Immediately following, there were rapid and powerful clanging sounds, the sound of flames whistling, the sound of swords chopping off trees, and the sound of strong winds and breaking air.
The gloomy voice shouted angrily: "Who are you?"
Another cold and proud voice sounded: "The evildoers of the Demon Sect shall be killed by everyone."
Amid the loud bang, even the earth seemed to shake, accompanied by a muffled groan.
There were sounds of breaking stones, falling trees, and the whistling of swords. It was obvious that the hook-nosed thug was fighting with the mysterious newcomer.
The battle lasted for a long time, and the sounds became more rapid and louder. It was obvious that it had reached a critical moment.
The whistling sound of flames was gradually suppressed, but the whistling sound of swords became more and more intense and continuous.
Whoosh! A strong wind blew through the air, breaking branches and leaves along the way.
After a while, there was the sound of a sword being sheathed: "You run very fast."
The sound of steady and powerful footsteps was approaching and stopped beside her.
A hand placed on the wooden lid, and with a bang, the lid flipped up and light poured in.
The girl still had her eyes open blankly, empty and powerless, as if she had turned into a living corpse.
However, the surprised voice that followed made her panic again: "Miss Du?"
Realizing that she had been recognized by the mysterious visitor, her pupils focused weakly and slowly onto the man's face.
He was a young man with a gentle and handsome face... He was actually the young city lord of Xiaohanshan City, the person she had targeted harshly a few days ago.
The girl screamed and curled up in the coffin. Her hysterical cry was piercing and sharp, with a tone of helpless crying.
The abused and scarred body and the words carved on the legs were all seen by this person.
I used to think that darkness was the deepest pain, but now I realize that beneath the darkness, there is an even deeper hell.
Just a few days ago, she stood in front of this man with a sword, and arrogantly called him a "cowardly heretic."
At this moment, she appeared in his eyes in this state. At this moment, she wished she could die.
She screamed and cried! But the man quickly took off his coat, covered her with it, carried her out of the coffin, and whispered, "Miss Du, it's all right now. I'll get you out." He turned around and flew away quickly.
"Don't worry about me!" The girl cried weakly in the generous arms of the young city lord of Xiaohanshan City, "Don't worry about me."
The trees around them kept receding, and the light and shadow came and went on their bodies.
The mountain wind blew through the woods, and the gradually weakening sobbing sound was lost in the wind bit by bit—

Shi Hao carried Du Yuejiao to a cave deep in the forest. In his arms, Du Yuejiao struggled weakly for a few times, and then began to cry silently again.
At this moment, Shi Hao had already lifted the evil shadow disguise technique.
I know very well that the so-called "disguise" is not just a change of appearance, but even requires me to pretend to be two completely different people. In this way, I will not be easily discovered.
So I completely put my other self behind me and put myself in her shoes.
Then I found myself quite sympathetic to her. The person who hurt and tortured her was really despicable.
"Miss Du, your meridians are blocked. I will try my best to push the blood through your uterus and unblock your blocked acupoints." Shi Hao said softly.
Shi Hao helped her up and sat behind her solemnly.
He put the coat on her and injected his internal energy into her back to clear her meridians.
This is something that only authentic Taoist internal skills can achieve.
There are thousands of martial arts in the world, but most sects are actually unable to cultivate this kind of true qi that can heal people.
This is also one of the reasons why Taoism's inner alchemy is unique, and it is also the main reason why Taoism can grow and develop in the martial arts world.
After a while, Shi Hao took his hand back and helped Du Yuejiao lie down slowly. He whispered, "Miss Du, that thug is from the Demon Sect. His method of burning meridians and cutting off pulses is quite brutal. I can only help you recover slowly."
Then he asked, "Do you want me to send you back to Mingkun Temple?"
Du Yuejiao shrank under her coat, shook her head, and whispered, "No... Don't."
No matter what, she didn't want anyone to see her like this.
If she had a choice, she would even wish that this person had never appeared.
Du Yuejiao practiced the inner secrets of Chongxian Sect, and she herself knew very well how powerful the villain's methods of sealing acupoints and cutting meridians were.
The young city lord did help her recover some of her internal strength and also ignited some hope in her heart.
As if he could understand her mood, the young city lord of Xiaohanshan City spoke softly and whispered, "Then you can rest here first. Don't worry, I will be guarding outside."
The girl watched him leave the cave.
She curled up in the cave, pulling her coat tight around her, her bent thighs tucked underneath it.
In a daze, she saw the young man's back.
He stood there, his back to her, motionless.
The girl shed tears silently, her mood was extremely complicated.
This feeling of being protected made her feel more at ease, but also more guilty.
The girl slept for a long time. She had never slept so soundly in these few nights.
For several nights in a row, she was forced to sleep by the murderer through sealing her acupoints, which made her increasingly exhausted.
Later, she had a dream. In her dream, the criminal's hooked nose was like a huge mountain, pressing down on her.
The girl was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She suddenly sat up while twitching, and her coat slipped off.
Looking outside, it was already dark and there was a flash of fire outside.
She wiped the sweat off her face and crawled towards the cave entrance in fear and anxiety.
She covered her chest with her coat, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of her coat with one hand, pressing tightly against the wound on her leg.
Looking outside the cave, I saw an iron pot placed on the blazing campfire, with the aroma of meat oozing out of the pot.
The young man sitting by the campfire, facing her sideways, had a gentle face and a soft glow under the last rays of the setting sun.
The girl lay back silently, curled up her body, and looked at the fire at the entrance of the cave.
As darkness fell, the blazing flames flickered at the entrance of the cave.
She thought she could still see that soft glow, which made her know that she had finally managed to escape from the clutches of the evil thief.
She shed tears quietly, and her thoughts slowly came to life along with the hope that had been frozen.
After a while, the young lord of Xiaohanshan City moved a torch in to illuminate the cave.
He came in cautiously, carrying a bowl of broth from the previous night.
He gently helped the girl up without saying a word or asking her any questions.
He just fed her mouthful by mouthful, and after she finished the soup, he continued to use his internal energy to push the blood through her uterus to help her recover her physical and internal strength.
Then help her up and let her lie down.
"I'll be guarding outside!" After saying this, he went out.
Only that soft and gentle glow seems to never disappear even after the sun sets.
It covered the entrance of the cave and also covered her dream tonight.
At least tonight, no more nightmares...
—
She slept extremely peacefully that night. Even on the next day, when the sky outside the cave had begun to brighten, she was still sleeping soundly and didn't want to wake up too soon.
Maybe it’s like someone who has been hungry for a long time, even the steamed corn bread made of coarse rice tastes delicious.
At this moment, Du Yuejiao actually felt that being able to have a good sleep in such a cave was extremely sweet.
Even though there was only some dry grass under her that the young man had found at random.
Even though she was only covered with a simple coat.
She drank another bowl of meat soup in the morning. At noon, she put on her coat and, with the help of Shi Hao, slowly walked out of the cave and into the sunshine.
The sun is bright and the clouds are vast.
The warm sunshine fell on her body, making her feel much better.
The coat the young man gave her was just a simple straight-collared coat.
However, because Xiaohanshan City produces its own silk, the fabric is of high quality and feels soft when worn.
She is just a girl, and wearing such a loose men's coat, although it looks very strange, it actually has a different kind of beauty.
With the help of Shi Hao, the girl's internal strength and physical strength recovered a lot.
Shi Hao accompanied her and took a walk in the mountains to change her mood.
They found a waterfall in the forest. In the evening, the girl washed herself under the waterfall, while Shi Hao helped her guard outside the forest.
After waiting for a long time, a cry suddenly came from the direction of the waterfall.
Shi Hao didn't know what was going on. He turned around and quickly rushed over. He saw the girl sitting on the ground by the water, half wearing her coat. She was crying and paddling her thighs hard with a stone.
The place where the words were originally engraved was scratched and bleeding, and the blood overflowed and flowed along the stream.
The girl took a sharp stone and smashed the bloody area hard.
Shi Hao rushed over, held her in his arms, and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay... It's really okay!"
The girl dropped the stone, turned around, hugged him, and cried hard.
The crying was loud, sad and miserable, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances and tortures she had suffered in the past few days.
Shi Hao held her tightly in his arms, like an eagle protecting its chicks, or like a pillar supporting the sky, standing still and providing comfort to her.
That night, the girl fell ill and her forehead was burning with a high fever.
The authentic Taoist mental method, even if it has only reached the ninth level, is the initial stage of the inner elixir. After taking a ninth-level external elixir, even if all diseases cannot be cured, it is extremely rare for someone to get sick.
What's more, she actually already has the foundation of the eighth level.
Because of this, once you fall ill, it will become more troublesome.
It was probably because her heart had been tense for the past few days, and it was not until she cried in the evening that the pain was completely released. Her body and mind suddenly relaxed, and she was instead defeated by the disease.
Shi Hao had to stay by her side all night, taking care of her, using his inner energy from time to time to relieve her illness, and taking care of her without leaving her side.
Occasionally, the girl would wake up from her coma and grab the corner of his clothes tightly like a child, refusing to let go.
Chapter 21 Earth Dog Planet
Under Shi Hao's careful care, after more than a day, Du Yuejiao's condition finally showed great improvement.
If he did not have an eighth-grade foundation and had not practiced the authentic mental method of Taisu Xian Pavilion, he probably would not have been able to help her recover so quickly.
Du Yuejiao's internal strength had almost recovered in this incident. Although his body was still weak, he was able to move freely relying on his own internal strength.
Even so, there are still many blocked places in her meridians, and it will take many more days to recover.
The thug's finger technique was indeed brutal and terrifying. Even this kind of Taoist true Qi would take a lot of time to alleviate its remaining residual force.
That evening, Du Yuejiao wore the young man's coat, tied a straw rope around his waist, and sat under a tree, watching the young man barbecue on the campfire with relish.
Shi Hao's cooking skills seemed very good. He used a plate to catch the dripping oil, mixed it with some spices he brought with him, and brushed it on the barbecue over and over again.
This was the first time that Du Yuejiao saw such a barbecue scene outdoors.
In the past, she devoted herself to cultivation in Chongxian Sect and never had to worry about such trivial matters.
Looking at this man operating carefully at this moment, I unexpectedly found it quite interesting.
Shi Hao carried a sword with him, and he cut the half-cooked pheasant with the sword to allow the flavor of the seasoning to penetrate further with the hot oil.
After a long while, the pheasant was roasted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
He tore open the chicken leg, but carefully removed the slightly burnt part on the outside, cut the tender part into thin strips with a knife, and then handed it to the girl under the tree.
After all, she had just recovered from a serious illness and didn't like greasy food.
Du Yuejiao was inexplicably touched by the other party's attentiveness.
When it was dark, Du Yuejiao, who had been lying down for a long time, had not fully recovered yet, but his strength had improved a lot, so he wanted to walk more.
