"Luo Xiu!"

Snapping to her senses, Lin Xiyue felt a surge of panic and instinctively reached out to grab the Great Qian of Tai Ah.

"Damn woman, get the hell out of my way!"

With a furious shout, the Great Qian of Tai Ah erupted with a violent blade aura, blasting Lin Xiyue away. Given Lin Xiyue's current cultivation strength in the Mahayana Realm, there was a significant gap between her and the Great Qian of Tai Ah. A single blast was enough to give her internal injuries, and she spat out a mouthful of blood as she hit the ground.

Xun Mi immediately rushed to help Lin Xiyue up. After checking her wounds, she stared at the Great Qian of Tai Ah still embedded in Luo Xiu's chest. This is going to be a big problem.

Meanwhile, Mei Ji and Watari Kagura were on high alert, ready to act at any moment.

"Xi Yue..."

Luo Xiu struggled to turn and look at Lin Xiyue, his eyes gradually igniting with rage. Originally, he had planned on playing around with the Great Qian of Tai Ah for a while.

But now, he was done playing.

"Heh heh, kid, you can't even save yourself, and you're still worried about that woman?" the blade taunted. "Don't be hasty. First, let this lord finish sucking your blood! Oh... this delicious Emperor's Blood is simply divine."

However, Luo Xiu ignored the Great Qian of Tai Ah, letting it drink his blood. He suddenly stood up straight, took a slow, deep breath, and looked over at Master Ping. "I told you before. For a shoddy blade like this, there was no need for all this trouble."

Hearing this, Master Ping was unconvinced. "You've already been stabbed, and you're still spouting that nonsense?" He then added, "Da Qian, if you have the guts, come at me, Master Ping! Let's go another three hundred rounds! Leave my brother alone!"

The Great Qian of Tai Ah laughed heartily. "Divine Vase, you fool, today this lord will—AH!"

Before he could finish, a scream tore through the air as he hastily retreated from Luo Xiu's body and flew into the distance. It was because mysterious flames had suddenly ignited all over Luo Xiu's body.

"Hahahaha..."

Seeing this, Master Ping burst into laughter and flew to Luo Xiu's side. "Well, I'll be damned! Master Ping didn't realize you still had the Indestructible Divine Flame, kid! I'd completely forgotten about that. I'm telling you, kid, if you'd used the Indestructible Divine Flame from the start, we wouldn't have all this crap to deal with!"

Luo Xiu's face darkened. "You have the gall to say that? I told you from the very beginning that none of this was necessary, but you just had to insist on using my blood."

"Er... hehe... I, Master Ping... I was just looking out for you."

Luo Xiu couldn't be bothered to argue further. His gaze locked onto the Great Qian of Tai Ah, which had already flown far away. "Master Ping, protect them. I'll handle this piece of junk."

Remembering how Lin Xiyue had been injured, Luo Xiu was consumed with a fury he was eager to unleash. He didn't much care that the blade had wounded him. But hurting Lin Xiyue? That was unacceptable.

A long time passed.

"I submit! I submit! Little lord, I truly, truly submit!" a pained cry finally echoed.

Luo Xiu stared indifferently at the blade before him, now glowing red-hot from the Indestructible Divine Flame. "Choose. Submission or destruction?"

"Submission!" the blade shrieked. "I submit! I submit! Waaah... what sins did I commit in my past life to deserve this torment... Waaah... I feel so damn wronged!"

If the Great Qian of Tai Ah were not a weapon-form life but a creature of flesh and blood, he would have been bawling his eyes out. After being tormented by Luo Xiu's Indestructible Divine Flame for nearly half an hour, the Great Qian of Tai Ah had lost all his bluster. If Luo Xiu actually wanted to destroy him, another burst of flame would be enough to melt him into scrap iron.

Whether it was a Magical Treasure or a weapon-form life, nothing could resist the Indestructible Divine Flame. The flame Ai Hongye had left Luo Xiu was, simply put, the nemesis of them all.

Just then, Master Ping flew to Luo Xiu's side and released the Dao Law God Chain to bind the Great Qian of Tai Ah. He dragged it directly into the World Inside the Vase, then said to Luo Xiu, "I'll take over training this little bastard from here. You go handle your own business."

Luo Xiu nodded, retracting the Indestructible Divine Flame before turning to walk toward Lin Xiyue.

"Xi Yue, are you okay?"

Lin Xiyue gently shook her head, her lips pursed as her beautiful eyes shimmered, fixed on him. She had seen everything, including how Luo Xiu had tormented the Great Qian of Tai Ah. She knew he had become so enraged because she had been hurt. It reminded her of the World Martial Arts Assembly, when he had beaten up Lin Jianlong for her sake.

"Luo Xiu, your wound..." Lin Xiyue grabbed his arm, her gaze falling on the wound on his chest, and her heart ached with worry.

Luo Xiu shook his head again, a faint smile on his lips. "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury."

"You were stabbed through the chest, and you call that a minor injury?" Lin Xiyue chided softly.

Hearing this, Luo Xiu's expression changed dramatically. His face turned pale, and he collapsed right into Lin Xiyue's arms, groaning in pain. "Ah... I feel awful... Actually, the injury is very severe."

Seeing this, Xun Mi, Mei Ji, and Watari Kagura all got goosebumps. They tactfully retreated to a safe distance.

"You two take your time to heal," Xun Mi called out. "We'll go explore over there."

Back at their original spot, Lin Xiyue gently held Luo Xiu, at a complete loss. He's probably faking it... but I can't be sure. I did see the Great Qian of Tai Ah run him through with my own eyes...

"There, there. The pain will be gone soon," Lin Xiyue comforted him softly, patting his shoulder.

Luo Xiu peeked up at her and said aggrievedly, "What do you mean, the pain will be gone soon? Do you hear the nonsense you're spouting?"

Lin Xiyue rolled her eyes. "Well, what do you want me to do? I don't know any Medical Techniques."

"Just hold me," Luo Xiu said. "If you hold me, it won't hurt."

In reality, an injury of this degree was truly minor for him. He could easily heal it with a bit of Qi Huang Medicine Power, but since the mood was right, he naturally had to put on an act.

Lin Xiyue gave him a strange look. "Hey, Little Mule, why are you being so shameless all of a sudden?"

"I don't care. It hurts," Luo Xiu whined, suddenly hugging her waist.

"Hey, don't hold me so tight... Why are you acting like such a child?"

"Let's go back to the Land of Lawlessness," Luo Xiu said suddenly.

"Go back for what?"

"To recover."

Lin Xiyue looked at him skeptically. "Are you really going back just to recover?"

BOOM!

Just then, a huge explosion erupted from the distant ruins. Luo Xiu's expression tensed, and he pulled away from Lin Xiyue's embrace, turning his head toward the sound. Suddenly, he caught the thick stench of blood in the air, accompanied by a terrifyingly oppressive might.

"Something must have happened over there. Let's go check it out."

A moment later, when the two arrived at the source of the explosion, they found Watari Kagura lying on the ground. Xun Mi and Mei Ji had unleashed their full cultivation and were locked in a struggle with a bizarre bloody glow.

Suddenly, an ancient voice echoed through the void.

"Hahaha... With that broken blade of Tai Ah gone, this seat has finally broken free from the seal! I'll start by feasting on you few mortals!"
