So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

As Yu Lingxi watched Ling Jiuan’s physical strength grow weaker and weaker, a hint of cruel pleasure flashed in his eyes.

She knew that now was the best time to attack Ling Jiuan with all her might and defeat her in one fell swoop.

So, she waved the black umbrella in her hand without hesitation, turned into a black vortex, and pounced towards Ling Jiuan.

However, at this critical moment, two long swords fell from the sky and barely blocked Yu Lingxi's attack.

The next moment, Liuzhu and Liuying appeared in front of Ling Jiuan. They held long swords in their hands with firm expressions, like two insurmountable fortresses, guarding Ling Jiuan behind them.

"Don't hurt my master!"

Liu Zhu said coldly, her voice full of determination and unquestionableness.

Liuying followed closely behind, her eyes flashing with anger and hostility, as if she was ready to compete with Yu Lingxi.

Seeing this, Yu Lingxi sneered, her eyes full of contempt and disdain.

"Two mere Yuanying early stage cultivators think they can stop us? They are courting death!"

There was a strong murderous intent in her words, as if she had already regarded Liu Zhu and Liu Ying as mortal enemies.

However, Liuzhu and Liuying were not intimidated by her aura.

They are well aware that their strength is far inferior to Yu Lingxi's, but even so, they will never back down easily.

Because they are Ling Jiuan's guards and the last line of defense to protect her.

Under the protection of Liuzhu and Liuying, Ling Jiuan finally got a chance to catch his breath.

She quickly took a pill to restore her strength, and felt a warm current flowing into her body. Her originally exhausted body instantly regained some strength.

She gripped the Akabane sword tightly again, her eyes sharp, as if she was ready to fight again.

With the addition of Liuzhu and Liuying, Jiuan's pressure was indeed reduced a lot.

The three of them stood back to back, forming an indestructible formation, and together they resisted the attacks from all sides.

However, even so, they still face huge challenges.

Because Yu Lingxi, Mr. Wei, and the controlled Master Lei are all powerful enemies.

Ling Jiuan knew very well that if he wanted to get out of the current predicament, he had to get rid of one of the enemies first.

So she targeted Mr. Wei and decided to start with him first.

She flashed, broke through the encirclement of the disciples, and went straight to Mr. Wei.

However, just as she was about to approach Mr. Wei, he suddenly curled his lips and smiled, as if he had seen through her intention.

The next moment, under the control of Yu Lingxi, Sect Master Lei suddenly attacked Ling Jiuan's back.

The attack came so suddenly that Jiuan had no time to dodge.

She only felt a powerful spiritual energy surging into her body, causing severe pain in her internal organs, and her body flew forward involuntarily.

Her heart tightened, knowing that she was in crisis.

However, at this critical moment of life and death, Liuzhu and Liuying stepped forward again.

They blocked the attacks of Sect Leader Lei and Mr. Wei on the left and right respectively, buying Ling Jiuan a chance to catch his breath.

Liu Zhu and Liu Ying stepped forward at the critical moment and blocked the attacks from Sect Master Lei and Mr. Wei for Ling Jiuan.

However, their distraction gave Yu Lingxi an opportunity to take advantage of.

Yu Lingxi sneered. She took advantage of the moment when Liuzhu and Liuying were distracted and swung the black umbrella in her hand violently.

The black umbrella turned into a black vortex and attacked Liu Zhu and Liu Ying directly with a fierce attack.

The two had no time to dodge and were hit by Yu Lingxi's attack.

They only felt a powerful spiritual energy surging into their bodies, causing severe pain in their internal organs and their bodies flew out involuntarily.

They fell to the ground, spitting blood, and were obviously seriously injured.

When Ling Jiuan saw this, his heart tightened.

She knew that Liuzhu and Liuying were injured to protect her, which filled her heart with guilt and anger.

She clenched her teeth, suppressed the pain in her heart, and gripped the Chiyu sword again, ready to attack Yu Lingxi.

However, Yu Lingxi seemed to see through her intentions.

She sneered and waved the black umbrella in her hand again, which turned into a black barrier and blocked Ling Jiuan.

At the same time, she also controlled Master Lei and Mr. Wei, asking them to continue attacking Ling Jiuan.

Ling Jiuan was surrounded by enemies and she knew she was in an unprecedented crisis.

However, she did not give up, but instead developed a stronger will to survive.

She tightly grasped the Akabane Sword, and moved among the crowd like a whirlwind, looking for an opportunity to break out.

Seeing that Ling Jiuan was surrounded and Liuzhu and Liuying were also injured, Yu Lingxi was convinced that Ling Jiuan was dead for sure.

So, she used her spiritual power and prepared to give Ling Jiuan a fatal blow to end the battle.

"Ling Jiuan, stop struggling!"

Yu Lingxi sneered, her voice filled with the pride and confidence of a winner.

"I'll leave you with an intact body, which is considered as a mercy to you."

However, Ling Jiuan did not give up resistance as she wished.

She looked up at Yu Lingxi, with a determined light in her eyes.

She knew that she couldn't give up just like that, otherwise, everything would be in vain.

So she raised her hand, swung the sword, and sword energy burst out.

Her swordsmanship is sharp and precise, and each sword contains infinite power.

The sword energy intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable net, attacking Yu Lingxi and others.

Seeing this, Yu Lingxi sneered.

She was not afraid of Ling Jiuan's attack, but instead felt that it was a futile struggle.

She waved the black umbrella in her hand, easily blocking Ling Jiuan's sword energy, and prepared to attack again.

However, at this moment, Ling Jiuan suddenly flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

She used her superb body skills to cleverly avoid the attacks of Yu Lingxi and others, and looked for an opportunity to break through.

Yu Lingxi and others were stunned for a moment, then they reacted and immediately chased in the direction where Ling Jiuan disappeared.

However, Ling Jiuan seemed to have blended into the night, leaving no trace, making him difficult for them to grasp.

At the critical moment, Ling Jiuan used his superb skills to escape from the encirclement of Lei Xiaozong disciples with Liu Zhu and Liu Ying.

They ran all the way, passed through numerous obstacles, and finally arrived at a secluded place in the back mountain.

At this time, Liuying had fainted due to serious injuries. Her face was pale and her breath was weak. It was obvious that she was at a critical moment of life and death.

Ling Jiuan's heart tightened. She knew that if Liuying could not be treated in time, she would be in great danger.

"Liu Zhu, go check on Liu Ying, how is she?"

Ling Jiuan asked anxiously, her voice filled with worry and uneasiness.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhu immediately squatted down and carefully checked Liu Ying's injuries.

Her brows were furrowed, her expression solemn. It was obvious that Liuying's injuries were more serious than she had imagined.
