Chapter 37 Desert Sandstorm, Life and Death on the Line
The burly man with the bushy beard immediately turned his camel around, and the entire caravan followed suit, heading towards the vast sea of sand that looked no different from anywhere else.
A glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's heart.
Inside the carriage.
Lianxing looked at her older sister with eyes full of curiosity and admiration.
"Sister, how...how did you know there was water over there?"
She had just used her mental power to investigate, but found nothing.
"Feel."
Yaoyue uttered two words softly.
She is already a Grandmaster-level expert; how powerful is her mental strength?
She could sense anything that happened within a hundred miles, let alone a small underground water source.
"Oh……"
Lianxing nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over the white-haired man who was still lying motionless in the corner of the carriage.
It's been a month.
It's been a whole month since they dug this man out of the sand.
For the entire month, he lay there, neither eating nor drinking, like a real dead man.
But he clung to life, never truly dying.
His body showed no signs of decay, and even his handsome face remained lifelike.
This is really strange.
Lianxing couldn't help but glance at him a few times every day, and she found herself developing a strange curiosity about this man she had never met.
She was very curious about who he was.
And why did it turn out like this?
"Sister, do you think... he might wake up?"
Lianxing couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.
"have no idea."
She said coldly, "Maybe I'll die in the next second, or maybe I'll lie here like this for the rest of my life."
"What does this have to do with us?"
Upon hearing this, Lianxing stuck out her tongue and dared not ask any more questions.
She knew her sister hated her meddling.
She could only pray silently in her heart that this handsome man would wake up soon.
……
The caravan had been traveling through the desert for most of the day, and just when everyone was about to give up, a refreshing green finally appeared on the distant horizon!
"An oasis! It's an oasis!!"
"We're saved! We're saved!!"
All the guys erupted in wild cheers, as if they had just escaped a disaster!
With their last ounce of strength, they urged their camels to gallop towards that field of hope!
They soon reached the edge of the oasis.
This is a small oasis with a clear lake in the center and several tall date palm trees growing on its shore.
The burly man with the bushy beard and his men rushed to the lakeside like madmen.
"Splash! Splash!"
They all jumped directly into the icy lake water, drinking the sweet, life-saving water in large gulps.
The carriage stopped by the lake, and Yaoyue and Lianxing got off.
Although they weren't as disheveled as the caravan crew, the days of eating and sleeping outdoors had left them feeling somewhat exhausted.
"Sister, shall we rest here tonight?"
Looking at the rare beautiful scenery before her, Lianxing's mood improved.
"Um."
Inviting the Moon nodded.
She walked to the lakeside, scooped up a handful of clear lake water, and gently washed her face.
The cool lake water washed away the faint trace of dust from her face, making her already flawless face even more beautiful and captivating, beyond compare.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A series of sharp, whistling sounds suddenly came from behind the sand dunes not far away!
Dozens of poisoned crossbow bolts, gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light, rained down on the caravan members who were drinking water by the lake and Yaoyue Lianxing who had just gotten off the carriage!
"Oh no! An ambush!!"
The burly man with the bushy beard's expression changed drastically!
Without a second thought, he leaped out of the water and drew the curved sword from his waist!
"Protect the young lady!!"
He roared and was about to rush forward to defend himself.
However, those crossbow bolts were simply too fast and too dense!
Moreover, it was coated with a deadly poison that could kill instantly upon contact with blood!
It was simply beyond the ability of a martial artist of his level to withstand!
A horrific massacre was about to unfold!
Yaoyue merely gave a cold snort.
"A bunch of ignorant ants."
She didn't even bother to move, she just waved her sleeve!
An invisible yet incredibly powerful force instantly spread outwards from her center!
"Buzz—!"
All the poisoned crossbow bolts seemed to have hit an invisible wall when they reached within three feet of her! They instantly froze in mid-air!
Then, "crack, crack," it broke apart inch by inch!
It turned into dust that filled the sky!
"This...this..."
The bandits behind the sand dunes, responsible for the ambush, were all stunned by this scene that completely defied their common sense!
Their faces were filled with endless horror and fear!
A long-range arrow strike?!
A long-range arrow strike?!
Is this even human?!
This is clearly the work of a legendary deity!
"Boss, we...we think we've messed up..."
"It was a bandit who said in a trembling voice."
The bandit leader, a one-eyed man with a scar on his face, also looked extremely ugly.
He knew he had misjudged the situation today.
He thought it was just an ordinary caravan of fat sheep, but he never expected that such a terrifying peerless master was hidden inside!
"Retreat! Retreat now!!"
One-Eyed Dragon made a quick decision and was about to order a retreat.
However, it was too late.
"Come and go as you please?"
"What do you take our Yihua Palace for?"
Yaoyue's cold, emotionless voice, like a judgment from the deepest hell, slowly echoed in the ears of all the bandits.
Then, she moved.
With a swift movement, she dashed into the bandit group like a white lightning bolt!
She didn't use any weapons, but simply pointed her fingers like a sword, each swing bringing with it an extremely sharp white sword aura!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Wherever the sword energy passed, those fierce bandits fell down in swathes like wheat being cut down!
A thin line of blood appeared on their throats, and they died before they could even let out a scream!
This is no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre!
In less than a minute, Yaoyue single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of fierce bandits!
Blood flowed like a river across the entire sand dune, and corpses littered the ground!
The strong smell of blood terrified the burly man with the bushy beard and his men, who were standing not far away. They turned pale and trembled with fear.
They looked at the stunningly beautiful woman, still dressed in white and spotless, as if she were a demon.
They finally realized what kind of terrifying being they had provoked!
Lianxing was used to the scene before her, and she just sighed helplessly.
My sister's murderous intent is still so strong.
Just then, the old horse-drawn carriage that had been parked by the lake carrying miscellaneous items suddenly shook violently!
"boom!"
A loud bang!
The roof of the carriage exploded with a deafening roar! A white figure shot into the sky, accompanied by a cloud of wood chips!
That figure had long, snow-white hair that danced wildly in the wind!
His eyes were closed, and his body emanated a faint yet extremely pure internal energy fluctuation!
It was Yang Qian, who had been in a coma for a month!
He actually woke up at this time?!
No, that's not right!
He didn't wake up!
His eyes remained closed, and he was still unconscious!
His sudden outburst was entirely a physical, instinctive reaction!
Because while he was unconscious, he sensed an extremely large and pure aura of internal energy from the same source!
