luoyue offered and stuffed it into her mouth. Then she picked up Yan Luoyue, let her turn into a little turtle, and put her in her bosom.

With a flash, Shen Jingxuan passed by the half - dead lynx, leaving this doomed evil creature behind, and sped off in another direction.

"By the way, young master, where exactly is this place?"

"This is Chunzhuo Mountain. Where are your family members, little benefactor? Why did they leave you alone in this place?"

"Well, there was a little accident."

Yan Luoyue glossed over it in a few words and sketched a three - dimensional map in her mind.

She was shocked when she thought about it.

Chunzhuo Mountain was located between Ruyi City and Huajin Mansion. It would take four hours to get there by riding a crane, which was even farther than the distance Yan Luoyue usually traveled to Zhaoxin Residence for shopping. Speaking of which, wasn't that teleportation array supposed to have a limited range? How could it send her so far away?

Sure enough, the shoddy products sold by street vendors were unreliable.

After chatting with Shen Jingxuan for a while, Yan Luoyue finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

She retracted her little head into the turtle shell, brought her two little paws to the front, covered the opening in the front, and said in a muffled voice:

"Master, can you... I mean, does the smell seem to be getting stronger?"

"Ah?" Shen Jingxuan was slightly taken aback. "I was exposed to that stench for so long just now. My nose might not be working very well at the moment."

After enduring for a while, Yan Luoyue finally burrowed out from Shen Jingxuan's robe and transformed back into her human form.

Yan Luoyue wrapped her arms around the young nun's neck and hung in front of Shen Jingxuan's chest. After observing patiently for a short while, she quickly came to a shocking conclusion.

"Wait a minute, little master. Haven't we passed this fork in the road for the [X]th time?"

Shen Jingxuan looked a bit surprised. "Really?"

"Yes," Yan Luoyue said, covering her eyes in distress.

Now she finally understood why the stench, which should have been getting fainter, actually seemed stronger.

It was because...

"Little master, this is the [X]th time you've gone in the wrong direction."

Yan Luoyue groaned with great difficulty. "By the way, little master Jingxuan, are you really bad at finding your way?"

If earlier Yan Luoyue was still wondering how that monster could manage to get in front of them so quickly even when it was injured,

At that time, she thought it was because the monster was more familiar with the cave environment and took a shortcut through the intricate mountain belly.

But now it seemed... it was very likely that Shen Jingxuan had taken a long - way around!

This time, Yan Luoyue transformed into a little turtle and lay on Shen Jingxuan's shoulder to guide the young nun.

Through this personal experience, Yan Luoyue found that Shen Jingxuan's sense of direction was extremely poor.

"Next, go through the eastern cave... Wait, I said the eastern one. The direction you're going is north!"

After this kind of thing happened one or two times, Yan Luoyue reflected on it and thought that her way of giving directions might be the problem.

She had also heard about this in her previous life: Some people can't tell the difference between the four cardinal directions. When giving them directions, it's better to use front, back, left, and right along with landmarks.

But what Yan Luoyue never expected was that even after she changed her way of giving directions to using front, back, left, and right, Shen Jingxuan still got lost!

This Master Jingxuan wasn't so bad that she couldn't even tell the difference between front and back.

But she really did get confused between left and right.

Watching helplessly as Shen Jingxuan made a stylish right - turn after Yan Luoyue's instruction of "turn left", Yan Luoyue finally took a deep breath.

"Just follow my gestures."

By the way, with such a poor sense of direction, how did Shen Jingxuan manage to catch those flower - stealing thieves, and even caught three of them in a row?

"Oh, you're talking about that," Shen Jingxuan replied casually. "I went to the city to beg for alms. I heard that there was a wealthy family in the East Market. They were devout Buddhists and very kind - hearted..."

So, Shen Jingxuan decided to go to the East Market to beg for alms.

Later, as expected, Yan Luoyue heard that Shen Jingxuan got lost and ended up in the South Market, where she happened to stumble upon the first flower - stealing thief in the act and captured him on the spot.

Under a flurry of punches, this flower - stealing thief readily confessed the whereabouts of his two accomplices.

Shen Jingxuan memorized the locations in her mind and then knocked the man out with a single palm.

According to the young nun's retelling, she smoothly found the hideouts of the remaining two flower - stealing thieves. The whole process seemed as if she had the help of the Buddha.

It was just that when the first flower - stealing thief woke up and found that his two accomplices had been captured, he had a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

Yan Luoyue: "..."

She thought that, probably, most likely, the first flower - stealing thief had given Shen Jingxuan a completely fabricated and deliberately wrong address.

As for why Shen Jingxuan was in Chunzhuo Mountain, the reason was also very simple.

Shen Jingxuan said concisely, "After I left Shuilian Nunnery, I traveled south all the way and passed by Chunzhuo Ravine."

Yan Luoyue didn't even have the heart to correct Shen Jingxuan - Chunzhuo Ravine was actually to the north of Shuilian Nunnery.

Shen Jingxuan continued, "I heard that there were a pair of monsters causing trouble here, polluting the mountain spring water and poisoning several villagers. So I came up here to check it out..."

"Wait," Yan Luoyue suddenly woke up with a start and swallowed hard. "Master, did you say a pair of monsters?"

"Yes, indeed a pair. A Buddhist doesn't tell lies."

Yan Luoyue murmured, "So, is the other one of this pair of monsters purple all over, a bit bigger than the red one, and has all the other features exactly the same?"

"I heard so..." At this point, Shen Jingxuan also felt that something was amiss.

She turned her head in the direction where the little turtle in her arms was looking.

In a forked cave entrance, a purple, hairless lynx was slowly pacing out of the shadows.

“...”

In an instant, both of them tensed up.

It was really bad luck. Either Shen Jingxuan's mouth or Yan Luoyue's guiding skills must have been blessed!

Yan Luoyue lowered her voice and whispered, “Little Master, your poison...”

Shen Jingxuan was silent for a moment, and a look of determination flashed across her face.

“Don't worry, little benefactor. We must eliminate all demons, and I still have the power to subdue demons.”

Just by listening to Shen Jingxuan's tone, Yan Luoyue could tell that she was putting on a brave front.

Before the young nun could make more resolute vows, Yan Luoyue interrupted her.

“Little Master, don't worry. We have magical tools, and you have strength. We managed to repel that lynx just now. Now, with our combined efforts, it won't be difficult to kill this one. Please don't bear it all by yourself anymore.”

Xiaoming's water reservoir was left on the previous monster.

But Yan Luoyue still had other magical tools.

For example, she had the same level of financial resources as someone with an average asset of tens of billions.

Shen Jingxuan steadied herself. The experiences of fighting side by side several times just now made her choose to trust this little girl - or rather, at least trust the little girl's financial ability to obtain magical tools.

She pulled Yan Luoyue back a few steps and carefully shielded her behind herself.

“Then please, little benefactor, give me a moment to adjust my breath. I need to digest the medicine.”

Shen Jingxuan wanted to completely digest the antidote, suppress all the remaining poison, and face this monster in the most ferocious state!

Yan Luoyue took out a handful of talismans from her storage bag and grabbed them in her hand. She tiptoed and poked half of her small body out from behind Shen Jingxuan.

The lynx monster in the shadows remained still. Shen Jingxuan closed her eyes to adjust her breath, and Yan Luoyue was on high alert. A very delicate balance was actually achieved among the person, the demon, and the monster.

During this period, Yan Luoyue's arm got sore from holding it up and trembled slightly.

This was originally a small detail that no one else cared about except her.

But Yan Luoyue noticed that as her arm trembled, the lynx monster very warily shook its head and didn't dare to take a single step forward!

Yan Luoyue was slightly stunned.

Huh? Was it afraid of the talismans in her hand?

But limited by her cultivation, these talismans were all low - level ones. Even if she threw them all out at once, they wouldn't cause very serious damage.

A thought flashed through Yan Luoyue's mind, and her gaze fell on her palm.

It was only at this moment that Yan Luoyue realized that when she was rummaging through the storage bag in a hurry just now, she had taken out not only the talismans but also a pure white handkerchief.

This handkerchief...

The familiar object awakened her sleeping memories, and Yan Luoyue slowly narrowed her eyes.

She remembered that what was wrapped in this handkerchief was... a scale left for her by that little green snake?

A blood - stained scale!
