The humanoid monster noticed something amiss with the Qing Mang in Ye Qing's hand and immediately tried to retreat. However, it was ultimately a step too slow. Ye Qing's slash, while not severing its arm, still carved a gash on its shoulder, and black blood spurted out instantly. The humanoid monster, in pain, released Yelu Ying from its grip, covered its shoulder wound with one hand, and turned, howling mournfully as it ran deeper into the cave.
Ye Qing let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly went over to help Yelu Ying up. She was alright apart from some abrasions on her body and didn't suffer any other injuries.
After this crisis, Yelu Ying was nearly on the brink of collapse and immediately threw herself into Ye Qing's arms, crying bitterly. After all, she was just a girl and had never encountered such a situation before; it was already quite difficult for her to hold on until now.
