Qin Yu stood up shakily. Several cultivators were protecting him beside him.
"Take me away! She's insane!!"
"Yes, my lord!"
After saying that, the cultivators carried Qin Yu on their backs and prepared to take him away.
"Trying to run?"
Qin Muxue instantly appeared in front of the cultivators. She stabbed the cultivator carrying Qin Yu to death with a single sword strike.
"ah--"
Qin Yu rolled and fell heavily to the ground. One of them tried to help her up, but before he could even touch her, Qin Muxue beheaded him with a single sword strike. The remaining men tried to attack her, but Qin Muxue sliced them all in half at the waist with a single sword strike.
"Qin Yu, atone for your wickedness!!"
After saying that, Qin Muxue drew her sword and thrust it toward Qin Yu's heart.
"Aww—"
Two demonic dragons roared and descended from the sky, blasting Qin Muxue dozens of meters away. The two dragons stopped beside Qin Yu. Two soldiers dressed in the attire of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom dismounted from their backs. They respectfully approached Qin Yu.
"I apologize, Your Highness, we are late..."
"You all know that, right? Stop pretending to be polite and get me out of here!"
"And kill her! The rest are yours to do as you please!"
"yes!"
One of the soldiers helped Qin Yu onto a demonic dragon, and then they soared into the sky.
"Don't go!"
After being blasted away, Qin Muxue became entangled with the cultivators again. She unleashed more than a dozen sword energies, repelling the cultivators who were entangled with her once more. Qin Muxue then used a teleportation technique to appear in front of Qin Yu, but just as her sword was about to pierce Qin Yu's heart, another demonic dragon flapped its wings and blocked Qin Muxue's attack.
The powerful impact of the dragon wings sent Qin Muxue flying.
This is a magical beast, and although Qin Muxue is almost two major realms higher than it, it is still extremely difficult to penetrate its hard shell head-on.
After being knocked away, Qin Muxue adjusted her posture in mid-air and unleashed more than a dozen sword energies at Qin Yu. However, due to the great distance, almost all of those sword energies missed their mark, with only one striking the dragon's tail.
Gu Baizhi wanted to give chase and was about to fly over on her sword when the giant dragon that had just knocked her away blocked her path.
"Are you the army of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom?"
"We have no right to tell you. We're here to take your life!!"
"Heh—"
Qin Muxue didn't waste another word on him. With a swift movement, she stepped forward and pierced the heart of the Southern Barbarian soldier with her sword. The Southern Barbarian soldier slid off the dragon's back and fell to the ground.
"Aww—"
The dragon flew into a rage upon seeing its rider killed. It roared and swung its claws at Qin Muxue repeatedly, but Qin Muxue easily dodged each attack.
After dodging the dragon's claws once again, the dragon suddenly turned and swung its tail at Qin Muxue. Qin Muxue lightly touched the ground with her toes and gracefully leaped into the air, her figure drawing an arc in the air as she deftly dodged the sweeping dragon tail.
Just as Qin Muxue was preparing to pierce the dragon's throat with her sword in mid-air, a demonic cultivator suddenly appeared behind her.
"Bye now!"
"..."
The expected pain did not occur.
Qin Muxue turned her head and saw that the demonic cultivator had been pierced through the heart by a light sword radiating spiritual energy. She looked up and saw Gu Baizhi, dressed in white, holding a light sword, standing silently in the sky. Qin Muxue was somewhat mesmerized by her gaze.
She never expected that her beloved wife, whom she had always protected, would save her life at a crucial moment, and that she would fight so bravely and heroically.
Seeing Qin Muxue staring at her intently, Gu Baizhi was speechless.
Why are you still staring at me at a time like this?!
Gu Baizhi glared at Qin Muxue speechlessly, but Qin Muxue continued to stare at her silently as if she hadn't seen her at all.
"Still looking! What kind of occasion is this?!"
After saying this, Gu Baizhi made a hand seal with both hands.
"Eight Trigrams, Eight Formations, Eight Swords,"
"Charge!"
Instantly, sword formations appeared beneath the feet of the cultivators and the giant dragon. The eight sword formations merged into one, forming a massive Yin-Yang Bagua formation.
"Sword rise!"
The eight swords seemed to come alive, piercing towards the cultivators and the demonic dragon. Instantly, the demonic and righteous cultivators were slaughtered by the swords that seemed to move freely through the air, leaving no survivors. Only the demonic dragon remained.
Gu Baizhi came to Qin Muxue's side.
Do you have a way to deal with it?
"No, I need my wife to protect me~"
In fact, Qin Muxue could have easily killed this Golden Core stage demonic dragon with a single roar, but she still wanted to play dirty tricks and see what other tricks her wife had up her sleeve.
"you?!"
Gu Baizhi was speechless. She didn't expect Qin Muxue to still have the mind to tease her at a time like this.
"Sigh—I'll do it..."
Gu Baizhi sighed, then followed the spiritual energy and soared into the air.
She still planned to use the same move she used against the Demon Tiger Beast. Although using this move would essentially leave her weakened, it was the only way she could fight the demonic dragon before her.
This is the difference between magical beasts, spirit beasts, and demonic spirit beasts and human cultivators. Between magical beasts and cultivators of the same level, without any trump cards, whether demonic or righteous, humans are doomed.
Gu Baizhi clasped her hands together.
"The Eight Trigrams of Heaven and Earth, turning the tide!!"
The eight swords flew into the air and merged into a blade ring with eight sharp edges.
"break!"
The enormous blade ring slashed down at the dragon in an instant, cleaving the demonic dragon in two.
Gu Baizhi also fell from the sky due to exhaustion of her spiritual power.
"thump"
Gu Baizhi landed in Qin Muxue's arms, looking so fresh and lovely.
"Honey, you were so cool just now!"
"Heh—"
"From now on, I'll have to rely on my wife for protection."
"Glib-tongued..."
After saying that, Gu Baizhi turned her head away, no longer looking at Qin Muxue. But Qin Muxue continued to call her "wife" over and over again.
Hearing the repeated calls of "wife," a faint blush rose on Gu Baizhi's face.
"What wife? Don't call me that anymore..."
Gu Baizhi spoke with her head bowed and eyes lowered in Qin Muxue's arms.
Seeing Qin Muxue constantly teasing her, showing absolutely no signs of the tension and anxiety one would expect after a battle, Gu Baizhi suddenly sensed something was amiss.
"You didn't just lie to me that you couldn't beat them, did you?"
"Otherwise what?"
Looking at Qin Muxue with a playful expression, Gu Baizhi was instantly furious. She pinched Qin Muxue's waist hard.
"hiss--"
Qin Muxue cried out softly in pain.
Gu Baizhi was very satisfied with Qin Muxue's appearance.
"Hmph—I'll see if you dare to do it again next time..."
"Hey—what are you doing?!"
Qin Muxue gently tossed Gu Baizhi aside, then caught her again. She held Gu Baizhi even tighter, bringing her closer to herself.
Qin Muxue gradually brought her cheek closer to Gu Baizhi's. Seeing their faces getting closer and closer, Gu Baizhi's cheeks flushed even more.
"I just saved you, and you're still bullying me..."
