God-Slaying Blade

Swish!

The black lynx instantly transformed into a dark shadow, bursting out from the bushes and lunging straight for Zhao Qingmeng's neck.

Upon hearing Qin Jue's shout, Zhao Qingmeng was naturally prepared!

As his inner energy surged, he slashed at the approaching black shadow with his sword!

"Sword Shadow Piercing the Clouds!"

boom--

With a flash of sword light, the sword energy condensed into a beam and fell straight down on the black lynx's head!

With a swipe of its forepaw, the black lynx unleashed a burst of demonic energy, gleaming with a sharp light as it tore through the air!

boom!

The seemingly powerful beam of sword energy was instantly shattered by the sharp edge of the demonic claw!

Zhao Qingmeng's expression changed, and she suddenly retreated. As she retreated, she swung her long sword in a wide arc, transforming it into a dense sword energy shield that blocked her path!

"Meow—"

"Woman, let Blackie bite your neck off!"

boom!

The black lynx leaped twice in mid-air, rushing towards the sword energy shield with no slowing down, and angrily slapped the sword energy shield with its claw!

With a loud crash, the sword energy shield shattered!

Zhao Qingmeng was only at the Grandmaster level, while this black lynx was already a beast with strength equivalent to a human Grandmaster. In terms of combat power, it was naturally far superior to Zhao Qingmeng.

The moment the sword energy shield shattered, Zhao Qingmeng's face paled!

It was also filled with resentment!

Over the past four years, she has cultivated frantically, rising from the seventh rank to the Grandmaster realm!

After putting in several times the effort of an ordinary person, she finally obtained the qualification to enter the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm!

However, she never expected that she would perish in the jaws of a strange beast as soon as she entered the secret realm...

"Lightning Strike!"

Suddenly, a violent surge of energy rushed from behind her, and a large hand abruptly grabbed her slender waist, pressing its fingertips against her navel and pulling her entire body to the left.

Bang!

Her body collided with a solid body.

At the same time, a fist-like arm filled with domineering power shot out from beside her cheek like thunder!

boom!

With a furious punch, the black lynx that was about to bite Zhao Qingmeng's neck had its head explode into a cloud of blood mist in an instant!

The black lynx couldn't understand until its death how this human had arrived so quickly...

"what!"

Blood splattered like rain, and Zhao Qingmeng cried out in surprise. She thought she would be covered in blood, but Qin Jue's powerful fist blasts all the blood forward, and not a single drop landed on the two of them.

"Xiao...Xiao Jue, thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise I'm afraid I would really be dead." Zhao Qingmeng clutched her chest in lingering fear, her heart still pounding wildly.

She could even smell the lynx's foul breath just now...

If Qin Jue hadn't descended like a god, she would have surely died!

Qin Jue gently removed his right hand from Zhao Qingmeng's waist, took a half step back, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, it was a close call. There are quite a few strange beasts in this secret realm. When I came over just now, I saw two even more ferocious beasts."

As he spoke, Qin Jue's face flushed, and his eyes darted to the side.

Just now, he felt that his sister-in-law's waist was so slender and soft...

She also has a unique fragrance.

But the thought that Zhao Qingmeng was his sister-in-law made him curse himself as a "beast" in his heart.

Although he could have grabbed Zhao Qingmeng's shoulder and thrown her backward in that instant, Qin Jue was afraid that he might hurt her in the heat of the moment, so he could only offend his sister-in-law.

Although he was unintentional, the sensations transmitted through his fingertips and palms so vividly touched the heart of this hot-blooded young man...

Zhao Qingmeng didn't notice Qin Jue's unusual behavior, but she was startled by his words. She said with some worry, "With so many strange beasts, aren't Senior Sister Li, Senior Sister Zhuo, and Junior Sister Xu all in danger?"

Qin Jue nodded and said, "This Cloud Mountain Secret Realm has existed for countless years, so it's inevitable that there are dangers within. Let alone ninth-rank and grandmasters, even a great grandmaster could perish here."

Zhao Qingmeng pursed her lips and hesitated, then said, "Should we go find them first?"

Qin Jue shook his head and said, "Everyone came here to find rare treasures and spiritual techniques. We can't waste our limited time searching for and protecting others. Since you've dared to come, let each seek their own opportunities and leave life and death to fate!"

Although Qin Jue's words were somewhat indifferent, Zhao Qingmeng knew that Qin Jue was not wrong.

Moreover, although Qin Jue became an elder of the Su Yun Sect, he did not have deep feelings for the other members of the Su Yun Sect.

If he happens to run into someone, he can lend a helping hand.

But Qin Jue couldn't be a good person to deliberately seek them out.

"Sister-in-law, I need to find a Crimson Mountain first. Xie Yunyuan said that there is a ball of heaven and earth spiritual fire hidden in that Crimson Mountain, and I plan to seize and refine it! So our time is really not much." Qin Jue said with a smile.

Zhao Qingmeng was surprised: "Xie Yunyuan actually told you such important news, could it be that she still has feelings for you?"

"She just wants to buy freedom for the Xie family," Qin Jue said calmly.

Zhao Qingmeng's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Xiao Jue, you and Xie Yunyuan used to get along quite well, didn't you ever think about..."

"Sister-in-law, the past cannot be changed. I once advised you to let go of the past, but how could I possibly cling to it myself? You can call me heartless if you want, but there is no possibility between her and me in this lifetime. Not fighting to the death is the best ending for Xie Yunyuan and me," Qin Jue said with a faint smile.

Zhao Qingmeng laughed and said, "Then I won't mention her anymore. There are plenty of good girls out there. I'll find you a few more in the future."

"Heh, then I'll be waiting. As long as she's a good girl, I'll definitely be able to handle it." Qin Jue's lips curled up slightly.

Zhao Qingmeng felt somewhat helpless; this uncle seemed a bit of a jerk...

"Sister-in-law, I'll fly up up and take a look. You keep the black lynx's carcass."

"good!"

Qin Jue flew up to the top of the forest, searching for the crimson mountain peak.

After collecting the black lynx's carcass, Zhao Qingmeng leaped up to the treetop.

"Xiao Jue, have you found it?" Zhao Qingmeng asked, looking around.

Her eyesight was limited, so the distance she could see was naturally not as far as Qin Jue's.

Qin Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems to be about thirty miles to the left. But it's too far away for me to be sure. Let's head in that direction first, searching for rare and precious materials while continuing to look around."

"Let's go on the ground then, it's safer!" Zhao Qingmeng suggested.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "You and Da Bai go down, I'll go up, so we can find the thing!"

Swish!

Suddenly, a white figure leaped down from above, landing on the ground and transforming into the form of a white wolf.

"Sister-in-law, ride the white wolf."

"Heh, spirit beasts are still the best. They can be brought in together through the spirit beast pouch." Zhao Qingmeng sighed enviously, then flew down to Da Bai and chuckled, "Da Bai, if you mind, I can follow behind you, but you'd better run slowly."

Big White let out a yelp and rubbed its head against Zhao Qingmeng's chest.

Qin Jue's lips twitched slightly. If Da Bai hadn't been a female wolf, he would have called her a "pervert."

Zhao Qingmeng was overjoyed, never expecting that Da Bai would be so affectionate towards her.

"Hehe, then I'll ride you!" Zhao Qingmeng smiled and flipped herself onto the wolf's back.

"Ouch." Dabai groaned.

Qin Jue's face darkened slightly...

"Xiao Jue, can't you understand animal language? What is Da Bai saying with all those 'woo-woo-woo' sounds?" Zhao Qingmeng asked curiously.

"Cough, she said you're much lighter than me," Qin Jue coughed lightly.

Qin Jue was speechless.

Actually, what Da Bai was yelling just now was: "Xiao Jue, your sister-in-law's butt is much softer than yours..."
