Each with Their Own Schemes, Nascent Soul Five Tribulations (Please Vote for the Guaranteed Monthly Pass)

Peach Fairy's sudden withdrawal caught everyone present completely off guard.

Freed from the confinement of the magic treasure, Qing Xi's figure reappeared.

Seeing Yu Jian and Mo Tu Shan locked in confrontation, she did not hesitate. Sword light flashed, and she struck directly at Mo Tu Shan.

"Damn bitch!"

Mo Tu Shan's expression changed. He retreated as well, dodging the sword light before darting toward the Teleportation Array.

The phantom of the treasured sword behind Yu Jian made him realize that his opponent possessed a powerful spirit artifact not much weaker than his Nine Abyss Demonic Pagoda.

If they truly clashed head-on, even if he could kill Yu Jian, he would inevitably suffer severe injuries himself.

Now that Qing Xi had broken free, if the two joined forces, even he would find them difficult to withstand.

More importantly, if his injuries became too severe and he could not recover in time—

Passing the fifth stage would become no easy matter.

As his thoughts raced, Mo Tu Shan's desire to retreat grew even stronger.

He unleashed a massive palm of Demonic Qi, blocking the successive sword lights Qing Xi sent forth. Then, without looking back, his figure vanished into the Teleportation Array, returning to the body Trial Passage.

"Trying to run?"

Seeing this, Qing Xi's willow brows shot up as she prepared to chase after him with her sword.

"Junior Sister Qing Xi, wait!" Yu Jian called out to stop her. "Do not pursue a desperate foe. There may be an ambush on the other side."

Even as he spoke, his aura plummeted sharply, and the giant sword phantom behind him shattered apart.

"Senior Brother Yu Jian!"

Qing Xi was startled and hurried to his side.

Only when she saw Yu Jian's pale face and greatly weakened aura did she understand.
