"Heh, purpose? My purpose has always been only Bai Yao. How about this... Xiao Yuhan, you have Bai Yao do something for me, and I will no longer make things difficult for any of you. As for you, I also have a way to get rid of the system and let you live. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan immediately understood her meaning. It seemed that his guess was correct; this woman indeed had a way to deal with the system, and its ultimate goal was not Bai Yao, but rather to obtain something through Bai Yao.
At this moment, "it" has possessed the original Su Li, so "it" might also be an extremely powerful being, and might actually have a way to eliminate the system.
But is this woman really trustworthy? And... the system will never allow me any opportunity to come into contact with "it".
As expected, the system spoke again the moment Xiao Yuhan fell silent: "Please do not establish any communication with 'it', and do not attempt to trade with 'it'. This is advice and a warning."
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yuhan realized that since Su Li could make the system wary, as long as the two remained evenly matched, he would be safe.
Therefore, Xiao Yuhan became more and more hesitant, but soon he made a decision in his heart: to get rid of Su Li first and see what this "it" really was.
So he made another move, but Su Li was very disdainful, as if he thought that no matter how much effort Xiao Yuhan put in, it would be in vain.
But the next moment, she froze on the spot. As the crimson lightning flashed, the barrier, restricted by the mysterious power shining from Xiao Yuhan's palm, shattered on the spot.
Xiao Yuhan showed no mercy, casually waving his hand, and the crimson lightning on his body flew in all directions, forming nine interconnected lightning orbs. "This is the strongest killing move I prepared for you, the Nine Palaces Demon-Slaying Formation. You are the first to test it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the nine crimson lightning beads attracted each other, and the earth-shattering lightning formed a great array that rose from the ground. At this moment, the entire Heavenly Sword Sect saw the towering crimson pillar of light in the direction of the dungeon on the back mountain. Such a terrifying lightning array attracted the attention of many people.
Xiao Yuhan used almost all of his spiritual power in this attack. He did it just to be on the safe side, since his opponent was also a transmigrator and might have some means of self-preservation. He went all out just in case something unexpected happened.
Because he knew that the real "it" would not die, just like when he killed Miao Xiaodie in Miao territory, "it" was still able to live and possess Su Li.
However, Xiao Yuhan still kept a careful eye on the front until the lightning dissipated. He saw a man holding Su Li, who was seriously injured and whose life was in danger.
The man was dressed in black, with sharp eyes. The black sword in his hand resembled Xiao Yuhan's Junmo Sword. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he gasped for breath. He stared at Xiao Yuhan, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. "Not bad... This Heavenly Sword Sect has really surprised me. I didn't know that besides that swordsman, there was a master like you. Putting everything else aside, being able to injure me is enough for you to brag about for many years!"
Xiao Yuhan had never seen this man before, but he felt very uneasy. He was confident that even the Nine-Tailed Fox would not have been able to withstand that attack, but this man not only saved Su Li, but was also able to stand and talk to him, and seemed to have the strength to fight. His true strength was probably far beyond his imagination.
At this moment, the man made his move without warning. With a swing of his black longsword, a terrifying sword intent swept over. The seemingly ordinary sword energy had its sharpness concealed within, but Xiao Yuhan suddenly realized that this man's sword was definitely more terrifying than Senior Brother Liu's. This casual sword strike was something she could not withstand.
He knew he couldn't escape it, especially since his spiritual energy was almost depleted.
Suddenly, two figures appeared. They were Bai Yao and Ai Yue, who had come from the lotus platform to help. They had been observing from a distance for a long time and probably wanted to help Xiao Yuhan now that they saw that Xiao Yuhan's spiritual power was exhausted.
However, Xiao Yuhan could clearly sense that this person's sword was definitely not something these two juniors could block. He quickly grabbed one of them with each hand and pulled them behind him. Then he hugged them tightly, protecting them in his arms and using his back to block the attack.
Xiao Yuhan was fairly confident that if he fought with all his might now, he might be able to protect the two of them. If he was even luckier, he might not lose his life. After all, the man in black had forced his way into the killing formation he had prepared for Su Li, and he must have been seriously injured as well.
