Although she was surprised for the moment, she wasn't that affected...

Zuo Min's eyes focused, and with a wave of her hand, the poisonous centipede sprouted spikes all over its body, then jumped off her and rushed toward Ye Anping.

She had to admit that this boy with the Holy Emperor bloodline was indeed quite powerful.

But how could some clever tricks make up for the difference in cultivation level?

Zuo Min knew that she couldn't push Ye Anping into a desperate situation; otherwise, if he forcibly summoned the Holy Emperor's Dragon Body, she might really find her end here. But she was a toxic parasite cultivator and had hundreds of ways to make him unable to move without seriously injuring him.

Seeing the centipede with its spiked armor charging toward him, Ye Anping turned his sword horizontally, supporting the flat surface with his left hand, and moved his right foot back.

Boom--

The giant centipede collided with the sword. Even though Ye Anping had used all his strength to control his footing, he was still pushed back by the tough armor and slid behind.

Zuo Min grinned crookedly and raised her hand again.

The centipede's mouthparts opened, and a blood-colored mist erupted, wrapping Ye Anping in it.

There were five kinds of poisons in the belly of the poisonous centipede. Some were strong poisons that could corrode human bones, and some were weaker poisons that only paralyzed the limbs and hindered the circulation of spiritual energy through the meridians.

This bloody mist was the latter.

These poisons were not a big problem for a *Core Formation* cultivator, but they were more than enough to deal with someone in the *Foundation Building* stage.

"Heh!"

Zuo Min sneered but suddenly saw an icy blue sword light coming toward her. She turned her bulging compound eyes to see Pei Lianxue on the other side, then waved her sleeves.

A silver mist poured out of her sleeves, turning into a wall of bugs between her and Pei Lianxue.

This method was called the *Spirit Devouring Parasites*.

Zuo Min was already anticipating what would happen in the next moment. When this girl's sword touched the wall of insects, they would attach to her sword and then rapidly spread, engulfing her entire body. Within three breaths, this little girl will turn into a pile of white bones.

However...

*Swish*---

There was the sound of the sword entering flesh, and Zuo Min suddenly raised her head and arched her chest.

A sword pierced her from behind and went out from between her plump breasts.

At the same time, an ice-blue light flashed behind the wall of bugs she had built. The originally silver-white mist-like bugs were covered in frost, turning into a block of blue ice amber.

Then, several rays of sword light flashed through, and the blue ice wall shattered to pieces.

"Cough--"

Zuo Min looked down at the sword sticking out of her chest and reached out to her poisonous centipede. However, as soon as she raised her hand, Pei Lianxue's sword cut through her right arm.

At the same time, the sword in her chest was pulled out.

*Woosh*--

Ye Anping, who was behind Zuo Min, drew out his sword, then spun around and swung it toward the left side of her neck. At the same time, Pei Lianxue, who was in front of her, also raised her sword and slashed at the right side of her neck.

The two swords crossed each other, one on the left and the other on the right, then collided in the center of her neck.

*Ding*--

Among sparks, Zuo Min's head flew into the air.

When Ye Anping saw this, he immediately retrieved a stack of fire talismans from his storage bag and threw it on her back.

"Run!!!"

"Uhh!"

Without saying a word, the two turned and darted outside the square.

Zuo Min's head, still flying in the sky, looked in disbelief at the two fleeing people.

---These two people just ran away without checking the bag or confirming whether she was alive or dead?

---How did they know she was going to blow herself up?!

---And!! Why was that kid still able to move after being poisoned by her?!

She wanted to question him, but the head now flying in the sky had no vocal cords, which were still down there.

Zuo Min originally thought of exploding her body, seriously injuring those two, and then letting the parasites carry her soul to invade the girl's body and hide there, but...

They ran away?!

Just... just like that?!

Don't run!!

Why are you running?! Didn't you cut my head off?!

What are you running for?! Don't run!! Ahhhhh!!!

...

Ye Anping ran with Pei Lianxue all the way as if he could hear Zuo Min's impotent rage behind him, telling them not to run.

In the game, when Zuo Min's health reached 5%, she would self-destruct on the spot, passing on a 'debuff' to all players at the scene. As a result, all players' blood volume upper limit will become '1' in ten minutes.

Originally, there was a time limit in the ***Dragon House*** game plot. If all the Bosses were not defeated within an hour and a half, the group would be destroyed. Also, the planning would take ten minutes.

Who knew what the game planners were thinking?

But anyway, running faster should be fine.

However, just as they were running out of the square, two figures wearing bamboo hats jumped suddenly from the side.

They were a man and a woman with bright blond hair.

Seeing Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue running toward them, she shouted, "Hey! Who are you? Why do you know the sword techniques of my ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect..."

The moment he saw Yun Xi, Ye Anping shouted. "Sister, grab that girl!"

Pei Lianxue paused but, without thinking too much, rushed forward, bent over, and placed her shoulder on Yun Xi's abdomen.

"Ugh--"

Then, she straightened with Yun Xi on her shoulder and continued to run forward, carrying her.

In the same manner, Ye Anping leaned over, slamming his shoulder into the man following Yun Xi, lifted him on his shoulders, and kept on running.

"Put me down! What are you doing?!"

Yun Xi flailed her arms and legs, struggling on Pei Lianxue's shoulders.

Ye Anping threw her a glare. "Don't move!!"

"Ah..."

This look scared Yun Xi into stopping her random flailing, and it was at this moment...

*Boom*--

A red light rose from the square.

Accompanied by an earth-shaking vibration, a blood-red energy field exploded.

"Sister! Throw her!!"

Without hesitation, he and Pei Lianxue dropped the two people on their shoulders to the ground and continued to run at full speed.

Yun Xi sat up from the ground, looked at the bloody spiritual energy coming from behind, and immediately synthesized the situation.

"Holy shit!!"

Her companion also shouted with a horrified look. "Ahhhh-- Young Lady, protect your body quickly, quickly, quickly!!"

"Ah..."

Yun Xi formed the sword fingers before her chest, unfurling a golden imperial spirit shield in front of her body, then she turned her head to look at Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue who were already a hundred feet away and gritted her teeth.

"See how I'll deal with you if we meet again..."

Before she even finished her words, the energy wave crashed into her spirit shield.

*Boom*--

After barely lasting one breath, the spirit shield shattered and dissipated.

Upon impact, Yun Xi and her companion were instantly blown into two white parabolic trajectories in the sky, following Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue's steps.

Ye Anping estimated in his mind that they had already run about two miles away from the square, so he stopped and turned to activate the spiritual energy protection.

"Sister, stop! Protect your body!"

"Okay..."
