Su Xiaomo was very depressed!
Fighting in this kind of terrain that restricted him, his speed couldn’t be displayed at all. Wanting to defeat this dragon-snake-like big guy was truly very difficult.
He had the True Yang Set in his spatial ring, had various equipment the Sect Master gave him.
However, he’d currently already exposed his true cultivation. If he used these things again, he’d definitely make Xia Shuiyun even more suspicious!
What to do!
What should I do!
Su Xiaomo, whose mentality had always been very stable, began to feel conflicted and couldn’t figure out why the spirit beast hiding in the Demon Dragon Cavern’s deepest parts would suddenly charge out!
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Just then, the big guy opened its mouth and spat energy cannonballs.
Because Xia Shuiyun was in the attack area, this forced Su Xiaomo to only choose to take it head-on.
Already restricted by the terrain, with a wounded person holding him back, this made him fight very frustratingly.
“Boom boom!”
“Boom boom boom!”
After a dazzling flurry of kicks, although the various cannonballs were resolved, Su Xiaomo retreated explosively again until retreating before Xia Shuiyun, his face showing a ferocious expression.
“Su Jintang!”
Tears spun in Xia Shuiyun’s eyes as she said, “You leave. I’m begging you!”
She knew that with the strength he’d just displayed, he could escape immediately. If he continued battling with it, sooner or later he’d be killed!
This outwardly cold girl had finally been melted by Su Xiaomo.
At this moment, she only hoped he could safely leave.
Su Xiaomo forced himself to calm down. His spiritual sense observed the surrounding environment, thinking about how to safely escape without exposing more trump cards, and said seriously, “I won’t abandon you and flee.”
Undercover at the Great Profound Sacred Sect, he’d always been acting, but his feelings for Xia Shuiyun were most genuine.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
That spirit beast wriggled its body and quickly charged over, then opened its bloody maw. Powerful air waves carried waves of stench.
“Sect Master…”
Su Xiaomo clenched his fists, thinking to himself, “Things have come to this. This disciple can no longer hide!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
The True Yang Battle Armor covered his body, the True Yang Battle Boots were worn on his feet.
The crimson cape fluttered in the air waves. The camera slowly circled to give Su Xiaomo’s face a close-up. He was already wearing the True Yang Mask.
Xia Shuiyun’s eyes widened.
The battle armor and boots both emanated powerful auras, making her instantly determine these must be extremely high-level equipment!
The Great Profound Sacred Sect also had quite a few weapons and equipment, but none of this type. How could he have them? Could it be… Elder Jun Tian gave them to him?
“Roar!”
Just then, the spirit beast had already charged over frantically.
“Clang!”
The True Yang Sword was unsheathed. The Gale Body and True Yang Battle Boots fused. One could only see Su Xiaomo dragging afterimages as he charged forth.
This speed was so fast that Xia Shuiyun couldn’t capture his true form!
“Whoosh—”
Sword light appeared from nowhere, as if tearing through space as it slashed across, then fresh blood sprayed and suffocating stench spread.
“Roar!”
The dragon-snake-like spirit beast screamed in pain. Its opened maw had been viciously slashed with a conspicuous sword mark!
“Swish!” Su Xiaomo, who’d circled to the rear, rose into the air. Gripping the sword hilt with both hands, spiritual energy poured into the blade as he roared furiously, “Die for me!”
“Squelch!”
The True Yang Sword stabbed viciously into the spirit beast’s skull, which then began frantically crashing about in the cavern.
Su Xiaomo couldn’t dodge in time and was immediately carried along, repeatedly crashing into the walls. His already injured body deteriorated further.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
After a moment, that spirit beast collapsed dead on the ground.
“Blech!”
Su Xiaomo withdrew his sword and jumped down, kneeling on one knee as a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
Currently speaking, clearly in a severely wounded state.
No big problem.
With healing pills available, as long as he took them, he’d immediately recover.
But this woman was still present. He couldn’t be too showy. Had to wait until she wasn’t paying attention…
Just as Su Xiaomo was thinking, Xia Shuiyun rushed over, embracing his injury-covered body, tears falling like rain as she said, “Why are you so foolish! Why did you save me!”
“Uh…”
Su Xiaomo was immediately a bit dazed.
He released the True Yang Sword, struggling to raise both arms to embrace her in return, smiling and saying, “Because you’re the woman I care about most.”
“Clap clap clap.”
Suddenly, applause came from the distance.
Su Xiaomo looked up and discovered Fang Lingyu and several inner sect disciples appearing at the tunnel entrance, so he frowned and said, “Why are you here?”
Xia Shuiyun quickly released him, maintaining distance. Her neck to cheeks had turned completely red.
Escaping danger made her cast aside her reserve and rush over, but she hadn’t expected fellow disciples to appear. That was definitely embarrassing.
“Su Jintang.”
Fang Lingyu said coldly, “I didn’t expect your strength to be so powerful, able to kill a spirit beast about to step into peak level.”
Xia Shuiyun quickly calmed down, turning around and saying, “Senior Sister Fang, we should hurry and leave…”
“Junior Sister Xia.” Fang Lingyu interrupted, “I warned you to stay away from this guy. Not only did you not listen, you even did transgressive things. You’ve truly disappointed me.”
Xia Shuiyun lowered her head.
“Swish!”
Su Xiaomo reached out, placing his hand on her fragrant shoulder, gently pulling her over as he said indifferently, “Shuiyun and I have long been lovers. Isn’t it normal to embrace?”
“Lovers?”
Fang Lingyu looked at Xia Shuiyun with questioning eyes.
“…”
Xia Shuiyun fell silent. After a moment, she spoke, “That’s right, we are lovers!”
She knew Fang Lingyu didn’t like Su Jintang. But at this time, if she denied it outright, she’d definitely hurt him badly.
“I’m sorry.”
Su Xiaomo leaned over, gently kissing Xia Shuiyun’s forehead and saying, “For letting you get hurt.”
This was provoking Fang Lingyu!
However, Xia Shuiyun’s little face became even redder, accompanied by a burning sensation, then she leaned against his shoulder like a delicate little woman.
Since she’d acknowledged their lover relationship, being bullied by him, she could only accept it.
Fang Lingyu’s gaze flashed with intense killing intent.
“Boy!”
She walked over step by step, saying, “I said before, you’re not worthy of Junior Sister Xia!”
Su Xiaomo supported Xia Shuiyun to stand, saying indifferently, “Whether I’m worthy or not, is for you to say? Who the hell are you?”
This woman had definitely witnessed his battle with the spirit beast just now. Since his strength was already known, there was no need to hide anymore.
“Su Jintang!”
Four inner sect disciples stepped forward, glaring angrily and saying, “How dare you speak to Senior Sister Fang like that!”
Su Xiaomo said indifferently, “A bunch of bootlickers.”
“What did you say!”
“Have the guts to say that again!”
The four’s eyes blazed with even more fury. Their Martial King level cultivation erupted, clearly with the intent to attack at any moment.
Su Xiaomo’s earlier scene of killing the spirit beast had shocked them greatly, but now they weren’t afraid at all. After all, the opponent was already severely wounded. As long as Senior Sister Fang gave the order, they’d definitely strike to teach him a lesson.
“Bootlickers, bootlickers.”
Su Xiaomo said coldly, “Lick until you have nothing left.”
These words were like instantly igniting a powder keg, making all four of them rage.
“Boy.”
Fang Lingyu said with a cold face, “Publicly insulting senior brothers, according to the Great Profound Sacred Sect’s rules…”
“Cut the crap about sect rules.” Su Xiaomo embraced Xia Shuiyun, his words extremely proud as he said, “If you want to fight, I’m ready anytime!”
