The whole family is full of evil disciples, Master, don't panic, your disciples are here

As they went deeper, the air around them gradually became damp and cold.

Ji Xiuzhu's spiritual awareness was always outward, alert to any possible unusual movements.

Cui Yunshen gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and took every step very carefully. He knew that in this unknown place, any small negligence could bring fatal consequences.

Suddenly, Ji Xiuzhu stopped and her eyes were fixed on the darkness ahead.

Cui Yunshen immediately realized something and pointed the tip of his sword forward, ready to attack at any time.

"Be careful, something seems to be approaching." Ji Xiuzhu's voice was low and serious.

Just as he finished speaking, a low roar came from the darkness, and then a pair of green eyes appeared in the darkness.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen immediately prepared for battle.

As the green light approached, a huge creature slowly walked out of the darkness.

It had sharp claws and hard scales, and was obviously a spiritual beast guarding a spiritual treasure.

"Be careful, its scales are very hard and ordinary attacks may not be able to penetrate them." Ji Xiuzhu secretly reminded Cui Yunshen, while gathering spiritual power in his hands.

Cui Yunshen nodded, and the tip of his sword began to flash a faint red light. This was the unique sword energy of his Shaoyang Sword, which was extremely fierce and sharp.

When the spirit beast saw the two people trespassing without permission, it immediately let out a deafening roar, trying to drive them away.

But seeing that the two remained unmoved, the spirit beast suddenly pounced on them.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen quickly separated. After looking at each other, they planned to attack the spirit beast from both sides.

Ji Xiuzhu's spiritual power was like a snake, entwining the body of the spirit beast, while Cui Yunshen's sword energy was directed at the spirit beast's eyes, which was its only weakness.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the power of the spirit beast was far beyond the expectations of the two.

Each of its attacks was accompanied by a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy, causing the air in the cave to vibrate.

Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen moved quickly in the cave, their movements were like ghosts, and every dodge was extremely accurate. Although the attack of the spirit beast was fierce, the cooperation between the two was even more tacit.

The spirit beast's claws struck with a sound of breaking through the air, and every swing made the surrounding air whistle sharply.

Ji Xiuzhu's body flashed, and she avoided the attack of the spirit beast like a phantom. At the same time, the spiritual power in her hands condensed, and instantly formed a series of spiritual power chains that restrained the movement of the spirit beast.

Cui Yunshen was like a flash of red lightning. His Shaoyang sword energy drew dazzling tracks in the darkness, and each stab was aimed directly at the spirit beast's eyes.

However, the scales of the spirit beast were extremely hard, and although the sword energy was sharp, it could only leave shallow marks on the scales.

During the battle, Ji Xiuzhu suddenly turned around, her figure flashed before the spirit beast's eyes, and the spiritual power chains instantly wrapped around the spirit beast's limbs.

The spirit beast let out an angry roar and tried to break free, but Ji Xiuzhu's spiritual power chains were extremely tough, making the spirit beast's movements slow.

Cui Yunshen seized this opportunity and leaped up suddenly. The Shaoyang sword energy was condensed to the extreme at this moment, and his goal was directly at the throat of the spirit beast.

That is the place where the spirit beast's scales cannot cover, and it is also its most vulnerable spot.

However, just as Cui Yunshen's sword was about to touch the spirit beast's throat, a powerful spiritual power wave suddenly burst out from the spirit beast's body, which actually shattered Ji Xiuzhu's spiritual power chain.

Then the spirit beast's claws swung towards Cui Yunshen with violent force.

Cui Yunshen's face changed, and he twisted his body forcefully in the air, narrowly avoiding the spirit beast's fatal blow.

However, the spirit beast's attack did not end. Its tail was like a giant whip, and it lashed towards Cui Yunshen fiercely with a sound of breaking through the air.

At this critical moment, Ji Xiuzhu's figure suddenly appeared beside Cui Yunshen.

She just flipped her palm and a powerful protective barrier was formed instantly, blocking Cui Yunshen.

The spirit beast's tail hit the barrier, making a huge roar that shook the entire cave.

Ji Xiuzhu's face turned pale and her body shook slightly. It was obvious that the spiritual power barrier just now consumed a lot of her energy.

Cui Yunshen immediately steadied himself and stood beside Ji Xiuzhu. Then, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Master, let's go together!" Cui Yunshen's voice was firm and powerful.

Ji Xiuzhu nodded, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

The momentum of the two reached its peak at this moment, and their spiritual powers intertwined in the cave, forming dazzling rays of light.

The spirit beast felt the momentum of the two men, and a hint of vigilance flashed across its eyes, but was immediately replaced by a violent fighting spirit.

Then, it let out a deafening roar, and gathered all its strength to pounce on the two again.

Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen looked at each other, and then they understood what each other meant.

Cui Yunshen and Ji Xiuzhu attacked at the same time, one using swordsmanship and the other using spiritual power, and their coordination was seamless.

With clear division of labor and the cooperation of men and women, the work is not tiring.

Originally, I thought Ji Xiuzhu would be the supporting one, but unexpectedly, Ji Xiuzhu was charging forward with the Zhuxian Sword, while Cui Yunshen was standing by to support Ji Xiuzhu.

For a moment, the two figures were intricately intertwined, and their attacks fell on the spirit beast like a torrential rain.

Seeing this, the spirit beast Jian was overwhelmed and could only dodge left and right, but he still couldn't avoid getting hit a few times.

Gradually, as time went on, the spirit beast's movements became slower and slower, and even many wounds visible to the naked eye appeared on its body.

So, seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu changed his sword skills instantly and immediately used his ultimate move. Then a sword light turned into countless ice blades and pierced straight into the spirit beast's eyes.

The spirit beast was unable to dodge and felt a burst of pain. Then it roared and began to struggle desperately.

Ji Xiuzhu took the opportunity to release all his spiritual power, which turned into a big hand and tightly grasped the spirit beast.

Then, she rushed forward and continued to kill him dozens of times.

Finally, the spirit beast was unable to resist and fell heavily to the ground.

Cui Yunshen and Ji Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. Although the battle was difficult, they successfully defeated the spirit beast.

Ji Xiuzhu walked forward and used his sword to cut off a piece of scale in front of the spirit beast's heart. When the scale was removed, it still emitted a faint spiritual light.

"Keep this thing and give it to your fifth senior brother later. Although it is not as good as your eldest senior brother's heart-protecting scale, it is also something that can save your life at a critical moment." Ji Xiuzhu gave the scale to Cui Yunshen, then slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his hands.

Cui Yunshen took the scales and said with a smile: "My Master, why didn't you hand them over to the brothers yourself, but let me do it?"

"Your senior brothers are just like stinky stones. I don't bother to pay attention to them." Ji Xiuzhu rolled his eyes at Cui Yunshen. "Besides, I asked you to do something because I trust you. Don't you think about why I asked you to go alone and not Zhang San or Li Si?"

Cui Yunshen heard this and instantly gave Ji Xiuzhu a thumbs up in his heart: You are the master. You have found such a plausible excuse. Looking at the entire secret realm, is there anyone else besides me around you?

But there is no way, after all she is the master.

So Cui Yunshen chuckled, scratched his head, and quickly put the scales away.

He knew in his heart that although Ji Xiuzhu said this, he actually cared about his fellow brothers very much.

"Okay, we shouldn't stay here for long, let's leave here quickly. It will be troublesome if we attract other spirit beasts." Ji Xiuzhu put away the Zhuxian Sword, turned around and walked away.

Cui Yunshen nodded and followed Ji Xiuzhu. The two walked further and further away and disappeared into the forest.
