"Pop!"

The sound of the shield of spiritual energy being pierced rang out, followed by the sound of glass shattering.

Under Mu Kui's all-out attack, the shield of spiritual energy shattered like tofu and only lasted for the time of a single breath.

However, these spiritual energy light shields had weakened Mu Kui's attack considerably, and his strength was not one out of ten.

Although she was still very powerful, to Ling'er, her life was no longer in danger.

Puff.

Ling'er spat out a mouthful of blood. Her delicate body was sent flying backwards. Her little face was deathly pale, appearing very sad and beautiful.

As she flew backwards, another sense of danger enveloped her. Ling'er's expression changed slightly as she tilted her head backwards. The bamboo hat fell off, revealing her exquisite face.

Once the light of the blade grazed her face, the sharp blade would stab her face, causing her hair to fall.

Just a little bit more and it would have been ruined!

"What Aunt Qing said is right. We must not underestimate our enemy at any time, otherwise we might fail!" This thought flashed through Ling'er's mind.

"She's actually a beauty!" A sinister voice sounded from not too far away.

Ling'er turned her head to look and saw Mu Kui standing there, leaning on his sabre with a face so pale that it didn't have the slightest hint of blood in it. He was staring at her with eyes full of unconcealed greed and amazement.

At some point, a layer of soft black armour had appeared on his body. The armour itself was covered in fine scales that flickered with a black luster.

"It's actually a Grade Four Spirit Tool Flexible Armor!" Ling'er wiped off the blood at the corner of her lips as she spoke while gritting her teeth. Then, she suddenly understood. No wonder he didn't die on her blade. She actually had a spirit artifact soft armor protecting him.

Once a spiritual tool reached Rank 4, it would be able to be absorbed into the Qi Sea and nurtured with its own spirit energy at all times, allowing it to be summoned at any time.

"Little beauty, you can stay here and wait upon me!" Mu Kui said darkly. Anger appeared on his face, and he started sweating profusely. He tilted his head to look at his severed arm, and his eyes immediately turned blood-red.

"Uncle will cripple your cultivation, turn you into a slut who can marry anyone, and let all of my brothers take turns together!" Mu Kui's face contorted. The pain of losing his arm had already caused him to completely lose his rationality, and he could only think of revenge in his heart.

"You're courting death!" Ling'er's delicate face turned ice-cold. A chilling killing intent burst out from her delicate body. The temperature in this space dropped drastically. Even the fire energy around her seemed to have turned ice-cold.

She was thoroughly angry. She had been careless. Not only had she almost lost, she had even been insulted by such unbearable words. Her anger had completely exploded at this moment.

Although she was slightly injured, it didn't have much of an impact on her strength.

On the other hand, Mu Kui was different. One of his arms had been severed from its roots. No, it had been broken with a kick. His internal organs had been beaten out of place, and he had almost no strength left.

Normally, he wouldn't be standing here right now. She wouldn't even have chosen to ambush Ling'er when she was distracted.

Instead, he chose to quickly leave the room, letting his subordinates in and surrounding Ling'er.

However, losing an arm caused him to completely lose all reason. He only thought about how to take revenge and torture Ling'er.

It was too late now that he had regained his senses.

Looking at the murderous Ling'er, Mu Kui's heart was filled with endless regret. His body trembled slightly as he roared in a low voice, "Bitch, what are you trying to do? I'm the commander of the Demon Hunting Mercenaries, a member of the Marquis of Zishan's household."

"It's already a huge sin for you to do this to me. As long as you stay with me for one night, I won't pursue this matter anymore. How about it?"
