As she thought about it, her eyes gradually became determined. Although the situation was unfavorable, she did not give up.
"Hmph, a mere human dares to challenge me!" The man sneered and attacked even more fiercely.
Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but clench his teeth.
She knew she couldn't just fight hard and had to look for opportunities.
So, while defending herself, she observed the man's attack pattern, trying to find a flaw.
"The Red-Gold Winged Tiger Clan is known for its strength, but they rely too much on strength and often neglect speed and flexibility." Ji Xiuzhu analyzed secretly in her heart, and her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found a solution.
Then, she relaxed her brows and began to consciously guide the man's attack, using her flexible body to move around in the narrow space, gradually consuming the man's strength.
Although the man was very strong, his movements began to become a little slow as time went on.
Ji Xiuzhu seized the opportunity and suddenly changed the rhythm of his attack. The Zhuxian Sword stabbed at the man's vitals like a spirit snake.
The man was startled and stepped back quickly, but the tip of Ji Xiuzhu's sword had already cut through his collar.
"You!" the man roared. He didn't expect that he would be hurt by a human woman.
Ji Xiuzhu sneered and did not give him a chance to breathe. She quickly retreated, took out a piece of talisman from her arms, and muttered something.
The talisman paper spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into a stream of light and rushing straight towards the man.
The man was shocked and hurriedly waved his palm to resist, but the power of the talisman paper was beyond his expectation. He was knocked back several steps with a gloomy face.
"What kind of magic is this?" the man asked angrily.
Ji Xiuzhu sneered: "This is a power that you, the Red Gold Winged Tigers, cannot understand. Do you want to know? This is called a talisman! It was drawn by my third disciple!"
Having said that, she didn't give the man more time to think, and swung the Zhuxian Sword again, launching a fierce attack.
Although the man was angry, he had already lost the initiative and could only defend himself passively.
The battle lasted for a long time, but Ji Xiuzhu took advantage of this opportunity to gradually gain the upper hand.
Under Ji Xiuzhu's fierce attack, the man finally showed a flaw. Ji Xiuzhu seized the opportunity and stabbed the man in the chest with a sword. The man screamed and fell to the ground.
Ji Xiuzhu walked forward and pointed his sword at the man's throat.
"As expected of the Red-Gold Winged Tiger Clan, their power is truly incredible. But you're blocking my way," she asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, the man snorted coldly: "Why, if you want to kill me, then kill me. I am not as skilled as you, it is because I have not learned the art well enough. Now that I have been defeated by you, you don't have to be so sarcastic."
Ji Xiuzhu's eyes turned cold, and the Zhuxian Sword in his hand moved slightly, piercing the man's skin, and a drop of blood oozed out.
"Want to die? That's not that easy." Ji Xiuzhu said, "Since you dare to block my way, you have to pay the price. However, I don't want to kill you yet."
The man frowned, not understanding what Ji Xiuzhu meant.
"I have never had a decent mount in my life." Ji Xiuzhu smiled crookedly, and then continued, "How about I take you in as my mount today?"
The man's heart sank, knowing that he had no choice.
He wanted to resist, but Ji Xiuzhu's sword strike just now had already scared him out of his wits.
He didn't know why he was afraid of a little girl, but that instinctive fear was like blood suppression, which forced him to bow his head.
A trace of humiliation flashed in the man's eyes, but facing the tip of Ji Xiuzhu's sword, he finally chose to surrender.
Although the Red-Gold Winged Tiger Clan is proud, when faced with life and death, any creature will instinctively choose to survive.
"Okay, I promise you." The man said gritting his teeth, his voice full of unwillingness.
Ji Xiuzhu put away the Zhuxian Sword and nodded with satisfaction. She knew that taming such a powerful mount would be of great benefit to her future actions.
"Then prove your loyalty now," Ji Xiuzhu ordered, "Take us away from here, and tell me why you are here."
After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and a contract mark appeared on the man's forehead.
Although the man was unwilling in his heart, he bowed his head respectfully on the surface: "Yes, Master."
He stood up, dusted himself off, and turned to walk towards the other end of the riverbed.
Ji Xiuzhu followed him vigilantly, with the Zhu Xian Sword ready to strike at any time in case the man made any unusual movements.
They crossed a dry riverbed and came to a hidden cave entrance.
The man stopped and turned back to Ji Xiuzhu and said, "This is a secret passage leading to the outside world. We can leave from here."
Ji Xiuzhu nodded. She noticed a sly look in the man's eyes, but she didn't show it.
She knew that now was not the time to let her guard down.
"Let's go." Ji Xiuzhu said calmly. They entered the cave, which was winding inside, but the man seemed to be very familiar with it, leading Ji Xiuzhu and Gu Xingyun forward quickly.
As Ji Xiuzhu walked, he left marks on the wall with the Zhu Xian Sword to prevent himself from getting lost.
I don’t know how long I walked until Ji Xiuzhu felt tired, and then I saw a ray of light not far away.
"Master, the exit is in front." The man said, and respectfully made way for the exit.
Ji Xiuzhu looked at his posture. Although he was anxious to go out, he was still a little worried.
So she rolled her eyes and said calmly, "You go out first."
The man was stunned, obviously not expecting Ji Xiuzhu to make such a request.
He hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Ji Xiuzhu's determined eyes, he knew that he had no room for refusal.
He nodded and walked carefully towards the exit.
When Ji Xiuzhu saw him leave, she followed him closely. She hid the Zhuxian Sword in her sleeve, ready to deal with any possible changes at any time.
Her eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, observing the man's every move to make sure he wouldn't suddenly attack.
The man walked out of the cave, the sunlight shone on him, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Ji Xiuzhu followed closely behind. She quickly looked around and relaxed her vigilance slightly after confirming that there was no ambush.
"This is the back mountain of the Shenyin Sect, not far from the sect gate." The man explained, a hint of fatigue in his voice.
Ji Xiuzhu nodded. She knew it was relatively safe here, but she still didn't dare to be careless.
She said to the man, "You go first, I will follow behind you."
Although the man was unhappy, the power of the contract made it impossible for him to resist. He could only follow Ji Xiuzhu's orders and continue forward.
Ji Xiuzhu carried Gu Xingyun on her back, keeping a certain distance, her eyes always fixed on the man.
She knew that although the man appeared to be surrendering now, she could not let her guard down because of the nature of the Red-Gold Winged Tiger Tribe.
They walked in silence all the way, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the mountains and forests.
