Just as he was about to exhaust his spiritual power to break the formation, a golden rune struck, instantly causing the man to stagger back several steps. He glared ahead with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "Damn it! Who dares to ruin my plans!"

As the woman approached, the two men finally saw her face clearly. She was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, with her hair styled in a simple bun and adorned with a plain silver hairpin. Her black dress added to her mysterious aura.

Her small, oval face had a touch of aloofness, but her clear, deep black eyes were the most captivating feature, and the red lotus on her forehead added a touch of allure to her.

The bear in their arms looked at them with such disdain.

The two men narrowed their eyes, scrutinizing the suddenly appearing girl, but they couldn't discern her strength.

"Brother, is she here to steal our magical beast?" one of the men whispered.

Upon hearing this, the man sneered, the threat in his eyes couldn't be clearer, "Little sister, you're not here to steal the magical beast, are you?"

To everyone's surprise, Ji Jiuying chuckled softly after hearing this, "Rob?"

Qingling and Wen Longting's eyes lit up. It was Xiao Jiu and Miss who had returned!

The man's face immediately turned cold. "If you want to take the mythical beast from me, then ask the sword in my hand if it's willing!"

After he finished speaking, a black giant sword, carrying an aura that could almost split a mountain, slashed down from the sky, causing the ground to shake violently.

The next moment, Ji Jiuying gently waved her hand, and the formation in the cave dissipated into the air. The little boy transformed into a dragon and flew out, circling around Ji Jiuying's wrist.

"Do I need to fight you for it?" Ji Jiuying lowered her head and stroked the little evil fire, scoffing.

It was a dragon! Could she be the one from the Azure Moon Kingdom?! The two men's faces immediately darkened, as if ink could drip from them!

The mythical beast they finally found turned out to be hers!

The feeling was like having a piece of meat that was almost in your mouth suddenly fly away! The two exchanged a glance and reached a kind of consensus! "Hmph~ So what if it's yours? As long as the two of us kill you, this phantom beast will naturally fall into my hands!"

The man was not afraid at all that the magical beasts had owners; the beast tamers they brought were not to be trifled with.

At this moment, Qingling and Wenlongting walked out of the cave and walked behind Ji Jiuying. They saw that the two middle-aged men did not take them seriously at all!

The man swung his broadsword, his sinister gaze undiminished, and murderous intent spreading wildly in his heart.

"You two, take good care of yourselves!"

As soon as Ji Jiuying finished speaking, she unleashed her purple whip and charged forward. Like a raging storm, the surrounding dust was stirred up, and huge waves rolled out. The battle was about to break out!

The man didn't understand why the girl kept the magical beast hidden instead of letting it fight, since it belonged to her. But when he saw that Ji Jiuying's weapon was a whip, he almost laughed out loud! His disdain deepened.

Since she's courting death, he'll grant her wish!

Under the firelight, the girl in the black robe stared intently ahead, unmoved by the middle-aged man's ruthless attacks. Just when the man thought his broadsword was about to pierce through the slender figure, Ji Jiuying dodged the blow.

At the same time, Ji Jiuying seized the opportunity to lash the man's waist with her whip, and with a sudden flick, slammed him hard to the ground, leaving faint cracks on the surface. The power of that flick was evident!

The man was taken aback for a moment, then his expression turned ferocious, and his eyes widened in anger!

Gripping the broadsword tightly, he poured all his spiritual power into it, and as he broke free from the whip, he slashed fiercely at it.

The immense spiritual energy spread outwards, and Ji Jiuying's hand, which was tightly gripping the purple whip, became slightly numb from the shock, but she still did not let go.

The man didn't see the effect he wanted, and his eyes widened in disbelief. How could this be! What material is this whip made of? How come it can't be cut?

Before he could react, a series of whip shadows ripped through the air and swept towards him, forcing the man to dodge.

The battle intensified, and Qingling and Wenlongting watched the two people in mid-air with tension, completely unaware that the middle-aged man had already arrived behind them not far away.

"Ah!" A cry of surprise rang out as the Purple Lightning Leopard appeared to protect Qingling, but Wen Longting was grabbed by the man, a dagger pressed against her neck!

"Xiaoting!"

To the two men's surprise, there was actually a mythical beast present!

Ji Jiuying was in a panic and momentarily lost focus.

Thud—

The whip was struck and fell to the ground! The person was sent flying like a scarecrow, but the little boy grew bigger and caught her.

"Hahaha, good second brother, what a brilliant plan!" The leading man laughed confidently. He hadn't expected that there would be two phantom beasts, one for him and one for his second brother!

The man called "Second Brother" pushed Wen Longting towards the cliff edge, saying, "If you want to save her, hand over the magical beast!"

"No······"

Wen Longting's feet were off the ground, with a bottomless cliff beneath her, and she was desperately pounding on the man's arm with both hands.

The leading man also arrived at the edge of the cliff, placing his large knife at Wen Longting's waist. "Even if your magical beast can catch her, she'll probably be a corpse in two by then!"

In short, don't even think about saving her alive. After saying this, the two men looked at each other and laughed.

Sensing something, she gave Qingling a look, and Xiao Zi and the little boy disappeared from sight one after the other.

"Look, it seems like none of your friends want to save you."

The man tightened his grip on Wen Longting's neck, and Wen Longting's face turned red. Ji Jiuying's heart jumped into her throat.

Just then, I heard light footsteps behind me.

"Let go of Xiaoting!"

Upon seeing this, Wen Chuyu's face darkened, and he shouted loudly!

It was Wen Chuyu, Shen Miaoqing, and a woman that Ji Jiuying didn't recognize!

Ji Jiuying had only put the little boy away because she noticed someone approaching.

"Hehehe~ We also want to let her go, but some people are unwilling!" The leading man said, glancing at Ji Jiuying.

"I'm willing, come and get it yourself!"

With her back to Wen Chuyu and the others, Ji Jiuying placed the shrunken phantom dragon in her palm!

The two middle-aged men exchanged a glance, still uneasy about Ji Jiuying. The leading man handed the knife to the other man, who then held Wen Longting in one hand and placed the knife at her waist with the other, to prevent Ji Jiuying from playing any tricks.

He slowly walked towards Ji Jiuying. Just as he was about to reach her, a murderous glint flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes. She pierced the man's hand holding the knife and the hand that was gripping Wen Longting with two silver needles. The man loosened his grip in pain, and the knife fell to the ground. Wen Longting also lost her balance and fell off the cliff.

"Xiaoting!"

At the critical moment, the little boy transformed into a dragon and rushed towards Wen Longting, catching her! Liu Piaopiao was also instantly stunned. Was that a dragon?

The beast tide must have been caused by this dragon! Although she had long heard that Ji Jiuying's contracted beast was a dragon, the sight of a real dragon appearing before her eyes still filled her with uncontrollable jealousy!
