Explode

"Cough."

Standing a hundred feet away, Tianyan realized he had been hit the moment he saw it, and knew it was too late; he was powerless to resist.

Blood spilled from her mouth, staining her lips red. The sudden injury inside her body caused her to lose control of her suspended body, and she fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

However, none of this attracted the attention of the two men confronting each other at the edge of the lake.

Although the battle has been raging for less than half a quarter of an hour, the situation is already drawing to a close. Anyone who gets distracted at this point could face utter ruin.

Tang Ruofu narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Xu Yuan below.

Apart from the initial sword wound, the boy had no other injuries.

Clearly, his complete Dao Domain attack was completely evaded by the opponent's unknown instantaneous sword technique.

Therefore, the opponent's ability to launch a surprise attack with a sword technique is only one aspect; in that instant of disappearance, they can also evade all magical attacks.

Could there really be such terrifying swordsmanship in this world?

A hint of doubt flashed in Tang Ruofu's eyes; for the first time, he felt a genuine sense of unease from this junior.

It wasn't just because of the opponent's instantaneous sword technique, but also because he didn't understand how Xu Yuan, as a Origin Beginning, could judge the timing of his Dao Domain activation.

Xingwu Domain's anchoring was silent and undetectable; no one within the Mortal Shedding could discern his method of anchoring the enemy.

Only those at the peak of sainthood can detect it in advance through the Sacred Source they control.

Could this kid have mastered the Sacred Source?

Tang Ruofu was startled by this sudden thought.

No, that's not right.

As a demigod, he could only vaguely sense that ethereal Sacred Source.

If someone can control the Sacred Source after only a few years in the Origin Beginning, then such talent is probably unparalleled throughout history.

Thoughts surged through his mind like a stormy sea, and Tang Ruofu's keen senses quickly alerted him to the unusual behavior of the boy below.

This clue brought Tang Ruofu a slight sense of relief.

Besides the sword wound on his chest that contained the Charm God Dao Rhyme, the boy also had another wound on the other side.

The wound was not deep, less than an inch into the flesh, but it contained the "intention" of his sword.

It seems his Dao Domain has not failed.

However, this was not a good thing for Tang Ruofu either.

Just as a sword blade penetrates the body through the skin, flesh, and bones, there is a brief interval when Xingwu Domain inflicts injury on the enemy.

Previously, Tang Ruofu did not care about this gap in time, because once the spell was completed, even a saintly expert could not reverse it and could only watch helplessly as his body was destroyed.

The problem is, the kid below now has sword skills to avoid damage.

Tricky,

There was even a sense of helplessness.

Tang Ruofu never imagined that he, a near-invincible being among the semi-saints, would be helpless when facing a junior.

Admittedly, he could unleash another burst of damage from a distance using his Dao Domain, but this kid replicated what he just did and used sword techniques to evade it.

and,

The trump cards we just used up were used up too much.

Let's talk peace.

The thought had barely crossed Tang Ruofu's mind when he heard a cheerful voice coming from below:

"Uncle, was that your so-called trump card just now?"

Xu Yuan's narrow eyes flashed with a bewitching crimson light as he casually rubbed his chest.

There were two sword wounds there, one deep and one shallow.

He had temporarily stopped the bleeding from the deep wound using his healing Cultivation Method and the powerful physique of the Origin Beginning.

The shallow wound was impossible to heal; the sharp sword intent attached to it blocked all healing abilities.

After stroking it for a moment, Xu Yuan looked up and smiled:

"My swordsmanship seems to be able to counter your trump card. If you have no other means, then I'll have to accept the win of this bet."

"."

Silence for several breaths,

Tang Ruofu gently closed his eyes and slowly uttered a sentence:

"If you win, I can let you go."

"."

"."

"Ha?"

Xu Yuan seemed amused by this remark, a teasing smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Do you think you have the advantage right now?"

Tang Ruofu completely ignored the sarcasm in Xu Yuan's words, opened his eyes, and calmly said:

"You two are no match for me, and I don't want Qing'er to die here. Isn't letting you leave the best option?"

Speaking of this,

Tang Ruofu glanced at Tianyan, who was a hundred feet away.

The girl was still falling towards the ground, her sleeves fluttering, her blood-stained black robe carrying a touch of tragic beauty in the white mist.

"Jing He, you hold Qing'er's life in your hands, and I hold her life in mine. Isn't this a fair trade?"

"It's really fair."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously, and then grinned and said:

But if I tell you,

"Tianyan is actually more than one level stronger than me, what are you going to do?"

"."

Tang Ruofu raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at Tianyan's listless figure, and chuckled:

"Even if she's stronger than you, what good is it now? As a Qi cultivator, the moment her meridians were severed, she was unable to use any spells and was powerless to resist."

Even if you can unleash incredibly powerful spells, if I cripple you first, then you're nothing.

As he spoke, Tang Ruofu's lips curled into a meaningful smile:

"Or are you confident you can rescue her from this state?"

"No."

Xu Yuan smoothed his slightly messy long hair and shook his head nonchalantly. "My Source Qi is more than half depleted, and some cracks have appeared in the inner walls of my meridians. In this state, it's already quite difficult for me to even survive in your hands."

Xu Yuan was telling the truth.

After finding a way to counter their trump card, the scales of victory tilted slightly in his favor, but unfortunately, not by much.

As long as the opponent's Dao Domain, which allows them to maintain peak combat power, can be maintained for even a second, the Poison of the Enchantress God will be suppressed for that second, making it impossible for him to defeat the opponent.

Despite saying this, Xu Yuan showed little worry in his eyes, nor did he have any intention of negotiating. He just stood there quietly.

A cold wind blew through their slightly disheveled robes, creating ripples on the lake's surface and brushing against the flower buds waiting to bloom in the flowerbed.

The pavilions stood tall, the waterside terraces remained unchanged, and suddenly everything fell silent.

Tang Ruofu already knew the other party's answer.

So he moved.

In an instant, wind and thunder roared, lightning flashed, the pervasive white mist was pushed aside by the shockwave, and a deafening sound of air being torn apart echoed throughout the valley.

Xu Yuan immediately became alert and activated the Pure Yang Art at full power to track Tang Ruofu's movements.

It's heading in the direction of Tianyan.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan made no attempt to stop them, but stood quietly watching.

Tang Ruofu's probing made Xu Yuan suspicious of his calm reaction, but Xu Yuan's lightning speed allowed him to cover a hundred feet in an instant and arrive in front of the girl in the black dress.

In an instant, he reached out and grabbed her, who was completely unprepared.

Since words are not enough, let's teach that junior a lesson.

But then, something unexpected happened.

Under Tang Ruofu's near-invincible dynamic vision, the girl with the golden eyes suddenly raised her hand.

However, the direction she aimed at wasn't him, nor Xu Yuan, but her own head.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

Tang Ruofu had absolutely no idea what the girl was trying to do.

Is this an attempt to rebel?

But why direct the resistance at yourself?

A flicker of doubt crossed his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

He doesn't understand, nor does he need to understand.

Now all he needs to do is capture the little girl and exchange her for a hostage with the younger man.

"."

In the blink of an eye,

Tang Ruofu's fingertips were already three inches away from the girl's fair neck.

Then,

Bang.

A dazzling burst of blood erupted before Tang Ruofu's eyes.

It exploded

The girl's beautiful face was instantly blown into a cloud of blood mist along with her head.

Seeing the splattered blood and the headless corpse of the girl in black, even Tang Ruofu, who was used to seeing all kinds of things, couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

Did he... kill himself?

A hint of surprise and doubt surfaced in Tang Ruofu's mind. He subconsciously turned around and looked at Xu Yuan, who was still standing there, trying to find some clues on his face.

What puzzled Tang Ruofu even more was that he didn't see any heartache or panic on the young man's face; he just stared at him indifferently.

Why?

What's the meaning?

What exactly is going on with these two younger people?

Why did Tianyan himself off so decisively, and why was Jing He able to remain so calm?

Chaotic thoughts spread, and a long-lost unease rose in Tang Ruofu's heart.

Something's not right.

But the momentum of his body still caused his palm to touch the girl's headless neck.

Then Tang Ruofu discovered something even more unsettling.

His hands,

There was no physical contact.

The girl's body was like a ghost; he passed right through her.

magic

impossible.

He had just shattered all the meridians in the girl's body. With the meridians severed, no one could cast spells!

This scene, which defied common sense, made Tang Ruofu's hair stand on end instantly.

And the next moment,

Tianyan's figure suddenly appeared in the void, his face as pale as paper, his hands forming a seal, aimed at Tang Ruofu below.

And at this time,

Xu Yuan's Void-Stepping Slash arrived as scheduled.

The sword blade sliced through the void, leaving behind a splash of Ink Sword.

As a semi-saint, Tang Ruofu instantly unleashed several sword beams to defend himself.

The two swords clashed instantly, producing a clanging sound, a surge of air, and countless sparks flying in the air.

In just a few breaths, Xu Yuan's three-foot-long sword was knocked away by the immense force of the opponent's blade, and then a throat-severing sword strike came towards him.

Xu Yuan's pupils contracted.

Void-Stepping Slash.

Before being fatally wounded by a single sword strike, Xu Yuan used the Void-Stepping Slash to escape the battle.

Upon arriving beside Tianyan, the girl immediately Will Soul to convey the clues she had discovered:

"Xu Yuan, this person cultivates the path of a martial apprentice. Besides his Dao Domain, his physical body probably possesses some kind of deadly technique."

"."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan's heart trembled.

ah?

This boss has three phases?

After briefly glancing at the two men's near-exhausted state, Xu Yuan transmitted a message, "Abort the spell, we're preparing to retreat," then stared at Tang Ruofu below and uttered a sentence:

"If you move again, I will cripple your dao companion."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and aimed it directly at the voluptuous young woman writhing her body among the flowerbeds.

"."

With madness in his eyes, Tang Ruofu continued to swing his sword forward without any hesitation.

He knew very well that the girl was preparing some kind of powerful spell, and if they didn't move, he and Xia Qing would both die here.

Seeing that the other party wouldn't listen, Xu Yuan didn't hesitate at all, and the Source Qi bomb he had just planted in the young woman's body was detonated.

As Xia Qing lay on the flowerbed, a trickle of blood immediately spilled from her mouth.

But the second one has not yet been detonated.

"Boom!!!!"

A terrifying pressure emanated from Tang Ruofu, whose aura was like that of a prehistoric beast.

As Tianyan said, this semi- Sword Maniac indeed has three more stages.

He was prepared to fight to the death.

In Xu Yuan's perception, Tang Ruofu had already turned into an almost invisible afterimage.

"."

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan and Tianyan turned and ran without hesitation.

Void-Stepping Slash.

The instant mantra.

"." Tang Ruofu.

The two figures instantly appeared a hundred feet away, and without any intention of lingering, they unleashed two teleportation Secret Method in succession in two different directions, instantly reaching a thousand feet away, turning into two black dots and disappearing into the horizon.

"Hahoo."

Everything returned to calm, leaving only the devastated waterfall valley.

Tang Ruofu stood alone in mid-air, panting heavily, watching the two figures disappear into the horizon, and sighed softly:

"Splitting up is a smart move."

The two fled in different directions, and he dared not give chase. If he did, the other one might turn back, and Qing'er would be in danger.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Ruofu arrived in front of Xia Qing in the flowerbed, and immediately clenched his fist.

The woman before me was no longer the dignified and virtuous woman I remembered. Even with blood constantly spilling from the corner of her lips, she continued to writhe her alluring, voluptuous body on the ground, her clothes half-undone, her eyes filled with lust, and seductive moans escaping her lips.

A moment of silence,

Tang Ruofu slowly approached the woman, lifted her up from the ground, and carried her into Xu Yuan and Tianyan's pavilion.

Upon entering the main hall, the incense was still burning, and the furnishings were elegant and warm.

Tang Ruofu took out two futons and placed them on the ground. He sat down and gently helped Xia Qing put on her half-revealing clothes, intending to treat her wounds.

"You are Ruofu."

The young woman suddenly opened her eyes and nestled into his arms. Her cherry-pink eyes drew closer, and her rosy, alluring lips gently pressed against his.

"Um... please."

The air was silent, their lips met.

Tang Ruofu gently stroked the long hair of the woman in his arms with tender eyes, without doing anything else.

After the kiss.

Tang Ruofu stopped the woman's delicate hands from tugging at his clothes, shook his head, and began to treat his wounds.

If Qing'er had lost her virginity before the Saint, she would have no hope for the rest of her life.

While being kissed, he pressed on the woman's central spine acupoint on her back, channeling his Source Qi into her body to cleanse her of impurities.

Time passed quietly.

As the Source Qi continued to penetrate deeper, Tang Ruofu's brows gradually furrowed.

Something's not right.

Why are all the meridians in Qing'er's body intact?

Didn't that kid just detonate the Source Qi buried inside Qing'er's body?

As he pondered, Tang Ruofu suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Tang Ruofu realized that his clothes had been undressed by the infatuated Xia Qing without his knowledge.

And his field of vision began to sway uncontrollably.

It's over.

What that kid planted from the very beginning wasn't the Source Qi, but the Dao Rhyme Charm Poison!

He used Xia Qing to completely detonate the Charm Poison within him.

"Clatter"

"Clatter"

"Clatter"

In the quiet air, soft footsteps approached from afar.

Tang Ruofu gritted his teeth as he watched the brocade-robed man approaching from the doorway. He instinctively tried to get up, but his body was already out of his control.

Xu Yuan crouched down beside the two of them, propped his chin on his hand, and said with a smile, his eyes narrowed:

"Hey, Auntie's figure is pretty good."

It's a bit late.
