Shanjī's bones weren't just cracked anymore; they were practically turning to dust!
Looking through his true qi, Shanjī's body was like a pile of rotten cotton.
"Shanjī, you can't be hurt, you can't..." Lord Xiangjiao was completely panicked. "Right, Big Brother and Big Sister, I'll go find them now!"
Lord Xiangjiao muttered to himself as he got up to leave.
But then he thought about how he couldn't help Shanjī heal if he left, and he hesitated...
If he stayed, Shanjī would die.
If he left...
Let alone whether he could escape successfully.
Even if he found Ye Fan and the Little Demon Girl, Shanjī probably wouldn't last until they returned.
It turned out that even honest people could be pushed to their limit.
"I'll fight you!" Realizing Shanjī couldn't survive either way, Lord Xiangjiao attacked.
The golden-green dragons fiercely flew towards You Ci.
"Tricks!"
You Ci disdainfully waved his hand, scattering the golden dragons and sending Lord Xiangjiao flying as well.
"Pfft!"
Lord Xiangjiao rolled several times on the ground before stopping, then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
If You Ci hadn't held back, he would have been done for!
You Ci ignored Lord Xiangjiao and continued to torment Shanjī.
Even though his orders were to capture him alive, being alive and not being injured were two different things.
And he happened to be someone who didn't hold back...
Even though Shanjī had only inflicted superficial wounds on him, it was enough to make him very displeased!
"Brother Jiao... hurry and leave..." Shanjī's mind was completely muddled now, muttering unconsciously.
He didn't have the energy to figure out why they had been ambushed.
He just felt very sleepy and wanted to have a good nap...
Lord Xiangjiao tried to get up but failed.
All his bones seemed to be shattered; his condition wasn't much better than Shanjī's.
"Let go of my brother..." Lord Xiangjiao looked at You Ci, mumbling.
You Ci didn't know if he heard him, completely ignoring him.
"Let go of my brother..."
"Let go of my brother..."
"Let go of my brother..."
...
Lord Xiangjiao kept repeating this sentence.
One minute later.
"Bang!"
The giant hand of true qi dissipated, and Shanjī crashed to the ground.
You Ci, having finished tormenting his "animal," twisted his neck contentedly.
"You've been chattering for so long, now it's time to..." He paused mid-sentence.
Because the Lord Xiangjiao who had been lying on the ground was nowhere to be seen!
You Ci's heart lurched!
Something was wrong!
Although he hadn't been watching Lord Xiangjiao, he would have noticed any movement immediately!
It was impossible for someone to disappear silently, evading his true qi surveillance!
There were other experts around!
You Ci scanned his surroundings nervously!
Someone who could rescue a person while evading his senses was beyond his control!
"You are making an enemy of our 'Ten Thousand Ghost Gang,' have you thought this through?!" You Ci asked tentatively.
"Hoo—!"
A low sigh came from above.
You Ci instinctively looked up.
A black figure was floating silently in mid-air.
Behind him was a bright full moon.
The figure was shrouded in shadow and indistinct, but based on his build, it should be Lord Xiangjiao.
For some reason.
This scene made You Ci inexplicably panic.
Lord Xiangjiao still had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, even weaker due to his serious injuries.
Yet, such a weakling made You Ci feel inexplicably uncomfortable...
He couldn't pinpoint the reason, just an uncontrollable sense of danger.
You Ci finally realized the seriousness of the situation!
This instinct was something he had only learned through countless life-and-death experiences and would never be wrong!
But You Ci didn't choose to flee; instead, he became more excited and expectant!
He admitted that Shanjī's injury earlier had indeed shocked and surprised him.
It was considered almost impossible to win by crossing a small realm, let alone a whole major realm!
Even a superficial wound was incredibly unbelievable!
But so what?
Shanjī, a peak expert, only managed to inflict a superficial wound on him. What waves could a Nascent Soul stage banana spirit make?!
Since there was no danger, he naturally had to investigate!
Lord Xiangjiao slowly descended, his sleeves billowing.
"I said earlier..." Lord Xiangjiao looked up, his gaze cold as he stared at You Ci, "Let go of my brother!"
"Interesting." You Ci conjured a ball of true qi and played with it at his fingertips. "You see, I've let him go now."
"But you injured my brother!" As he spoke, golden-green demonic energy surrounded Lord Xiangjiao's body. "It's too late!"
The response was a stream of true qi shot by You Ci.
A strange thing happened!
Before the true qi could touch Lord Xiangjiao's body, it was devoured by the demonic energy surrounding him!
"Hoo!"
With a roar from Lord Xiangjiao, his robes turned to shreds!
A sturdy physique was revealed before You Ci's eyes.
Only his short shorts remained, stubbornly clinging to him.
His firm muscles, bathed in moonlight, exuded a strange beauty.
You Ci suddenly felt a churning in his stomach, and his eyes burned painfully...
The next moment, Lord Xiangjiao moved!
However, it wasn't any kind of attack.
Because Lord Xiangjiao began to dance in place!
It was a dance posture that You Ci had never seen before, its rhythm filled with an eerie aura...
As Lord Xiangjiao danced, he offered You Ci an incomparably warm smile.
Under the moonlight, a muscular hunk wearing only shorts was dancing for you.
While dancing, he even smiled warmly...
You Ci's throat tickled, and he felt like he was about to vomit...
Everything felt too strange and disgusting!
Time ticked by.
You Ci suddenly realized a terrible problem.
Despite feeling utterly disgusting, he had no urge to look away or escape.
Even the scene he had found revolting moments ago seemed to become more palatable...
Something is wrong with me!
Realizing this, You Ci prepared to attack!
No matter what trick you're playing, as long as I defeat you, it's over!
Even the spirit beast under me is this weird, so Ye Fan must be even more dangerous.
I'll take these two back today and let the third brother and the others deal with the rest!
His true qi in the Dantian whirled, slowly moving towards his arm...
Huh?
Why can't I mobilize my true qi?
You Ci, refusing to believe it, tried to mobilize his true qi again, but failed.
He discovered in horror that his true qi seemed to have been sealed, unable to be moved at all!
This is a great mystery!
It's time for a strategic retreat!
But as You Ci tried to escape, he discovered an even more terrifying fact.
He couldn't move!
His body was as if nailed to the ground, and he couldn't even make a sound!
At this moment, You Ci was completely panicked...
Lord Xiangjiao continued to dance with a warm smile, but that smile now filled You Ci with dread...
What the hell is this thing?!
Since he couldn't close his eyes, You Ci was forced to keep watching.
Gradually.
You Ci found himself becoming even more abnormal.
The terrifying smile in his eyes was starting to look pleasing.
No, not pleasing.
Comfortable!
That smile seemed to possess a certain magic, making him want to look at it more...
"Heh heh... heh heh heh..."
Even You Ci didn't realize that he had started to emit a foolish chuckle.
A few minutes later.
Lord Xiangjiao stopped dancing and walked over to help up the slumped Shanjī.
"Brother Jiao..." Shanjī muttered weakly.
"Brother, don't speak," Lord Xiangjiao said, hugging Shanjī affectionately. "Conserve your energy, I'll take you home now."
Under the moonlight.
The muscular hunk, wearing only his shorts, flew away carrying another limp, burly man...
You Ci seemed completely oblivious, still standing there foolishly...
