However, Qiao Mu still felt a stab in her mind.
As her figure teetered at the edge of the reservoir, she reflexively pressed her hand to her temples.
When she opened her eyes again and looked into the distance, her eyes had already turned frosty with a piercing killing intent.
“Eh?” Seeing that his attack was not able to injure the other party’s mental conscious pool, the newcomer couldn’t help but be confused.
“The little lady is a bit strange.” The person speaking had a face that was like a shrewd monkey’s, and his high, round cheeks had turned rosy from the excitement of seeing prey.
Qiao Mu knitted her brows, and she slowly launched a mystic-guiding talisman matrix around herself.
“D*mn it, Old Monkey! Why aren’t you attacking? Sure enough, this little lass is a great talisman practitioner. Be careful.”
“It’s a mere talisman practitioner. With me here, isn’t it just as easy as a casual grab of the hand.” The shrewd monkey man referred to as Old Monkey licked his lips as he leered at Qiao Mu. “The little lady is so fair and tender, a rare beauty that is unrivalled in the world.”
“Hm?” Old Monkey abruptly dodged the poisonous darts that Qiao Mu had flung out.
“A filthy mouth can’t utter decent language.” Qiao Mu snorted, “You directed a mental attack at me just now.”
“Heh heh, the little lady is indeed a bit strange for comprehending what a mental attack is.” Although Old Monkey still had a lascivious gaze, he was extremely alert to guard against Qiao Mu’s attacks.
“It’s my turn to attack now.” Qiao Mu recited with a smirk, “It is bad etiquette to not reciprocate.”
She then infiltrated the other party’s conscious pool with her spiritual conscious, attacking him fiercely without warning.
Old Monkey, who had put up his guard, did not expect that this girl would retaliate with a mental attack, so he took the full brunt of it. Soon, he e yowled on the spot and fell backwards.
“Old Monkey!!” His companion, who had been hidden in the shadows, could not stand it any longer and jumped out. He used his palm to strike out a weighty current toward Qiao Mu.
*Wham!!* That weighty mystic energy heavily hit the big cauldron that Qiao Mu suddenly summoned out before her.
The Nine Stars Mirroring the Moon Cauldron blocked this intense attack for her.
Although Qiao Mu was hiding behind the cauldron, she still felt a bit unwell.
Because of this strike, her innards felt like they had been forcefully moved several inches, and her chest felt painfully smothered.
Although her mystic cultivation had advanced, her body still needed to undergo strengthening. A weak body in battle was disadvantageous, like now.
Her earth spirit churned out from the ground.
It started piling backwards while Old Monkey was still staring in shock.
The layers of dirt underneath their feet stacked up into an earth spirit barrier that then caved in upon the terrified Old Monkey and his companion.
The two people yelped as they jumped about in the dust that was raining down from the dirt layers and could only watch as Qiao Mu ran away.
Old Monkey hollered, “Chase her!”
He was the first to bolt after her.
“You aren’t from the Anyi Prefecture!” Qiao Mu instantly activated a water spiritual barrier behind her back.
In the blink of an eye, the energy strike that Old Monkey and the other person threw out hit her back heavily, pushing her forward several meters.
However, Qiao Mu twisted her body in mid-air and nimbly made a great leap forward.
She then promptly summoned the Nine Stars Mirroring the Moon Cauldron again to block the two attacks coming from the front.
