A series of metallic clangs rang out, followed by a large expanse of cyan sword energy that flew from within the silver lightning. This energy transformed into a gigantic, hazy cyan sword, cleaving towards Bai Ling'er and her five companions. The roar of a fierce beast echoed, and a massive cyan sword-dragon pursued closely behind.
In the dark night, countless specks of spiritual light illuminated the surroundings, drifting downwards. These lights transformed into a deluge of colorful petals, overwhelming Bai Ling'er and her group.
Bai Ling'er didn't dare to delay. She gently shook the white bell in her hand, causing the miniature fox to emit a large wave of white sound. Simultaneously, the ground shook violently, and a yellow earthen wall, dozens of meters tall, rose from the ground, blocking their path.
Ying Xiao and the others also intervened to block the attack, none of them daring to be careless.
Boom! A series of rumbling sounds reverberated, and various magical lights blossomed in the void, standing out prominently in the dark night.
Liu Mei'er and Wang Qingshan transformed into two streaks of escape light and fled. Wang Qingshan, controlling his sword light, flew swiftly, while Liu Mei'er was somewhat slower. Five demonic birds swooped down from high in the sky, pouncing on Liu Mei'er.
Liu Mei'er formed a hand seal with her delicate fingers, and countless cyan lights appeared around her body, transforming into a gigantic golden spirit flower. The flower then emitted countless golden threads, striking at the five demonic birds.
Just then, the void distorted, and a silver eagle claw and a white fox claw appeared out of thin air, grabbing towards Liu Mei'er.
With a muffled thud, the cyan aura protecting Liu Mei'er's body shattered. Her back was struck by the fox claw, leaving several horrifying bloody gashes, and she fell to the ground.
Suddenly, two large yellow hands emerged from the ground, seizing Liu Mei'er's body.
Several glittering magic treasures shot towards her, poised to kill Liu Mei'er.
A streak of cyan sword light shot forth, knocking all the magic treasures away.
A long cyan rainbow flew over, shattering the two large yellow hands, then wrapped around Liu Mei'er and soared swiftly into the sky.
The five demonic birds lunged at them from different directions. Suddenly, countless cyan sword shadows lit up in the void, forming a massive cyan sword-dragon that pounced forward, intercepting the five demonic birds.
Bai Ling'er and the others attempted to pursue, but a streak of crimson sword light shot towards them at high speed.
Ying Xiao flapped his wings fiercely, unleashing a large expanse of thick silver lightning that shattered the crimson sword light, sending shockwaves rippling through the air.
By this time, Wang Qingshan and Liu Mei'er had already vanished into the horizon.
"Chase them, don't let them escape!"
Ying Xiao intended to pursue. With his escape speed, catching up to Wang Qingshan and Liu Mei'er by chasing them at full power would only be a matter of time.
Bai Ling'er shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't chase them. Our mission is to quickly return to the rear and deliver our goods. Killing them won't affect the overall situation. A cornered rabbit will bite, so don't push them too hard."
Wang Qingshan quickly recovered from her illusionary technique, indicating either exceptional spiritual consciousness or the presence of a unique treasure on him. If an opponent is not swayed by her illusions, it's hard to say who would win in a direct confrontation.
Wang Qingshan flew while embracing Liu Mei'er. Liu Mei'er wrapped her arms around Wang Qingshan, her face filled with allure, her soft, ample bosom pressed tightly against his chest.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I think I've been poisoned. We need to find a place to detoxify quickly."
Liu Mei'er's face was flushed, and she urged him on.
"If you're poisoned, take out a pill and consume it yourself. Stopping now would be courting death."
Wang Qingshan's tone was indifferent as he flew at full speed.
"I've been afflicted with an aphrodisiac poison. How can I resolve this?"
Liu Mei'er's breath was like orchids, her beautiful eyes filled with charm, staring directly at Wang Qingshan, her soft red lips about to press against his face.
"If you were truly afflicted with an aphrodisiac poison, would you be so calm? We are trying to escape; be serious."
Wang Qingshan frowned and said with a cold expression.
"You blockhead, I was just joking; you don't get it," Liu Mei'er said playfully. She turned her beautiful eyes to Wang Qingshan, her face full of tenderness, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, you saved me. I have nothing to repay you with except myself. What do you think?"
"You saved me before, so we're even."
Wang Qingshan maintained a tense expression, completely ignoring Liu Mei'er's teasing.
Liu Mei'er's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she playfully scoffed, "Are all sword cultivators so cold? Or... are you incapable?"
She wrapped her legs around Wang Qingshan's waist, clinging to him like an octopus.
"If you keep doing this, I'll throw you down immediately. Do you believe me?"
Wang Qingshan said with a cold face and an indifferent tone.
Liu Mei'er was pressed against his entire body, and a faint, virginal fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Her soft, ample breasts were pressed against his chest. Though Wang Qingshan was devoted to the Dao, his body was honest. Liu Mei'er's persistent teasing caused his mind to wander, and his lower body reacted.
"Hehe, it seems you're not incapable. I thought you were like that pervert Fang Mu!"
Liu Mei'er felt Wang Qingshan's reaction, chuckled, and released her legs.
"Do you think I'm a hussy? I bet you've never met a female cultivator like me!"
Liu Mei'er looked directly at Wang Qingshan and asked seriously.
Wang Qingshan still maintained a cold expression and replied, "How you choose to live is your decision. I have no right or interest to interfere."
"Then how about me becoming your Dao companion? You're unmarried, I'm unwed, and both our masters are Nascent Soul cultivators, making us a good match. What do you think? Our Myriad Flowers Palace has a secret dual cultivation technique that helps speed up cultivation. Would you consider it?"
Liu Mei'er's face was full of allure, and she gazed at Wang Qingshan with fiery eyes.
Wang Qingshan ignored her, increasing his escape speed.
Two hours later, Wang Qingshan landed in a secluded mountain valley. Not far away was a cave.
"It should be safe here now. Find a place to heal your injuries. Don't disturb me while I heal."
Wang Qingshan released Liu Mei'er and stepped into the cave.
"Blockhead, you have no romantic flair at all!"
Liu Mei'er watched Wang Qingshan's receding back, stomping her foot in annoyance, her ample breasts jiggling.
If Wang Qingshan hadn't reacted earlier, she would have truly believed he wasn't interested in women.
The cave was not large. Before long, Wang Qingshan reached its end, a stone chamber over a hundred meters wide. He released his Three-Headed Fox for vigilance, then sat down cross-legged. He sprinkled some cyan powder on the wound on his left shoulder and took out a white medicinal pill, which he swallowed.
The pill dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, and a coolness rose in his abdomen, spreading throughout his limbs and bones.
He closed his eyes, and a faint cyan light illuminated his body.
Bai Ling'er's illusionary technique was terrifying; she could trap him in an illusion with just her voice. If his spiritual consciousness hadn't been strong enough for him to recover in time, he might have already died.
An hour later, Wang Qingshan stood up. The bleeding from the wound on his left shoulder had stopped.
He stepped out, and Liu Mei'er happened to walk towards him. Her complexion was much better. She took out a cyan jade box and tossed it to Wang Qingshan.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please help me apply medicine to the wound on my back. I can't reach it myself."
"Why can't you reach it yourself? Just apply it with your backhand."
Liu Mei'er glared at Wang Qingshan and retorted indignantly, "If it's not applied evenly, it will leave a scar, and scars are ugly. I'm not bothered, so why should a big man like you care? Hurry up, don't dilly-dally!"
After saying this, Liu Mei'er turned around and removed her upper garment, revealing her fair, jade-like back to Wang Qingshan. A red *dudou* (a traditional Chinese undergarment) was tied at the back. There were several clearly visible bloody gashes on her back, but the bleeding had stopped.
Wang Qingshan frowned slightly, opened the jade box, and quickly applied the ointment to Liu Mei'er's wounds.
Wang Qingshan put down the cyan jade box, turned around, and said, "All right, you can put your clothes back on now."
Liu Mei'er put on her clothes and looked at Wang Qingshan with a half-smile, saying, "Is this your first time applying wound medicine for someone?"
Wang Qingshan did not answer. He said, "We haven't been out for long, and this is, after all, territory controlled by the demon race. Let's head back quickly!"
After saying this, he put away his Three-Headed Fox and quickly walked towards the cave entrance.
Liu Mei'er's face showed an interested expression, and she quickly followed him.
The two transformed into two streaks of escape light and vanished into the horizon.
