The monster let out a deafening roar, and swung its huge claws down suddenly, bringing with it a gust of wind, and rushed straight towards the woman. The woman jumped lightly, avoiding the monster's attack, and then turned her hand and stabbed the monster's eyes with a sword. The sword light was as fast as lightning, precise and swift.

The monster seemed to be prepared. It tilted its head and the long sword slashed past its eye, splashing a string of sparks. The monster roared and swung its tail violently. The woman was caught off guard and was hit by the huge force. She flew out and fell heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

Qin Mu was shocked when he saw this. He could see that the woman was quite powerful, but she was still no match for the monster. The monster attacked again, with its huge claws raised high, slashing down towards the woman's head. At the critical moment of life and death, Qin Mu no longer hesitated, and immediately mobilized the sub-biological engine, rushing towards the battlefield like lightning.

Just as the monster's claws were about to fall, Qin Mu quickly summoned the sub-biological engine, and a blue light streaked across the sky, forming an energy shield that blocked the woman's head. The monster's claws hit the shield, making a deafening roar. The shield shook violently, but it was still as solid as before.

The woman looked up and saw a strange man appear in front of her, controlling a blue light with his hands, blocking all the attacks of the monster. She was startled and quickly stood up and stepped back a few steps to get out of the attack range of the monster.

Seeing that its attack was blocked, the monster roared angrily. Its eyes flashed red, and its huge mouth opened, suddenly spewing out a stream of flames, rushing straight towards Qin Mu. Qin Mu's eyes focused, and he quickly increased the energy output of the sub-biological engine. The shield instantly became more dazzling, and the flames hit the shield, like water splashing against rocks, scattering in all directions.

The woman was shocked to see Qin Mu easily resolve the monster's attack. She knew that the stranger in front of her was no ordinary person, so she stopped hesitating and tightened her sword again, ready to join forces with Qin Mu to fight the monster.

"Thank you for your help!" the woman whispered, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

Qin Mu nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the monster. He saw that the monster's scales were indestructible, so he said to the woman, "Its scales are extremely defensive, we need to find its weakness."

Hearing this, the woman's eyes swept over the monster's body. After a moment, she whispered, "Its belly scales are thinner. We can start from there."

Qin Mu nodded, signaling the woman to prepare for the attack. At the same time, he secretly controlled the sub-biological engine and gathered the energy on his right hand. The woman understood, and the two quickly separated, each looking for an opportunity.

When the monster saw the two people separated, the red light in its eyes became more intense. It focused its attention on the woman, thinking that she was an easier target. The monster suddenly pounced on the woman, and its huge claws brought a strong wind, stirring up dust and gravel on the ground.

The woman dodged the monster's attack with a flick of her toes, then used the force to soar into the air and thrust her sword straight into the monster's abdomen. The sword shone like a rainbow, piercing the thin scales with precision.

However, just when she was about to succeed, the monster suddenly twisted its body and swept out with its huge tail, forcing the woman to withdraw her sword for defense. Qin Mu saw this and seized the moment, using the power of the sub-biological engine to quickly dodge to the monster's flank.

"Now!" Qin Mu shouted in a low voice, and suddenly pushed out his right hand. A strong blue beam shot out from the secondary biological engine and hit the belly of the monster directly.

The beam hit the monster's abdomen accurately, and the scales were instantly pierced, revealing the bloody wound inside. The monster let out a tragic roar, its body trembled violently, and blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain.

The woman seized the opportunity, her figure swept past like the wind, and stabbed out with the long sword again. This time, the sword tip sank into the monster's wound without any hindrance. The sword blade pierced the monster's internal organs, bringing out a scarlet blood mist.

The monster was in unbearable pain and struggled madly. Its huge body rolled on the ground, stirring up a large amount of dust. Qin Mu and the woman quickly retreated to avoid the monster's final struggle. After a few seconds, the monster's body gradually stiffened, and finally let out a low wail, fell to the ground, and could no longer move.

The battle was over, and the hillside was silent. The woman panted slightly, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and stuck her sword into the ground to support herself. Qin Mu walked forward, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Your swordsmanship just now was excellent." Qin Mu said in a calm and gentle voice.

The woman looked up at Qin Mu with mixed emotions in her eyes. She said gratefully, "Thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I would have died in the mouth of this beast."

Qin Mu smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be polite. It is natural to help those who are injustice."

The woman nodded slightly and introduced herself: "My name is Bai Ruoxue, and I am a descendant of a family that has lived in this mountain for generations. This time I came here to destroy this demon beast and protect the villagers in the mountain."

Qin Mu nodded to show his understanding, and he had a little more respect for the woman named Bai Ruoxue. She challenged such a powerful monster alone, which obviously showed her extraordinary courage and determination.

"Qin Mu." Qin Mu simply introduced himself, and the atmosphere between the two became slightly relaxed.

Bai Ruoxue glanced at the body of the demon beast and said softly, "This demon beast has been wreaking havoc in this mountain for many days, and the villagers are suffering. My father has organized hunters to encircle and suppress it many times, but always returned in vain. Today, we finally killed it, which can be regarded as fulfilling the family's mission."

Qin Mu nodded slightly to show his understanding. He knew that although the battle was over, Bai Ruoxue obviously still had a lot of things to deal with.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Qin Mu said, turning around and preparing to leave.

However, Bai Ruoxue said quickly: "Mr. Qin, if it weren't for you, I would not have escaped this disaster today. I wonder if I could invite you to my home for a chat, so that I can show my hospitality as a token of my gratitude?"

Qin Mu heard Bai Ruoxue's invitation, thought for a moment, and agreed to go with her to her sect. Along the way, Bai Ruoxue introduced her sect to Qin Mu - the Frost Sect. This sect is located deep in the barren mountains, and is famous for its swordsmanship and ice-attributed spells. Most of the disciples in the sect are known for their coldness and arrogance. Bai Ruoxue is the daughter of the sect master and is highly valued by the sect. Therefore, the sect did not know that she challenged the monster alone.

The two of them passed through the jungle of the barren mountain and finally came to a hidden valley. In the valley, the Frost Sect's sect looked very imposing, with ice-blue palaces stacked up in the mountains, and a faint chill filled the air. Bai Ruoxue led Qin Mu up the stone steps, passed through several tall arches, and entered the sect's square.

As soon as they entered the square, several disciples in ice-blue robes came towards them. When they saw Bai Ruoxue, they immediately showed respect, but when they turned their eyes to Qin Mu, their expressions became cold. They were obviously confused about this stranger, and even showed a bit of contempt.

One of the disciples who looked a little older stepped forward, bowed to Bai Ruoxue and said, "Junior Sister Bai, why did you bring an outsider back? If the sect master knew about this, I'm afraid he wouldn't be happy, right?"

Bai Ruoxue responded calmly: "This is Master Qin. He helped me kill the monster in the mountain today. To express my gratitude, I specially invited him to be a guest of the sect."

The disciple frowned slightly, glanced at Qin Mu, and said with some disdain: "Oh? You are just a mortal, and you dare to participate in the extermination of monsters? I am afraid you took the opportunity to pick up some benefits?"

Qin Mu's expression remained unchanged, but he already understood in his heart that these disciples regarded him as an ordinary outsider and therefore had no respect for him at all.

Bai Ruoxue frowned slightly when she heard this, and a hint of displeasure was revealed in her tone: "Mr. Qin is not an ordinary person. If it weren't for him, I would not be able to come back alive today. It's a bit rude for you to talk like this."

The disciple was obviously dissatisfied with Bai Ruoxue's protection, but due to her status, she could only say coldly: "In that case, please do as you please. However, you will go and explain to the sect master yourself, we will not bear this responsibility."

After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned away with several disciples behind him. Seeing this, Qin Mu secretly lamented the arrogance of these disciples, but did not take it to heart. He continued to move forward with Bai Ruoxue, and the disciples passing by cast cold glances at him, obviously having no good feelings towards him as an outsider.

Arriving in front of the main hall of the sect, Bai Ruoxue stopped and said to Qin Mu, "Mr. Qin, my father should be in the hall. I will go in and report first. Please wait for a moment."

Qin Mu nodded to show his understanding and stood quietly in front of the hall waiting. After a while, Bai Ruoxue came out of the hall and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, please come in."

Qin Mu stepped into the main hall. The hall was decorated solemnly and filled with chill. Sitting on the high seat in the center was a dignified middle-aged man with a stern face. He was the leader of the Frost Sect, Bai Shuang. His eyes swept over Qin Mu like a cold blade, with scrutiny and suspicion.

Bai Ruoxue briefly introduced Qin Mu's background and help to her father, but Bai Shuang did not show much gratitude after listening. He said coldly: "Mr. Qin, thank you for saving my daughter, but my Hanshuang Sect is a place for cultivating immortals, and ordinary mortals should not stay for long."

Qin Mu remained calm when he heard this, but he had expected Bai Shuang's cold attitude. He replied calmly, "Master, you are too polite. I have no intention of staying here for long. I just happened to meet Miss Bai when I was passing by here, so I just did something brave to help her."

Bai Shuang nodded, still with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "Mr. Qin is brave enough to do what is right, which is rare, but our Han Shuang Sect has rules and it is inconvenient to entertain outsiders. If you have nothing else to do, go down the mountain early and don't waste time."

Qin Mu smiled slightly and bowed to Bai Shuang: "Master, what you said makes sense. I don't want to disturb the quiet place of the Frost Sect. In this case, I will take my leave now."

Bai Ruoxue saw Qin Mu was about to leave, and she was reluctant to let him go. She said quickly, "Mr. Qin, if you don't mind, please let me take you there."

Qin Mu nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Bai."

The two walked out of the main hall, and Bai Ruoxue led Qin Mu down the stone steps of the sect. Along the way, Bai Ruoxue's face was always full of apology. She said softly: "Mr. Qin, I am sorry for what happened today. I apologize to you on behalf of the disciples of the Frost Sect."
