And in a dense forest no more than five hundred miles away from Lanling Town, two figures were chasing each other.

In front is a woman dressed in green clothes and covered with a white veil. She held her sword in her right hand and her chest in her left, her clothes red with blood, and as she ran, a little blood spilled from time to time. Behind her, there was a humanoid monster, which was huge, nearly a foot tall, and dragged a long, scaly snake tail behind it. He was on all fours, running in the mountains and forests like a wild beast, his scarlet eyes emitting bursts of ghostly light, and he was staring at the woman in front of him at the moment, and the corners of his mouth were stinking saliva from time to time.

The woman's face grew paler, but her eyes were cold, without fear or anger. It is like the snow on the Tianshan Mountains and the spring under the ground, dust-free and dirt-free.

Her speed slowed, and the scar on her chest gradually became an unusual dark color, which was the poison she had received after being attacked by the monster behind her. Although this level of poison is powerful, with her cultivation, it stands to reason that it can't hurt her. But because the monster kept chasing, she didn't have time to heal herself with her spiritual power, so that the venom had begun to spread gradually.

The monster behind her seemed to know her body very well, so he slowed down a little, just following her like a ghost, without the slightest intention of taking the initiative. He seems to be thinking that through such a tug-of-war of chase, he will finally drag down the woman for life.

I have to admit that this is a good strategy, and it only takes a little more time to win a place and outperform your opponents.

But things didn't turn out as he hoped.

The look on the woman's face did not show the slightest joy in defeating the monster's trick. Her eyes grew colder, and after passing through a row of unknown trees, a large mountain appeared in front of her eyes.

It was a cliff mouth, it was high and thousands of feet, and it stood there like a roadblock, blocking the woman's way.

The woman was stunned for a moment at the sudden appearance of the cliff, and then, she resolutely turned around, put the sword in her hand across her chest, and a chill suddenly rose from her body.

The shadowy monster also came to the woman after a few breaths, and he stopped about four or five feet away from the woman and stood up. He stuck out his slender tongue and licked his lips. Then in those scarlet eyes, a fierce light flashed. He asked in a playful tone, "Run, I thought you Xingchen Pavilion lackeys were all lost dogs who only knew how to escape?"

The woman's brow furrowed, but she did not speak. But the chill on her body deepened because of this, and she was about to stab at the monster with her sword, but as soon as the sword was raised, her face changed, and a stream of blood spurted out of her mouth. Her sword moves stopped.

Only then did she realize that the spiritual power in her body had been dyed with a dark gray aura at some point. These obscure substances instantly traveled through her body as the spiritual power in her body flowed when she took out the sword, and her body was corroded by this unknown thing. It's a hassle to put it in normal life, but she can get rid of it if she just needs to give her some time. But now, apparently, the monster in front of her is not going to give her any time.

A series of changes in the woman fell into the monster's eyes, and the corners of his mouth drew a cruel smile. He walked slowly towards the woman, stepping on the ground covered with fallen leaves, making a rustling sound.

The woman looked at the approaching monster, her brow almost furrowed. She slowly stepped back with her sword in hand, her eyes watching the monster warily.

The monster seemed to enjoy the pleasure, and he was not in a hurry to attack, but allowed the woman to retreat.

Finally, the woman retreated to the cliff pass, and her heart sank, knowing that there was no desperate fight at this time, and there was a glimmer of life. She endured the sharp pain from the operation of her spiritual power, and raised her sword in front of her again.

The monster let out a roar at this moment, and the light of his scarlet eyes became more and more vicious from the impending killing. His body jerked forward, the claws in his hands glowing with a terrifying light.

Almost at this moment, the woman was also motivated, her sword aura was like a rainbow, accompanied by the sound of dragons and phoenixes, her body turned into a streamer, and she rushed towards the monster.

Although this blow was huge, the woman knew that it was actually a bluff. The spiritual power in her body had become empty due to the erosion of those unknown dark substances, and the last of the spiritual powers she had forced herself to raise was nothing more than a mantis arm as a car. When she stabbed the sword, she was dead.

And at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The monster that had been rushing towards it like a fierce god and had reached mid-air suddenly stopped.

His scarlet eyes dimmed at that moment, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, the expression on his face became sluggish, and his body fell immediately, falling the ground covered with dead leaves.

The woman was slightly stunned, obviously startled by this sudden change. But she soon came to her senses and realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Almost subconsciously, her sword swinged, and a chill broke through the air.

The monster on the ground seemed to be seriously wounded, and he could hardly even resist when he saw the woman attacking so fiercely. He let out a roar, a pair of bone wings suddenly stretched out from his back, and his figure moved, and he fled into the distance without looking back.

The woman did not pursue, but she still watched the fleeing figure with her sword in her hand until she was completely sure that he would not return. Her body suddenly went limp, and she sat down on the ground.

The woman took a few breaths to adjust her disordered spiritual power, her brows furrowed, and her heart fluttered, and a silk thread suddenly appeared, one end of which was connected to her body, and the other end stretched out to a distant place where she didn't know where it was.

Her brow furrowed, looking at this silk thread, which was obviously much ruder than the last time, she knew a little more about the monster's mutation.

"It's time to go to this cause and effect. ”

She muttered softly.

Yuheng's speed was so fast that Su Changan couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly at all, and only felt that the surrounding mountains, rivers, grass and trees were retreating backwards like a tsunami. By the time the scenery in front of him brightened up again, Su Changan had already returned to Tianlan Courtyard.

He was just about to say something when a yellow figure with an intoxicating fragrance rushed over.

Although Yu Heng had almost exhausted the injuries in his body, his spiritual power was empty, his body was inevitably a little weak, and the figure that rushed was too sudden, so that he could barely support Gu Xianjun who was still unconscious.

"Like the moon. Su Changan recognized the identity of the comer from the aroma.

"Master Su, Ruyue is worried to death!" Fan Ruyue also seemed to see Su Changan's physical discomfort, she hurriedly helped Gu Xianjun who was still in a coma, and then looked at Su Changan, and said with red eyes.

When Su Changan saw her like this, he panicked for no reason, feeling as if he had really done something vicious. He hurriedly stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears that had overflowed Fan Ruyue's eyes, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, don't you see that I'm doing well?"

Perhaps because Su Changan's hand stretched out too suddenly, Fan Ruyue's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head a little shyly, just wanting something. saw Su Changan's face suddenly turn white, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Fan Ruyue's heart tightened, and she wanted to squat down to help Su Chang'an, but she was still leaning on Gu Xianjun in a coma on her shoulder, she only looked at Yu Heng with an anxious face and asked, "Su Gongzi! What's wrong with Su Gongzi?" Perhaps because she was too anxious, she didn't even bring her usual honorific title to Yu Heng.

Yu Heng didn't care about this, he said slowly: "It's okay, it's just out of strength." Take a break and you'll be fine. ”

"Really?" Fan Ruyue was obviously still not very relieved, and couldn't help but ask again.

When Yu Heng heard this, he glanced at Fan Ruyue and said, "How could I lie to you, this stinky boy is your lover and the only seedling of my Tianlan Academy." I'm more worried about his safety than you do!"

Fan Ruyue heard him say this. His face was even more ruddy, but his heart was finally a little relieved.
