Ye Cangtian did not rush to rescue her, for a very simple reason: Yan Yun'er was a proud woman.
If she were to be rescued before being completely defeated, she would not only not be grateful, but would even blame him for meddling.
On the other hand, the giant skeleton continued its frenzied attacks, but the ghostly fire in its eyes would occasionally sweep towards Ye Cangtian's direction.
It was obvious that the giant skeleton had already discovered Ye Cangtian's presence, but since Ye Cangtian was not causing any trouble, it temporarily ignored him.
"Senior Sister, I'll block the Skeleton King, you quickly leave!"
Under the attacks of the giant skeleton, the two found it increasingly difficult to resist. Su Yubai finally made a decision, gritted his teeth, and shouted at Yan Yun'er.
Although he was also a genius of the Misty Rain Tower, he knew his own capabilities. He and Yan Yun'er were not on the same level at all.
Moreover, in their daily lives, Yan Yun'er had taken good care of him. Therefore, he was willing to sacrifice himself at this moment to protect Yan Yun'er!
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yan Yun'er rebuked, and continued, "If I leave! As the senior sister, it is natural for me to stay. You quickly go and find Master!"
After all, with her strength reaching the ninth heaven realm, she could delay for a longer time, and perhaps reinforcements would arrive.
"Senior Sister, be careful!"
Just as Yan Yun'er finished speaking, Su Yubai's urgent voice came.
The Skeleton King seized the moment of Yan Yun'er's distraction, and the bone axe in its hand instantly slashed down towards Yan Yun'er. Yan Yun'er's heart was immediately greatly alarmed.
She desperately blocked with the long sword in her hand, but in her haste, she did not have enough strength, and the long sword was instantly knocked away.
"Alas! I thought you could hold on a little longer..."
Just as the bone axe was about to fall on Yan Yun'er, a sighing voice came.
In the blink of an eye, a huge scythe of the God of Death swept through the air, grazing past the top of Yan Yun'er's head.
With a "ding" sound, a few strands of black hair fell, and the bone axe was blocked by the scythe of the God of Death.
Roar!
Seeing that his sure-kill strike had been blocked, the Skeleton King also let out an angry roar, continuously roaring towards Ye Cangtian's direction.
Ye Cangtian?
Yan Yun'er and Su Yubai also saw the figure slowly walking over. Yan Yun'er's expression was somewhat complex.
She had lost to Ye Cangtian, so she didn't have a good impression of him. Now that she was saved by him, she found it truly difficult to accept.
However, no matter what, he had saved her just now, so she couldn't be ungrateful. Therefore, she reluctantly refrained from getting angry at Ye Cangtian's taunts.
"Heh heh, I've already saved your life, and you don't even say thank you?"
Ye Cangtian looked at Yan Yun'er's clenched teeth, finding it somewhat amusing. He couldn't help but tease her again.
Hmph!
Yan Yun'er snorted coldly and turned her head. Facing Ye Cangtian, she really couldn't bring herself to say thank you.
In the end, it was Su Yubai, standing beside her, who cupped his hands and bowed, "Many thanks to you, sir, for saving our lives!"
"Alas! This senior sister is actually less sensible than her junior brother!"
You!
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Yan Yun'er's face instantly turned fiery red. Her chest heaved violently with anger, but she dared not say anything, feeling extremely stifled.
There was no other way, she dared not say anything!
If Ye Cangtian were to be angered away, she and Su Yubai would not be able to deal with the Skeleton King.
Roar!
Just then, the Skeleton King roared again, as if completely angered by the disregard of the people in front of it.
It instantly swung the bone axe in its hand.
As sounds of air-breaking came one after another, the spiritual energy gathered on the bone axe became more and more concentrated, and its power continued to increase.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian's expression changed. He also swung the scythe of the God of Death in his hand.
Duan Xiang Si!
The first move of the Thirteen Forms of the God of Death Scythe was unleashed, colliding fiercely with the bone axe, instantly severing the bone axe and slashing across the Skeleton King's neck.
Boom!
The giant skull fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"It, it, it's just like that?"
Seeing the Skeleton King perish here, Yan Yun'er's eyes were filled with shock, finding it hard to believe what was happening before her.
She was a disciple of the Ninth Heaven Realm, basically reaching the Heaven level. Yet, even so, she and Su Yubai, working together, were almost killed by the Skeleton King.
This showed how terrifying the Skeleton King's strength was.
However, the terrifying existence in their eyes was actually killed in one move by Ye Cangtian...
"His combat power is at most at the early Heaven level. Killing him is not difficult for me!"
"You must know that after the Heaven level, the gap between each minor realm is like a world of difference!"
Ye Cangtian's words interrupted Yan Yun'er's thoughts. She stared blankly at him, her emotions calming down.
After all, this was what Qing Yan had said, and when she had challenged Ye Cangtian before, Ye Cangtian had stated that he was no longer at the early Heaven level cultivation.
Therefore, she could reluctantly accept that he could kill a Skeleton King in one move.
However, after figuring this out, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, and muttered, "So the gap between me and the Heaven level is still so big. I thought before..."
As she spoke, she thought about her previous challenge against a Heaven level expert. Now, it seemed like a joke.
Ye Cangtian glanced at Yan Yun'er, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Your combat power has basically reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven Realm, not much different from the Heaven level."
Hmph!
Yan Yun'er snorted lightly and glared at him, "I know my own capabilities, you don't need to waste your breath!"
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian chuckled at Yan Yun'er's attitude and then changed the subject, saying, "That purplish-gold crystal, it's mine. You have no objections, right?"
You...
With his words, Yan Yun'er gritted her teeth fiercely.
To deal with the Skeleton King, they had lost an entire team of disciples. Now that Ye Cangtian wanted the greatest benefit, she was naturally reluctant.
However, she also knew that without Ye Cangtian's intervention, let alone the benefits, even their lives would have been lost here.
It was only after thinking of this that Yan Yun'er did not stop him.
On the other hand, Ye Cangtian did not say any more. He directly walked to the Skeleton King's remains and put the purplish-gold crystal, the size of a chest, into his Qiankun bag.
After finishing everything, Ye Cangtian turned back to look at Yan Yun'er and the other, saying, "I still need to find the scattered people, so I won't waste your time. We'll meet again if fate allows!"
Waste time?
Hearing this word, Yan Yun'er almost exploded.
After all, she was a proud daughter of the Misty Rain Tower, a person who was usually doted upon. How many people wished they could strike up a conversation with her, but had no opportunity.
But now, this person actually treated her as a waste of time, which truly made her furious!
"You'd better disappear from our sight immediately, or when I recover, I will definitely cut you alive!"
Yan Yun'er said fiercely. However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized that Ye Cangtian had completely ignored her and had already left, leaving her with his back.
This...
Also looking at Ye Cangtian's retreating figure, Su Yubai, standing beside her, twitched his mouth.
Speaking of which, Yan Yun'er, whether in terms of appearance or cultivation, was an existence of the highest caliber. This person didn't even glance at her, was he even a man?
Or perhaps, it was the world of the strong, which he did not understand...
Thinking to himself, Su Yubai glanced at Yan Yun'er and said, "Senior Sister, you should heal first. I will collect the bodies of our fellow disciples and take them home."
Yan Yun'er nodded gloomily upon hearing this. She hadn't expected that the team she led would be almost wiped out on the first day of entering the Mustard Space.
This truly made her feel incredibly ashamed.
...
On the other side, after continuous searching, Ye Cangtian found the teleportation gate again and walked in directly.
The moment he stepped out of the teleportation gate, Ye Cangtian's expression changed slightly.
Under his feet was still the Corrosive Land, and the surrounding area was still withered vegetation.
However, what was different this time was that the surroundings were filled with miasma, and the visibility was very low, only about ten meters.
This was not a problem for him, who had strong mental power, but for other disciples, it was likely not good news.
Rumble rumble rumble...
Just as he made this judgment, the ground began to tremble slightly, and along with it came faint screams, constantly heard.
Hmm?
Ye Cangtian hurried over. However, before he could reach the scene, Ye Cangtian stopped, and his brows furrowed.
He could sense that a team was fighting against demons and was already on the verge of annihilation.
But strangely, there were still three not weak presences, standing in a triangular formation, distributed in three different directions at the scene.
However, they did not rescue them, but were watching from the sidelines, as if waiting to reap the benefits.
