The child's cry was clearly made by a small child. Chu Jun could not have heard wrongly. He hurriedly rushed towards the place where the cry was made. Ning Yun and Shen Xiaobao hurriedly chased after him. Shen Xiaobao even loudly reminded him, "Chu Jun, be careful of deception!"
Chu Jun also knew that there might be cheating, but he couldn't ignore it, so he didn't stop.
There was a skinny figure squatting under a tree. Its figure was very similar to Xiaoxiao's. There seemed to be a person lying beside the little fellow.
"Wuwu, Daddy, wake up!" The child wept and tugged at the man lying on the ground. That voice was truly clear. It was undoubtedly Xiaoxiao. Chu Jun 's heart couldn't help but sink as he shouted, "Xiaoxiao!"
The little figure clearly trembled for a moment. Then, he stood up and turned to look in Chu Jun 's direction. He cried out, "Brother Jun, hurry up and save Daddy!"
Just as Chu Jun was about to rush over, Ning Yun and Shen Xiaobao pulled him to his left and right. Shen Xiaobao advised, "Be careful, these assassins are using all sorts of extreme methods, using all sorts of strange methods!" As he said that, he threw a moonstone over and accurately threw it at the little girl's feet.
Under the gentle white light of the moonstone, a little girl wearing a checkered skirt could be clearly seen. Her skirt was tattered, with a head of yellow hair. Her face was covered in tear stains and traces of being scratched by tree branches. Her entire body was drenched in blood. Chu Jun 's heart trembled, and he hurriedly ran over. The little fellow jumped into Chu Jun 's arms and cried out loudly, "Big Brother Jun, Xiaoxiao is so scared!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache. He comforted, "Big Brother Jun is here, don't be afraid!"
"Save daddy!" Xiaoxiao suddenly said anxiously.
"Don't worry, Brother Jun, save him now!" Chu Jun picked up the moonstone and shone on it. When he saw the person lying on the ground, he couldn't help but gasp. The man's clothes were indeed made of iron stones. His left hand was cut off at the same time. The blood in the wound had already condensed like black glue. His face was purple, black, and blue. It was obvious that he had been poisoned.
"Ah!" Ning Yun couldn't help but cover his mouth and let out a soft cry. He could already tell that Tie Shi was probably hopeless.
"Daddy!" Little tears poured out of her eyes as her hands rubbed her eyes hard.
Chu Jun 's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He stretched out his hand and pressed down on the carotid artery of the iron stone. He noticed that his pulse was still beating slightly. He hurriedly said, "There might still be hope!"
"Be careful!" Ning Yun suddenly cried out in shock.
Tie Shi, who was originally motionless, actually sat up and reached out to grab Chu Jun 's throat. He seemed to have a steel claw on his hand, and the tip of the sharp claw was blue. Clearly, it had been tempered with poison.
The upheaval occurred abruptly, and it was extremely fast. Chu Jun had no room to dodge at all. He was about to lose his life under this sharp claw. But at this moment, something even stranger happened. The other hand abruptly grasped the sharp claw that was grabbing towards Chu Jun's throat. After pausing for a moment, Chu Jun had already reacted. He quickly jumped back. Shen Xiaobao waved his sword and instantly cut off the wrist that was covered with steel claws!
"Ya!" A miserable scream sounded, followed by a white shadow that flew out from behind Tie Shi and quickly escaped a few meters away.
It turned out that this person was actually silently hiding under the iron stones. He suddenly reached out from under the iron stones' armpits to sneak attack Chu Jun . He was about to succeed, but the half-dead iron stones suddenly grabbed onto his arm, causing his success to fall short and Chen Xiaobao even cut off his wrist.
"Iron Stone!" Chu Jun was pleasantly surprised as he raised the dying iron stone.
Xiaoxiao happily pounced on Tie Shi's body and wiped away her tears, shouting, "Daddy!"
Tie Shi's eyes were tightly closed, his face pitch black and blue, his lips buzzing slightly, "Xiaoxiao … don't touch Dad, Dad's body is poisonous!"
"Xiaoxiao is not afraid. Daddy, don't die!" The little fellow sobbed.
Tie Shi raised his hand with great difficulty, as if he was about to grab something. He weakly shouted, "Is Senior Brother Chu here? I heard your voice!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness. He reached out and held Tie Shi's large hand that had already turned black. He said with a heavy heart, "Big Brother Tie Shi, Chu Jun is here. Thank you for saving me just now!"
Tie Shi's lips twitched as if he wanted to laugh. He said intermittently, "That person … has been hiding behind me for a long time … I've been pretending to be dizzy. I heard Senior Brother Chu 's voice …!"
Tie Shi's words became harder and harder. Chu Jun hurriedly said, "Big Brother Tie Shi, don't speak for now. I'll treat your injuries!"
Tie Shi forcefully held Chu Jun 's hand and said with difficulty, "No … no need, let me … I'll finish my sentence!"
Chu Jun also knew that Tie Shi had already poisoned his heart. Even Immortal Da Luo would not be able to save him. He must have some unfulfilled wish, so he had been holding on until now.
"Big brother Tie Shi, tell me, I'll listen!" Chu Jun said sincerely.
Tie Shi's throat let out a bellows-like sound as he hissed, "Tie Shi has been a bachelor all his life. Ever since … picking up Xiao Xiao, he has always treated her as his own … biological daughter loves her, now …"
"Daddy!" Xiaoxiao cried out with tears in her eyes.
Tie Shi loosened his grip on Chu Jun 's hand and stroked his little head. His face, which was unable to make an expression, trembled. He weakly said, "Xiaoxiao … you've always been very sensible, but daddy won't … can't take care of you anymore in the future. You have to … listen to senior brother Chu and be obedient!"
"Daddy, Xiaoxiao will be good, Xiaoxiao won't let you die, Xiaoxiao will be obedient … Wuwu, Daddy, don't leave Xiaoxiao!" The little fellow lay in Tie Shi's arms and cried until he was in tears.
Ning Yun had been carefully guarding against the white-clothed man with his flying sword in hand, but when he heard this, his eyes turned red and he wiped away his tears. Even Shen Xiaobao , who had never had a proper shape, fell silent.
Tie Shi's tightly closed eyes suddenly moved. Two drops of black liquid oozed out from the corner of his eyes. Perhaps it was tears!
" Senior Brother Chu ! Senior Brother Chu !" Tie Shi suddenly raised his voice, his right hand groping around. Chu Jun hurriedly reached out to hold him and shouted, "Big Brother Tie Shi, I'm here!"
"Tie Shi wants to ask you something!" Tie Shi gasped for breath.
Chu Jun said in a deep voice, "Big Brother Tieshi, you say that Chu Jun will definitely do it for you!"
"Zhao … take care of Xiao … Xiao!" Tie Shi's voice became weaker and weaker, but his breathing became louder and louder, as if he had to exhaust all of his strength every time he said a word.
Chu Jun tightened his grip on Tie Shi's hand and said solemnly, "Big Brother Tie Shi, don't worry. As long as Chu Jun is still alive, he will definitely take good care of Xiaoxiao and not let her suffer any harm. Let her grow up healthily and happily!"
"Good … good … then I can rest assured to see my brothers. The two of them can't be there without my protection!" Tie Shi's voice finally became inaudible, and his grip on Chu Jun 's hand gradually loosened.
"Daddy!" Xiao Xiaoxiao cried out in sorrow, crying loudly on the gradually cooling corpse of the iron stones. Those who heard it were sad, and those who listened wept.
Chu Jun silently put down Tie Shi's hand. The corners of his eyes were a little wet, and parting ways between life and death was the most hurtful!
Ning Yun squatted down and touched her small back. He sniffed and comforted her, "Xiaoxiao, don't cry. Will Big Sister Yun take care of you in the future?"
"I want daddy, I want daddy … wuwu!" Xiaoxiao twisted her body and broke away from Ning Yun 's hand.
Chu Jun slowly stood up. His expression became extremely cold, and his gaze was terrifyingly sharp. Even Shen Xiaobao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw this.
Chu Jun stared coldly at the white-robed ghost-faced man in the distance and said with a bone-chilling voice, "Why didn't you let go of even a few of the body cultivators you hired?"
The white-clothed man was also wearing a human skin mask. The dead face was cold and expressionless. His right hand was cut off by Shen Xiaobao 's wrist, but the blood had stopped.
"We only need to kill people, be it body cultivators or immortal cultivators!" The white-clothed man said sinisterly.
Chu Jun said coldly, "You seem to be here to die!"
"You almost died just now. You were just lucky. You won't be so lucky anymore!" The white-clothed man said sinisterly.
Three ghost-like black-clothed men slid out from the death aura surrounding them, surrounding Chu Jun and the others. Their cultivation levels were actually at the early stage of Spirit Condensation.
Shen Xiaobao 's expression couldn't help but change. Although the black-clothed assassin that had ambushed him earlier was only at the Spirit Refining Stage, it was already extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, three Spirit Condensing Stage assassins had arrived at once.
" Ning Yun , protect Xiaoxiao!" Chu Jun said indifferently.
Ning Yun nodded and said, "I will definitely protect her!"
Chu Jun and Shen Xiaobao exchanged a glance. They stood on horns and formed an offensive-defensive alliance. These killers' movements were strange and their numbers were superior. Using a defensive counter-attack strategy was undoubtedly the most appropriate.
Shen Xiaobao waved his hand and a blue-white light flashed. A lightning-shining magic shield formed in front of him, blocking the vital parts in front of him. This was the Lightning Shield Technique of the Five Thunder Heavenly Arts.
Starting from the Spirit Condensation stage, the Five Thunder Heavenly Art had a defensive move and an offensive move on each floor. The defensive move of the Spirit Condensation stage was the Lightning Shield Technique, and the offensive move was the Lightning Blast (Lightning Ball). Lightning Shield was only used when it was at a disadvantage, because using Lightning Shield would affect the flexibility of movement and consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy.
From Shen Xiaobao 's point of view, excluding the white-clothed man, the other three black-clothed men were all at the early stage of Spirit Condensation. On his side, only he and Ning Yun were at the stage of Spirit Condensation, and there was one person to protect Xiaoxiao. Therefore, it was good to be able to hold on and wait for Zhao Yu and the others to rescue him.
The three black-clothed men didn't seem to want to waste time consuming Shen Xiaobao 's Spiritual Energy. The short sword in their hands flew towards them.
Dang! The lightning shield in front of Shen Xiaobao touched it, producing a buzzing sound. Chu Jun brandished his sword and slashed the short saber in front of him. At this moment, Shen Xiaobao was present. He didn't want to expose his ability to expel things, so he naturally couldn't fly with his sword. Over there, Shen Xiaobao had already used his flying sword to fight against a black-clothed assassin.
This girl Ning Yun was quite clever this time. She also cast a Lightning Shield Technique. The two Lightning Shields protected Xiaoxiao, making Chu Jun feel less worried about the future. Ning Yun and Shen Xiaobao stood with their backs facing each other. In a short period of time, it should be impossible for a few murderous intent to break through their lightning shield defense.
Chu Jun didn't want to expose the matter of expulsion, so he could only stand on the spot and be beaten. This was not the way to go on, so he shouted and pounced towards a black-clothed assassin.
