If Hu Bijie was in danger, the whole Wings of Wind would be at a stake. The three people would be the next target.
They were not really those who would give instant help to people in need or suffering from injustices. To a large extent, they did so to save their lives.
Their fight momentum was so impressive that Jiuqi Demon felt threatened and put its focus on the three in front of it.
Hu Bijie felt the pressure got lighter but still felt terrible. With blood spitting out of his mouth, he fell to the ground from the top of the clouds.
"Boss!"
Seeing Hu Bijie was injured, some yelled while others who moved fast had already rushed to catch him and take him to somewhere safe.
Hua Qingyue and Hua Qingshui had perfect cooperation with their tacit understanding developed since they were kids. They attacked the lateral heads of Jiuqi Demon and each got four heads.
But Dugu Muyou had to deal with the largest one in the middle. It was her own choice. She knew her strength didn't allow her to fight with four heads.
However, the head in the middle was the most powerful one, much larger than those in the lateral. The lateral heads could attack people through different lights. Hua Qingshui was going through the joint attacks of fire and nice. For Hua Qingyue, the trickiest part was the head that could summon a hurricane. Every time he tended to launch an attack near it, he would be swept away by a sudden hurricane.
The head in the middle always generated in people a strong sense of horror. The dark light coming out of it seemed to consume Jiuqi Demon's force hard as it needed a long time to condense. It was inevitable that Hua Qingshui and Hua Qingyue would attack fiercely when the head was about to give out dark light. As a result, Jiuqi Demon had to distribute some force to deal with them and lost the opportunity to attack Dugu Muyou.
People of Wings of Wind also noticed their tricks. Seeing Hu Bijie was safe, they all made full use of time to adjust their breath and restore their spiritual qi.
At the moment, the three people could rival Jiuqi Demon. Their help was thus unnecessary and might even become a stumbling block. They'd better restore their spiritual qi and launch a powerful attack against Jiuqi Demon later.
Hu Bijie sat on the ground with legs crossed, but his sight was mostly attracted by Dugu Muyou.
"Early stage of purple rank?" He frowned. It was hard to believe that such a weak person could be here.
There were many who were in the purple rank in Wings of Wind. Since they were a team and their array was powerful, people in purple rank could even rival masters in the middle stage of green rank by working together. Hu Bijie was in the peak stage of green rank. Given more time, he would make a breakthrough and entered the black rank.
Hua Qingshui and Hua Qingyue impressed Hu Bijie who was in his thirty as he had been stuck in the peak stage of green rank for years while had no breakthrough. It was rather hard to believe that the young twin brothers in front of him had reached the early stage of black rank and the peak stage of black rank respectively.
But this got Hu Bijie confused: Since Dugu Muyou was the weakest among them, why was she asked to deal with the head in the middle?
After a long-time observation, Hu Bijie found out why. Two persons on both sides could help to distract the middle head's attention when it was about to attack.
It was definitely the best way for cultivation as it could improve Dugu Muyou's power as well as prevent them from being hurt.
But it couldn't work for long...
Hua Qingshui chopped Jiuqi Demon's firing head off. Seeing it was about to launch attack again, Hua Qingshui flashed to Dugu Muyou and said irritably, "The head in the middle has to be coped with. Otherwise, those in the lateral will be reborn."
He was right. Hua Qingyue and he had chopped those heads off many times but a new head would come out. Though this process cost some time, in the long run, their spiritual qi couldn't stand for long. Once spiritual qi was empty, they would be dead.
Dugu Muyou was surrounded by purple light, out of which stood a golden-silver light which was like a protection cover.
She was trying her best to fight against the head in the middle. Hearing those words, she was anxious.
Without Yuehua Diamond, she felt so much concerned that she couldn't give full play to her strength. But Yuehua Diamond was unable to be activated, which really put her in a dilemma.
"Blood Fox, I am sorry."
Dugu Muyou contacted Blood Fox suddenly.
Compared with evolving into a human being, lives were more important. As long as they could get out of here, Dugu Muyou believed she could find another suitable Magical Essence for Blood Fox to help it evolve into a human.
A smile showed up on Blood Fox's face. It spat out the red Magical Essence without any hesitation and put it forward with its claw, "I have been with you, so I trust you. You won't waste it. It is a pity that I am so weak that I can't fight with you, Muyou."
At first, Dugu Muyou felt quite guilty, but Blood Fox's "Muyou" took her guilt away. Were not for her inborn indifference, which was quite different from Hua Qingyue's enthusiasm, she would have fallen down from the sky.
Receiving the blood-red Magical Essence, Yuehua Diamond began to absorb the energy contained in the Magical Essence as greedily as those who had starved for days.
Dugu Muyou regained her confidence. The feeling she knew long ago came to her again. She could feel her connection with Yuehua Diamond. Freshened, she yelled while rushed towards the largest head in the middle.
Lieyan in her hand was rustling. The whip consisting of spiritual qi was brandished and gave off a crisp and powerful sound.
The largest head of Jiuqi Demon shrank back. Although its movement was not obvious, a maneuver was detected by Dugu Muyou's sharp eyes.
Jiuqi Demon was a spiritual animal. Naturally, it could feel where the danger was from.
It suddenly turned other heads around and opened its mouths towards Dugu Muyou. The largest one in the middle flinched back and yelled angrily.
Dugu Muyou dodged an ice s***h and waved her whip towards the largest head hiding in the back. The air seemed to be smashed by the whip and struck Jiuqi Demon in the head.
Jiuqi Demon roared again. It was a bit louder but was not as formidable as it had been. But people could tell its anger.
The head that could initiate ice blades moved again. This time the size of the blade was as large as a small ice mountain, but the target was Dugu Muyou.
Dugu Muyou had no way to avoid it. Busy attracting the attention of other heads, Hua Qingyue and Hua Qingshui couldn't provide timely assistance.
The iceberg hit Dugu Muyou's chest directly. Her body was beaten to a bow shape immediately and flew backward, falling to the ground harshly.
"Muyou!"
"Miss Dugu!"
Hua Qingyue and Hua Qingshui fought back, planning to rush to help Dugu Muyou who rose up to her feet and cracked her whip fiercely.
With Yuehua Diamond, she wasn't afraid of any injuries as long as they were not lethal. Painful as this attack was, Dugu Muyou wasn't hurt.
She gave the credit to Yuehua Diamond, but she didn't know cool and powerful Nangong Xun was really the one who she should appreciate.
Hu Bijie was healing his wound with legs crossed, but his eyesight never left Dugu Muyou. When she fell down, he had hoped he could seize her. But he could do nothing but watch her falling down because Jiuqi Demon's attack was difficult to heal.
Dugu Muyou rubbed her sore chest manically. She scolded inside and rushed towards Jiuqi Demon again.
Hu Bijie together with his people of Wings of Wind was stunned. After being hit by Jiuqi Demon and such a heavy fall, how could she be unharmed and fight again?
Hu Bijie had suffered losses from Jiuqi Demon. The dark light tortured his viscera and organs and forced him to vomit blood. He had to stop to heal his wound. Dugu Muyou, after a direct attack initiated by Jiuqi Demon's iceberg, was unharmed!
What an unbelievable thing it was!
Hua Qingshui and Hua Qingyue had spent some days with Dugu Muyou and had used to her abnormalities. They felt no strange but somewhat worried.
Dugu Muyou rushed to the front of Jiuqi Demon and retreated back to Hu Bijie.
Hu Bijie felt relieved a bit. That was what an injured person should do. There was no need to rush to the front!
Unexpectedly, Dugu Muyou reached out for the nine-ring machete on his back.
"Lend me your sword for a while. You don't need it for now and I will return it to you later."
Dugu Muyou approached Jiuqi Demon with a nine-ring machete again, "You beast! You won't know who I am until you are beaten to death!"
Hu Bijie nearly fell to the ground. People of Wings of Wind around him all looked at him sympathetically, which made him close his eyes to heal his wound.
Seeing Dugu Muyou was unharmed and even more high-spirited, Hua Qingyue was delighted, yelling, "Beat it! Let's take our turns to behead it!"
Hua Qingshui and Dugu Muyou who knew him well pretended they didn't hear it but moved a bit to stay away from him. As for those of Wings of Wind who didn't know Hua Qingyue, they were stunned to see such vulgar words should come from a delicate man.
Sword in hand, Dugu Muyou made a posture of rouge. She faced Jiuqi Demon straight after a yell.
Hua Qingyue and Hua Qingshui consciously coped with those lateral heads.
Jiuqi Demon had no time to distract. If its focus was put on Dugu Muyou, its largest head would be attacked by two disagreeable guys. But allocate energy to the two would fail to cope with the one in the front.
Jiuqi Demon felt helpless. Having evolved from a common spiritual animal to a holy one, it had never met such a bewildering thing.
Its arrogance didn't allow it to see three tinny humans exulted in front of it. Three heads were conjured up on both sides, two of which were to protect the largest one in the middle. Witnessing Dugu Muyou rushed forwards with a nine-ring machete, it decided to take the s***h with its metal-like head.
What Jiuqi Demon couldn't expect was Dugu Muyou's nine-ring machete was gone, though Dugu Muyou's hands were up. Instead, the whip of spiritual qi showed up and was cracked towards its largest head. The nine-ring machete was tied to the front of the whip and hit the target at one go.
