Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 54

Compared to the last time, Qin Yiqiu’s sword strikes were even more ruthless this time. She wanted to forget all the troubles weighing on her mind, so she showed no mercy toward the frenzied beasts.

Although the Path of Heartlessness required a benevolent heart and compassion for all living beings, it did not mean being as merciful as the Buddha.

Thus, when Qin Yiqiu’s heart was as calm as still water, she could unleash the full power of the Heartless Technique. Wherever her ice sword passed, the corpses of demonic beasts lay torn apart, and countless shattered demon cores piled up at her feet.

Even the beasts affected by the Mysterious Moon began to panic. As the Mysterious Moon Secret Realm collapsed, the Mysterious Moon accelerated its descent.

Before long, the dazzling sun replaced the Mysterious Moon as the ruler of the secret realm’s sky.

The beasts gradually regained their senses.

No beast was foolish enough to charge recklessly at the sword, like an egg striking a rock.

However, the number of demonic beasts was still overwhelming, dense as a tidal wave, making it impossible to guard against them all. Qin Yiqiu, as the main source of offensive power, quickly caught the attention of the larger demonic beasts.

The other disciples were also struggling in the battle, while Luo Yunhuan was searching for a powerful demonic beast. After all, if the beast’s rank was too low, no one would believe her words.

Soon, her gaze fell upon a demonic beast at the peak of the Golden Core stage a massive wild elephant. Wild elephants were rare on the cultivation continent, as they could not adapt to harsh, cold climates.

Let alone one that had cultivated to the Golden Core stage, it was a rarity among rarities. The fact that this wild elephant had managed to cultivate into a spirit was largely thanks to the blessings of the Mysterious Moon Secret Realm.

Since the Mysterious Moon Secret Realm had no autumn or winter seasons, this elephant had been able to survive slowly and persist until it reached the Golden Core stage.

Perfect. It’s you large enough and a rare monster!

Having made up her mind, Luo Yunhuan began to approach the elephant demon cautiously. Although the system’s protection allowed her to barely evade fatal injuries, she still sustained wounds here and there.

In the world of cultivation, getting injured was the norm.

However, before she crossed over, she had been a girl so afraid of pain that she couldn’t even bear to watch a needle pierce her skin during vaccinations or blood draws!

While inwardly crying out in pain, Luo Yunhuan took out a ring and tossed it into the elephant’s gaping mouth.

The Golden Core-stage beast, which had been roaring moments before, suddenly seemed as though it had swallowed a dead fly. It struggled to swallow the ring, shook its head, and then glared at the human who had launched the sneak attack.

The elephant demon, still frenzied and far from calm, grew enraged. Without a second thought, it charged at Luo Yunhuan, the one who had fed it the “dead fly.”

Every strike from the Golden Core-stage elephant demon targeted vital points. Even with the system’s assistance, Luo Yunhuan found it extremely difficult to dodge.

The elephant’s trunk lashed out like a whip, the sound of it cutting through the air clearly reaching her ears.

Gradually, Luo Yunhuan’s stamina waned, and her movements slowed significantly. Finally, the elephant demon’s trunk struck her shoulder.

The impact shattered most of the bones in her shoulder. Had the system not absorbed part of the damage, she would have been reduced to a pulp on the spot.

Luo Yunhuan’s eyes welled up with tears from the pain, but she still remembered her mission. If she didn’t pretend that the two treasures had come from inside this demon beast, everyone would believe she had been blessed by heaven-sent opportunities and target her relentlessly.

But at least she had managed to throw the ring inside. Now, all she needed to do was kill this elephant and retrieve the ring everything would then fall perfectly into place.

[Host, dodge quickly!]

The system urgently warned from the side, controlling the host to evade yet another attack from the elephant demon. Its trunk came crashing down, shattering countless wild beasts.

Even in the midst of a beast tide, the creatures didn’t know each other, so naturally, they couldn’t distinguish friend from foe. Anything blocking their path was simply destroyed.

Dirt smeared Luo Yunhuan’s cheeks, but her mind was already set on drawing more talismans once she returned preferably enough to fill her storage pouch.

If only she hadn’t run out of supplies, she wouldn’t be in such a sorry state now.

Her arm was probably useless. Luo Yunhuan fumbled in her storage pouch for a pill. She had once drawn a bottle of high-grade pills, who knew how much they could restore? But she had to use them now.

A refreshing coolness spread down her throat, and Luo Yunhuan felt her body clear and revitalized. Her previously withered meridians and the pain in her right shoulder slowly began to heal.

Wow, these really work well!

Qin Yiqiu had wiped out a large swath of demon beasts. None dared approach within a two-mile radius now, their eyes glowing red, fur bristling, but none taking another step closer.

“Junior Sister!”

With just a casual glance, Qin Yiqiu spotted Luo Yunhuan, utterly disheveled and half-buried in the dirt. Her once beautiful bamboo-green long skirt was now filthy and stained with a mix of blood and mud.

For a moment, his heart wavered, and even his emotionless cultivation technique grew more perilous.

Suppressing the faint, coppery taste rising in his throat, Qin Yiqiu reminded himself not to be swayed by emotions. Still, he hurried to Luo Yunhuan’s side.

Just then, the elephant demon raised its trunk again, intent on smashing the human who had sneakily stuffed a dead fly into it into a pulp.

But its trunk was severed by a sharp blade.

The elephant demon stared in disbelief.

Qin Yiqiu gave it no chance. Sword energy surged around him, freezing the blood on the ground into ice. Crimson ice shards formed into long swords, surrounded by the dismembered limbs and shattered remains of beasts.

Luo Yunhuan nearly choked on the stench. She stood up, dodging the falling chunks of beast carcasses, and made her way to the elephant’s side.

By now, Qin Yiqiu had already dealt with the elephant demon. Its body was pierced with red swords, which quickly dissolved into pools of blood.

Qin Yiqiu watched the beasts that no longer dared approach. He closed his eyes and looked toward the horizon, where the faint dawn light broke through the clouds, golden rays spilling over the earth.

The Mystic Moon Illusionary Realm vanished, and the frenzied behavior of the beasts began to recede like a tide. They had finally survived the most difficult trial.

After a brief moment of distraction, Qin Yiqiu noticed his junior sister struggling to pull out a dagger and start digging into the elephant demon’s abdomen.

“It’s already dead.”

Qin Yiqiu crouched down and grasped Luo Yunhuan’s wrist.

“Your injuries need immediate treatment, Junior Sister. Don’t push yourself any further.”

Luo Yunhuan shook her head, her face pale from excessive blood loss.

“I want its demon core. Ground into powder, it can be used to make many talismans.”

Luo Yunhuan wasn’t lying, a demon beast’s core could indeed be ground into powder to make talisman paper, and a Golden Core stage demon beast’s power was immense.

“I’ll help you.”

Qin Yiqiu felt a pang of heartache.

Yet, that faint trace of pity between her brows remained unnoticed even by herself.

After speaking, Qin Yiqiu summoned her sword, forged entirely of profound ice, and with the ease of a surgeon performing an operation, she cleanly sliced open the elephant demon’s abdomen.

Despite its tough hide, which other beasts couldn’t even scratch no matter how fiercely they attacked.

Qin Yiqiu extended her slender hand and directly retrieved the Golden Core. Watching her senior sister’s sword, Luo Yunhuan thought, This thing is really handy.

Then, somewhat sheepishly, she reached out her hand.

“Senior Sister, I feel there’s something else inside its body.”

Boldly, Luo Yunhuan grasped Qin Yiqiu’s wrist and guided her upward, cutting open the elephant demon’s stomach.
