Chapter 28

In a flash, several plots flashed through Nan Xi's mind and her eyes widened.

【What the hell! 】

When this voice came out, Luo Tingyun and Qi Zhao originally thought that Nan Xi was just frightened. After all, there were so many spirit beasts, and at least five of them were of such a large size, which was simply rare.

Who knew that the next moment, a lot of thoughts quickly popped up in Nan Xi's mind.

[How could I have forgotten this part? ! Oh my! I actually forgot this part! Is it because I have been living too comfortably recently? ]

Golden Wushou, since it is so rare, although it is not easy to be discovered in the Foundation Establishment Stage, at least the nearby sects will have news about it.

To the south, two hundred miles away from the Tianyun Sword Sect, it is exactly the intersection with another sect, that is the Yuxu Sect.

If the Tianyun Sword Sect could receive the message, then obviously the Yuxu Sect could as well. What a coincidence that the heroine and Qi Qian would meet here, and then there would be a bunch of plots. Nan Xi should have reacted to these plots when she heard about Jin Wushou.

But the longer Nan Xi hadn't seen Qi Qian, the longer she had thought about the plot.

In addition, in the Tianyun Sword Sect, it was normal for disciples to deal with some spirit beasts or monsters, or when someone did evil, so Nan Xi did not react immediately.

Of course, it could also be because she doesn't think about these things subconsciously.

[If I hadn't forgotten, today's meal wouldn't have been wasted. 】

When Nan Xi was feeling frustrated, Qi Zhao still didn't quite understand what Nan Xi said, but Luo Tingyun's gaze fell on Nan Xi, his eyes darkened. He was thinking about what Nan Xi knew.

But Nan Xi didn't think too much, and he and Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun were all rushing towards the spirit beast without stopping.

The direction the spirit beasts were heading was towards the town, so there was no way they would let the spirit beasts come.

Nan Xi said: "There are seven in the late stage of foundation building... The previous intelligence was inaccurate. Junior Sister, please tell Master to send someone to help us."

Before, we only knew that they were all in the foundation-building stage, and the Golden Wushou was in the late foundation-building stage, while the rest were in the early stages. However, the difference between the early and late foundation-building stages is equally huge. Monks can make up for the gap with techniques and various means, but spirit beasts cannot. Therefore, three monks in the late foundation-building stage are enough to deal with ten.

In addition, the sect obviously also wanted to give them some experience, so they only allowed three people to come.

But the current situation is that three people are no longer enough to deal with so many spirit beasts.

[There are also people from the Yuxu Sect who are trying to take advantage of the situation... I can't show off my strength at the Jindan stage, otherwise I wouldn't be afraid.]

Luo Tingyun was just reporting the situation here to the headmaster as instructed by Nan Xi. Upon hearing this, he and Qi Zhao looked at each other, and both were puzzled.

People from the Yuxu Sect are here too? Could this be what Nan Xi said she had forgotten?

But how did Nan Xi know that people from the Yuxu Sect came here?

As the two were thinking, they came face to face with the spirit beasts. Compared with the huge spirit beasts, they seemed extremely small. However, under the fierce gaze of the spirit beasts, they each stepped on the head of a spirit beast.

The swords were back in their hands in an instant.

During the foundation-building period, one can temporarily practice space travel, but it consumes a lot of spiritual energy, so one will not practice space travel unless it is necessary.

And at this moment, the beasts rioted, making sharp hisses. The Jinwu Beast also howled fiercely and rushed towards Nan Xi.

The Golden Monkey Beast's offensive power was not strong, but that did not mean it had no means of attack. The two bald horns on its head instantly glowed with light, and it rushed towards Nan Xi with powerful spiritual power.

Looking again, Luo Tingyun and Qi Zhao were both engaged in a fight.

There were only three of them, but there were eleven spirit beasts. The three were immediately surrounded. As for Nan Xi, perhaps because they realized that she was the strongest, or perhaps because she was closest to the Golden Beast, she had a total of five spirit beasts.

Nan Xi dodged quickly, the tip of the sword flashing coldly, and while restraining the enemy, she still had time to look around.

The plot here is important, but not very important either. It is just an introduction that provides an explanation for the more important plot that comes later.

And here, Nan Xi wants to protect Qi Qian from injury.

[How could he have such honor…] Nan Xi’s eyes flickered, unable to complain.

The plot says that when the heroine and her group were exhausted and at their wits' end, Qi Qian showed up with a group of people and saved them from the dire straits.

But after several years of baptism of reality, Nan Xi no longer believed that the Xu Sect was really so upright.

After being restrained for two quarters of an hour, Nan Xi finally saw something discordant in a corner. Her eyes turned, and the next moment, she was deliberately hit by the spirit beast and flew towards that side.

Her idea was just a flash, not a full-fledged one, so the system didn't even notice it.

Nan Xi fell onto the tree and made eye contact with a wide-eyed disciple of the Xu Sect.

She acted shocked, "You..."

Turning his head, he realized that from this angle, he saw four direct disciples of the Yuxu Sect and three inner disciples, including Qi Qian.

Nan Xi quickly stood up, pretending to be weak, looked at Qi Qian and said, "Qian, why are you here?"

Qi Qian had not expected that Nan Xi would be beaten here by coincidence, so their plan to wait until the people of the Yuxu Sect were almost exhausted before taking action failed. The spirit beast also quickly caught up here, and Qi Qian picked up the sword and said coldly: "Meet the enemy."

Suddenly a group of people emerged from the forest. Even Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun were startled. When they saw that they were disciples of the Yuxu Sect, several thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant.

Among them was Nan Xi’s thoughts just now.

[I knew this group of villains were hiding here!] Nan Xi gritted her teeth in her heart, [They are just waiting for us to die and take over. How can such a good thing happen?]

While thinking, Nan Xi quickly flew out of the woods, came to Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun, and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, you should take a rest for a while."

In conclusion, before the system could react and warn her, she moved towards Qi Qian and said loudly, "Qian, I'm here to help you!"

As her voice fell, everyone present looked towards her.

The spirit beasts around Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun were attracted, and therefore they did have some free time. At this time, they were facing two spirit beasts in the early stage of foundation building. Every move they made drew blood, and soon they completely wiped out the spirit beasts' vitality.

Then he looked towards Nan Xi.

Nan Xi was still at the center of the battle circle, doing her best to maintain the unity and seemed to be working very hard.

Even the disciples of the Yuxu Sect were moved when they saw Nan Xi. They had only heard Nan Xi talk about it before, but now they saw that this person really loved their senior brother deeply.

Luo Tingyun also saw Nan Xi's actions.

This was the first time he saw Nan Xi and Qi Qian interacting. Her eyes were full of affection, like that of an infatuated girl. Her previous character and cleverness seemed to have disappeared in an instant. During the fight, she only protected Qi Qian and did not consider herself at all.

Luo Tingyun's heart sank.

But in the next moment, he suddenly remembered something.

Qi Zhao whispered: "Senior Sister is at the Golden Core Stage..."

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was self-evident. Let alone the Golden Core Stage, the strength Nan Xi displayed now was not even at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, at most it was at the late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Moreover, as for the swordsmanship, apart from other things, the sword intent was not even released, it was just like playing.

Looking at the injuries Nan Xi suffered, they were not even as good as the scratches she had just received from the attack of the spirit beast. At most, they could only be considered scratches or light hits.

To sum up, Nan Xi is pretending.

Luo Tingyun's eyes suddenly brightened and he looked at Nan Xi's face carefully. Although he still had an unfamiliar expression, there was still some intelligence in his eyes.

"So that's how it is..." Luo Tingyun murmured softly.

Qi Qian was fighting with the spirit beast, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Luo Tingyun. When he met his gaze, the hand holding the sword suddenly tightened, and the next moment, his movements became more vigorous.

He did not intentionally watch Luo Tingyun fall into danger just now, but he believed in Luo Tingyun's strength and believed that he could protect her when Luo Tingyun encountered real danger, so he carried out the original plan.

Meeting Qi Qian's gaze, he suddenly remembered Nan Xi's words about how Qi Qian liked him, Luo Tingyun: "..."

He no longer paid attention to Qi Qian, but only paid attention to Nan Xi's movements.

Fortunately, with the help of Qi Qian's disciples from the Yuxu Sect, after Luo Tingyun and Qi Zhao killed two spirit beasts, the strength between the two sides reached a balance, so they felt much more relaxed.

After getting some time to catch their breath, Luo Tingyun and Qi Zhao rejoined the battlefield, and the spirit beast suffered more and more injuries.

A trace of panic flashed across Jin Wushou's golden eyes, and suddenly, he looked up. A loud hissing sound shook people's eardrums and made people feel a tingling pain in the brain.

All the monks present paused for a moment, and at that moment, the spirit beasts rioted.

They all used all their strength to attack the monks present. Two of them attacked Qi Zhao.

Nan Xi attracted all the hatred at the beginning, but after Qi Qian arrived, she started to slack off. As time went by, all the hatred she attracted was attracted to Qi Qian, resulting in no spirit beasts attacking her at this time.

[Should I stop it?] Nan Xi thought casually as she looked at the situation.

[It seems that I can't decide to stop it. I think, what posture can I use to avoid getting hurt? Anyway, it will only let them see that I am injured, right? ]

As soon as this thought came out, Luo Tingyun, who had been paying attention to Nan Xi intentionally or unintentionally, suddenly his pupils shrank.

Nan Xi made the decision very quickly, in just a moment. She looked at the attack coming towards Qi Qian's back and suddenly rushed forward.

bite--

The sound of the sword colliding with a hard object was crisp and eye-catching, and the sword light flashed brightly at a certain moment.

Nan Xi did not feel any pain when she reacted. When her vision became clear, she smelled a faint fragrance at the tip of her nose and saw Luo Tingyun's jawline, while the other party lowered his head with an indifferent look.

"I don't quite understand why you would sacrifice yourself to save him."

When Nan Xi was put down, she looked back and the scene just now flashed through her mind.

At the moment she rushed towards Qi Qian, Luo Tingyun also flew over. The sword light slashed down, cutting the spirit beast's attack into pieces in just a moment, clean and neat.

Nan Xi was hugged and quickly put on the ground.

Luo Tingyun personally demonstrated that there is more to saving people than just getting hurt yourself.

Nan Xi was in a daze for a while, and the surroundings were quiet for a while, because that attack seemed to be the last effort of the spirit beasts. Seeing that it didn't work, they turned around and fled.

Even Li Yunzheng, who had just arrived, slowly found a place to squat down to see how things would turn out.

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Junior sister is so handsome! 】

Nan Xi's eyes suddenly became starry.

[Junior sister hugged me just now, didn’t she? Right, right? Oh, so shy! And she said she wasn’t used to being close to people! ]

Luo Tingyun: "..."
