I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Mirage Dragon."

? !

Hearing these words from Wen Xintong was quite alarming. From her words, it was clear that the Mirage Dragon might still be lingering here!

Seeing everyone reacting like startled birds, Wen Xintong was also frightened and added, "It's just a scent..."

Mu Mu looked at her seriously, her body tense, her supernatural power already being activated in secret. "Where?"

"Just after...?!"

boom!

When Ye Qianxue came to her senses, she realized that her situation was very bad. An irresistible force shattered everything in her body, and the excruciating pain almost caused her brain to shut down completely.

She looked up to examine her injuries, the last thought that flashed through her mind being:

"I was... cut in half?"

44. Danger

"?!"

Time is stopped here—

In front of Mu Mu, Ye Qianxue was suddenly blasted away by a terrifying force, a scene that seemed to invade Mu Mu's brain like darkness.

"Qianxue—!"

Almost instantly, Mu Mu's body bypassed his brain and reacted directly, catching Ye Qianxue as she flew through the air.

Mo Sheng instantly transformed into a blazing purple sun, centered on himself, releasing terrifying destructive rays to buy time for Mu Mu and Ye Qianxue.

Her face was filled with shock. What had just happened was like a clip suddenly edited onto this trajectory. By the time she came to her senses, it had already happened.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

In an instant, the sky was shrouded in a mist, as if a hazy, illusory world had collided and merged with the real world, and the familiar scenery now felt strange.

Quickly, the fog reduced visibility to less than five meters. Before that, Mo Sheng had brought Wen Xintong and Mu Mu together.

"I told you, one day you will pay a thousandfold price for this..."

A clear voice echoed through the mist.

The moment the sound appeared, the mist, which had been as light as a feather, seemed to become heavy, its oppressive force omnipresent, causing all evil to retreat.

"Mirage Dragon..."

Mo Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted, her face filled with unease. She had heard Qing's voice in the Seventh District before, and it was exactly the same as the one she heard now.

Qing's attack came too suddenly. Even though the three ninth-level beings were on guard, they still couldn't react in time and paid the price of one of them dying.

On the other side, Mu Mu looked at Ye Qianxue's injuries and felt a little flustered.

This petite girl had a hole the size of a human head in her abdomen. All the flesh, organs, and bones in that area had been reduced to nothingness by that immense force. When Mu Mu caught her, her body was completely folded in half, and she had lost all feeling below the waist. That's why Ye Qianxue thought she had been cut in half at the waist.

While it wasn't completely cut in half, it was pretty close.

Ye Qianxue's body was held together by only one side of her flesh, and it looked like it could break off at any moment. If it weren't for her resilient body, she probably would be gone by now.

"Evacuate first!"

Trying to settle scores now will only send Ye Qianxue into her death countdown. Mu Mu calmly analyzed the situation, suppressed the urge to fight Qing to the death, and decided to take Ye Qianxue away urgently.

However, the oppressive atmosphere of the fog made the space incredibly viscous and sluggish, like walking on superglue. It took Mu Mu more than ten times the usual effort to tear open a spatial rift.

Before they could even enter, the oppressive feeling of the mist suddenly intensified, and Mu Mu and Mo Sheng hurriedly set up defenses.

boom!

The sky shattered into countless unequal pieces of glass, and the combined defenses of the two powerful Void Realm cultivators crumbled. Fortunately, Mu Mu managed to pull everyone into his Milky Way Domain at the crucial moment; otherwise, the number of wounded would have increased even further.

Even so, the Milky Way Realm was like a shell about to break, cracking inch by inch. Mu Mu realized that he couldn't wait any longer, so he steered the Milky Way Realm into the void.

With the rumbling subsiding, Mo Sheng and Mu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Xintong, however, seemed stunned by the sudden attack, remaining motionless as if she had lost her soul.

"Sister Qianxue?"

Mo Sheng and Mu Mu both gathered around Ye Qianxue, feeling heartbroken at the sight of her miserable state.

“Mirage, Dragon!” Mu Mu’s eyes were filled with extremely terrifying negative emotions, a product of a mixture of mad violence, self-blame, and fear.

As negative emotions entangled, Mu Mu's aura began to become wild and unpredictable.

"I won't die for now..."

Ye Qianxue tried to comfort her in a lighthearted manner, but she didn't realize that her voice was so soft that it was barely audible, and her face was contorted with pain.

Fortunately, her physical strength was comparable to SSS level. If the target had been different, one of Mu Mu and Mo Sheng would have died on the spot without any chance of being saved.

If that's the case, then Ye Qianxue will be satisfied.

At least... no one else will die...

"Wake up!"

Seeing Ye Qianxue's eyes gradually close, Mu Mu's breathing almost stopped as well. He grabbed her hand, trying to hold onto her soul in this way.

Her wound was bleeding at an alarming rate, completely staining Mu Mu's clothes red. Mu Mu wanted to press the wound with her hand, but the wound was too big, and she didn't know where to put her hand.

From that moment on, Mu Mu realized that the person in his arms was like a flower that would wither easily, so light that he could not feel her weight and was about to lose his grip on her.

If it were the medical corps' approach, they would simply cut off the remaining flesh and burn the wound, but Mu Mu couldn't do that.

Oh! Right, right! I still have that!

Mu Mu frantically pulled out the 'mana-replenishing liquid' he had collected from Xiao Ze from his pocket and poured it into Ye Qianxue's mouth as if it were free, and also sprinkled it on Ye Qianxue's wounds.

This was even more effective than a spring after a drought. The necrotic muscle tissue near the wound immediately regained its vitality, and Ye Qianxue's pale face, which was as white as a sheet of paper, was filled with rosy color, proving that life was still alive.

Mu Mu covered her mouth, choking back tears as she said, "Let's go back, let's go back now, you have to hold on!"

"Hmm... Qianxue, take a nap..."

Having received such a vital spring of nourishment, Ye Qianxue wanted to seize the opportunity to repair some important tissues in her body.

As Si Mo's daughter, she not only inherited Si Mo's physical qualities but also her powerful recovery ability, making her virtually indestructible in the short term.

The Milky Way Realm swiftly traversed the void, covering tens of thousands of meters in an instant. Mu Mu had never felt so focused before, his entire being immersed in speed.

boom!

The Milky Way Realm trembled violently and shattered completely at that moment. Mu Mu protected the group as they emerged from the void and saw Qing, who was clinging to the Milky Way Realm like a shadow.

They were then surprised to realize that they were still within the fog's reach, as if the fog had reduced the traversable distance of space to an extremely low level.

"Get out of here!!!"

With bloodshot eyes, Mu Mu launched a near-suicidal attack on Xiang Qing, showing a willingness to die. Mo Sheng, on the other hand, was responsible for protecting Ye Qianxue and Wen Xintong and was also launching an attack on Xiang Qing.

However, all of this is futile.

The Mirage Dragon's power was too great for them to resist. Back then, even with ten ninth-level cultivators and Yan Shan surrounding and attacking it, they were still at a disadvantage. Now, even with only two ninth-level cultivators in the Void Spirit Realm, they were still no match for it and were forced to retreat steadily, falling into an absolute disadvantage.

"Mu Mu, you take the men and leave first!"

Mo Sheng gave no chance to refuse, and his whole being exuded an extremely terrifying aura, which allowed him to withstand the attack of the mirage dragon for a moment.

"Let's all die."

Qing's voice was cold and ruthless. In a flash, a colossal creature filled the entire sky.

boom--!

The dragon's hundreds-of-meters-long body crashed in, and the air, unable to escape, shattered into countless smaller atomic structures in this terrifying violence. Even the sequence-level dragons were helpless, and Mo Sheng was unable to stop it.

"Get back!"

A crystal-clear and magnificent barrier, seemingly spanning countless ages, instantly appeared before Mo Sheng, completely blocking the mirage dragon's terrifying power.

The moment they collided, an explosion that surpassed everything else erupted, and the world went blank.

45. Qing's test

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the world's 'outer skin' peeled away, revealing patches of black hole-like nothingness. Even time itself seemed to shorten by a few microseconds in this terrifying collision.

Click... Click click...

The Elemental Wall, a supreme creation on par with the Elemental Spirits, was completely shattered by the impact, and the Mirage Dragon's enormous body was pushed a thousand meters away by the rebounding lightning.

Yan Ziming's powerful aura descended from the sky, like a ray of light suddenly appearing in the dark night, tearing through layers of fog and crashing fiercely into this void world.

Immediately following, another powerful aura appeared, the sacred feeling of the five-colored light intertwined with the thunder, creating an invincible momentum.

"How are you all...?!"

Yan Ziming abruptly turned his head away, choking before he could finish speaking.

She saw her younger sister lying in Mu Mu's arms, almost dying.

If she weren't still breathing, Yan Ziming would have thought she was dead.

Time was of the essence for her, and she steeled herself and shouted, "You all go first, Xiaoze!"
