Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Bai Xiaobai didn't expect the Shadow Wolf to be so troublesome, even though Changling had the upper hand just now.

But in the blink of an eye, the situation took a dramatic turn.

She called out anxiously to Xuanhu.

"Quickly go help! This wolf is cunning and poisonous. Sister Changling is in danger."

Xuanhu naturally wanted to help, but he was afraid that if he left, Bai Xiaobai and A Yin would be attacked by other ferocious beasts.

Besides, it thought that even if the Shadow Wolf's saliva was poisonous, it shouldn't be able to poison the sword spirit.

Just when things were in danger, Bai Xiaobai suddenly remembered that Changling had said her blood was very special.

Seeing the red-clad sword spirit in excruciating pain, with patches of black spots appearing on its body due to corrosion, Bai Xiaobai still issued a command to A Yin.

"Ah Yin, take me to Changling's side, Xuanhu, lead the way."

Ah Yin and Xuan Hu couldn't see the red-clad sword spirit, so they naturally didn't know that the Shadow Wolf's poisonous saliva would harm the sword spirit.

"Young master, it's too dangerous to go there. Besides, Changling is a sword, so it shouldn't be poisoned, right?"

"That's right, you stay with Ah Yin, I'll go help."

Seeing that Changling's body was already covered in poisonous saliva, Bai Xiaobai could no longer explain to them.

"Hurry, Changling is in danger!"

Hearing her anxious, childlike voice, Ah Yin and Xuan Hu exchanged a glance, then reminded Bai Xiaobai to sit tight before rushing off to where Chang Ling and the Shadow Wolf were.

Fortunately, Changling had already dealt with most of the ferocious beasts by this time, and with Xuanhu, a fourth-tier beast, there wasn't too much time wasted.

At a distance of only one battle from Changling, Xuanhu was entangled by the ferocious beasts that surrounded him.

The Shadow Wolf noticed what was happening behind it. It bared its mouth and its voice was chilling.

"You're rushing here to die. Once I destroy your sword spirit, let's see what kind of backer you'll have left."

The red-clad sword spirit was emitting hissing black smoke, yet it didn't utter a single groan.

It was surprised to see Bai Xiaobai and A Yin.

It never expected that the Shadow Wolf's venom could actually harm its spiritual body.

Moreover, this poisonous saliva can even damage the soul.

It roamed freely across the heavens and earth for a thousand years, unrestrained and naturally proud. Even being sealed away for a thousand years did not diminish its arrogance, but only intensified its bloodlust.

It naturally looked down on Bai Xiaobai, the little snake with whom it had formed a soul contract. Moreover, it hadn't taken the threats and inducements it had made in the Demon Beast Forest to heart.

It was just too bored, so before it could avenge the thousand-year seal, it just wanted to find some fun to keep itself from being too bored.

Unexpectedly, it was injured by a ferocious beast due to carelessness, and there was even a possibility that its soul would be completely annihilated.

It must be admitted that this Shadow Wolf is powerful and intelligent.

So, though it was unwilling to accept its fate, it was defeated by a ferocious beast.

After all, it believed that while the little snake was foolish, it wouldn't be foolish enough to save a sword that wanted to kill its master.

While Ah Yin was still searching for a weakness in the Shadow Wolf, Bai Xiaobai had already jumped off its back.

Changling didn't understand her behavior at all, but perhaps because the little one was somewhat similar to herself in some ways, she endured the pain of her soul being burned and let her escape quickly.

"Little fellow, take your white tiger and run away quickly. I may never see your senior brother again. If you live, please tell him that in the Thousand Treasures Cave, he was the first Qingxiao Sect disciple to wipe my sword. Also, please tell him that he is the only cultivator I can respect."

Bai Xiaobai didn't have time to reply to Changling; she was currently sending a telepathic message to A Yin with trepidation.

"Ah Yin, find a way to lure the Shadow Wolves away. Don't get entangled in the fight, just draw them away."

Ah Yin didn't know what she was going to do, but in the short two days they spent together, she knew that this little baby she had taken as her master could be very reliable at times.

And he's smart enough.

So it didn't ask any more questions.

"Be careful, little master."

Then Ah Yin raised her head and roared, the deafening thunderous sound spreading outwards.

Golden lightning surged around it, and layers of golden lightning attacked the Shadow Wolf.

The Shadow Wolf, under attack, sensed the faint soul power beneath its claws.

After hesitating for a moment, it finally released its grip.

Bai Xiaobai had already found the nearest hiding place.

Having witnessed the Shadow Wolf being lured away by Ah Yin, he hurriedly took his short legs to the side of the dying red-clad sword spirit.

With a thought, a small dagger appeared in her hand.

This is what Yuanbao and Lingtian put in her storage bag; it's a low-level spiritual treasure for her self-defense.

Without the slightest hesitation, she used the dagger to slash her palms, then pressed her hands tightly against the rusty sword.

The red-clad sword spirit's body had faded to the point of almost dissipating, but upon seeing Bai Xiaobai's actions, it ultimately gave her a smile.

"Don't waste your energy, my soul is about to perish, it's useless. Little one, thank you. Those two tigers are no match for the Shadow Wolves, run away quickly."

Bai Xiaobai endured the pain, only to find that not a single drop of her blood had been absorbed.

She was both anxious and angry, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"A mighty natural disaster, wiped out by a ferocious beast? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you? You've got your eye on my blood, here you go, drink as much as you want. And what you wanted to say to my senior brother, go say it yourself, I'm not going to be your messenger."

Changling slowly raised her almost transparent arm, trying to touch the tearful little dumpling, but she couldn't grasp anything.

"Thank you, Bai Xiaobai. You are very special. I hope you can get what you want in the future, be free and unrestrained forever."

Seeing that the red-clad sword spirit was about to disappear, Bai Xiaobai became extremely anxious.

She mustered all her strength to circulate her spiritual energy and shouted it out.

"I, Bai Xiaobai, am commanding you to drink this by my master's orders."

As the last word was uttered, the Changling Shengxiu sword instantly flashed red light.

The blood from the wound quickly spread across the entire blade.

Changling's almost transparent body gradually became more solid.

As blood continued to seep in, the rusted blade gradually regained its original sharpness, and even the nicks on the blade slowly became smooth.

The fine lines slowly lit up along the traces of blood, and tiny golden lightning crackled and trembled across the sword's surface.

A clear, sharp sword cry rose into the sky.

The red-clad sword spirit slowly opened its eyes, glanced down, and then gently raised its arm to hold the unconscious Bai Xiaobai in its arms.

He then leaped into the air, and just as the Shadow Wolf's claws were about to touch Ah Yin, the sword used its overwhelming power to send the Shadow Wolf flying.

It entrusted the tiny bundle to Ah Yin to take care of.

It took one last look at Bai Xiaobai's pale face, and a smile appeared on its lips.

Ah Yin felt a flash of white light before her eyes.

The next moment, the head of the Shadow Wolf appeared at its feet.
