Tang Bai Li

Chapter 54 She is truly beautiful

Yin Zhongxiu was also extremely anxious when he saw this.

He couldn't influence Vitalian, nor could he deal with him in such a short time.

So he could only retreat, escorting people through this space one by one.

"Those who are close, come over here. I can only protect ten paces around me!"

Yin Zhongxiu retreated in front of a young cultivator, who was carrying Bai Pu on his back.

"Thank you, young man."

The young man had a handsome face and wore the red robe of the Demon Extermination Division.

Yin Zhongxiu blocked in front of him, his long spear constantly spinning, intercepting one attack after another, and moving forward rapidly.

"What are you doing!"

Lin Yan, who had broken through the defense line in the distance, turned back and felt it was absurd when he saw all this.

Had his old friend's brain been damaged? At a time when every second counted, he was still saving people?

"It's useless this way, it will only prevent you from escaping yourself!"

Wu Ye, the city lord of Buluo City, also reminded him with great concern.

Yin Zhongxiu was the governor of a division. If anything happened to him, the entire Buluo City would tremble. This would involve too many troublesome matters.

Moreover, in this situation, whether for public or private reasons, he should have fled himself first.

Even if all those second-tier ability users were added together, they were not as important as Yin Zhongxiu, who was at the third stage.

—Except for Yan Yu.

This principle also applied to others.

Therefore, whether it was Liang Shanping, Jin Jiao, or Lin Yan, they only took the wounded and fled within their capabilities, without intervening to help others.

It was really too late. The shadow of the fourth-stage tiger demon had appeared, and the white mist spread to this area, greatly increasing the pressure.

At this critical juncture, even a second of delay could mean being trapped here forever.

"I refuse to!"

Yin Zhongxiu gritted his teeth, desperately carving out a path for those behind him.

He wasn't seeking death, but for Yin Shuier.

In the field, there were eight people who had not broken through the defense line. Four were behind Yin Zhongxiu, and two were in a secluded position, trying to bypass Vitalian, but both failed.

The other two were Yan Yu and Yin Shuier.

The reason Yin Zhongxiu resolutely held his ground was to attract the enemy's firepower for the two of them.

He knew clearly that if he also left, Yan Yu would be the most targeted, because he had stabbed him in the abdomen.

And Yin Shuier, being beside Yan Yu, would not escape if something happened to him.

So he was desperately protecting Yin Shuier's safety.

...

Yin Zhongxiu tried his best to help the two escape, but he didn't expect that Yan Yu hadn't broken through the defense line not because he couldn't, but because the girl behind him had pulled his clothes.

"Xu Mu, why are you here!"

Just as Yan Yu was about to break through the blockade by cutting off the raindrops with his sword, Yin Shuier suddenly saw a familiar figure and quickly stopped.

That person was dressed in coarse cloth, carrying a long staff on his back, and a hunting knife at his waist. Naturally, it was Xu Mu.

He stood there, unmoving, less than twenty paces away from her.

Gray-white pupils narrowed his eyes when he saw the girl.

He had been discovered. Was it because of the excessive elemental energy in the sky?

So, he looked at Yin Shuier openly, his expression natural.

But someone was not natural.

Xu Mu in the Heavenly Palace was so startled that he opened his eyes when he heard Yin Shuier call out his name.

"This is bad!"

He retreated from his shadow state, cold sweat pouring down his back.

Yin Shuier was his superior. When she asked him why he was here tonight later, how would he explain?

"I won't have any peace from now on," the young man sighed mournfully.

Charles was indifferent:

"She can be here, why can't you? Just make up a reason."

Xu Mu's eyes lit up:

"Makes sense."

"Do you think he'll believe me if I say I came here sleepwalking?"

Charles sneered:

"Yes, just say that!"

"..."

Gray-white pupils ignored their boring conversation and stood calmly, meeting Yin Shuier's gaze.

He suddenly realized that her eyes were truly beautiful.

Yan Yu also remained silent.

His deep blue, dazzling eyes were fixed on the knife at Xu Mu's waist.

"It's him?"

"This is impossible!"

Yan Yu was shocked. Was this night watchman of Fengqing Village the powerful being with a similar cultivation path he had sensed before?

He had even clashed with him today!

"Come here quickly, what are you thinking!"

Yin Shuier thought Xu Mu was just a first-tier ability user and had no idea why he was here or how he could remain unharmed amidst such intense attacks.

She only knew she owed him a lot, so she fiercely pulled Yan Yu's arm, forcing the young man to stop for a moment.

Yan Yu looked down at his junior sister, then at Xu Mu standing calmly not far away.

Should he save him? Did he really need saving?

"They know each other?"

Vitalian, using his attention for two purposes, was about to intercept Yan Yu with all his might when he saw Yin Shuier talking to the swordsman.

She even called him Xu Mu.

So the old man hesitated and stopped.

"If they are old acquaintances, and I block her escape, will he hack me with his knife?"

Vitalian shuddered at the thought of that scenario.

He didn't want to experience such a chase again; it was too terrifying.

Besides, it was already like this tonight. Letting the swordsman go wouldn't be a big deal. As long as he successfully left via the teleportation array, there would be opportunities to avenge that sword strike in the future.

With this thought, he stopped paying attention to this side and attacked Yin Zhongxiu with all his might.

...

Gray-white pupils met Yin Shuier's gaze, and then a strange emotion arose in his heart.

They had just met in Heyun Village, and now they met again.

This should be described with the word "fate."

Thinking this, Gray-white pupils, slightly nervous, squeezed out a smile at the girl opposite him, like a puppet.

Charles held his forehead. This was even more robotic than him, a robot. It would be better not to smile.

Yin Shuier was stunned when she saw it.

"What are you laughing at!"

The girl turned her head in panic, glancing at the white mist behind her.

The tiger demon was less than a mile away from them.

And Xu Mu's body remained standing in place, showing no intention of moving forward to escape together.

Why should he run? There was no danger.

"It's too late!"

Yan Yu sensed the danger. The great demon would descend within three seconds at most, so he immediately grabbed Yin Shuier and rushed forward at full speed.

Yin Shuier looked back in panic, her eyes slightly red as she gazed at Xu Mu, her heart full of worry and confusion.

Why wasn't he running?

"Run quickly!"

The girl shouted with a crying voice.

But at this moment, an accident occurred.

Xu Mu's body was pushed out by a sudden figure.

Then a rune wrapped in elemental energy bombarded his body.

Bang!

With a light sound, Xu Mu's body flew uncontrollably into the air and then fell into the vast white mist.

The sky-shattering demonic energy spread, and the fourth-stage tiger demon had arrived.

Everyone was busy escaping, but Xu Mu still stared blankly at Yin Shuier.

Gray-white pupils remained unwavering.

Because she was truly beautiful.
