The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

Hearing the ghost-masked man's shout, Xue Luoyun and the others immediately threw away the medicinal materials and speedily ran towards the entrance of the cave.

However, this ghost-masked man was not an ordinary person. His hands were quick, and he quickly pulled out his sword to slash at them. At this moment, Mu Sheng and Xue Ruoyun took out the daggers they carried with them, protecting the Holy Maiden on their left and right as they fought with all their might against the Ghost-Masked Man. As for Wei Ming, he headed towards the place where the two had hidden their weapons and took out all of their swords. Fortunately, the sword was hidden behind the idol and no one noticed it.

"Come, catch!" Wei Ming closed in on the two as he fought, then threw the sword over.

Mu Sheng and Xue Ruoyun caught the treasured sword in succession and pulled it out. A cold light immediately radiated from them and the cold air was oppressing. The few of them fought on as they moved forward with great difficulty.

"Mu Sheng, the door to the cave is about to close. We have to hurry over." While protecting the Holy Maiden, Xue Ruyun spoke to the fiercely fighting Mu Sheng.

At this time, the cave entrance had already landed, and there was only half a person's height left from the ground. On the other hand, the door of the cave was as heavy as a thousand gold. Once it closed, no matter how strong they were, they wouldn't be able to open the door.

"Looks like this is the only way." Mu Rong Zhan mumbled to himself. Then, he suddenly started to circulate his power, causing the blood in his body to flow in reverse.

"This is..." Xue Ruyun and Wei Ming looked at each other and immediately understood what Mu Ying was trying to do. They couldn't let Mu Ying take the risk alone. Thinking of this, Wei Ming and Xue Ruoyun were lucky enough to get together.

Seeing more and more Ghost-Masked Man closing in from behind them, the few of them suddenly saw their martial arts increase as if they were going crazy. Their cultivation levels were already very high, and now that they had increased by a few levels, these Ghost-Masked Men were simply unable to withstand it. The Ghost-Masked Men blocking their path quickly fell wave after wave, and Mu Ming and the rest advanced forward at an extremely fast speed, becoming more and more anxious.

So it turned out that they used a type of taboo for those that cultivated martial arts. In the cultivation of martial arts, one must follow a gradual process, step by step, going deeper. Otherwise, it was very easy for one's cultivation to go berserk. In order to pursue progress, many cultivators forcefully circulated their energy, causing the meridians in their entire body to reverse flow. This way, their cultivation could increase very quickly in a short period of time.

However, this method was more radical, and could easily damage the heart meridian. If it was not properly controlled, it would damage the bones and muscles, and the martial arts would regress for a short period of time. The most important thing was to attack the heart anxiously and have one's cultivation go berserk. (TL: Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi + Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi.) There were even some that would cause their meridians to burst and die on the spot because of the outflow of powerful inner force.

Naturally, Xue Luoyun and the others used this method to greatly increase their internal energy for a short period of time, but at the same time, they had to bear the serious consequences of having their internal energy increase as well.

It wasn't that they didn't know the severity of the consequences, but it was just that this was the only way for them to kill the powerful Ghost-Masked Man in their encirclement and escape before the cave door could close.

He saw that they were getting closer and closer to the cave entrance, but the backlash from the few of them was becoming more obvious. Xue Ruoyun was killing and killing, and he would feel faint dizziness, as if he couldn't see anything, as if he was losing some of his strength. Even his forehead began to drip with sweat, holding the hand of the Holy Maiden tightly.

Xue Ruyun shook his head and continued to persevere. Victory was right in front of him. She looked in the direction of Mu Ying. It was as if he hadn't done anything like this. Seeing that he was safe, Xue Ruoyun felt much more at ease.

At this moment, Mu Ying felt even worse. This was because the deeper the inner strength of the person was, the higher their cultivation level would be, and the greater the backlash would be. He just didn't want to make Xue Ruyun worry, and he wanted to give her courage. Thus, his clothes didn't change at all.

Just as they were about to reach the cave entrance, the cave entrance was already very low. Squatting down, it was impossible for them to leave, so they could only roll around and leave.

Although there were a lot of ghost-masked men, once Mu Sheng and the others escaped through the cave door, the cave door would close and they would no longer be able to catch them.

"All of you, leave first." Mu Ying said as he killed his way through the crowd.

"Alright!" Xue Moyan pulled the Holy Maiden with him as they fought their way towards the cave entrance.

"Get out of here, quick." Xue Ruyun said to the Holy Maiden, about to send her out.

"Sister, sister, save me!" Suddenly, a familiar voice called out. The Ghost-Masked Man walked out with Xue Shaoli in tow. His entire body was covered with wounds, and the blade rested on his neck.

"Quick, all of you, don't worry about the sword. Otherwise, I'll kill her!" The bronze masked man shouted. The knife cut a thin line of blood on Xue Shaoli's neck.

"You bunch of despicable people." Xue Ruyun killed a Ghost-Masked Man, then loudly cursed.

"Elder sister, save me, I don't want to die …" Xue Shaoli begged in tears.

"Careful, don't fall into his trap. The cave entrance is about to close. Get out!" Mu Ying reminded her and urged her anxiously.

Hearing Mu Rong Hao's reminder, Xue Ruoyun had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't want to leave Xue Shaoli behind. At this moment, she glanced at the entrance and was about to close it!
