This scene deeply pierced his heart. He was of course unaware of the true relationship between Yun Chuan and Dongfang Yue, but this scene caused him unbearable pain.

If... if she hadn't died back then...

Why did all this have to happen to me?!

Why can these people enjoy the company of their lovers while embarking on the path to immortality, while I have to kill my parents and her with my own hands?!

This is not fair!

At this moment, a raging fire burned in Li Chengxiao's eyes. Jealousy and a certain regret made his expression ferocious and ugly, and the murderous intent in his heart gradually boiled over.

I will also make you taste the pain of losing your lover!

At this thought, a surge of killing intent boiled within his chest, making it impossible for him to maintain his already fragile composure.

And so, what happened next was that slash filled with boiling killing intent, which was about to cut Dongfang Yue and the golden core in her dantian in half!

Chapter 752 A Cuddle on the Chest

The incident happened suddenly, and the opponent's cultivation level was clearly far superior to hers. In an instant, Dongfang Yue's pupils contracted to the size of pinholes, but she had no time to react at all!

The sudden sense of impending death gripped her heart, almost causing her to stop breathing.

In that critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, scooping her up in his arms—

laugh--

Almost simultaneously, the deadly blade struck the body of the person who had been holding her. Their flesh and bones were instantly destroyed, and crimson blood gushed out!

The warm blood splashed on Dongfang Yue's cheek, and she came to her senses slightly. When she looked up, she found that it was Yun Chu'an who was holding her.

At this moment, his once handsome and sunny face was now contorted with pain and ferocity. His entire body had been cut in half at the waist, and large amounts of blood were gushing out from the cut.

This man actually withstood such a fatal blow from the enemy in order to save himself!

In that instant, Dongfang Yue felt her heart stop beating. Tears of emotion almost spilled from her eyes—

Then, another figure suddenly snatched her body from Yun Chu'an's arms and carried her away at breakneck speed: "Go!"

Meanwhile, Yun Chuan's body plummeted downwards, like an out-of-control corpse, unnoticed by anyone.

Dongfang Yue was stunned for a moment, then realized that the person who was carrying her away was actually Yun Chu'an!

Wait, there are two Yun Chu'an?

Her mind went blank for a moment, then she guessed the key point: "One of them is your clone?" (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

"Yes!"

Yun Chu'an nodded, sparing with his words. Just now, he had urgently activated "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," consuming double his spiritual power to create only one clone, which was enough to narrowly block this deadly attack for her at the critical moment.

However, "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" is a spell that consumes a lot of energy. After he did it, he immediately used up most of his spiritual energy reserves.

He had no idea what the other side was up to, and besides, the original plan was to lure the enemy deep into his territory; revealing his strength too early would only alert them.

Therefore, without hesitation, he picked up Dongfang Yue and ran, heading towards the depths of the secret realm where they had set up an ambush.

He didn't say much, but simply held her delicate body and increased his speed to the maximum. Dongfang Yue nestled against his chest, her little heart pounding wildly.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether her heart was pounding wildly because of the terrifying life-or-death crisis she had just faced, or...

I'm jumping for the man who's holding me, his chest so strong and warm.

Dongfang Yue's face flushed crimson, and she felt her heart flutter. She didn't want to think for a moment, lost in the moment, nestled in his embrace, unwilling to move.

Strangely, at least for this moment, no one came to disturb her peaceful haven.

At the very least, the person who had just attacked her did not chase after her.

In the distance, Li Chengxiao watched as the two transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished without a trace in an instant. In that instant, he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

He realized he had acted impulsively, made a mistake, and thus exposed his whereabouts. And most importantly...

I even messed up!

He tried to sneak up on the girl, but her boyfriend blocked it!

Now...

A surge of anger burned within him. He could almost picture how grateful and fond the girl would be after being saved by that man, how hopelessly in love she would fall for him, how she would dote on him in every way, and how she would spoil him in every way possible…

Just like his beloved wife, with whom he had grown up together, but who was ultimately killed by his own hands, before she died!

The thought of this almost destroyed his will. His fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, nearly drawing blood.

This was also his true feeling at the moment. He was tormented by his own reasoning, and his heart was bleeding with jealousy!

But at that moment, two male voices came from behind: "Master!"

Two men approached from the left and right, their eyes filled with fanaticism as they looked at Li Chengxiao: "The leader is all-powerful and his magic is boundless!"

Li Chengxiao glanced at the two of them warily. He was deeply wary of his followers, after all, they were all selfish and evil cultivators, and it was normal for them to have ulterior motives.

Li Chengxiao's idea was to portray himself as a mysterious and unfathomable figure to intimidate them and make them believe that following him was the most promising path.

In this way, there will be no betrayal.

But because of this, he absolutely cannot let these people know that he suddenly changed his cautious style of the past few days and suddenly took action because he recalled the childhood sweetheart he had killed with his own hands, regretted it, was jealous, and lost control to make this decision!

We must make them believe that all of this was premeditated and that they were fully aware of it!

"The time has come!"

He said in a deep voice, "After my detailed investigation over this period of time, I have determined that this group is not a threat."

"This is their weakest point in defense. You all, follow me quickly and charge towards the location of the 'Xuanhuang Mother Beast' to wipe them out and capture this demonic beast!"

He spoke in a deep voice, which immediately drew cheers from one of them. Their Ruthless Sect had been holding back for far too long; now, the final battle was finally about to begin!

The other person frowned, pondered for a moment, then a thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly said, "Your Excellency is wise! But that person just now seemed to be... Yun Chu'an?"

Li Chengxiao frowned: "Yun Chu'an? Who is that?"

Back in Sheng Xuanren's secret realm, he had never fought Yun Chuan. After all, he was rescued by his master, the evil monk, after being severely injured by Su Youling, and he had no idea of ​​Yun Chuan's true combat strength.

After all, the subsequent publicity was mainly carried out by the Yellow River Dragon Clan. The news that "the Yellow River Dragon Son and Yan Shui Yi joined forces to fight against the extraterrestrial demons" spread throughout the Central Plains. However, only a few people who had been paying close attention to the Qin-Zhao battlefield knew about the inside story of "Yun Chu'an".

Seeing that their leader didn't know him, the ruthless cult member quickly introduced him: "Yun Chu'an is quite the star. He shone brightly on the Qin-Zhao battlefield, defeating several late-stage Golden Core cultivators with only mid-stage Golden Core strength..."

"From what I observed just now, his spiritual energy fluctuations seem to have reached the late Golden Core stage, making him extremely powerful. But when he saw you, he turned and left. Could it be... a trap behind him?"

He made the suggestion so cautiously, but his words only fueled Li Chengxiao's irritation: "How come these days any Tom, Dick, or Harry can challenge people above their level? A Golden Core cultivator thinks he can beat me at the Nascent Soul stage? Huh? Geniuses are everywhere, and Heavenly Spiritual Roots are as worthless as dogs, huh?"

The cult member quickly shut up, but Li Chengxiao was still not satisfied. He growled to vent his negative emotions: "Let me tell you! These so-called prodigies who shine on the battlefield and geniuses who can defeat opponents of higher levels are all just boasts from powerful families!"

"They're all just for show, like bubbles that burst at the slightest touch! If you believe in these things and become timid and hesitant, what's the point of pursuing spiritual practice? Go home and raise pigs!"

After he launched into such a tirade, the ruthless sect cultivator tried to refute him, saying that Yun Chu'an was not like that, that he was not from a noble family, and that he was truly capable, unlike those who were all show and no substance.

Seeing his leader's cold gaze, the follower wisely chose to remain silent, then nodded and praised, "Your subordinate is foolish, Your Excellency is wise!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengxiao snorted coldly and said no more. He turned to look into the distance and said, "Because of you, how much precious time have we wasted! I order you to lead the way. Go now, straight to the location of that monster, and kill it!"

Although he tried to convince his followers, Lee Sung-hyo knew very well that this decision was made hastily to cover up his mistake, and he was also unaware of the extent of the defenses along this route.

Therefore, he had to let his followers go first, clearing the way for him, and then he would follow behind, waiting for the opportunity to reap the rewards.

Chapter 753 The three of us are amazing!

Other believers swarmed around him, following behind Li Chengxiao as they moved forward.

Meanwhile, at this moment, in the sealed area of ​​the Xuanhuang Mother Beast.

Holding Dongfang Yue's delicate body, Yun Chu'an transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and sped over, quickly landing next to Su Youling, which was beside the enormous Xuanhuang Mother Beast: "The 'Ruthless Sect' has attacked us!"

He said in a deep voice, and only then did Dongfang Yue belatedly realize that she was still being held in his arms. (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

Her face flushed red, and she quickly wriggled out of his embrace, trying to remain calm, and said, "This is a rare occurrence. The other side may launch a full-scale attack soon, so be prepared!"

Yan Shui rushed over upon hearing the news and witnessed her junior sister jumping out of her man's arms. She was somewhat puzzled as to when their relationship had become so intimate, but these doubts were quickly dispelled by Dongfang Yue's words.

Now is not the time to worry about such trivial matters.

Her expression was serious, and she nodded solemnly. Su Youling, who had been maintaining the seal, was also overjoyed. She quickly nodded, made way for Zuo Qian, and created the illusion that they were still working hard to seal the Xuanhuang Mother Beast, but with little success.

She herself, along with Yan Shuiyi, Yun Chuan, and others, each used their own magic to hide themselves in the vast yellow sand, using the spiritual power of earth as a cover to conceal their figures.

To be honest, Dongfang Yue's reasoning did not involve much rigorous deduction, and the process can be said to have some errors.

However, her opponent also had many additional reasons to justify making some less-than-rational decisions.

So this time, although the process of the alarm was wrong, the result was correct.

The ruthless cult has truly arrived.

Several figures streaked through the air, heading straight for this spot. They wore no distinctive clothing, unlike the Qin army which always wore their iconic armor, so no one knew their identities.

Of course, on the scene, the insurgents knew that these people did not belong to them, so they could guess that these people belonged to the Ruthless Cult.

The Ruthless Sect, true to its evil and demonic nature, attacked without warning upon meeting them. Zuo Qian, as the apparent commander of the operation, remained calm and quickly assessed that they were no match for them, ordering a retreat.

The rebels had rehearsed this scene for a long time. Gu Jian and Gu Yu, the siblings, also spoke up, calling out to their comrades, and carried out the evacuation in an orderly manner.

The Ruthless Cult is inherently cruel, and once they take action, they have no habit of leaving anyone alive. Even though there is little need to pursue them now, they still specially set aside a team to chase after the rebels who had retreated.

Li Chengxiao then walked up to the enormous Xuanhuang Mother Beast, looking at the still roaring monster with a suspicious expression on his face.

Is it... going too smoothly?

Am I having a lucky day?

Or... was my decision truly brilliant?

"Roar--!"

Before he could come to a conclusion, a near-deafening roar suddenly erupted before him. Li Chengxiao snapped back to reality and saw the enormous Xuanhuang Mother Beast roaring, about to smash through the cage that imprisoned him.

Its massive horn, resembling that of a rhinoceros, gleamed with an earthy yellow light, carrying immense power. With a low roar, the behemoth charged forward, crashing into a semi-transparent sealing barrier in an instant, causing the earth to tremble and the sealing barrier to teeter on the brink of collapse.

Seeing that its charge was ineffective, it let out a low growl, whirled around, and swung its massive, flail-like tail, the flail at its end gleaming with a low, yellow light, before slamming it into the barrier once more.

Boom——

The earth trembled again. At this moment, Li Chengxiao seemed to be able to sense that tiny, imperceptible cracks had begun to appear on the massive barrier in front of him.

In fact, ever since Su Youling ended the seal and Zuo Qian took over, the seal had already been on the verge of collapse. But Li Chengxiao was unaware of this. Looking at the seal in front of him and the enormous creature inside, he immediately cursed them as useless. These rebels were clearly so weak that they couldn't possibly maintain such a strong seal, yet they still wanted to subdue this monster. They were truly overestimating themselves.

He cursed inwardly for a moment, then a greedy smile crept onto his lips.

Now that they've been driven away, this monster belongs to me.

"Water, fire, wind, and thunder, heed my command!"

He shouted and unleashed both hands, unleashing blue, red, cyan, and purple spiritual energy that soared into the sky, intertwining and swirling to form a massive cage, intending to imprison the Xuanhuang Mother Beast within.

Of course, these alone are far from enough. Faced with this energetic behemoth, no one is willing to confront its charge head-on.

However, Lee Sung-hyo had already prepared for this.

To be precise, it was his master who had prepared things for him long ago.

"rise--"

He then shouted again, and four square magic seals of different colors shot into the sky, shining with dazzling light. They then fell from all sides, crashing heavily onto the enormous creature before him.

"Roar--"

The four great seals were incredibly powerful, comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator's desperate, all-out attack. Moreover, they were based on four different elements. In an instant, the four different forces blasted into the body of this behemoth, tearing its body apart and instantly plunging it into a near-death experience!

If the occasion, environment, and timing are right, even the lightning element, which is countered by the earth element, can be fatally damaged.

"hehe--"

Seeing the pitiful state of the giant beast before him, Li Chengxiao let out a smug smile. Then, the enormous cage he wove with his hands using four-colored elemental spiritual energy began to contract, preparing to completely subdue the behemoth before him!

From the shadows, Su Youling was stunned by the technique he had just used. A wave of fear washed over her; she couldn't imagine the severe consequences if that attack had landed on her.

This is definitely not a magic weapon he made himself; it must have been given to him by that evil monk who was his backer!

However, seeing that the opponent has used their magic seal, they probably won't attack again anytime soon, so...

It's time for us to make our move!

With this thought in mind, without further delay, the girl waved her hand sharply, signaling, "Let's go!"

In the center, Lee Sung-hyo, who was casting his spell, suddenly felt a tremendous sense of crisis gripping his heart.

He didn't know what was happening, and in his haste, he only managed to growl, "Protect me—"
