Beauty and the Bodyguard

"You know nothing!" Duanmu Yu was completely enraged. If it wasn't for the fact that he was only at the Golden core stage, and that she was carrying a weak Lin Yi, she would've slapped him already.

"Alright, then I'll just pretend that I don't understand. But I really don't understand, are you, this tomboy, too hungry and thirsty? you actually squeezed the Grand uncle-master of the North Island's Qingyun school to this extent, are you going to die from exhaustion? As the saying goes, even if you die under a peony flower, you'll still be a romantic ghost. Although you're not a peony flower, you're still pretty. It's a blessing to die on a woman's belly, I can't envy you!" Xue Jianfeng's words were full of sarcasm, completely forgetting that Lin Yi had just saved his life a few days ago. His true nature was revealed.

"You!" Duanmu Yu was furious, but Lin Yi interrupted him. He looked at Xue Jianfeng and said,"What are you doing here?"

"Hehe, of course it's for the spirit sense grass!" Xue Jianfeng laughed as he stared at the spirit sense grass that had been slightly submerged by the river.

"You know about spirit sense grass?" Duanmu Yu was startled.

"Of course I know. Why else do you think I spent so much effort to come here? if I can't find the spiritual grass, this once-in-a-thousand-years ancient trial is nothing!" Xue Jianfeng said with a proud expression. Although there were very few people in the ancient martial world who knew about the spiritual awareness grass, his father was the Vice sect leader of snow sword sect after all. He was also one of the big shots on the surface, so it was not strange for him to know some secrets.

"So you've been hiding on the shore and watching from the start?" Lin Yi said suddenly.

"That's right. You're all so fierce. How could I dare to come up here?" Xue Jianfeng chuckled.

He didn't know that Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu were here at first, nor did he know that the two found the consciousness grass. He was purely attracted by the brain-eating insect in the sky, and he saw the whole confrontation between Lin Yi and the brain-eating insect.

To be honest, Xue Jianfeng was really shocked by the two's strength. He was glad that he didn't show up. Otherwise, even if he was a peak Jindan, he would be one-sided against Lin Yi, whether it was the brain-eating insect or the Dragon.

Fortunately, he was wise enough to choose to sit on the mountain and watch the Tigers fight. Moreover, the heavens were also taking care of him. He actually managed to create a situation where both sides suffered losses, and he just happened to benefit from it!

Right now, the brain-eating insect was already half dead, and Lin Yi looked like he was about to die. As for the remaining Duanmu Yu, Xue Jianfeng didn't even put him in his eyes. He was a peak Jindan stage master, and it was fine to be afraid of a freak like Lin Yi, but couldn't he even handle a mere Duanmu Yu?

"So, the spirit sense grass is now in your possession." Lin Yi's tone didn't have a hint of emotion, not even a hint of heartache or regret. He was just stating an objective fact.

Duanmu Yu didn't want to give up, but what Lin Yi said was right. Xue Jianfeng had gotten a great deal this time, and he was really going to miss out on the spirit grass.

Now that things had come to this, he had to lower his head.

"Thank you, thank you." Xue Jianfeng cupped his hands in return, not at all sincere. Seeing that the two didn't stop him, he laughed proudly and walked towards the spirit grass. With this thing, he could become the strongest golden core stage master. At that time, even Lin Yi and the brain-eating insect could only tremble under his feet. Just thinking about it was a beautiful scene!

Unexpectedly, just as he bent down to pick the spiritual grass, the brain-eating insect, which was no different from a Loach, actually came out of the mud and attacked menacingly.

"Oh? Could it be that this guy is the spirit beast Guardian of the Spirit sense grass?" Xue Jianfeng couldn't help but be surprised. Normally, a spirit beast would have run away long ago after being injured like this. Even if it stayed, it would at most be able to ambush strong bows like Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu. He was a peak Jindan stage expert, where did this spirit beast get such courage from?

Although he was surprised, Xue Jianfeng's reaction was not slow at all. From the beginning to the end, he did not take it lightly. He had noticed the brain-eating insect's movement at the first moment, and before the other party hit him, he had already launched his attack. One sword fell to the nine Heavens!

Pfft! Blood splattered everywhere, and the already injured brain-eating insect was once again injured. If it was in its peak condition, one sword from the nine Heavens might not be able to break through its defense, but it was no better than Lin Yi right now. Half of its body was cut off by Xue Jianfeng, and it fell into the mud without any movement.

"Hehe, you're so weak, yet you still dare to come out and court death. A beast is a beast, you're brainless!" Xue Jianfeng was very satisfied with his battle results. He turned around and saw that Duanmu Yu was already carrying Lin Yi back to the shore. He felt a little regretful that no one was here to appreciate his magnificent scene.

He looked at the spirit sense grass that was submerged in the water. At this time, the water was already waist deep. If he didn't pick it now, it would be troublesome. Xue Jianfeng quickly went up and cut it off from the roots, then picked up the spirit sense grass.

However, in the process of bending over to pick up the spirit sense grass, his entire body was inevitably immersed in the water. This was a big deal. Xue Jianfeng's expression changed greatly, and he rushed out of the water with all his might. He didn't hesitate to use [traceless in the snow] and fled to the shore with all his might.

Traceless snow step was not only a movement martial skill that could double one's speed, but it also had the miraculous effect of a Dragonfly skimming the water's surface. Every step he took would cause ice and snow to float, so he would not sink into the water.

"What's the situation?" Duanmu Yu was shocked, but before she could react, Xue Jianfeng, who was behind her and Lin Yi, was already in front of them.

"Quickly run!" Lin Yi quickly urged. The most shocking thing right now wasn't the snow sword's reaction, but the state of the entire river of consciousness. The tide rose and fell at the same speed two days ago, and there was nothing special about it, but now, the tide rose and fell like the Yellow River bursting its dam, and it was unstoppable!

Once they were hit by the huge waves, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The situation was critical. Duanmu Yu immediately increased his speed to the maximum. The monstrous waves came at an extremely fast speed. Fortunately, the two of them were not far from the shore. As long as they could escape to the shore in time, they should be able to escape this calamity.

Duanmu Yu didn't drop the ball at the critical moment. Lin Yi was on her back, but she still managed to reach the shore at the last moment. The giant wave was only one step away from them.
