Long Xiaoyu walked step by step toward Liu Jiantang, tears welling in her eyes. She dropped the sword in her hand, and the flute music was melodious and graceful, but Liu Jiantang was in great pain.
He roared hoarsely, his voice now incredibly low, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer... I'll kill you!"
“Be good, listen to me, give me your hand, I won’t hurt you…” Long Xiaoyu put down the jade flute in her hand and reached out her hand to approach Liu Jiantang step by step.
Just then, Liu Jiantang, who had been struggling with his head in his hands, suddenly lowered his hands, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Xiao Yuhan, who was observing from a distance, sensed something was wrong and transformed into lightning, appearing directly in front of Long Xiaoyu.
At this moment, Liu Jiantang had already attacked. Xiao Yuhan gritted his teeth and struck out with a palm. This strike mobilized almost all the remaining spiritual power in his body. When the two palms met, Xiao Yuhan felt a terrifying impact pass through his palm to his internal organs. His left arm was broken into pieces, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, he did not lose consciousness immediately and grabbed Long Xiaoyu with one hand and started running.
Liu Jiantang relentlessly pursued her, while Miao Xiaodie, who was trying to escape not far away, looked helpless as she saw her savior about to be caught by Liu Jiantang.
"Sigh... What kind of person is he? He clearly can't win, but he still tries to save people. Forget it, forget it, I owe him..."
Miao Xiaodie suddenly appeared in front of Liu Jiantang and struck with a palm. The two clashed, and Liu Jiantang was knocked back dozens of feet and crashed heavily onto the rocks in the distance, creating a large crater. However, he seemed to be unharmed, while blood trickled from the corner of Miao Xiaodie's mouth.
Xiao Yuhan looked at Miao Xiaodie in surprise, thinking that this girl was completely different from before.
"Look at my hammer! Get lost! I can't beat him! I'll block one more time at most, then I'll run! Hurry up and get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan grabbed Long Xiaoyu and fled, yelling, "Be careful!"
Long Xiaoyu, standing beside him, looked dejected. "Put me down. Only I can stop him!"
Xiao Yuhan thought to himself, "You were almost killed just now, and you still want to stop him? That's just wishful thinking." So he said, "Let's find a place to discuss this first. Only when my senior brother, the sect leader, arrives can we possibly stop him. Don't worry, he's my senior brother too!"
Although Long Xiaoyu was worried, her expression softened a little at this moment.
After fleeing for an unknown period of time, Xiao Yuhan and his companion finally reunited with Miao Xiaodie as night fell.
Miao Die's face was deathly pale, and she could barely stand when she saw Xiao Yuhan. "This favor... I've already repaid it, okay? That's all, I can't take it anymore!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Miao Xiaodie collapsed on the spot. Xiao Yuhan found a cave and settled her down. As soon as he put her down, cocoons began to grow on Miao Xiaodie's body again, completely enveloping her. This time, even when she emerged from the cocoons late at night, she was still very weak, but much better than before.
Xiao Yuhan asked with some confusion, "Isn't your Heavenly Silkworm Molt supposed to allow you to regenerate? Why are you still so weak this time?"
Miao Xiaodie tilted her head and looked at him. "Are you stupid? The Heavenly Silkworm Molting can preserve one's youthful appearance. It's usually done once every hundred years. I wouldn't use it lightly unless it was a life-or-death situation. Moreover, each time it brings someone back to life, it takes at least ten years of my cultivation. I was just using my cultivation technique to heal my injuries, not the Heavenly Silkworm Molting. But... how do you know about the Heavenly Silkworm Molting I cultivate? This is the ultimate technique of my Five Immortals Sect. Even the sect leader might not be qualified to cultivate it..."
Xiao Yuhan thought to herself that she couldn't very well explain that she knew about this technique from the system, so she explained, "I saw this technique in an ancient book, and I was only sure after you used it once before."
Miao Xiaodie nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Long Xiaoyu, who was staring blankly at the love bracelet on her wrist not far away, and asked, "Sister, what were you doing before? Didn't you know that Liu Jiantang had already become a demon?"
Long Xiaoyu glanced listlessly at Miao Xiaodie, "He's only been afflicted by the Blood King Gu. The Blood King Scripture I've learned since childhood can cleanse his bloodline, thus curing the Gu. So you shouldn't stop me!"
Xiao Yuhan shook her head. "Long Xiaoyu, didn't you see that your senior brother had lost his mind? He was going to kill you!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyu sneered, "Isn't this exactly what you self-proclaimed righteous immortal cultivators want? Even if I die, I'm confident I can save him. Perfect, it fulfills your wishes. I, this demoness, should die sooner rather than later, so as not to drag down your Heavenly Sword Sect's prized disciple!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan sighed helplessly. In fact, he understood that Long Xiaoyu was different from those Blood God Sect disciples. She was just a silly woman who wholeheartedly loved Liu Jiantang, but they were separated because of some ridiculous reasons such as prejudice against different sects and the distinction between good and evil. Naturally, she had grievances in her heart.
Thinking of this, in order to prevent this woman from acting recklessly, Xiao Yuhan immediately said, "You are wrong! The people in the sect want you dead because you killed our master, but I think you should not die. The death of our master was suspicious. Although you were the only one present, it does not mean that you killed him."
Long Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Yuhan in disbelief, "You believe me?"
Xiao Yuhan thought to herself that she knew the person wasn't killed by you, so of course she would believe you. She then nodded firmly and said, "In my opinion, one's background does not determine whether a person is good or bad. Even if you are the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect, it doesn't necessarily mean you are a ruthless witch. Take our Heavenly Sword Sect for example, not everyone is upright and honest. Human nature is always extremely contradictory."
Long Xiaoyu smiled slightly, then sighed. This sigh seemed to release all the grievances she had suffered over the years. Soon, she took out a secret manual and tossed it over. "This is the Blood King Scripture. If I can't save him, you can study this. Maybe you can find a way!"
"Wait!" Xiao Yuhan realized something was wrong and immediately said, "Don't think about going it alone. At least on this matter concerning Senior Brother Liu, we are on the same side."
"No need. I have my own way to save him. I don't need your help. Besides, your sect leader and third senior sister Shen Huairu probably hate me to the core. By the time they arrive, they'll probably kill me before they even think about how to save him!"
Xiao Yuhan stepped forward to stop Long Xiaoyu, who was about to leave. "You shouldn't be thinking of dying. Do you think that exchanging your life for your senior brother will make everyone happy?"
"Hmph! It's none of your business!"
"That fool Liu Jiantang has feelings for you, otherwise he wouldn't have lost to Long Tu, and he wouldn't have been turned into the Blood King Gu!"
"So what?"
“Actually… you can still be together, once this matter is over…” Before Xiao Yuhan could finish speaking, Miao Xiaodie suddenly interrupted him from not far away.
