Just then, a giant sword suddenly slashed towards her, accompanied by a howling sound of wind and thunder. Judging from this, not to mention her delicate body, even another bronze statue would likely lose an arm or a leg if it were struck.
Qiao Xueying instinctively tried to dodge, but she had no foothold in mid-air and couldn't move or dodge at all. As the sword grew larger and larger in her eyes, she sighed inwardly and resignedly closed her eyes.
I didn't want to live anyway, so dying like this wouldn't be a big deal. I just don't know if that guy from Zuan can break this seal to save the young lady.
For some reason, the thought of Zu'an made her angry. She had died because of him, and she wondered if he would feel even a little bit of guilt when he thought about it in the future.
However, when Qiao Xueying thought of his lazy appearance, she dismissed the idea. How could that guy possibly feel guilty towards me?
"You're probably scolding me again." Just then, a teasing voice came from beside her, and she felt herself being embraced in a warm embrace.
She hurriedly opened her eyes and saw that Zu An was looking at her with a half-smile. She was stunned.
However, she quickly realized the danger before her and hurriedly pointed behind him, saying, "Sword...sword..."
She was so flustered and nervous that she couldn't speak a complete sentence for a moment.
A flash of black light appeared in Zuan's hand, and the fatal dagger had already severed her hair. Then, he moved several feet horizontally in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the sword strike.
The giant sword, which had almost grazed her nose, stirred up a gust of wind. Qiao Xueying's beautiful hair fell in disarray onto her face. She stared blankly at the man holding her, her heart pounding wildly.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I blushing? Why is my heart beating so fast? Is it because of this guy...?" Qiao Xueying's mind was in turmoil.
“I saved your life again, so we’re even now,” Zuan said with a smile.
Qiao Xueying blushed, her mouth slightly open, but she couldn't say anything.
"Is your heart racing right now, and are you experiencing a strange feeling you've never felt before?" Zuan continued to ask.
"So what if it is?" Qiao Xueying regretted it as soon as she said it. How could she admit it? This guy would probably be smug.
Who knew that Zuan said, "Don't think you've fallen in love with me. This is a normal phenomenon, academically known as the suspension bridge effect. When a person is crossing a suspension bridge with trepidation, their heart will involuntarily beat faster. If they happen to meet another person at this time, they will mistakenly interpret the increased heart rate caused by this situation as the other person making them fall in love, thus developing feelings of love for the other person."
Qiao Xueying: "..."
She finally came to her senses, and angrily shoved him away: "Me, fall in love with you? I could fall in love with a pig, a dog, even a zombie, but I could never fall in love with someone like you!"
Anger level from Qiao Xueying +111!
Zuan was speechless. You say such things, but why is your anger level so low? "Don't worry, I won't like a heartless and sharp-tongued girl like you either."
He didn't dare delay a word and charged towards the bronze figures with his dagger.
These giant bronze figures had "ropes" tied to each other's feet. Of course, Zu An didn't intend to use Qiao Xueying to trip them up, because with their immense strength, even if Qiao Xueying were to tear her head off, she probably still wouldn't be able to trip them.
Ultimately, it was just a matter of using Qiao Xueying's hair to entangle all these bronze figures together, allowing them to trip each other with their own strength.
Because they moved in uncoordinated steps, the first one to fall down was quickly pulled in all directions. This made it natural for the others to fall to the ground one by one. If it were a person, they could easily cut the hair wrapped around her feet with a single sword stroke. With their immense strength and the gleaming greatsword, even the toughest hair of Qiao Xueying would not be able to withstand it.
But these bronze figures were clearly not intelligent enough; they kept kicking their feet but could not shake off the hair on their feet.
Zuan seized the opportunity, ran straight to the nearest bronze statue, and stabbed it in the forehead with a dagger.
At such close range, the sheer size of these bronze figures became even more apparent. Looking at their enormous heads and eyes so close to his face, he felt a chill run down his spine. If Xue'er was wrong, he wouldn't even know how he died.
With a soft "pfft!"
His dagger was already embedded in the bronze statue's forehead!
The bronze figure was so huge that the dagger, being so short, felt like a toothpick stuck in a person's body.
Zuan's unease grew stronger, and he immediately drew his dagger and retreated, worried about the bronze man's next counterattack.
To his surprise, as his dagger pierced through, the sharp light in the bronze figure's eyes gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared, turning it back into a lifeless bronze statue.
Zuan was overjoyed; it had worked! He quickly used Sunflower Illusion to appear in front of the other bronze figures, thrusting and withdrawing, then moving on to the next one…
He was incredibly fast; in just a few breaths, he had killed eleven bronze figures. But as he was about to kill the twelfth, the bronze figure roared and broke free of the hair on its feet. As it got up from the ground, it slapped him.
Zu An lightly touched the ground with his toes, immediately changing his momentum and dodging several feet backward. He was already in a low-health state, and even being grazed by the palm wind, let alone being hit by this palm strike, could kill him instantly, so he dared not take the risk.
In that short time, the bronze figure had already stood up again, swaying slightly. Looking at its eleven companions lying on the ground, although it was not very intelligent, it still felt a surge of anger and couldn't help but roar to the sky.
