Dream Picking Records

"Buzz!"

Just as Youyue was confirming Feishuo's fate, an inconspicuous, faint beam of light pierced through the void, shooting straight towards her forehead. Fortunately, she had diverted some of her attention to observe the movements of the other side, thus avoiding this extremely dangerous sneak attack.

"Despicable!" someone on the human side exclaimed indignantly.

"Despicable? Ha, we didn't agree to a fair one-on-one duel."

A man in a red robe walked out leisurely from the opposite side. He had a handsome appearance and a faint fragrance about him. He didn't look like a person on the ranking list at all.

“Fairy Youyue, I am Nangong Yuxi. Would you do me the honor of moving to another place, away from the hustle and bustle, to embrace the beauty of nature?” The man’s tone softened as he changed his words, his eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

Yu Yue instinctively met his eyes, then froze on the spot. The next second, she actually took a step and walked towards him.

"Oh no! It's Nangong Yuxi, who cultivates the dual cultivation demonic art. Once the demonic art is unleashed, no female cultivator with a lower cultivation level can escape his clutches!"

Amidst gasps of surprise, the distance between the two closed rapidly. Just as Nangong Yuxi was about to succeed, a sword light suddenly slashed between them, as if an invisible thread had been severed. Ning Ruowei, arm in arm with Youyue, pointed her sword at the other, standing between them.

"Another one delivered to my doorstep. It seems today is my lucky day, as I can enjoy the pleasures of two beauties!"

Nangong Yuxi calmly straightened her wind-blown clothes, then looked at the two men with the satisfaction and confidence of someone eyeing prey.

Ning Ruowei's face remained calm and composed, automatically ignoring the negative comments and launching the first offensive.

The two clashed fiercely, and dozens of rounds passed in the blink of an eye, with neither gaining the upper hand. However, Ning Ruowei was hampered by her inability to look her opponent in the eye, preventing her from exerting her full strength. In contrast, Nangong Yuxi maintained a faint smile on her face, showing no sign of urgency.

After several dozen more rounds, Ning Ruowei suddenly let out a soft moan, her body went limp, and her weapon fell from her hand to the ground.

"So that's what your methods are..."

"late!"

Nangong Yuxi revealed a triumphant smile, took a step forward and kidnapped Youyue and Ning Ruowei, then quickly retreated in front of everyone.

Seeing the situation rapidly deteriorate, Yang Shu'an and his companions, who had arrived at the front lines, tried to stop the attack but were swept away due to the difference in their cultivation levels. Simultaneously, members of the enemy camp stepped forward, blocking the pursuit of the others. The scene instantly transformed from a one-on-one battle into a chaotic free-for-all.

"Won't Prince Qianwu intervene to rescue your daughter?"

On the city wall, seeing that the other party seemed unmoved, An Quan further provoked, "Nangong Yuxi has long been known for her lewdness. If we don't capture her, we can imagine what will happen to them."

“Everyone has their own destiny. Ruowei grew up in the military camp since childhood and has long been prepared to serve the country loyally. If I act because of personal feelings, what about the other young people who sacrificed their lives?” Qianwu Wang’s fingers clenched unconsciously behind his back, but he did not move an inch.

"I've long heard that Prince Qianwu is selfless, and seeing it today confirms it. But even if you don't think about your daughter, you should at least think about the Star Moon Sect. The best disciples of two generations, one is seriously injured and the other has been kidnapped. How are we going to explain this to their sect leader in the future? Hehe, if you rescue your daughter while you're at it, I think no one else will have anything to say."

An Quan was still dawdling when suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the horizon. Listening closely, it sounded more like a sneeze, only as loud as thunder, deafeningly so.

"I thought it was a little girl, but it turns out to be a sissy. He's covered in powder, which made me... ah... yawn!"

The two sides in the midst of the battle turned their heads to look up at the sky, where they saw a huge black shadow that blotted out the sun.

"boom!"

A figure fell like a meteor, smashing a deep crater into the ground.

"Is it...Nangong Yuxi?"

Someone vaguely saw the person's face.

"Damn it! You ruined my plans!"

The carefully laid-out plan was interrupted by unforeseen circumstances, making An Quan so angry that his teeth itched, and his face was so gloomy it could drip water.

"Wow, it's so lively here. Looks like I'm not too late."

The shadowy figure shrank to become a man, with two women beside him, namely You Yue and Ning Ruowei, further confirming the identity of the person in the pit.

"Thank you, Brother Bai, you've come at just the right time." Ning Ruowei regained her mobility and revealed Nangong Yuxi's secret: "Those eyes are just an aid; his real method is his scent. It's ineffective against men, but if a woman inhales too much, her movements will be restricted."

"No wonder, they used underhanded methods."

"You little thief, give me back my son's life!"

As soon as Bai Shu finished speaking, a huge dark golden rat pounced on him like a madman.

"What a huge rat!" Bai Shu pushed Ning Ruowei to a safe position, first surprised, then vague memories surfaced in his mind.

"I remember now, I did step on and kill one that looked similar once when I was passing by."

"Ugh! I'm so angry!"

Beneath the giant, dark golden rat was a middle-aged man with shifty, rat-like eyes. He was so angry that his beard was trembling. After his first attack failed, he quickly adjusted and launched another all-out attack.

Excitement gleamed in Bai Shu's eyes as he revealed his true form to face the enemy.

The black tiger reappeared, its massive claws slamming down with overwhelming force on the dark gold rat's seemingly sun-devouring maw. The dark gold rat, failing to retaliate on its second attack, launched a third fierce assault. This time, it again chose to meet the attack head-on.

Bai Zhu was happy to oblige. After letting out a roar, his blood energy was further stimulated. Under the sunlight, the hair all over his body flowed with a dazzling luster, as hard as diamond.

After a fierce battle, the Dark Gold Rat was in dire straits, forced to retreat step by step, its claws falling off one by one, and it seemed that it was about to be defeated.

"Squeak~ Squeak~ Squeak~"

Suddenly, three short, rapid, strange cries resounded throughout the heavens and earth, making people feel uneasy, dizzy, and their minds blank.

Bai Shu, who was swinging his claws, stopped moving, his muscles went limp, and his fighting spirit instantly collapsed.

"Hmph! You little punk, you're still too green to fight me!"

The dark gold giant rat, who had just been beaten so badly he couldn't lift his head, straightened his chest, but the grimacing expression on his face proved that he had indeed suffered serious injuries in the previous battle.

"My son! Your father has avenged you!"

"rub!"

His right claws grew new nails, each one as sharp as a blade. The next second, they carried a gale-force wind that tore through space, about to slit Bai Shu's throat.

"Oops!"

Ning Ruowei, who was closest to Bai Shu, had just regained consciousness after being affected by the strange screams, only to find that the situation had reversed and Bai Shu was in danger. It was too late for her to help.

"Heh, you ruined my plans. Dying is already too good for you!"

An Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to plot how to lure Qianwu King to his doom.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, signifying that the Dark Gold Rat's attack had landed. However, the scene of a severed head did not unfold; instead, only another pair of broken fingernails appeared.

"how come!"

The Dark Gold Rat's eyes widened, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't understand why the young man directly opposite him hadn't been hit. Logically speaking, even a seasoned veteran would find it difficult to defend against such a surprise attack.

Bai Shu opened his eyes, a black brick in his hand flew and smashed into his head, causing a dent, accompanied by splashes of various colored liquids.

"A cunning old fox, yet he couldn't figure things out. Has he forgotten that Shuo Liao was defeated by me?"

Without further ado, Bai Zhu followed up with a set of combined punches.
