Seeing these two figures, Wang Jianqiang's heart skipped a beat.
As the first and second prodigies of the Outer Sect of the Xuanqing Palace, their talents were undeniable.
Now that they had successfully built their foundations, their auras were no less imposing than that of Ye Qingxue.
He instinctively shrank back.
However, his worries were clearly unfounded.
The Great Achievement Wood Sword Formation's ability to conceal his aura surpassed his expectations. Even though the two were Foundation Establishment cultivators, they couldn't detect the slightest trace of his presence.
"It's quite normal for the assessment to be a bit more challenging with both of us Foundation Establishment cultivators entering the same gate."
"But there's no need for you to worry too much, Brother Wuya. I still have a trump card up my sleeve."
"Passing this assessment shouldn't be a problem."
Hearing Xiao Wuya's words, Lin Xian'er chuckled softly.
Before joining the Xuanqing Palace, her family and Xiao Wuya's family had been on friendly terms for generations. The two had known each other since childhood, like childhood sweethearts.
Xiao Wuya was three years older than her, and before she joined the Xuanqing Palace, she had always called him Brother Wuya.
Even now, having become the top figure of the Outer Sect and surpassing Xiao Wuya in strength, she still affectionately referred to him as Brother Wuya.
Hearing Lin Xian'er's words, Xiao Wuya looked at her indulgently, "What are you thinking, you little rascal? I'm not worried about this assessment."
"Besides, even if we encounter danger in the secret realm, how could I let you face it alone?"
Lin Xian'er stuck out her tongue at his words.
Her cute and charming demeanor was in stark contrast to her usual pride.
"If you're not worried about the assessment, Brother Wuya, are you concerned about Elder Song's orders?"
"That's right." Xiao Wuya nodded, "This assessment has already been going on for half a month. Now, with only three months left before the secret realm closes, we still need to enter the herb garden to gather herbs. Time is too tight, I'm afraid..."
"Brother Wuya, there's no need to worry."
Lin Xian'er smiled, "In my opinion, those so-called elite disciples of the Joy Union Sect are nothing but a joke."
"If even an old relic on the brink of death can secure a spot in the secret realm, it speaks volumes about the quality of this batch of Joy Union Sect disciples."
"Dealing with them is quite simple, and there's no need to waste too much time."
Hearing Lin Xian'er's words, Xiao Wuya also smiled.
He had some impressions of that old fellow, whose aura was filled with decay.
If such a useless person could make it into the team, the quality of this batch of Joy Union Sect elites wasn't impressive.
"In any case, being cautious is always wise."
"Let's keep moving and finish this assessment as soon as possible."
Xiao Wuya stood up.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, Brother Wuya."
Lin Xian'er pouted and stood up.
"You little rascal."
Xiao Wuya shook his head helplessly.
Moments later.
The two of them shot forward.
Wang Jianqiang emerged from the bushes, deep in thought.
The Elder Song they mentioned should be Song Qiuyue.
Song Qiuyue didn't dare confront Yan Qingxuan directly, so she ordered Lin Xian'er and Xiao Wuya to deal with the Joy Union Sect disciples, likely intending to annoy Yan Qingxuan.
He wanted to intervene.
But he was just a Qi Condensation cultivator, and even if he had mastered the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, it would be difficult to contend with Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Moreover, the opponents were two Foundation Establishment cultivators?
He shook his head, suppressing the thoughts in his mind, and followed them from a distance.
To be safe, he merely trailed far behind the two.
Half a day later.
Wang Jianqiang suddenly paused, looking solemnly at the high sky ahead.
In the sky, a massive blue-black bird, nearly twenty zhang long, roared across the heavens, its feathers seemingly forged from iron, with lightning entwined around its entire body.
The bird's speed was astonishing; in a flash, it appeared before Lin Xian'er and Xiao Wuya.
Its wings shook, and bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the two down to the ground.
The battle ensued.
As a lightning-attribute spirit beast, the blue-black bird's attack power was incredibly strong.
Lin Xian'er and Xiao Wuya were forced to retreat, and soon they were injured.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Lin Xian'er flipped her palm and took out a jade talisman.
With a flick of her finger.
The jade talisman instantly transformed into a jade-white flying sword, shooting towards the blue-black bird.
A white arc flashed, and the blue-black bird screeched, a bloody wound appearing on its body.
Yet Lin Xian'er's face showed no joy.
Her sword was aimed at the blue-black bird's head, but the bird was too fast.
At the moment the sword struck, it dodged, suffering only superficial injuries.
"Xian'er, let me trap it!"
At this moment, Xiao Wuya's eyes flashed with determination, and he fought desperately.
He flipped his palm and took out a jade-green talisman.
With a flick of his finger.
The jade-green talisman transformed into a stream of light, shooting towards the blue-black bird.
The blue-black bird seemed to sense the danger and was about to flap its wings to dodge.
But just as it dodged, the jade-green light suddenly exploded, and where the green light passed, the space was covered with a layer of green light membrane.
In an instant, the area within hundreds of zhang became a green light prison.
Inside the prison, the green light erupted.
A suppressive force instantly condensed on the blue-black bird.
"Xian'er, attack!"
Xiao Wuya seemed to be greatly exhausted, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he shouted anxiously to Lin Xian'er.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian'er immediately pointed at the jade-white flying sword.
The jade-white flying sword shot towards the blue-black bird's head.
At the moment of life and death, the blue-black bird went completely berserk.
Thick electric serpents leaped from its hardened feathers, transforming into a bird of lightning.
Under the explosion of lightning, the suppression of the green light prison was instantly shattered.
In a flash, the blue-black bird broke free from the green light prison.
The jade-white sword missed its target.
"This is bad, this bird is already close to mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and being lightning-attribute, its attack power and speed are ridiculously strong. We are no match for it!"
Xiao Wuya's face showed a trace of fear.
"Don't worry, Brother Wuya. Even if we can't defeat this beast, if we wish to leave, it cannot stop us."
At this point, Lin Xian'er's expression became calm.
A flash of spiritual light appeared in her hand, and a sheet of talisman paper appeared.
"A Thousand-Mile Divine Travel Talisman?"
Seeing the talisman paper, Xiao Wuya's expression brightened.
Lin Xian'er nodded, and the talisman paper in her hand shone brightly, then the intense spiritual light swirled, forming a vortex-like passage that continued to rotate.
The passageway connects to the void, leading to an unknown destination.
Crackle~
Just as the passageway formed, several bolts of lightning suddenly descended from the sky.
Lin Xian'er and Xiao Wuya's expressions changed.
Entering the teleportation passage of the Thousand Mile Divine Travel Talisman involves a brief teleportation time.
The teleportation passage formed by the Thousand Mile Divine Travel Talisman is extremely fragile.
This brief moment is enough for the power of the lightning to destroy the teleportation passage.
With this in mind, they didn't enter the teleportation passage but instead simultaneously moved above it to fend off the lightning's power.
Boom~
After a thunderous roar, blood spilled from the mouths of the two, and they fell to the ground in a sorry state.
Though they were in a sorry state, they managed to preserve the teleportation passage.
Xiao Wuya glanced at the large blue-black bird, "Xian'er, you go first. I'll deal with this beast!"
With that, he pointed his finger.
The green light prison suddenly contracted, transforming back into a streak of light that shot towards the blue-black bird.
The blue-black bird was right above the green light prison, too close to react in time, and was once again enveloped by the green light prison.
Seeing this, Lin Xian'er, who had been somewhat worried, finally relaxed and stepped into the teleportation passage.
Her figure gradually faded, eventually disappearing within the passage.
Crackle!
After Lin Xian'er teleported away, the blue-black bird erupted once more.
"Hmph, a beast is always just a beast, always the one to be outsmarted."
"Not playing with you anymore."
Seeing this, Xiao Wuya sneered, stepping leisurely into the teleportation passage.
At the same time, he waved his palm.
Before the blue-black bird could break through the confinement, he voluntarily withdrew the green light prison.
The emerald talisman reappeared, flying towards his palm.
The blue-black bird roared furiously.
In the sky, numerous bolts of lightning struck down.
But at this moment, Xiao Wuya stood within the teleportation passage, his figure already becoming indistinct.
In the next instant, he would be completely teleported away.
It seemed everything was too late.
"Beast, I'll deal with you another day."
Xiao Wuya looked up at the sky, a cold smile on his face.
Crack!
But just as his words fell, the sound of shattering suddenly came.
The teleportation passage abruptly shattered.
Xiao Wuya's body, which had already faded, solidified once more.
His face showed a moment of confusion, then turned extremely grim.
The teleportation passage was destroyed!
He failed to teleport!
