Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Seeing that Gan Sanlang had been tricked, Tang Xinyue smiled slightly and continued to close her eyes to heal her injuries.

Shen Bai saw it all, but inwardly he was constantly complaining.

You've had your fill of talk, so now I'm giving away my mid-grade spirit stones for free?

How dare someone who can't even afford three hundred spirit stones make such a sarcastic remark?

However, he also knew very well that Tang Xinyue was doing this in order to continuously deplete Gan Sanlang's spiritual power, preventing him from healing and recuperating. Only by weakening one side and strengthening the other could he win the battle.

Although the mid-grade spirit stones in the array plate were being consumed quickly, they should still last for a while. Shen Bai turned around and continued to make his ultimate weapon.

……

Gan Sanlang was in great pain.

He dared not use powerful spells, fearing that he would expend too much spiritual energy and be unable to face the counterattack from the people inside the house after breaking the protective array.

The problem is, without using powerful spells, he can't break through this hard tortoise shell in a short time by relying only on third-tier spirit talismans!

This predicament, where neither side can advance nor retreat, is like having taken a blue pill and about to engage in a fierce battle, only to find out that the other side is wearing chastity belts!

Who understands the feeling of not having a key?

After a moment, Gan Sanlang suddenly noticed a violent fluctuation in the house's defensive formation, realizing that the other party must be running out of spirit stones.

Overjoyed, he intensified his attacks with the talisman in his hand and the tongue in his mouth.

After a while, Gan Sanlang felt his tongue was about to go numb. After a violent fluctuation, the tortoise shell actually returned to stability.

What's going on?

Gan Sanlang was unwilling to give up and bombarded the formation a few more times. The defensive formation fluctuated violently again, which made him overjoyed. The attacks from the talisman in his hand and the tongue in his mouth became fierce again.

As the fight went on, Gan Sanlang noticed something was wrong, because the tortoise shell had stabilized again.

"Bastards! How dare you play me!"

Although Gan Sanlang was a beast cultivator, he was not stupid. He immediately understood that these two violent fluctuations were just the other party slightly reducing the spiritual power output in the array plate to give him a little treat.

"Guess how many mid-grade spirit stones I have left?"

A deep voice suddenly came from inside the room.

Gan Sanlang was so angry he was practically fuming: "I don't care how many you have left! I didn't want to use that move, but since you're courting death, don't blame me!"

Shen Bai and Shen Wenwen inside the room immediately became alert, and the defensive formation was activated to its maximum.

Gan Sanlang outside stopped his attack, even retracting his tongue, which was several meters long, and frantically gathered all his spiritual power at that moment.

"Want to zoom in?"

Without a second thought, Shen Bai woke Tang Xinyue and handed her a dark object: "When I open the door, use all your strength to smash this on him or at his feet, okay?"

Tang Xinyue looked at the strange magical artifact in her hand, unsure of what the other party wanted to do, but still nodded and said, "No problem!"

Shen Bai turned around and opened the door. Tang Xinyue's divine sense instantly locked onto Gan Sanlang, who was casting a skill animation. At the same time, the magic weapon in her hand turned into a stream of light and was thrown out.

Shen Bai didn't even bother to look at the results of the battle outside; he simply closed the door.

The opening and closing took only a moment.

Gan Sanlang was overjoyed to see the door open, but he did not expect that a dark magic artifact would be thrown out of the room.

"What is this?"

Gan Sanlang hurriedly activated his magic robe, intending to use his tongue to sweep away the magic artifact, but his movements were slowed down because his spiritual power was gathering into the violent Kuiyin Purple Lightning.

"I was careless!"

Gan Sanlang never dreamed that his opponent would launch a sneak attack on him while he was preparing a powerful spell.

This sixth brother has no sense of martial ethics!

The crudely made cluster bomb, composed of hundreds of spirit stones, exploded with a deafening roar at that moment.

A massive shockwave of spiritual energy slammed into the house, instantly draining the spiritual energy from the mid-grade spirit stones on the second-tier defensive array plate.

Gan Sanlang's already somewhat damaged robes were torn to shreds, as if they were made of paper.

"Ahhhhh—"

Gan Sanlang was already seriously injured, and his spiritual energy was gathering to form a powerful spell. This explosion of spiritual energy triggered the spiritual energy within him, causing his internal and external spiritual energy to explode simultaneously. The dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator was directly blasted into a pile of mangled flesh.

"disease!"

The door of the house was wide open, and Tang Xinyue made a sword incantation with her hands. A black flying sword transformed into a streak of black light and pierced towards Gan Sanlang.

Gan Sanlang tried his best to move his tongue, but it was as weak and feeble as a limp shrimp.

The flying sword darted swiftly, severing Gan Sanlang's tongue at the root in just a few strokes.

Tang Xinyue did not relax. She pointed her sword forward and the flying sword instantly pierced Gan Sanlang's dantian. Gan Sanlang wanted to resist, but he quickly went limp like a balloon that had been pricked by a needle.

The flying sword did not stop there; it darted through the air again, severing Gan Sanlang's hands and feet, turning him into a human pig.

Seeing that the other party had no power to resist, the flying sword picked up Gan Sanlang's storage ring and returned to Tang Xinyue's hand.

The beast cultivator's cultivation is all contained in his body. No one knows whether Gan Sanlang has any other limbs besides his several-meter-long tongue that have reverted to their ancestral form. If he were to develop a third leg that was eighteen feet long, that would be a real problem.

Therefore, one must not be careless when dealing with beast cultivators.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Tang Xinyue's tense mind, which had been in turmoil for several days, immediately relaxed. Her body swayed slightly, and she almost fell to the ground.

A pair of strong arms caught Tang Xinyue's slender waist in time.

The strong masculine hormones and the warm embrace gave Tang Xinyue a sense of security and invigorated her weary spirit: "I need to take him to the front line. Only by handing over him and the essence blood he extracted can we quell the rage of the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor."

Shen Bai nodded, helped her up, and walked into the courtyard. He then put away her third-tier Illusion Killing Array, and the sounds from the outside world immediately entered the courtyard.

Worried about the monster tide, Tang Xinyue struggled to raise her flying sword, grabbed Gan Sanlang, and soared into the sky.

Shen Bai watched her leave, wanting to call out, "My spirit stones!" but then he thought that the safety of Jiangbei City was more important at this moment, so he held back.

No rush, they can't escape.

A worried figure appeared before Shen Bai: "Shen Bai? Are you alright?"

Shen Bai was taken aback: "An Li, weren't you trapped in Jiangzhong District? How did you get here?"

"The rescue team has arrived. I couldn't get in touch with you, and I was worried something might have happened to you, so I came looking for you!"

An Li's words warmed Shen Bai's heart, like sunshine suddenly illuminating a gloomy winter day, instantly warming his body and soul.

Jiangbei City is now shrouded in darkness before dawn, with monsters wreaking havoc everywhere and criminals taking advantage of the situation to rob people. At this time, An Li has traveled across half the city to find him, so one can imagine how many hardships and dangers she must have encountered along the way.

Seeing her flushed face, panting from running, her brow furrowed with a mixture of worry and joy, he, having survived the ordeal, couldn't help but pull her into his arms: "Thank you!"
