Just as the blade energy broke through the woman's battle aura shield, it was about to strike her.
Suddenly, the blade energy seemed to be controlled by something, stopping less than a foot in front of the woman.
Immediately afterwards, the five of them suddenly found that the entire world in their eyes had turned black and white, and was extremely silent.
They discovered that they could only move their eyes, and their entire body was immobile.
Under the gaze of the five, the space in mid-air rippled, and a handsome young man dressed in white and purple intertwined with ink paintings appeared between the five.
He extended his finger and lightly touched the blade energy, which instantly dissipated.
The two burly men saw this scene, but since the other person had his back to them, they could not see his face clearly. Although they did not know who the other person was, his actions clearly indicated that he was not an enemy.
But he did not know anyone with such terrifying strength.
When the Seven-Star Dou Huang saw the man casually extinguish his sword energy and save the two of them, he knew that the man was an enemy and not a friend, and his eyes instantly turned to fear.
Then they saw the handsome man slowly point his finger at them. The seemingly light finger looked like something terrifying to them.
With a finger pointing into the void, the space trembled slightly, and the eyes of the three black-robed men instantly turned to horror. Then, their bodies gradually disintegrated, turning into ashes and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, both the burly man and woman felt their hearts skip a beat, their eyes widening in disbelief.
Two six-star Dou Huangs and one seven-star Dou Huang were easily wiped out, without even a struggle.
The burly man suddenly realized his vision had returned to a colorful state. He quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute, and the woman did the same. The burly man's voice was filled with gratitude. "Thank you for saving my life, senior. I will definitely repay you."
Before he could finish speaking, the figure in front of him slowly turned around, and a slightly amused voice rang out. "Liu Qing, it has been several years since we last met. I never expected that we would meet again under such circumstances."
That was right. The man being chased was none other than Liu Qing, a former student of Jia Nan Academy and a close friend of his younger brother Xiao Yan, with whom he fought and cherished each other.
The woman beside him was Liu Qing's cousin, Liu Fei.
Hearing the gentle yet magnetic voice, Liu Qing felt a slight sense of familiarity. He looked up at the person who had saved him.
Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, his body stiffened slightly, and he stared in disbelief at the ethereal man before him. "You... you are Xiao Tian??"
Upon hearing Liu Qing's words, Liu Fei immediately raised her head and looked at Xiao Tian. She naturally had a deep impression of this man who was known as the most handsome and strongest in Jia Nan Academy.
Xiao Tian nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a jade bottle floated in front of Liu Qing.
Liu Qing took the jade bottle, opened it, and was immediately surprised to find a sixth-grade healing medicine inside, and it was even of intermediate or higher grade.
A mid-grade sixth-rank pill is extremely valuable; even with his current Dou Huang strength, he could not obtain it easily.
"This is too precious. You saved my life before, which is already a great favor. This pill is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
Liu Qing hurriedly handed the jade bottle back to Xiao Tian. He knew the terrifying strength and alchemist status of the man in front of him. This thing might be insignificant to him, but it was extremely valuable to him.
Xiao Tian glanced at Liu Qing, waved his hand, and said with a hint of teasing, "Just take it. Why have you become so hesitant after all these years? Your injuries are so severe. If you do not take this pill, you will not make it through. I will have saved you for nothing."
Then Xiao Tian changed the subject. "Besides, if I let you die in front of me, Xiao Yanzi would kill me. You are his best buddy, after all."
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Liu Qing was also lost in memories.
Xiao Tian continued, "And I will be using the space wormhole in your Tianhuang City later, so consider this as payment."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing felt much better knowing he could be of help.
Not everyone enjoys the feeling of owing others, but Liu Qing is exactly that kind of person.
"No problem, of course no problem. Leave it to the Liu family."
Liu Qing hurriedly said, looking like he would have patted his chest if he were not seriously injured.
Liu Fei, who was standing to the side, grabbed the jade bottle in Liu Qing's hand, opened it, took out the pills inside, and put them to Liu Qing's lips. "Cousin, your injuries are too serious, and only by living can you repay Xiao Tian's kindness."
Without further hesitation, Liu Qing swallowed the pill in front of his mouth.
Xiao Tian smiled slightly. After Liu Qing took the pill, his pale face gradually regained its rosy color, and he was no longer in a weak state.
After taking a look, Xiao Tian could see that Liu Qing's face was more resolute than it had been at the academy, and he exuded a sense of authority, no longer the hot-blooded young man he once was. Presumably, he had gradually begun to manage his family.
Meanwhile, Liu Fei, who used to have a spoiled and arrogant look on her face, had now matured. It was clear that after leaving the academy, she had experienced many struggles and events, as well as the harsh realities of society, and had grown up.
She met Xiao Tian and the others at the academy, and after coming out, she saw a lot of things. She also realized that there were many people in this world who were stronger than her almost invincible cousin. This made her gradually restrain her willfulness and learn to treat others with gentleness.
Having recovered most of his injuries, Liu Qing sheathed his spear and stepped forward to stand before Xiao Tian. His eyes filled with gratitude and excitement as he sized up Xiao Tian. Remembering that Xiao Tian had already reached the Dou Zong level before Liu Qing graduated, he could not help but smile wryly and speculate.
"Your strength is getting more and more terrifying. You have probably already reached the Dou Zun level, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Fei, who was standing behind Liu Qing, opened her mouth wide and stared at Xiao Tian with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
This talent is terrifying.
Dou Zun is a top-tier existence in the Central Plains, someone who can practically do whatever they want. The highest Dou Zong I have ever met is only a Seven-Star Dou Zong, who is my uncle and Liu Qing's biological father.
Xiao Tian smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying.
Seeing Xiao Tian's expression, Liu Qing knew he had guessed correctly. He could not help but gasp and pretended to regret it. "No wonder you are the most talented person since the academy was founded. Sigh! I suddenly regret not following you before."
