The rain of swords fell like a meteor shower. An unprecedented sense of crisis swept over, but Zhao Mu only felt a wave of sadness in his heart.

Until now, he still couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. Why did these people have to rack their brains to deal with him?

Zhao Mu didn't even know who he should believe and who he should suspect at this moment.

If this group of prisoners was deliberately arranged by Han Rong, then was Master Zhou Siliang's rescue the result of a deliberate arrangement?

Even the three Nascent Soul stage demons by his side, who seemed to be loyal and devoted, were they really following him wholeheartedly?

The Devil Sect's waters are too deep. I want to go back to my hometown and continue to be a free and unfettered playboy …

While he was thinking, the flying swords had already fallen.

Although Zhao Mu was not on guard, the seventh-grade defensive magic tool, Dragon Tendon Armor, on his body automatically opened, turning into a dragon-shaped armor that wrapped around Zhao Mu's body, blocking all the flying swords that attacked him.

But the other prisoners were not so lucky. One by one, they were pierced by the flying swords on the spot. Some of them had their Jindan pierced and died.

Ghost Toad and the other two were still defending with all their strength, and even helped Zhao Mu block most of the attacks. But there were too many enemies. If they continued to be attacked, it would be difficult for them to hold on.

These three ugly things were unexpectedly loyal.

"Boss, you run first. We'll cover you!"

Xiong Xia shouted loudly.

"Boss, if this old pig dies here, I'll have to trouble you to go to Wild Boar Ridge and tell Miss Lan Xiu that this old pig will repay her kindness in the next life!" Pig Flea roared, turned into his demon beast form, and rushed forward.

The golden armored cultivator snorted coldly. "Barbarians, how dare you be so rash!"

Then, he swung out a huge golden broadsword. The huge sword seemed to be made of gold, and it shone with an incomparably dazzling luster under the scorching sun.

The moment the sword was drawn, it was accompanied by a sinister sword cry.

The power of this sword was like a rainbow, so terrifying that it directly slashed towards Pig Flea.

Pig Flea seemed to have been immobilized. A second ago, he was still rushing forward, but now, he was motionless.

He silently closed his eyes, as if he had already prepared for the worst.

Clang!

In a split second, Zhao Mu raised the Heavenly Star Hunt high up and flew forward, intercepting in front of Pig Flea, helping him block the heavy blow of the golden greatsword.

A muffled bang resounded out, and the fifth-grade flying sword, Heavenly Star Timehunt, cracked apart along with this bang, shattering into star sand that covered the sky.

Although the power of the golden greatsword had been reduced by 30%, it still slashed towards Zhao Mu at an extremely fast speed.

The moment the sword approached, Zhao Mu's Dragon Tendon Armor erupted. Once again, it transformed into a dragon-shaped armor to block the attack of the golden sword.

Although he wasn't injured, Zhao Mu was still sent flying dozens of meters away by the heavy blow. He almost fell into the poisonous pond.

However, before Zhao Mu could catch his breath, the golden-armored cultivator had already flown over with his golden cloud. His eyes were cold and filled with disdain, but there seemed to be some sorrow as well, as if he wanted to perish together with Zhao Mu.

"Senior Sister Han, Qu Huai's life was given by you. Today, I will return it to you!"

After saying that, the golden-armored cultivator suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Mu tightly.

The next moment, the Nascent Soul in his body shone brightly, and a terrifying amount of Spirit Qi erupted in an instant.

He wanted to self-destruct his Nascent Soul!

Zhao Mu was so shocked by the golden-armored cultivator's actions that he even forgot about his fear. He asked, "Why do you have to do this?"

The golden-armored cultivator, Qu Huai, had no sorrow or joy in his eyes. He said indifferently, "It is my honor to die for Senior Sister Han. How can an ant-like human like you understand the nobility of my race?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang erupted from the golden-armored cultivator's body. Then, a terrifying Spirit Qi tsunami swept over.

Zhao Mu was like a lone boat in the middle of a storm. He was instantly submerged by the terrifying Spirit Qi tsunami.

Although the Dragon Tendon Armor's defense was amazing, it was still as fragile as a thin piece of paper in the face of the self-destruct attack of a Nascent Soul powerhouse.

The power of the Crimson Yang Sacred Body and the Human Emperor's bloodline erupted at the same time. Zhao Mu resisted with all his might, but he still felt powerless.

Just as Zhao Mu's consciousness was about to blur, a strange warm current suddenly emerged and surrounded him, completely isolating him from the violent Spirit Qi turbulence outside.

The next moment, a beautiful figure passed through the void and descended in front of Zhao Mu.

"What a vicious method. Han Rong, Han Rong, I really underestimated you."

Before his consciousness faded, Zhao Mu subconsciously reached out and hugged the woman's thigh.

"Master Saintess, you're finally here …"

After saying that, Zhao Mu could no longer hold on. His eyes turned black and he fainted.

The core sacred ground.

Zhou Siliang, Fan Deng, and Dugu Zhan were flying at full speed on their swords. They would arrive at the Law Enforcement Hall soon.

"Boom!"

Along with a loud bang, a surge of Spiritual Qi surged into the sky, causing the three of them to be shocked.

"Nascent Soul self-detonation!"

"Damn it, what happened?"

"I don't care who it is, as long as he dares to hurt my disciple, I'll kill his entire family!"

After this loud explosion, the stability that the Saint Prime Devil Sect had maintained for thousands of years was completely shattered.

After an unknown amount of time.

Zhao Mu woke up slowly, feeling unbearable pain all over his body.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that a thick layer of ointment had been applied all over his body. He was sleeping on a warm jade bed. A hazy and beautiful figure was sleeping on the edge of the bed with her chin resting on her hand. She was holding a large bowl of ointment in her hand as if she was ready to apply it on Zhao Mu at any time.

Zhao Mu blinked his eyes hard before he could see the woman's face clearly.

It was none other than Mu Jiuling, who should still be in confinement.

Wait, if Mu Jiuling was released, wouldn't that mean that he had been in a coma for more than half a year?

Zhao Mu tried to wake Mu Jiuling up, but he found that he could not make a sound at all.

Were his injuries that serious?

Zhao Mu hurriedly activated the Spirit Qi in his body and used the Endless Growth Art.

The Endless Growth Art was a technique used to heal injuries. It could speed up one's recovery.

With the nourishment of the Spirit Qi, the pain in Zhao Mu's body was alleviated. Although he had not regained his ability to move, he felt more at ease.

Just then, a ding sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission [Surviving a Great Disaster]. The system's trial period has ended. It will be upgraded to the official version and will be permanently soul-bound to the host."

"System upgrade and maintenance commencing …"

"System rebooting, please wait."

"Ding! System upgrade successful."

The continuous notifications in Zhao Mu's mind made him feel even more shocked.

It turned out that the system he used before was only in the trial period. This was the official soul-binding version.

"Are there any new functions after the system upgrade?"

Zhao Mu was just about to ask when a new system interface appeared in his mind.

There were ten slots for soul-binding on this system interface.

Zhao Mu casually clicked on one, and then some names and specific information appeared.

"Chu Jiaoran: Fox Clan. Core Formation Stage Level Three. Intimacy Level: 95. Can be bound."

"Lu Qi: Human, Core Formation Level One. Intimacy: 99. Bindable."

Mu Jiuling:?
