If Xiao Yu were to die at Qinglong's hands, Bai Ying would definitely not intervene.
But he must be carrying a substitute talisman. Even if he dies now, it will only mean he's missing a talisman.
Moreover, this idiot has already alerted the enemy, which is really infuriating.
Xiao Yu also planned to show off his power in front of Bai Ying, so he deliberately displayed the aura of his Golden Core stage.
He thrust his sword toward the dragon's vital spot.
He moved like lightning, darting through the air, his sword gleaming with a cold light, seemingly carrying an indomitable spirit.
However, to his utter surprise, just as his sword had clearly touched the dragon's body, a powerful force attacked him without warning. The force was like a surging tide, carrying an irresistible pressure, as if from an ancient, mysterious power. He felt a powerful impact wash over him, instantly causing him to lose his balance.
The power was terrifying, so strong that he couldn't dodge it at all. He only had time for a moment of shock to flash through his mind before he was struck hard by that power.
His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.
At that moment, the Azure Dragon also spotted his location, its enormous dragon eyes burning with furious flames. It let out a deafening roar and charged towards him in a rage.
Its massive body stirred up a gust of wind, causing vegetation to sway and bend in its wake. It moved with incredible speed, like a bolt of lightning, closing the distance to him in an instant.
Xiao Yu was completely stunned. He had wanted to show off in front of Bai Ying, but he didn't expect to be easily defeated by Qinglong in just one exchange.
He looked at the azure dragon charging towards him menacingly. Even though he had brought a substitute talisman and wouldn't really die, he still instinctively felt fear, and a sense of despair rose from his heart.
what to do?
But just then he suddenly heard Bai Ying's voice:
"Get out of the way!"
Then he saw the figure that he always pictured in his mind, now blocking his way.
He took the hit for him!
Bai Ying took out her incense burner artifact and held it firmly in front of Xiao Yu. In an instant, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from the incense burner artifact. The spiritual energy, like a dazzling light, carried powerful fluctuations and permeated the air, directly clashing with the dragon aura emanating from the Azure Dragon. The two powerful forces collided instantly.
The Azure Dragon's aura was majestic and domineering, filled with a sense of oppression. Meanwhile, the spiritual energy emanating from the White Firefly Incense Burner was resilient and agile. The two collided fiercely in mid-air, producing a series of booming sounds. The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this powerful impact, with sand and stones flying, and vegetation swaying.
Bai Ying bit her lip tightly, urging the incense burner artifact with all her might, continuously outputting spiritual power.
Xiao Yu just stared at her, her eyes fixed on the person before her; the shock was indescribable...
He felt his scalp tingling, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
His eyes were fixed on Bai Ying's retreating figure, and an indescribable feeling welled up within him...
Xiao Yu and Bai Ying had never fought side by side before.
At the time, before he approached Bai Ying, he knew nothing about her; he only knew that she was the culprit who had hurt Ruan Xinrou. After getting close to Bai Ying, he only treated her as someone to play with.
These days, although he misses Bai Ying, all he can think about is her gentle and lovely appearance.
Seeing Bai Ying like this in front of him at this moment.
He suddenly felt that she was glowing.
Bai Ying seemed different from what he had imagined, even more attractive to him than he had expected.
In the cultivation world, everything depends on strength. Those with strong strength can attract attention, not to mention that Xiao Yu had been scheming to get close to Bai Ying.
At this moment, Bai Ying was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her. Just looking at her was enough to make him lose himself in her beauty.
Just then, Xiao Yu suddenly heard Bai Ying calling her name, "Xiao Yu".
His heart skipped a beat. Then he saw Bai Ying point to the Azure Dragon's eyes and say to him, "Quick, go and attack there!"
Xiao Yu quickly took out his magical artifact and attacked the Azure Dragon's eyes.
The azure dragon flew into a rage and lashed its tail at Xiao Yu. Bai Ying blocked his way, taking the hit for him.
“I’ll distract it. Xiao Yu, keep hitting its eyes. Miao Miao, attack its vital spot.”
"Okay!" Wang Miaomiao rushed over as well.
The group dared not be careless. Although the dragon in front of them could not be considered a true dragon, but only a Jiaolong, it already possessed dragon aura and was far more difficult to deal with than an ordinary demon beast.
Bai Ying led the battle, taking the brunt of the attacks, while the other two only needed to unleash their full power.
Xiao Yu had never fought a monster so comfortably before. When he saw the enormous creature in front of him crash down, he couldn't believe his eyes.
He walked excitedly to Bai Ying, his face beaming with an unstoppable smile, and he even wanted to hug her.
But as soon as he reached out his hand, he heard Wang Miaomiao's alert voice ring out.
"Bai Ying, let's go back quickly. I suddenly remembered that my brother needs to talk to you. I forgot to tell you, and I'm really worried."
As she spoke, she tried to pull Bai Ying away from there.
Bai Ying nodded to her and said to Xiao Yu, "Then I'll be going now."
After she and the two of them divided the spoils, she hurriedly left.
Xiao Yu felt a pang of regret; he still had so much to say to Bai Ying.
He watched Bai Ying's departing figure with reluctance, his eyes unwilling to look away.
He had never experienced this side of Bai Ying so closely before. Although he knew Bai Ying was very strong, they hadn't fought side by side back then.
Being able to fight alongside her at this moment, he suddenly felt a surge of satisfaction.
He even had a thought in his mind: if only he could stay like this with Bai Ying forever.
Xiao Yu was jolted out of his daze when Ruan Xinrou's voice rang in his ears.
Ruan Xinrou was originally nearby. Seeing that Bai Ying had left and Xiao Yu hadn't looked for her yet, she came looking for her.
Upon seeing Xiao Yu, she couldn't wait to say to him:
"Senior Brother Xiao, when are you going to bring Bai Ying back to Huayang Sect?"
Ruan Xinrou didn't want to wait a moment longer; she wanted to dig out Bai Ying's spiritual root and golden core right now.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Even if we are to bring her to Huayang Sect, we have to take it one step at a time."
“But…” Ruan Xinrou frowned, her tone slightly sour, “Senior Brother Xiao, I’m afraid you’ll fall for her and then be unable to bear treating her that way.”
Xiao Yu smiled and gently patted Ruan Xinrou's head.
"How could that be? I want to take her back even more than you do."
