Xuan Yin looked at the Empyrean Fairy from afar. "Empyrean Fairy, you've teamed up with Tang Zheng to deal with me and imprisoned me for so long. Now I'm finally going to regain my freedom."
The Empyrean Fairy snorted. "Stop dreaming. Do you think I'll release a tiger back into the mountains and let you do as you wish?"
Xuan Yin glanced at Tang Zheng. "So what if you don't agree? He'll agree."
The Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden turned her head to look at Tang Zheng and saw that his eyes were red as if he wanted to eat someone. Her heart trembled as she said: "He might care about Fang Shishi, but I might not."
She said this to confuse Xuan Yin.
Xuan Yin didn't fall for it. "Haha, then see if Tang Zheng will agree. I'm sure he'll become my best bodyguard if you make a move."
The Empyrean Fairy sighed inwardly. She had to admit that Xuan Yin had grasped Tang Zheng's weakness.
Otherwise, she would become Tang Zheng's enemy.
For a woman, Tang Zheng would be willing to make an enemy out of anyone. He was the type who preferred beauty over power.
The Empyrean Fairy knew this and felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Tang Zheng's face was gloomy. "I've already released you from Sumeru World. You should let Shishi go now. “
"Of course I'll let her go, but not now. You two experts are attacking me. If I let her go, I'll lose my bargaining chip. How can I guarantee that I won't be imprisoned again?" Xuan Yin spoke without stopping. She was well aware of her situation.
Tang Zheng flew into a rage. "You're going back on your word!"
"When did I go back on my word? I only said I'll let her go, I didn't say when. "Xuan Yin shrugged. She wasn't afraid of Tang Zheng's anger at all.
Tang Tang Zheng gritted his teeth. He was filled with anger but had nowhere to vent it. "Then what do you want me to do to release Shishi?"
"I will take her away. Once I ensure my own safety, I will naturally let her go!"
"No!" Tang Zheng, without hesitation, rejected the idea.
Xuan Yin was a vicious and merciless person and didn't have much credibility. If she really captured Fang Shishi, it was uncertain whether she would let her go. Moreover, he couldn't control what harm Fang Shishi would suffer.
Therefore, he would never allow Fang Shishi to leave his sight.
"I'm not negotiating with you," Xuan Yin retorted. "You don't have a choice."
Xuanyin's toughness was unexpected.
Tang Zheng was in a dilemma. If he attacked, Fang Shishi might be injured. If he let the enemy leave, Fang Shishi might have a chance to survive, but he couldn't guarantee it.
Tang Zheng wasn't a stupid person. He immediately made a decision.
Xuan Yin was smug. She thought that she had grasped Tang Zheng's Achilles' heel. This time, she was bound to succeed.
Tang Zheng glanced at Fang Shishi. Their eyes met and an invisible message was transmitted to each other. The Empyrean Fairy and Tang Zheng already had a tacit understanding. A simple glance was enough to convey enough information.
"Do it!"
Tang Zheng roared and launched a thunderous attack. The Empyrean Fairy attacked at the same time.
The two rose and rushed toward Xuan Yin like a gust of wind.
Xuan Yin's eyes widened. She looked at the scene in disbelief. She thought that victory was in her hands. She didn't expect that Tang Zheng would act rashly without caring about Fang Shishi's safety.
Xuan Yin thought that she knew Tang Zheng well, but in fact, she didn't. She only knew a little.
Fang Shishi was indeed Tang Zheng's Achilles' heel. It was precisely because of this that Tang Zheng couldn't watch her be taken away.
If she was taken away, he would lose control completely. He couldn't accept losing control.
Therefore, he would rather take action and fight for that glimmer of hope with a thunderous attack than give the initiative to Xuan Yin.
Empyrean Fairy also knew this. So when she saw Tang Zheng's eyes, she knew what he was thinking.
The two suddenly attacked. Xuan Yin didn't expect this and hurriedly retreated. Fang Shishi staggered backward.
Bang!
A cold light flew out and accurately hit Xuan Yin's shoulder. Blood splattered and her shoulder immediately collapsed.
Xuan Yin let out a muffled groan as her face turned deathly pale. However, she still endured the pain and did not let go.
She knew that once she let go, her life would come to an end.
Her eyes turned cold and murderous. She stared at Tang Zheng who had rushed in front of her. Tang Zheng's eyes turned red. He was extremely angry.
Whoosh!
A cold light appeared again and attacked her head.
Xuan Yin didn't have time to think. She moved her wrist and Fang Shishi met the cold light head-on. In this life and death situation, she directly used Fang Shishi as a human shield.
Fang Shishi was helpless. She could only watch as the attack reached her.
Tang Zheng felt a chill and suddenly withdrew his attack. At this time, a cold light pierced through Fang Shishi's ribs and shot towards Tang Zheng's chest.
Bang!
The Sacred Armor Shield flashed and blocked the attack. But Tang Zheng couldn't help but quickly retreat and put some distance between him and Xuan Yin.
This attack injured Xuan Yin and forced Tang Zheng to retreat. He still couldn't take back Fang Shishi from Xuan Yin. It was a failure.
Empyrean Fairy's attack was like a shadow, attacking Xuan Yin's side from the other side. Xuan Yin was struggling. She had just forced Tang Zheng to retreat and now she had to deal with Empyrean Fairy.
Empyrean Fairy's attack was more powerful than Tang Zheng's. Xuan Yin tried to use Fang Shishi as a human shield again.
But the light seemed to have eyes. It changed directions and avoided Fang Shishi, hitting Xuan Yin's leg.
Puff!
Blood splattered. Xuan Yin's left leg was covered in blood. The blood flowed into the sea and turned it red.
Xuan Yin's forehead was covered in sweat. Her heart was filled with sorrow. Wasn't she confident in her victory? How did it become like this?
This guy didn't play by the rules at all, disrupting all of her plans.
Empyrean Fairy couldn't help but feel sad when she saw that she couldn't kill Xuan Yin in one hit. If she couldn't succeed in one hit, it would be a failure.
Xuan Yin couldn't care less about the pain. She hurriedly retreated. Her body was dyed red with blood.
She also knew that if she could resist the opponent's sudden attack, she would win.
She had indeed won.
Tang Zheng tried to launch a second round of attacks, but Xuan Yin was already holding a gleaming sword. She placed it on Fang Shishi's neck. Even a god wouldn't be able to save her if she made a light cut.
"Don't move!" Xuan Yin roared fiercely. "Tang Zheng, you've really exceeded my expectations. You actually dared to attack without caring about her safety. I'll let you know the price of your actions."
As soon as she finished speaking, a line of blood appeared on Fang Shishi's fair neck. A trace of blood flowed down her porcelain-like neck.
"Stop!" Tang Zheng turned pale with fright. He stretched out his hand and shouted.
Xuan Yin stopped. She was only trying to intimidate Tang Zheng. She wouldn't really kill Fang Shishi.
Fang Shishi was injured, but she didn't bat an eyelid. Instead, she shouted, "Xuan Yin, kill me if you can."
Xuan Yin laughed sinisterly. "Hmph, I won't kill you. You're my bargaining chip."
She paused for a moment, then said to Tang Zheng, "Now you know my determination. If you dare to pressure her again, she'll definitely die."
"Fine, I won't make a move." Tang Zheng gritted his teeth and fiercely stared at the Ninth Heaven Mystical Maiden as he helplessly said.
"Shishi, don't worry. I'll definitely save you. Even if I have to chase her to the ends of the earth, I'll save you. If she really dares to kill you, I'll make her beg for death. "Tang Zheng threatened.
"I don't doubt your determination." Xuan Yin said. "I just want to escape. I don't want to kill anyone. Don't force me and we'll be fine. I'm leaving now. Don't chase after me. Otherwise, you'll be deliberately forcing her to her death. "
Faced with this overbearing condition, Tang Zheng had no choice but to accept.
Empyrean Fairy sighed inwardly. There was nothing she could do.
Xuan Yin seemed to have seen the hope of victory. She retreated step by step. Because she was injured, her feet were submerged in the sea. From this, it was clear that she had used up a lot of energy.
If she lost the hostage, she wouldn't be a match for Tang Zheng and the others.
Yan Qingyi watched all this quietly like a bystander. She didn't move at all. Even her eyes didn't move.
Xuan Yin was afraid that Tang Zheng would make things difficult for her again so she didn't dare to turn around and leave. Instead, she retreated step by step, hoping to put as much distance between them as possible before turning around to escape.
She retreated in the direction of Yan Qingyi.
Yan Qingyi stood quietly on the surface of the sea. It was as if she had become one with the sea, not making a sound.
Xuan Yin sensed that there was someone behind her. She had also seen Yan Qingyi earlier. Although she was floating on the surface of the sea, she subconsciously thought that it was Tang Zheng's magic.
Most importantly, Yan Qingyi did not have any Inner Strength or True Qi fluctuations. She was no different from a normal person. Therefore, Xuan Yin treated her as a normal person and did not take her seriously.
In her eyes, Yan Qingyi was just like an ordinary person who had been scared silly by the scene just now.
Xuan Yin finally retreated to Xuan Yin's side. The two of them were a meter apart.
To an ordinary person, this distance wouldn't be a threat to Xuan Yin. Even a strong cultivator with a certain level of strength wouldn't be able to threaten her.
Xuan Yin knew that if she retreated a little more, she would be safe. She would then take Fang Shishi and fly far away.
Just as she was about to miss Yan Qingyi, she inadvertently glanced out of the corner of her eye and suddenly realized that Yan Qingyi had disappeared.
Before she had time to figure out what was going on, she sensed that there was an extra person behind her. She was shocked and cried out in alarm. Her whole body was on full alert, but she was still a step too late.
A soft palm hit her elbow joint. It was an extremely clever move. Her wrist tilted and the long sword moved away from Fang Shishi's neck.
Fang Shishi wasn't an ordinary person either. She accurately grasped this crucial flaw and with a slip of her feet, she rushed forward and completely escaped from Xuan Yin's control.
Xuan Yin was shocked and angry. She turned her head slightly and saw Yan Qingyi's calm eyes.
Yan Qingyi looked at her indifferently as if she was looking at an extremely ordinary person. It was as if in her eyes, Xuan Yin wasn't a huge threat at all.
Xuan Yin had lost her hostage and it was impossible to get her back. Only this person in front of her could become the new hostage.
