36 I don't want you to be angry
Ou Junda unsheathed a crossbow-like spiritual weapon and aimed it at Yun Ruchen, his tone resigned. "The bad guys want me to do it again! You're unlucky, Young Master Yun, that you've become her man." He pulled the trigger, and several arrows blasted towards Yun Ruchen. Bai Yuge had no time to intervene, but Ding Lianxue blocked them. The shattered greatsword attempted to shield him, but Mu Hexuan struck again. His wounds, healed by spiritual energy without the need for elixirs, he raised his sword and slashed at the cracks in the greatsword. His vigorous aura vanished, and the greatsword flickered and disintegrated several times. Mu Hexuan spat out the blood foam from his mouth, frowned, and smacked his lips, wanting to rinse his mouth. The arrows collided with the barrier, but weren't immediately shattered. Ou Junda examined the spiritual weapon in surprise; it seemed the opponent's formation was no ordinary weapon. "Ding Lianxue, get out of the way!" Mu Hexuan kicked Bai Yuge in the shoulder with his sword, then chased after her, stepping on the cliff face. He grasped the hilt with both hands and lunged at Bai Yuge, but was blocked by his sword. Yun Ruchen stared at the arrows before him, then looked at Bai Yuge standing before the cliff face, sighing silently. Ou Junda held a spiritual artifact shaped like a flower bud in his palm and tossed it over Yun Ruchen. The bud blossomed in mid-air, flipping over, its petals cascading around the barrier. Yun Ruchen ignored the spiritual artifact surrounding him and crouched down, pressing his palm against the ground's pattern. Ying Yueke sat up straight, staring at his fingers. The next moment, a few arcs of electricity flashed from his slender fingers, and a deep purple glow filled the barrier, dazzling Ou Junda in the distance, his eyes narrowing. A mutated lightning root? Such a talent wouldn't require cultivation! Lightning beams poured into the compass, escaping the barrier's direction, carrying the lightning pattern towards Bai Yuge at the cliff face, shielding him. The lightning followed the sword's tip, piercing Mu Hexuan's meridians and forcing him to let go with a groan of pain. Freed from the compass's protection, the barrier was easily ripped apart by the arrow, engulfing Yun Ruchen with its dense petals. At that moment, the black bird finally arrived. Its dark, ancient blade pierced the petals. A slight tremor emanated from the blade, sending a surge of spiritual energy scattering the petals and the arrow. The entire bud shattered, shattering to the ground, its lusterless hue. The black bird hovered before Yun Ruchen, humming. Despite its swift attack, it was still a step too late. Yun Ruchen's limbs were lacerated by petals, and blood stained the surface of his clothes like a vast lotus leaf. He slumped to the ground, his face pale, an arrow lodged in his chest. He tilted his head to look in the direction of the black bird, a serene smile on his face. He knew she would always be there for him in times of need. Bai Yuge, naturally, took notice of the black bird and the gravely injured Yun Ruchen. He felt ashamed for not protecting him properly, and found it difficult to face Feng Jingluo. He glanced at him from a distance, then, with his sword raised, seized the opportunity to deflect Mu Hexuan...
Ou Junda took out a spiritual weapon shaped like a crossbow and pointed it at Yun Ruchen, saying helplessly, "The bad guy wants me to do it again. It's unlucky for you, Yun Shaozong, that you have become her man."
Pulling the trigger, several arrows shot towards Yun Ruchen. Before Bai Yuge could stop them, they were blocked by Ding Lianxue.
The shattered giant sword tried to protect him, but was attacked again by Mu Hexuan. His injuries were healed by his spiritual energy without the need for any elixirs, and he raised his sword to strike at the cracks in the giant sword.
The vigorous momentum vanished, and the giant sword flashed several times before disintegrating. Mu Hexuan spat out the blood foam in his mouth, frowned, and smacked his lips, wanting to rinse his mouth.
The arrow hit the barrier but was not torn into pieces immediately. Ou Junda checked the spiritual weapon in surprise. It seemed that the opponent's formation plate was no ordinary thing.
"Ding Lianxue, get out of the way!" Mu Hexuan kicked Bai Yuge's shoulder with his sword, chased after him and stepped on the cliff, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed at Bai Yuge, but was blocked by his horizontal sword.
Yun Ruchen stared at the arrow in front of him, then looked at Bai Yuge in front of the cliff and sighed silently.
Ou Junda held a spiritual artifact shaped like a flower bud in his palm and threw it over Yun Ruchen. The bud blossomed in mid-air, turning upside down, and its petals scattered around the barrier.
Yun Ruchen ignored the spiritual weapons surrounding him, squatted down and pressed his palms on the array pattern on the ground.
Ying Yueke sat up straight and stared at his fingers.
The next moment, several arcs of electricity flashed from the slender fingers, and then deep purple electric light filled the interior of the barrier, causing Ou Junda in the distance to squint his eyes.
Mutated Thunder Spiritual Root? Such a talent shouldn't be cultivated!
The lightning was injected into the compass, broke away from the barrier, and carried the lightning array pattern to spread towards Bai Yuge on the cliff, protecting him. The lightning followed the tip of the sword and penetrated into Mu Hexuan's meridians, forcing him to let go with a groan of pain.
After breaking away from the protection of the compass, the barrier was easily torn apart by arrows, swallowing Yun Ruchen with dense petals.
Just at this moment, the black bird arrived late, and the dark and ancient sword pierced into the petals. The sword body trembled slightly, and the spiritual power shook the petals and arrows and flew away.
The entire bud shattered, falling to the ground, its luster dull. A black bird hung in front of Yun Ruchen, buzzing. Despite its swift attack, it was still a step too late. Yun Ruchen's limbs were scratched by the petals, and blood covered his clothes like a large lotus leaf.
With an arrow stuck in his chest, he sat on the ground with a pale face. He tilted his head to look in the direction where the black bird came from, and actually smiled peacefully.
He knew that she would always appear by my side in times of crisis.
Bai Yuge naturally noticed Xuanniao and the severely injured Yun Ruchen. He felt ashamed for not protecting him and found it difficult to face Feng Jingluo.
He just glanced into the distance, picked up his sword and took the opportunity to deflect Mu Hexuan's sword, scratching the other's wrist.
Mu Hexuan shook his numb arms, turned his head to look at the powerful aura approaching him very quickly, and let out a light click.
If he had come a little later, he would have been able to catch Bai Yuge.
In just a breath, Feng Jingluo appeared in front of Yun Ruchen, lowering his eyes to look at the other person covered in blood, but still looking up at him with a pure smile.
She also smiled, and her figure faded. She was so fast that before her afterimage disappeared, she had already kicked Albert Ou in the abdomen.
Since coming down the mountain, he has fought countless times, but Feng Jingluo has always only used a sword. His moves are simple and accurate. Although he can repel the opponents, he rarely draws blood.
Therefore, it is rare to see casualties among the same generation here at Feng Jingluo.
Ou Junda felt as if a mountain had struck his abdomen. Before he could even feel the pain, he vomited blood and flew into the tangled forest, crashing into many trees.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he fell on his back with his limbs spread out, leaving a long scratch on the ground. He was gasping for breath and coughing up blood, his face distorted with pain.
"You were so cruel... cough cough." Ou Junda raised his hand and touched his stomach tremblingly. His internal organs were kicked to pieces, his belly was sunken inward, and his corset was sticky with his blood.
Taking out the pill and swallowing it, Albert Ou was furious, “It’s just a man, if you hurt me, you’ll have to accompany you for a few more, cough cough…you almost killed me.”
Mu Hexuan, take care of yourself. I have to go first. A huge jade plate appeared beneath him, lifting Ou Junda up. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Feng Jingluo did not chase after him. His eyes, as black as ink, moved to the corners of his eyes, and his aura became even more gloomy.
Her eyes fell on the large patch of red on the originally white clothes, and then moved to Mu Hexuan, who waved to her in a good mood.
"I didn't expect you to really care about your little husband." Shu Jian glanced at Situ Yi, then slashed at Feng Jingluo's head with his sword, smiling arrogantly, "What about Bai Yuge? He risked his own safety to help you protect that loser."
The black flames on the sword obscured Mu Hexuan's figure. Through the twisting flames, he saw Feng Jingluo raise his head and reach out to grasp his sword.
His pupils constricted, and before his smile turned into astonishment, she flicked her finger, and the powerful force caused his sword to fly out of his hand and into the ground.
Then I felt a collision on my cheek, my teeth loosened, and blood splattered everywhere. Rather than the pain, I felt a momentary dizziness in my head, which made my vision go black.
With his head pinned down and his face slamming against the ground, Situ Yi hurriedly gathered his formation patterns to lift Mu Hexuan up. However, Feng Jingluo's force tore through the formation patterns, and he slammed into the ground. With a loud bang and a cloud of dust, the ground split open in all directions, leaving a deep pit.
Ding Lianxue and Situ Yi looked at each other. How come she became stronger after not seeing her for a while?
Far surpassed the previous battle at Qixia Mountain.
Feng Jingluo's face was expressionless. Situ Yi, unsure of her attitude, gave Ding Lianxue a look. All the array patterns contracted and poured into the array disk, then emerged from the deep pit to envelop Mu Hexuan, protecting him as they moved to Situ Yi's side.
He and Ding Lianxue protected Mu Hexuan and ran away, meeting up with Ou Junda who had not gone far, intending to tell the news to other people in the forbidden area.
Feng Jingluo did not stop him. He turned around, squatted down, grabbed the arrow and pulled it out. Yun Ruchen endured the pain and didn't care about the blood splattering.
The familiar warmth of her hand touched the wound, blood inevitably staining her fingertips. The spiritual energy gently soothed the pain and wound, leaving only the pungent smell of blood all over her body.
"I'm fine, thanks to Brother Bai's protection. He was more seriously injured than me." There was some blood on his jaw, his eyebrows were slightly curved, and he smiled obediently.
Try your best to comfort Feng Jingluo's emotions.
The latter's angry expression eased, the corners of his tense mouth lowered, and he raised his hand to wipe the blood from Yun Ruchen's jaw.
The rough fingertips rubbed the delicate skin with great force, causing it to turn red and slightly painful. He stared at Feng Jingluo with trembling pupils, then suddenly lowered his head, raised his hand and lowered it again, his ears red with helplessness.
Outside the forbidden area, everyone will see this scene...
"I was a step slow."
Yun Ruchen felt his heart beating uncontrollably, "You always appear when I need you most."
He raised his eyes, his gaze dodging, "I've never been slow."
His brows relaxed as he let out a helpless smile, "After this, I won't let you get hurt again. I'll go see him."
He stood up and walked towards Bai Yuge. While the two were talking, he had been standing silently in front of the cliff, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the footsteps got closer, he raised his head and whispered, "I didn't..."
Before he could finish his words, a hand pressed against his chest, and cool spiritual energy poured in, but he felt the temperature was incredibly hot, causing his already fair skin to turn noticeably red.
The silver moon fell beside her. Bai Yuge raised her arms to cover her face. How could she not feel the frantic heartbeat in her chest?
"If you hadn't taken care of the Young Master for me, you wouldn't have been injured so badly." She couldn't see Bai Yuge's face. She paused, grasped her wrist with her hand, and moved her arm away. "Thank you."
"No need..." He turned his face to the side, his lips trembling. "I just didn't want you to be angry..." That's why I'm meddling in other people's business.
"But I'm still angry." The words were warm and floated into his ears.
He looked at Feng Jingluo with disappointment.
"You are injured too." The hand on her chest moved to the corner of her lips, and she bent her fingers and wiped away the blood with her knuckles. She lowered her eyelashes and stared at her lips intently.
The flesh on his lips was deformed by the rubbing of his joints, and his heart stopped beating at this moment.
"This is the first time I've seen you so embarrassed."
Bai Yuge had always worn white clothes and was indifferent to others. He had no friends among all the geniuses.
Because of his considerable strength, all fights with the geniuses in the same group were always limited.
When they chased her and tried to beat her, she simply fought them off and never hurt them.
Therefore, this can be said to be the most serious injury he has suffered since he met Bai Yuge.
Just to avoid making her angry.
"Cough..." Bai Yuge choked and covered her burning face with it, a barely perceptible sound coming from under her palm, "If I'm injured...will you be angry too?"
"Yes." Feng Jingluo replied decisively.
The gray eyes behind his fingers looked at the smile on her lips and her gentle brows, and couldn't help but smile.
"I was teleported to the edge of the forbidden area, and it took me some time to get here. I didn't expect that three people would be injured." Feng Jingluo explained why he was a step late.
"Three?"
Feng Jing retreated, "Jiang Chen is also injured, more seriously than all of you, so I will rush there first."
She briefly recounted the fight between Jiang Chen and Cang Wenshan.
Bai Yuge followed Feng Jingluo and walked towards Yun Ruchen.
"That's not like her character."
"A cicada hibernates for years, only to chirp for an entire summer," Feng Jingluo said. "Perhaps she has waited too long for this day."
He reached out and supported Yun Ruchen's arm, helping him stand up. "I'll send a message to Xu Mobai and ask him to bring Jiang Chen over."
"You should change your clothes first. Once everyone has gathered, it will take some time before the forbidden area is closed."
She said, "Go find those people and fight back."
Feng Jingluo leaned against the cliff face. Two tents were placed where the filled-in hole had been. Bai Yuge and Yun Ruchen were washing themselves and changing clothes inside.
He crossed his arms and stared at the grass blades blown by the wind, scratching his ears lightly with his fingers.
Sometimes having too sensitive hearing is not necessarily a good thing. Even the sound of water dripping across the skin can be heard clearly.
Yun Ruchen was the first to change his clothes and came out, wearing the same tight black outfit as when he saw him in the sect.
He looked at Feng Jingluo silently, as if he had something to say.
She also heard the sound of water had long disappeared, but the figure was reluctant to leave, lingering in the tent and breathing slowly.
She walked towards the distant woods, Yun Ruchen's footsteps following.
