331. The two women arrived together.
"Brother Xiao Yan!" A soft, ethereal voice, filled with longing and heartache, rang out!
However, just before the sound appeared, Xiao Yan fainted due to weakness and his severe injuries. His exertion was immense; Tang Qiying's attack combined with the drain of forcibly activating his secret technique nearly killed him instantly. Therefore, Xiao Yan didn't even notice the arrival of the golden flames, while Tang Qiying couldn't ignore it. He sensed an unusually strong killing intent within the golden flames, and Tang Qiying thought, "This is bad!"
But his movements didn't stop; instead, he pushed his battle qi to its limit, the twin blades nearly collapsing from the constant infusion of qi. He then stabbed directly at Xiao Yan. After Tang Qiying finished charging, the twin blades instantly left his hand, followed by several points of eerie light that shot out, precisely targeting all the vital acupoints on Xiao Yan's body. The black light was actually a series of sharp, silver-black poison needles, their tips swirling with poisonous gas.
Having finished everything, Tang Qiying didn't stop. He spread his wings and fled directly out of the Starfall Pavilion without looking back. He sensed the danger of the golden flames, so he simply retreated, hoping that his final killing move would annihilate Xiao Yan's soul! However, Tang Qiying's departure was still too slow. A cold voice had already sounded in his ear.
"You deserve to die if you hurt him!"
A dazzling golden flame streaked towards Tang Qiying like lightning, stirring a sense of unease within him. This golden flame gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. Tang Qiying gritted his teeth: "Another strange fire?!"
Several powerful wind-attribute battle qi surged from his hands, forming overlapping layers of wind-attribute defense. Tang Qiying only wanted to escape quickly; once he left the Starfall Pavilion, he would have plenty of opportunities to kill Xiao Yan. However, the golden flames pierced through all his defenses, aiming directly for his heart. Feeling the intense heat so close at hand, Tang Qiying raised his hand to block, but his arm was immediately pierced, and it even began to burn fiercely. The golden flames transformed into a golden pillar of light, piercing through Tang Qiying's chest, and yellow and green colors suddenly shone brightly on his chest.
However, even the seemingly invincible earth and wood elemental defensive formations were directly destroyed by the golden flames. A charred hole appeared in Tang Qiying's chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood along with his charred internal organs, flying backward in a sorry state. But in mid-air, he managed to steady himself, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he directly burrowed into the ground, disappearing from the spot.
The owner of the golden flames was a slender figure in a green robe. Her brows and eyes possessed an indelible nobility, a true dignity that could not be ignored. Her long, flowing black hair was casually tied back, cascading smoothly down her graceful curves. Her aura was like that of a celestial maiden who had wandered into the mortal realm, inspiring no sense of impropriety. Her face was flawlessly beautiful, her fair skin so delicate it seemed one could break it with a touch, and a healthy, vibrant blush graced her cheeks. Her eyes were like autumn waters, possessing a unique magic that could instantly dispel any worry in one's heart.
The person who arrived was none other than Xun'er, who had rushed from the Ancient Realm upon hearing Xiao Yan's message. Xun'er immediately landed beside Xiao Yan, shielding him from Tang Qiying's final killing blow. Ignoring the bloodstains on Xiao Yan's body, she gently embraced him. Sensing that Xiao Yan's aura, though weak, hadn't completely vanished, the worry in Xun'er's beautiful eyes lessened somewhat. The gentlest golden Dou Qi was then slowly channeled into Xiao Yan's body through Xun'er's hands.
Two old men appeared on either side of Xun'er, their eyes filled with shame. In their haste, their young lady had unleashed her full power, surpassing them in speed in a short time and arriving first to save Xiao Yan from his impending death.
"Miss, should we still chase after that person?" an old man asked. Tang Qiying, having just received Xun'er's attack, immediately used the momentum to escape in a disheveled state. For a moment, even the two old men could only feel a faint connection. The two old men were secretly astonished by Tang Qiying's superb escape skills.
Xun'er looked up and saw a strong and cold killing intent flashing in her beautiful eyes, but she suppressed it and instead showed her infinite concern for the seriously injured Xiao Yan in her arms: "Go help Qing Lin and end these troubles. Brother Xiao Yan needs a quiet environment to heal."
The two elders exchanged a glance and then flew directly into the sky, their hearts churning with turmoil. Their young mistress was an absolute jewel in the ancient clan, admired and secretly loved by countless young men. Yet, she had always treated everyone with indifference, her demeanor always aloof and distant. She would never show such concern for a man as she did today. If the younger generation of the ancient clan were to witness this scene, those hot-blooded youths would probably be furious.
However, these were not things they should be concerned about. Since their young lady had brought them out, they naturally had to fulfill her orders. However, the two were also somewhat troubled, as they were only at the Dou Zun level. In most areas of Zhongzhou, the two of them could control the situation. Even in Zhongzhou, reaching the Dou Zun level meant being an absolute top expert. But today, both the Tianluan Clan and the Tianyaohuang Clan were somewhat beyond their control. Two one-star Dou Shengs didn't need to give them any face; now, they had no choice but to invoke the background of their ancient clans.
After the two left, Xun'er took out a pill the size of a longan from her storage ring—a seventh-grade Life-Returning Pill! As long as the person taking it hasn't completely lost their life force, it can preserve their life force to the greatest extent possible, allowing them to recover. Xun'er's pill was even among the best of the seventh-grade pills, almost reaching the eighth-grade level with its own sentience. Looking at the pill, a blush suddenly rose on Xun'er's flawless face. However, seeing Xiao Yan in her arms, his breath weak and his face contorted in pain, Xun'er suppressed a hint of shyness, put the pill in her mouth, and then gently transferred the medicinal liquid from the pill to Xiao Yan with a kiss.
The Life-Returning Pill is specifically designed for those who are severely injured. Although its medicinal energy is strong, its effects are quite slow to take hold and are not particularly potent. Xiao Yan's basic physique is robust, so there's no need to worry about him absorbing it for the time being.
Xun'er was focused on feeding Xiao Yan his medicine and didn't notice her surroundings, allowing someone to walk up to them. It was a woman in a flowing white dress stained with blood, with a pretty face, gentle demeanor, and eyes full of concern for Xiao Yan.
