Wu Cheng's finger paused. He turned his gaze outward.
Gu Qianying was clad in a red cloak.
Nangong Mo wore a dark robe, and Du Chun, white robes and white hair.
The Sixth Prince Nangong Li, in embroidered robes, Lola Yata in blue, and Meng Yi in black, appeared before Wu Cheng.
Meng Yi held a thunderclap bomb in his hand.
This item had been given to them by Tian Ji Wu Chang.
"It's you?"
Wu Cheng's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Miss... save me..."
Lu Zhu's voice was hoarse from crying.
Gu Qianying and the others simultaneously looked towards the wooden bed.
They saw a figure on the wooden bed, indistinct and blurry.
Nangong Mo, Nangong Li, Du Chun, and Meng Yi immediately turned their backs.
"You deserve to die!"
A surge of anger rose in Gu Qianying's eyes.
She took off her cloak and threw it to Lola Yata, her intention clear.
As she turned, she gripped the Scarlet Blood Saber and engaged Wu Cheng in a swift battle.
Lola Yata quickly walked over, draped the cloak she held over Lu Zhu, and attempted to untie her bonds.
"Princess, thank you."
Lu Zhu cried sorrowfully.
"There, there, it's alright. Your young lady is here."
Seeing Lu Zhu like this, Lola Yata felt great pity.
After all, she was someone close to Gu Qianying, and she had spent a few days with her. This girl was very loyal and kind.
Lola Yata wrapped Lu Zhu tightly in the red cloak, ensuring she was not exposed.
Meanwhile, Gu Qianying and Wu Cheng.
One held the Scarlet Blood Saber, while the other used no weapons. However, as he fought Gu Qianying, he employed Wu Shu.
Suddenly, several Xuan Wang corpses appeared within the ancient tomb.
These creatures had red fur, resembled horses, but had no heads.
In addition, several Nine-Headed Serpent Beasts also appeared simultaneously.
These strangely shaped creatures possessed strong attack power.
The ancient tomb was filled with heavy Yin energy, and several Yin spirits appeared under the summoning of Wu Shu.
"My goodness, what are these things?"
The Sixth Prince Nangong Li was quite shocked to see the headless Xuan Wang corpses, the Nine-Headed Serpents crawling on the ground, and the ghost-faced, disembodied Yin spirits surrounding them.
Du Chun drew the long sword hidden in his sleeve.
Nangong Mo raised his palm.
They looked back and saw Gu Qianying and Wu Cheng locked in combat.
They exchanged glances and nodded.
Nangong Mo went to Gu Qianying's side to help her.
Du Chun wielded his long sword, slashing at the strangely shaped creatures attacking him.
"Stop watching, quickly deal with them!"
Du Chun shouted to the Sixth Prince Nangong Li.
Nangong Li finally reacted and quickly took out his folding fan.
Lola Yata took a soft sword into her hand, her body trembling, one eye closed.
Beside her, Meng Yi had already engaged in a fierce battle with the dozens of Xuan Wang corpses and the more than ten Nine-Headed Serpents.
The smell of blood spread through the ancient tomb.
A moment later, Du Chun and the others discovered that the more Xuan Wang corpses and Nine-Headed Serpents they killed, the more Yin spirits surrounded them, and they were all aggressive.
"Damn it, why can't we finish them off!"
Nangong Li roared.
Nangong Li hid behind Du Chun, appearing somewhat fearful.
The folding fan, with its hidden short swords, spun in his palm. He closed his eyes, flung it out, and when it returned, a Xuan Wang corpse fell.
Opening his eyes, he saw the Nine-Headed Serpents crawling on the ground. Nangong Li, who had been holding back his fear, spoke, and then his body went limp, and he fainted.
He had fainted from fright at their appearance.
Du Chun looked down at Nangong Li, who was clinging to his trouser leg and had fainted with his head tilted.
The corner of his mouth twitched. Without a word, he directly grabbed Nangong Li by the collar and threw him towards Lola Yata, saying, "Take care of him."
Mid-air.
Wu Cheng and Gu Qianying exchanged a round of blows.
Under the glint of swords, tomb bricks fell from the walls on both sides of the ancient tomb.
Gu Qianying, holding the Scarlet Blood Saber, the blade scraping against the tomb wall, sparks flying.
An unseen projectile flew directly at her.
Her pupils narrowed, and she leaned backward.
Nangong Mo, leaping up, caught Gu Qianying by the waist, and simultaneously flicked his sleeve, sending the projectile flying far away.
"My dear, you rest for a while. I will teach him a lesson!"
Nangong Mo held Gu Qianying, and they landed together.
He took off his outer robe, casually draped it over Gu Qianying, and took out the snacks he had prepared, handing them to Gu Qianying.
"My dear, you are pregnant and get hungry easily. Eat first. We will be able to leave soon."
Gu Qianying: "..."
As he spoke, Nangong Mo erected a barrier around Gu Qianying with his powerful spiritual energy.
The Yin spirits drifting aimlessly in the air, as well as the Xuan Wang corpses, Nine-Headed Serpents, and other strange creatures, could not approach.
Having done all this, Nangong Mo turned and walked towards Wu Cheng.
The Yin energy here was too heavy, and there were too many Yin spirits. Staying here for a long time would easily awaken his wife's inner demon.
Once the inner demon awakened, it would be very detrimental to his wife, especially since she was pregnant.
For now, he would be selfish.
Wu Cheng looked at the man radiating white light as he approached him.
He frowned, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Who are you, to possess such powerful spiritual energy?"
"I do not speak to trash! Today is your day to die!"
His tone was arrogant, his words overbearing.
Without further ado, Nangong Mo directly attacked Wu Cheng.
Powerful spiritual energy swirled around Wu Cheng, eliminating all the Yin spirits following him.
Wu Cheng's expression changed slightly. After swallowing the blood that was about to spurt from his mouth, he unleashed his Wu Shu to its highest level.
The surrounding Yin spirits increased, each with its mouth agape, looking terrifying.
The ancient tomb echoed with eerie laughter, and with the sound, several ghost bats with human faces flew from all directions.
They circled and gathered in the air.
"My day to die? Heh, today is your day to die!"
Wu Cheng sneered.
He turned and glanced at Lu Zhu, who was being held by Lola Yata, his face filled with anger: "Don't touch her, she is mine!"
Turning, he flew towards Lola Yata, intending to snatch Lu Zhu from her.
However, a powerful force blocked his path.
At this moment.
The several human-faced bats circling in the air flapped their wings and flew towards Lola Yata, Meng Yi, Du Chun, and the others respectively.
Gu Qianying was still within the barrier, so the human-faced bats could not approach.
"Ah... help me..."
At her feet were several Nine-Headed Serpents, in front of her were several Xuan Wang corpses, and above her, many human-faced bats flew.
Lola Yata, holding Lu Zhu, screamed in terror.
Lu Zhu, in a weakened state, wanted to protect Lola Yata, but was powerless.
Her internal spiritual energy had almost dissipated due to severe injuries. To recover, she would need to cultivate for several more days.
Meng Yi and Du Chun were struggling to fend for themselves.
Nangong Mo was dealing with Wu Cheng.
The Sixth Prince Nangong Li had not yet woken up.
Just as Lola Yata was terrified and didn't know what to do, Gu Qianying, who was trapped in the barrier, suddenly changed...
