In an instant, Chu You's face turned pale, and she cried out in alarm as she rushed to hug Meng Wanwan.
However, he was too young. Although he had spiritual roots, Meng Xiuyi had not yet found a suitable cultivation method for him, and he had not yet started cultivating. He was just an ordinary person.
Little Chu You couldn't react in time, while Yun Zhao, who was holding the little fox, could only free one hand to catch Meng Wanwan.
But they are still quite far apart.
Meng Wanwan never expected that her angry kick would cause her to fall to the ground.
Her terrified screams were just as loud as the fight between the two people next to her, successfully drawing their attention.
Just then, the little fox in Yun Zhao's arms suddenly twitched its ears, opened its emerald green eyes, and then lightly jumped towards Meng Wanwan.
With a sweep of its long tail, it caught Meng Wanwan, and the two landed gently on the ground.
Everything happened too fast, and Meng Wanwan, who had already landed, screeched the brakes.
She turned and glared at the little fox: "The voice in my head, it really was you, wasn't it?"
A pitiful, childish voice came through: "Master, Niannian didn't mean to ignore you. Niannian was just born, and my abilities haven't fully developed yet. For now, I can only squeeze out my power for critical moments... I just sensed that Master was in danger, and Niannian forced herself to wake up. Now my power is used up. I'm sorry, Master, Niannian can't protect you for the time being..."
After saying that, the little fox gradually closed its eyes, and Meng Wanwan no longer had that childish voice in her mind.
Meng Wanwan was stunned. Her conscience, which was already somewhat guilty, began to ache, making her feel particularly guilty.
So this little fox can actually talk to her in her mind. Could this be the companion that Meng Xiuyi was talking about?
Meng Wanwan had just transmigrated, and her values and understanding hadn't yet aligned with this world. She wasn't fully on guard, but what had just happened gave her a taste of her own medicine.
On the other side, when Li Zhuo saw the little fox saving the child, the greed in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
He abandoned his fight with Meng Xiuyi and rushed towards the barrier.
"A spirit fox, it really is a spirit fox. Ha, a spirit fox that protects its master has already gained intelligence. It is indeed a treasure."
In the Nine Realms Continent, cultivators include not only humans but also demonic beasts and spirit beasts. Demonic beasts devour flesh and blood, relying on the power of their bloodline to cultivate; they develop intelligence late, making cultivation difficult.
Spirit beasts are different. They have shed their beastly instincts and gained intelligence through the creation of heaven and earth. They cultivate with spiritual energy just like humans. If they can form a bond with a human, then the human and the spirit beast will complement each other.
Monsters are easy to find, but spirit beasts are hard to find, and naturally born spirit beasts that inherit bloodlines are even harder to find.
Coincidentally, the spirit fox is a type of naturally occurring spirit beast.
Li Zhuo slapped the barrier with his claw, a wild smile on his face.
However, the next second, the light blue barrier emitted a gentle light, which directly blasted the person away.
The man screamed and flew ten meters backward, crashing into the ground and creating a crater.
Meng Xiuyi, who had rushed back and already raised her sword, paused for a moment, then looked at her hand with great confusion.
He's a Golden Core cultivator, right?
Li Zhuo, the man in black, climbed out of the pit and roared, "Good, good, there are also barrier magic treasures. Today I'm going to take them all!"
After saying that, a small purple spinning top appeared in his hand.
"rise!"
He tossed the purple top into the air, and suddenly it grew larger, with a purple bolt of lightning extending from it.
The top began to spin, and the electric light formed a rotating electric whip due to its rotation.
Meng Xiuyi's expression turned serious. She pulled the two children away from the barrier.
"Hurry up."
This level of magic weapon is something his flesh and blood body cannot withstand.
Yun Zhao held Meng Wanwan in his arms, and Chu You held the little fox. The moment the two children left the barrier, the purple electric ring struck it, shattering it to pieces.
Li Zhuo sneered: "Trying to run? Did you ask my magic weapon first?"
He reached out and put the purple top back, then with a flick of his arm, a set of golden armor suddenly materialized on his left arm.
"Go to hell!"
Li Zhuo jumped up and slammed his armored left arm down hard on Meng Xiuyi.
Meng Xiuyi raised her sword to defend, and the golden light collided with the light blue light, instantly creating a wave of energy that spread out from them.
Without the protection of the barrier, the two children were the first to be hit and were swept away.
Meng Wanwan felt a suffocating aura pressing down on her, which then struck her hard.
The next moment, she felt a shattering pain all over her body, as if her limbs and bones were being crushed bit by bit.
She fainted before she could even scream.
Yun Zhao shielded Meng Wanwan with his body, but even though he tried his best, the attack and pressure of spiritual energy were something that the physical body could not withstand.
He heard a muffled groan from his arms, and quickly struggled to get up. He saw that the baby's face was deathly pale, his eyes were closed, and he was completely lifeless.
Yun Zhao's face immediately turned pale.
"Master...Master...Little...little child, die..."
Yun Zhao knelt on the ground, trembling, and looked in horror at Meng Xiuyi, who was facing off with a serious expression.
Meng Xiuyi had already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, so even if Yun Zhao spoke very softly, he could still hear him.
When Meng Xiuyi heard the word "death," she paused.
The calm expression on Junya's face gradually cracked.
Then it became unusually cold and damp.
"You killed my doll." The usually refined and gentle voice was now icy cold as each word was uttered from his mouth.
Meng Xiuyi felt the spiritual energy in her meridians boiling.
Involuntarily, they began to gather in their hands.
anger.
This was a feeling he had never experienced in his life before; at this moment, he finally tasted it.
His doll!
A newborn baby!
Dead?!
Even though her birth shocked him greatly, she was still his baby!
Li Zhuo sneered and used his prosthetic hand to grab Meng Xiuyi's face.
That exceptionally handsome face disgusted him.
Meng Xiuyi pushed off with both feet and retreated sharply, barely dodging Li Zhuo's attack.
He threw the sword in front of his chest, and quickly formed hand seals, and the sword split into three.
Meng Xiuyi raised her head slightly, her gaze turning cold, and raised her sword finger slightly, the tips of the three swords pointing at Li Zhuo.
"Die!"
The two words, "quenched in ice," were uttered from his mouth, and the three swords suddenly transformed into blue rays of light, shooting towards Li Zhuo.
Everything happened too fast. Before he could retract his prosthetic hand that was attacking Meng Xiuyi, three beams of light had already shot into his eyes.
One sword pierced the brow, another the prosthetic arm, and yet another the arm armor.
Before Li Zhuo could figure out what had happened, he knelt on the ground with a vacant look in his eyes and gradually lost his life.
With Li Zhuo's death, the spiritual energy in his meridians gradually quieted down, and Meng Xiuyi collapsed to the ground. He clutched his wildly beating chest with one hand and stared blankly at his hand. The feeling of power he had just experienced was both unfamiliar and exciting.
His two apprentices dared not disturb him and could only watch him with worry.
However, Meng Xiuyi quickly regained his composure. He took a deep breath and said softly, "Master is a little tired. Yunzhao, bring her over here."
