I speedrunned the Fairy Strategy Game

Apart from the severed pulse and remaining traces.

The teleportation array flickered and appeared.

The cultivators from various sects surged out, looking disheveled and exhausted, all with expressions of relief as if they had survived a calamity.

"We're out! We finally escaped!!"

Pei Yourong's almond-shaped eyes swept anxiously across the crowd, then suddenly fixed on a spot, and she abruptly landed.

Seeing Xie Chenghuan holding the unconscious Gu Qingxue, she gently raised her hand and slowly channeled a stream of gentle true energy into her body.

Almost simultaneously, Xue Baining's figure also quietly appeared.

Xie Chenghuan parted her red lips slightly: "She's fine, she was just knocked unconscious by Li Muyu."

"Where's Mu'er?" Pei Yourong suddenly looked up. "Why didn't he come out?"

Xie Chenghuan lowered her eyes, a rare solemnity appearing on her alluring face, her tone low and somber.

"The teleportation array has been blocked by a half-step Celestial Realm dragon demon. To buy us a chance to survive, Li Muyu has chosen to stay behind alone to cover our retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell into an instant silence!

"How could someone at the half-step Celestial Realm possess such cultivation?!"

The elder in charge of law enforcement looked at the disciples of the Southern Immortal Sect with a questioning gaze, while everyone else hung their heads in dejection.

Marquis Shen clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles cracked, his eyes slightly red with anger, and said in a deep voice.

"Xu Zhengyang colluded with the Jiao Clan of Chunjiang Prefecture to awaken the remains of a Jiao Clan member who was half a step into the Celestial Realm within the ruins. The Jiao Clan member guarded the teleportation array and devoured the lifeblood of cultivators."

"It was Junior Brother Li... who single-handedly blocked it!"

The disciples from various sects stood by, all with solemn expressions. Even those who had only met the handsome disciple once felt deep respect for him.

The elder in charge of law enforcement's expression changed drastically: "A dragon corpse that's half a step into the Celestial Realm?! Even with its cultivation level reduced, it's still far beyond the capabilities of ordinary cultivators!"

Before the words were finished—

A bone-chilling cold instantly spread, as if winter was approaching, and the air within a radius of dozens of feet seemed to freeze.

"What a formidable dragon clan of Chunjiang Prefecture!"

"How dare you!"

Xue Baining slowly raised her eyes, her usually cold and languid eyes now filled with an intensely pure killing intent.

Sa—

The giant claw, covered in dragon scales, resembled a drawn blade, sweeping down from above Li Muyu's head with a powerful gust of wind.

Li Muyu raised his arms to defend himself, his consciousness palace shone brightly, his bones jingled like gold and jade, and his blood surged like waves.

However, when facing a dragon corpse at the half-step Celestial Realm, the gap between the two was like a chasm. Even if they tried their best, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

With a "poof" sound,

As Jiao Lin tore it apart with a claw, the golden light protecting Li Muyu's chest shattered, revealing blood, flesh, and bones.

Li Muyu grunted and retreated rapidly. At the same time, a black longsword suddenly appeared, its light like a black lightning bolt, and he slashed down on Jiao Lin's neck.

clang--

A piercing metallic clang rang out, sending sparks flying. The once invincible Thunderfire Sword could only leave a shallow mark on the dark blue scales.

"sucker Punch!"

Jiao Lin grinned maliciously, and his thick dragon tail, as if carrying immense force, lashed out at Li Muyu's waist!

boom--!

Li Muyu flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing through several layers of rock walls before finally landing on a pile of rubble.

Jiao Lin hovered in mid-air, his vertical pupils full of mockery, his tongue lightly licking the bloodstains on his sharp claws, his hoarse voice filled with amusement.

"Do you now realize the gap between us?"

Li Muyu struggled to his feet, his clothes already reduced to tattered rags, his entire body covered in blood. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his gaze grew even more sharp.

He still had a trump card up his sleeve: the jade pendant given to him by Xue Baining!

It is a truly divine technique, but the opportunity is only once, and we must first deplete his vital energy as much as possible.

"Heavenly Blood Fiend, rise!"

Li Muyu suddenly made a hand seal.

The gray sky was suddenly dyed a dazzling scarlet red, the blood clouds surged suddenly, and countless scarlet sword energies, solid as a substance, fell down like a torrential rain, carrying a decaying and malevolent aura!

Sizzle

The blood-fiend sword energy struck the dark blue scales, producing a sound like a branding iron hitting water. The indestructible scales visibly turned black and rotted, revealing the writhing flesh beneath!

"roar--"

Jiao Lin let out a heart-wrenching roar. For the first time since merging with the remains of the dragon corpse, his vertical pupils revealed a desire to retreat, wanting to escape from this eerie rain of swords.

But then a blood-red figure suddenly rushed in!

"Trying to leave?!"

Li Muyu's arms were like iron clamps, locking his body tightly from behind. The magic weapon at his waist shone brightly, and a binding formation lit up from beneath his feet.

"You're insane! You're a lunatic!!"

Jiao Feng panicked completely, frantically thrashing his body. His black-scaled claws pierced Li Muyu's waist and abdomen, but he was still unable to break free from his restraints.

Under the crimson rain of blood, Li Muyu's skin and flesh melted away like candles, and then slowly recovered under the healing effect of the formation of an infant in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The intense pain kept stimulating his mind, but he revealed an almost manic smile.

"Now you're scared? You bastard!"

When the last burst of blood-red sword energy was exhausted, the blood-red clouds slowly dissipated.

For miles around, the land was scorched and barren, with not a blade of grass growing. Only a thick, lingering aura of blood remained, and two mangled bodies lay silently on the pool of blood.

"Cough cough..."

Jiao Lin trembled as he got up. Half of his dragon head was corroded by blood evil. His broken arm lifted up the blood shadow next to him. His remaining vertical pupils were full of sinister resentment.

He almost destroyed the remains of this ancestor who was at the half-step Celestial Realm!

"Li Muyu, this ends here!"

But then they saw that the dying figure had a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

"Yes, it's over."

Zheng—

The moment the jade pendant was drawn from the sleeve, the world fell silent!

Xue Baining's sealed Heavenly Strike erupted, shattering the jade tablet, and her domineering true essence transformed into a thin, golden thread.

It entered through the center of the dragon's head and emerged from the back of the head, as easily as threading a needle, piercing through the remains of this celestial being.

Jiao Lin's body suddenly froze, and the light in his only remaining vertical pupil flickered like a candle in the wind.

"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Jiao Lin's face was contorted with rage. As his consciousness faded, black energy surged from his body, transforming into a sinister curse mark that was branded fiercely onto Li Muyu's heart.

The remains of the severed vein entered the mouth.

The light of the teleportation array gradually dimmed, and the space began to distort and close, but Li Muyu's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Pei Yourong made a hand seal, and streams of true energy surged into the formation like a tide, attempting to delay its closure.

Beside her, Xue Baining stepped forward with a cold expression, her five fingers clenching into a fist, and wisps of demonic energy solidified into chains, tearing through the gaps in the array.

Seeing Pei Yourong looking at him, he simply said in a cold voice.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this for you."

The words had barely left his mouth.

But then he heard a disciple call out from behind him.

"Look, someone's coming out!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a bloodied and mangled figure slowly appeared in their field of vision.

"Shepherd!"

Seeing Li Muyu's appearance, Pei Yourong's heart tightened, and she was about to fly forward.

Swah——

A flash of red appeared first, and Xue Baining wrapped her arms around the bloodied and mangled Li Muyu, pulling him into her embrace.
