Wildflowers bloom in profusion, and towering peaks surround the area.
One figure walked in front, and another figure followed behind.
Leading the way was a handsome man dressed in white, his face pale and appearing quite weak. Behind him followed a beautiful young woman in purple, her eyes fixed on the man in white.
"Hey, you don't look too good. Don't you really need my help to treat you?" Ayao asked.
Xu Mubai turned around and looked at her coldly:
"unnecessary."
Ayao smiled and stepped forward, then reached behind him to take his hand, as if she were coaxing a ruffled cat: "Are you still angry?"
Xu Mubai shook off her hand; he had had enough of her unpredictable temper.
"It's none of your business."
After saying that, Xu Mubai continued walking forward. Ayao snorted softly, also annoyed. She followed beside Xu Mubai, thinking, "Let's see how long you can hold out."
As they walked, a chilling aura emanated from ahead, followed by a massive plume of red mist rising from the horizon. Many figures seemed to be moving within this mist. Xu Mubai stopped, and A Yao also halted. Then, a pressure from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator enveloped the surrounding area, causing Xu Mubai's already pale face to turn even whiter.
From within the red mist emerged a tall, but extremely ugly man. Beside this tall, ugly man stood a handsome, red-haired man.
The people who came were indeed Tianji Sanren and Kong Long.
When Tianji Sanren saw Ayao, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
Although he had heard Kong Long describe how stunning A Yao was, seeing her in person revealed that she was even more beautiful than he had imagined. With fair skin and delicate features, pearly white teeth and red lips, bright and captivating eyes, and graceful bearing, she was indeed a peerless beauty, unparalleled in the world.
He glanced at A Yao, and half of his bones melted.
She is truly an unparalleled beauty.
The thought of possessing such an unparalleled beauty and having her beneath him already excites him.
"What a beauty! What's your name, beauty?" Tianji Sanren leered at A Yao.
Despite the oppressive aura of Tianji Sanren, Xu Mubai stood in front of A Yao. A Yao, of course, didn't take Tianji Sanren seriously; she was pleased to see Xu Mubai blocking her way.
See, his actions speak louder than his words.
Xu Mubai was in a panic. This guy was a Nascent Soul cultivator! He was seriously injured; how could he possibly withstand a Nascent Soul cultivator?
When Tianji Sanren saw Xu Mubai blocking A Yao's way, his face turned cold. However, he didn't take Xu Mubai seriously at all and reached out to strike Xu Mubai with a palm, intending to kill this eyesore.
The surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy) surged wildly towards Tianji Sanren's palm, and then a huge red palm print appeared in the sky. The approaching palm print, accompanied by a terrifying howl, caused the surrounding peaks to show signs of collapsing inch by inch. Xu Mubai waved his hand in the air, and hundreds of cyan talismans suddenly appeared in front of him.
The hundreds of cyan talismans formed a powerful cyan shield, blocking the way.
"You should leave quickly—"
Xu Mubai said to Ayao behind him.
But Ayao, who was behind him, didn't leave. She chuckled and reached out to hug Xu Mubai's waist, leaning against his back.
"I'm not leaving."
"What are you doing?" Xu Mubai asked anxiously.
Bang!
When the huge red palm print collided with the blue shield, fine cracks appeared on the blue shield, and then the shield shattered.
Seeing this, Xu Mubai gritted his teeth and threw out a jade ruyi magic weapon from his storage bag. The jade ruyi shot out like lightning, and Xu Mubai made a hand seal with one hand and shouted:
"burst!"
The jade ruyi emitted a blinding light and collided with the huge red palm print, creating a deafening roar. In the instant of the explosion, Xu Mubai turned around and hugged A Yao's slender waist, trying to escape with her at top speed. However, before they could fly more than ten zhang, the entire world was sealed off by a force.
The red mist enveloped this world, from which countless figures emerged. These figures were vengeful spirits. There were so many vengeful spirits that Xu Mubai, who was already weak, could not hold on for long and needed A Yao to support him to stand up.
"My beauty, a wise man knows when to yield. A beauty like you should attach yourself to a strong man; this guy is useless." Tianji Sanren said to A Yao with a lecherous look.
Seeing that Ayao remained unmoved, he smiled and said:
"If you come over here obediently now, I might spare his life."
Upon hearing this, Ayao released Xu Mubai's hand.
Seeing this, Tianji Sanren was very pleased. Kong Long, who was next to him, looked at A Yao and thought to himself: If Tianji Sanren ever gets tired of this woman, can he take her over and have a taste of her?
Seeing A Yao walk forward, Xu Mubai suddenly grabbed her arm.
"No!" Xu Mubai really thought that A Yao was going to submit to someone else for him. How could he let such a thing happen? Even if it meant self-destruction, he would kill that Tianji Sanren and the red-haired man next to him.
Ayao laughed and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to talk to me?"
"What time is it? How can you still be in the mood to talk about this kind of thing?" Xu Mubai said anxiously.
"Of course I'm in the mood."
Seeing that A Yao and Xu Mubai were still flirting at this moment, Tianji Sanren was furious. Fine, he'd just grab her. He appeared in front of A Yao in a flash, reaching out to grab her soft, boneless arm. His speed, at the Nascent Soul stage, was too fast for Xu Mubai. Xu Mubai was shocked, watching as that filthy hand was about to touch A Yao.
The dark power lurking deep within Xu Mubai's soul was almost about to burst forth.
However, just as Tianji Sanren's hand was about to touch A Yao, a force blasted Tianji Sanren away. Tianji Sanren's face showed unprecedented fear. After flying several feet away, his body turned into splattered blood, and his primordial spirit was also annihilated.
This scene was too sudden. Xu Mubai was shocked, and Kong Long was extremely shocked.
Who made the move?
Suddenly, they saw Ayao smile; she smiled.
Kong Long let out a heart-wrenching scream. His body was pulled by several forces in space. In an instant, his head, hands, and feet were torn apart by those forces, and he was torn apart by five horses.
His nascent soul wanted to escape again.
But this time, the terrifying force pulled his nascent soul back.
Xu Mubai stared blankly as Kong Long's nascent soul was trapped by a transparent, light golden light shield and flew into A Yao's hand.
