Chen Tang leaped like a tiger several times, reaching the two Foundation Establishment Mages first, and with a wave of his hand, unleashed Vast Ambition!

He continuously swung his sword, the flashes of the blade enveloping the two Foundation Establishment Mages!

The beautiful woman, who was blocking the two flying swords, caught a glimpse of Chen Tang's sword skill from the corner of her eye, and her expression couldn't help but shift, a strange look flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Having been instructed by the Mountain Guest, Chen Tang knew the weaknesses and flaws of these Mystic Masters inside out.

The timing of his attack was perfect!

The two Foundation Establishment Mages had just released two Mystic Skills and didn't have time to deploy a second one.

Among the two flying swords, one was in the process of intercepting the beautiful woman.

The other was beneath their feet, ready to escape by sword control.

Just as the two Foundation Establishment Mages were at their weakest, Chen Tang's sword blade descended!

A chilling aura, murderous intent filled the air.

The two Foundation Establishment Mages were greatly alarmed, unable to escape in time, they could only direct the flying swords under their feet to intercept Chen Tang's long blade.

Without the support of their flying swords, as soon as they soared up, they immediately fell from midair.

At this moment, a burst of sword light came and caught one of the Foundation Establishment Mages below!

Splurt, splurt, splurt!

The sound of blades tearing through flesh endlessly echoed.

The next moment, the body of this Foundation Establishment Mage fell out from the sword light, unrecognizable, with countless wounds on the body, flesh separating, already dead.

It was Dugu Qingcheng who arrived and slew him!

The other Foundation Establishment Mage still tried to steady himself in mid-air but heard a fierce wind by his ear!

Woo!

Before he could react, a large spear pierced through the air from the front!

It struck him like a heavy hammer, piercing through his chest, carrying his body several yards away, nailing it heavily to a thick tree trunk, the spear tail trembling slightly!

With blood frothing from his mouth, the Foundation Establishment Mage struggled a few times before his head drooped, dying.

Two Foundation Establishment Mages, killed in close combat by three young people under Chen Tang!

The four flying swords, losing their masters' guiding energy, all fell to the ground.

Thus, Zhai Zhan and others who came in pursuit, all perished, leaving none alive!

Chen Tang and the others stood in place, hearts thumping, exchanging glances, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother."

Only then did Dugu Qingcheng turn around, throw herself into the beautiful woman's arms, and happily, said, "I knew it, you wouldn't be at ease without me."

The beautiful woman maintained a stern face, giving a light hum: "Your father is really angry this time, and I couldn't persuade him. I won't help you this time. Wait till you get home, you're in for it."

"Mother~~"

Dugu Qingcheng lightly shook the beautiful woman's arm, looking innocent, her voice sweetly pleading: "This time, Qing'Er came out to uphold justice, didn't get into any trouble, if you don't believe it, you can ask them."

Saying this, Dugu Qingcheng thought of Chen Tang and the others, smiling, she said: "Mother, I haven't introduced you yet, Qing'Er has made several friends these days, all of them are gallant and heroic Jianghu heroes!"

The beautiful woman glanced over Chen Tang and the others, faintly sneering: "A few young ones just starting out in Jianghu, covered in the smell of milk, daring to call themselves Jianghu heroes, and acting all heroic, when it seems more like fleeing in panic."

Chen Tang and the others inwardly felt embarrassed.

They had just been chased and fled chaotically, indeed lacking anything heroic.

Song Wu, being a bit older, cupped his fists, saying: "Thank you, senior, for coming to our rescue just now, I am extremely grateful. Your daughter wasn't wrong about one thing, she may not be a Jianghu hero, but her youthful sense of justice is commendable."

The beautiful woman gave a light hum, not refuting.

After all, praises for her daughter were pleasant to hear.

"I still have pressing matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."

Song Wu cupped his fists again, saying: "This place isn't safe to linger, everyone should leave quickly as well."

"Brother Song, see you in the Jianghu."

Dugu Qingcheng waved her hand at him.

Knowing Song Wu was from Nanxia, making it impossible to keep him, everyone bid their farewells.

Chen Tang, Changsun Ming, and Yuwen Heigou exchanged glances, stepped forward to thank the beautiful woman, then made some excuse to leave.

Since Dugu Qingcheng's guardian had arrived, there was no need for them to linger together.

"Come stay at my place for a while, the perfect opportunity to lay low."

Seeing Chen Tang and the others leaving, Dugu Qingcheng reluctantly extended an invitation.

Chen Tang courteously declined, saying: "That would be too much trouble, we'll visit you another time if there's a chance."

"Since Qing'Er has invited you to our home as guests, why be in such a hurry to leave, three young heroes?"

At this moment, the beautiful woman's eyes sparkled slightly, speaking softly.

"Hmm?"

Hearing the beautiful woman's somewhat strange tone, Chen Tang and the others inexplicably felt a chill, their skin prickling with goosebumps.

The three of them instinctively looked up, towards the beautiful woman.

They saw the beautiful woman staring at them intently, a strange look in her eyes, flickering with an inexplicable murderous intent!

Meanwhile, the beautiful woman lightly stroked Dugu Qingcheng's head, her jade finger pressing several acupoints.

Dugu Qingcheng immediately felt a heavy drowsiness.

Startled, she suddenly realized something, muttering before falling asleep: "Mother, don't harm them, don't..."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman slightly frowned, hesitating in her heart.

Originally, she wanted to deal with the three of them behind Qing'Er's back.

But now, Qing'Er had seen through her intentions.

Moreover, Qing'Er was so concerned about them, even as she drifted to sleep, she was thinking of them. If she were to kill them, Qing'Er might hate her for life.

However, the identity of these three was indeed sensitive, bringing them back posed a certain risk.

The young man with the spear was from the Changsun Family and even knew the Murong Family's spear technique, and that straw-hat-wearing young man was from the Capital City, possibly even from the palace!

As for the young man with the sword...

Several thoughts flashed through the beautiful woman's mind, her gaze shifted among the three, finally resting on Chen Tang.

Chen Tang and the others dared not breathe heavily.

Seeing the murderous intent in the beautiful woman's eyes, they initially thought it an illusion.

But hearing Dugu Qingcheng's words before she fell asleep, they realized, it seemed this beautiful woman truly had thoughts of killing!

Who exactly was Dugu Qingcheng's mother, possessing such powerful Martial Arts, killing ruthlessly, and why did she even consider killing them?

"How did this young man manage to execute those sword techniques? Moreover, it seems he has received genuine teachings."

"From whom in the previous dynasty did this young man learn?"

Actually, among the three, the beautiful woman wanted to keep Chen Tang the most, curious about his background.

The safest approach with the other two was to eliminate them.

But Qing'Er had just reminded her, so the beautiful woman reconsidered.

Yet, letting the two go just like that wasn't reassuring either.

The beautiful woman pondered for a moment, saying: "Have the three of you considered it, coming to my house, you could keep Qing'Er company."

She planned to bring all three of them back.

At worst, they could relocate once more.

Chen Tang coughed lightly, saying: "Do we have a choice?"

"No, you don't."

The beautiful woman straightforwardly replied.

Changsun Ming frowned deeply, visibly displeased.

Even if she was Dugu Qingcheng's mother, she couldn't be so overbearing!

Just as he was about to speak, Yuwen Heigou tugged his sleeve, slightly shaking his head.

After all, she had just saved them, following her wouldn't hurt.

Not to mention the connection with Dugu Qingcheng.

After a moment of thought, Changsun Ming remained silent.
