A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

The figure in black robes flashed and appeared strangely in front of Jiang Ye, grabbing him by the neck with astonishing speed.

Jiang Ye felt his breath catch in his throat, his vision went black, and he almost died on the spot.

"Sister Li, help...help me!" Jiang Ye managed to utter a few words, his mind racing (inner monologue): Seriously? I'm just a bystander, how did I end up being taken hostage?

This plot is going in the wrong direction!

Director, I want more money!

Ye Shuli's pupils shrank sharply, and her heart felt as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.

She never expected that the man in black robes would actually attack Jiang Ye!

Anger burned fiercely in her eyes, and the longsword in her hand hummed as if responding to its master's rage.

"Let him go!" Ye Shuli's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the deepest hell.

The man in black robes let out a low laugh, like the hooting of an owl, which sent chills down one's spine.

"Ye Shuli, aren't you very capable? Now that your man is in my hands, what are you going to do?"

The atmosphere froze instantly, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Everyone held their breath, afraid of disturbing this eerie balance.

"Sister Li, don't worry about me! Fight him! We'll be heroes again in eighteen years!" Jiang Ye roared, his neck stiff. Although he was panicking inside, he couldn't lose his momentum!

Upon hearing this, the man in black increased the pressure on his hand, and Jiang Ye immediately felt it was even more difficult to breathe, with stars flashing before his eyes.

A mouthful of blood gushed out, staining the black-robed man's hand red.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli's eyes were bloodshot as she watched Jiang Ye get injured, her heart breaking.

The air around us seemed to freeze, and a sad and oppressive atmosphere permeated the air.

The longsword in her hand trembled, its tip pointing directly at the man in black, yet she hesitated to strike.

The man in black robes smiled even more broadly as he looked at Ye Shuli's pained expression.

"It seems you care about him a lot. Then, trade your life for his!"

Ye Shuli took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She couldn't act impulsively; she had to find a way to rescue Jiang Ye while also protecting the safety of the mainland.

"What do you want?" Ye Shuli's voice was hoarse, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

"It's simple, submit to me." The man in black robes spoke arrogantly, as if he controlled everything.

Ye Shuli gripped her sword tightly, her eyes flickering uncertainly... Okay, this is the continuation:

[Event occurred]

Ye Shuli bit her lower lip tightly, a faint taste of blood spreading in her mouth.

She stared intently at the man in black, her eyes like those of a mother wolf driven to desperation, filled with pain, struggle, and rage...

A multitude of emotions were swirling wildly in her eyes.

"Submit? Heh..." Ye Shuli's voice was low and hoarse, as if every word was squeezed out from between her teeth, "You're dreaming!"

Her heart was screaming: Jiang Ye, that silly guy who was always chattering in her ear, that guy who always found all sorts of bizarre reasons to freeload, that fool who silently stayed by her side when she was at her most vulnerable...

How could she just stand by and watch him die?

But what about the safety of the mainland?

What about the innocent civilians?

What responsibilities does she bear?

Are we really going to plunge the entire continent into utter ruin just for the sake of Jiang Ye?

Ye Shuli felt like she was suffocating; her heart felt like it was being pulled apart by two enormous forces.

Her body trembled slightly, her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and the sticky feeling made her even more irritable.

She gripped the longsword tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged out like twisted earthworms.

At this critical moment, an old but powerful voice suddenly rang out: "You wicked creature! Cease your arrogance!"

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light descended from the sky, like the light of Buddha, instantly enveloping the man in black robes and Jiang Ye.

"This is...?" Ye Shuli looked up suddenly and saw an old man with white hair appear out of thin air. He was wearing a simple Taoist robe and holding an ancient staff. He had an otherworldly air about him and was like a god.

"The Wise Elder!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

The man in black robes was trapped by the golden light and was unable to move for a moment.

His face, hidden beneath the black robe, must have been contorted in extreme pain at that moment.

He struggled frantically, but the golden light clung to him like a leech, binding him tightly.

"Damn it! You old bastard, how dare you ruin my plans!" The man in black robes roared angrily, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing against each other.

The wise elder stroked his long beard and smiled calmly: "I told you, you will not succeed."

This sudden change shocked everyone.

No one expected that at this crucial moment, the wise elder would lend a helping hand.

Ye Shuli's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She looked at the wise elder gratefully and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Girl,” the wise elder turned to look at Ye Shuli,

Ye Shuli was taken aback, then looked at the man in black robes with a determined gaze.

Seeing this, Ye Shuli knew her opportunity had arrived!

I was just so conflicted that my guts were practically tied in knots, but now the wise elder is giving me a powerful boost, it's like a pillow being delivered to a sleepy person!

"Heh, you want me to submit? In your next life!" Ye Shuli's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes instantly turning sharp.

With a flick of her wrist, a dazzling light burst forth from the longsword in her hand, as brilliant as the sun, instantly illuminating the entire sky.

The artifact has been activated!

"Die, you old hag!" Ye Shuli shouted, her figure moving like lightning, carrying the power of the divine artifact, rushing straight at the man in black robes!

The man in black robes never expected that Ye Shuli would be so decisive, turning her back on him so quickly, faster than flipping through a book!

He originally wanted to use Jiang Ye to control Ye Shuli, but he didn't expect this woman to play by her own rules!

"You...you dare!" The man in black robes was filled with shock and anger. He struggled to break free from the golden light while desperately dodging Ye Shuli's attacks.

His original arrogant expression had vanished, replaced by panic.

In an instant, the situation on the field reversed!

However, while Ye Shuli was engaged in fierce battle with the man in black robes, other parts of the continent were plunged into chaos and suffering.

Seeing that the man in black robes was being held back by the wise elder, the leader of the followers knew that this was a rare opportunity and immediately ordered an increase in the destruction of the mainland.

"Burn them! Kill them! Let these foolish mortals know who truly rules this continent!" the leader of the followers roared ferociously, his voice like that of a demon from hell.

In the city, flames roared and thick smoke billowed up, turning the entire sky black.

The sounds of buildings collapsing, people screaming, and the maniacal laughter of their followers...

The various sounds intertwined, creating a scene resembling a living hell.

The civilian representatives fled in all directions, crying and wailing, and a sense of despair spread among the crowd.

"Who will save us!" "God, save us!" They were ragged and their faces were haggard.

“This can’t go on…” In the crowd, an old man looked at the tragic scene before him, gripping his cane tightly as if to support his swaying body.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he abruptly raised his head and looked into the distance...

"Perhaps she has a way..."

He muttered to himself,

At this time, Ye Shuli was unaware of everything that was happening on the continent.

Her entire focus was on the black-robed man in front of her, and she kept wielding her long sword, sending sharp sword energies slicing through the air and aiming straight for the black-robed man's vital points.

"You think you can defeat me like this? How naive!" the black-robed man roared, his body surging with black energy as he tried to block Ye Shuli's attack.

However, Ye Shuli didn't care at all, and a mysterious smile appeared on her lips.

"Really? Then we'll wait and see!"

Okay, here's the continuation:

Ye Shuli took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the surging emotions in her heart.

She knew that now was not the time to act on emotion; the safety of the mainland and Jiang Ye's life were all in her hands.

"Attention, all troops! Heed my command!" Ye Shuli's clear voice resounded across the battlefield, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Her eyes, sharp as an eagle's, scanned each guardian.

"Group A, outflank them and cut off their retreat! Group B, engage them head-on and give them a good beating! Group C, protect the civilians, not a single one can be lost!" Ye Shuli spoke quickly and clearly, like a seasoned general.

Inspired by Ye Shuli's imposing aura, the guardians straightened their backs, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"Yes!" The deafening roar echoed through the sky, as if it would shatter the heavens.

This sudden turn of events caught the leader of the followers off guard.

He never expected that Ye Shuli would have this trick up her sleeve!

"What... what kind of crazy tactics is this? I've never heard of such a thing!" The leader of the followers looked bewildered. His proud tactics seemed as ridiculous as children playing house in the face of Ye Shuli's modern tactics.

"Hold on! Hold on!" the leader of the followers roared hoarsely, trying to steady their position.

However, everything is in vain.

Under Ye Shuli's command, the guardians fought with renewed vigor, becoming more and more courageous.

They cooperated seamlessly, combining offense and defense, and routed their followers, leaving them in complete disarray.

"This...this is impossible!" The leader of the followers watched helplessly as his men fell one by one. His proud army was so easily defeated!

"Nothing is impossible!" Ye Shuli sneered, brandishing her longsword once more, a dazzling sword aura heading straight for the leader of her followers.

The leader of the followers hurriedly dodged, looking utterly disheveled. He was filled with fear.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" The leader of the followers didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

He didn't want to lose his life here.

The followers, as if granted a pardon, abandoned their armor and fled in all directions.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Ye Shuli's eyes sharpened, and she was about to give chase when suddenly, a powerful aura descended from the sky, instantly enveloping her.

"Who is it?!" Ye Shuli exclaimed in shock, her hair standing on end and goosebumps rising all over her body.

This feeling……

It felt like being stared at by a prehistoric beast, making her scalp tingle and her heart race.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open.

The golden light of the wise elder vanished instantly, and the black-robed man—no, he should now be called an unparalleled expert—stood proudly in mid-air, radiating a suffocating pressure.

"Old man, your magic is useless against me!" The voice of the peerless expert was cold and hoarse, as if it came from the deepest hell.

He slowly turned around, his gaze piercing, staring intently at Ye Shuli, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his lips: "Little girl, now it's your turn..." He approached Ye Shuli step by step, each step feeling like he was stepping on her heartbeat.

"Game over."
