Chu Yuan held his long sword, his breath disorder, his body already covered in blood.
He was surrounded by demonic Cultivator assassins in a dense forest within the Secret Realm. Although the enemies before him were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, they were numerous and possessed a fierce Aura.
He gritted his teeth, struggling to block the opponent's attacks, the spiritual Qi within his body already showing signs of exhaustion.
Wave after wave surged up, leaving him no room to adjust his breath and recover.
Finally, Chu Yuan failed to block a demonic Cultivator assassin's meteor hammer. His sword was knocked out of his hand, landing far away on the ground.
He was also kicked against a tree trunk, falling down, the severe pain making it difficult for him to move for the time being.
A row of demonic Cultivators approached him, the weapons in their hands gleaming with a cold light.
"Is this the end?"
Chu Yuan coughed up a mouthful of blood, a trace of despair flashing in his eyes.
Just at this moment, a streak of ice-blue Sword Qi cut through the Void Realm, landing among the demonic Cultivators like a thunderclap.
Several demonic Cultivators didn't even have time to react before being strangulation into pieces by that Sword Qi.
The remaining demonic Cultivators were also affected to a significant extent.
A figure slowly descended from the sky.
"Master!"
Chu Yuan saw that familiar figure, his heart shook, and he called out her name.
Luo Zhiqing stood in front of Chu Yuan, the long sword in her hand hanging slightly, her clear and cold gaze swept over those demonic Cultivators, her voice cold:
"You... are seeking death."
Even though her Cultivation was suppressed to the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage by the Secret Realm, Luo Zhiqing's foundation was at the Nascent Soul Stage.
In addition, she was originally a Genius who could fight beyond her level, her current combat power was far stronger than a normal Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Even if she faced three or four Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage individuals alone, she could still have some energy to spare.
In less than a moment, all the demonic Cultivator assassins before her were either dead or injured.
Chu Yuan struggled to stand up from the ground, "Master, you..."
"Don't move."
Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan was pressed back down. Luo Zhiqing took out a Medicinal Pill from her storage ring and personally helped him take it, her movements gentle and soft.
Chu Yuan stared blankly at Luo Zhiqing, his state of mind unable to calm down, his emotions incomparably complex.
He wanted to say something, but thousands of words could not describe the feelings in his heart.
Master she... knew that entering the Secret Realm would also cause her Nascent Soul Cultivation to fall to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Knowing that she would lose all her Cultivation in less than an hour.
She still risked the danger of her body disappearing and Dao perishing, coming to save him without hesitation.
The reason didn't need to be asked again.
At this moment, Chu Yuan only knew that he was willing to give everything for the woman in front of him.
......
After adjusting his breath and recovering seventy to eighty percent of his strength, Chu Yuan stood up from the ground.
Luo Zhiqing had been on guard around him just now. At this time, she turned her head to look at Chu Yuan, "How much of your strength has recovered?"
Chu Yuan's voice was deep and sincere, "Eighty percent, thank you, Master."
"Mm."
Luo Zhiqing didn't say anything more, turning around and walking towards the corpses of the demonic Cultivator assassins.
The faces of the demonic Cultivator assassins were covered with masks. She removed them to investigate.
After a moment, she frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Chu Yuan asked:
"Master, what did you find?"
Luo Zhiqing replied, "These demonic Cultivators are clearly different people, but the Qi within their bodies is completely consistent."
"Completely consistent?"
Chu Yuan covered his chin with his hand, his eyes slightly condensed, "That shouldn't be..."
"Even if they Cultivate the same Cultivation Technique, due to differences in Physique and Cultivate method, each person's spiritual Qi Aura will be slightly different, but the Aura of these demonic Cultivators is almost exactly the same... like mass-produced Puppets."
Luo Zhiqing pondered for a moment and said softly, "This matter is indeed unusual, there may be other hidden secrets behind it. Let's leave here first and investigate this matter in detail later."
【The Secret Realm exit will not open until the end time arrives】
【Now that Luo Zhiqing has already entered the Secret Realm, there is no point in persuading her anymore. Finding a way to solve the current predicament is the main thing】
【You decide to find a safe place to stay with Luo Zhiqing, spend the time when she loses her Cultivation, and wait for rescue】
【However, things don't go as planned】
【You haven't been traveling for long when you encounter demonic Cultivator assassins again. This time, there are more of them and they are stronger】
【You are caught in a bitter battle and are forced to be held back for a long time】
【Just as you are about to break out of the encirclement, Luo Zhiqing's Cultivation begins to decline rapidly】
【She fails to defend against the demonic Cultivator's attack, suffers a heavy blow, and loses her combat power】
【Fortunately, the enemy's encirclement is already very weak at this time. You carry the injured Luo Zhiqing on your back and finally escape】
【You find a hidden cave along the way and settle Luo Zhiqing down】
【Because she has lost her Cultivation and cannot use her power to dissipate the medicinal effects to heal her injuries, you have no choice but to help her heal】
Chu Yuan helped Luo Zhiqing up, put his arm around her shoulders, and fed her a Medicinal Pill, who had a weak Aura.
Then he used his power to help Luo Zhiqing dissipate the medicinal effects and heal her injuries.
Before long, Luo Zhiqing's complexion improved a lot.
Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and tore off his sleeves, using them as bandages to wrap Luo Zhiqing's wounds.
During this period, Chu Yuan inevitably touched Luo Zhiqing's soft body.
"I'm sorry, Master..."
Luo Zhiqing didn't speak.
Only her earlobes were slightly red.
Earlier, when Chu Yuan carried her away, the two were in close contact.
But at that time, the situation was urgent, and they couldn't have such thoughts at all.
Now that the crisis has been resolved, under the circumstances of a single man and a single woman, this is inevitably a bit ambiguous and enchanting.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.
In order to ease such an atmosphere, Chu Yuan helped Luo Zhiqing lean against a large rock to rest and decided to say something.
"Master... in the future, please don't mess around like this again. My heart aches."
Luo Zhiqing knew that Chu Yuan was referring to her entering the Secret Realm to save him.
She turned her head, "If I hadn't come, you would have died."
【You opened the conversation】
【During this period of recuperation and rest, you and Luo Zhiqing talked a lot】
【Although you had previously served Luo Zhiqing up close, the distance between you had never been like today】
【As the chat progressed, you and Luo Zhiqing talked about the reason why she was irreconcilable with the demonic Cultivators】
Luo Zhiqing looked at Chu Yuan, her eyes a little complicated.
Then she looked into the distance.
"I'm the same as you..."
"Back then, the demonic Cultivators slaughtered my hometown, leaving only me."
"Parents, relatives, and friends, all were buried in that sea of fire."
"Now, although the Piaomiao Sword Sect is my home, my real home is gone. From this point of view, I am already alone."
Is it the hatred of exterminating the clan and Seizing the bride?
No wonder Master has such a great hatred for the demonic Cultivators.
It's just...
"Master, you are not alone."
Luo Zhiqing heard this and met Chu Yuan's eyes.
"If Master feels lonely, then treat me as your family."
"At least, I've already done so."
"I don't have any relatives or friends in this world either... so all along, I've regarded Master as my only family."
"Where Master is, is my home, my real home."
Like a stone thrown into a clear pool.
Chu Yuan's words gradually stirred up ripples in Luo Zhiqing's clear eyes.
Imprinting Chu Yuan's figure in her eyes, her heart also fluctuated for a long time, unable to calm down.
