Compensate Us for Our Travel Expenses

Swish, swish, swish!

At that moment, a massive phantom of a white tiger appeared around Bai Shanh u as well.

She stood within the phantom, and whenever she threw a punch, the white tiger swung its claws in perfect synchronization.

Yong Tan drew a longsword and continuously unleashed waves of sword energy.

There wasn’t the slightest glimmer of light in the night sky. The only thing visible was the qi of both sides, constantly colliding and swirling through the air.

Meanwhile, Xu Mu and Chen Xuan had also landed.

Chen Xuan immediately took out his phone and checked the map. “We just flew over that river, and we’ve only covered half the distance. We’ve already spent two hundred jin of spirit stones!”

“Don’t worry. At worst, we’ll make them reimburse us later.”

Xu Mu looked toward the battle in the distance.

Of the experts accompanying those two women, one was already dead, while another had lost the ability to fight.

The remaining two second-tier fighters were still battling in the sky.

As for Yong Tan and Bai Shanh u, they were equally matched.

However, Xu Mu could tell one thing: The purple flame on Bai Shanh u’s earring was still burning, which proved that she had not released her death aura.

“Go!”

Suddenly, Bai Shanh u struck out with her palm. The white-tiger phantom, as dazzling as white lightning, suddenly flew out of her body.

Its enormous form dodged the attacks again and again as it charged toward Yong Tan.

Boom! Boom!

Every strike from the white tiger sent violent tremors through the earth. The surrounding trees shattered and flew in all directions.

Perhaps that was why they had chosen to fight here. The area was extremely open, with hardly any sign of human habitation, so their battle would not attract onlookers.

Yong Tan continued dodging around the area while retreating northward through the air. Bai Shanh u did not pursue her directly, clearly still deeply wary of Yong Tan’s death aura.

As long as Yong Tan did not release her death aura, Bai Shanh u could not engage her in close combat.

However, Bai Shanh u could clearly see that Yong Tan was fighting the white tiger while retreating north.

The Jiuyou clansman fighting in the sky was doing the same.

Clearly, their goal was to keep heading north, toward the city where their Jiuyou clan was based.

Once they reached the city, the Jiuyou experts inside would certainly notice that a battle was taking place here.

As soon as those experts arrived, they would have no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Bai Shanh u clenched her fists. She could not wait any longer.

She suddenly charged at Yong Tan, attacking together with the white tiger from the front and behind. Yong Tan could not possibly deal with both of them alone.

Yong Tan had already been injured, and now the situation became even more unfavorable for her.

Just then, the flame on Yong Tan’s earring suddenly spread outward.

Bai Shanh u, who had been prepared for this, immediately retreated, attempting to avoid the attack.

In the end, the death aura only brushed against her, making her slightly dizzy without causing any serious harm.

Seeing that Yong Tan’s death aura had dissipated, Bai Shanh u charged at her again without the slightest hesitation.

Now, she had nothing left to fear.

Buzz!

Just as she approached Yong Tan, death aura once again burst from Yong Tan’s body.

A transparent black barrier completely enveloped Bai Shanh u.

“What?”

Bai Shanh u’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

A violent pain erupted in her head, making her temporarily incapable of thought.

Swish!

Yong Tan’s longsword stabbed toward Bai Shanh u’s heart.

But at that critical moment, Bai Shanh u managed to react and shifted her body slightly.

As a result, the sword pierced through her waist instead.

The pain snapped Bai Shanh u back to her senses. She released her strength and firmly seized the blade.

Boom!

The white tiger behind Yong Tan struck Bai Shanh u with one claw, sending her flying. She smashed through several large trees in succession before finally crashing into a hillside.

The two people fighting in the sky saw this and flew down at once.

The old man from the White Tiger clan looked at Bai Shanh u, who had been stabbed, and said gravely, “Princess! Are you all right?”

“I’m fine.”

Bai Shanh u immediately swallowed a pill.

The Jiuyou expert in the distance also pulled Yong Tan up from the hillside. “Miss, are you all right?”

Yong Tan looked down at the wound around her waist, which was now bleeding profusely.

She also took several pills, then quickly wrapped a bandage around her waist.

“I’m fine. Her injuries are more serious.”

Yong Tan stared at the two people in the distance.

“Your death aura was clearly gone. Why could you still release it?”

Bai Shanh u questioned her coldly.

“You seem to have misunderstood the death aura of our Jiuyou clan. It’s true that our earrings can store death aura, but think about it—how does our death aura come into existence in the first place?”

Yong Tan pointed at herself. “Of course, we release it ourselves. It’s just that a single release isn’t as powerful as the aura we accumulate.”

By this time, Xu Mu had already dispelled the illusion formation. He and Chen Xuan were sitting together on a high tree branch.

“Heh heh, I love watching women fight.”

Chen Xuan munched on the strips of beef Xu Mu had given him, grinning as he watched the two sides.

Xu Mu also smiled. With such high destiny levels, their battles really were something else.

The combatants also looked over, and all of their gazes fell on Xu Mu.

The person beside Chen Xuan earlier had been a man with a large, round face, but he had now become a handsome man with a thin face.

“Are you Xu Mu?”

Yong Tan suddenly asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing that name, the second-tier expert beside her trembled as well.

The Jiuyou clan had issued a wanted order for this man.

Back in the Divine Battlefield, Xu Mu had easily defeated Youhuo, the genius of their clan.

Youhuo was a second-level Boundary Breaker with the ability to fight above his level. That meant Xu Mu could defeat him just as easily.

“Xu Mu?”

Bai Shanh u also looked at Xu Mu. “I never thought you were Xu Mu. I remember that the Jiuyou clan is hunting you. Why don’t we join forces and deal with them?”

“Stop trying to drive a wedge between us. The Jiuyou clan’s wanted order has nothing to do with our branch.”

Yong Tan smiled at Xu Mu. “I’m actually filled with admiration for you.”

“Bullshit! Xu Mu, don’t listen to her. Not a single person in the Jiuyou clan is trustworthy.”

Bai Shanh u let out a cold snort.

Xu Mu first checked Yong Tan’s filial piety points toward him. Even after learning his identity, the value remained at zero, and her hatred had not increased either.

“Why did you kill them?”

Xu Mu jumped down from the tree branch and walked toward Bai Shanh u.

“I didn’t kill them. We were trying to capture her and exchange her for our clansmen.”

Bai Shanh u explained, “Our four clans originally became friendly with the descendants of Yanhuang, but the other four great clans joined forces to target us for a thousand years. Most of the White Tiger clan was destroyed, yet they still refuse to let us go!”

Only then did Xu Mu nod inwardly. He turned to Yong Tan. “Is that true?”

“It is. However, we’re only carrying out orders, and we have no right to refuse. To be honest, I’m a concubine-born daughter. I have no standing in our clan and am even bullied by the legitimate line.”

Yong Tan spoke with a helpless expression. “Using me as leverage is pointless.”

“You think I haven’t investigated you? You may be a concubine-born daughter, but among all your father’s children, your talent ranks first. Your father wouldn’t simply abandon you.”

Bai Shanh u pointed at Yong Tan as she spoke.

“All right, both of you. I have something to say.”

Xu Mu raised a hand, signaling for them to quiet down. “Each of you will give us one hundred jin of spirit stones to cover our travel expenses. Otherwise, I’ll kill you both first.”
