"Liar, big liar!" Sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage, Lin Qiaoxi tore at the petals of a wild flower she had picked somewhere, muttering resentfully.
They had said "soon, soon," but almost a whole night had passed, and it still wasn't over.
Was this what they called "soon"?
Women were all big liars!
Especially women who had been "nourished" by men!
She was a Golden Core realm cultivator, so she shouldn't feel the cold, even in this freezing weather. Yet, for some reason, she felt a desolate sorrow, wrapped in darkness and loneliness.
She was just a pitiful little girl driving the carriage.
Unloved, uncared for, and miserable.
"Hey, where did such a pretty little girl come from?" Suddenly, a cackling, sinister voice rang out.
"Tsk, tsk, so young and already in the Golden Core realm. Tsk, tsk, we've finally found a delicious delicacy to savor!"
"Who would have thought such a beautiful little thing would come right to our doorstep! Is this the good fortune of the Three Brothers of the Demon Den?"
Three middle-aged men with sinister faces and bodies enveloped in evil aura appeared before her.
"Ah!" Seeing these three detestable figures, who looked like devils, Lin Qiaoxi was both startled and terrified.
"Annoying!" Just then, an angry voice sounded, followed by the appearance of a woman in a purple long dress.
It was Fang Qingxue, whose good time had been interrupted. Before these three appeared, Yang Feilong had warned her of approaching evil energy and halted her further advances. He had told her to get dressed and prepare for battle. He wasn't afraid, but he felt it wasn't appropriate for Lin Qiaoxi, a young girl, to be traveling alone, especially after almost a full day and night.
In reality, Yang Feilong could have killed these three the moment they appeared before the carriage.
Just like in the past day and night, had they not encountered any bad people? No, Yang Feilong had also been in high spirits. Those with ill intentions, before they could even approach the carriage, had been silently annihilated by his domain.
After reaching the Spirit Void realm, his domain, while not comparable to that of a true perfected Void Refining realm expert, was close.
Everything within a ten-kilometer radius was within his perception, and anything within that radius could be easily annihilated by his domain if he so chose.
Facing the Three Brothers of the Demon Den, whose cultivation levels were all in the Nascent Soul realm, they were not the strongest among those he had killed in the past day and night. The strongest had reached the Spirit Grandmaster realm.
Yang Feilong was not worried about Fang Qingxue making a move, because Fang Qingxue's cultivation had also reached the peak of the late Spirit Grandmaster realm, almost perfect Spirit Grandmaster. Yes, after this dual cultivation with Yang Feilong, Fang Qingxue's cultivation had advanced at an incredibly rapid pace.
This was also why Fang Qingxue was reluctant to part. They had said "soon," but she couldn't help but initiate dual cultivation again and again.
Even though Yang Feilong had told her that as the number of dual cultivations increased, the effects would not be as potent as the first few times, she didn't care.
She wished they could dual cultivate until her cultivation could no longer advance.
Although the progress of dual cultivation might slow down later, it wouldn't be drastically slow. Of course, this was mainly because Yang Feilong's current cultivation was too high, and hers was too low, so she benefited greatly.
"Wow, another beauty has arrived!"
"Are there more inside the carriage?"
"Tsk, tsk, we're striking it rich!"
The three villains of the Demon Den had no idea they were walking into a death trap.
Although Yang Feilong wouldn't make a move easily, if Fang Qingxue were in danger, he would intervene.
Of course, before Fang Qingxue was in mortal danger, he wouldn't make a move easily, because Fang Qingxue also needed to vent her anger!
Furthermore, with her cultivation increasing so rapidly, Fang Qingxue needed to master her current strength through combat as quickly as possible.
Lin Qiaoxi was initially scared, but soon, she wasn't. With Yang Feilong, a Void Refining realm expert, guarding them, unless someone above the Void Refining realm arrived, she had nothing to fear!
However, when she saw Yang Feilong not making a move, and Fang Qingxue charging forward instead, Lin Qiaoxi's expression changed. Although Qingxue Jie was stronger than her, how much stronger could she be? These three villains were all in the Nascent Soul realm!
But what happened next left her utterly stunned.
Fang Qingxue charged forward directly. The three villains of the Demon Den looked at her with disdain. The weakest of them directly confronted Fang Qingxue. In their eyes, one person was enough to deal with Fang Qingxue, not to kill her, but to heavily injure her first, so they could have fun later without pressure!
But in one encounter, just one, this early Nascent Soul realm villain was slain by Fang Qingxue's sword!
"Ah?" Lin Qiaoxi was completely bewildered. "A Nascent Soul realm expert, killed by Qingxue Jie? Has Qingxue Jie broken through to the Nascent Soul realm? And not just an ordinary Nascent Soul realm cultivator?"
"Dual cultivation is that effective???"
The remaining two brothers of the Demon Den were also shocked by this sudden turn of events.
Although they were the weakest of the three, they had also reached the early Nascent Soul realm!
To be killed by a single sword blow! Only then did they realize that Fang Qingxue had also broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator!
"Damn it! Bitch, die!"
"Go to hell!"
Seeing their brother killed, the other two Nascent Soul realm cultivators, filled with rage and shock, roared and attacked Fang Qingxue together.
Suddenly, Fang Qingxue was at a disadvantage. These two Nascent Soul realm cultivators, one in the middle stage and the other in the late stage, though Fang Qingxue's realm was not low and she had been considered top-tier among her peers before, her sudden surge in cultivation meant her previous top-tier combat power had greatly diminished. Coupled with her inability to perfectly control her Nascent Soul power, it was only natural that she was at a disadvantage.
As for killing the early Nascent Soul realm expert with a single sword strike earlier, there were many reasons: first, Fang Qingxue struck in anger; second, the opponent was careless; and third, the gap between them was significant, which did not mean she could now casually kill Nascent Soul cultivators with a single sword strike!
"Teacher Yang, quickly make a move!" Seeing Fang Qingxue at a disadvantage, Lin Qiaoxi anxiously said to Yang Feilong.
Upon hearing this.
The expressions of the two villains from the Demon Den changed.
Damn it, there was someone else in the carriage? And they seemed even stronger!
Instantly, their attacks became somewhat hesitant. If there was such a powerful helper, wouldn't they be doomed?
What should they do?
For a moment, their minds raced, and their attacks were no longer as sharp as before, leaving some room for maneuver.
Perhaps they were afraid of Yang Feilong launching a sneak attack, or perhaps they were saving their strength to escape if things turned for the worse.
