Just as the giant Sword-toothed Tiger was slowly approaching Lin Luochen, following the scent,
several streaks of light suddenly appeared in the distance, clearly Miaoyin Sect Disciples who had been attracted.
With a Nascent Soul realm fierce tiger eyeing him closely nearby, and Miaoyin Sect Fairy Maiden surrounding him from afar,
between dying in the tiger's mouth and bravely venturing into the Dragon's Den, Lin Luochen unhesitatingly chose the latter.
He activated the Spirit Swiftness Talisman in his hand, leaped up, and dashed towards the cave.
Given his throat-cutting relationship with Luo Yaoyao, falling into the Miaoyin Sect's hands would be worse than dying in a tiger's mouth.
The Sword-toothed Tiger was startled by him at first, then its eyes lit up, and it furiously chased after Lin Luochen.
It spat out fireballs, forcing Lin Luochen to constantly move and dodge, but he was still splashed with mud and snowflakes.
If it weren't for the Spirit Swiftness Talisman, and the Sword-toothed Tiger being injured, he would have long since perished in the Yellow Springs.
But even so, the Sword-toothed Tiger was getting closer and closer, its mouth brewing fireballs, ready to unleash them.
"Scram!"
At the brink of death, Lin Luochen was forced to activate the Heavenly Sword Talisman.
The talisman instantly burst into golden light, and dense Sword Qi flew out from it, pouring down like a torrential rain.
The Sword-toothed Tiger was momentarily blocked by the Sword Qi and could only prematurely spit out fireballs to destroy all the Sword Qi.
Lin Luochen seized the opportunity to widen the distance, rushing desperately towards the cave, while several female shouts echoed from far behind him.
"Stop!"
"Where do you think you're going!"
...
Lin Luochen ignored them, activated the Golden Light Talisman, and rushed into the cave before the Sword-toothed Tiger and the Fairy Maidens.
The inside of the cave was already empty, and behind him came the roar of the giant tiger and the whoosh of its claws.
Lin Luochen unhesitatingly leaped into the spring water, only to feel a sharp pain in his back.
The golden light around him quickly shattered, but he narrowly managed to dive into the water and swim towards the bottom.
The fire-attribute Sword-toothed Tiger clearly disliked water; after splashing a few times upon entering the water, it quickly climbed onto the bank.
It shook its fur, steam rising from its body, and looked back at the several Miaoyin Sect women at the cave entrance.
With a tiger's roar, the women in front of the cave frantically fended it off, letting out cries of alarm.
Lin Luochen had taken a claw from that Sword-toothed Tiger; if it weren't for the stimulating cold spring water, he would have probably fainted from the pain.
He swam downwards in the water, his blood spreading out in the water, yet strangely flowing towards his chest.
There, an ancient iron stele was quietly absorbing his blood, with runes circulating on its surface.
Lin Luochen only felt his body growing heavier and heavier, carried by the underwater current in a certain direction.
Severely injured, he couldn't resist the surging undercurrent at all, drifting helplessly with the flow, crashing around in the underground river.
Fortunately, there were no Yao Beasts in this undercurrent, otherwise, he would have probably become food for them.
After finally emerging from the undercurrent and returning to the normal river channel, Lin Luochen could no longer hold on.
He was only at the second level of Qi Refining and couldn't hold his breath for long; his consciousness was already somewhat blurry.
Lin Luochen sank powerlessly in the dark, murky river, vaguely looking upwards.
Am I really going to die so inexplicably?
Leng Yueshuang, did that woman really run so fast?
Just then, in a daze, he saw a sliver of moonlight shining down, and a Fairy Maiden bathed in moonlight flew towards him in the water.
Behind the Fairy Maiden was a bright moon, her robes floating in the water, appearing so ethereal and transcendent.
She grabbed him and swiftly swam upwards with him, as if to lead him out of this sea of suffering.
Lin Luochen looked at her vaguely, feeling like his lungs were about to explode, his heart pounding like thunder.
Leng Yueshuang looked at his ashen face, then suddenly bit her red lips, cupped his face, and kissed him.
Lin Luochen felt a mouthful of Immortal Qi enter him, and his whole body greedily absorbed it, instinctively embracing her.
Leng Yueshuang's beautiful eyes widened; holding him with one hand and a sword with the other, she slew the Yao Beasts in the river and swiftly swam upwards.
A moment later, the two surfaced in a river about a dozen zhang wide.
Lin Luochen gasped for fresh air, breathing heavily, feeling a sense of surviving a catastrophe.
Leng Yueshuang looked at him with a slightly flushed face, her entire body drenched, her proud figure faintly visible in the water.
"Are you alright?"
"No, I'm very dizzy!"
After speaking, Lin Luochen collapsed onto her chest.
He wasn't trying to take advantage; he was simply suffering from too much blood loss and couldn't hold on any longer.
In a daze, he heard Leng Yueshuang's panicked voice.
"Young Master, Young Master!!"
-----------------
He didn't know how long had passed, but Lin Luochen was awakened by the whooshing wind and explosions.
As soon as he woke up, he felt as if he was about to explode, and couldn't help but pant like an ox.
No, is the reaction to waking up this intense this time?
A familiar seductive voice came: "Fairy Yueshuang, why hold onto your little lover?
"As long as you come back to the Miaoyin Sect with this sister, this sister guarantees you'll be busy every day and never feel empty."
Leng Yueshuang said nothing, only her long sword swung out streaks of Sword Qi as she continued to pilot the flying boat to break through the encirclement.
At this moment, Luo Yaoyao, leading a dozen Miaoyin Sect Disciples, surrounded and attacked Leng Yueshuang, trying to trap her.
But with Leng Yueshuang's cultivation and injuries recovered, such a favored daughter of heaven would not be so easily captured by them.
If she didn't have to worry about Lin Luochen on the flying boat and couldn't speed up, she would have probably already escaped to safety.
Luo Yaoyao was also happy to let her inhale more and more Drunken Love Smoke, slowly boiling the frog in warm water, to prevent her from jumping over the wall in desperation.
And Lin Luochen's presence was even more beneficial for the Drunken Love Smoke to take effect.
Indeed, this Jade Maiden Sect Saintess was already flushed, clearly about to lose control of herself.
"Fairy, why are you silent? Do you feel as uncomfortable as if being gnawed by ten thousand ants?"
"Fairy, just say the word, and we'll move away immediately, to facilitate your good deed with your little lover!"
A group of Fairy Maidens giggled, letting out sounds of suggestive panting or teasing.
"Fairy, you wouldn't not understand, would you?"
"How could the pure and chaste Jade Maiden Sect understand? Sisters, teach her!"
"Hehe... don't underestimate the Jade Maiden Sect, they've eaten more than we've eaten salt!"
...
Leng Yueshuang, enraged by the words, slashed out with her sword, gritting her teeth and saying, "Shameless!"
Just as her mind was being disturbed by various demonic sounds, Lin Luochen finally regained his senses and swallowed a detoxification pill.
"Don't mind them, run towards Wanfu Mountain, go to that big tree first, hurry!"
Perhaps due to his unconsciousness, he could now actually perceive the strength of the Demonic Qi around him.
Upon seeing him wake up, Leng Yueshuang first let out a long sigh of relief, then couldn't help but recall that kiss just now, her eyes hazy.
But she still silently recited the Supreme Emotion-forgetting Art, subtly adjusting her direction to fly towards the large tree in the distance.
Lin Luochen realized Leng Yueshuang's state was not right and knew she must have inhaled a lot of Drunken Love Smoke.
After all, even he, who was merely caught in the crossfire, felt like he was about to explode, let alone her, who was the main target?
"Where's your detoxification pill?"
Leng Yueshuang panted, "I've used them all."
Lin Luochen fumbled in his waistband for the last detoxification pill, put it in her mouth, and gave her some relief.
As their bodies touched, Leng Yueshuang subconsciously licked his finger, startling Lin Luochen back two steps.
"Fairy, please respect yourself, I am not such a casual person!"
Leng Yueshuang glared at him indignantly, but at this moment, she appeared so charming, scaring Lin Luochen into hiding behind her.
"Don't look at me, I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself!"
"Damn it, who would!"
"It's certainly not me!"
"You shut up, don't speak anymore!"
Hearing this, Lin Luochen readily complied and remained silent.
Indeed, when a man is out and about, he still needs to protect himself!
