After Severing Her Emotions, the Whole Sect Was Overwhelmed with Grief - Chapter 96:
Chapter 96: Unable to Resist Being Drawn to Bai Ying
If Xiao Yu really died under the claws of the Azure Flood Dragon, Bai Ying certainly wouldn’t intervene.
But he definitely carried a Life-Saving Talisman. Even if he died now, it would only cost him a talisman, nothing more.
Moreover, this fool had already alerted the enemy, which was truly infuriating.
Xiao Yu originally wanted to show off in front of Bai Ying. He deliberately unleashed the pressure of his Golden Core Realm cultivation, and with a sharp gleam in his eyes, thrust his sword straight toward the Azure Dragon’s vital point.
His body moved like lightning, slicing through the air at high speed, and the sword in his hand gleamed with a chilling light, full of unstoppable momentum.
However, what he hadn’t expected was that just as his sword touched the dragon’s scales, an overwhelming force struck back at him without any warning. It was like a roaring tidal wave, filled with an ancient, unstoppable might. The powerful impact hit him squarely, knocking him off balance.
The force was so terrifying that he didn’t even have time to dodge. Before he could even process his shock, he was struck hard by that immense power.
His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily onto the ground.
The Azure Dragon immediately noticed his position. Fury burned in its enormous eyes as it let out a deafening roar and charged at him.
Its massive body stirred up a violent gust of wind, flattening everything in its path. It moved like lightning, closing the distance between them in an instant.
Xiao Yu was stunned. He had only wanted to impress Bai Ying, but now, in just one encounter, he had been easily crushed.
Looking at the enraged dragon storming toward him, even though he had the Life-Saving Talisman and wouldn’t truly die, a primal fear still surged from his heart. Despair wrapped around him.
What should he do?
Just then, he heard Bai Ying’s voice:
“Get out of the way!”
And then he saw the figure he often imagined in his mind stepping in front of him at that critical moment—
Bai Ying blocked the attack for him!
She summoned her incense burner artifact and placed it firmly in front of Xiao Yu. Instantly, a surge of overwhelming spiritual energy burst forth from the incense burner, shining with dazzling brilliance. The powerful energy filled the air, clashing head-on with the Azure Dragon’s terrifying dragon aura.
The Azure Dragon’s aura was dominating and oppressive, while the power from Bai Ying’s incense burner was flexible and spirited. The two forces collided fiercely, sending out deafening booms. The surrounding air twisted violently under the pressure, with sand and stones flying and trees bending.
Bai Ying gritted her teeth, pouring all her strength into the incense burner artifact, continuously releasing spiritual energy.
Xiao Yu could only stare at her, his eyes locked onto her figure. The shock he felt at this moment was beyond words…
His scalp tingled, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.
His gaze stayed glued to Bai Ying’s back. A strange, indescribable emotion was born deep inside him.
Xiao Yu and Bai Ying had never truly fought side by side before.
Back then, when he first approached Bai Ying, he hadn’t known anything about her. All he knew was that she was the one who had supposedly hurt Ruan Xinyou. After getting close to her, he had only treated her as a plaything.
Even now, when he missed her, it was always the image of her soft, gentle side that appeared in his mind.
But at this moment, seeing Bai Ying standing in front of him like this…
He suddenly felt that she was glowing.
Bai Ying was different from what he had imagined — she was even more captivating than he had thought.
In the cultivation world, strength spoke louder than anything else. A powerful person naturally attracted attention, let alone someone Xiao Yu had always schemed to get close to.
Right now, he couldn’t take his eyes off Bai Ying. Just looking at her like this made him feel intoxicated.
At that moment, he suddenly heard Bai Ying calling his name, “Xiao Yu.”
His heart gave a violent thump.
Then he saw Bai Ying pointing at the Azure Dragon’s eyes and saying to him, “Quick, attack there!”
Xiao Yu immediately summoned his weapon and aimed it at the dragon’s eyes.
The Azure Dragon roared furiously and swung its huge tail toward Xiao Yu, but Bai Ying once again stepped in front of him and blocked the blow.
“I’ll distract it!” Bai Ying commanded. “Xiao Yu, keep aiming at its eyes! Miaomiao, you attack its weak spot!”
“Got it!” Wang Miaomiao shouted as she rushed forward.
None of them dared to let down their guard. Although the creature in front of them couldn’t truly be called a real dragon — it was still a flood dragon — it already carried the aura of a dragon, and it was far more dangerous than an ordinary beast.
Bai Ying led the battle the entire time, taking on the brunt of the dragon’s attacks, while Xiao Yu and Wang Miaomiao focused entirely on attacking.
Xiao Yu had never fought so easily before. When the massive Azure Flood Dragon finally collapsed with a thunderous crash, he could hardly believe it.
He excitedly ran toward Bai Ying, unable to stop the smile on his face. In fact, he almost wanted to hug her.
But just as he reached out his hand, Wang Miaomiao’s sharp voice rang out:
“Bai Ying, let’s go back quickly! I just remembered — my brother is looking for you about something important, and I forgot to tell you. It’s really urgent!”
As she spoke, she grabbed Bai Ying’s hand, ready to drag her away.
Bai Ying nodded at her and then turned to Xiao Yu, saying, “I’ll be going now.”
After splitting the spoils evenly among the three of them, Bai Ying and Wang Miaomiao quickly left.
Xiao Yu instantly felt a pang of regret. There was still so much he wanted to say to her.
He watched Bai Ying’s departing figure, reluctant to even blink.
He had never experienced being this close to Bai Ying during a battle before. Although he had always known she was strong, it had never been like this — fighting side by side.
Now that he had tasted it, he wanted more.
He even found himself thinking: If only it could always be like this.
It wasn’t until he heard Ruan Xinyou’s voice beside him that he snapped out of his daze.
Ruan Xinyou had been nearby all along. Seeing that Bai Ying had left and Xiao Yu still hadn’t come to find her, she hurried over.
Upon seeing Xiao Yu, she couldn’t wait to say,
“Senior Brother Xiao, when are you bringing Bai Ying back to the Radiant Sun Sect?”
Ruan Xinyou couldn’t stand waiting any longer. She wanted to dig out Bai Ying’s spiritual roots and Golden Core right away.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, “Don’t be in such a hurry. Even if we’re going to bring her back, we have to take it step by step.”
“But…” Ruan Xinyou frowned slightly, her tone sour, “Senior Brother Xiao, I’m afraid you’ll fall for her and then won’t have the heart to treat her like that.”
Xiao Yu smiled and rubbed Ruan Xinyou’s head.
“How could that happen? I want to bring her back even more than you do.”

Good, when you fail miserably, I hope that bish steals your golden core. Please let FL destroy it again…and again…and again. I wouldn’t be surprised if that bish attacked her master later too.
