When the Five Elements Demon Lord appeared, Mingyue instinctively wanted to flee.
But she knew her own limitations, and she was also carrying the unconscious Ji Shiyou.
She couldn't escape, so she could only stay and face them.
She didn't realize that at the brink of life and death.
Despite her love for her own life, she never once considered abandoning Ji Shiyou and escaping alone.
While her not-so-bright mind was rapidly churning, thinking of ways to escape.
Tian Jian and the others had fallen for Qingmu Demon Lord's provocation and left the Golden Lotus.
They were struck down by Heitu Demon Lord. Mingyue felt her situation was dire.
Originally, Tian Jian and the others were safe within the Golden Lotus, their lives not in immediate danger.
But due to their hot-headedness and inability to withstand mockery.
Now, she was the only one left uninjured at the foot of Furong Peak.
However, by Ji Shiyou's own words, her cultivation was equivalent to nothing.
Before the Five Elements Demon Lords of the Heavenly Demon Valley, she was like an ant that could be crushed at will.
Therefore, Mingyue was adaptable and humbly tried to appease Qingmu Demon Lord.
Hoping that the Five Elements Demon Lord would spare her and Ji Shiyou.
She felt that Ji Shiyou in her arms was severely injured.
So she wanted to find a quiet place to quickly heal Ji Shiyou.
But Qingmu Demon Lord would absolutely not let Ji Shiyou go.
Because during their previous exchange, Qingmu Demon Lord had confirmed.
Ji Shiyou was not Jinwu Immortal, because if it were the Jinwu Immortal from two hundred years ago.
It would have been them who died now.
Then this woman, who could unleash Jinwu Burning Heaven.
Was either a descendant of Jinwu Immortal or her disciple.
Therefore, she must not be allowed to escape, and they must cut off the roots to prevent future trouble.
One was for revenge. Two hundred years ago.
The Heavenly Demon Valley was destroyed, and Jinwu Immortal was one of the main culprits.
And that year, countless demon cultivators died under Jinwu Fire.
Furthermore, Ji Shiyou had now cultivated Jinwu Burning Heaven to such a level.
In a few more years, she would become another Jinwu Immortal.
They must not let a tiger grow into a threat that would endanger the Heavenly Demon Valley in the future.
Now that Ji Shiyou was severely injured and incapable of resistance, it was the best opportunity to eliminate her.
Therefore, Qingmu Demon Lord was completely unmoved by Mingyue's plea.
Without even considering it, he attacked.
He unleashed a Qingmu Art, intending to kill both Mingyue and Ji Shiyou.
At this moment, Mingyue had no hesitation, nor did she have time for it.
Her mind was filled with only one thought: she absolutely could not let Ji Shiyou be hit.
Ji Shiyou must not die. For this goal, she could do anything.
Thus, as the Qingmu Art was unleashed.
She exerted all her strength, directly throwing Ji Shiyou, who was in her arms, away.
Fortunately, at this time, their bodies had been swapped.
Ji Shiyou was currently using her body.
Her petite frame was not heavy.
And Mingyue was using Ji Shiyou's body.
Tall and long-limbed, with strong arms.
Under Mingyue's throw, Ji Shiyou successfully landed within the Golden Lotus.
This was Mingyue's plan, the best and fastest way to save Ji Shiyou's life.
Even if the Five Elements Demon Lords were powerful, they would not be able to break the Golden Lotus in a short time.
This would buy time for Ji Shiyou's recovery.
As long as Ji Shiyou woke up, with his cultivation and experience.
Escaping on his own should not be a problem.
In the moment of life and death, Mingyue's thoughts.
Were all about Ji Shiyou, and she didn't think about her own safety at all.
Just as Ji Shiyou was thrown out, the Qingmu Art struck her.
Qingmu Demon Lord's intention was to kill, and he attacked without mercy.
The green light, imbued with ten layers of Qingmu Art's power.
Let alone Mingyue, a mere Pear Blossom demon.
Even immortal sect elders like Shi Li and Gui Zi.
Would have their souls scattered and bodies crushed if hit.
But as the green light flashed, Mingyue was unharmed.
The Five Elements Demon Lords froze. They had not expected.
This disciple of the Jinwu Palace, who appeared so timid.
To have such high cultivation, to face the overbearing Qingmu Art.
Without dodging or evading, without any action.
She had dissolved it invisibly, as if the Qingmu Art had never appeared.
Could it be that this man was playing the fool to lure the tiger into a trap, another master?
The Five Elements Demon Lords were greatly alarmed by this thought.
They involuntarily took a few steps back, tightly gripping their magical artifacts.
Fearing that Mingyue would suddenly attack and catch them off guard.
Mingyue was also bewildered. After she threw Ji Shiyou out.
The Qingmu Art was already upon her. She didn't even have time to circulate her energy to resist.
She could only close her eyes and wait for death. Who would have thought that after the light flashed, she was unharmed.
Could it be that Ji Shiyou's body had become indestructible?
Immune to all attacks? Mingyue guessed in her heart.
Just then, with a *clink*, she felt something fall from her waist.
Looking down, she saw the Moonlight Pendant that Ji Shiyou had given her.
However, it was broken into two halves. The spiritual light that had flowed on it was gone.
Dull and lifeless, it had become two ordinary stones.
Seeing the shattered Moonlight Pendant, Mingyue suddenly understood.
It was the Moonlight Pendant protecting its master, blocking the Qingmu Art and saving her life.
What followed was heartache, so intense it was suffocating.
As a miser, any loss of her possessions.
Would drive her mad, making her more furious than killing her.
"You deserve to die for destroying my Moonlight Pendant.
I will make you pay. Didn't your mother tell you.
Not to provoke misers? Because a furious miser.
Is terrifying. Sumeru Mustard Technique!"
Mingyue's face contorted, as if her ancestral grave had been dug up.
She roared at Qingmu Demon Lord. Now she was in a berserk state.
She no longer cared about the opponent's cultivation or identity.
In her eyes, the five in front of her were her mortal enemies.
What cultivation, what not being an opponent.
She cared about none of it anymore.
"Big brother, Sumeru Mustard Technique?
Isn't that a powerful offensive secret technique? He looks like this.
Not like a master, but more like he's lost his mind.
Why don't we just attack and kill him?"
Seeing Mingyue yelling and shouting like a madman.
And even shouting about Sumeru Mustard Technique, Heitu Demon Lord asked Qingmu Demon Lord with confusion.
He knew about Sumeru Mustard Technique; wasn't it just a minor spell for making objects bigger or smaller for storage? When did it become a powerful attack move for combat?
"Let's wait and see. Be careful of a trap.
That person could dissolve the Qingmu Art so effortlessly, he must not be simple.
He's probably trying to confuse us. Don't be fooled by him.
Watch out, here it comes!"
Qingmu Demon Lord was very cautious because.
He couldn't see through the Mingyue before him.
She looked like she had low cultivation, but she could dissolve his Qingmu Art invisibly.
If she had profound magic power, she would only be shouting and not attacking them.
As he spoke, he saw Mingyue move.
A white sphere the size of a millstone appeared, shimmering with iridescent light, enveloped in a milky white aura.
Qingmu Demon Lord's expression grew solemn, and he warned his four brothers.
The Five Elements Demon Lords faced a formidable enemy, on full alert.
Seeing the sphere flying towards them.
They didn't know whether to meet the attack or dodge. In the end, Heitu Demon Lord couldn't hold back.
He swung his Black Iron Cudgel, shattering the sphere with one blow.
"This brat is bluffing. This sphere has no magical power at all. I knew it..."
With one blow, Heitu Demon Lord realized Mingyue was putting on a show.
He turned to tell the other four.
But before he could finish, he fell straight down.
The other four Demon Lords didn't know what had happened and tried to help him up.
But their legs went weak, and they all fell to the ground.
"I told you not to provoke a miser."
Mingyue said with a sinister grin, taking out the Moonlight Dagger that Ji Shiyou had given her from her storage bag.
