This secret realm can only be entered by cultivators below the Golden Core stage, while Xie Jiuchuan is at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
They will encounter demonic beasts at the Golden Core stage or above. Ordinary people would just feel unlucky and think that the heavens are going to kill them.
While Xi Xingxue appeared frightened, she was secretly overjoyed.
The two ran together, the wind whistling past their ears. Although their hands were held together by a red rope, their steps were synchronized, without any hindrance.
The two had a perfect understanding.
Xie Jiuchuan tilted his head slightly and glanced at Xi Xingxue, his eyes showing a hint of emotion.
As they ran, the bindings on their hands suddenly loosened, and the red rope came off by itself.
The restriction should have been lifted automatically when the time came.
The Sand Cloud Beast behind them was a monster that loved to eat human flesh. Smelling the scent of the three humans in front of them, its mouth watered.
After the red rope was untied, the distance between Xi Xingxue and Xie Jiuchuan gradually increased.
Xi Xingxue deliberately slowed her pace until Xie Jiuchuan and Jun Da disappeared from her sight.
Then, he slammed on the brakes.
The Sand Cloud Beast chasing wildly behind almost couldn't stop and crashed into Xi Xingxue, sending her flying. Two question marks appeared on its head as it bared its teeth at Xi Xingxue.
The beast stared wide-eyed in confusion: Why isn't this person running away?
Xi Xingxue raised two fingers, and icy blue spiritual energy appeared. The scabbard trembled slightly, and the silver longsword leaped out.
The sword tip was pointed at the Sand Cloud Beast's belly: "If you don't want to die too painfully, take out your inner core and give it to me yourself."
Sand Cloud Beast: "..." A bandit who starts with 0 frames and has no sense of restraint.
It let out a roar, swung its long hooves, and unleashed a storm of wind and rain upon Xi Xingxue.
In an instant, the weather changed dramatically, and the sand and dust on the ground were swept into the sky, turning into thick smoke that surrounded Xi Xingxue.
Despite being in the eye of the storm and having his view obstructed, the boy remained calm.
The wind whistled, and his long black hair fluttered along with his clothes, moving gracefully.
The Sand Cloud Beast roared, attempting to sweep the boy up to the Western Paradise.
Faced with such power, he merely raised his sword lazily and unleashed a sword beam. The casual action revealed an incredibly fierce light, and the immense pressure instantly overwhelmed the dust storm, completely annihilating the Sand Cloud Beast's attack.
The Sand Cloud Beast, still in the position of its four claws hovering in the air, was dumbfounded when it saw that the human had easily broken its life's ultimate move with a simple raised hand.
Before he could even blink, the boy jumped in front of it, the tip of his sword lightly touching its belly.
A powerful force, far exceeding the Golden Core stage, locked onto the Sand Cloud Beast, rendering it unable to move an inch. It could only glare resentfully at Xi Xingxue.
Just as Xi Xingxue was about to cut open its demon core, her ears twitched slightly, and the sword in her hand veered off course, missing its mark.
The next moment, Xie Jiuchuan's dark figure appeared behind him. As he ran, a pair of dragon horns were faintly visible in his disheveled black hair.
Xi Xingxue then fell to the ground, feigning weakness and inability to defeat the demon beast.
The Sand Cloud Beast was stabbed, but it didn't die. The powerful spiritual energy that had been suppressing it dissipated, and it was overjoyed, immediately preparing to escape.
Xie Jiuchuan looked at Xi Xingxue, who seemed to be injured on the ground, and felt a sudden, inexplicable irritation creep into his brow.
He looked at the Sand Cloud Beast, his long eyebrows furrowing slightly: "You're courting death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword on his back was drawn and leaped into his hand. He leaned forward and stood in front of the Sand Cloud Beast.
The Sand Cloud Beast, who was preparing to escape, thought: "?"
Another arrogant and ignorant human has arrived. Normally, this human would already be being digested in its organs.
However, just now, it was almost killed by the human it considered weak, so when facing the human in front of it, the Sand Cloud Beast was momentarily afraid.
It let out a whimper, bypassed Xie Jiuchuan, and began to flee frantically.
Xie Jiuchuan, his face covered in dust: "..."
The dragon race has a bloodline above the demon race. However, because they are not human and possess the aptitude to cultivate both demonic and spiritual power, they are also known as demon spirits.
Xie Jiuchuan assumed that his bloodline suppression was effective against the Sand Cloud Beast, so he pressed his advantage and chased after it. Before long, he was engaged in battle with the beast.
A few breaths later, a shadow was swatted away and sank into the sand.
Xi Xingxue looked closely and saw that Waqu was his apprentice.
He couldn't sit still any longer and immediately got up and rushed over, "Xiao Chuan Chuan, are you alright?!"
Hearing this address, Xie Jiuchuan felt that something was about to happen to him. He pushed away Xi Xingxue's hands that were trying to hug him and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing."
Seeing that this human was not as strong as the previous one, the hungry Sand Cloud Beast trotted back to the battlefield. By the time it found Xi Xingxue was still there, it was too late to run away.
Xi Xingxue's eyes turned cold, and she conjured an invisible blade from her fingertips, which flew out silently.
The Sand Cloud Beast had its throat slit and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Xi Xingxue exclaimed in amazement: "Xiao Chuan, you are amazing! You killed a Golden Core stage demon beast!"
Xie Jiuchuan slowly typed a question mark, his phoenix-shaped eyes locking onto him: "It wasn't me."
Xi Xingxue thought to herself: "He's such an honest man who doesn't take advantage of a good deal."
He pretended not to hear him, his face full of admiration: "Anyway, I'll help you extract its inner core right now, and you can absorb it."
This was exactly what Xi Xingxue wanted to achieve.
However, the other party rejected his performance and sent a bombshell message back.
He said, "The monster... you should have killed it."
Xi Xingxue's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise. Could it be... that this guy recognized her as his handsome, charming, and powerful master?
He was about to put on a cold face and then utter a command to 'kneel down' when suddenly Xie Jiuchuan closed his eyes and fainted.
Xi Xingxue probed his body.
Oh dear, he suffered severe internal injuries.
......
When Jun Da rushed back, he saw Xi Xingxue carrying Xie Jiuchuan.
He forcibly ignored the strange way the boy was being carried in a princess carry by the grown man and asked him, "What's wrong with him?"
Xi Xingxue: "He was just injured."
As the temperature around them dropped, the three left the desert and entered the forest.
At night, Xi Xingxue lit a campfire and rested.
Jun Da had already said goodbye to him and left. It's estimated that what's going to happen next is his story with Yin Yue.
Xi Xingxue hummed a tune as she roasted the chicken, so engrossed that she didn't notice when the young man beside her woke up and was staring at her with his dark eyes.
After Xi Xingxue finished eating the roast chicken and burped, she met a pair of eyes that shone brightly even in the darkness.
After a moment of stunned silence, he scratched his head and said, "Um... you're awake? Want to play PUBG?"
As Xi Xingxue spoke, his voice grew weaker and weaker, because the roast chicken in his hand was now just a skeleton.
Fortunately, Xie Jiuchuan didn't like chicken. He just stared at his profile for a while and then suddenly said, "You look a lot like someone I know."
Xi Xingxue was shocked.
This is not good news. His disguise is really about to be exposed.
