If I stay in the Hehuan Sect, I'll live off the pampered daughters of the Heavenly Pride Sect.

A narrow sliver of sky.

The canyon is as narrow as if it were cut by a knife and axe, with towering cliffs on both sides that squeeze the sky into a thin, bright line.

Su Qingying stumbled in, leaving a bloody footprint of varying depth with each step.

She leaned against the cold stone wall, panting heavily, her body sliding down.

Her vital energy was already depleted, and the toxins surging through her meridians and the excruciating pain from the backlash of the secret technique were tearing at her last shred of sanity.

Her snow-white long dress was tattered and stained with blood and dust, clinging tightly to her curvaceous figure.

That stunningly beautiful face was flushed an unnatural red, and sweat soaked her temples.

This completely shattered her aloof and unapproachable demeanor, leaving only a heart-wrenching vulnerability and helplessness.

"Hehehe..."

A lingering, lewd laugh echoed from the mouth of the canyon.

Du Jingxing, along with two henchmen, blocked the only exit.

He followed the trail of blood on the ground, walking step by step, his eyes filled with undisguised greed and possessiveness, as if admiring his most perfect prey.

"Su Qingying, are you going to run away again?"

Du Jingxing grinned maliciously, his voice echoing through the narrow canyon, sounding particularly grating.

"Look at you now, it's really exciting!"

"Today, I'm going to show you what regret really means! I'll make you kneel down and beg me!"

Despair, like icy seawater, completely overwhelmed Su Qingying.

She bit her pale lips tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, trying to use the pain to rouse a sliver of strength, but it was all in vain.

She would rather die than suffer such humiliation!

Just as Su Qingying was about to bite down on the poison pill hidden between her teeth and perish together with these people.

A calm, somewhat lazy voice suddenly came from a hidden cave nearby.

"Hey guys, what are you doing filming here in broad daylight?"

"Can't you come up with something fresh in the dialogue? I'm sick of hearing it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, slender man wearing an ordinary bronze mask slowly emerged from the shadows.

He dusted himself off, looking exactly like an ordinary disciple who had just finished his seclusion and was stretching.

This sudden turn of events left both Du Jingxing and Su Qingying stunned.

The sinister smile on Du Jingxing's face froze instantly, turning into furious rage.

"Who the hell came from, daring to meddle in my business?"

His eyes were bloodshot, and the manic emotions catalyzed by the drugs found a new outlet.

"If you know what's good for you, get the hell out of here! Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't move an inch in this trial!"

Mo Chengyue completely ignored him.

His gaze passed over the furious Du Jingxing and landed on the desperate woman on the ground.

Tsk tsk, what a ravaged snow lotus! The brokenness, the helpless little eyes, it's so pitiful.

Su Qingying saw him at that instant as well.

Those beautiful eyes, which had previously dimmed, suddenly burst forth with a light of survival.

As if grasping at the last straw, she used all her strength to utter a trembling plea.

"Senior brother...please, save me..."

"If you can save me from danger, I... will give you anything!"

The voice was broken, mournful, and carried a deadly allure.

Mo Chengyue laughed wildly in his heart.

That's exactly what I wanted!

Brother, your "I'll give you everything" was simply heavenly music!

"Damn it! You still dare to look!"

When Du Jingxing saw Mo Chengyue's gaze fall on Su Qingying, he was consumed by jealousy and completely lost his mind.

"You shameless bastard! Get him! Cripple him!"

He roared and was the first to charge forward, the blade in his hand flashing with spiritual light, his sinister blade technique aimed straight for Mo Chengyue's face!

The two lackeys chuckled and flanked Mo Chengyue from both sides, blocking all his escape routes.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle."

Mo Chengyue sighed, lightly stepped back, and seemingly dodged the first wave of attacks in a disheveled manner.

A chaotic battle ensued.

Mo Chengyue was forced to accept the challenge.

He appeared somewhat overwhelmed by the three attackers, constantly using his agility to dodge and weave through the narrow canyon.

Du Jingxing was, after all, in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and with the stimulation of the drugs, his offensive was extremely ferocious.

Every move was powerful and sweeping, aimed at killing Mo Chengyue.

"You little brat! You're dead meat! How dare you ruin my plans!"

Mo Chengyue remained silent, only parrying and dodging.

His swordsmanship was ordinary, even somewhat clumsy.

Every now and then, he would add a few minor, painless wounds to his body, making it seem like he was in the middle of a tough battle.

Su Qingying, lying on the ground, was extremely anxious, her heart pounding in her throat.

But she didn't see that in each seemingly perilous encounter, Mo Chengyue's fingertips were...

Or perhaps it was the edge of a sword that would "inadvertently" leave irregular scars on Du Jingxing's body.

These scars are shallow, yet they possess a peculiar rhythm.

One, two, three...

These wounds, some like scratches from flying birds, others like ripples on flowing water, were completely ignored by Du Jingxing during his frenzied attack.

He felt that the masked man in front of him was as slippery as an eel, and he couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard he tried, which made him increasingly agitated.

Mo Chengyue remained as calm as a rock.

"Three inches outside the left arm, one more stroke, hmm, the Tian Shu position is complete."

"The defensive midfield position is good, let's get a Tianxuan position."

"Very good, the Big Dipper array pattern is almost complete."

He appeared to be fighting hard, but in reality, he was using his movement techniques and moves silently during the battle.

They inscribed array patterns onto Du Jingxing's "mobile canvas".

As he moved, the entire First Line Sky Canyon was connected into a huge and invisible complex formation.

The core of its formation was none other than Du Jingxing himself, who was enraged but unaware of his own rage!

"That's about it."

Mo Chengyue estimated the time in his mind, looked at the "completed" masterpiece on Du Jingxing's body, and decided to close the net.

"The game is over."

Just as Du Jingxing lunged at him again, Mo Chengyue stopped dodging.

Instead of retreating, he advanced and pointed a finger precisely at an inconspicuous wound that had just been cut open on Du Jingxing's chest!

hum!

A blue halo suddenly burst out from beneath Du Jingxing's feet!

Several dark blue light curtains instantly rose from the ground, forming a solid defensive barrier that instantly repelled Du Jingxing and his two lackeys!

"What the hell is that?!"

Du Jingxing was so shocked that his blood and qi surged, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Before he could react, Mo Chengyue's attacks came one after another.

His speed suddenly increased dramatically, and his figure became so fast that he was just a blur.

Du Jingxing and his two companions launched a frenzied attack, using all their magic and fists.

But everything was blocked by that eerie blue light barrier, and he couldn't even touch the hem of Mo Chengyue's clothes.

"How could this happen!"

Fear began to spread in their hearts.

They felt their spiritual energy draining away at an alarming rate, being frantically sucked away by the earth beneath their feet!

This is the activation of a magic array that weakens spiritual power!

"No! Impossible!"

Du Jingxing was terrified. He frantically channeled his spiritual power, trying to break free from this bizarre situation.

However, the scene before them suddenly distorted.

Mo Chengyue, wearing a mask, disappeared.

Instead, countless evil spirits crawled out from the ground, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on them.

The illusion array has also been activated.

"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here!"

Du Jingxing and his two lackeys went completely mad, attacking the air indiscriminately, their minds clouded.

The farce ends here.

Mo Chengyue reappeared, his eyes cold.

He appeared behind the three of them with lightning speed and overwhelming force.

Hand rises, palm falls.

Click! Click! Click!

Three crisp cracking sounds rang out.

The trial tokens at the waists of the three people shattered instantly.

The three of them froze abruptly, the madness and illusion in their eyes fading, leaving only endless fear and astonishment.

Three enormous beams of light descended from the sky and enveloped them.

These are the sect rules: if the token is broken, the trial is failed, and you will be immediately teleported out!

"No--!"

Du Jingxing let out a roar of resentment.

However, just as his body was being drawn up by the beam of light and began to become transparent...

hum!

A barely perceptible streak of light flew out from Du Jingxing's dissipating body and instantly disappeared into a boulder with fine engravings on the canyon wall.

The key point of the formation has been successfully transferred!

next second.

boom!

The entire First Line Sky Canyon was instantly ignited by a violent surge of spiritual energy!

Intense white light engulfed everything.

An extremely rich and sweet aroma instantly enveloped the entire canyon with the shockwave of the explosion.

"not good……"

Su Qingying was already powerless to resist, and the moment she inhaled the fragrance, her last shred of clarity vanished completely.

Mo Chengyue, who was also affected, swayed and staggered to the ground beside her.
