### Chapter 77: I Definitely Will Save You!
The Exploding Scroll is indeed one of the most popular magical treasures in the Cultivation World.
Simple, practical, portable, affordable, and powerful—it’s a must-have for both travel and daily life! When Yun Zhonghe bought twenty of these at the marketplace back then.
Yun Zhonghe’s movements were as smooth as flowing water. He consecutively tossed out activated Exploding Scrolls, with flames like fiery dragons ravaging everything before him, turning the surrounding small spider horde to ashes!
This crowd-clearing capability sure is something else!
“d*mn! d*mn! d*mn!”
The Spider Woman was enraged. Her hair had been burnt off quite a bit.
She thought she could easily handle Yun Zhonghe, but she hadn’t expected him to have such weird tactics up his sleeve.
After all, since the beginning, Yun Zhonghe wasn’t planning on getting in a straight-up fight with her.
Come on, they were a big Realm apart! And he wasn’t even the main character, so how could he casually defeat enemies from a higher stage?
Only the main character has the right to go berserk and cheat. As a humble “yellow-haired villain,” he had to be careful and steady.
With the troublesome spider horde finally cleared, Yun Zhonghe made his way towards the light cocoon.
But before he could get close, the angry Spider Woman shot two magical spells at him.
Yun Zhonghe quickly waved his sword, activating the Infinity Sword Technique, which repelled the magical spells back onto a stone sculpture behind him.
Boom!
The sculpture shattered into pieces!
“Brother Yun…”
Mu Jixue and Xiao Hu, hiding in the shadows, couldn’t help but worry for Yun Zhonghe.
If either of those spells had landed on him, it would have spelled certain doom.
A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator doesn’t have much resistance to magic—and even a single Exploding Scroll can cause serious damage. Let alone an attack from a Golden Core stage demon cultivator.
Both were still shaken by the intense battle.
They could only thank their lucky stars that Yun Zhonghe has this defensive type sword technique called Infinite Sword Technique. He’s the only one who can directly oppose the Spider Woman in combat—no one else stands a chance!
“Yun Zhonghe, please don’t d*e!”
Mu Jixue secretly prayed for Yun Zhonghe and also resolved to do her best in her mission, waiting for the perfect moment to k*ll the Spider Woman.
Although they didn’t get along well, at that moment, they found common ground in their hearts.
“Yun Brother, I won’t let you down.”
“What kind of sword technique is this?!”
Yun Zhonghe’s Infinity Sword Technique kept deflecting the Spider Woman’s spells, making her grind her teeth in frustration.
She’d never heard of such a frustrating sword technique before.
And this sword technique seemed to be high quality, requiring a lot of spiritual energy. Yet Yun Zhonghe didn’t seem to strain himself at all and performed it flawlessly without any gaps or cool downs. It’s like his defense was impenetrable!
“Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!”
First, Qin Hongye’s protective magical treasure light cocoon was invincible, and now Yun Zhonghe’s Infinity Sword Technique was equally impossible to break through, leaving the Spider Woman feeling utterly frustrated.
Looks like it’s time to use her trump card…
“Huh?”
However, as the Spider Woman prepared to unleash her ultimate move, her expression suddenly changed when she felt numbness starting to take hold.
She couldn’t gather enough spiritual energy to perform her powerful spell.
Could it be… a paralyzing potion?!
The Spider Woman was shocked and suddenly understood: “Did you poison the sword?!”
Yes, the previous cut by Yun Zhonghe seemed like a failed attack, but it achieved its real aim.
In the inn, he had subtly tampered with the golden sword, adding a paralysis enchantment—although it couldn’t completely immobilize a Golden Core stage demon cultivator, it could definitely limit her from performing her grand attacks.
Despite the fact that the Infinity Sword Technique was only at the high upper realm level, it could barely block regular attacks from Golden Core demons, but it couldn’t withstand her ultimate move.
Don’t underestimate the depth of a “yellow-haired villain.” For survival, his plans are countless.
Another Exploding Scroll was thrown out, hitting right in the Spider Woman’s face, while Yun Zhonghe stealthily approached the light cocoon, hoping to save Qin Hongye.
Her magical treasure should be nearing its limit, and Yun Zhonghe surmised that Qin Hongye might have almost depleted her spiritual energy. She was as weak as an ordinary person, and if her magical barrier failed mid-battle, she’d be swept away by the aftermath.
“Miss Qin, are you okay?”
Yun Zhonghe moved closer to the light cocoon and shouted.
“Is that you?!”
Qin Hongye inside the cocoon recognized Yun Zhonghe’s voice.
At this moment, the Spider Woman, realizing Yun Zhonghe was approaching the cocoon, held nothing back and even used up all her accumulated vitality.
Even if she couldn’t perform her ultimate move, a regular attack was enough to crush this sneaky little ant!
Besides, Qin Hongye was an incredibly valuable source of vitality—she absolutely couldn’t let Yun Zhonghe snatch her away.
She refused to believe that a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could be more resilient than a Golden Core stage.
While conversing, Yun Zhonghe’s swordplay showed no hesitation. Good thing he practiced diligently every day, mastering his swordplay thoroughly, so his actions and techniques were second nature to him, allowing him to multitask effortlessly.
Golden spiritual energy shield resisted fiercely against the Spider Woman’s retaliatory spells.
“Are you brain-dead? A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator rushing here to d*e?”
Qin Hongye could feel the intensity of the battle outside the cocoon, truly irritated.
Even though she was trapped, she didn’t want others risking their lives to save her.
Maybe it was because her parents were leaders in the righteous path, Qin Hongye didn’t say it out loud, but she had the strongest sense of collective honor.
Even if she appeared arrogant and conceited as a sect lady with a bit of a lovey-dovey side, she undeniably possessed a deep sense of integrity.
Getting scolded, Yun Zhonghe felt a bit annoyed.
Even if he rescued her, he doubted it would gain her much goodwill…
Whatever. Every bit helps.
“Miss Qin, can you come out? There are two of my companions on the other side; I’ll escort you to safety.”
Yun Zhonghe stepped forward primarily to rescue Qin Hongye first. Otherwise, he could wait until the Spider Woman weakened further.
After all, the light cocoon couldn’t hold out much longer, and failing to act soon meant he’d only be able to recover her remains later.
“No, this light cocoon is passively defending, and I can’t open it unless it’s broken from the outside.”
Using his free hand, Yun Zhonghe tried to smash the cocoon but failed. His Exploding Scrolls were all used up, and the only way left is to use sword techniques.
But Yun Zhonghe still needs to deal with the Spider Woman’s spell bombardments.
He looked up at the moon, which was yet to reach the middle of the sky.
Looks like they would have to endure.
“Miss Qin, rest assured, I’ll definitely save you!”
Yun Zhonghe held his sword and narrowed his eyes, a sharp and chilly aura emanating from his body.
For his future, no matter what, he will save her!
Qin Hongye, looking at the blurry figure outside the cocoon, felt a strange emotion stirring within her.
He actually risked his life for me to this extent!

**Dedication**
Hello everyone, I am Mr. Babble.
The book *Yellow-haired Villain* goes live today, and I’m incredibly excited. Who would’ve thought this rookie writer could debut alongside many seasoned authors? I’m excited and honored.
I know I lack literary talent and finesse, after all, being a science major, my essays rarely go above average. Frankly speaking, I don’t place much hope in my writing ability; calling myself “Mr. Babble” is a self-deprecating way to describe it.
So, when some readers criticize my work, I can accept it with humility. Seeing myself clearly and maintaining a positive attitude are lessons learned from writing, which are difficult to acquire elsewhere.
Therefore, when this crude work attracts so many dedicated readers and gets published, my joy and sense of fulfillment are beyond words. My life feels meaningful because of you.
Thus, I am eternally grateful to those who support me. Your encouragement gives me the drive to keep going and achieve my dream of transforming from a lover of books into an author.
I love you all!
Without fancy writing or unique themes, all I can offer is a straightforward presentation of what I consider the best plot. Please continue to follow me and complete this ordinary story with me. Just like our lives, even if there’s no thrill, just existing is already extraordinary.
I promise to finish this book, not only for my readers but also to fulfill my own dream. So, you can read it without fear of it disappearing abruptly.
Tonight at midnight, ten chapters will be released together.
Publication is not the end, but merely a new beginning. Let us set sail for new goals.
Thank you, dear readers, once again. Love you all!
