Seeing the two warriors charging at him, Ye Wushuang grasped the Taiyuan Spirit Sword, his gaze cold and fierce.
The Nan Gong family members had joined forces with those from the Qi family. This meant that the Wujie Alliance might have already established a deep cooperative relationship with the Spirit Sword Pavilion. In that case, within the Central Continent, the Qi family of Spirit Qi Mountain, the Yun family of Cloud Sky Mountain, and the Wujie Alliance in the west were all followers of the Spirit Sword Pavilion!
So why hadn’t the Yun family and the Wujie Alliance intervened when Xu Zi Yin, Xu Zi Yun, and Xu Ming Xiu had launched a massive attack on Shengtian Sect last time, aside from the Qi family?
Moreover, whether it was in the Qingzhou Continent or when Shengtian Sect had settled in the Central Continent, the highly esteemed elder Bu Baiyi from the Spirit Sword Pavilion had never made an appearance. This was quite strange! Back in the day, Bu Baiyi’s status within the Spirit Sword Pavilion was second only to Xu Zi Yin, Yin Shenghao, and Su Chenyang. Yet, up until now, this elder had never shown up, or perhaps… he was no longer on the Tianyuan Continent.
Furthermore, during the last assassination attempt, there had been other individuals at the Saintly Realm involved. The information he had received indicated that those two Saintly Realm beings were not from the Tianyuan Continent. Who could they be? What was the Spirit Sword Pavilion plotting?
However, there was no time for Ye Wushuang to ponder these questions now. Nan Gong Hao, at the late stage of the Plucking Star realm, joined forces with Qi Zhen to attack Tian Linzi.
Before long, Tian Linzi was in a dire situation, barely holding on. He could still withstand one late-stage opponent without risking his life, but what could he do against two?
Moreover, with the intervention of the more than ten Self-Delusion realm warriors brought by Nan Gong Hao, Mu Xu, Mu Qinghe, and Bao Qiuling were also completely on the defensive. Qi Zhen and Nan Gong Hao had brought over thirty people, including several at the Seventh Calamity of the Self-Delusion realm. Ye Wushuang’s group, on the other hand, consisted of only eleven people and could not possibly hold out.
“Master!” Li Xuan and the others were protecting Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe, saying, “We can’t fight them; we’ll cover your retreat first, Master and Miss!”
“I won’t retreat!” Mu Xu stubbornly replied, “Abandoning our companions now, what does that make us?”
Li Xuan’s face turned ugly as he said, “Ye Wushuang is not our companion. If we keep fighting, we’ll all die!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu remained silent but continued to fight fiercely.
However, at that moment, a Self-Delusion Seventh Calamity expert took advantage of the opening Mu Xu had created by forcing back an opponent and struck directly at Mu Xu’s back.
“Master, watch out!” Li Xuan shouted, trying to save him, but it was already too late.
Mu Xu also sensed the impending danger from behind, but there was no time to defend himself. The Self-Delusion Seventh Calamity expert, wielding a broad knife, thrust the blade straight into Mu Xu’s back.
*Pffft!!*
In an instant, a tearing sound of a body being split apart rang out. However, it was not Mu Xu who was injured, but the man holding the broad knife. He was still in the posture of charging forward, but his body was split in two, falling to the ground, dead.
Behind the man stood a figure. It was a woman, appearing to be in her mid-twenties, dressed in a light blue dress and draped in white gauze. She had a slender and well-proportioned figure, with eyes like almonds, making her an absolute beauty. Moreover, her makeup gave off an extremely intellectual vibe.
“Sister Siqi!” Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe immediately became ecstatic upon seeing the newcomer.
At the same time, through the blood mist, warriors clad in light silver soft armor, wielding spiritual weapons, charged out. There were more than twenty of them, the majority at the Self-Delusion realm, while the three leaders were at the Plucking Star realm.
Bai Siqi appeared and looked at Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe, asking, “What’s going on?”
Mu Xu hurriedly said, “Sister Siqi, there’s no time to explain. These guys are trying to kill us; we can’t let them get away with it.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Siqi glanced around and said, “I understand.”
In the next moment, Bai Siqi’s figure flickered, and she charged directly at Qi Zhen and Nan Gong Hao.
Originally, Tian Linzi had been on the verge of defeat, with his life hanging by a thread. However, with Bai Siqi’s arrival, Tian Linzi was able to catch his breath.
“Thank you!” Tian Linzi, looking pale, expressed his gratitude to Bai Siqi, who nodded in acknowledgment.
Nan Gong Hao and Qi Zhen gathered together, frowning at Bai Siqi’s sudden appearance. “Who are you people?” Qi Zhen snorted, “This is a matter between the Qi family, the Wujie Alliance, and the Shengtian Sect. You’d better stay out of it.”
“I’m not interested in interfering,” Bai Siqi replied calmly, “but you can’t harm my younger siblings.”
Younger siblings?
Nan Gong Hao furrowed his brows, looking at Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe, who were being protected nearby, and said, “We have no intention of making things difficult for them. You can take them away now.”
“As if that’s going to happen,” Bai Siqi’s tone remained unchanged as she directly charged forward with her sword.
Seeing this, Tian Linzi had no choice but to steel himself and continue fighting.
“A mere mid-stage Plucking Star realm warrior; do you really think you’re someone important?” Nan Gong Hao, noticing that Bai Siqi’s aura was weaker than his, immediately sneered and charged at her.
At this moment, with Bai Siqi’s arrival, accompanied by three Plucking Star realm warriors and more than ten Self-Delusion realm warriors, the tide of battle began to turn.
As for Nan Gong Qiao and Nan Gong Jun, who were attacking Ye Wushuang, one of them had to deal with the Plucking Star realm warrior from the Bai family.
Nan Gong Qiao remained to face Ye Wushuang.
However…
Ye Wushuang was just too troublesome.
When fighting Zhao Lang and Yu Dong, Ye Wushuang had not utilized his sword momentum. But against Nan Gong Qiao, who was at the early stage of the Plucking Star realm, Ye Wushuang unleashed his complete sword momentum, combined with the Four Symbols Earth Heart Flame, the Nine Heavens Mystical Fire Sword Technique, and the Seven Transcendence Saint Body Technique. Nan Gong Qiao, fighting against Ye Wushuang alone, was horrified to discover that the so-called suppression he had over Ye Wushuang seemed to be non-existent.
The Plucking Star realm was a stage where spiritual energy underwent a revolutionary transformation.
Nan Gong Qiao had fought many people at the peak of the Seventh Calamity of the Self-Delusion realm and was well aware of the suppression he could exert over those at the Self-Delusion realm.
But facing Ye Wushuang, Nan Gong Qiao did not feel the slightest bit that Ye Wushuang was inferior to him.
This was truly terrifying!
If Ye Wushuang, at the Fifth Calamity of the Self-Delusion realm, could match Nan Gong Qiao at the early stage of the Plucking Star realm, then… what would happen when Ye Wushuang reached the Sixth or Seventh Calamity?
“Nine Heavens, Nine Swords, United as One.”
Suddenly, a low roar echoed.
Ye Wushuang’s figure soared into the sky.
In an instant, the Four Symbols Earth Heart Flame was attached to the sword energy, roaring and charging forward.
A hundred-zhang-long sword energy, formed by streams of sword energy, surged towards Nan Gong Qiao.
Nan Gong Qiao’s face turned wary. With a wave of his hand, a torrent of spiritual energy within him condensed into a spiritual energy shield to block the sword.
Boom…
In that moment, the giant sword struck down, and a tremendous explosion erupted.
