Junior sister slandered me, the Drunken Swordsman, I cut through the gate of heaven with one sword

The giant wolf was extremely agile and dodged the sword energy easily. It then pounced towards Ye Qian'an again. Its sharp claws flashed coldly in the sunlight, as if it could tear everything apart.

At the same time, the giant python twisted its huge body and wrapped around Ye Qiyan from the side, opening its mouth wide, trying to swallow Ye Qiyan in one bite.

Seeing this, Liu Mei's heart tightened, but she couldn't bear to see Ye Qian'an face the danger alone. She quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted a complicated spell. Suddenly, stone pillars rose from the ground around them and rushed towards the monsters, temporarily blocking their attack.

"Go away now, don't be so stubborn, I don't want to lose my life because of you."

Liu Mei shouted at Ye Qian'an, but there was not much blame in her words, instead there was a hint of concern.

Ye Qian'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will protect you today and take you back to see your father."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qian'an took the initiative to rush towards those monsters, waving the sword in his hand tightly. Each sword contained powerful spiritual power, and started a melee with those monsters.

Liu Mei looked at Ye Qian'an's brave back and felt mixed emotions. She had never thought that an outsider would be so desperate to take her away from here, and even risk his life.

She gritted her teeth and no longer hesitated, exerting all her strength to exert the power of the formation. Runes flashed around her, some turned into sharp blades to attack the monsters, and some formed shields to protect Ye Qian'an. The two began to cooperate tacitly, and fought with the group of monsters to a standstill.

In the fierce battle, Ye Qian'an found the right opportunity and used several powerful sword skills in succession, first seriously injuring the giant fire wolf, causing it to fall to the ground screaming and losing the strength to fight again.

Then he and Liu Mei worked together to trap the giant python and severely injured it. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other monsters began to retreat and did not dare to move forward easily.

Ye Qianan turned around, looked at Liu Mei and said, "Girl, you see, as long as we work together, these dangers are not invincible. The outside world is the same. There are difficulties but also warmth. Are you really not considering going back with me?"

Liu Mei narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at the unrestrained Ye Qian'an in front of her. She was silent for a long time, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and she slowly said: "Let me think about it again..."

Seeing Liu Mei's response, Ye Qian'an knew that he couldn't push her too hard, so he nodded and said, "Okay, young lady, take your time to think about it. I'll stay here with you, but this place is full of dangers. Let's find a relatively safe place to rest for a while."

Liu Mei hummed softly, and then led Ye Qian'an towards the depths of the valley. Along the way, the two of them did not say anything more, but just walked forward silently, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.

Not long after, they came to a mountain wall. Liu Mei raised her hand and tapped the mountain wall a few times. Surprisingly, a stone door slowly appeared. When it was opened, there was a rather spacious cave inside. The layout of the cave was simple but tidy. On the stone table were some books and manuscripts related to the formation.

"This is where I usually study formations. Those monsters dare not approach for the time being. You can rest here for a while and heal your wounds."

Liu Mei said softly, then took out some healing pills from the stone cabinet beside her and handed them to Ye Qian'an.

The monsters here were all set up by her using formations. Because of problems with the formations, the monsters here became brutal and would even attack her.

Ye Qian'an took the pill, thanked Liu Mei and swallowed it, then began to circulate his spiritual power to heal his wounds.

Liu Mei sat aside, chin supported by her hand, seemingly pondering whether or not to leave with Ye Qian'an, her eyes full of conflict.

After a while, Ye Qian'an's injuries had mostly healed. He stood up, stretched his muscles, looked at Liu Mei and said, "Miss, I know you have some concerns about the outside world, but your father's concern for you over the years is real. What he hopes most now is to be reunited with you and make up for the regrets of the past." Liu Mei sighed slightly, raised her eyes and said, "The quarrel back then was too intense. I still remember those hurtful words. I'm afraid that after I go back, everything will return to the way it was before, and I will still be trapped in those trivial things that I don't like."

Ye Qian'an walked up to Liu Mei and said seriously, "People always change, girl. After so many years, I'm sure your father regrets his stubbornness. Doesn't the fact that he went through so much trouble to find you this time just prove his feelings?"

Liu Mei felt ripples in her heart as she listened to Ye Qian'an's words. In fact, she missed her father too, but the shadow of the past always shrouded her, making her dare not take that step.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the cave, as if something heavy was hitting the ground, and the whole cave began to tremble slightly.

Liu Mei's face changed and she hurried out of the cave to check the situation.

I saw that a larger beast appeared in the valley at some point. It looked like a Qilin and was surrounded by black lightning. Every step it took left charred footprints on the ground. Its powerful aura was frightening.

"This is the guardian beast king deep in this secret realm. How did he get here? This is going to be a big trouble."

Liu Mei frowned and looked worried.

Ye Qian'an clenched the sword in his hand, his expression solemn but without the slightest intention of retreating, he said: "Don't be afraid, young lady, leave this monster to me."

The beast king seemed to have sensed the provocation of Ye Qian'an and Liu Mei. He roared to the sky, and the black lightning on his body instantly shot towards them at a speed as fast as lightning.

Ye Qian'an snorted coldly and swung his sword to cut out a powerful sword energy, facing the black lightning. The two collided with each other, bursting out with dazzling light and violent roar, and the powerful impact force uprooted the surrounding trees.

Liu Mei did not dare to delay either. She quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted an ancient spell. The space around her began to distort, and illusory formation patterns emerged, trying to trap the Beast King.

Upon seeing this, the Beast King stomped his feet violently, and the power of thunder and lightning on his body became even stronger. He directly broke through part of the formation set up by Liu Mei and continued to rush towards them.

The bloody mouth opened and spewed out a black flame. Wherever the flame passed, even the air was burned and distorted.

Ye Qian'an hurriedly pulled Liu Mei and dodged the attack of the fire, but the fire was still powerful and burned towards the direction of the cave, instantly burning the stone door of the cave red and it was about to collapse.

"This beast king is too powerful. We won't be able to hold out for much longer if this continues."

Liu Mei said anxiously.

The beast king's cultivation is at least at the mid-stage of Saint. With their strength, it is difficult to kill it.
