Chapter 272 Senior Sister Chu, save us!
Looking at the black sea of insects that loomed over the flower field like dark clouds, even Chu Luobai couldn't help but feel a chill.
With the destructive power of those black insects.
If I hadn't broken through to the Mahayana stage, I'd probably have suffered a lot here today.
If I were any unlucky, I might have perished here.
"This is hardly a sea of flowers; it's more like a sea of insects."
Chu Luobai sighed, circulating his spiritual energy and forming a circular sword aura three feet away from him, keeping the buzzing insects out.
In the distance, screams of agony echoed one after another.
It seems that some unlucky cultivators, like Chu Luobai, have fallen into this sea of flowers.
Cultivators below the Refinement Void Realm would probably not last more than a quarter of an hour in this sea of insects before becoming their meal.
Chu Luobai swung his sword, cleaving a gash in the dense swarm of insects.
The spiritual energy within his body circulated, and he flew upwards.
But as soon as her toes left the ground, an extremely strong resistance pressed down on her.
"Flight restriction?"
This item exists in most secret realms, but this is the first time she has seen one as powerful as this.
The spiritual energy within his body began to circulate again.
The Lingxiao sword in Chu Luobai's hand burst forth with a strong light, tearing through the void and creating a crack in the flight restriction.
As they rose into the air through the gap, Chu Luobai spoke loudly.
"The swarm of insects is dangerous! I am Chu Luobai, a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect. If any cultivator encounters danger, please follow the sword light to find me!"
Chu Luobai amplified his voice with spiritual power and repeated it twice to ensure that all disciples in the entire Manjusaka Flower Sea area could hear it.
"Isn't Chu Luobai the senior sister of the Qingyun Sword Sect?"
"Disciples of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect! We are saved!"
Amidst the sea of flowers, the disciples, already wounded and surrounded by a swarm of insects, heard Chu Luobai's words from afar. The despair on their faces lessened considerably, and hope returned to their eyes.
"But with such a dense swarm of insects, how are we supposed to get to Chu Luobai's side?"
A disciple, whose body was covered in blood from being bitten by insects, looked on in despair as the insects continued to swarm towards him.
The smell of blood on his body attracted a large number of insects, far more than those around other cultivators.
Countless insects formed a thick black wall, making it impossible to leave, let alone take a single step forward.
"Could it be that fate has decreed my demise, and I am destined to die here?"
The disciple knelt on the ground, the insect almost in front of him, its sharp mouthparts reflected in his pupils.
They could tear him to pieces at any moment.
Suddenly, a sword light shot into the sky from the depths of the insect sea!
An extremely sharp sword aura swept across the sea of flowers from mid-air, and a powerful shockwave rushed in like a tsunami.
The insects fell to the ground upon contact with the sword energy, and in an instant, a torrential downpour of black rain began!
The swarm of insects that had been like a dark cloud looming over the city was instantly cleared out!
The disciples, surrounded by the swarm of insects, stared in disbelief at the scene, too terrified to move for a long time.
Is this... the power of a sword cultivator?
"The swarm of insects is dangerous! All cultivators, please act immediately!"
Seeing that the disciples were standing there as if they were stunned, Chu Luobai had no choice but to speak up again to remind them.
Upon hearing Chu Luobai's voice, the disciples snapped out of their daze.
Because of their delay, black insects have once again flown out of the sea of flowers.
"Come on!"
"Quickly go to Chu Luobai's side!"
Seeing this, the disciples dared not hesitate any longer and called to each other as they ran toward the direction from which the sword light had risen.
Chu Luobai expanded his protective sword aura to several tens of feet outside his body.
The sharp sword energy crisscrossed the surface of the sword aura, and any black insect that approached was instantly torn into tiny fragments.
Those disciples who came to seek refuge with Chu Luobai couldn't help but look on with envy.
The insects that left them helpless and even nearly killed were so vulnerable in front of Chu Luobai!
"The situation is critical. If any cultivator is injured, please help each other out."
Chu Luobai carefully observed the dozens of disciples within the sword aura. Based on her previous observations, she estimated that all the disciples in the sea of flowers were here.
"This place is not safe to stay for long. Has anyone observed a path leading away from the sea of flowers?"
Maintaining this sword aura consumes a great deal of spiritual energy, and it would be unlikely that an ordinary cultivator would offer such assistance in such a critical situation.
But Chu Luobai is different; he is nourished by the rare and precious materials in the blessed land and empowered by the cultivation techniques provided by the system.
Her spiritual energy reserves are almost three times that of cultivators at the same level.
This level of spiritual energy consumption was nothing to her.
Moreover, these cultivators are all from the younger generation of Qingzhou Realm. If we let them die here...
In the future, with the five realms locked in a chaotic war, Qingzhou Realm will not only be unable to win, but it will also be questionable whether it can even survive the first round of the chaotic battle.
"Senior Sister Chu, I should know how to leave here."
Among the group of disciples, a female disciple wearing a light blue dress timidly raised her hand.
Chu Luobai recognized the clothes; they were the robes of a disciple of the Nine Heavens Pill Sect.
"You said."
She took the initiative to walk to the side of the female disciple of the Pill Sect.
"When I landed, I saw a place that looked like a cave. Through the cave, I could vaguely see a green area on the other side, which should be a forest..."
The Dan Sect disciple looked at Chu Luobai cautiously, and after speaking, he added another sentence.
"I just haven't looked closely; I only think it might be..."
"A cave...?"
Chu Luobai pondered for a moment, then directly asked the disciple to give directions.
Dozens of disciples moved forward in a mighty, sweeping manner with the sword energy, turning the black sea of insects in their path into a bloody pulp.
The disciples watched this scene with a sigh in their hearts.
How can there be such a big difference between two cultivators?
Could it be that I chose the wrong sect back then?
Actually, Qingyun Sword Sect is the best choice?
"Senior Sister Chu, this is the place."
The Dan Sect disciple pointed to a cave large enough for two people to walk side by side and said.
The cool breeze coming from the cave entrance indicates that the caves are interconnected.
"Okay, you all go in first, I'll cover you from behind."
After Chu Luobai let the disciples go in, he released his sword aura, and the black insects swarmed up instantly.
She quickly took two steps back and entered the cave.
The insects didn't follow any further; they seemed to have lost their target in an instant and scattered.
"Just as I suspected, these insects are simply a product of this area..."
Chu Luobai murmured, squatted down, and plucked the nearest Manjusaka flower.
The moment it was brought into the cave, the originally vibrant Manjuscarida flowers began to wither at a visible rate.
"Even these flowers can't leave this area?"
Chu Luobai frowned and gazed at the sea of flowers.
"Looks like there's something good down there..."
