It was a slender man. Seeing him wield a heavy sword and wear armor, Gu Qing knew that she was not a cultivator, but not a cultivator that could actually survive the mouth of a large-eyed lion. This man was not simple either!

With this thought in mind, Gu Qing immediately concentrated her full attention on the Colossal Eyed Lion in front of him.

Roar …

As if it felt that this puny human in front of it was not easy to deal with, the large-eyed lion did not rashly go forward, but roared at her, and a pungent wind blew, Gu Qing endured the disgusting smell and activated her Misty Rain Sword.

With her increase in strength, the power of her techniques had naturally increased as well. Although the Misty Rain Sword was not as heaven-defying as the Withered Handprint, it was still a pretty good offensive technique.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of mist had filled the air between her and the large-eyed lion. Gu Qing held the Misty Rain Sword and shuttled back and forth in the mist, and at that moment, she was the ruler of this small world. He could not see Gu Qing. As she roared furiously, she charged into the mist.

Gu Qing's eyes flashed with a bright light, as the giant eyed lion clashed wildly with him. Finally, it saw through the other party's weakness, and its body shot out of the mist, piercing straight towards the other party's weakness.

However, Gu Qing's palm did not tremble at all, and continued thrusting towards the soft flesh at the back of its neck.

Clang...

The sword formed from spirit energy was even harder and sharper than normal blades, but right now, it was as if it had hit metal and stone, producing an ear-piercing sound.

Gu Qing's expression was surprised, in the moment of shock, the large-eyed lion opened its mouth and bit at her.

At this moment, the fog was gradually dissipating. The man outside clearly saw this frightening scene. Gu Qing pushed him away as well. Gritting her teeth, she pushed the Misty Rain Sword into his mouth and with the force, she threw it away and quickly retreated.

She did not expect that even after searching for a long time for its weakness, she was still unable to break through the giant eyed lion's defense. She knew that unless she used the Withered Handprint, she would not be able to kill the giant eyed lion today.

But now that she had fled thousands of miles away and a stranger was by her side, how could she dare to let her spirit energy run out so easily and let her guard down?

"Let's go!" After calling out for him to be careful, Gu Qing still managed to warn him.

That person held the heavy sword in his hand and shook his head at her, "I cannot leave, otherwise my master will be in danger!"

Gu Qing frowned, she looked at the bloodstained parts of his armor. She clearly wasn't a match for the Colossal Eyed Lion, but she was also injured, so she did not flinch at all.

Roar …

The large-eyed lion did not give the two of them a chance to make a decision, and immediately pounced towards Gu Qing. Obviously, its earlier actions had angered it.

The Misty Rain Sword used too much spirit energy, and it did not have a good effect on the large-eyed lion. Gu Qing gritted her teeth and took out a Talisman, throwing it towards the large-eyed lion.

The moment the Talisman touched the eyes lion's body, the other party seemed to have been immobilized, and stood motionless with his teeth bared.

Gu Qing exhaled, luckily she had made a lot from selling spiritual wine before, so she bought some for protection. Even though it was too expensive, she didn't buy any high levelled Spiritual Stone since it was a one-time consumable.

Just as Gu Qing was about to think about how to make a move against the large-eyed lion, the lion that was just frozen suddenly swayed and actually continued to rush towards her direction.

Gu Qing's expression changed. She never expected the Talisman to be so darned, and before she could react, the large-eyed lion was already right in front of her.

"Miss, be careful!" The armored man rushed over again, pushing Gu Qing to the side, while raising his sword up to block the behemoth's mouth.

However, other than its mouth, the large-eyed lion also had four sharp claws. Almost at the same instant he blocked the large-eyed lion, the claw reached his chest.

"No!" Gu Qing shouted loudly. She did not expect that the passersby would not hesitate to sacrifice their own lives to save her.

At this moment, her expression froze, and the Withered Handprint in her hand slowly took shape. Under the huge eyed lion's arrogant and vicious eyes, a small gray palm print landed on its face.

The large-eyed lion instantly revealed an extremely human-like expression of pain, and its vicious eyes instantly dimmed.

The spirit energy in Gu Qing's body was sucked out, but she was not able to recover in time. She turned around and looked at the armored man who had collapsed to the ground.

Gu Qing took a step forward, crouched down beside him, reached out to cover the wound on his arm, lowered her eyes and asked: "How are you? Are there any other injuries? "

The armored man seemed to have recovered some of his energy, his first reaction was to raise his head to look at the Colossal Eyed Lion, but he didn't expect that such a powerful Demonic Beast would fall to the ground without a sound. A flame ignited in his eyes as he reached out his uninjured arm to grab Gu Qing and said anxiously: "Miss, I'm fine, I'm begging you to save my master."

"Your master? Just take care of yourself first. " At this time, Gu Qing basically could not save anyone else, because the spirit energy in her own body had already dried up.

"I'm really fine. My master is currently in danger. I think only you can save him." The man looked at her with a burning gaze.

"Open your mouth!" Gu Qing still had many healing pellets on her body that had miraculous effects for mortals. She directly stuffed one into his mouth, and then used a bit of spirit energy that she had just recovered to help him quickly refine the pellets.

In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, not only did his arm which was bleeding profusely not bleed out, it was also slowly healing.

The armored man opened his eyes wide, as if he understood something, and then looked at her with a face full of worship, "You are Immortal Master?"

Gu Qing didn't deny it, but said: "I don't have the ability to help your master right now, and I need to recover. I'll have to trouble you to help me guard it for a while."

Right now, the spiritual energy in her body was no different from that of a mortal's. It was truly not safe.

The armored man seemed to want to say more, but seeing Gu Qing's pale face, he closed his lips and stood quietly at the side.

With the help of the spiritual liquid, Gu Qing quickly recovered her cultivation, and turned to look at the armored man who had been protecting her the whole time, and said: "Let's go, let's go see your master, but let us first state that, within my ability, I will save him."

If it wasn't for the fact that this person had risked his life to save her, she would have already left.

The man was extremely happy and immediately nodded: "Alright, Immortal Master will follow me."

Gu Qing caught up and said while walking: "There's no need to call me Immortal Master, just call me Lady Qing." She changed her name to something else.

"Okay, Lady Qing. My master is in the valley ahead, but there is a Level 4 Demonic Beast there. I rushed out there to seek help."

"What?" Level four Demonic Beast? " Gu Qing's face changed, she instantly felt that she agreed to the wrong person.

"En, yes, Miss Qing is so powerful, to be able to kill a third level Demonic Beast with a single palm, she must be able to deal with a fourth level Demonic Beast as well." As the armored man spoke, he looked at her with a golden glint in his eyes. There was admiration written all over his face.

Gu Qing immediately stopped, and said, "I'm sorry, I can barely deal with the third stage of the Demonic Beast, but if it's a fourth stage Demonic Beast, I'll just be sending myself to my death!" With that, Gu Qing turned and walked in another direction. Although her Withered Handprint was powerful, she could only use it once. She had fought against Level 3 Demonic Beast before, but even Level 3 Demonic Beast were so powerful.

If her palm strike missed or wouldn't kill her opponent, wouldn't that mean she'd lost her life for nothing?

"Hey, Lady Qing, don't go!" The armored man immediately chased after her with an anxious look on his face. Right now, the only person who could save his master was the woman in front of him.

"Just now, thank you for risking your life to save me, but I've already said that I cannot save your master." Gu Qing said calmly.

The armored man hastily waved his hand, "Miss, you can definitely save her. You're so powerful. "Also, don't worry. My master has a life-saving treasure. If you really can't handle it, you can hide inside it and rest."

Gu Qing still did not nod his head in agreement. The armored man was extremely anxious, she scratched his head and thought of a way, then said anxiously: "Miss Qing, actually, my master is a Third Prince of the Stellar Kingdom, he is extremely favored by the Emperor. If you can save him, the Third Prince will provide you with all your cultivation resources in the future."

Gu Qing's footsteps stopped, she had no choice but to say that those words were aimed straight at the vital parts of her body. She left the Huaqing Palace, and after the last investigation, she no longer dared to lightly sell the spiritual wine. Without the support of Huaqing Palace, and without a fixed income, where did the Talisman, treasures and other things that she needed for cultivation come from?

Seeing her hesitate, the armored man knew something was up, and immediately added: "Don't worry Miss Qing, our Stellar Kingdom has a few pieces of the Spiritual Stone vein. Although it is divided by the various big sects, it belongs to our Stellar Kingdom, so there won't be a problem supporting Miss Qing in cultivation when the time comes."

With such a huge enticement, Gu Qing was still moved. She had to obtain a lot of cultivation resources in order to keep improving, otherwise, if she was stepped on to the lowest level, she would be killed sooner or later.

"Good!" "I agree, but I can only try my best!" Gu Qing nodded and decided to give it a shot.

The armored man was extremely excited. He immediately nodded and said, "Lady Qing, please come with me. My master is in the valley ahead."

This place is already thousands of kilometers away from the Huaqing Palace, so Gu Qing was no longer worried about being discovered at all. She took out the Flying-artifact and said to the armored man: "Quickly come up, show me where the person who is your Patriarch is."

The armored man carefully stood on the Flying Silk and pointed towards a small valley a few miles away. Gu Qing then controlled the Flying Silk to fly towards the armored man while he screamed.

Before she even got close, Gu Qing could smell a strong smell of blood.

"Lady Qing, there, there!" The armored man pointed to the valley below, which was filled with corpses, and said to Gu Qing.
