Looking at the people of the Loner Demon Sect who were flying towards him, Jiang Lin felt as though tens of thousands of alpacas were running inside his heart, although he was also a member of a demon sect…
And just when the tip of a sword was three body lengths away from Jiang Lin, sword qi that rushed down from the sky suddenly cascaded down like a waterfall, blocking off those from Loner Demon Sect from Jiang Lin, and also disheveling Jiang Lin's hair…
The woman stood with her sword, and although she brought a muli to cover her whole head, looking at her familiar figure and long sword, Jiang Lin recognized her as the girl who had been… slighted that night… No, not right, she was the girl he took advantage of… Xiao Xueli.
'Wait…'
Since she had come to the mystic realm, that meant she had to have known that Jiang Yida was him. After all, he had saved her that night with that fake skin, and then disguised himself as the River King, and used his Q skill on her like crazy.
Suddenly, Jiang Lin's head broke out in a cold sweat…
"Lady Xiao, I…"
"I'll hear your quibbles after I kill these people!" the girl said coldly, and in Jiang Lin's mind [Infamy from protagonist Xiao Xueli +20 +30 +50…] appeared, and it kept increasing…
Although Jiang Lin was happy to have the Infamy go into his account, he felt timid inside.
Every sword cultivator who entered the Immortal Abode Tier had their own life-bound flying sword, which was born and bred, and was equivalent to a sword cultivator's exclusive ID card.
Xiao Xue Li's natal flying sword was named Pear Blossom. Its body was light yellow and slender, just like a slim woman wearing a long pear blossom dress, and the pattern on the sword was even like a woman's red makeup.
"Flying sword Pear Blossom? Xiao Xueli?"
Recognizing the longsword, the leader of the black men licked his lips.
"It is said that Xiao Xueli, the last disciple of the Unfettered Sect, has a beautiful figure. Seeing it today, just by looking at her body, it is really true! Xiao Xueli, hand over the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns sword manual, and then accompany this villain for a moment of springtime. I can report to the headquarters that you are dead. Otherwise, where do you think you can escape to?"
"This man, you shall not touch," Xuiao Xueli answered what was not asked.
"Oh? It seems that Little Brother Jiang Lin has done well in his line of picking flowers; he even captured Lady Xiao's heart, but, Xiao Xueli, even if we are in the same tier, do you think you alone can beat seven of us?
"Xiao Xueli! I'm telling you, not only will you be unable to protect yourself today, but I also want you to watch the man you're trying to protect get killed by us! Brothers! Go!"
With a command, the elites of the Loner Demon Sect rushed up in unison.
The expression in the girl's eyes showed no intention of backing down as she thrust out her sword, the clashing of weapons drifting slowly through the mountains and forests.
The girl danced like a butterfly among the swords, and with each step, the slender longsword always managed to stab at the opponent's vitals.
The people in the Loner Demon Sect were using the Autistic Palm, Autistic Fist, and Autistic Sword Arts. Even though they couldn't effectively inflict damage on Xiao Xueli, it had to be said that these elite disciples of the Loner Demon Sect were indeed powerful.
After a quarter of an hour of fighting, the two sides separated again, Xiao Xueli still guarding Jiang Lin, who had his eyes open and was breaking through his tier, while the other side was also left with only the leader of the seven people.
However, Jiang Lin could feel Xiao Xueli's breathing speed up, while the leader of the black-clothed men was still in a good shape.
In reality, in the fight just now, the leader of the black-clothed men was merely observing on the edge of the battle, and didn't participate in the battle at all.
He seemed to be wanting to have Xiao Xueli all to himself.
But it didn't matter; Jiang Lin already felt that the Sea Gazing Realm was near. It seemed that he was lucky, and as long as Lady Xiao held on for another quarter of an hour, he would definitely be able to break through his tier.
[Ding… detected the host's current environment, quest triggered.]
[Choice: 1. Now that Xiao Xueli is defenseless against you, please be gracious and stab Xiao Xueli in the back. 2. Take out and loot the man in black, insult the Loner Demon Sect, and trigger the long-term quest—Villains Devouring Villains!]
[Quest reward: 3000 Infamy, a box of Nine Flavor Rehmanni Pills (strengthens the kidneys and invigorates qi)]
[Please make your choice in three seconds: 3… 2…]
"System, I'm still f*cking making a breakthrough!"
Just as Jiang Lin was about to break through his tier, the system's voice reappeared within his mind.
Boom!
A loud bang spread through the mountains.
Pu…
Immediately after that, Jiang Lin, behind Xiao Xueli, spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Jiang Yida!"
Seeing Jiang Lin cover his chest and force himself to stand up, Xiao Xueli had shock, disbelief, and a little bit of anger in her eyes.
"Lady Xiao…"
Jiang Lin smiled as blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and in the very next second, Jiang Lin fell forward.
Putting down the longsword in her hand, the girl flew with the tap of her small feet, and held Jiang Lin in her arms.
"Do you know what you're doing? Why did you give up on breaking through your tier!? Do you know how much it hurts your dao root to do so?"
"Cough, cough, cough… I know that…" Leaning against the girl's soft figure, Jiang Lin weakly said, "But I know better than to let Lady Xiao face danger."
"Idiot! You big idiot!" said the girl, with a vague cry in her tone.
"Perhaps, that's true." Jiang Lin gently brushed the girl's long hair behind her ears. "But, for me, the so-called Sea Gazing Tier, the so-called root of the Great Dao, none of it is a millionth as good as the girl beside me."
"What… are you talking about…" said the girl under the muli, her pretty face slightly flushed.
"Lady Xiao…"
Jiang Lin held the girl's soft and tender small hand. The girl trembled under his touch, and the scarlet under the muli had already spread to the root of her ears. The girl resisted a little, wanting to draw out her hands, but seeing Jiang Lin so weak and his deeply affectionate eyes, the girl gave up resisting…
"Lady Xiao, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, I am a flower picker, but none of that matters! I only hope that in Lady Xiao's eyes, I am just a three-good youngster; I am just… Jiang Yida…"
"Jiang Yida, stop talking and protect your heart channel," said the girl, almost in tears, shaking her head.
"No! Lady Xiao, hurry up and go! I'll die with this man if I have to exchange a lifetime of safety for you…"
Free from the girl's warm embrace, Jiang Lin breathed in as if it were his last breath, and held out his sword in front of him.
"No! Jiang Yida! I'm not going! We'll go together!"
"Go!"
"I won't!"
"Go!"
"I'm not leaving!"
The black-clothed man looked at the scene before him, and just felt as though he was being slapped by a public display of affection.
'Why? Obviously, we're both in demon sects, and I'm also one of the elites of the Loner Demon Sect, but why can you get so intimate with a girl! Is it just because you're more handsome than me?!'
"I'm done!"
Suddenly, the black-clothed man's clothes burst, his body became three times larger, and his whole body glowed green like the Hulk.
"Repulsive couple, you're all going to die!"
