Sensing the killing intent in his opponent, Yan Xuehen was startled: "Are you crazy? You're injured and you still want to fight me?"
At this moment, she was more eager to find Zu'an and get to the bottom of things, so she naturally didn't want to waste time here.
Moreover, between grandmasters, no one will truly fight to the death unless absolutely necessary. Regardless of who wins or loses, the winner will most likely suffer a severe injury that is difficult to heal.
Yun Jianyue sneered, "You're injured now, aren't you? We're evenly matched. Do you think you can scare me?"
"What is your relationship with that person that you would risk your life to fight me for?" Yan Xuehen asked while summoning the Flying Snow Sword to defend against the other party's attack.
Yun Jianyue's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent: "He was kind to me and was my friend. I have nothing to repay him with. You killed him, so I will avenge him!"
"Friends?" Yan Xuehen thought to herself that this female demon would actually call Zu An "friends," which was something that had never happened before.
For so many years, the title of the leader of the Demonic Sect has been enough to stop children from crying at night. She has always been a loner, and when has anyone ever heard of her having any friends?
Now he's actually calling a young upstart his friend, and he's even willing to risk everything to duel a grandmaster for the other's sake.
Considering the previous times, it seems she also came out to help Zuan.
There's no way there's anything fishy about the relationship between these two!
Yan Xuehen's face was frosty. It was clear that the two had known each other for a long time, and for some reason, the thought made her very unhappy.
Furthermore, having been rivals with Yun Jianyue for many years, she is now unwilling to reveal the truth, lest it appear as if she is afraid of the other party.
"It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. It's just that that guy was obsessed with women and went astray." Yan Xuehen knew that she could avoid this battle by slightly softening her stance, but she was always proud and would never show weakness in front of her old rival.
"Prepare to die!" Yun Jianyue could no longer hold back and used the Crescent Moon Wheel to attack her directly.
Yan Xuehen immediately picked up the Flying Snow Sword and went to meet them.
The clash between grandmasters was incredibly powerful; the surrounding mines shook violently, and nearby tunnels collapsed.
However, the falling earth and rocks could not harm the two grandmasters at all, and they were unaffected as they unleashed their respective ultimate skills.
With one eager for revenge and the other stubborn and arrogant, they fought fiercely, their battle reaching a fever pitch.
Meanwhile, Zu'an, who was speeding through the mine tunnel with Yu Yanluo, stopped when he felt a terrifying pressure coming from afar behind him.
Yu Yanluo clearly sensed it too: "Who is Yan Xuehen fighting?"
Zu An replied, "Who cares who she's with? With her high level of cultivation, unless it's the emperor himself, who can hurt her?"
Yu Yanluo nodded. It was true. She and Zu An were both top-tier experts. They had no chance against each other when they joined forces. If Zu An hadn't come up with a solution, they would probably be dead by now.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What method did you use to get Yan Xuehen to let us go?"
Zu An's face flushed. To be honest, the method he had just used was a bit underhanded. How could he say it directly? So he could only vaguely say, "Perhaps she had a change of heart and was worried that killing me would cause a rift between master and disciple in the future."
"But then she has no reason to let me go, right?" In fact, Yu Yanluo also guessed this, but she couldn't understand how she was able to escape.
Zuan said, "Perhaps it's because you haven't harmed anyone over the years, but instead saved many people; or perhaps it's because you're so beautiful that even if she were a woman, she would be captivated by you and wouldn't have the heart to destroy such a work of art that is blessed by the heavens."
Yu Yanluo blushed and said with a light reproach, "You just know how to make fun of me."
However, hearing him praise her for being beautiful, she couldn't help but feel happy.
In fact, she had heard countless people praise her beauty over the years, many of whom were even more eloquent than Zu'an, showering her with compliments. Although she always responded with a smile, she remained calm and composed.
She was even troubled by the fact that her appearance had brought her too many unnecessary troubles and problems.
But now, hearing Zu'an's praise, she became unusually shy.
Yu Yanluo was already a femme fatale, and now, with her shy expression, she was even more charming and alluring. Even Zu An, who had seen a lot, was momentarily stunned by her beauty.
Yu Yanluo also noticed his burning gaze, feeling a mix of shyness and sweetness in her heart: "Is it pretty?"
Zuan nodded and said with a smile, "It looks good."
He had originally intended to use some fancy words to describe it, but when their eyes met, he felt it was unnecessary. Instead, this most sincere and simple feeling was the best.
Yu Yanlu smiled, adding a touch of brightness to the dark mine: "You can watch for as long as you want from now on."
She wasn't some naive young girl who would shy away from her feelings.
They already had feelings for each other, and what's more, during their escape from the mine, when they faced Yan Xuehen's pursuit, they were willing to risk their lives to save each other.
Having already gone through thick and thin together, their relationship naturally progressed.
Zu'an, however, failed to grasp the implied meaning in her words and instead joked, "Watch as long as you want? Then can you watch whenever you want?"
"When would you like to watch it?" Yu Yanluo's eyes sparkled, and her voice softened.
"Like at night?" Zuan gradually realized that something was wrong, but he still didn't think about it in that direction.
To everyone's surprise, Yu Yanluo readily agreed: "Okay."
Zuan was stunned. What was going on?
