From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 291 Xiao Yao Defeats the Enemy's Den: The Final Chapter of Revenge

I drew my sword and chased after the dying Black Wind Chieftain, venturing deep into the valley.

The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood, mixed with a strange, sweet aroma that made one dizzy.

The cliffs on both sides are steep and the rocks are jagged, like giant beasts ready to devour people.

The wind howled like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, stinging my cheeks.

Finally, the Black Wind Chieftain plunged headfirst into a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave was hidden by vines, making it difficult to spot without careful observation.

I carefully parted the vines, and a chilling aura rushed out, making me shiver.

Something terrifying seems to be lurking deep within this cave.

I gripped my sword tightly, took a deep breath, and stepped into the cave.

It was pitch black in the cave, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

I groped my way forward, my feet sinking into the slippery stone wall, taking each step with extreme caution.

The deeper you go, the stronger the strange fragrance becomes, almost suffocating.

Suddenly, a faint blue light shone from the depths of the cave, illuminating the path ahead.

Only then did I see clearly that at the end of the cave was a spacious stone chamber, and in the center of the chamber was a pool emitting a faint blue light.

The pool water was crystal clear, yet it exuded a chill.

The Black Wind Chieftain was lying by the pool, greedily inhaling the aura emanating from the water.

Just as I was about to step forward, I suddenly felt a powerful force coming from behind me!

"You audacious witch, how dare you harm the people of my Black Wind Stronghold!" An old voice rang out behind me.

Before I could react, I was struck by a powerful magical force, and my body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the stone wall with a "bang," and a sweet, metallic taste filled my mouth.

I struggled to lift my head and saw an old man with white hair, dressed in a Taoist robe, standing at the entrance of the cave, holding a whisk and staring at me with cold eyes.

I was startled; this person was none other than the renowned Immortal Zhou from the cultivation world!

Why is he here?

Why help the Black Wind Chieftain?

I clutched my chest, enduring the excruciating pain, and stared coldly at Zhou Xianren, my heart filled with anger and confusion.

Zhou Xianren looked at me with a cold smile on his lips, "You overconfident little girl, today I will make you die here!" He raised his whisk again, and a powerful spiritual energy gathered in his hand.

"Wait..." I said, trying to stall for time and find out what was going on.

However, Zhou Xianren completely ignored me, and suddenly swung his whisk down, sending a sharp sword aura straight towards me...

"Xiao Yao!" A chilling voice echoed in the cave.

The sword energy came with great force, and I had no choice but to endure the sharp pain in my chest and scramble to the side.

The sword energy grazed my shoulder, causing a sharp pain; I could even feel the burning sensation of my skin being cut.

Before I could even stand still, I heard a series of "click-clack" sounds. I looked to the side and saw that countless sharp blades had suddenly emerged from the walls on both sides of the stone chamber, gleaming with a chilling light.

"Hehe, little girl, the traps in this cave aren't so easy to hide from." A sinister voice came from behind. I saw that Master Liu had appeared beside Immortal Zhou at some point, staring at me with a vicious look and a sinister smile on his lips.

That's when I realized that this mechanism was a trap they had set long ago.

Sharp blades came raining down, and I quickly swung my sword to parry, producing a crisp metallic clang.

However, these sharp blades seemed endless, leaving me exhausted.

Suddenly, a sharp blade sliced ​​across my arm, blood splattered, and a piercing pain instantly spread.

My body swayed, and my steps faltered. The traps continued their relentless attack, emitting a teeth-grinding grinding sound, and a faint smell of rust filled the air.

"Immortal Zhou, don't waste time with her, just kill her!" The Black Wind Chieftain's voice was filled with resentment.

He had already stood up from the poolside, emanating a strange aura. Although he was still weak, his presence was noticeably stronger than before.

It seems that there really is something strange about that pool of water.

"Alright!" Zhou Xianren responded, and with another wave of his whisk, a series of sharp sword energies attacked me.

At the same time, the Black Wind Chieftain also brandished his curved sword, joining forces with Zhou Xianren to launch a siege against me.

I was caught in the middle, attacked from both sides, and my spiritual energy was greatly depleted, with several wounds on my body.

The intense pain and exhaustion made me feel dizzy, but I gritted my teeth and tried to stay awake.

The enemies around me were watching me intently, like an invisible net that was tightening little by little. I felt a tremendous sense of oppression, as if I was about to suffocate.

I swung my sword desperately, trying to cut through the impenetrable attack, but it was all in vain.

Suddenly, Zhou Xianren stopped attacking. He looked at me with a contemptuous smile. "Little girl, you're still too weak. You overestimate yourself!"

Zhou Xianren's contemptuous laughter echoed in my ears, like sharp thorns piercing my heart.

The disdain and mockery in his eyes felt like a bucket of dirty water splashed on my face, making me feel incredibly humiliated.

The pain in my chest, the blood on my arm, and the menacing enemies around me all made me feel suffocated.

I bit my lip so hard I almost crushed my teeth, and the taste of rust filled my mouth.

"Overestimating yourself?" I repeated Zhou Xianren's words in a low voice, hoarse and trembling.

I felt my body trembling slightly, not from fear, but from anger.

This anger was like a raging fire, burning fiercely in my chest, almost threatening to engulf me.

I looked up at Zhou Xianren's mocking face, and a strong sense of hatred welled up in my heart.

I hate his contempt, I hate his arrogance, and I hate his power even more.

How I wish I had the same power as him, so that I could crush these enemies who humiliated me under my feet!

"I really overestimated myself..." I said softly, my tone tinged with self-mockery, but my eyes were a little red.

My hands gripped the sword hilt tightly, my knuckles turning white.

The air around me seemed to freeze. The Black Wind Chieftain and Master Liu both looked at me with a mocking gaze, as if they were looking at an ant struggling for its last breath.

Zhou Xianren put away his whisk, a smug smile on his face, as if victory was already in his grasp.

Suddenly, I raised my head sharply. "So what!" I roared, raised the sword in my hand high, and charged towards Zhou Xianren without regard for anything else.

My actions stunned everyone present.

The Black Wind Chieftain and Master Liu looked puzzled; they didn't understand why I would act so rashly under these circumstances.

Zhou Xianren frowned slightly.

"You're asking for death!" he sneered, raising his whisk once more.

Ignoring everything else, I let my insane rage drive me as I charged toward Zhou Xianren.

I was going faster and faster, the wind was whistling in my ears, and everything in front of me was becoming blurry.

I felt like a shooting star, rushing headlong into that darkness...

"Has this girl gone mad?" Master Liu's voice carried a hint of doubt.

"Hmph, just a death throes," the Black Wind Chieftain sneered.

As I got closer to Zhou Xianren, a slight contemptuous smile remained on his face, as if he didn't take me seriously at all.

“It’s over…” I said in a low voice, a strange smile appearing on my lips.

Just as I was about to collide with the immortal Zhou's whisk, an unprecedentedly powerful force suddenly surged within me.

At my dantian, the inner core that was originally dull and lifeless now burst forth with dazzling light, like a small sun illuminating my entire body.

This power flowed rapidly through my meridians, permeating every part of my body, making me feel stronger than ever before.

I suddenly raised my left hand, and a golden light burst forth from my palm, striking Zhou Xianren's chest.

Zhou Xianren clearly did not expect me to suddenly unleash such powerful strength. In his haste, he only had time to raise his whisk to defend himself, but the golden light was unstoppable and instantly pierced through his defenses, sending him flying.

"Pfft!" Zhou Xianren fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning as pale as paper.

He looked at me in disbelief.

I slowly lowered my left hand, feeling the surging power within me, my heart filled with indescribable excitement and exhilaration.

I am no longer that weakling who can be slaughtered at will!

I turned around and looked at the Black Wind Chieftain with icy eyes.

He was looking at me in horror, and the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp clang.

He wanted to run away, but his legs felt like they were made of lead and he couldn't move.

I walked towards him step by step, each step feeling like stepping on his heart, making him feel a suffocating fear.

I saw the muscles in his face twitching constantly.

"You...you can't kill me..." he said, trembling, his voice hoarse, like a dying beast struggling.

I stared at him coldly, without saying a word.

I slowly raised my right hand, and a ball of blazing flame condensed in my palm.

"No! No!" The Black Wind Chieftain let out a shrill scream that echoed through the cave for a long time.

The flames instantly engulfed his figure, and the air was filled with a nauseating, burnt smell.

I stood there quietly, watching the flames gradually die out, without a ripple in my heart.

I finally got my revenge!

I slowly closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and savored the fresh air in the cave.

I opened my eyes, my gaze swept across the cave, and finally landed on the entrance.

There, there seems to be a familiar figure...

"Wen Chen..." I said softly.
