Chapter 128 He Never Said This Word to Her

Chujiu was finally able to breathe smoothly. He took a deep breath and then saw Yu You attacking him.

I opened my mouth to yell, but I saw him quickly take it, though with some effort.

After receiving the move, he immediately used his spiritual energy to chop at the other tentacle that was wrapped around Chujiu's waist.

With a sword cut off, Chujiu fell to the ground.

And just when Mo Xinglan was about to cut off the tentacles wrapped around Chujiu's waist, several tentacles appeared from behind Yu You and wrapped around Mo Xinglan's waist.

He swung his sword again and cut off another new tentacle.

Yu You was so furious that evil spirit spread. Chujiu, who had just fallen to the ground, was suppressed by the evil spirit and couldn't get up.

In just this moment, four tentacles tightly wrapped around Mo Xinglan's limbs.

Before he could react, a tentacle mercilessly pierced through his chest and abdomen.

The intense pain made Mo Xinglan instinctively widen his eyes. He opened his mouth, took a deep breath and was about to shout, but before the sound came out, he gritted his teeth and held it back, and no sound came out at all.

He frowned, unwilling to be caught by Yu You like this, so he raised his right hand and swung the Xuanli sword.

But before he could swing his hands, the tentacles wrapped around his limbs and waist tightened and grew many one-centimeter-long spikes.

At the same time, the tentacle that pierced his body also grew sharp spikes.

The bright red blood stained his snow-white robe. Threads of blood gushed out of his mouth. He no longer had the strength to hold the sword, and even his head seemed to be tilted back with great heaviness.

With a clang, the Xuanli sword fell to the ground.

Chujiu, who had finally managed to kneel down under the pressure of the demonic energy, saw the Xuanli sword fall to the ground and immediately had a bad premonition.

When he looked up, his breathing stagnated and he stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

"!!"

I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.

His mind went blank for a moment, and in his eyes he saw the reflection of Mo Xinglan being pierced by the tentacles.

The feeling of being suppressed by the demonic energy seemed insignificant at this moment. His body began to tremble unconsciously.

"Please ask the taskmaster to get up immediately and rescue Mo Xinglan." Piaomiao appeared and warned.

"..."

The vague warning was like a rope that pulled her back to reality and brought her back to her senses. However, her mind was still blank.

She stood up numbly, picked up the fallen Xuan Li sword, and held it tightly regardless of the backlash. With both hands holding the sword, she flew up and chopped at Yu You with all her might, with a fierce force.

But after all, she was not the master of the Xuan Li Sword. In her hand, the Xuan Li Sword was just like an ordinary lifeless iron sword. Moreover, the opponent was Yu You, who was much stronger than her, so how could it be useful?

But she completely forgot about it and just kept chopping again and again.

In her hand, the Xuanli Sword did not seem like a divine weapon with immense power, but rather like a kitchen knife without any spirituality.

Yu You blocked it casually with a sneer on his face, completely treating her like a child.

He used his magic power to knock her away again and again, but she flew up and chopped him again and again.

But she chopped so many times, and with Mo Xinglan's blood still on the Xuan Li sword, she actually managed to cut a hole in the tentacle that Yu You was blocking.

“?!” Yu You was shocked.

When she chopped at him again, Yu You dragged Mo Xinglan in front of him to block her.

The sharp sword blade fell quickly and stopped suddenly at the critical moment, only a few centimeters above Mo Xinglan's neck.

Fortunately, the Xuanli Sword could not exert any of its original power in her hands, and naturally there was no sword energy, so it did not cause further harm to Mo Xinglan.

She numbly lifted the sword away, holding her right hand at her side, and looked at him with empty eyes.

"..."

Mo Xinglan looked at her hand hanging by her side, which was already covered in blood due to the backlash from her forced use of Xuan Li.

Complex emotions surged up all at once.

When I looked up at her face again, I found that those eyes, which used to be lively and bright, were now filled with despair and emptiness.

He was stunned, and his heart trembled because of this look.

He immediately thought of something, and his expression turned into disgust, and he whispered: Get out!

"?!" The ends of her beautiful eyebrows suddenly drooped and tears filled her eyes.

Because of his one word, tears rolled down my cheeks, and I felt despair and grievance.

He actually told her to get out! He looked at her with disgust. He had never said this word to her.

"No." Her voice was small, filled with grievance and stubbornness.

"..." Mo Xinglan frowned, closed his eyes and stopped looking at her.

How can he protect her now that he is like this?

Yu You's target from the beginning was him. Now that his goal has been achieved, he will naturally not do anything to her anymore.

He didn't want her to see him in such a mess, and he didn't want to see her get hurt because of him.

At this moment, Yu You swung a tentacle towards Chujiu and threw her far away.

"Oh!"

Chujiu fell to the ground, and Xuanli sword left his right hand.

"?!"

Hearing the sound, Mo Xinglan suddenly opened his eyes and looked over, his eyes full of worry.

"Are you feeling sad now?" Yu You sneered with a gloating look.

“……”Mo Xinglan ignored him and continued looking at Chujiu.

"Humph!"

Yu You snorted coldly.

Chujiu slowly climbed up by supporting himself on the ground. After he stood firmly, he did not pick up the Xuanli sword on the ground, nor did he fight with Yu You again.

The fall finally calmed her down, and she started thinking about how to rescue Mo Xinglan.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then stood there looking at Yu You with cold eyes.

In Yu You's opinion, her expression at this moment was very similar to Mo Xinglan's expression before.

He sneered, "Why don't you continue chopping? Are you going to stage a scene like the time he saved you?"

After a while she replied: "No."

After a pause, he said, "I'm just curious."

Looking at the Lingyun Whip under Yu You's feet, she was calculating in her mind.

In the obsessive dream of the psychedelic forest, she experienced Ling Yun’s life and knew how to use the Ling Yun Whip most powerfully.

But her current strength is far from Ling Yun's strength at that time, and she is unable to maximize the power of Ling Yun Whip.

She thought of a way to save Mo Xinglan, but it would take time, so she asked Yu You.

She didn't have the strength to save Mo Xinglan, but she had the Lingyun Whip. However, the prerequisite was that she had to allow the Lingyun Whip to exert its full capabilities and she had to control it remotely.

The blood on Chujiu's hand dropped to the ground and disappeared silently.

Yu You was interested in her words.

"Curious about what?" he asked.

"I'm very curious. You obviously have enough strength to kill me and him, so why don't you do this? Don't you want to leave the secret realm? You know we are delaying time, but you don't take this opportunity to chase the Palace Master, but instead waste time with us here, why?" She asked the question in her mind calmly.
