Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 211 Going Against the Tide

"Gurgling,"

In the murky lake water, a figure darted about like a small fish, the terrifying low pressure causing the spiritual energy barrier around her to dent in several places.

"This place is really strange." A look of solemnity flashed in Guan Xun's eyes. He had not expected that in addition to the extreme cold, there would be such a powerful pressure under the lake.

This would limit her speed of movement; she couldn't stay here any longer and needed to quickly suppress the energy within her body.

After thinking it over, she moved, her speed increasing dramatically, leaving deep watermarks in the concentrated pressure of the water.

Suddenly, Guan Xun stopped abruptly, looked up sharply, and was first somewhat astonished, then his face showed disbelief.

"What's going on? Why can't I sense the lingering aura of dark flames outside?!"

To be precise, it was as if no one could sense anything outside; the lake surface suddenly became like a sharp blade, severing the connection between the outside world and the lake.

Then she wouldn't be able to control those Martian ideas.

Is it a seal?

Regardless, it must be that old man who's behind this!

Her anger surged, and she kicked off and swam towards the surface of the lake.

However, as soon as he made a move, his heart started pounding violently, and his head felt like it was going to explode.

He was weak, his spiritual energy was unstable, the barrier was flickering and showed signs of fading, his bones were creaking, his throat was burning, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

With his back hunched, Guan Xun endured the raging heat and finally gritted his teeth, turning back and rushing into the dark depths of the Yellow Springs.

That's it!

It seems we can't go up to the lake for the time being. No matter what happens, we have to stabilize the raging energy first!

As she continued downwards, Guan Xun slowed down only when she felt a distinct chilling aura invading her body and the energy was no longer as domineering as before.

Gazing at the dark depths of the lake, he frowned, wondering just how deep this Yellow Springs of Burial Bones truly was. If he didn't know the bottom, going any further would only be a waste of time.

The chilling power here is already extremely domineering, so let's suppress the energy here for now.

If that doesn't work, then we can try something deeper. With that thought, she immediately sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing.

Just as she was about to make a move, a faint, strange noise suddenly reached her ears.

Suddenly, I noticed that the water around me had become rapid, as if something was swimming in the water.

"Crash! Crash!"

The sound of water could be heard; something was approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Guan Xun frowned, then turned and unleashed a palm strike behind him, the spiritual energy piercing through the barrier and striking the approaching shadowy figure.

"boom!!!"

"There are actually monsters in this frigid lake?"

Looking at the blood clots and limbs scattered in the underworld, which had been smashed to pieces, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Crunch, crunch!"

A strange and piercing cry came from the murky water, where countless creatures with black and yellow mottled bodies crisscrossed and devoured the shattered limbs.

Its blood-red eyes were astonishing, and its body was covered with strange scales. It was several meters long, slender, and agile.

This is a colorful water anaconda.

A creature that lives only in water. Although not a monster, it lives in groups and is extremely powerful. Dealing with such a large number of them is particularly troublesome.

They were staring intently at Guan Xun, their ferocious mouths agape, black venom spraying out and sticking to the spiritual energy barrier.

Some even charged straight at us, causing the surrounding lake water to emit a low, explosive sound.

Seeing this, Guan Xun frowned deeply.

She was feeling unwell and already extremely agitated. When this happened while she was adjusting her breathing, her teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound, and she stomped her foot heavily!

The powerful force pierced through the barrier, causing the lake water to ripple and roar once again.

Before the attacking anaconda could even let out a scream, its body was blown to pieces, just like the one that had charged earlier.

For a moment, the area outside the barrier was covered in blood, but this commotion did not deter them; instead, they became even more ferocious, like a persistent, insidious disease.

Guan Xun's face turned cold, and his body was filled with powerful energy. Any of the colorful water pythons that he touched died a horrible death.

After all that commotion, they too developed a sense of fear. After a large number of them died in their attacks, they finally stopped and dared not advance any further. They could only linger in the distance, seemingly looking for another opportunity to attack.

Guan Xun's lips were a little pale. He had wasted a lot of time because of these ghostly things. Now the cold energy around him had been disrupted by the warm blood, so he needed to find another place.

After thinking it over, he didn't dare to delay and quickly swooped down.

Seeing the large group of dark shadows relentlessly pursuing her, she turned around and threw out clusters of dark flames, instantly blocking their path with a vast sea of ​​fire.

"Huff." With a heavy sigh, Guan Xun dived down rapidly without looking back, quickly shaking off them.

They only stopped when they had descended to a place where they could no longer see the Hokage.

"As expected, the cold and yin energy becomes stronger the further down you go."

She murmured to herself and immediately sat cross-legged again to regulate her breathing.

……

Outside the cave, along the ten-mile road.

The howling wind swept across the canyon, bringing up clouds of yellow dust. The dust settled on the crystal-clear ice, instantly turning the ice into puddles of water.

Everyone present who had been frozen solid collapsed to the ground, their limbs stiff from being frozen for so long.

They were terrified, looking at each other blankly, completely unaware of where the ice had come from or why it had disappeared.

Zhao Gui stood up, leaning on the boulder. He quickly stepped over the obstacle and looked towards the place where the fight had taken place. All he saw was a bloody mess, with the area utterly destroyed. There was no sign of Guan Xun or the other leaders.

"What...what happened? Why are they all gone?!" he exclaimed in shock.

Could it be that the girl was outnumbered and...?

Thinking of this, he felt a pang of pain in his heart, and slammed his clenched fist into the boulder beside him, blood instantly gushing from his knuckles.

"Hurry! Pack your things, help the wounded, and get out of here immediately!" Zhao Wuji, as expected of a leader, immediately took charge of the team as soon as the brief crisis was over.

"Zhao Gui!"

Hearing someone call his name from behind, Zhao Gui glanced at the unconscious puppets lying on the ground, then took a deep look at the spot where Guan Xun had just fought. With a grim expression, he turned around and began to pack his things.

Although they didn't know what had happened, now was the best time for them to leave.

However, just as they were about to lead their horses on another journey, a muffled sound of bone flutes suddenly rang out.

While everyone stood there stunned, wondering where the sound came from, the puppets on the ground twisted their bodies and all got up.

The expressions on the faces of those present changed drastically.

"Hahahaha! None of you will leave here! Just like that woman, you'll all be buried with my brothers..."

The leader emerged from the darkness, his sinister grin particularly eerie.

Everyone was shocked, and Zhao Gui was heartbroken. The girl had indeed...

"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!!"

With a command from the leader, the puppets launched a fierce attack.

"Brothers, let's fight!" With no way to escape, the men, their eyes bloodshot, fought desperately to carve a bloody path for themselves and their brothers.

The leader was particularly excited as he watched the epic battle.

That woman was naive. Did she think that by surrounding him with dark flames, he couldn't escape? Their clan was most skilled at crafting puppets, so naturally they were also adept at creating clones.

A clone can easily escape from the fire.

Now that the Yellow Springs of Burial have been sealed off, all connections between the inside and outside have been severed. No matter how much the woman struggles inside, she has no way to control anything outside. She can only stay in the Yellow Springs forever and suffer until she dies!

She would perish soon in that place, and once she died, the immortal fire in the deep ravine would be ownerless.

He'll refine it slowly in the future...

"You're all going to die, hahahaha!!!"

In the deep of night, under the cold moon high in the sky, screams continued unabated in the canyon, and no one knew when they would stop. Even the vultures flying by seemed to let out mournful cries at this extremely bloody scene...
