wide awake
Half of his soul was unstable, which in turn affected the other half. Liu Yu was distracted and was hit hard by the demon's axe and flew away.
When Yi Wu came back as Qin Mo, she happened to see this scene and quickly stepped forward to catch the person.
Blood flowed from the corner of Liu Yu's mouth, dripping onto his chest, leaving a crimson stain. Seeing her return, he reached out and held her fingertips, "Great, you're okay."
"Don't talk." Yi Wu tapped his acupoint lightly with her fingertips, and helped him to rest aside.
Her fingers fell on Liu Yu's pulse. The pulse seemed a little weak, and she frowned unconsciously.
The familiar red on her chest reminded Yiwu of the time when the immortals attacked Cloud Peak and she accidentally stabbed Liu Yu. Then, she remembered Jiufang Mingyuan forcing her to resist the immortals.
A wave of fear came over her that she had forgotten such an important thing.
Yiwu had personally opened the seal of the immortal race, even luring the demon race to the summit of the cloud, nearly burning down the forbidden land. Jiufang Mingyuan hated her to the core. He clearly hated her so much that he was seeking revenge against her, so how could he possibly be in love with her...
Yiwu's hair stood on end. She rubbed her arms and looked back towards the village.
The Demon King's power should not be underestimated; Ling Hua and Chang Yao could only manage a draw. The demons, outnumbered but formidable, were able to fight the immortals on equal terms, even gaining a slight advantage. Chaos reigned supreme.
The cellar door had already been opened, and the people and immortals inside were trying to sneak out without them noticing. At this moment, the leopard demon, the leader of the twelve captains, locked eyes with Jun Xuan, and with a pair of sharp claws, it forced him to retreat step by step.
"You should rest well here." Yi Wu drew her sword and flew forward.
The leopard demon slapped Jun Xuan's sword away with one claw, jumped onto his back, opened its big mouth and bit his neck.
"Not good! Your Highness!"
All the immortal soldiers around rushed over, but before they got close, a white figure came like a gust of wind and kicked the leopard monster away with a heavy kick.
Two shallow bloody holes were left on Jun Xuan's neck. He was pulled sideways by the leopard monster and almost fell down. A hand pulled him back.
"Qin Mo?"
Seeing who it was, Jun Xuan was surprised. "Weren't you shot to death by Changyao's arrow?"
The black bird was just shot dead by Changyao with an arrow. Ling Hua was very angry and blamed Changyao for not listening to orders and acting impulsively. Only then did they know that the black bird was actually transformed by Qin Mo. For a moment, they all had some opinions about Changyao. They didn't expect that Qin Mo was not dead.
Yi Wu didn't explain. She glanced at the wound on his neck, brought him to Liu Yu's side, and turned around to rejoin the battle.
With one-third of the twelve captains present, this was a perfect opportunity to weaken the demon clan's power. With ghostly speed, she weaved through the chaotic battlefield, repeatedly stabbing her sword into the demon clan's hearts and casually lighting several fires in the village.
As the wind blew, the fire spread rapidly and was about to burn the main house.
Yin Xue's face changed, and he rushed back, wanting to go into the house to get the Blood Demon Fruit, but was blocked by Yi Wu with his sword.
Ling Hua and Chang Yao chased after him, only to discover that Qin Mo was not dead and had quietly joined the battle. Chang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly feeling relieved.
"Where did you come from, you little brat? How dare you stand in my way? Are you looking for death?" Yin Xue opened his mouth wide and let out a loud lion roar, which was so breathtaking that the rest of the people present covered their ears.
Yi Wu guessed what he wanted to do, shook her head to stay awake, and swung out a sword energy with her backhand, directly chopping down the house behind her, and then lit a fire, which made Yin Xue glare at her angrily.
A cold light flashed, and Yin Xue swung the sword towards Yi Wu.
Yi Wu dodged and a thick black demonic energy condensed in the palm of her left hand. It quickly swept across the sword blade and she began to fight with Yin Xue.
Seeing this, the captains gathered around and Jian Qinyuan shouted, "What are you two standing there for?"
Ling Hua and Chang Yao quickly came to their senses and each blocked a captain.
The leopard demon had just died under Yi Wu's sword. Now there were three captains left, and it was just right for them to deal with one each.
The Demon King was even more powerful in his rage than before. Yi Wu did not dare to hold back and had to fight him with all her strength to barely draw with him.
As wounds mounted on both sides, Yin Xue gradually sensed something was amiss. He struck Yi Wu back with all his might, then glanced down at the freshly cut wound on his arm. Amidst the crimson, a faint black aura seemed to be corroding his flesh, and his heart began to flutter.
In a moment, Yi Wu had flashed back and stabbed out several times with her sword, almost hitting Yin Xue's heart.
Yin Xue suddenly calmed down, took a few steps back in fear, turned around and howled at the rest of the demon clan, "Men, retreat."
Not daring to disobey the king's order, the demons followed Yin Xue and fled.
"Where are you running to!" The immortal soldier wanted to chase him with a sword in hand, but was stopped by Ling Hua.
Yi Wu originally had no intention of chasing, but as soon as she landed on the ground, she was almost hit by a hammer, and she stabbed the opponent in the heart with a sword. As luck would have it, the person she killed was Hei Chao.
It was thanks to the Black Tide that they were able to sneak into the demon tribe.
She felt a little complicated. She curled her lips, retracted the sword, shook off the blood on the sword, turned around and walked out.
Amidst the flames, a white figure walked out, his face and body dotted with bright red blood. His posture was upright, like a ray of light descending from the sky, attracting everyone's attention.
Ever since Qin Mo appeared, Liu Yu and Jun Xuan's eyes have always been on him.
He forced back the demon king, who could only be fought by the combined strength of the top two immortals, with his own strength alone. It can be imagined that this person is definitely not simple and can definitely not be just a casual cultivator.
Jun Xuan didn't show it on his face, but he had already decided in his heart that no matter what Qin Mo's identity was, he must make him serve the immortal clan.
The flames made crackling sounds, the beams broke, and bricks, tiles and wood all fell down. The huge village was burned clean by Yi Wu's few fires.
Thick, choking smoke drifted out. The demons had already fled, and the immortals were cleaning up the mess.
Jian Qinyuan trotted over to Yi Wu and checked her injuries. "Where did you come from? We all thought you were really killed by that arrow. It scared me."
Yi Wu just opened her mouth, but before she could finish her words, Chang Yao walked by and said sarcastically, "No one wanted to shoot him, so he took the arrow himself."
"What do you mean?" Jian Qinyuan was furious. "It was you who disobeyed orders and acted on your own. This battle might have been avoided, but look how many people have died now. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Shame? Why should I be ashamed?"
Changyao stopped and turned back. "Battle is a matter of life and death. Do you think that if I don't shoot that arrow, the demon tribe will obey and release the people? Aren't you too naive?"
"Am I naive? Do you even know what's going on right now? Are the immortals very strong right now? If you have enough troops, why are you going to the major immortal sects to recruit cultivators? Look at the people lying on the ground. How many immortal soldiers are there, and how many cultivators are there?"
"They themselves are not good enough in cultivation, can they blame me for this?"
"Fairy Changyao, are you saying that because we are not strong enough, we deserve to die for you?"
"What do you mean? Are the only people rescued today the immortals?"
…
"Stop arguing." Ling Hua scolded, but Changyao reluctantly shut up.
Yi Wu pulled Jian Qin Yuan aside and whispered, "Now is not the time to quarrel."
Both sides have their own positions and reasons, and they cannot reach mutual understanding. Disputes are inevitable, but now is not the time to argue.
"Changyao has violated military regulations. Go back and accept your punishment." Ling Hua turned to Yi Wu, looked her up and down, and patted her shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work, Qin Mo."
Just now, Qin Mo was nowhere to be seen. I guess he had actually left secretly. If he hadn't changed his mind and come back, today would have been a tough battle.
Changyao opened her mouth but couldn't refute.
Yi Wu shook her head, "It should be."
Bi You and Yan Yi commanded the immortal soldiers to gather the mortals who had escaped from the cellar and personally escorted them back. The remaining immortal soldiers and monks were selecting their own from the corpses scattered on the ground, preparing to carry them back for burial.
"Strange, why can't I see any trace of the demons?" Ling Hua looked around and asked loudly, "Did anyone see the demons escape from inside?"
The others shook their heads, but no one noticed.
Liu Yu and Jun Xuan walked over here, secretly observing Yi Wu's expression.
When Liu Yu entered the cellar just now, the cell where the demons were imprisoned was empty. However, the demons were not taken to feed the blood vines the night before, and no demons came in the past two days, so they could only be rescued by Yi Wu in advance.
Liu Yu casually mentioned, "The night before yesterday, the demon tribe brought some people to feed the blood demon vines. Maybe they took those demons away with them as well."
"Blood Demon Vine?" Chang Yao turned to look at him, "Didn't you follow them to see where they hid the Blood Demon Vine?"
"We went there, but the demon tribe set up a fog and we lost them." Liu Yu covered his lips and coughed twice.
Changyao wanted to go over and help him, but he dodged her without leaving a trace, and her hands stopped awkwardly in the air.
Jun Xuan looked around and ordered, "Everyone is seriously injured. Let's go back to Ji Ming to recuperate and rest."
Although there were considerable losses on tonight's trip, fortunately we successfully rescued innocent people and repelled the demons, which can be considered a great success.
They followed Jun Xuan forward a few steps and found that Qin Mo and Jian Qinyuan were still standing there, and seemed to have no intention of going with them.
Yi Wu's expression remained calm as she bowed to them, "Thank you all for saving my life. Now that the person has been rescued, I've reported the information the demon tribe has gathered to War God Ling Hua. This is my way of repaying your kindness. From now on, I will no longer be traveling with you."
Time is of the essence, she has to find the whereabouts of other blood demon vines and destroy them all.
Jun Xuan frowned and advised gently, "Qin Mo, this is not my intention, but you must go back with me."
"You are the only one who saw the man in black. I am going back to report the situation and advise my father. I urgently need you to testify on my behalf."
"The demon clan is powerful. If we ignore it, it may lead to disaster. We must persuade our father to put aside the grudges between immortals and demons and work together to fight against the demon clan."
This was indeed what Yi Wu wanted to do, but she was not sure that she could escape from Ji Ming unscathed. If her identity was exposed in front of Tian Jun, Yi Wu would remember clearly his attitude towards her at the time.
