The woman scorned him unceremoniously before letting out a sharp cry and charging forward again with her sword.
Her figure was like lightning. Before one of them could even react, she was already in front of him, her sword slicing downwards.
"This… this is impossible!"
The man, staring at the figure that had appeared before him, nearly dropped his jaw in shock.
This person, the more he looked, the more she resembled the woman outside, the one suspected to be Xing Wu!
But before he could get an answer, the woman's sword light fell, ending his life in a single blow!
The remaining two, upon seeing the appearance of the newcomer, were almost scared out of their wits.
"We split up and retreat!"
The words were out, and the two decisively fled, running for their lives with all their might.
Seeing this, the woman frowned and couldn't help but scoff.
"Can't you just be killed honestly!"
With that, she went straight after one of them, causing the one fleeing in the opposite direction to sigh.
"Apologies, brother, I'll be going ahead. I'll take good care of your wife and daughter for you. From now on, your child will be my son, and your wife will be my wife!"
However, he was quite happy to survive this one-in-two chance.
Of course, this so-called survival was nothing but his wishful thinking…
"Excuse me, sir, weren't you trying to kill me just now? Why the rush to leave?"
He looked up abruptly, only to find that it was Ye Yun, the one he had intended to kill, who had appeared before him at some unknown time.
Amidst his shock, he snorted coldly and said.
"With you alone, do you dare to stop me?"
Although he didn't take Ye Yun seriously, he dared not hesitate, intending to quickly finish Ye Yun and then flee.
"Die!"
He sneered and was about to unleash his full power again, and then…
A streak of bloody light pierced his chest. His body froze in place, staring at Ye Yun in astonishment.
"You… you…"
Ye Yun shook his head, flicking the God of Slaughter Crossbow in his hand and said.
"Understand? Times have changed."
Clearly, the God of Slaughter Crossbow was the culprit behind the previous strike.
Even if that person were a true immortal, he couldn't escape death after being struck by the God of Slaughter Crossbow.
Under the man's terrified gaze, his flesh and blood began to disintegrate, turning into dust.
"No… No!!!"
Amidst his shrill screams, he finally dissipated.
Watching this scene, Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh, not out of pity for the cruelty, but out of regret.
"Who sent these guys to mess with me? Is it the Heavenly Dao Temple? Doesn't seem like it…"
However, he soon stopped caring about these things.
After all, there was something far more important at hand!
Ye Yun looked up, his breath catching as he gazed at the woman who had helped him.
"This guy… she really appeared suddenly."
Clearly, the only one who could elicit such a reaction from him was Xing Wu, the wife he most wanted to see on this trip!
That's right, the woman who had suddenly appeared was indeed Xing Wu.
The only strange thing was that when she entered not long ago, she was wearing a black dress.
But now, in such a short time, she had transformed into a golden gown, and even her aura had become more sacred.
But none of that mattered. What was important was that he had seen her, and Ye Yun felt much more at ease.
At this moment, Xing Wu had also finished off the other person and walked towards him, looking at him with approval.
"Not bad, you fellow. You actually have some strength."
Ye Yun grinned and said without reservation.
"Of course, otherwise how could I be worthy of you, my dear wife?"
Having not seen her for a long time, Ye Yun was truly impatient.
But to his astonishment, Xing Wu froze after hearing his words.
"My dear wife? What does that mean?"
"Huh?"
Now it was Ye Yun's turn to be dumbfounded.
"Don't scare me. Did you forget me?"
"Who are you? Why should I remember you?"
Xing Wu pouted, looking displeased.
"I merely felt a familial closeness from you, which is why I helped you. I am not your wife."
Ye Yun immediately sensed that something was wrong. The Xing Wu before him, apart from her appearance and figure, seemed to have no connection to the Xing Wu he remembered.
Oh, right, the God of Slaughter Sword from before was also the same…
Ye Yun frowned and asked.
"Who exactly are you? You are not Xing Wu!"
"Who am I?"
Seeing Ye Yun's attitude, Xing Wu seemed to understand something, a slight smile playing on her lips as she said without reservation.
"I am the manifestation of the Heart of Heavenly Dao here, the true Xing Wu of the future!"
"…"
This answer stunned Ye Yun on the spot.
"Wait… I'm a bit confused. Let me sort this out…"
He frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly asked.
"In other words, you are a human formed by the Heart of Heavenly Dao that remained here?"
Xing Wu nodded and said, "You could understand it that way, for now."
Ye Yun felt a bit bewildered by this answer.
The Heart of Heavenly Dao here was Xing Wu's own Heart of Heavenly Dao, wasn't it?
According to Xing Wu's words, the Heart of Heavenly Dao contained most of her power and was the purpose of this trip.
And now, the situation seemed to be… Xing Wu's Heart of Heavenly Dao had gained sentience?
At this moment, Xing Wu looked at his pensive expression and snorted.
"Speaking of which, from what you just said, were you lovers with this body before?"
Ye Yun came back to his senses and nodded silently.
"Precisely."
Hearing this, Xing Wu, the manifestation of the Heart of Heavenly Dao, nodded directly.
"No wonder I felt a familial closeness from you. It seems you've even cultivated together…"
After speaking, she thought for a moment and continued.
"In any case, from now on, I will become the true Xing Wu. Since you are this body's husband."
"Then from now on, you are also my husband. Is that acceptable?"
"Uh…"
Ye Yun's mouth twitched, almost being shattered by her formidable logic.
"Um… can I refuse?"
"If you refuse, I'll kill you."
"Alright, my dear wife."
"Hmph, you know what's good for you."
With that, she extended her arm towards Ye Yun.
Ye Yun blinked, confused.
"What's wrong?"
The other party glared at him directly, put on a stern face, and looked at him kindly, saying.
"Since we are lovers, of course, you should hold me. Are you unwilling?"
To be honest, although her personality was different from the real Xing Wu,
Just using that face and that voice was enough to exert considerable influence over Ye Yun.
"Cough… alright, I'll hug you then."
Ye Yun coughed lightly and finally reached out to embrace her, his arm encircling her slender and soft waist.
Everything was so familiar. If she hadn't spoken, she would have been no different from Xing Wu. Her figure was exactly the same.
At this moment, Xing Wu seemed to be enjoying leaning into his embrace, as if savoring something.
"This is what it feels like to be held by a lover. It's quite nice…"
She was like a newborn child, naively exploring everything in this world.
As for Ye Yun, who was holding her, you ask if he was moved?
Well… he didn't dare to move at all.
