Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

She carefully dug up the Crimson Flame Flower, roots and all, and placed it in a specially made jade box. This jade box was made of thousand-year-old cold jade, which could preserve the medicinal properties of the herb.

Just as Shen Yunxi was about to leave, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. She turned around abruptly and saw a man dressed in black who had appeared behind her at some point.

"Master, be careful!" Xue Rong's voice was filled with anxiety: "This person's aura is very strange, I sense danger! Moreover, he is very well hidden, I have not been able to detect his presence at all! I feel that he is even more dangerous than the Crimson Flame Golden Lion Beast."

"Coward, look at you, you wimp." Lan Yu said disdainfully, "No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than me? I am the ancient divine beast Ice Phoenix, how could I fear a mere human!"

"Master, Master!" Xue Rong called out twice, her voice filled with anxiety, but Shen Yunxi seemed not to hear her and did not react at all. It flashed its light twice more, trying to attract Shen Yunxi's attention, but Shen Yunxi still did not respond.

Seeing that Xue Rong's anxious calls for her master went unanswered, Lan Yu felt a sense of foreboding. The two beasts' eyes met, and they both saw the same terror in each other's eyes: Shen Yunxi was shrouded in a transparent membrane, which was clearly some kind of powerful barrier, trapping their master firmly within it.

Shen Yunxi, still within the barrier, was unaware of this. She looked up at the man and saw that he was tall and handsome, yet possessed a chilling aura. He held a black longsword in his hand, the blade radiating a terrifying demonic energy.

"Who are you?" Shen Yunxi asked warily, while secretly mobilizing her spiritual power, ready to strike at any moment.

A wicked smile curled at the corner of the man's lips: "You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I want what's on you."

Shen Yunxi sneered: "You? You've got quite the nerve."

The man's eyes turned cold, and with a swift swing of his longsword, a black sword aura, carrying a sharp killing intent, hurtled straight toward Shen Yunxi.

"Master, be careful!" Xue Rong's voice trembled, filled with worry and anxiety. This sudden appearance of the man in black was unfathomable in strength, and the aura he exuded made it feel a suffocating pressure. It instinctively sensed that Shen Yunxi's safety was under great threat.

Facing the menacing black sword energy, Shen Yunxi dared not be careless in the slightest. With a flick of her wrist, the Heavenly Profound Sword emitted a crisp sword cry and instantly drew from its sheath. A chilling aura, accompanied by a snow-white sword energy, rushed towards the black sword energy like a sudden blizzard.

Two sword energies of completely different colors met in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. The powerful impact caused the surrounding trees to shake violently, as if they would be uprooted at any moment.

Shen Yunxi was shocked; this man's strength was so formidable! She dared not hold back any longer and poured all her spiritual power into the Heavenly Profound Sword. The sword emitted a dazzling light, like the cold moon in the heavens, illuminating the entire valley.

"Die!" Shen Yunxi shouted, and the Heavenly Profound Sword, carrying a world-destroying aura, slashed fiercely at the man in black.

Just then, the man in black suddenly disappeared from the spot, and Shen Yunxi's attack missed. She was slightly taken aback, and then looked around warily.

"Are you looking for me?" A cold voice came from behind Shen Yunxi.
