A second mission with nothing new to offer
This matter was actually the work of the Soul Devouring Hall!
But there is absolutely no way he can let the masked man successfully rescue Chen Zheng, and he must not let this masked man leave alive today!
Xiao Ze pretended to agree to him, and the masked man attacked Xiao Ze fiercely, thinking that Xiao Ze would give him a gap.
The black-clad man's hand had already reached out to Chen Zheng, but Xiao Ze saw clearly that the masked man did not want to save Chen Zheng so much as he wanted the bag around Chen Zheng's waist.
The masked man thought he had successfully obtained what he wanted and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he saw Su Qingjun on the right swinging his sword at him.
Xiao Ze, who had agreed to lend him a helping hand, also gathered all his spiritual power into the sword, intending to kill with one blow.
The masked man had no choice but to withdraw and concentrate on resisting the two oncoming attacks.
Although the masked man's cultivation level was higher than the other two, he was still injured by the full-strength attack from Xiao Ze and the other two.
The duck that was about to be caught flew away. The masked man was furious and swung a stream of spiritual energy to attack Xiao Ze. Xiao Ze was unable to dodge and in desperation took out the self-defense jade pendant given to him by Su Qingjun and took the blow head-on.
The jade pendant shattered directly, and Xiao Ze was affected by the shock wave of spiritual energy. He immediately vomited blood, and the pain made him kneel on one knee on the ground. However, the injury was not serious and he would recover soon.
Su Qingjun was extremely anxious and even wanted to give up on Chen Zheng. She rushed directly to Xiao Ze to check on his condition.
Xiao Ze stopped him with a wave of his hand, indicating to Su Qingjun that he was not in serious trouble.
Su Qingjun continued to fight with the masked man. His anger made his moves more fierce than before, and he even forced the masked man back at one point.
Xiao Ze took out the Huiling Pill and the Healing Pill and stuffed them into his mouth all at once, and only then did he feel better.
The cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage should not be underestimated. Even if one has reached the Perfect Golden Core stage, it is still not enough in front of the Nascent Soul stage.
After all, Su Qingjun's cultivation level was lower than the masked man's. After being pinned down and beaten for a while, the masked man reacted and began to fight back with all his strength.
The rest of the disciples have already met up with Chen Zheng and Xiao Ze and found a place to hide. Although it may not be useful, it is better than nothing.
Su Qingjun and Liang Cheng were still fighting against the masked man, but their decline was becoming increasingly obvious.
This is not a solution. Is there any way to subdue this Nascent Soul cultivator?
I can't think of a solution.
Su Qingjun was hit by a palm from the masked man. Xiao Ze quickly stepped forward to catch the man, then stepped back and put some distance between himself and the masked man.
Looking to the side, Liang Cheng also looked pale and not much better.
"Master will be here soon." Su Qingjun whispered in Xiao Ze's ear.
Xiao Ze felt a little relieved. Since they had external aid, all they had to do now was to delay time.
"My fellow Daoist, what on earth does Chen Zheng have that is worth taking the risk of going against the Tianxuan Sect?"
"Don't try to sow discord between me and Master Yuan. Master Yuan and I hit it off from the moment we met, and he came here to save me!" Chen Zheng said anxiously. It seemed that he had also discovered the real purpose of this man named Yuan. Saying this was probably just to give himself psychological comfort.
While they were talking, Xiao Ze took out a healing pill and stuffed it into Su Qingjun's mouth, and the man's complexion gradually improved.
He just still leaned in Xiao Ze's arms, which made people worry. They didn't know how badly injured he was.
The masked man didn't say anything and came straight towards Xiao Ze and the other man.
Xiao Ze put one arm around Su Qingjun's waist and moved quickly towards Chen Zheng.
After arriving next to Chen Zheng, he reached out and took off a brocade bag hanging on his waist.
He waved the object in his hand at the masked man and said, "Is this what you want, Fellow Daoist Yuan?"
The aura around the masked man was even stronger, as if he was going to kill everyone present and take everything away.
Xiao Ze saw his intention and released his hand from Su Qingjun's waist: "Brother, I will try my best to attract his attention. You can choose the right time to injure him as much as possible."
"No!" As expected, Su Qingjun disagreed.
But Su Qingjun was never able to stop Xiao Ze from doing something he was determined to do.
Xiao Ze let go of his hand and moved away from them.
The masked man's target is the thing in Xiao Ze's hand, so naturally he will not bother with other people.
After putting the brocade bag into his backpack, Xiao Ze frantically summoned the system. After the system came out lazily, he saw a masked man staring at Xiao Ze with murderous intent.
The flower was so frightened that several petals fell off.
"I remember the second mission was around this time, why hasn't it started yet?"
The mission was over, so he could escape with his life. This was why he was so bold this time even though he had no confidence.
"I don't know. The program didn't give any prompts!" The system was also a little anxious. If Xiao Ze died before completing the task, its end would be miserable.
The masked man exerted all his strength at the Nascent Soul stage, intending to kill Xiao Ze with one blow.
"Ahhhhhhh, what should I do?" The system's scream rang in my ears.
Looking at the attack that was about to come, Xiao Ze took out the magic weapon with the highest defense value in his backpack and weakened the power of the masked man's full-strength attack.
Unable to avoid it, Xiao Ze gathered all the spiritual power in his body, ready to face the remaining power of this attack head-on, cursing the system madly in his heart: It's useless!
Suddenly, a figure flashed before his eyes and blocked the attack for him.
Su Qingjun flew backwards, and Xiao Ze held her in his arms.
The person in his arms was injured even more, and large areas of his blue clothes were stained red with blood, which was particularly glaring in Xiao Ze's eyes.
"Senior brother, senior brother, Su Qingjun!" Looking at Su Qingjun's closed eyes, Xiao Ze's voice gradually became uncontrollable.
Seeing this, the other disciples rushed over and stood in front of the two men.
The spiritual power in his hand was input into Su Qingjun's body without any regard for the consequences. At the same time, Xiao Ze took out all the healing pills in his backpack and stuffed them into Su Qingjun's mouth as if they were free.
"Ahem." The person who had been silent for a long time finally made a sound. Xiao Ze felt relieved.
The masked man seemed to still have some concerns about the Tianxuan Sect and did not want to kill the disciples of the Tianxuan Sect. He threw away the disciples who blocked his way and pointed his sword directly at Xiao Ze: "Give me the thing."
The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if it had been specially disguised.
Even if the things were given to him, he had no intention of letting Xiao Ze live.
Xiao Ze had vaguely guessed his secret.
If I don't give him the things now, I can live a little longer.
The masked man swung his sword.
There was no time to let Su Qingjun leave, Xiao Ze could only hold her in his arms and take the blow.
The pressure of the Spirit Transformation Stage came overwhelmingly, and the attack from the masked man was resolved. Xiao Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief. The leader had finally arrived.
No longer paying attention to other situations, Xiao Ze carefully looked at Su Qingjun's injuries.
Very serious.
Fortunately, Xiao Ze fed him a lot of healing pills and soul-restoring pills, so his life was not in danger. He just needed to take good care of himself for a while after returning to the sect.
He picked up Su Qingjun by the waist and moved her away from the range of the battle.
The masked man had just beaten them effortlessly, but now he encountered the leader of the Tianxuan Sect who was in the incarnation stage, and was suppressed without any chance to fight back.
Xiao Ze once again clearly realized that he was still too weak and his cultivation speed was still too slow.
Faster, stronger.
Only then can you protect your own life and Su Qingjun's life.
"Beep——" a sharp system sound appeared.
The stupid system suddenly appeared again: "Host, the mission has been started, please complete the mission as soon as possible and protect the protagonist!"
As the system spoke, it frantically patted Xiao Ze's shoulders with its leaves.
Xiao Ze frowned and looked around impatiently.
Gracilaria has been kidnapped again!
What kind of physique does this protagonist have? How could he be kidnapped even with the Sect Master, a cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, around?
"Isn't the Sect Master here? Do you need me?"
"Host, this is your last mission. Go ahead. After you complete it, you will be truly free."
Xiao Ze suppressed his inner irritation and said to Su Qingjun, "Brother, wait for me here."
After handing Su Qingjun over to other disciples for help, Xiao Ze walked towards where Jiang Xi was.
The sleeve was pulled.
"What are you doing?" Su Qingjun's face was pale, but his eyes were full of anger, and a sadness that Xiao Ze could not understand now.
Xiao Ze couldn't find a suitable reason to lie to Su Qingjun at all.
"Do you like him so much? Will you save him even if it means you will die?" Su Qingjun's eyes were filled with unconcealable sadness.
"Brother," Xiao Ze held Su Qingjun's hand that was clutching his sleeve, his palm cold. "For the last time. After this, even if he really is going to die, I won't have to care about him anymore."
Su Qingjun didn't understand why he had to save Jiang Xi this time, but he still let go of her hand.
Xiao Ze could never change the decision he made.
I could only watch him walk into danger and towards the grass.
After Xiao Ze approached, he understood why the leader did not dare to act rashly.
The masked man was seriously injured, and even if he met Xiao Ze in his current state, he would not be able to fight.
But he was preparing to self-destruct his Nascent Soul.
If the Sect Leader didn't let him go, he would detonate his Nascent Soul and die together with Jiang Xi.
There seemed to be something really special about Jiang Xi, which made the leader dare not take any risks and could only remain in a stalemate with the masked man.
This is an unbreakable deadlock unless someone replaces Gracilaria.
Xiao Ze turned his head to look at Su Qingjun who had been staring at him not far away. For the first time, he felt reluctant to leave someone, and for the first time, he felt that being alive was not bad.
But the mission had to be completed, and he had to do what was next.
I'm sorry, brother, if I could survive...
Xiao Ze approached and said to the masked man, "How about I switch with him?"
It is a good thing for both the leader and the masked man.
Xiao Ze is not important to the leader, and there is a 50% chance that the masked man will be let go.
The leader doesn't have to be so cautious, fearing that Jiang Xi will really die.
"You... come over here slowly." The masked man was seriously injured and could not speak clearly.
Xiao Ze walked over, and the masked man pushed Jiang Xi away and grabbed Xiao Ze.
Jiang Xi's head hit his mask, and it fell off.
"Elder Yuan?" The sect leader's voice rang out, a mixture of shock and surprise mingling with his usually calm voice.
Elder Yuan?
It turned out to be Elder Yuan who was in charge of medicine in Tianxuan Sect!
That's why he didn't kill the disciples of Tianxuan Sect just now. He probably cherished his title as the elder of Tianxuan Sect and didn't want to be the enemy of Tianxuan Sect.
Elder Yuan flew on his sword, ready to take Xiao Ze away and let him completely block him. The Sect Leader naturally refused to let him go and prepared to kill both of them together.
As for Xiao Ze, he was just an ordinary cultivator. Even if he died, the worst that could happen was that he would find someone with better talent for Xinglu.
Before the spiritual power in his hand could condense, his sleeve was grabbed by someone.
"Master, Xiao Ze will die." The seriously injured Su Qingjun was supported by his disciples and came to the side of the master, saving Xiao Ze's life again.
After saying that, he fainted.
The master still cared very much about his eldest disciple. When he saw him faint, he immediately withdrew his spiritual power and checked Su Qingjun's injuries.
This was the last scene Xiao Ze saw before he was kidnapped and taken away by Elder Yuan.
