Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

At this moment, Yu Luoning realized that she had been staring at him for too long, so she pinched herself hard, and her confused mind instantly cleared.

Fortunately, Yu Luoning had memorized the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, and just in case, she silently recited it in her heart.

Just then, Jiang Huang, who was not far away, slightly turned her head.

The moment Yu Luoning was seen clearly, an overwhelming and terrifying pressure swept over them.

Jiang Huang sneered, "I've been looking for you for a long time."

She moved incredibly fast, arriving in front of Yu Luoning in the blink of an eye.

Yu Luoning waved his hand, instantly activating the Transcendent Technique, pulling Bai Rongling back a hundred steps in an instant.

Jiang Huang tilted her head slightly, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes. "You've broken through again. As expected of someone with the Phoenix bloodline. The speed at which your cultivation has advanced is truly beyond expectations."

Yu Luoning remained silent, his expression cold and aloof.

When her gaze fell upon the Immortal-Binding Rope in Jiang Huang's hand, her heart ached terribly.

Those were her treasures! And the black sword, it's probably already in the enemy's hands.

However, both treasures have already recognized their owners and are bound by contracts, making it difficult for the other party to refine them.

But now is definitely not the right time to seize the treasure; survival is the priority.

Yu Luoning resorted to the same trick he used against Shen Jia to deal with Jiang Huang.

The Explosion Talisman, Fire Crow Talisman, and Sky-Crossing Technique were all used against Jiang Huang at once.

In an instant, this small world was filled with a golden and purple light.

When the purple lightning struck Jiang Huang, a black mark appeared on her snow-white sleeve, and Jiang Huang's face turned black.

She glanced sideways at Yu Luoning, her voice cold and stern, exuding divine power, "To be able to injure me, it seems your strength has increased considerably. It's a pity, though. If another hundred years pass, you might catch up to my cultivation level. But an ant is still an ant."

At this moment, Yu Luoning's expression changed slightly.

She can't beat him! She really can't beat him.

She was always very clear about her own abilities, and it was obvious that staying any longer would be pure suicide.

Just as Jiang Huang made her move, a golden sword light swept across like a long moon, slicing through the colliding spiritual energies of the two sides, causing a shockwave that shook the heavens and the earth.

Shen Jia descended from the sky, standing between the two.

Jiang Huang squinted and said, "Are you trying to meddle in other people's business?"

Shen Jia casually untied the hairband from her eyes, twirled the long sword in her hand with her fingertips, and sighed.

"She just gave me a good shock, and I haven't settled that score yet. She's my rival; you can't take her away from me."

Jiang Huang narrowed her eyes. "Looks like you don't want to live anymore!"

On the other side, Yu Luoning fell into a brief silence, but her footwork did not slow down for a moment.

No matter how much they argue, having this blond-haired kid hold Jiang Huang back creates an opportunity for her to escape.

Yu Luoning seized the opportunity, grabbed Bai Rongling's arm, and activated the Transcendent Technique once again.

Just as the two figures disappeared, Jiang Huang sneered, "Trying to leave? Have you asked me first?"

She raised her palm in the air, and a huge purple hand condensed in the void.

As her hand slowly tightened in mid-air, the spatial passage that had just formed on Yu Luoning's side immediately distorted, and her expression changed drastically.

The teleportation technique was forcibly interrupted from the outside, and in an instant, a terrifying turbulence swept the two of them into it. In the midst of the dizzying spin, Yu Luoning held tightly to Bai Rongling's hand.

Just then, a terrifying aura approached from behind; it turned out that Jiang Huang's killing move had broken through space and caught up with them.

Just as Yu Luoning was about to cast her spell, Bai Rongling twisted her wrist violently. In the blink of an eye, her and Bai Rongling's positions were reversed, and the purple palm print slammed into Bai Rongling's back.

Before Yu Luoning could react, a warm liquid splashed all over her face.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Bai Rongling. His life force was rapidly draining away, and he looked as if he had been pulled out of a sea of ​​blood, covered in blood.

The rabbit mask on his face was also broken.

Then he collapsed into Yu Luoning's arms.

Gazing at the divine face so close to hers, Yu Luoning's mind went blank.

Before she could react, a scorching heat, a temperature that seemed capable of burning her very soul, rushed towards her.

Looking down, one sees a stretch of red lava that extends for miles.

The lava was still bubbling and steaming, and she was carrying the unconscious Bai Rongling as she plunged headfirst into the lava.

Holy crap, if this happens, let alone being roasted to a crisp, you'd probably evaporate on the spot and be seen by your grandma.

Yu Luoning quickly threw out the magical artifact from her spatial jade bracelet.

The protective magic treasure immediately emitted a spiritual light, transforming into a cyan spiritual light that enveloped the two of them.

At the last moment before they fell into the lava, a purple circle formed below them, and the next moment, their figures vanished instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Luoning, carrying Bai Rongling, landed heavily on the lava reef.

The surrounding area was still engulfed in a raging sea of ​​fire.

Yu Luoning cursed inwardly. She had clearly set the location to the mountains and forests, so why was the teleportation point still this lava area?

The rocks beneath our feet were scorching hot, with waves of intense heat emanating from them.

Yu Luoning refused to believe it and activated the Transcendent Technique again, pulling Bai Rongling through the air.

A moment later, the two landed on another lava reef.

It seems that this magma zone is an independent sealed domain with strange restrictions that limit spatial teleportation, making it impossible to leave using the Transcendental Technique.

There was no time to think about a solution right now; she quickly helped Bai Rongling up and put an eighth-grade pill into his mouth.

After the medicinal effects had fully dissipated, Bai Rongling's life force was locked in.

However, the person has not yet regained consciousness.

Yu Luoning knelt anxiously on the scorching hot rocks, perhaps influenced by Bai Rongling's face.

At that moment, she felt that the person lying on the ground was the most important person in her life.

Even a ridiculous thought inexplicably arose in my mind.

For him, it seemed she would even risk her life.

hateful.

How could someone as greedy and life-loving as her possibly die for a man?

Yu Luoning jolted awake and quickly recited the Heart-Clearing Mantra three times in her mind, biting her tongue to force herself to stay awake.

Then he quickly took out a handkerchief and covered Bai Rongling's face.

This femme fatale is too sinister; if she continues to watch, she's afraid she might do something monstrous.

It's incredibly hot here right now; the lava is churning, and the heatwave feels like it's going to melt you.

Without thinking twice, Yu Luoning bent down and picked Bai Rongling up in his arms, leaping among the jagged rock pillars and strange rocks.

He then released his divine sense from his Purple Mansion to search for a shady place in the surrounding area.

And she actually found it.

It was a huge cavity left behind by an ancient flow of lava.

The cave entrance is hidden in a rock wall halfway up the mountain, making it extremely concealed from the outside.

Yu Luoning was delighted and used his teleportation technique to send the two of them to the cave.

She first took out the illuminating stone and embedded it in the wall, and then set up several arrays in this place to conceal her presence, provide early warning, and defend against attacks.

Fortunately, there were many good things in the jade bracelet. If it were before, she wouldn't have had so many array plates to squander at will.

Fortunately, the array plate wasn't disposable, otherwise Yu Luoning would have been heartbroken.

She was finally relieved after the entire formation was set up.

The temperature inside the cave was still frighteningly high. After thinking for a moment, Yu Luoning took out a bed of ten-thousand-year-old ice from her spatial jade bracelet.

The moment the ice bed hit the ground, waves of cold air instantly spread in all directions.

However, the temperature inside the previously scorching cave suddenly dropped.

After doing all that, she placed Bai Rongling on the ice bed and fed him a healing pill when the effects of the medicine wore off.

After waiting for a while, Bai Rongling still showed no signs of waking up.

Yu Luoning finally couldn't sit still any longer.

She leaned closer and patted Bai Rongling's face. "Hey, Bai Rongling, don't really die. If you really die, I won't even be able to find my way out of this godforsaken place. I don't want to die alone. Do you hear me?"

Still no response!

Yu Luoning's heart skipped a beat. After a moment's hesitation, she reached out and lifted the handkerchief covering Bai Rongling's face, checking his breath.

Hmm, thankfully, it's still breathing.

Just as Yu Luoning was about to put the handkerchief back on, her hand inexplicably stopped.

Her gaze involuntarily fell back on Bai Rongling's exquisite and flawless face.

Beautiful, so beautiful.

If only this kind of beauty belonged to her alone, and could be seen only by her...
