Sister, Save Someone to the Very End

Xu Mu did not move. Instead, he continued waiting. Normally, Chen Xuan and the others should have come out by now.

Those skeletons should not have been enough to cause Chen Xuan much trouble.

After thinking it over, Xu Mu walked toward the group as well. There was nothing else he could do but go over and find out what had happened.

“You’re Jiang Cisui!”

Tian Yunchu suddenly turned her gaze toward Yun Yao.

Of course, Tian Yunchu currently looked like Dorothea.

Yun Yao did not deny it. After all, he had not revealed his identity to the stern-looking Jing Qiu before him, either.

“Who are you?” Yun Yao asked indifferently.

“You don’t need to concern yourself with my identity. I remember that you’re very powerful. With you joining us, we should be able to defeat that guardian.”

Tian Yunchu pointed toward the burly man in armor in the distance.

As she spoke, everyone present turned their eyes toward Xu Mu.

Tian Yunchu followed their gazes and was inwardly astonished. She had not expected the person before her to be even older than she was.

Xu Mu noticed everyone staring at him and felt a little uneasy.

Yun Yao was also watching Xu Mu, but he was not sure whether this person was his junior sister.

After all, her own identity had changed as well, so he had not greeted her.

In the past, Yun Yao had felt some affection for Zhong Ci.

Although her talent was not especially outstanding, she still ranked among the best of the many disciples.

Moreover, compared with her talent, her appearance was truly top-tier. Any man with a normal orientation would like a woman like her, wouldn’t he?

Who could have imagined that a woman like that would be forced by some lousy man, and would even give birth to his child afterward?

However, after Zhong Ci gave birth and returned to the sect, her cultivation began advancing by leaps and bounds. In a very short time, she had already reached the Transcendent Realm—something he had never expected.

“Jiang Cisui, let’s work together and defeat that guardian.”

As Tian Yunchu spoke, she looked at Xu Mu and Yan Jingqiu beside him. “You can help as well. Breaking through this place is simple: defeat the guardian.”

Xu Mu could not help laughing when he heard that. It had been a long time since he had encountered such a straightforward formation.

As long as they defeated the other side, they could enter.

He walked over and asked, “You’re from the Holy Light Clan. Did you come here alone this time?”

After saying this, Xu Mu could not help touching his neck.

Why had even his voice turned into a woman’s?

“What are you asking that for?” Tian Yunchu asked with a slight frown.

“What I want to know is whether this is the only route. My companions couldn’t possibly still not have arrived.”

Xu Mu continued speaking.

Yun Yao began to ponder. Could this person really be Zhong Ci?

The companion she had mentioned should be him.

“There isn’t only one route. I thought of the same thing after arriving here yesterday,” Tian Yunchu replied. “My companion is stronger than I am, yet he hasn’t arrived. This formation must have separated us.”

Xu Mu nodded inwardly. If that was the case, then it made sense.

Chen Xuan and the others must have been transferred to another area. Otherwise, they would have arrived long ago.

“To prevent you from suspecting me, I’ll make the first move. We’ve already wasted an entire day here. The others may have passed through this formation long ago!”

As Tian Yunchu spoke, she leaped into the air and flew toward the cave in the distance.

The moment she entered its range, the golden-armored man raised his sword and shield and charged at her.

Boom!

The forces of both sides collided, unleashing a terrifying storm that spread in every direction.

The other mixed-bloods gathered there immediately fled into the distance.

Even so, they were still blasted away.

These mixed-bloods were not very strong. Of the dozen or so people, only two had reached the Transcendent Realm—one in the mid stage and one in the early stage.

The rest were only at the Grandmaster Realm, making them practically useless here.

Naturally, Tian Yunchu was sent flying as well.

The aura radiating from the armored man was roughly equivalent to the seventh or eighth tier.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yao suddenly flashed forward. His target was not the armored man, but the cave entrance in the distance.

Taking advantage of Tian Yunchu and the armored man being locked in battle, he had already arrived at the golden gate blocking the entrance.

Boom!

He drew his sword and slashed at the gate.

A massive crescent-shaped sword arc struck the door with pinpoint accuracy, and the resulting impact shook the earth and mountains.

Yet despite this, the gate remained completely undamaged.

“Give it up. I already tried the method you’re thinking of. Without dealing with this armored man, we can’t get inside.”

Tian Yunchu flew into the air in the distance and called out to Yun Yao.

Seeing this, Yun Yao had no choice but to charge at the armored man.

Yan Jingqiu followed and stepped into the area. “Draw its attention!”

As he spoke, he raised both hands. Flames ignited around his body, then gathered continuously above his head.

Xu Mu carefully observed Yan Jingqiu’s technique and discovered that it bore some resemblance to the final spark technique. Both involved gathering power.

The only difference was that Yan Jingqiu’s technique was far too slow.

If they were still on the Martial Contest arena, he would continue to be utterly crushed by someone like Yun Yao.

While he was gathering his strength, someone like Yun Yao could have defeated him countless times already.

However, in the current situation, this happened to be useful, because the guardian did not seem to possess much intelligence.

Swish, swish, swish!

Yun Yao and Tian Yunchu continued attacking the armored man, but the armored man acted as though nothing had happened, completely ignoring their attacks.

Bang!

The two swords clashed, and the air erupted with a thunderous boom. Yun Yao felt as though his arm were about to break, and he was instantly sent flying backward.

Whoosh!

The armored man charged at Tian Yunchu again. As a Boundary-Breaker, Tian Yunchu immediately dodged, then swept her sword toward the armored man’s neck.

Sparks flew everywhere, but the attack still failed to cause any real damage.

“It’s ready!”

By then, a colossal fireball ten meters in diameter had gathered above Yan Jingqiu’s head.

Its shape resembled a gigantic burning cauldron.

“Go!”

The enormous fireball crashed toward the armored man.

Seeing this, Tian Yunchu was just about to flee when she discovered that the armored man had thrown his shield at her. It slammed into her chest.

Whoosh!

The armored man lunged forward and grabbed Tian Yunchu by the neck.

“Damn it!”

Looking at the incoming fireball, Tian Yunchu could only unleash her power to its absolute limit.

Boom!

The fireball struck the area and exploded in an instant. The flames transformed into a whirlwind and spread out more than a hundred meters in every direction.

The flames shot into the sky, and the terrifying storm even blasted Yan Jingqiu himself away.

Tian Yunchu had not expected the attack to be so powerful. Although Yan Jingqiu was only at the peak of the mid Transcendent stage, the power of this technique had actually broken through her defenses.

After taking this attack head-on, she would be lucky to survive without suffering severe injuries.

Just as Tian Yunchu was at a loss, she suddenly noticed a woman appear in front of her.

It was Xu Mu.

Xu Mu had no choice. Who told him that this woman was the female protagonist?

He activated the Devouring Spirit Saint Gu, enveloping Tian Yunchu, then cleaved through the armored man with a single stroke of his red sword.

Tian Yunchu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Once the armored man disappeared, the cave entrance in the distance opened as well. Xu Mu immediately walked inside.

He bathed in the flames, whose destructive power was extraordinarily intense.

Once the flames had nearly lost their power, the dark-golden glow surrounding her finally flowed down to the ground and entered Xu Mu’s body.

“Wait, big sister!”

Tian Yunchu hurried after her.

In the end, the two of them were the first to enter the cave.

[Favorability +5]

“Big sister, thank you for saving me.”

Tian Yunchu’s eyes were filled with admiration. The armored man she had been completely unable to defeat had been cleaved apart by the beautiful woman before her with a single stroke of her sword.

And on top of that, she was so beautiful and so well-endowed—she was practically perfect.

“You’re welcome.”

Xu Mu waved lightly and continued deeper into the cave.

“Big sister, since you’ve already saved me, could you help me one more time?”

Tian Yunchu asked shyly.
