Sixth Prince Nangong Li watched from afar, unable to remain calm. He snatched the saber from Meng Yi's waist, intending to charge forward.
At Gu Qianying's signal, Meng Yi, along with two of the Yinshan Six, Zi Wang and Zi Liang, intercepted Nangong Li, preventing his impulsive move.
In the distance.
The moment Wu Yanghao raised his great saber, a black shadow appeared.
The wind howled.
A Mu stood atop the cliff, his hands behind his back, a black cloth blindfolding his sightless eyes.
He carried no weapons.
Upon seeing A Mu, Wu Yanghao's lips curled into a sneer. "A blind dragon defeated by those weaklings dares to be insolent before me? Hahaha..."
Hiding in the distance, he had personally witnessed this flood dragon transform into human form. His eyes were blind, and he was severely injured.
What was this cripple doing before him? Seeking death?
Wu Yanghao dismissed him with disdain, not giving A Mu a second glance.
However... as the saber fell, A Mu opened his mouth and let out a furious roar.
Instantly, a colossal dragon form appeared, coiling around Wu Yanghao tightly as it spun.
The great saber in his hand followed suit.
"You blind dragon, release me! I will kill you!"
Wu Yanghao roared, his robust physique appearing like an harmless ant before the flood dragon A Mu.
A Mu coiled around Wu Yanghao, his tail wrapped around his neck, constricting tightly.
Wu Yanghao struggled to breathe, his face changing color, his curses gradually fading into silence.
The flood dragon A Mu spun Wu Yanghao around the cliff edge.
"Brother!"
Wu Yangfeng cried out in alarm.
Wu Yangxuan tightened his reins, his palm force shifting. He leaped from his horse, brandishing his serpent spear.
He was going to save his elder brother, Wu Yanghao.
But at this moment, a figure in red blocked his path.
"I said I would cut off your head to mourn Wu Zhiruo!"
As the words fell, Gu Qianying, wielding the Scarlet Blood Saber, lunged at Wu Yangxuan.
She struck again and again.
Wu Yangxuan, startled, dodged.
"Miss Gu, how about we make a deal?"
Wu Yangxuan weaved left and right, daring not to engage Gu Qianying head-on.
From the moment Gu Qianying subdued the flood dragon, he knew he was no match for her.
That was why he had planned to use the lives of two people from their side to threaten Gu Qianying, forcing her to hand over the Demon Token.
But who would have thought that the flood dragon, despite being blind and severely injured, would still be so formidable?
Now, facing Gu Qianying's relentless advance, he dared not be careless.
"No matter what deal you propose, your head must remain. This is what you owe Wu Zhiruo!"
She had originally planned to inquire about the whereabouts of the Wu Yang siblings after returning. Wu Yangxuan had to die.
Now, fate had brought them to her doorstep, and she would not let them escape.
"If it's about Tian Ji Wu Chang, wouldn't Miss Gu want to hear it?"
Wu Yangxuan retreated a few steps. As Gu Qianying swung her Scarlet Blood Saber again, he quickly uttered these words.
"Tian Ji Wu Chang? Oh?"
Gu Qianying's interest was piqued.
She retracted the Scarlet Blood Saber and landed steadily.
Wu Yangxuan's eyes flickered. Seizing the opportunity, he gripped his serpent spear and flew towards the mountaintop.
Gu Qianying's lips curved into a cold smile. As she raised her hand, her crimson eyes flared, and several black threads shot towards Wu Yangxuan.
Wu Yangxuan was yanked back, the black threads coiling around him like a cocoon.
Gu Qianying walked towards him coldly. Before she could speak,
Wu Yangxuan hurriedly spoke again, "Miss Gu, shall we continue our deal? As long as you release my siblings, I will tell you everything about Tian Ji Wu Chang, his plans, and all his affairs. How about it?"
"I must say, you are quite clever."
To use what she wanted to know to save his own life.
Such a person, though selfish, was also intelligent.
Her slender jade hand reached out towards Wu Yangxuan. Her fingers closed, and she gripped his neck, her clear voice whispering in his ear.
"If you weren't such a scumbag, perhaps we could have been friends. But alas, your life must be buried with Wu Zhiruo!"
Gu Qianying remained resolute.
The black threads loosened and dispersed. The sharp Scarlet Blood Saber flipped in her palm.
With a flash of steel,
She severed Wu Yangxuan's head with a single strike.
Blood splattered across her face.
"Second Brother!"
Witnessing her most hated enemy decapitate her own brother,
Wu Yangfeng was beside herself with rage.
But she knew clearly that at this moment, let alone snatching the Demon Token, she couldn't even save her own life.
Without hesitation, she made a decision. Leaving her elder brother still entangled by the flood dragon, she threw a thunderous powder and fled.
In the distance.
The flood dragon A Mu, still coiled around Wu Yanghao, flung him violently from the sky.
With a sickening crack of bones, Wu Yanghao rolled onto the ground, screaming in agony.
He eventually lost consciousness.
"Crack..."
A faint sound echoed.
Lu Zhu and Luo La Yata, tied to the cliff edge, their mouths gagged, could not speak.
They looked at each other in alarm.
They knew they were about to fall!
The branches snapped.
Lu Zhu and Luo La Yata plummeted downwards.
"Luo La Yata!"
Sixth Prince Nangong Li cried out.
He could no longer restrain himself. He pushed aside Zi Wang and Zi Liang and ran towards the mountaintop.
"Luo La Yata, you old hag, if you dare to die, I'll hate you forever!"
Tears welled in his eyes.
Below the cliff lay a bottomless abyss.
He dared not imagine what would happen after they fell.
At this moment, he could only hope to run faster, perhaps to catch that rascal Luo La Yata. If he couldn't, he would gladly die with her.
His foot suddenly stumbled on some stones.
Nangong Li fell to the ground. He ignored his disheveled clothes, scrambled up, and continued running.
His legs, unknown when, were scraped and bleeding, staining his trousers red. As if oblivious to the pain, he kept running.
Meanwhile.
Holding the bloody head, Gu Qianying tossed it to Zi Xiu, instructing him to store Wu Yangxuan's head.
Turning, she leaped towards the cliff.
The rest of the Yinshan Six stood frozen, unsure how to help.
Du Chun coaxed Nangong Mo, "A Mo, close your eyes. I'll do a magic trick for you, okay?"
"Okay."
Nangong Mo nodded obediently and closed his eyes.
Du Chun covered Nangong Mo's eyes while glancing towards the cliff.
If Gu Qianying was fast enough, she might be able to save one of them.
At the cliff, as the two figures plunged downwards, Lu Zhu, having exhausted all options, closed her eyes.
She still possessed her qi, but bound as she was, it was useless.
Unable to save herself, she could only resign herself to fate.
Perhaps there was a river at the bottom of the cliff, and she wouldn't die from the fall.
However... the moment she closed her eyes, Luo La Yata, falling alongside her with her hands and feet also bound, her eyes flashed with a fierce glint.
Using some special method, she managed to break free from the ropes binding her hands behind her back.
"Rumble..."
A dragon's roar suddenly echoed.
In the distance, a colossal dragon flew like lightning.
A gust of wind seemed to stir in the air.
When Lu Zhu opened her eyes, she was already seated on the flood dragon A Mu.
Luo La Yata was with her, her deep gaze well-concealed.
As they met each other's eyes, they both saw surprise reflected in them.
Luo La Yata, without a word, slipped her hands back into the ropes binding her.
The flood dragon A Mu carried Lu Zhu and Luo La Yata as they leaped downwards.
Upon landing, both Gu Qianying and Sixth Prince Nangong Li rushed over.
"Lu Zhu, are you alright?"
As the flood dragon A Mu transformed back into human form, Gu Qianying untied the ropes binding Lu Zhu's hands and feet.
"Miss, I'm fine."
The feeling of surviving a disaster was profound, and Lu Zhu was grateful to be alive.
"You old hag, you scared me to death! I thought I'd never see you again."
Sixth Prince Nangong Li untied Luo La Yata and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"I wouldn't dare die. If I'm not around, who will keep you in line?"
Luo La Yata expertly grabbed Nangong Li's ear.
The usually boisterous prince was now remarkably docile, allowing Luo La Yata to pull his ear without protest.
"Yes, yes, yes, I know you wouldn't dare leave me, you old hag. Come, let me kiss you."
The two began to dote on each other.
Gu Qianying and Lu Zhu glanced at them, smiled, and turned to leave.
The flood dragon A Mu respectfully followed behind Gu Qianying.
With the matter resolved, Gu Qianying was in good spirits.
As she walked past the Yinshan Six, Zi Xuan handed her a white handkerchief, which she took to wipe her face.
After cleaning the blood from her face, she tossed the blood-stained Scarlet Blood Saber back to Zi Xuan for safekeeping and then approached Du Chun.
At that moment, Du Chun was still coaxing Nangong Mo to close his eyes for a magic trick.
Seeing Gu Qianying approach, Du Chun, with keen insight, stepped aside.
The right hand covering Nangong Mo's eyes was also lowered.
As it was lowered, a jade hand took its place, covering Nangong Mo's eyes.
"Good boy, you can open your eyes now."
Gentle words whispered into Nangong Mo's ear.
