Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

"drink!"

With a low shout, Lu Yunshi focused his mind and gathered his energy, then suddenly exerted force with both arms, throwing both demonic beasts more than ten meters away.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yunshi swiftly threw a talisman at the two demonic beasts. The talisman flashed with a bright light and then erupted with a huge shockwave, leaving the two rock-armored tigers momentarily stunned.

This force, given that it now only has one-fifth of its original strength, is quite incredible.

"You two, run!" Lu Yunshi turned back to look at Lanlan and the other girl, telling them to leave quickly.

Noticing Lu Yunshi's clothes, Lanlan realized that he was also a primary school student like herself, which surprised her. After hearing what he said, she hesitated.

"But... if we stay, perhaps we can..."

"Sure my ass." Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Yunshi ruthlessly interrupted him. He took out four talismans that had already been burned from his body and threw them on the ground. Two were Giant Strength Talismans and two were Iron Body Talismans. These were the reasons why he was able to block the Rock Armor Tiger's attack earlier.

"In your current state, staying here will only be a burden. Get out of here and stop causing trouble. Just give me my talisman when I get back."

Upon hearing this and seeing the remains of the four used talismans on the ground, Lanlan realized that her earlier idea of ​​joining forces with the other party to deal with the Rock Armor Tiger was unnecessary. Without any further hesitation, she exchanged a glance with the red-haired woman and the two quickly fled.

"They actually ran away, without even saying they'd come back to help. I think we really saved two ungrateful wretches this time." Lu Yunshi turned to look at Yan Jiahu, his expression solemn, and held his own Lanlan in his hand.

"Now I'm the one in danger."

"Big brother, I'm sorry." Hearing Lu Yunshi's words, Long Lingling lowered her head again. She knew that Lu Yunshi would not have appeared if it weren't for her.

"There's nothing I can do. My older brother is a good person, and he can't bear to see a fool like you die because of your stupidity," Lu Yunshi said with a smile, before his expression turned serious.

"Lingling, remember what your big brother said. Once he's subdued them, you find a chance to run away immediately, understand?"

"Huh?" Long Lingling shook her head immediately, not expecting that her older brother wanted her to abandon him and run away. "No, no, how can I abandon my older brother and run away?"

"What can you do if you don't run? Stand here and cry? Will crying defeat them?"

"Or are you going to lay a hand on them? Don't blame me for not warning you, these two monsters are many times more ferocious than the ones you've encountered before. They won't die just because you close your eyes and throw a punch." Lu Yunshi's pupils contracted, and his gaze at Long Lingling was extremely sharp, completely different from the kind and amiable older brother in Long Lingling's memory, now filled with a coldness.

"I..." Long Lingling wanted to say she could, but the words caught in her throat. Before, when she attacked, she hadn't even dared to open her eyes, and she almost killed her older brother. This time...

Seeing this, Lu Yunshi smiled knowingly. "Don't worry, your big brother won't blame you. The fear in your heart can't be overcome overnight. Just leave now. Your big brother will protect you this time, but remember, next time... you'll have to rely on yourself."

After saying that, Lu Yunshi stepped forward. The two demonic beasts had just recovered and shook their heads violently, letting out a roar at Lu Yunshi.

"Two of them are really tough to deal with. In my current state, even if I use all my skills, I probably won't be able to win. If I had that crossbow, it would be much easier. It's a pity that it was sent to the old blacksmith for repair."

'But it doesn't matter, your purpose isn't to be defeated by me.'

As he pondered, Lu Yunshi gave the two demonic beasts a faint smile, as if mocking them. The fur on the two beasts stood on end again, and with a whoosh, they suddenly attacked.

Seeing this, Lu Yunshi slowly raised his long sword, his mind returning to calm, and a chill suddenly descended upon the surroundings.

Although it was winter, the sun was still shining brightly in the sky. However, after Lu Yunshi raised his sword, the temperature within a ten-meter radius around him suddenly dropped, and a cold current appeared out of nowhere.

"You are the most suitable to help me verify the power of this sword technique."

Lu Yunshi flashed a cold light, drawing a wisp of cold air into his body and sweeping it out using the circulation method of the Emperor Ice Sword Technique.

In an instant, the sword tip froze, and the cold air gathered. With a flash of sword light, it flew away and fought fiercely with the two demonic beasts.

The cold sword energy surged continuously, but it was blocked by the fur of the two demonic beasts. However, soon, the cold energy on the sword energy continued to climb and spread, causing ice to condense on the bodies of the demonic beasts. Their fur was no longer sharp, their bodies trembled, and their movements became sluggish, forcing them to stop their attack.

At this moment, the power of the sword energy dissipated in mid-air, turning into specks of cold stars that scattered to the ground.

The powerful damage skill only produced a strong control effect this time, but Lu Yunshi was prepared for it and didn't feel anything was wrong.

As the sword energy dissipated, Lu Yunshi knelt on the ground as if he had exhausted all his strength, while the two demonic beasts opposite him were still trying their best to break through the thin ice on their bodies. Their claws kept extending and retracting. Although their movements were slow, it seemed that they could not hold them off for long.

"Big brother!" Seeing her big brother looking so weak, Long Lingling couldn't help but call out.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to run? Go!" Lu Yunshi turned around and angrily scolded Long Lingling in a low voice.

"But......"

"Let's go." Lu Yunshi suddenly changed his serious expression and revealed a forced smile. "Big brother can't run away now, listen to me, time is running out, let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yunshi collapsed to the ground.

"me..."

Looking at the scene before her, Long Lingling's mind went blank, but her feet wouldn't move. Her heart was instantly filled with all sorts of emotions, but the most prominent of these emotions was fear.

Fear of the monster before them.

Fear of the monster within

They also fear loss.

"Roar!"

After an unknown amount of time, the two demonic beasts finally broke free of their restraints, their bloodthirsty eyes fixed on the fallen Lu Yunshi.

At this moment, they are very angry and want to eat people.

The Rock Armor Tiger, at the mid-stage of Body Tempering, took a step toward Lu Yunshi in anger, only to find a figure blocking its way.

"No, you're done playing, right?"

The Rock Armor Tiger, at the mid-stage of Body Tempering, raised its head, its anger from the endless harassment by these humans growing even stronger. But before it could make any move, it was slammed into the face by a fist.

"You're not allowed to lay a hand on...big brother!"
