Chapter 98: Just Between Us

Tang Ningxin shouted, "Try taking my punch!" As she spoke, she pulled back her delicate little fist and then punched out again.

With a loud "Bang!" the rough-faced blood-robed warrior was actually sent flying by the punch.

Tang Ningxin retracted her fist, made a gesture to settle her qi, and turned to Chu Jianqiu with a bright smile, "How about it, Chu Jianqiu? With me as your daughter-in-law, don't you feel a lot more at ease?"

Chu Jianqiu felt a headache coming on. He reached out and tapped Tang Ningxin's little head, saying, "You're not allowed to call yourself my daughter-in-law anymore, or there will be no more Qi Gathering Pills for you!"

Tang Ningxin waved her fair little hand, completely unconcerned, "Alright, alright. Since you don't like it, I won't call myself that anymore. But as long as we know it between us, it's fine!"

Chu Jianqiu gritted his teeth, feeling even more of a headache. Why can't this little girl understand?

Xue Liyan and Ma Jingyao, upon hearing Chu Jianqiu's voice, were instantly shaken. When they turned to look at Chu Jianqiu, their eyes were filled with joy.

They were the first to do business with Chu Jianqiu and had survived in the Eastern Wasteland Secret Realm thanks to Chu Jianqiu's talismans. They had also gained significant opportunities, so how could they not recognize Chu Jianqiu's voice?

However, after hearing Tang Ningxin's words, Xue Liyan and Ma Jingyao were filled with shock. How could Tian Shui be so beastly, even targeting such a young child?

The rough-faced blood-robed warrior's face turned dark. These two were completely ignoring him. Was it appropriate to be so affectionate in the middle of a battle?

The rough-faced blood-robed warrior's figure flashed, and he pounced again. This time, his target was not Tang Ningxin but Chu Jianqiu. Tang Ningxin's strength was too great, and he had no confidence in defeating her.

Chu Jianqiu was merely a Fourth Level True Qi Realm waste. As long as he made a move, capturing him would be as easy as pie. He would deal with this pretty boy first to vent his anger.

However, before he could get close to Chu Jianqiu, a red figure blocked Chu Jianqiu's front, and a delicate little fist came crashing down on him.

The rough-faced blood-robed warrior was once again sent flying. Tang Ningxin rubbed her little fist, her face cold, and said, "Dare to touch my man, you're asking for death!" She then blurred and punched the rough-faced blood-robed warrior again.

Hearing Tang Ningxin's words, Chu Jianqiu put his hand to his forehead, feeling utterly powerless. This was getting worse and worse. If this news spreads, he won't be able to show his face anymore.

Zuo Qiu Lianzhu crossed her arms and sneered, "Little Junior Brother, not bad. You came into the secret realm and picked up a little daughter-in-law."

Chu Jianqiu couldn't help but sigh, "Senior Sister Zuo Qiu, why are you joining in the fun? You know her personality, don't take it seriously!"

Actually, Zuo Qiu Lianzhu was a year or two younger than him, but because she had entered the sect earlier and insisted on making him call her Senior Sister, Chu Jianqiu had no choice.

Chu Jianqiu realized that the reason Zuo Qiu Lianzhu always argued with Tang Ningxin was that their personalities were somewhat similar. However, Zuo Qiu Lianzhu was a bit more normal compared to Tang Ningxin.

Zuo Qiu Lianzhu huffed twice, no longer verbally mocking, but clearly still very unhappy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The blood-robed figure and the small red figure clashed fiercely, shaking the mountains and forests, and sending dust flying.

"Boom!"

Another loud noise, and the two figures suddenly separated. The rough-faced blood-robed warrior's face was bruised, his clothes tattered, and he looked utterly disheveled.

Tang Ningxin's red robe was slightly disheveled, but she was not injured. Clearly, in the previous exchange, she had the upper hand.

Tang Ningxin rubbed her delicate little fist, huffed twice, and looked very pleased.

She had just consumed a large number of Qi Gathering Pills and needed a battle to digest the massive amount of medicinal power. Now, her true qi was at its peak, and a large amount of medicinal power was still being converted into a continuous flow of true qi. How could the rough-faced blood-robed warrior be her match?

The rough-faced blood-robed warrior's face was dark, and he was extremely angry. If it were a matter of combat strength, he was not weaker than Tang Ningxin. However, this little girl was strange, her true qi seemed to never run out. He had only been hit a few times because his true qi was running low after the prolonged battle.

The rough-faced blood-robed warrior felt an unprecedented humiliation. Losing to a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was something he could not tolerate.

"Attack together, kill them all!" The rough-faced blood-robed warrior roared in anger. He didn't believe that everyone else was as strong as this red-clothed little girl.

With their strength and numbers, they should be able to crush these Xuanjian Sect warriors according to past experience.

Following the rough-faced blood-robed warrior's order, the blood-robed warriors surged forward, and both sides engaged in a fierce battle.

However, the result was not as one-sided as the rough-faced blood-robed warrior had expected. The battle became a stalemate, and as the fight continued, the Blood Saber Sect side actually fell into a disadvantage. Several blood-robed warriors were killed by Xuanjian Sect disciples.

The rough-faced blood-robed warrior was greatly surprised. What kind of people had they encountered today? This was not like the combat strength of the Xuanjian Sect disciples they had faced before.

He didn't know that even the weakest disciple among this group was one of the top hundred inner disciples of the Xuanjian Sect.

These were almost the top elites among the Xuanjian Sect's inner disciples. Although the blood-robed warriors were not weak, they were still somewhat inferior to these top elites of the Xuanjian Sect.

After half an hour, the blood-robed warriors of the Blood Saber Sect were in a state of collapse, with more than half of them injured or killed by the Xuanjian Sect's attacks.

The rough-faced blood-robed warrior's face was extremely grim. Although he was unwilling, he had to order a retreat. If they continued to fight, they would all likely die here today.

Seeing the blood-robed warriors retreating, the Xuanjian Sect disciples did not pursue them. Although they had eliminated more than half of the blood-robed warriors, they had also paid a significant price.

Apart from a few disciples who were killed by the blood-robed warriors, more than half of the remaining were seriously injured. They had not fully recovered from the previous battle at Xuanlong Mountain, and this battle had been particularly tough. If they pursued recklessly, they would likely pay an even greater price.
