Shen Yuan Ring

Ji Daoyi ultimately chose to proceed according to the original plan. Although Yao Yuyao was somewhat worried about this, she could not persuade Ji Daoyi of any reason.

After walking for a while,

They arrived at the place where Yao Yuyao and her friend were dividing the gifts. Following the trail of blood, she found a bloodstained shoe in the grass nearby.

“These are the shoes Sister Qin is wearing!”

She picked up the shoes, tears streaming down her face, but she couldn't stop crying out loud!

Ji Zihan walked to her side, patted her back and said, "Sister Yuyao, if you want to cry, just cry! Time flies, and your sister Qin doesn't want you to live in pain forever."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yuyao finally couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears!

Her crying continued for quite some time, and Ji Daoyi and the others did not make a sound to disturb her.

Suddenly, the Iron-Eating Beast let out a warning sound, indicating that other demonic beasts were approaching them!

Everyone quickly and swiftly dispersed, as if by unspoken agreement.

After a while

Three adult tigers charged toward them, but when they saw that they had set up a defense and that there was also an iron-eating beast beside them, they quickly stopped in their tracks!

"Brother Dao, it's a three-headed tiger at the Tendon Refining Realm. Don't worry about leaving it to us. You can stay behind and hold the line."

Ji Daoyi looked behind them and found that there were no other demonic beasts, then nodded in agreement.

"okay!"

As soon as Ji Xiaohu finished speaking, Ji Zihan, Sun Puyue, and he each chose a beast tiger. The Iron-Eating Beast and the others did not come out to help.

Yao Yuyao, who had just been crying, was stopped in tears by the sudden arrival of the beast tiger.

She was also surprised, not expecting that several people younger than her would not be afraid of monsters stronger than themselves and would bravely rush forward to fight them one-on-one.

Have they always been this brave?

Their cultivation levels were roughly the same, so if she encountered a demon beast alone, her first reaction would definitely be to run away, because in the past, even if there was danger, someone would always take care of her.

Yao Yuyao's heart was filled with complex emotions at this moment. These people were no less important than her, but they were braver than her when facing the demon beasts.

She had always thought that all she needed to do was refine the elixirs, and that others would take care of everything else for her. But today she realized how powerless she was when she was alone and facing danger.

Only with sufficient strength can one calmly face various challenges, be fearless, and forge ahead.

Ji Daoyi was not idle either. Although he was very confident in the strength of Xiao Hu and the other two, he still dared not slack off in the slightest, and his eyes kept switching back and forth between the three of them.

Before anyone knew it, Yao Yuyao had come to her senses and asked Ji Daoyi, "Ji Daoyi, are you really so sure that you're letting them face monsters with higher cultivation levels than them? Aren't you afraid something might happen?"

"Fear? Of course I'm afraid! But I'd rather believe in them. Their fate should be in their own hands, not just blindly protected. We all need to grow, don't we?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Yuyao nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, she even wondered if Yaoqin would have been spared death if she had such strength.

While Yao Yuyao was pondering, the battle between Ji Xiaohu and the other two and the demonic beast had entered a fierce stage.

Ji Xiaohu has lost his initial energy and seems to be increasingly lacking in stamina.

The battle was gradually losing ground, and it was estimated that he would be defeated soon.

Compared to Ji Xiaohu, Ji Zihan and Sun Puyue are in better condition and are currently in the upper hand. If the pace of the battle can continue, they should be able to win soon.

Of course, the biggest factor is that the cultivation level of the beast tigers they fought was two minor realms lower than that of Ji Xiaohu.

Ji Xiaohu, at the early stage of the Tendon Refining realm, was already quite strong to have fought the fully refined Tendon Refining realm for several tens of minutes without being defeated. If it weren't for his Yuan Qi recovery not being able to keep up with the consumption, he could have continued fighting the beast tiger indefinitely.

Seeing that Ji Daoyi had no intention of helping Ji Xiaohu, who was at a disadvantage, Yao Yuyao asked with some concern, "Ji Daoyi, Xiaohu is almost dead, why aren't you going to help him? Are you just going to watch him get injured by the monster?"

Faced with Yao Yuyao's questioning, Ji Dao didn't even turn his head and said, "No rush. Xiao Hu himself hasn't asked for help, which means he has the strength to continue fighting. If we suddenly make a move now, it will disrupt his fighting rhythm and put him in more danger."

"But...."

Ji Daoyi interrupted her, "Miss Yuyao, please don't interfere with my judgment. Xiaohu is my brother, and I think I'm more worried about his safety than you are!"

At this moment, Ji Daoyi finally understood why the Yao family, one of the five major powers, was being hunted down by demonic beasts.

At the same time, he became even more determined to follow the path of the strong. Even if he followed his master to cultivate in the future, he would still put cultivation first, and alchemy would only be a secondary priority.

Yao Yuyao was also taken aback by Ji Daoyi's sudden interruption.

She thought to herself, "Yes, what right do I, an outsider, have to judge them? What he said isn't without reason. Ji Xiaohu is his brother, and they've been together much longer than I have. I'm just a passerby who has entered their world."

Ji Xiaohu's attacks were losing momentum, while the beast tiger's offensive was getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly, he took out the Dragon Sparrow Blade from his storage bag.

Upon seeing this, Ji Daoyi's previously calm expression turned serious. He knew that Ji Xiaohu had taken out the Dragon Sparrow Blade because he wanted to use that move to end the battle. However, if the Beast Tiger was not dealt with after that move, he would also lose the chance to fight back.

However, Ji Daoyi did not stop him. He also wanted to see how well Xiao Hu had practiced his One-Word Slash.

Ji Xiaohu wasn't very confident in his "One-Word Slash" at this moment, because he had only practiced it before and had never actually used it in real combat. If it weren't for the fact that he was facing someone two minor levels higher than him today, he would still be unable to win despite trying various methods.

Looking at the battles of the other two, he saw that he was already firmly in the lead. This fueled his competitive spirit, forcing him to unleash his trump card, "One-Word Slash".

He took out the Dragon Sparrow Blade, but did not immediately unleash the "One-Word Slash". Instead, he kept looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to kill with one blow.

They fought for a while longer, and just as the beast tiger was about to charge at him again, Ji Xiaohu finally found an opportunity and shouted, "Slash!"

The Dragon Sparrow Blade was instantly drawn, and a chilling aura flashed from the blade. Ji Xiaohu slid down from the beast tiger's body.

After passing through the beast tiger, Ji Xiaohu knelt on one knee, his right hand gripping the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Blade tightly, the tip of the blade embedded firmly in the ground to prevent him from collapsing immediately after exhausting himself.

The tiger that brushed past him stood motionless, like a statue.
