My uncle was still locked in a bloody battle with that demonic Taoist, unable to disengage.
As for Aunt Yunxia, she had been guarding us from a distance behind, unable to fend off a horde of corpse monsters.
She couldn't get here in time.
I suppressed the dizziness, my sword strikes missing their targets several times, my footing unsteady.
My chest and back had been scratched by the lurking fiends multiple times, bleeding profusely.
Yet, I still protected Old Mo and Qiu Xi in front of me, not taking a single step back...
Although Old Mo and Qiu Xi were unable to move or speak, they could see everything unfolding before them.
Seeing my condition, how I could barely stand, still fiercely defending them with unwavering resolve.
Their eyes flickered with complex, indescribable emotions, their bodies trembling.
Old Mo, through sheer willpower, managed to force two words from his lips:
"Lao... Qin..."
His voice was deep, slurred, and laden with complex emotion.
I looked up at Old Mo.
I saw his eyes widened, his face twitching, his body shaking.
Beside him, Xia Qiu Xi, though unable to speak, had a similar expression, her eyes filled with complexity, her body trembling.
Trying desperately to break free from the control of the Yin-Yang Soul-Binding Banner.
I understood their thoughts. They must have been moved by my continuous injuries while protecting them.
I endured the spinning dizziness and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, this life of mine has lasted twenty years.
Now, I can handle it..."
"Ah!"
With a roar, I tightened my grip on my long sword and swung at the three approaching fiends again.
"Swish swish..."
This time, I missed again.
These three fiends managed to claw my left arm and right shoulder.
Ignoring my wounds, I turned and continued to swing.
Because the world was spinning, I couldn't accurately judge the trajectory of these fiends.
I could only rely on my combat experience and anticipation to prepare my attacks in advance.
Through sheer prediction, I managed to kill another ghost slave.
And I myself had sustained severe injuries.
I felt like I could collapse at any moment...
At this moment, I swung my sword and missed again.
Two fiends seized the opportunity, raising their ghastly claws to strike at my face and chest.
A hit from these would be fatal.
Old Mo and Qiu Xi saw this, their eyes wide, their bodies trembling even more violently.
They were utterly incapable of doing anything.
"Xiao Qin!"
Uncle exclaimed in alarm, unable to come to my aid.
Qing Dai had already charged into the fray, locked in a fierce struggle with that tall demonic woman.
Although still holding the upper hand, she was too far away to see my situation.
I looked at the two fiends.
I cursed inwardly, "Damn it."
But I could do nothing, only watch as their sharp claws descended.
However, just as these two claws were about to strike me.
A gust of demonic wind swept in.
"Whoosh whoosh" it blew.
A figure suddenly descended from the sky.
The next second, with a "buzz," a shockwave of demonic wind rippled.
Those two fiends attacking me were instantly reduced to dust in the demonic wind.
I squinted, still feeling dizzy.
But I saw that the one who arrived was Grandma Fox San.
"Gra... Grandma..."
I exclaimed in surprise.
I hadn't expected Grandma to charge from the southern battlefield at this moment to save my life.
Fox San Tai Nai smiled, her aged voice saying;
"Hehehe, with Grandma here, you won't die!"
As soon as Fox San Tai Nai finished speaking, she waved her hand.
With gusts of demonic wind, Old Mo and Qiu Xi, who were frozen, were instantly unfrozen.
And nearby, another white fox emerged.
The fox reached us and transformed, becoming Xiao Mei.
"Qin Ze, you're badly injured!"
Xiao Mei supported me.
Ignoring my injuries, I quickly cupped my hands to Fox San Tai Nai:
"Qin Ze, thanks to Grandma for saving my life."
Fox San Tai Nai smiled and tapped my forehead.
I saw a green light enter my forehead.
Instantly, my body turned ice-cold.
That feeling of heatstroke and dizziness just vanished.
"Can you still hold on?"
Fox San Tai Nai asked.
I felt much more comfortable. As long as I wasn't dizzy, the superficial wounds on my body, the bleeding, meant nothing:
"Yes!"
I nodded.
Fox San Tai Nai gave a faint smile:
"Very well, follow Grandma and let's fight."
After speaking, Old Mo and Qiu Xi also ran over.
"Lao Qin!"
"Qin Ze!"
Seeing me covered in injuries, they were very worried.
I waved my hand:
"Don't say anything else. Grandma Hu San is here, just follow her and fight."
Fox San Tai Nai wasted no more words, only replying:
"Keep up!"
With that, she shot out like an arrow.
Wielding her dragon-head staff, she struck any ghost she saw.
Not only was her speed astonishing, but her killing power was terrifying, her target directly aimed at the demonic Taoist holding the Yin-Yang Soul Banner.
The demonic Taoist was greatly alarmed and raised his soul banner to attack Fox San Tai Nai.
Waves of energy from the soul banner attempted to control Fox San Tai Nai.
However, his meager abilities were truly insufficient against a great demon like Fox San Tai Nai.
Fox San Tai Nai didn't even blink, her mind directly immune to the soul banner.
Before the other guy could react, she swung her dragon-head staff down.
With a "boom" of explosion.
The demonic Taoist, who possessed the True Light realm, didn't even utter a sound.
His entire body exploded into a mist of blood, not even a speck of bone left.
The surrounding dozen fiends were all sent flying.
Seven or eight were annihilated on the spot, and one or two zombies were shattered and died from the impact.
Terrifying demonic power covered the area.
Its deterrent effect was no less than Qing Dai's, immensely powerful...
