These Fire Salamander Beasts came here to lay eggs, and after laying them, they stayed to watch over them.

As soon as any loud noise comes from outside, they immediately crawl out of the water to check the situation.

Qin Yi stood guard at the entrance of the water cave. As soon as he saw a Fire Salamander Beast appear, he would immediately stab down with his long sword.

Before the mission, everyone was equipped with weapons, and Qin Yi carried a sword on his back.

At this moment, the sharp sword was drawn with a clang and pierced the head of the Fire Salamander Beast.

However, this giant Fire Salamander Beast was indeed thick-skinned and tough, just like Xu Xinran's previous attack, the first strike couldn't penetrate its skin.

Its skin was like iron, and without enough strength, it was impossible to pierce through.

"Then there's no other way."

Since ordinary strength couldn't penetrate, Qin Yi had to use all his might.

Immediately, the full power of the Foundation Establishment Peak was injected into the long sword. With a squelch, the long sword, under the power of the Foundation Establishment Peak, became more than ten times sharper.

It pierced into the head of the Fire Salamander Beast like a knife through tofu.

"Die!"

The Fire Salamander Beast's brain was damaged, and its life ended.

Qin Yi immediately dragged its body, pulling the remaining half out of the water cave.

After he pulled out the first one, the second and third, smelling the blood in the water, became even more frenzied.

Qin Yi repeated his trick, using the power of the Foundation Establishment Peak, and struck again, killing two more with two strikes, consecutively slaying three Fire Salamander Beasts.

After killing the Fire Salamander Beasts, he followed the map's description, cut a knife at the back of the Fire Salamander Beast's neck, and pulled out a white spine.

Strangely, this spine was pulled out of the Fire Salamander Beast's body very smoothly, without any obstruction.

Earlier, he saw a total of four Fire Salamander Beasts, but after he killed three of them, the remaining one seemed to sense danger and lingered at the water cave entrance, baring its sharp teeth, not daring to show its head.

Seeing it wouldn't come out, Qin Yi didn't force it.

After all, his task required only three spinal bones, and now he had enough materials.

When he found Xu Xinran with these materials, Xu Xinran was squatting on a rock, smiling sweetly at him, "Husband, did you find it?"

The first time she called him husband, it was hard for her to say, but after saying it many times, she got used to it.

Qin Yi smiled and showed her the full water pouch, "Inside here, there's indeed Deep Shadow Water and Rhinoceros Horn Stone."

As the name suggests, Rhinoceros Horn Stone is a stone shaped like a rhinoceros horn.

It is formed by the condensation of stalactite water over thousands of years in this special place, unlike ordinary stalactites, it naturally carries a chill.

This thing is easier to find than Deep Shadow Water. Under the Ultimate Detection Technique, Qin Yi found many under a pile of rocks.

"So, can we leave now?" Xu Xinran looked at him with bright eyes.

When a woman gives her whole heart to a man, even just looking at him calmly, she feels warm and sweet inside.

Seeing her like this, Qin Yi sighed inwardly.

Such a good woman could only exist in this era.

In later generations, where could one find such an obedient and sensible woman?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pull the woman into his arms and gave her a fierce kiss, "Alright, let's go back now."

To go back, they couldn't return with Gu Yiyi. He could only send Xu Xinran out of the Nine-Turn Mountain Range from another direction.

Let her return alone to a small town closest to the Famous Sword Sect.

Once Qin Yi completed the task, he could find time to meet her.

And just when the two were caught up in the moment, suddenly footsteps echoed at the cave entrance.

Soon, a figure stopped ten meters away from them.

Hearing the sound, they looked over and saw a man staring at them angrily.

The man's build was strong, and at this moment, his eyes were almost bursting with rage.

"Slut... you bitch couple..."

The person was none other than Song Xianming.

Wasn't he not coming?

How did he find this place?

Seeing Song Xianming suddenly appear, Xu Xinran screamed in surprise, her delicate body trembling with fear.

Even though her heart belonged to Qin Yi, she was still nominally Song Xianming's Dao Companion, and being caught like this gave her a feeling of being caught in the act.

However, seeing that it was him, Qin Yi not only didn't let go of Xu Xinran but held her waist even tighter, giving her a fierce kiss on the lips.

Then, he pulled her behind him, "As you can see, the man Xinran loves is me, not you. If you know what's good for you, back off."

Song Xianming gritted his teeth, roaring in anger, his long sword clanging as it was drawn.

He had traveled a long way to find Qin Yi, intending to teach him a lesson.

But unexpectedly, upon finding Qin Yi, he discovered his woman being held and kissed by him.

What kind of relationship was this? It was self-evident.

One must know that after Xu Xinran confirmed her Dao Companion relationship with him, even he hadn't been this intimate with her.

Since ancient times, there have been four great irreconcilable hatreds.

They are the hatred of a fallen country, the hatred of exterminated family, the hatred of a murdered father, and the hatred of a stolen wife.

As a man, if faced with the hatred of a murdered father, one might say ten years is not too late.

But the hatred of a stolen wife, how could it wait overnight?

"Adulterous couple, die!"

Seeing Song Xianming charging in fury, Xu Xinran's pretty face turned pale.

She clutched Qin Yi's clothes, feeling a wave of despair.

Why despair?

Because she hadn't recovered much spiritual power, and Qin Yi had also said he didn't have much left.

With both of them lacking spiritual power, how could they resist Song Xianming's attack?

"Xinran, could you give me some strength?"

Qin Yi suddenly asked her softly.

Strength?

How do I give it?

Xu Xinran looked at him, bewildered.

"Kiss me, maybe it'll help me recover some strength to protect myself," Qin Yi said.

A kiss?

Would that work?

Though unsure if it would be effective, a woman in love doesn't think too deeply.

Moreover, in such an urgent situation, Xu Xinran didn't ponder much and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek.

Her action was like adding fuel to the fire.

Seeing this, Song Xianming was so angry he could explode.

His sword technique erupted, and for a moment, sand and stones flew around.

[Xuanji Sword Technique]!

Inner Xuan, outer Ji, a layer of blue Sword Qi like a water dragon accompanied his sword shadow, closing in on Qin Yi.

And Qin Yi, with Xu Xinran's kiss as an excuse, unleashed his Foundation Establishment Peak power.

Clang!

His long sword was suddenly drawn, stirring in front of him, and nine Flaming Sword Qi soared into the sky, striking towards the opponent.

[Heavenly Secret Sword Technique]!

Since ancient times, water and fire are incompatible, water and fire restrain each other.

Since Song Xianming used the Xuanji Sword Technique, he would use the Heavenly Secret Sword Technique!
