However, the sword light hit the demon like drizzle and failed to have any effect on its progress.

"Is there really no hope?"

Jiang Zhige's face looked grim. The difference in strength was too great. It was the first time he encountered such a powerful Lingwu realm monster.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Zhige would have definitely fled, but this time Ning Qiu Shui was behind him, so he had to let Ning Qiu Shui escape to a safe area before making any plans.

Just as Jiang Zhige was preparing for a desperate fight, the bush demon, which was less than ten meters away, suddenly lost its pressure, and the red light emanating from its body also dimmed a lot.

Jiang Zhige's eyes flashed, and he immediately seized the opportunity, mobilizing all his spiritual power to concentrate it on the spiritual sword.

"The vastness becomes a sword, the painting becomes a sharp edge, and one sword sweeps in all directions!"

Jiang Zhige was seen holding the sword in both hands, stomping his right foot on the ground, and swinging out a white sword light that was six feet high.

The terrifying sword light whizzed past, and the demon that was unable to dodge was cut in half from the middle.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhige collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Although he didn't know why the bush demon suddenly became weak, he was not in the mood to think too much about it for the time being. He was only grateful for surviving the disaster.

Ning Qiushui walked over slowly. She looked at the corpse of the bush demon that had been broken into two pieces and said with admiration, "Junior brother, you are really amazing. You have even learned the Cangmang Sword Technique."

There are only two moves in the Cangmang Sword Technique. The grade is not particularly high, but the power is extremely great. It is a treasure among the yellow-level martial arts.

Precisely because of this, the Cangmang Sword Technique is extremely difficult to learn. Super high comprehension is just a threshold, and one also needs to spend time practicing swinging the sword.

Looking at the thousands of disciples in Tianyun Pavilion, there are less than ten who have mastered the Cangmang Sword Technique, and Jiang Zhige is one of them.

Jiang Zhige looked pale and said weakly: "Senior Sister, you didn't leave?"

Although the Cangmang Sword Technique is powerful, it consumes too much spiritual energy for him who is in the Refining Internal Organs Realm. If this move fails to kill the demons, he will be the one to die.

"What are you talking about! You are the one who should run away. You actually threw my senior sister out. You are too cruel!"

Ning Qiu Shui put her hands on her hips and looked at Jiang Zhige, not showing any sympathy for him at all.

Jiang Zhige supported the spirit sword and sat up with difficulty, saying helplessly: "Senior sister, I am just worried that something bad will happen to you."

Ning Qiushui's expression eased a little, and he sighed and said, "Silly boy, Senior Sister is all alone, but you are different. If you die, what will happen to Junior Sister Nangong?"

In fact, she wanted to take this opportunity to pretend to be weak and try to rely on Jiang Zhige like Nangong Rou.

Unfortunately, Ning Qiu Shui is not Nangong Rou after all. Seeing Jiang Zhige's stubborn look of only thinking about others, she always feels distressed and angry.

When will Jiang Zhige start to think more about himself?

Jiang Zhige was silent for a while after hearing this. He looked at the spirit sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister, in fact, I have considered more than once what Rou'er should do after my death. However, if I abandon you and run away alone, how will Rou'er look at me?"

Ning Qiushui curled her lips and said unhappily, "You can lie, right? Your sister Rou'er isn't around anyway."

According to Jiang Zhige, he protected her so firmly just to avoid being looked down upon by Nangong Rou.

Jiang Zhige pinched his chin and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Why didn't I think of this before?"

"Asshole! Are you really going to abandon me?!"

"Senior sister, I was just joking."

Seeing Ning Qiu Shui getting anxious, Jiang Zhige hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

Of course, he was just joking. For him, abandoning his companions and running away alone was simply an insult to his personality.

Seeing that Ning Qiushui still wanted to pursue the matter, Jiang Zhige quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Senior Sister, your injury."

When talking about his injury, Ning Qiu Shui suddenly felt guilty and his eyes became uncertain.

"Senior sister, could it be that you..."

"Actually, I have serious internal injuries. I am just being strong now."

Ning Qiu Shui covered his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking extremely weak.

Jiang Zhige showed worry on his face and was about to go forward to check on Ning Qiu Shui's injuries when the Heart-piercing Stone in his arms suddenly moved again.

Jiang Zhige's heart skipped a beat and he quickly took out the Soul Piercing Stone and injected spiritual power into it.

"Brother! Brother! Come and help me, I, I can't beat him anymore."

Hearing Nangong Rou's cry for help, Jiang Zhige was so scared that he couldn't hold the Soul Stone steadily.

"Senior Sister, you stay here to recover first. I will go to support Rou'er!"

Jiang Zhige didn't care that his spiritual power had been exhausted. He left a word and ran towards Nangong Rou.

Looking at Jiang Zhige's back without even turning his head, Ning Qiushui looked helpless and sighed sadly: "What a heartless man..."

She was injured after all. Isn’t Jiang Zhige afraid that she would be in danger again?

Outside the cave, Nangong Rou was confronting a ferocious monster with six horns, a pitch-black body, and a mouth full of fangs.

Not long ago, she wanted to show herself in front of Jiang Zhige, but now she was trembling in fear when facing the monster.

The fang-toothed monster seemed to see Nangong Rou's timidity. It let out a strange laugh and quickly rushed towards Nangong Rou with its six sharp legs that looked like spider legs.

Nangong Rou’s face was pale and she kept looking behind her, hoping to see her brother.

The moment she hesitated, the fang-toothed monster pounced on her, and its six sharp legs stabbed at her like steel knives.

Nangong Rou raised her spirit sword in panic to block, but she was too nervous and her sword swinging was without any method or power.

Although he managed to avoid getting hurt, he still kept retreating under the attack of the sharp kick.

"Ugly freak! Get out of here! Get out of here!"

Nangong Rou's eyes were red. She knew that if she continued like this, she wouldn't be able to withstand the sharp kicks within three rounds.

Thinking about being killed by the fang monster and never being able to see Jiang Zhige again, or even leaving Jiang Zhige's world forever, Nangong Rou already had the urge to cry out loud.

Not long ago, Nangong Rou, who had gained nothing, just walked out of the cave and found a ferocious-looking monster wandering outside.

Their current location was not deep into the Baihai Mountain. Nangong Rou, who had reached the Lingwu realm, was naturally full of confidence. Instead of running away, she took the initiative to attack the fang monster.

Unexpectedly, the fang monster was so powerful that it looked like it had only the might of an early Spiritual Martial Realm, but its strength and speed were comparable to that of a mid-Spiritual Martial Realm monster. It beat Nangong Rou so hard that she had no power to resist, and now it had forced her into a desperate situation.

Just when Nangong Rou was in despair, a sword light flashed from behind.

Clang! There was a sound of metal colliding with stone, and the sharp leg that was about to pierce Nangong Rou was bounced away.
