I long to return home!

Lick the dog?

Jin Lingjiao was puzzled by Xue Wu's words, as she had never heard him mention them before. She asked softly, "What is a 'simp'?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Wu pointed at Shangguan Tou in front of him and said, "That's a simp."

"What do you mean by 'simp'?"

"Oh, you like him?" Xue Wu asked casually.

"I don't like it," Jin Lingjiao quickly shook her head in rejection.

"So, is he relentlessly pursuing you?"

After a moment of contemplation, Jin Lingjiao nodded repeatedly.

"Then you understand, right? You don't like him, but he likes you and keeps pestering you. That's called a 'simp,' understand?" Xue Wu gestured with his fingers a few times, emphasizing the word "simp."

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Shangguan Tou was furious and shouted, "Enough!"

"Xiao Jin, what's wrong with me? Do you think I should change careers?" Shangguan Tou asked humbly.

"I told you I don't like you, and don't call me Xiao Jin anymore. I have a name, and my name is Jin Lingjiao." Jin Lingjiao pressed her chest tightly against Xue Wu's arm and stuck her tongue out at Shangguan Tou.

Xue Wu felt a warmth in his arm, his face flushed slightly, and he shyly turned his head away.

"Xiao Jin, why don't you like me? We've known each other longer than this kid. What do I lack compared to him? Cultivation, power... I can give you anything you want." Shangguan Tou was somewhat deranged, watching the woman he loved beside another man.

"If you don't like it, you just don't like it. Why are there so many whys? Is it because you've known each other for a long time? Aren't you always bothering me?" Jin Lingjiao retorted, pursing her red lips.

Xue Wu stood quietly, enjoying the gossip. First, he enjoyed his own gossip, and now there was such explosive gossip, which he had only ever seen in TV dramas before. He almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I'll say it again, I don't like you," Jin Lingjiao said slowly, especially at the end to make sure someone could hear her clearly. Then she pulled Xue Wu and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the blood sword soared into the air and blocked Jin Lingjiao's path. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Shangguan Tou's "Blood Dragon".

"If you can't give me a reason today, I won't let you leave." Shangguan Tou's gaze turned cold as he looked at Jin Lingjiao, who was about to leave.

The pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage spiritual power swept over, completely cutting off Jin Lingjiao's path. Seeing this, she lightly licked her lips, her cheeks slightly flushed, as if she was unwilling to say it. Then she looked at Xue Wu with affection.

Xue Wu also noticed the intense gaze, blinked to indicate that he understood. He had originally planned to leave after explaining once, but he didn't expect the other party to be so extreme, even blocking his way. So he decided to suffer a little loss. The smile on his lips was harder to suppress than AK.

He pulled Jin Lingjiao tightly into his arms, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he looked at the shocked Shangguan Tou: "Because he's my woman, understand?"

Jin Lingjiao was stunned. She never expected Xue Wu to say that. She lowered her head shyly, her fingers fidgeting and tearing at the hem of her clothes.

To make the act more realistic, Xue Wu brought his face close to Jin Lingjiao's and mocked, "Don't believe me? I'll make Lingjiao kiss you, then you'll believe me?" He felt incredibly pleased looking at the dumbfounded Shangguan Tou; he never dared to dream of such a scenario.

He had only meant to annoy Shangguan Tou and said that on purpose, but he never expected to feel a heat on his cheek. Jin Lingjiao had actually kissed him. His pupils widened suddenly, and he turned his head in disbelief. Jin Lingjiao was already blushing and had buried her face in his arms.

Shangguan Tou witnessed all of this. His Dao Heart was damaged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. A few breaths later, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glared at Xue Wu, and had nowhere to put his killing intent: "You have disturbed my Dao Heart. Today, you will die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Dragon Sword flashed with bloody light and went straight for Xue Wu. The sound of the sword cutting through the air rang out. Xue Wu quickly pushed away the shy Jin Lingjiao and turned around to dodge.

"Are you crazy? You don't like me, so you're going to kill me?"

"You will die today!" Shangguan Tou took the Blood Dragon Sword, stroked the blade, and felt his blood energy surge. He heard a series of dragon roars, and with his toes stepping on the ground, he was in front of Xue Wu in the blink of an eye. He did not hold back and stabbed Xue Wu with his sword.

Clang!

A murderous aura forced Shangguan Tou back several meters. Xue Wu's forehead flashed with a blood-red mark, and the Blood Demon Halberd appeared in his hand, its murderous aura swirling around him.

A murderous glint appeared in his eyes, and he became unusually fierce.

"Ling Jiao...you should leave here first..." Xue Wu said calmly, forcing himself to remain rational.

The murderous aura that had just begun to subside was now reignited, and reason was gradually being taken over by bloodlust.

"You wicked weapon! Hmph, you evil demon, today I will surely slay you!" Shangguan Tou's body swayed, and his sword flashed with fire as he charged towards Xue Wu once more.

"Heavenly Fire Spreads Across the Plains!"

"Heavenly fire spreads across the plains, flames soar to the heavens; I summon heavenly fire to burn away all evil."

The Blood Dragon Sword was enveloped in flames. With a single slash, the entire mountain was engulfed in flames, and even the houses were being burned.

He had just intended to suppress the evil energy, but now that his family was truly being persecuted, Xue Wu had no room to stay. The evil energy was fully formed, and he gripped his halberd with both hands, unleashing the "Burning Heaven Slash" with a single strike.

boom!

The two divine weapons clashed, each being sent flying several meters. In terms of weapon flames, Xue Wu's was undoubtedly superior, with the Blood Demon Halberd suppressing the Blood Dragon Sword to some extent. However, in terms of cultivation, Shangguan Tou was far more formidable, possessing a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level and powerful techniques, leaving him with no reason to lose.

But the result was unexpected. Xue Wu was seriously injured, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth. Shangguan Tou was not better off either. The powerful baleful aura of the Blood Demon Halberd sent him flying, and he crashed into the house with a thud.

The house, already burned, crumbled and collapsed under the impact. He staggered to his feet, looking at Xue Wu with disbelief. He took off his hair ornament, his long, blood-red hair dancing wildly in the flames.

Next, he was determined to use all his strength and hold nothing back. He made a hand seal with one hand, and the ground began to shake as he unleashed the earth-based technique "Rock Flow".

With the ground shaking, Xue Wu could only plant the Blood Demon Halberd in the ground to steady himself. In an instant, before he could recover, soil spikes emerged from the ground.

He let out a painful howl as the earth spikes pierced his body. He swung his blood-stained halberd, shattering the earth spikes, and collapsed to his knees, unable to bear the weight.

Jin Lingjiao's eyes showed fear as she came to Xue Wu's side, helped him up, and then stared fiercely at Shangguan Tou who was walking towards her, reaching out to protect him.

"What are you trying to do? If you have a problem, come at me!"

Shangguan Tou smiled, lifted Jin Lingjiao's chin, and said calmly, "I said you were mine, but now I'm going to eliminate this evil spirit."

"Take your claws off her face!" Xue Wu roared, wielding his halberd to interrupt Shangguan Tou's provocation, and then swung his halberd to collide with her.

Suddenly, the blood-red patterns on his body lit up, and crimson armor adhered to his body, increasing his power several times over.

"Blood Demon Armor!"

With each step Xue Wu took, the ground cracked open, pulling Shangguan Tou with him as they plunged off the cliff.
