Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

Zhu Rusong's arm flashed like a golden snake, and in everyone's eyes, Shen You was already a dead man.

"Shen boy!"

Aunt Dou cried out in alarm and was about to intervene.

But as soon as she made a move, she heard a strong gust of wind beside her ear.

sieve--!

A knife, carrying a chilling killing intent, slashed past her side, heading straight for Zhu Rusong's golden snake hand!

The black butcher knife was wreathed in snake-like energy, its surface a deep crimson like blood.

The knife carries the intent to kill a tiger, but it is not used to kill the tiger. Rather, it is like a venomous snake lurking in the grass, quietly swimming to the tiger's side, suddenly thrusting out its fangs, and stabbing fiercely at the tiger.

Even a venomous snake dares to devour a tiger.

It was this wildly imaginative killing intent that brought the bloodthirsty battles between ferocious beasts to their extreme.

The knife wound left a blood-red light in the air, a light like a winding red snake, deeply imprinted in Aunt Dou's eyes.

Although Aunt Dou did not know martial arts, she still found the swift, air-piercing strike absolutely stunning.

"Red Slash!"

The name naturally came to mind in Shen You's heart.

With a single swing of his blade, he combined his knife-wielding experience as a "pig-slaughtering successor," his fierce and ruthless "tiger-slaying knife technique," his sinister and unpredictable "golden snake skill," and his invincible killing "knife aura" into a single strike that could be called his life's masterpiece!

He seemed to have poured all his energy and spirit into this one strike!

"It's only a third-rank item!"

He was single-minded, with only Zhu Rusong in front of him in his eyes.

"You want to kill me..."

"You're not qualified!"

The blade, like a crimson serpent, rushed towards the golden snake formed from Zhu Rusong's arm!

One gold and one red, the two snakes twisted strangely in the air, but in the end neither of them could avoid the other, and they still collided head-on like needles against wheat awns!

boom--!

To everyone's eyes, it seemed as if a burst of light was being seen.

A strong wind swept out.

A piercing shriek rang in everyone's ears.

When the surging momentum subsided slightly, everyone saw Zhu Rusong's arm, dyed gold, pressed against Shen You's butcher knife, his fingertips like snake tongues, licking the blade.

At this moment, the gold was still intense, but the crimson was gradually fading away.

It appears that the golden snake is about to devour the red snake.

"not enough!"

Someone shouted:

"Shen You is still no match for Third Senior Brother!"

"No!"

Some people exclaimed:

"That's already amazing!"

"Shen You... can't die anymore!"

"yes……"

Some people had stiff expressions:

"Shen You... really took that hit..."

The crowd was momentarily stunned.

They stared blankly at Shen You.

This arrogant and stubborn young man, who had only recently become a Qingyi and possessed only a first-grade cultivation level, managed to block a full-force attack from his third-grade white-robed senior brother.

This talent seems to be visible to the naked eye, dazzling and brilliant.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the illusory crimson venomous snake.

That wasn't internal energy, nor was it a high-grade demonic form...

That was the condensed power of the blade, which had transformed into the shape of a venomous snake.

Nobody knows how Shen You did it.

Shen You is only at the first rank, yet it seems he has carved out his own path in martial arts.

Bang!

Under the immense pressure of the Golden Snake Hand, the Crimson Serpent finally shattered.

However, the power of the Golden Snake Hand has also been greatly reduced.

The gold on Zhu Rusong's arm had become dull and lifeless, and the phantom of the golden snake had almost disappeared.

Everyone knew that Zhu Rusong could no longer kill Shen You with his "Golden Snake Hand" move.

Seeing this, Shen You finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the immense pressure of being a third-rank official, he finally underwent a transformation in the face of battle and managed to survive...

Shen You's relief wasn't over yet when she suddenly heard Zhu Rusong say softly:

"Get ready! This is my real killer move!"

Shen You's expression changed.

Zhu Rusong's Golden Snake Hand, though weakened, was not actually unleashed. He flipped over, and a blue light flashed at his tailbone, with a phantom image of a poisonous scorpion appearing on it.

He used his body to roll over, kicking out from behind and above with a leg that resembled a scorpion's tail. The angle was tricky, and the force was fierce, as it fiercely attacked Shen You's neck!

He not only possessed the nascent "Golden Snake Force," but also the nascent "Green Scorpion Force"!

Scorpion swishes its tail!

This is his killer move!

Thrust out suddenly when the enemy is off guard!

A single, fatal blow, impossible to defend against!

Shen You had no idea that Zhu Rusong had such a killer move, and was caught off guard, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

How could this be?

Am I really going to die here?

"Shen boy!" Aunt Dou exclaimed in surprise.

"No!" Song, the educated youth, cried out in a trembling voice.

This moment is just like when Shen You exhaled a murderous aura and killed Zhu Xiaobao in one fell swoop.

No one could stop the scorpion's stinger that suddenly flew out.

The cause of that time has yielded the result of this time.

It's like a cycle of fate.

Shen You was about to die here as well.

"You dare—!"

Suddenly, a sharp shriek rang out from Shen You.

It was a shrill female voice, like the howl of a vengeful ghost, reaching everyone's ears.

A hazy, illusory figure suddenly emerged from Shen You's chest, revealing a beautiful woman with her hair tied up in a bun. However, her face was extremely ferocious as she lunged fiercely at Zhu Rusong.

Even Zhu Rusong, known for his calm and collected demeanor, was taken aback at this moment.

The demon lunged at his face, causing the scorpion tail kick he unleashed from behind to tremble slightly, revealing a slight opening.

"Get out of here!"

Just then, Aunt Dou roared and rammed into Zhu Rusong.

Shen You also subconsciously turned her head and fell to the side with all her might.

From the moment Zhu Rusong made his move until now, there has perhaps only been this tiny opening, which Shen You managed to seize by sheer luck.

Zhu Rusong's body was knocked off balance by Aunt Dou, and his toes grazed Shen You's neck.

brush!

A short, bloody scratch was still left on Shen You's neck.

But ultimately it did not cause a fatal injury.

There was no scene of blood splattering.

Shen You collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. She touched her neck and found her hand covered in blood.

He had a brush with death, but ultimately his life was saved.

The hazy, beautiful figure in the air slowly dissipated at that moment.

She actually had little offensive power, only a trace of bewitching magic, but at the crucial moment, she became the key to shaking Zhu Rusong and saving Shen You's life.

"Third Sister..."

Shen You showed a grateful expression.

He thought of the "jade petals" that Third Sister had fed him last night.

He could clearly feel the chilling power that had been protecting his entire body since then, which had finally dissipated completely at that moment.

The power of a single petal became his lifeline.

Of course, it was also because Third Sister was deeply affectionate and willing to protect him.

The wisp of divine thought left in the petal was entirely devoted to him.

Therefore, he sensed his crisis and thus became enraged.

The kindness of a beautiful woman is immeasurable.

Shen You closed her eyes, thinking that she would thank Third Sister later that evening. Whatever Third Sister's wish was, she would definitely fulfill it.

Although he pretended to be Liu Lang and deceived San Niang's feelings, he was also a grateful person. Since San Niang had saved him, he would never forget this debt of gratitude.

At this moment, a series of unexpected events caught everyone off guard. They stared blankly at Shen You, feeling that what had just happened was so breathtaking. The alluring female phantom that flew out from Shen You's body left a deep impression on them, and they couldn't understand what it was at all.

Among the crowd, only Song Zhiqing noticed something amiss, muttering to himself, "There's even a ghost protecting him... Junior Brother Shen You, just who are you...?"

Beside Shen You, Aunt Dou frowned and came over, helping Shen You up. Gritting her teeth, she said fiercely, "Shen boy, don't be so stubborn next time! If something like this happens again, I'll handle it..."

"No!"

Shen You shook her head, her gaze fixed on Zhu Rusong, a cold smile appearing on her face:

"That last move couldn't kill me, and this Zhu Baiyi can't kill me anymore! As expected, I have to bear this kind of killing intent myself; no one can take my place..."

This brush with death made Shen You feel that his energy and spirit had been tempered once again.

His spirit and will have been completely renewed, which will have countless benefits for his future martial arts training.

With this shift in power, Zhu Rusong's confidence was shaken, making it even more difficult for him to kill him again.

It is very likely that, left with no other choice, he will have to admit to his family that he can no longer kill him.

"Senior Brother Zhu!"

Shen You said coldly:

"Are you still going to kill me?"

Shen You didn't hesitate and asked directly.

Zhu Rusong resumed his calm standing posture, his cold gaze falling on Shen You.

"You're really good..."

He said calmly:

"However, it's still a bit difficult for me to spare your life..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

A lively and cheerful voice suddenly came from not far away:

"It's so lively here! Are they having dinner? Am I disturbing you by visiting so early?"

It was a clear, crisp girl's voice, and everyone turned to look.

A clever little maidservant, carrying a large black cloth bundle, followed an apprentice in green robes as they walked along the maple leaf path.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful!"

She stared at everyone, her eyes shining, and praised them with a smile.
