Jiong Ye looked at Mu An Xiao’s determined expression, then glanced up at the giant black bear monster that was still standing motionless and obedient, asking, "You’re not really going to kill it, are you?"
Mu An Xiao replied, "You'd best keep your mouth shut." With that, she took a deep breath and, guided by the content of the immortal book in her mind, began to search for a spell to extract abilities from spiritual energy.
Jiong Ye was injured, and also, thinking about what he had done to Mu An Xiao before, he dared not speak.
Ouyang Ye paid no mind to the situation here and continued to use his demonic arts to heal himself.
Yue Ci, worried that Feng Qi Shi might impulsively go to help Mu An Xiao, was still holding his arm.
Of course, Feng Qi Shi had initially resisted Yue Ci’s action, but the moment Mu An Xiao fell into despair and plunged the dagger into Ouyang Ye’s body, he stopped struggling.
Because he wanted Mu An Xiao to have another chance.
Yue Ci said, "If you don't move, I'll let go." He saw that Feng Qi Shi was acting strangely.
Feng Qi Shi said nothing, continuing to stare at Mu An Xiao.
Zhang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching Mu An Xiao, who was at the depths of despair but unwilling to show it, still thinking of him. His heart sank, and he murmured, "What a fool."
"..." Feng Qi Shi looked at Zhang Yan.
Sensing Feng Qi Shi's gaze, Zhang Yan raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his eyes, turned to Feng Qi Shi, and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"
"What should I do next?" Feng Qi Shi asked in a low voice.
Yue Ci frowned.
"In a moment, you must catch her immediately. If she falls to the ground, even the most potent elixir won't save her life."
".." Feng Qi Shi's eyes darkened. "We're in stealth mode. I'm afraid I won't be able to touch her."
"When her vital signs are about to disappear, you will be able to touch her," Zhang Yan said calmly, letting his tears flow. "Feng Qi Shi, remember this, my disciple's life is in your hands." He stared blankly at Feng Qi Shi.
"..." Feng Qi Shi nodded. He understood that if it was 99% likely to succeed, then there was also a 1% chance of failure. He thought this must be the 1% Zhang Yan had spoken of!
Yue Ci frowned. "That's not right. Wasn't it supposed to be a fake death? Why is there such a rule?" He was completely bewildered and didn't understand what they were talking about.
Hearing this, Zhang Yan casually wiped the tears from his face and said, "Rules are dead, people are alive. Anyone falling from that height wouldn't survive. Fool." He glared at Yue Ci.
Yue Ci was embarrassed. "What you say makes sense." As he spoke, he looked at Feng Qi Shi, who was inexplicably staring at him, and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"
"You can let go of my hand now," Feng Qi Shi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yue Ci complied and released his grip.
Meanwhile, the giant black bear monster suddenly caught the scent of Ouyang Ye's blood. It twitched its head a couple of times, then lowered its gaze and fixed its attention on Mu An Xiao, who was still lost in thought.
Seeing this, Feng Qi Shi's eyes widened. "What is it going to do?" He worried the giant black bear monster would trample Mu An Xiao.
Yue Ci said, "It seems to have sensed Ouyang Ye's blood on her." As he spoke, he deliberately blocked Feng Qi Shi.
Feng Qi Shi exclaimed, "Not good." He glanced at Ouyang Ye, who was still practicing his healing arts, then looked back at Mu An Xiao and asked, "Can I go now?" He looked at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan replied expressionlessly, "No."
"But..."
"Jiong Ye will remind my disciple," Zhang Yan interrupted, shifting his gaze to Jiong Ye.
Following Zhang Yan's gaze, Feng Qi Shi looked at Jiong Ye, frowned, and mentally prepared himself to go and save Mu An Xiao.
Yue Ci cautiously glanced at Feng Qi Shi and said nothing.
Over there.
Just as Zhang Yan had said, Jiong Ye was anxiously watching the motionless Mu An Xiao. Then, he looked up at the giant black bear monster, which was about to lift its leg, and quickly said, "Mu An Xiao, get away quickly."
Upon hearing this, Mu An Xiao did not immediately look up at the giant black bear monster. Instead, she looked directly at Jiong Ye and said, "Don't speak." She shook her head slightly.
Jiong Ye frowned, then looked again at the giant black bear monster, fear creeping into his heart, and fell silent.
After Jiong Ye quieted down, Mu An Xiao clenched her fists slightly, gathered the power of her spiritual energy in her hands with her spells, and stared at the giant black bear monster's slightly raised massive foot. She thought, "The weakness isn't here." With that, she quickly retreated a few steps, looked up at the giant black bear monster's head, and muttered, "The weakness must be on its head." Saying this, she put her hands behind her back and flew directly upwards.
Thus, Mu An Xiao began to fly back and forth in front of the giant black bear monster, following her own thoughts.
The giant black bear monster was convinced that Mu An Xiao had injured Ouyang Ye, so it completely disregarded Ouyang Ye's orders and was constantly ready to devour her.
After a moment, Mu An Xiao discovered its weakness: its eyes.
"Eyes," she mumbled, stopping in front of the giant black bear monster's face.
The giant black bear monster roared in anger and swung its massive claws at Mu An Xiao.
Below, Ouyang Ye's wound had improved after he circulated his energy. Hearing the roar of the giant black bear monster, he suddenly remembered Mu An Xiao's decision just now.
Therefore, his heart sank. He stood up, turned around quickly, and saw that Mu An Xiao's fist had struck the giant black bear monster's palm.
Watching this scene, he murmured, "She's concentrated her spiritual energy in her hands."
Just then, Jiong Ye limped to Ouyang Ye's side. "Are you alright?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Ye temporarily withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Jiong Ye, and asked, "Why didn't you stop her?"
Jiong Ye was startled. He hadn't expected Ouyang Ye to ask him such a question, so he gave an awkward laugh. "I tried to stop her, but she didn't listen to me."
"I'm telling you, if anything happens to her, I'll cripple you." As he spoke, just as he was about to cast his demonic art, his wound began to ache.
However, not wanting Jiong Ye to see his injury, he glanced at Jiong Ye, lowered his hand, and pretended to be fine.
Jiong Ye looked at Ouyang Ye with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why aren't you going?"
"You go."
"Me?" Jiong Ye pointed at himself, looked down at his own injuries with a dry laugh, and said, "If I go, I'm afraid I'll just hold her back."
"Hold her back..." Ouyang Ye said, looking at Jiong Ye's injuries, and didn't insist further. "You stand there and don't move."
"Okay," Jiong Ye said, relieved.
Mid-air.
The moment Mu An Xiao forcefully struck the giant black bear monster's palm with her fist, it stumbled back two steps and crashed into a tree.
Seeing this, Mu An Xiao raised her fist and continued to strike the giant black bear monster.
