Hero Saves the Beauty

It was clear that they were experienced and coordinated, as this was not their first time doing such a thing.

Ye Xin dared not be negligent and hurriedly summoned a Cyan Shield, which instantly expanded to block her front.

Five glowing magical artifacts struck the Cyan Shield, producing a series of muffled "bang" sounds.

They did not want to kill Ye Xin, but rather to injure her so they could have their way with her.

Ye Xin was well aware of their intentions, so she activated a thick stack of Chain Fireball Talismans, which transformed into hundreds of Crimson Fireballs that smashed toward the opposite side with fierce momentum.

The bald man pinched a spell gesture, and the light on his Yellow Shield flared brightly.

Rumble!

A series of explosions rang out; raging flames engulfed the Yellow Shield, and the Crimson Fireballs slammed into the ground, blasting out a large crater.

A sharp "hissing" sound of wind breaking erupted as a massive wave of Cyan Wind Blades shot over.

With a series of dull thuds, hundreds of Cyan Wind Blades slashed against the Yellow Shield, leaving it covered in scars and dozens of tiny cracks.

Two Red Flying Swords bypassed the Cyan Shield and slashed toward Ye Xin.

Ye Xin hurriedly summoned a Cyan Flying Sword to meet the two Red Flying Swords.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The Cyan Flying Sword blocked the two Red Flying Swords, but two Blue Flying Knives bypassed the Cyan Shield and struck Ye Xin's Spirit Protection Barrier, causing a series of muffled thuds.

Ye Xin was terrified; she would rather die than suffer the humiliation of these five male cultivators.

She slapped several Defense Talismans onto her body, and colorful light screens enveloped her entire frame.

All she had to do now was use herself as bait to buy time for Ye Xue, allowing her to escape far away.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Ye Xin's talismans were exhausted. Estimating that Ye Xue had run far enough, her gaze became incredibly firm. She dispelled her defensive barrier just as two Cyan Flying Knives slashed toward her.

She closed her eyes, but the pain she imagined did not come; instead, her body felt tightly bound.

She opened her eyes to see that thick Cyan Ropes had coiled around her. She struggled with all her might, but it was useless.

Han Changming saw it clearly: the two Cyan Flying Knives had suddenly transformed into two Cyan Ropes, quickly binding Ye Xin's body.

"Stinking wench, want to die? It's not that easy. Play with us brothers for a while first."

The bald man wore a lewd grin, his obscene gaze scanning Ye Xin's curvaceous body up and down.

Two Qi Refining cultivators walked toward Ye Xin, leaving her both furious and anxious.

Seeing the two Qi Refining cultivators approaching, Ye Xin bit her red lips hard. She had already decided that she would rather bite her tongue and commit suicide than be humiliated by these villains.

Han Changming frowned as he watched the two evil cultivators walking toward Ye Xin.

These two had not dispelled their defensive spells, making it difficult to launch a sneak attack on them.

To capture the bandits, one must first capture the leader; Han Changming's target was the bald man.

"Rumble!"

A low rumbling sound echoed as dozens of sharp Yellow Earth Spikes burst from the ground, heading straight for the two Qi Refining cultivators.

At the same time, hundreds of Transparent Water Arrows flew out from the sea, aiming directly at the bald man.

Ye Xin was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing that Ye Xue hadn't left; she had been hiding in the shadows, attempting to ambush the evil cultivators.

The bald man had been prepared; he controlled his Yellow Shield to block in front of him while slapping two first-grade high-tier Defense Talismans onto his body, covering himself in thick cyan and red light screens.

The Yellow Earth Spikes and Transparent Water Arrows struck the defensive barriers of the five Qi Refining cultivators, producing a series of muffled "bangs."

Failing the first strike, Ye Xue surfaced from the water. Gritting her teeth, she activated over twenty Chain Fireball Talismans, which turned into hundreds of Crimson Fireballs that smashed toward the bald man and his two companions.

Rumble!

Raging flames submerged the bald man and his two companions, while the other two Qi Refining cultivators did not remain idle, controlling their artifacts to attack Ye Xue.

Ye Xue hurriedly summoned a Blue Command Flag, releasing a massive Blue Water Curtain to block in front of her.

With muffled "pfft" sounds, the artifacts were blocked by the Blue Water Curtain.

A brilliant white light emerged from within the raging flames, and the fire flickered and vanished.

A pale white light screen enveloped the bald man and his two companions; the bald man held a snow-white orb in his hand, which emitted a bone-chilling cold.

Several pieces of yellow wood chips lay scattered on the ground, clearly the remains of the Yellow Shield.

"Stinking girl, I almost capsized in the gutter, but fortunately I..."

Before the bald man could finish his sentence, hundreds of sharp Yellow Earth Spikes suddenly flew from the nearby ground, striking the bald man and his two companions.

The bald man's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly reached for his talismans. Before he could slap them onto his body, a bizarre, piercing screech suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this sound, he felt as if his consciousness sea had been pricked by needles, sending a wave of intense pain through him and slowing his movements.

With a series of muffled "bangs," hundreds of Yellow Earth Spikes struck the white light screen, causing it to flicker and fade as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

With a "whoosh" of breaking wind, a faint, nearly invisible black streak struck the white light screen, piercing through it and the bald man's defenses, before finally boring through the bald man's head.

The bodies of the bald man and his two companions went limp and collapsed onto the beach, lifeless, with a tiny, almost invisible bloodstain on their heads.

The other two evil cultivators realized something was wrong and tried to flee, but hundreds of Crimson Fireballs came flying toward them.

Rumble!

A massive roar erupted as a raging inferno engulfed their bodies.

A bizarre, piercing shriek rang out, and a streak of black light swiftly plunged into the sea of fire.

The magical artifacts that had been attacking Ye Xue and Ye Xin clattered to the ground; clearly, their controllers were already dead.

The cyan rope that had been binding Ye Xin transformed into two flying knives and dropped to the ground.

Not long after, the flames dissipated, revealing two men lying in pools of blood.

"Many thanks for saving our lives, Fellow Daoist. We sisters are eternally grateful."

Ye Xin cupped her hands toward the direction of Han Changming and spoke with gratitude. She did not put away her magical artifact; instead, she cast a protective barrier on herself, her face full of caution.

Han Changming stepped out from behind a massive yellow boulder. Naturally, he was not showing his true face.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, it is you."

Seeing Han Changming, Ye Xin was slightly startled, and her guard lowered significantly.

"I was wondering who was so kind-hearted as to step in and help! So it was Fellow Daoist Hu. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hu."

Ye Xue smiled sweetly and said gratefully.

"It was just a small effort. I didn't expect to run into the two Fairy Ye sisters here. Where are your companions? Why are there only the two of you?"

As Han Changming spoke, he retrieved his Shadowless Needle.

The reason he was able to eliminate five Qi Refining cultivators this time was, first, that Ye Xue had distracted them, and second, that the Amethyst Flying Scorpion had disrupted their consciousness, allowing Han Changming to seize the opportunity for a sneak attack. That was the only way he could have killed five Qi Refining cultivators.

"We encountered evil cultivators, and our companions fled in different directions, so we were separated. Fellow Daoist Hu, thank you. If not for you this time, the two of us would have been in grave danger."

Han Changming smiled and said, "It was just a small effort. If there is nothing else, you should return to the marketplace."
