The fact that Mu Lingshi was able to become the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, and was also able to lurk in the Martial City Palace for so long without being discovered, was enough to show that her intelligence and tactics were definitely of the highest order.
Therefore, she was naturally able to tell that Qiu Yu was intentionally using “kindness” to coerce her.
If she really let Qiu Yu go in a moment of weakness, then I’m afraid that today would be the day that Zhang Ruochen and Ah Le would die.
Autumn Rain obviously saw the concern in Mu Lingshi’s heart and hurriedly added: “Lingshi, don’t worry, I swear to heaven, as long as you let me go, I definitely won’t retaliate against Zhang Ruochen. You should know that for top cultivators, breaking an oath will result in a huge break in their mind.”
Mu Lingshi walked over with her iron sword and pointed it at Qiu Yu’s brow, saying, “You don’t have to say any more words, since I said I would plead with Zhang Ruochen, I will definitely do my best to save your life.”
“So hateful, I have already lowered my voice so much, but she is still on Zhang Ruochen’s side, if I had known, I shouldn’t have saved her back in the Green Dragon Market Realm. If it had fallen into my hands, I would have made her life worse than death.”A sinister colour flickered in the depths of Qiu Yu’s pupils.
Not far away, in a gloomy poisonous fog, a laughing voice came out, “Unexpected, unexpected, to see such a wonderful scene.”
Hearing the laughter, Mu Lingshi was slightly startled, “What kind of person?”
Zhentian Tiger, carrying a pair of thick arms, walked out from the poisonous mist and looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting cross-legged, and said, “Originally, I was only ordered by the Boundary Son to come and test Zhang Ruochen’s strength, but now it seems that there is no need for me to take action myself at all.”
Yuan Mix lured away the Rakshasa Princess, in fact, he wanted to secretly send someone back to test if Zhang Ruochen was really seriously injured. If Zhang Ruochen was really seriously injured, even if the Zhentian Tiger couldn’t kill him, it could at least force Zhang Ruochen to use his Divine Spirit Battle Weapon.
Once the Divine Spirit Battle Weapon lost its power, then Zhang Ruochen would still be at their mercy.
Facing the Zhentian Tiger, Mu Lingshi felt a huge pressure, as if it was an overwhelming tiger as big as a mountain, walking towards her step by step.
Every word that Zhentian Tiger uttered was like a deafening tiger’s roar, shocking Mu Lingshi’s delicate body as if it was about to fly out.
However, Mu Lingshi endeavoured to resist the pressure, stirring up her Ice Phoenix bloodline and condensing into a huge phoenix silhouette, blocking in front of Zhang Ruochen and Ah Le.
The Zhentian Tiger sneered and stared at Mu Lingshi, “The Ice Phoenix body is not bad, but you are only at the mid-stage of the True Saint realm, so in the eyes of this Saint, you are no different from an ant.”
Mu Lingshi’s gaze was sharp as she said, “That’s not necessarily true, I’m afraid that a True Saint would still be able to kill you if he blew up his Saint Source.”
“You think that by threatening your life, you can scare this Saint?”
The Zhentian Tiger smiled disdainfully and glanced towards Qiu Yu, who was lying on the ground, and said, “How about this Sage helps you unlock the Sacred Binding Lock, and you kill Zhang Ruochen for this Sage?”
Originally, Qiu Yu had all but despaired, and when he heard the Zhentian Tiger’s words, it was as if he had seen a chance of life.
There was finally a chance for the Jedi to fight back.
Qiu Yu hurriedly said, “Zhang Ruochen and I already have an undying grudge, as long as Your Excellency unlocks the Binding Sacred Lock, today is the day of his death.”
Zhentian Tiger said, “Those few treasures on Zhang Ruochen’s body, this Saint wants all of them.”
“I only want to kill Zhang Ruochen and wipe out my past shame, as for the treasures on his body …… with my cultivation, how would I dare to compete with Your Excellency?”
In fact, Qiu Yu didn’t put Zhentian Tiger in his eyes, as long as he killed Zhang Ruochen, the next one would be to get rid of Zhentian Tiger.
Those treasures on Zhang Ruochen’s body, even a Great Saint would be moved, how could Autumn Rain not want them?
Besides, earlier, Zhentian Tiger had both stomped on his head with his foot and spat on his face, Qiu Yu had long been enraged and it would be strange if he didn’t kill him.
Only, now that he was under constraint, he naturally had to act weaker.
Zhentian Tiger nodded in satisfaction, then struck a half-moon shaped blade ring, turning into an arc of light and striking on top of the Binding Saint Lock.
Mu Lingshi was unable to block this strike, and just the destructive energy gushing out from the half-moon saber ring caused her to keep retreating.
“With a bang, the Holy Binding Lock was severed.
Immediately, the Holy Binding Lock’s suppression of the Holy Qi within Autumn Rain’s body disappeared without a trace.
With a long roar, Qiu Yu shattered the remaining Binding Saint Lock into dozens of pieces, pressed her palm on the ground, and then her body spun and flew up, directly attacking Zhang Ruochen.
Zhentian Tiger, on the other hand, retreated to a farther position, his hands clasped in front of his chest, with a look of watching the show.
The reason why he didn’t personally attack was because, he couldn’t guess whether Zhang Ruochen still had the residual power to use his Divine Spirit Battle Weapon or not. On top of that, he was also a little afraid that Mu Lingshi would really blow up his Saint Origin.
Right now, it couldn’t be better for someone to do it for him.
“Zhang Ruochen, I’m going to extract your Saint Soul and refine you into a Ghost Slave to be my slave for the rest of your life.”
Qiu Yu’s eyes were filled with blood, the killing intent in his heart was incomparably strong, seeing Mu Lingshi who was blocking Zhang Ruochen’s body, he said in a cold voice, “If you don’t want to die, get out of my way immediately.”
“If you want to kill Zhang Ruochen, step over my corpse.”Mu Lingshi said.
“How can it be that easy if you want to die? Zhang Ruochen will be refined into a ghost slave by me, while you are destined to be my cauldron.”
Although Qiu Yu had suffered a considerable amount of injuries, he still didn’t put Mu Lingshi in his eyes, and with a grasp of his five fingers in the air, a dozens of metres long flaming hand appeared, wanting to directly grab Mu Lingshi.
Between Mu Lingshi’s two slender jade fingers, a talisman appeared and mobilised a strand of holy qi to inject into it.
“Nine Heavens’ Robbery Talisman.”
The talisman flew out and disintegrated, and then, a series of nine robberies thunderbolts descended from the sky, actually splitting the flaming great hand that Qiu Yu had struck into pieces and transforming it into a wisp of blood qi.
Immediately after that, Mu Lingshi took out another thick stack of attack talismans and defence talismans and kept hitting them out.
In an instant, dozens of layers of talisman patterned light shields surfaced on the periphery of Mu Lingshi, Zhang Ruochen, and Ah Le. At the same time, there was also an attack talisman that landed on Qiu Yu’s body, which actually caused Qiu Yu to be in quite a mess, with scorched black marks appearing on his head, an electric pattern flowing on his body, and from time to time, his body would also be frozen by cold ice.
Those talismans, all of them were snatched by Zhang Ruochen from other Saints, but he himself didn’t like to borrow external power, so almost all of them were given to Mu Lingshi.
However, Qiu Yu’s physique was powerful and his cultivation level was very high, so those talismans could only slow him down and could not hurt him at all.
On the side, Zhentian Tiger was a bit anxious, because Yuan Mix couldn’t hold back the “Spirit Flame Demon Princess” for long, and she might return at any time. With the undisclosed relationship between the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine and Zhang Ruochen, she would definitely help him at that time.
“You can’t even take down a little girl, no wonder you can’t fight Zhang Ruochen.”Zhentian Tiger said in a deep voice.
Qiu Yu also felt his face lose its lustre, and then he stirred up a strand of Tree God Qi in his body and injected it into the Fire God Fist Gloves.
“Wow…”
A steady stream of flames gushed out from the Fire God Armour, turning it into a sea of fire.
“Break for me.”
Qiu Yu attacked out with a fist, a force of mountains and oceans, the impact caused all the layers of runic light shields to shatter, even Mu Lingshi was shocked to the point that she spat out blood from her mouth and threw herself away.
“Praying mantis.”
Autumn Rain ignored the injured Mu Lingshi and took large steps towards Zhang Ruochen, the killing chance bursting out from his body getting thicker and thicker.
Zhang Ruochen, who was going all out to heal his injuries, naturally sensed that Autumn Rain was getting closer and closer, however, at this moment, he was at the critical juncture of healing his injuries, and it was difficult for him to even move his fingers, let alone fight back.
Just when Autumn Rain was still seven feet away from Zhang Ruochen, an incomparably cold and piercing power surged from afar, causing a thick layer of cold ice to form on the ground.
Mu Lingshi, her entire body burning with cold fire, flew back once again, carrying her sword and blocking Zhang Ruochen’s body, gazing at Qiu Yu on the opposite side of the room, saying, “I told you, if you want to kill him, step over my corpse first.”
Qiu Yu said, “In order to protect him, you went as far as to burn Holy Blood.”
“So what if I burned the last drop of blood in my body for him?”
The flames that gushed out from Mu Lingshi’s body were incomparably cold, causing the temperature of the surrounding space to drop drastically, and the area under the cliff turned into an icy sky and snow.
“Fine, I’ll make you whole.”
Qiu Yu mobilised the power of the Fire God Fist Gloves and attacked, preparing for a battle.
After burning the Holy Blood, Mu Lingshi’s battle power skyrocketed, stopping Autumn Rain’s attack.
However, Mu Lingshi’s aim was to protect Zhang Ruochen and Ah Lok, and naturally, her hands were tied up while fighting. After about thirty moves, Autumn Rain seized the opportunity to strike Mu Lingshi in the abdomen, causing Mu Lingshi to spit out holy blood once again and fly backwards.
However, Mu Lingshi fought quite tenaciously and immediately stood up again, swinging his sword and slashing horizontally at Qiu Yu.
Autumn Rain completely lost his patience, his killing intent was revealed in his eyes, and he blasted over with a full force fist, immediately, forming a huge fist print, causing a large portion of the bones on Mu Lingshi’s body to break, and he completely collapsed on the ground, never able to stand up again.
Mu Lingshi collapsed in a pool of blood, her body so painful that it was about to go numb, and only one pair of eyes was still turning, looking over towards the direction where Zhang Ruochen was, revealing a helpless and sad gaze.
Her fingers were dyed red with blood as she gently moved them, ultimately failing to raise her battle sword again.
Mu Lingshi only felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, her eyes were getting dimmer and dimmer, and before she was about to lose consciousness, she vaguely saw that, in the curtains of her eyes, a figure dressed in white appeared, actually standing in front of Zhang Ruochen’s body.
It was a woman in white, covered in a rain of light, her ebony black length hanging down to her waist, every inch of her skin radiating a glittering radiance, simply like a fairy who did not eat earthly fire.
Underneath her upright jade buttocks, there was a snow-white tail.
“Luckily, I arrived in time.”The woman in white said as if she was talking to herself.
When Qiu Yu looked at that white-clothed woman standing beside Zhang Ruochen, she frowned, and then, in a cold voice, she said, “Princess Baili, do you dare to meddle in my affairs?
