Tianshan Mountains.

"puff--"

The girl sitting cross-legged suddenly turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the futon in front of her!

"Husband... my husband..."

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

A moment later, the palace doors opened, and several women rushed in.

"Junior Sister! Junior Sister!"

...

North Sea.

The woman was fast asleep, clutching a soft blanket in her arms.

At one point, that flawless, beautiful face suddenly crumpled up into a mess.

"Yunhao... Yunhao... Don't be afraid, Li'er is here, Li'er will protect you..."

A dreamlike voice rang out, and a long string of tears streamed down the woman's face.

...

Watching the flying chariot blasted into countless fragments, the girl in the white dress hung motionless in mid-air, as if nailed down, unable to move forward or backward. All sounds around her were gone, leaving only hollow echoes.

Shen Yunhao... is dead?

Just like that, he was pulverized by the giant ape...

"No...it's impossible..." Her fingers trembled slightly, her throat tightened, and her chest felt like it was being crushed by a boulder, making it hard to breathe.

"It's fake! It must be fake! You're playing me, aren't you! Get out here right now! Or I'm really going to get angry! I'm really going to get angry!"

"Come out... Stop scaring people, okay? This isn't fun at all... I'm begging you... Please come out!"

A moment later, apart from the beast's deep, muffled roar, no other sound came.

Bai Xiaoruo's mind gradually went blank, and all her senses became blurred at this moment.

Immediately afterward, an indescribable rage surged from the depths of her heart. Looking at the Blood Demon Ape not far away, the girl's eyes instantly turned blood red. The rage almost burned away her reason. Her hands clenched into fists, and she felt no pain even as her nails dug deep into her palms.

"Fine! Fine! Fine! I can tolerate those disgusting humans bullying me! But you, you brainless, short-haired beast, dare to provoke me!"

"If I don't chew your monkey brain to pieces today, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

Immediately afterwards, the girl let out a furious roar that pierced the sky, the surrounding air distorted, and a powerful force burst forth from her body!

"roar--"

A deep fox howl burst forth, and the girl's figure suddenly swelled up, with nine snow-white fox tails spreading out behind her like lightning piercing the sky. In no time, a huge nine-tailed white fox materialized in the air.

However, the white fox had lost its former holiness and instead exuded a monstrous demonic aura. Its originally pink eyes had turned blood red and gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, reflecting the massive body of the Blood Demon Ape in its pupils.

"You...you deserve to die!"

The white fox's voice was no longer clear and melodious; instead, it carried an ancient and majestic power, seemingly from ancient times, filled with boundless rage.

After that ancient aura appeared, Bai Xiaoruo's aura rose steadily, and she broke through the Soul Control Realm in an instant, reaching the Void Soul Realm!

"roar!"

At this moment, the Blood Demon Ape on the other side also seemed to sense the threat. Its massive body turned to face the white fox and let out a low roar.

The Blood Demon Ape had long been corrupted by the evil energy of the Blood Soul, and now that Shen Yunhao's aura had completely disappeared, it had lost its target and directly turned into a mindless killing machine.

Facing the Blood Demon Ape, the white fox roared to the sky, its long tail igniting with white flames, instantly transforming into nine fiery tails.

The next moment, the flames enveloping the white fox's figure vanished from its spot, like a fireball crashing fiercely into the Blood Demon Ape.

The Blood Demon Ape roared and swung its giant fist to meet the attack.

"boom!"

The two forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

However, even though Bai Xiaoruo's cultivation had reached the Void Soul Realm, there was still a considerable gap between her and the Blood Demon Ape. Upon colliding, the white fox was sent flying backward, crashing down a large grove of trees before finally coming to a stop.

"Roar! Roar!"

This attack was not entirely ineffective; the sharp fox claws actually tore through the demon ape's skin, and white flames burned into the wound, causing the blood demon ape to roar repeatedly in anger.

Blood trickled from the corner of its mouth, but the white fox didn't care. After getting up, it fearlessly attacked the demonic ape again.

...

Meanwhile, in a secluded cave somewhere in the mountains, Shen Yunhao slowly opened his eyes.

"Cough cough..."

Then he immediately coughed up two mouthfuls of blood!

At this moment, his entire body was covered with fine golden threads, and blue water droplets swirled above his head, radiating a watery glow to help heal his injuries.

"Damn it... I almost died..."

"You work even harder than I imagined!"

A deep voice sounded, and Shen Yunhao looked up and saw a man sitting cross-legged in a corner of the cave not far away.

The man was completely shrouded in a black robe, obscuring his face. Only a pair of gray-white eyes were visible, like those of a hawk, giving off an extremely cold and sinister feeling.

Shen Yunhao smiled and tried to get up, but felt weak all over, so he could only lie there and said, "Thank you for saving my life, senior... How has Shuangshuang been lately? I haven't seen her in a long time, I miss her so much!"

"..."

The man in black robes was stunned for a full three seconds before shaking his head. "You've already stepped one foot into the underworld, and the first thing you think about when you wake up is the young lady?"

Shen Yunhao, however, did not take it to heart. "Senior, you don't know this. As long as I am alive, it means I am not dead!"

"???"

It seems to make sense.

A person is indeed alive before he dies!

What Shen Yunhao actually meant was that as long as the giant ape's punch hadn't killed him completely, the Golden Thread and the Vast Ocean Heart could have saved him even if he was only half alive!

The person before him was the last trump card Shen Yunhao had left for himself, a Spirit Void Realm expert from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

Moreover, his strength reached the terrifying late stage of the Spirit Void Realm, making him much stronger than Zhu Hong and Shu Wuxin!

Little Scorpion is a good person to get along with; she's really there for you when something's wrong!

What does the late stage of the Spirit Void Realm mean?

If placed in Mu Shuangshuang's camp within the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, she would likely be the strongest combat force besides her mother, Mu Qingqing. She's even been called upon to protect her little man...

So it's not wrong for the first thing to do after waking up to be concerned about Mu Shuangshuang, right?

Missing Mu Shuangshuang's beautiful legs for 503 days...

"Young Miss is perfectly fine, you don't need to worry... However, if your Illusionary Shuttle had been a moment later, what I would have saved would probably have been a pile of minced meat!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. A lousy move like 'Death Flash' would never happen to me!"

"..."

What strange things are they saying again?

These young people nowadays... no wonder the young lady is so interested in this guy!
