"Th-there's a dead end up ahead. Th-there... the Evil Spirits... they don't dare... don't dare enter..."
She only had ti to utter those words...
...before Yue Lingxi fainted.
At that mont, an endless black mist surged from her body once more.
It was a sign that the Nine Nether Evil Qi had invaded her body.
And this ti, it was far more thorough than the last.
Last ti, Yue Lingxi had the Profound Sun Order and her master's protective light shield to guard her, so she wasn't too deeply injured. But this ti...
It was different.
The Evil Spirit condensed the most terrifying Nine Nether Evil Qi.
Even Yang Xiao wouldn't dare to touch that Evil Qi lightly.
So how could Yue Lingxi?
'Damn it! This foolish woman, why did she...'
Yang Xiao couldn't understand.
He didn't know what madness had possessed her.
Why would she block that blow for him?
'I didn't need her help at all.'
'Was she trying to trade her life for mine so I would return the Profound Sun Order to her?'
'This idiot!'
He cursed under his breath.
But Yang Xiao didn't stop.
Although he desperately wanted to kill the Evil Tiger right now...
...with his current strength, it was impossible.
The finger strike just now had been his all-out attack.
Unfortunately, it had only managed to push the Evil Tiger back.
It couldn't injure it at all.
Under these circumstances, Yang Xiao could only run.
Flee.
A humiliating retreat.
'Because I'm not strong enough!'
And focused solely on escaping, Yang Xiao's speed was imnse.
He held nothing back.
He even used a Body Technique.
He pushed deeper and deeper inside.
The Evil Qi inside was even denser.
But compared to the Evil Tiger, it was still a notch below, so Yang Xiao could still endure it.
And once his speed picked up...
...the Evil Tiger had so trouble keeping up.
With his Spiritual Power, Yang Xiao sensed that there was indeed a very strange place in the distance.
That place...
...exuded a sky-piercing Sword Intent.
This Sword Intent was sowhat familiar to Yang Xiao.
But at this mont, he had no ti to ponder whose Sword Intent it was.
He only felt that this Sword Intent was incredibly powerful.
Because in the area where this Sword Intent was present...
...there wasn't a single trace of Evil Qi.
Apparently, even the Nine Nether Evil Qi feared this Sword Intent.
At the sa ti, Yang Xiao knew.
This was probably the dead end the foolish woman in his arms had spoken of.
He quickly darted into it.
Yang Xiao looked back.
He imdiately saw that the Evil Tiger had indeed stopped.
It didn't approach at all.
However, it didn't retreat either.
Instead, it stared at Yang Xiao.
Although it was an Evil Spirit with low intelligence, its bloodthirsty instincts made it stand guard here, intending to wait for Yang Xiao to co out and kill him.
"You beast!"
Yang Xiao roared in anger.
But with his current strength, he was helpless.
His Attack Power was still too weak.
However, after confirming that the Evil Tiger truly didn't dare to enter, his gaze quickly fell upon the foolish woman in his arms.
Her body was already covered in black qi.
Her aura was faint.
'This foolish woman, why did she do it?'
He sighed inwardly.
In truth, Yang Xiao didn't know, and perhaps even Yue Lingxi herself didn't know why she had done such a thing.
She had clearly co to crush Yang Xiao.
She was here for revenge.
But in the end...
'Forget it. Ultimately, her intentions were good. I can't just watch her die!'
Yang Xiao hesitated for a mont.
Finally, he reached out again and took the woman's hand.
The True Greater Yang Fire within his body flowed into her.
The icy aura surged forth once more.
The mingling of their auras began again.
Because at this mont, this was the only way to help her expel the Evil Qi from her body.
It's just that...
...Yang Xiao knew.
After these two tis,
he feared he would never be able to forget this woman.
The first ti was one thing.
At that ti, he was desperate to save a life.
He hadn't thought too much about it.
But this ti...
Although it was also to save a life, to use this thod twice... if he could still not let it affect him, he would have to be incredibly thick-skinned.
'We'll see what this woman has to say when the ti cos!'
He grunted softly.
Yang Xiao thought no more of it.
...
A Martial Artist's cultivation.
The Inner Qi within the body is a fundantal aspect. This qi is born from the Essence Qi of one's flesh and blood, fused with Heaven and Earth Primordial Power and Spirit Will. For a cultivator at Yang Xiao's level...
...this Inner Qi was no different from his physical body.
In fact, it was even more sensitive than his body.
Wherever his Inner Qi passed, it was not only imnsely powerful but could also perceive everything.
The True Greater Yang Fire in Yang Xiao's body...
...was the Inner Qi he had cultivated.
This Inner Qi...
...was like tentacles...
...perating every part of Yue Lingxi, from the surface of her skin, to her flesh and blood, and then deeper inside...
...delving deeper step by step.
It continuously dissolved the Evil Qi that had entered Yue Lingxi's body.
It could be said that Yang Xiao perceived everything about Yue Lingxi.
At the sa ti, Yang Xiao's Inner Qi also began to rge with the Nine Yin Qi within Yue Lingxi's body.
Gradually,
Yang Xiao forgot everything about the outside world.
He forgot his surroundings, his entire Heart Spirit rging with the woman before him.
Their auras intertwined.
Their Divine Intents even combined.
While dispelling the Evil Qi,
they also rged and tangled with each other.
It was like the beginning of the universe, when all things were being conceived.
It caused Yang Xiao's Heart Spirit and Inner Qi to improve trendously.
Especially at the very end.
Naturally,
his Heart Spirit fused with Yue Lingxi's.
They completed a true Spiritual Qi Fusion.
But at that very mont, a figure suddenly appeared in Yang Xiao's mind.
Seeing this figure, Yang Xiao instantly sobered up.
He pulled his Heart Spirit back.
After confirming that the Evil Qi in Yue Lingxi's Heart Spirit was cleared, he withdrew completely.
He had forcibly interrupted the Spiritual Qi Fusion.
This caused Yue Lingxi to open her hazy eyes and look at him with a bewildered expression.
But then, she couldn't help but lower her head,
...her face beet red.
'This guy... he actually used this thod to save again...'
For a mont, no matter how composed Yue Lingxi tried to be,
...her heart was in turmoil.
She didn't know what to do.
Yang Xiao, for his part, was also a bit awkward.
He just stood there, not knowing whether to move or stay still.
It was agonizing.
'Damn it, Yang Xiao, are you even a man? You can't even handle a little thing like this?'
Yang Xiao composed himself, deciding not to remain silent any longer.
He thought for a mont, then spoke, "I... thank you for saving . And this Profound Sun Order, it belongs to you. Here."
Originally, he had wanted to say sothing about taking responsibility.
But then he thought about how he didn't know this woman at all.
And she probably knew even less about him.
Perhaps nothing at all.
In this situation, it was better to see what the girl chose.
So, Yang Xiao simply took out the Profound Sun Order.
If Yue Lingxi didn't bring it up,
...he would avoid the topic.
This was to avoid making things awkward if she had no such intentions.
"You..."
Hearing Yang Xiao's words, Yue Lingxi looked up.
She glanced at Yang Xiao.
She couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The Profound Sun Order was about to be back in her hands,
but she wasn't happy at all.
Because she keenly sensed that this young man before her, this young man from a remote place, might not want to beco her Dao companion.
As a conservative woman,
having had her aura mingle with a man's twice, Yue Lingxi's heart was already deeply imprinted with his image.
Especially since both tis...
...he was saving her.
So, even if she felt uneasy or unwilling,
...she couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation to fate.
She wanted to beco Dao companions with Yang Xiao.
But now...
Yang Xiao hadn't ntioned it at all.
Naturally, she felt a little sad.
'Maybe... maybe he doesn't know about this. He might just think this is a way to save people... What should I do? What should I say?'
Yue Lingxi was troubled.
'Do I have to be the one to bring it up?'
'But if I don't,'
'what if he never finds out?'
'Hmph, then I'll just follow him until he understands. Besides, the Profound Sun Order needs Supre Yang Power to be activated. I'll just let him have it easy.'
Thinking this, Yue Lingxi took the Profound Sun Order.
But what she said was, "The Profound Sun Order is the key to the Profound Sun Emperor's Secret Realm. You saved too. If you have ti, could you co with ?"
Unconsciously, her voice had beco much gentler.
It was a far cry from her previous, deliberately fierce deanor.
