Wu Baijin, on the other hand, was puzzled: "Why didn't I faint? And what was that blue wind?"

"Sister Ying! Sister Ying, are you alright, Sister Ying?"

Suddenly, Wu Qiu stepped forward and helped Ying up, speaking with great concern. This startled Ying, whose face was already weak; she was probably surprised by Wu Qiu's concern after his behavior these past few days.

But there was no time left. Although Thor had paused for a moment, they were not safe. So, Ying grabbed Wu Qiu and pulled him behind her, saying, "I'm fine. You guys go first, I'll hold her off."

Fengshan Jueyun stepped forward, blocking Ying's way. "No, I'll do it. Ying, you guys go first."

Ying reached out to grab him, saying at the same time, "Don't be impulsive, Jueyun. You go first, I..."

Suddenly, she froze, her pupils dilated sharply, her body stiffened instantly, her outstretched hand trembled slightly, and she remained motionless.

"Alright, alright, let's go..."

Then, Paimon, who had just saved Thomas, stopped halfway through his sentence, and Thomas, who had just been saved, was also stunned, staring in disbelief at the scene before him.

In that instant, the whole world fell silent, as if everything around Ying had turned white, and the whole world seemed to become empty.

Sensing something, Fengshan Jueyun suddenly turned around, and then his hand trembled slightly, almost dropping the wind-shaped object he was holding. His pupils contracted slightly, and the power emanating from Fengshan Jueyun dissipated instantly.

"Sister Ying, are you busy now?"

Wu Qiu's calm voice rang in Ying's ears. Ying turned her head slightly in disbelief, looking at Wu Qiu right next to her, and feeling the demonic sword piercing through her body.

"Xiao, Xiao Qiuzi..."

On the viewing platform, Wu Baijin's eyes widened in shock. "Holy crap! What's going on?! What is that bastard doing?! This is complete chaos!"

Wu Baijin's eyes immediately turned red, and his hands gripped the stone railing in front of him so tightly that he actually pried a piece of the stone off.

Gritting his teeth, Wu Baijin felt his heart breaking. In that instant, the last obstacle in his mind, the memories he had forgotten, began to return little by little. Especially when he saw the demonic sword pierce through Ying's body, although Wu Baijin had not fully recovered, he went somewhat mad.

He gritted his teeth, which even began to tremble and bleed from the crowd. At this moment, Wu Baijin was struggling and angry, and at the same time, he let out low, inhuman growls from his throat.

"Holy crap, kid! What are you doing? What's wrong with you? Are you alright?"

Wu Baijin was terrified. He looked at Wu Baijin and spoke, his voice trembling. After all, he had never seen Wu Baijin like this before.

She abruptly drew her demonic sword, her body went limp, and she collapsed to her knees. Supporting herself with one hand and clutching her chest with the other, Ying stared blankly at the ground, her voice trembling and incredibly weak as she uttered, "Why…"

Wu Qiu raised his foot and gently kicked Ying in the shoulder. Ying's body went limp, and she weakly lay on her side on the ground, her eyes still staring at Wu Qiu in disbelief.

"I've found what I was looking for. Thank you for leading me to my target. Now, you are useless." With that, the man knelt before Thor, looking at her with great confidence, and said, "Then, Lord Thor, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you and annihilate these eternal enemies."

"Brother Qiu, why?"

Looking at Wu Qiu, Fengshan Jueyun never imagined that Wu Qiu would one day make a move against Ying. Even though he had suspected it, he never thought that Wu Qiu would kill Ying, because in Fengshan Jueyun's memory, that was even more impossible than Wu Qiu committing suicide.

“Even if you are number three, Brother Qiu would never kill Sister Ying, unless…”

"You're not Brother Qiu!"

Feng Shan Jueyun was filled with killing intent, but he could do nothing because Ying's chest was still bleeding and her mouth was also bleeding. At the same time, demonic energy was entering her body and destroying it.

Feng Shan Jueyun could only use his Demon Night Eyes to suppress the demonic energy; otherwise, Ying would truly be in danger.

As for Thor, she didn't move, but she didn't attack Wu Qiu either. Wu Qiu grinned. It seemed he had gambled correctly. He had tried his best to remain an outsider and not make a move from the beginning, and now that he had expressed his loyalty, the puppet indeed wouldn't attack him.

So, he slowly got up, came to Fengshan Jueyun and Ying, raised the demon sword, and pointed it at them.

"No, no."

Paimon bravely stood in front of them, but what could her small frame do? She was overwhelmed by the demonic sword and had no way to resist.

"Well then, goodbye everyone."

As he spoke, the demonic sword fell towards them...

Chapter 555: A Narrow Escape

As the demonic sword was about to fall, Wu Baijin tensed up. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way; after all, it was completely different from what he had imagined.

Ying's strength was much greater than she had known, yet she was stabbed in the back by someone. And now? They seemed to be in dire straits. Would they really die like this?

Just then, suddenly, a spear thrust forward. Wu Baijin's eyes lit up. That's right, Thomas should throw his spear now. Although the targets are different, hopefully the outcome will be...

Just as he was thinking this, Wu Qiu merely glanced at the spear, and then a force spread out, directly shattering the spear.

It was completely useless. Wu Baijin's eyes widened, thinking, "It's over, it's over, it's over! We're doomed, Yingmei and the others are going to die."

Wu Baijin, who had already silently mourned, felt a gust of wind pass by, and the next second he realized that the person standing next to him had disappeared. Turning around, he saw that Wu Baijin had already jumped down, and with a thud, he crashed to the ground.

"Holy crap! Kid, are you crazy?!"

Wu Baijin saw that Wu Baijin picked up a long spear from the ground and, without hesitation, with red eyes, charged towards it.

Sensing someone approaching, Wu Qiu glanced sideways and, seeing an ordinary person, couldn't help but sneer, "What's going on these days? Even ants are joining in the fun."

He didn't want to pay him any attention and was thinking about killing these guys in front of him so he could carry out his later plan. But, just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly felt that he couldn't move.

"what happened?"

Surprised, Wu Qiu glanced sideways and noticed a familiar power emanating from the person rushing towards him. The demonic seed sensed it, and thus resisted, defied him.

"So that's it, it was him! He's still alive!"

With a roar of anger in his heart, Wu Qiu suddenly unleashed his power to break free from control, then pulled away and dodged the ordinary attack from the ordinary person.

This scene was too bizarre. No one knew why an ordinary person would rush down, and no one knew why Wu Qiu, who was so powerful, would hide.

He casually tossed aside the spear in his hand and swiftly turned around. Seeing Ying lying on the ground, his mind was in turmoil.

Memories of the past flashed through his mind, scene after scene, but there were too many to bear at first. But now, Wu Baijin no longer cared about any of it.

He rushed forward, grabbed Ying, and held her in his arms, crying and shouting.

"Sister Ying, Sister Ying, wake up! I was wrong, it's all my fault, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry... If I hadn't been so useless, you wouldn't have..."

Wu Qiu truly regretted not being more careful, and why her body had been taken away. At the same time, Wu Qiu felt guilty because she had only just thought of Ying, even though it wasn't the first time she had seen her.

Looking at the middle-aged man crying miserably in front of him, Feng Shan Jueyun placed his hands in the air in front of Ying to suppress the demonic energy in his body, while staring blankly at him.

"Brother Qiu, are you... Brother Qiu?"

Although it was hard to believe, Fengshan Jueyun had a feeling that the person in front of him was the real Wu Qiu they had been searching for.

Wu Baijin didn't look up. Looking at Ying, who was pale in his arms, his heart was truly broken. Regret, anger, and his own powerlessness made Wu Baijin feel like the world had collapsed.

"Xiao Qiuzi."

Suddenly, Ying, pale-faced, opened her eyes and looked at the five hundred-pound man in front of her. Although it was an unfamiliar face, Ying recognized him in an instant.

Seeing Wu Qiu crying so miserably, Ying smiled and reached out to pinch Wu Qiu's cheek. Finally, she shook her head and said, "Why are you crying so horribly? I'm not that fragile."

"Sister Ying, Sister Ying, you're alright! That's great, that's great!"

Wu Qiu's face lit up with surprise. Ying, however, frowned, glared at Wu Qiu, and said, "Don't move, it hurts."

She coughed, looking even weaker, but still smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Akiko, I only realized it now. I'm really sorry..."

After saying that, Ying fainted. However, a smile remained on her lips. Clearly, the Wu Qiu who had kept her at arm's length in the face of the current danger was a fake, and this made Ying even happier.

"And the fact that Ying is alright puts Wu Qiu at ease. As long as Ying is alright, then everything is fine, everything can be resolved, as long as Ying is alright."

"Holy crap, Qiu-ge, you actually know how to come back!"

Whether from excitement or something else, Feng Shan Jueyun suddenly kicked Wu Qiu. He then yelled, "Do you even know how badly that fake you has bullied us these past few days?! Do you even know how much Ying-jie has suffered these past few days?! You go back and kneel before Ying-jie for three days straight! Or I'll kick you to death, you believe me?!"

Although he said that, he grabbed Wu Qiu and punched her three times hard. Of course, these were all light blows, since Wu Qiu's current body could kill her in one hit.

"I never expected you to still be alive! Not bad, not bad at all. Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, then this is just the right time to eliminate any future trouble!"

The fake Wu Qiu stepped forward, looking at them with amusement, and raised his greatsword to strike. At this moment, Feng Shan Jueyun's eyes also flashed with killing intent.

If he hadn't been helping Ying suppress the demonic energy within her, he would have already activated the Eye of the Night and fought desperately. Now that this guy is a fake, he certainly wouldn't have any burden at all.

However, Ying still needed him, so he knew he had to hurry. Escaping would be the best outcome, but if that wasn't possible, he would fight desperately.

But just as they were about to start fighting, the entire sky suddenly shook, and the next second, the sky turned yellowish-brown, and a huge figure appeared in the sky.

An immense pressure swept over them instantly, and in that instant, everyone involuntarily looked up at the sky. Then, they saw a gigantic figure appear in the sky.

A white cloak and hood, his body radiating with coalescing rock element, golden light swirling across his dark skin. A pair of enormous rocky hands lifted him up, their aura surging, ultimately forming a gigantic celestial star in the sky.

"Morax!"

The fake Wu Qiu took a step back, a hint of fear appearing in his eyes.

"Damn it! Why is the Geo Archon here?!"

He then stepped back again.

"It's Zhongli!"

Paimon and the others exclaimed in surprise, and for a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Morax in the sky.

In an instant, people began to flee in terror, for they could not withstand such an attack.

However, Thor did not move at all. He just stood there, looking at the giant rock god in the sky, without even attacking or defending.

Fake Wu Qiu gritted his teeth, his power surging wildly. He wanted to block the attack and also retreat and escape. After all, the Rock God was far beyond his ability to contend with; a direct confrontation would be suicide.

"Oh no! We'll get hurt from this spot too!"

Feng Shan Jueyun cried out in alarm, but it was too late. The star crashed to the ground, and even then, people heard a very authoritative voice.

"The heavens and the myriad phenomena are in motion!"

However, the expected explosion did not occur. The giant star disintegrated the moment it hit the ground, and yellow smoke covered the entire scene.

All the fluctuations of power vanished, leaving nothing but a puff of smoke, and no one felt the slightest discomfort.

The fake Wu Qiu was dumbfounded, as were Feng Shan Jue Yun and the others. But just as they were dumbfounded, a figure swept past them, and a rope quickly wrapped around their waists, tying them together.

Then they felt a force come at them and were pulled away. Once they were out of the smoke's range, they saw a large, fat raccoon dog with ropes tied around its body, running for its life.

You never know where the limit of 500 gold is. This guy is really outrageous, carrying so many people, yet he runs even faster than before.

The wind had picked up, and instead of retreating, they moved their legs incredibly fast, just like a person, and in an instant they were far away.

"What the hell! What are you guys getting so sentimental about! If you keep dragging this out, you'll all die right there!"

As he ran, Wu Baijin shouted. At this moment, the fake Wu Qiu realized he had been tricked, and just as he was about to give chase, he found that he could not move again.

A layer of blue starlight surrounded him, stopping him. The fake Wu Qiu couldn't help but curse, "Annoying thing."

Following that, they had no choice but to give up.
