If Yue Hongling knew that he would come across such a terrifying opponent so soon, she would inevitably regret not hurrying to meet him. How could Zhao Changhe himself fight this opponent?

But even if she were here, would it be just to add another head to the list?

Zhao Changhe clenched his teeth, anxiously searching for a strategy in his mind.

It might not necessarily be a sacrifice...

Although he had fought many God Demons of the Imperial Realm, none were actually at their peak. For instance, Desolate Calamity and Feng Yin were previously mere corpses, and Yin Kui a bit better but still brimming with a ghastly spirit. Earlier on, they were incredibly weak, barely daring to show themselves, fearful of being killed by the strong of this world.

So had Jiuyou truly regained her strength from the early years?

Jiuyou looked pretty with red lips and white teeth, just a bit pale, overall appearing to have recovered much better than those invalids like Desolate Calamity and Feng Yin, and more human-like than the gloomy-looking Yin Kui, but that did not mean she had fully returned to the strength of the Imperial Realm Third Layer.

Jiuyou represented the chaos and darkness of the world. If she had recovered to the Imperial Realm Third Layer, she would have killed Xia Longyuan long ago, plunging the world into immediate chaos. However, just three months prior, Xia Longyuan was in charge of the Capital City, and despite the dissent in everyone's hearts, no one dared to act, including Jiuyou.

Xia Longyuan was merely at the Imperial Realm Second Layer, possibly in the late stage, but definitely not at the Third Layer. Three months ago, Jiuyou didn't even partake in the battle with the Sea Emperor, which shows she was far from ready... And in just these past three months, Jiuyou had at best recovered to Old Xia's level, and probably less so.

Furthermore, the blind woman previously did not want the Tao Venerable to take away the Heavenly Book, even taking action because of it, showing that she would not want the Ancient Demons to get their hands on it. Jiuyou seemed to rank higher than Tao Venerable, but would the blind woman just let Jiuyou kill her and take six pages of the Heavenly Book? She definitely wouldn't, hence when previously in the Spirit Clan, she kept reminding herself to be cautious with Jiuyou.

So would the blind woman take direct action?

Could it be that she only needed to perform decently herself, with the blind woman making a covert move, not too conspicuous, and she would intervene? It was very likely!

Anyway, regardless of whether the blind woman acted or not, he still had to fight with all his might. It seemed that the other party didn't know he was Zhao Changhe, otherwise, they would have flattened his head early. Since the opponent was unaware, that information gap could be exploited.

Zhao Changhe panted, watching the hand stretched in front of him, slowly bowing his head, making a kissing gesture.

Only if your heart is unprotected, making such a gesture of "submission," will you gradually become a servant of the night, a dog driven by her. And the fact is, she wouldn't actually let you kiss her, the more you chase, the deeper you sink, unable to awaken from your fall.

But Zhao Changhe's heart grew clearer. The Ice Heart Technique taught by Wanzhuang previously kept his waters still; the Diamond Sutra he had recently practiced in a rush, his heart as firm as gold.

Indeed, no matter how it looked like he was close to touching that slender hand, he could never quite touch it, the hand dropping lower, leading one to kneel.

Zhao Changhe trembled as he reached out, struggling to grasp the hand, Jiuyou's lips curling into a mocking smirk, while the night around them seized this moment of his "mind's dereliction," unabashedly entering his Spirit Platform.

The shadows entering the Spirit Platform collided with a bright burst of Buddhist light. Jiuyou, taken by surprise, watched as Zhao Changhe's Oscar-worthy trembling hands suddenly burst forth, shoving forward fiercely.

Seas and skies howled, suppressing and dominating!

Jiuyou scoffed, unconcerned by this strike; the slender hand that dangled by Zhao Changhe's face moved to slap him.

Behind him, the night twisted suddenly, and a Divine Sword emerged from nowhere, carrying a faint Tai Chi Illusion, attacking her from behind.

Yuxu!

This was an unexpected ally that even Zhao Changhe had not considered. It seems Yuxu, having reminded him of Jiuyou's presence, wouldn't just stand by, knowing Zhao Changhe couldn't handle it alone, and came to support!

And that wasn't all.

Jiuyou's hand about to slap Zhao Changhe was suddenly restrained by a mysterious Alien Power for an instant, barely moving a little, hanging just less than half an inch from Zhao Changhe's face, even letting him feel her breath.

The blind woman was meddling secretly.

Zhao Changhe, not being shy, puckered up, his lips just grazing that hand.

And while the scoundrel kissed her, his dominating palm strike also fiercely blasted into Jiuyou's abdomen!

As expected, this strike had virtually no effect, as if striking into the boundless Void, the power dissipating without a trace. The sword from Yuxu behind also reached Jiuyou's nape, Jiuyou gently deflecting it with one hand, the Tai Chi fading, Yuxu stepping back, and Zhao Changhe steadying themselves before and after, pinning Jiuyou in the middle.

Jiuyou took a deep breath, her first reaction not to look at Yuxu nor "Qin Jiu," but to glance at the place that had been kissed, her chest heaving in anger.

She hadn't realized where that restraining Alien Power had come from, assuming it was Qin Jiu's own technique. So you have this technique just to restrain my hand for a kiss? What a despicable man!

Zhao Changhe: "..."

It seems there's a misunderstanding. Or maybe not, it was his own lips that puckered, who told you to place your hand so close to my mouth!

Now that the terrifying pressure had somewhat eased, he could take a true look at Jiuyou's face, his mind previously consumed by her desolate eyes... Now, taking a closer look, it wasn't just a matter of resembling the vast Star River, her features even bore some resemblance to the blind woman.
