While Lin Yue'er's heart ached with extreme pain and unwillingness, she finally tore off her mask of a docile and cute appearance, revealing a sliver of her hidden essence.
...
Looking at Lin Yue'er, who had suddenly become incredibly feisty and agitated, jumping around.
Wu Tao's expression was blank. Holding the saber in his left hand, he lightly slashed his right wrist. A large amount of blood flowed onto the blade of the Immortal Slaying Demon Blood Saber.
At this moment, the veins on Wu Tao's hand bulged.
He gripped it so tightly as if he wanted to merge the saber into his body.
With a pale, bloodless face, he coldly stared at the one-horned water-cold flood dragon.
A thick, heavy blood-red light flashed past, and the saber energy on the Immortal Slaying Demon Blood Saber became even more ferocious.
The saber in Wu Tao's hand seemed like a blade of death, filled with boundless demonic energy.
The magnificent saber light was like a curtain of blades.
Saber energy crisscrossed, unparalleled in the world.
It was determined to break through the haze before him, the lost mist, and carve a path of light in despair. Such a beautiful saber, like a bright moon, when it fell, it was as if the moon had plummeted.
It brought not death, but a cold, clear radiance. It was a pity that the moon's radiance was originally the saber's radiance.
The demon saber was a凶器 (xiongqi - weapon of evil), no matter how dazzling or beautiful, it would ultimately bring death and despair.
The saber light, ten zhang long, like a collapsing heaven and earth, descended from the sky.
It landed squarely on the head of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon, erupting with a world-shattering roar.
The dazzling saber light instantly illuminated the entire small island in the lake, but it quickly dimmed and returned to normal.
At this time, the head of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon had been chopped to pieces by the Immortal Slaying Demon Blood Saber. Its two dragon eyes had completely burst from their sockets and were sent flying to who knows where. Blood was constantly seeping from various parts of its fifty-zhang-long body.
This one-horned water-cold flood dragon looked utterly miserable!
Seeing this, Lin Yue'er was overjoyed. She quickly fumbled in her storage bag, took out a small crystal bottle, muttered to the bottle, and then pointed her jade hand at the one-horned water-cold flood dragon.
In the next second, several wisps of black ghost energy shot out from the bottle's opening, eerily coiling around the one-horned water-cold flood dragon's body.
After a while, a small blue dragon that looked exactly like the one-horned water-cold flood dragon was forcefully extracted from the latter's body by the black ghost energy.
Although its soul struggled desperately, it was gradually pulled into the small bottle.
After Lin Yue'er sealed the bottle and carefully examined the miniature soul of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon within, her mood immediately improved. She could no longer hide the smile on her face, and her entire being radiated joy.

After laughing for a while, Lin Yue'er's expressive autumn eyes glanced at the body of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon, which was now completely lifeless.
Standing in place, she began to ponder.
Meanwhile, as soon as Wu Tao saw Lin Yue'er take out the bottle, he guessed that this demonic woman intended to take the soul of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon.
As expected, Lin Yue'er did indeed collect the soul of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon.
However, Wu Tao did not expect Lin Yue'er to be so greedy and now set her sights on the body of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon.
...
Lin Yue'er glanced at Wu Tao, who was beside her, extremely weak and with a pale, bloodless face.
Then, with a hint of greed, she took out a small magic knife engraved with runes from her storage bag. Without a word, she forcefully slashed the rune-engraved magic knife into the body of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon.
With a "thud," the magic knife sank three inches into the body of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon. Although it didn't penetrate deeply, it had finally breached the dragon's defenses.
This caused Wu Tao, who had been observing from the side, to suddenly narrow his pupils.
Immediately after, Lin Yue'er unceremoniously swung the magic knife, aiming at the dragon's body, and began to hack away.
She paid no attention to her originally preserved maidenly image, nor did she care about the blood splashing onto her dress. In the blink of an eye, she had disemboweled and skinned the one-horned water-cold flood dragon.
After extracting the dragon's inner core and placing it in a jade box, Lin Yue'er intended to put the body of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon into her storage bag and claim it as her own.
However, Lin Yue'er, who had been maintaining a vigilant attitude, suddenly sensed a strong killing intent at this moment.
Lin Yue'er turned her head and glanced at Wu Tao, who was stroking the blade of the Immortal Slaying Demon Blood Saber with an extremely grim expression.
Lin Yue'er hesitated for a moment before sticking out her pink tongue at Wu Tao. Finally, she gave up the extremely tempting carcass of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon.
"Since I've taken the dragon's soul and inner core, I'll leave its body to Senior Brother. After all, this one-horned water-cold flood dragon was killed by our combined efforts!" Lin Yue'er said with an evil, charming smile, then gave Wu Tao a seductive glance, appearing to be very generous.
Hearing this, Wu Tao looked at Lin Yue'er, who was smiling, then looked down at the flesh of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon. He felt a wave of frustration and inwardly grumbled.
"Easy for you to say, you cunning and greedy demonic woman. If I hadn't put on a brave front, would you have so easily given me the body of the one-horned water-cold flood dragon? Moreover, you already took the most valuable soul and inner core!"
...
After another round of bickering, Wu Tao and Lin Yue'er each took more than ten spiritual herbs and a few good spiritual materials before parting ways.
They each went to different places.
Now, thinking about it carefully, there was really not much time to waste.
...
Finding a quiet and safe place, after continuously taking various pills to restore vital energy and blood, and after a full day of recuperation, the pallor on Wu Tao's face finally improved considerably.
...
Zitan Perfume Hills.
The Zitan Perfume Hills were filled with Zitan perfume flowers.
The flowers were vying to bloom, competing in beauty.
The fragrance of Zitan perfume flowers could be smelled from afar. Looking out, the mountains were covered with flowers in full bloom, a sea of purple beauty, truly breathtaking.
...
At this moment, Wu Tao encountered a woman he would never forget or be able to let go of in his life.
In this sea of flowers, at a certain intersection, his path was blocked by a lively and adorable girl overflowing with enthusiasm.
This girl, who embodied both cuteness and passion, was very familiar to Wu Tao. Her name was Xu Sheng, a renowned female martial arts fanatic among the outer disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
She was also the person Wu Tao least wanted to encounter in this secret realm.
This was because Xu Sheng was a very special girl. She hadn't come to this perilous secret realm for resources and benefits needed for cultivation, nor for future power and status.
This pure girl, like a martial arts fanatic, had risked coming here solely to find a suitable opponent.
However, Wu Tao did not want to engage in a pointless battle.
"Heh heh, Junior Sister Xu, there isn't much time left before the Yellow Extreme Taiyi Secret Realm closes. Why don't you let your Senior Brother off the hook?"
"You take your sunny road, and I'll take my single-plank bridge. We won't interfere with each other, wouldn't that be beneficial for both of us and avoid any unpleasantness!"
Wu Tao stood in place, hesitating for a moment. Still holding onto the hope of avoiding a fight, he spoke in a calm and smiling tone, trying to persuade her.
After all, in the absence of any conflict of interest, engaging in a fight with a "master" for no reason, with the potential risk to one's life, was indeed not a wise thing to do.
However, Wu Tao never expected that the girl Xu Sheng opposite him would completely ignore his words. Instead, she became even more interested, staring intently at his entire body with great amusement.
Her behavior made Wu Tao feel a little annoyed.
He suppressed his displeasure and was about to say something more when the girl Xu Sheng suddenly spoke, and her words stunned Wu Tao on the spot.
"I've long heard that Senior Brother Wu Tao has cultivated the Nine Techniques of Dragon-Tiger Yuan Gang to the peak of perfection. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true! Am I right?"
The girl Xu Sheng, who embodied both cuteness and passion, her eyes shone with brilliance, and she spoke slowly. Her own aura suddenly surged, and her fighting spirit was astonishing!
Hearing this, Wu Tao blinked his eyes and sighed faintly. At this moment, he knew that this battle could no longer be avoided.
However, he still made a last-ditch effort with his words: "Junior Sister, what you said is not wrong. My body-tempering techniques are indeed extraordinary, but we are fellow disciples, and..."
"Enough! That's all I need to know. Senior Brother, I'll make the first move. You must give it your all, otherwise, don't blame me if you die. Xu Sheng said with an expression of fervent excitement, uttering words that left Wu Tao dumbfounded!
