As Luo Xiu sprinted, he could already see Xu Qianqing sitting on the ground in the distance, covered in blood.
Not far from her, Ye Ningxue was riddled with wounds, her delicate body swaying on the verge of collapse like withered grass in the wind.
Yet, she was still gritting her teeth, struggling fiercely against the three mbers from Sakura Country.
The auras of the three Sakura Country mbers were stronger than Ye Ningxue's Nascent Soul Realm, yet weaker than the Mahayana Realm.
This could only an they were three cultivators at the Void Refinent Realm!
Just then, one of the Sakura Country mbers broke free from Ye Ningxue's fierce sword techniques, kicked her far away, and then darted toward Xu Qianqing.
"Chu Xierou, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
"Die!"
The Sakura Country mber, holding a katana, charged forward with bizarre movents, his afterimages flickering dazzlingly.
"Thousand Slice Steel Dance!"
At this mont, Xu Qianqing was too weak to react.
Even with the Wicked Tenderness Technique, her own cultivation was only at the Gathering Spirit Realm, and the power gap with the Void Refinent Realm was simply too vast.
Since being targeted by these three yesterday, she would not have survived this long if not for Ye Ningxue repeatedly risking her life to protect her.
Is it really going to end like this? I'm so unwilling...
BOOM!
Just as despair filled Xu Qianqing's heart, a sudden explosion rang out!
A black Thunder Halberd, seemingly from the horizon, flew toward the Sakura Country mber, wreathed in a dense aura of death.
The man paled in shock. He instantly judged that the domineering Thunder Halberd could take his life, so he had to abandon killing Xu Qianqing.
He swept his katana out, halting abruptly while simultaneously forming hand seals for a Ninjutsu.
"Illusion Escape: Flowing Bull Slope Spring!"
The Thunder Halberd instantly penetrated his body, but his body beca ethereal at the sa ti, completely ignoring the halberd's attack.
The next mont, he raised his katana and charged again, his form becoming a blur of afterimages.
"Thousand Slice Steel Dance!"
Xu Qianqing was now only about twenty ters away from him.
A distance he could cross in the blink of an eye!
However, just as his katana swung toward Xu Qianqing's neck, her body seed to defy gravity, drifting backward at that very instant and avoiding his blade by a hair's breadth.
The sharp tip of the blade almost grazed her neck!
In that split second, Luo Xiu, who had arrived just in ti, had grabbed her arm and pulled her away.
The Sakura Country mber looked up, his gaze falling on Luo Xiu's face behind Xu Qianqing. Frowning slightly, he asked, "Who might you be?"
Luo Xiu ignored him, keeping his grip on Xu Qianqing's arm and continuing to retreat. At the sa ti, the Thunder Halberd he had thrown reversed course, flying back to stab the Sakura Country mber from behind!
But the Sakura Country mber was already prepared. He used Ninjutsu almost simultaneously to make his body ethereal again, dodging the Thunder Halberd.
He looked at the halberd that had missed and was now stuck askew in the ground, exuding a terrifying power, and suddenly broke into a grin. "Incredible, incredible!"
"I am quite intrigued by that move of yours, sir. May I ask what kind of Taoist Art it is?"
By now, Luo Xiu had retreated with Xu Qianqing to a safe distance from the Sakura Country mber.
Xu Qianqing leaned weakly against Luo Xiu's shoulder, gazing up at his profile with eyes full of gentleness.
At this mont, she was filled with a profound sense of security.
As long as this man was here, nothing in the world was frightening anymore...
Gradually, she closed her eyes and slipped into unconsciousness.
Luo Xiu quietly infused a trace of Qi Huang dicine Power into Xu Qianqing. Simultaneously, a light flashed in his left eye as he opened a spatial entrance to the Land of Lawlessness and tossed her inside.
"Just now, I thought of three ways to kill you," Luo Xiu said abruptly as he strode toward the Sakura Country mber.
He then added, "Not long ago, I visited Sakura Country. I had the good fortune to et several of your country's 'teachers' and learn a new Taoist Art."
Hearing this, the Sakura Country mber paused for a mont before asking, "And what Taoist Art would that be? Before I die, I would like to witness it."
Luo Xiu replied, "Thousand Person Slash."
The mont he finished speaking, the Thunder Halberd stuck in the ground suddenly exploded, transforming into a deluge of black lightning that instantly ford a net, enveloping the Sakura Country mber.
From his earlier probing, Luo Xiu had discovered that the mber's ability to phase his body only lasted for a mont, likely a Ninjutsu he used specifically to avoid fatal attacks.
Now, enveloped by the wide range of the thunder net, his phasing ability was useless.
However, with the protective Gang Qi of the Void Refinent Realm, the black lightning couldn't kill him instantly.
His body trembled uncontrollably from the electric current, his expression filled with pain, yet he fought to move his legs, trying to escape the net.
Just then, Luo Xiu took out the triangularly folded Soul Pursuing Talisman and crushed it without hesitation!
"AHHH—!"
The Sakura Country mber threw his head back and howled in agony. A strange aura emanated from his body, as if sothing inside him had just exploded.
The subsidiary sigil planted by Wendy was inside this very man!
Luo Xiu had just destroyed the master sigil, causing the subsidiary sigil to detonate and severely injure the Sakura Country mber from within!
The next mont, Luo Xiu blurred into an afterimage, dashing forward. He took out the Acne-Removing Divine Hoe from the Gold Bracelet on his wrist.
SQUELCH!
He swung the hoe, directly shattering the man's protective Gang Qi. The tip of the hoe plunged unimpeded into his neck.
"This move is called the 'Straight Path'!"
The Sakura Country mber stared at Luo Xiu with trembling eyes full of unwillingness as his life force rapidly faded.
To think I... would die at the hands of... a re Core Formation Realm cultivator...
Luo Xiu didn't spare him a second glance. Unwilling to waste a single mont, he grabbed his Acne-Removing Divine Hoe and sprinted toward Ye Ningxue on the other side.
At this mont, Ye Ningxue was on her last legs!
Facing the lethal attacks of the other two Sakura Country mbers, she could only clumsily parry with her sword, accumulating more and more wounds on her body.
Seeing this, Luo Xiu felt a pang of distress and anger, but he didn't lose his rationality. In fact, the mont he decided to act, he had already devised a counterasure!
He flashed forward at top speed and tackled Ye Ningxue, rolling with her across the ground to narrowly evade the fatal attacks from the two Sakura Country mbers.
At the sa ti, Luo Xiu opened the spatial entrance to the Land of Lawlessness and, holding Ye Ningxue, leaped inside without hesitation.
The two remaining Sakura Country mbers exchanged a look and, seizing the opportunity before the spatial entrance closed, quickly dashed in pursuit.
「Land of Lawlessness.」
Ye Ningxue finally had a chance to breathe. She slowly opened her blood-stained eyes and looked calmly at Luo Xiu.
"Two at the Void Refinent Realm… even I am no match for them. You need to run."
She didn't know that she had already taken refuge in another space.
Luo Xiu helped her to her feet and started walking toward the Palace of the King of Law. "Don't worry, it's very safe here."
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a playful female voice sounded from behind them, "Safe? I doubt it. Is it really as safe as you say?"
