Brother, how come you're a witch?

Chapter 4 Brothers Save the Day

A sword flashed.

In the blink of an eye, they climbed the cliff and reached Liu Baishuang.

Su Yan held nothing back. This sword strike burned his life essence and contained the sword intent of a true immortal. He forcibly raised the sword's power to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage with his Qi Refining cultivation. The pure white sword light carried a chilling killing intent.

will die.

Liu Baishuang's mind went blank, leaving only this one thought.

Despite being at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, she couldn't even draw her sword in the face of this strike. It wasn't that she didn't have enough time, but rather that she was completely unable to move. Her spiritual power seemed to be suppressed, and even moving her fingers was a luxury.

Why?

In the moment before death, as if stretched infinitely, her stagnant thoughts became active again.

Did he see through my plan? Or did he intend to kill me from the beginning?

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why he drew his sword the moment he saw me.

Didn't you say you wanted to influence me, teach me, and awaken the truth, goodness, and beauty within me?

A pang of bitterness rose in Liu Baishuang's heart, but her mind felt much lighter.

Everyone who knows about her connection to the Heavenly Demon will do everything in their power to kill her. This has been the case since she can remember, and she's long been used to it. Sure enough, this time will be no exception.

The strange feeling that had been lingering in her heart for the past two months had disappeared, and the nameless heaviness that had been pressing on her heart tonight had also faded away.

She stared at the oncoming sword light with a cold gaze, and a dark aura rose from the depths of her pupils.

She had anticipated this sword strike, knowing that Su Yan couldn't unleash an attack of this magnitude too many times, and had originally planned to sacrifice one or two demons to block it.

But since the other party has already taken the initiative to attack her, she has no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the consequences.

The blood of the Heavenly Demon boiled within Liu Baishuang's bloodline, and the suppressed spiritual power, which had turned from white to black, began to flow again with difficulty, its aura even subtly advancing further.

If this sword doesn't kill her, she'll definitely drag Su Yan down to hell with her!

"ha!"

Liu Baishuang forced out a soft growl and pulled out her sword with force.

"Zzzzt—"

However, Su Yan's sword light grazed her cheek, only severing a few strands of hair.

From the darkness behind them came the sound of flesh being chopped off, and the agonizing howls of the monster.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Baishuang saw Su Yan, who had just unleashed such a powerful sword strike on the mountain path, twitch his lips a few times, clutch his lower back, and gasp in shock:

"Monsters! Watch out!"

Before he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and forcefully channeled his spiritual power, squeezing out his essence and blood to fly up on his sword. Incredibly, he instantly stepped onto the cliff and rode the wind with his back to the bright moon.

"Huh?"

Liu Baishuang was stunned.

The man's rapidly approaching figure was reflected in her pupils, and the dark aura in her eyes receded like a tide before it could fully fill them.

So, you weren't going to kill me after all?

Liu Baishuang's breath hitched, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

"Awooo—"

So, they wanted to kill me!

Hidden behind, the demonic creature at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, which had lost half a claw, let out a mournful cry after being directly struck by the sword light. If the sword had not avoided Liu Baishuang and veered to the left, it would probably be dead by now.

As a monster with a warlike and bloodthirsty nature, it felt no fear despite sensing how terrifying the sword strike was. Instead, it became even more resentful because of the severed claw, and let out a fierce growl.

Seeing this, Su Yan, whose flying sword was in mid-air, frowned and quickly sped up, stepping onto the cliff and brushing past Liu Baishuang.

The wind lifted the strands of Liu Baishuang's hair that had been severed by the sword's light, leaving behind the lingering fragrance of the man's new clothes.

Liu Baishuang involuntarily took a deep breath and turned around:

"Su..."

"Senior Sister Liu, let's talk about this later."

Su Yan stood with his sword drawn between Liu Baishuang and the demon, his tone serious:

"I can only maintain this state for half an hour."

Actually, it's three minutes... Su Yan thought to himself. Burning his essence blood to forcibly enhance his combat power puts enormous pressure on his kidneys. If it goes on for too long, it will cause irreversible and devastating damage to his kidneys. It's reasonable for him to keep it within three minutes. It's just the right amount of time when he feels a little empty after using it, but he can replenish it painlessly by taking some pills.

It's a real pity that Ye Jingqiu, who had been begging for his first sword strike in the past two months, wasted it on a demon tonight, and didn't even manage to kill it.

Su Yan stared warily at the Foundation Establishment Peak demonic creature at the junction of the cliff and the forest.

As soon as he entered the area of ​​Xiaozhu Peak, he used his divine sense to search for Liu Baishuang's location. He found that she was indeed on the Enlightenment Cliff, just as his reliable senior brother Li had said. At the same time, he also discovered a demon hiding in the darkness behind her, its murderous intent lurking and ready to strike. It was clearly a demon that was about to ambush and kill someone.

The only person who could be attacked on the cliff was Liu Baishuang.

Su Yan didn't have time to think. He immediately drew his sword to save the person, and then, despite the fatigue and distraction caused by the sudden depletion of his vital essence, he used a special technique to fly his sword up.

He admitted that he flew so coolly because he wanted to win over the little vixen and make things easier for his future work.

But if given another chance, he would rather fly more awkwardly than waste that little bit of his life essence used for posing.

Because after he flew up, he discovered that there was more than one demon on the Enlightenment Cliff. There were also more than a dozen dark figures in the forest behind it, and they immediately started moving after Su Yan came up, forming an encirclement to block him and Liu Baishuang.

Right now, the only remaining way out is to jump off the cliff, but only those in the Foundation Establishment stage can fly on a sword. Flying sword is a micro-management technique of swordsmanship that takes advantage of the momentum of the sword. Just because Su Yan can fly up safely on his sword doesn't mean he can fly down safely under the siege of a group of demons.

Unless Liu Baishuang takes him away on her sword, but that would be rather awkward and a waste of his heroic entrance and the little bit of goodwill he had just gained.

Because of Ye Jingqiu, Su Yan's reputation has been damaged, and he has a bad reputation among the Xuanqing Sect disciples. Liu Baishuang even glares at him every day during class. How can he carry out his work under such circumstances? How can he save the world?

Moreover, with so many demons, even if Liu Baishuang carries him, they might not be able to escape.

Su Yan's eyes were serious. He quickly weighed the pros and cons and chose to be a real man for three minutes rather than run away with Liu Baishuang's coattails.

"Senior Sister Liu, please fly away on your sword first. I'll hold them off here."

He held his sword horizontally, its light reflecting the bright moon, his tone deep and resolute.

With her other hand, out of Liu Baishuang's sight, she pressed the jade token to send several messages quickly.

"Wait, Senior Brother Li, why are there so many demons in this place you arranged?"

"For the survival of the cultivation world, and so that my brother doesn't have to rely on pills to get by after overworking himself in his later years."

"Should we try to save them?"

The message was sent via Fetion.

Standing behind Su Yan, Liu Baishuang gazed intently at his slender yet reliable back. A tingling sensation welled up in her heart, and she raised a hand to her chest, bewildered, wondering what kind of feeling this was...

Suddenly, he realized that the communication jade pendant hidden in his chest was vibrating.

She unbuttoned her clothes with her fingers, looked down at the three flying messages displayed on the lit jade pendant, and blinked.

"Pfft."

I couldn't help but laugh out loud in such a serious setting.
