The trident's head glowed with a dark green light and emitted a strong stench.
On her left and right sides, two slender assassins simultaneously drew their swords!
This first blow was meant to kill her!
Behind Long Qilan was a large rock, and people above were also wielding sledgehammers and smashing it down.
She finally disregarded her skirt, gripped the spear tightly with both hands, let out a delicate cry, and swung the spear in a wide arc, creating a whirlwind around her!
The range of the spear was enough to force back attackers from all sides.
These assassins were still afraid of death, and they didn't want to be traded one for one.
In that instant, the assassins in the four directions—left, right, front, and top—all paused for a moment.
Long Qilan was still struggling, but she knew that she couldn't hold out against the gunfire for long. Now, her only option was to find an opening and jump out.
But suddenly, she felt a chill on her thigh.
Almost instinctively, she swung her spear and charged to the left.
A sharp sword suddenly emerged from the ground where it had been!
A cultivator skilled in earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the ground) rushed up and cleaved Long Qilan in two from below if she had been even a second slower.
Although it wasn't a fatal blow, blood gushed from Long Qilan's thigh instantly!
Her hands instantly lost their strength. Even though she was at the Earthly Cultivation Mountain Realm, she was now blinded and weakly holding onto the spear, asking a question.
Who exactly are you?
"You don't need to know."
The masked man waved his hand, and the assassins gathered again.
Long Qilan could no longer escape, and she closed her eyes helplessly.
But what followed was not the agony of impending death, but a gust of wind from a sword whistling past his ear.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
"Smack!"
Just in that instant.
The wind stopped.
Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.
Only the birdsong in the mountains continued endlessly.
Long Qilan slowly opened her violet-like eyes and saw a masked boy in front of her, holding a thin, water-like sword in one hand and with the other hand behind his back, looking at her calmly.
The assassins who worked together so well, along with the six cultivators at the Earthly Cultivation Mountain Realm, lay silently on the ground.
They died in an instant?
"Ouch..."
With the threat gone, Long Qilan immediately relaxed. She couldn't even say thank you, and simply slumped down to the side.
The wound on her thigh wouldn't stop bleeding, and she was about to bleed to death.
But in front of the Celestial Cultivator, this injury is nothing.
Yue Qingling stepped forward, hugged her slender waist, and casually touched the wound on her thigh. A crystal of ice immediately solidified on the wound, stopping the bleeding.
Then, he took out the healing pills he had just obtained from the cave from his storage bag and put them into Long Qilan's mouth.
Seeing that her pale face was gradually regaining its color, Yue Qingling carried her on her back and drifted away.
Before long, other cultivators will arrive. They will examine the corpses, take all the treasures from them, and then rush to the mountaintop, only to find the cave completely empty.
As for the identities of these assassins, Yue Qingling didn't care.
He just needs to save people.
He had little interest in the power struggles and infighting within the Dragon Saint Kingdom.
Yue Qingling carried the slender Long Qilan on her back until they reached a cave, where she finally put her down.
Long Qilan is a full 1.8 meters tall, one centimeter taller than Yue Qingling.
The woman was particularly tall; at first glance, Long Qilan was considerably taller than him.
So, along the way, Yue Qingling wasn't entirely comfortable carrying it.
Despite her striking beauty, he couldn't muster any interest in this large, beautiful girl.
"Qingling, don't you like this type?"
Huang Xinning asked with a smile, her tone slightly teasing.
Yue Qingling's behavior just now clearly showed that she was a little impatient, and she could clearly feel that Yue Qingling didn't care about this big girl.
So Huang Xinning was quite happy.
