Chapter 995: You Cannot Touch My People!
Huang Jian spoke with a strong and resounding voice, staring coldly at Yang Baikun.
He had completely thrown caution to the wind. He felt that he was as good as dead today, so he might as well speak his mind freely.
“It was Yang Chuan’s arrogance and foolishness that led him to ignore my advice and provoke Su Yi. His death was entirely his own fault, and he can blame no one else.”
Huang Jian knew that if he hadn’t been useful to Su Yi, he would have died alongside Yang Chuan.
Now, following Su Yi and joining the Overlord Sect, even though it had only been a short time, Huang Jian already considered himself the sect’s top protector.
He had gained so many benefits from Su Yi that Yang Baikun’s empty promises couldn’t compare!
Huang Jian had no regrets. Even if he died at the hands of the Golden Sword Sect today, he could only blame his bad luck.
In the end, he was deceived by Yang Chuan! If he hadn’t died by Su Yi’s hands, he would inevitably have ended up in the hands of the Golden Sword Sect.
“You, Huang Jian!”
Yang Baikun spoke in a deep tone, staring at Huang Jian.
“Tell me, who killed my son?!”
He clenched his teeth tightly, wanting to know the truth more than anything at this moment.
However, Huang Jian ignored him and simply let out a soft grunt, showing his disdain.
“Very good!”
Huang Jian’s silence made Yang Baikun’s expression even fiercer. His features twisted together, and his face turned red as blood rushed through his veins!
He knew that what Huang Jian said was true—Yang Chuan was indeed reckless and arrogant.
But what did that matter?
Yang Baikun’s heart ached at the loss of his only son. Even if there were countless reasons to blame, he couldn’t tolerate anyone criticizing him, especially after his son’s death!
The pain of losing his child surged again, and Yang Baikun let out a roar from his throat. He instantly transformed into an angry lion.
“Huang Jian, today I will tear you to pieces and let you accompany my son in death!”
He bellowed angrily, raising his long sword.
A dazzling golden light burst forth, like a sun in the sky, illuminating everything around in a bright golden glow!
Along with it came an immense and terrifying momentum. The aura of the Yuan Emperor Realm surged, and a blade of light condensed, fiercely slashing toward Huang Jian in the crowd!
Within this blade of light was an unparalleled sharpness. It could easily cut through mountains and rivers, even destroying a gigantic peak!
Faced with such a dominant and decisive attack, Huang Jian’s expression became particularly solemn.
At this moment, escape was impossible. Yang Baikun had three powerful guards beside him, making running away futile.
The only thing Huang Jian could do now was defend himself with all his might!
Thinking quickly, he came up with a plan to deal with the attack.
Energy surged through his body, rapidly gathering into a bright ball in front of him. He pushed it with all his strength against Yang Baikun’s attack!
In the blink of an eye, the two forces collided directly!
“Boom!”
A deafening explosion shook the earth, causing a powerful force to sweep through like a hurricane, breaking all the surrounding trees into pieces that flew through the air!
Amidst the chaos, a figure in a yellow robe was sent flying, slamming heavily onto a mountain peak behind him.
The hard rocks cracked upon impact, leaving a deep dent in the cliffside.
This figure in the yellow robe was none other than Huang Jian!
He had just broken through the first level of the Yuan Emperor Realm, yet he was defenseless against Yang Baikun, who stood at the fifth grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm.
With just one move, he was sent flying and instantly severely injured!
“Puff!”
Huang Jian spewed out a mouthful of blood. His arms and chest were covered in wounds, his flesh mangled and torn.
He slowly slid down from the rocks, his eyes dimming, filled with a sense of impending death.
“Come and bring your life!”
Yang Baikun shouted again, charging forward with his sword.
Huang Jian was heavily wounded, no longer possessing the strength to resist. Yang Baikun knew that with one more strike, he could easily kill him.
“Come on, then!”
With weakened eyes, Huang Jian murmured silently.
At this point, he no longer felt fear. He blamed himself for trusting Yang Baikun and joining the Golden Sword Sect, only to be deceived by Yang Chuan. Instead of being killed by Su Yi, he was now about to be slain by Yang Baikun!
Yet, Huang Jian felt it was worth it. After joining the Overlord Sect, he had finally broken free from his constraints and entered the Yuan Emperor Realm!
“I, Huang Jian, have no regrets about dying. I only regret not being able to repay the kindness of my master!”
Huang Jian whispered once more.
Here, when he mentioned “master,” he was referring to Su Yi.
He had received many benefits from the Overlord Sect but had not been able to contribute much in return.
This was Huang Jian’s biggest regret before his death.
“Die!”
With a loud shout, Yang Baikun swung his long sword downward, ready to strike.
His eyes grew cold as he envisioned Huang Jian being sliced open, blood spattering everywhere, his body dismembered on the spot!
Suddenly, a figure in a green robe flashed in front of Yang Baikun. They appeared abruptly, standing between Huang Jian and his attacker.
The figure stood tall like a mountain. Despite the fierce slashes of Yang Baikun’s sword, they remained unmoved.
With a burst of green light between their hands, they threw a punch!
“Boom!”
A loud explosion echoed as Yang Baikun’s sword shattered from the impact. The force was immense, pushing him back dozens of steps before he could steady himself.
On the other side, the figure in the green robe only swayed slightly before standing firm once again.
“Who are you, and why do you stand in my way?!”
Yang Baikun was shocked by the newcomer’s strength but still shouted angrily.
“Master, this person seems to be extraordinary!”
Wei Yidao and the others from the Golden Sword Sect quickly surrounded the scene, keeping a watchful eye on the newcomer as they spoke solemnly.
They were not fools. To be able to push back Yang Baikun with just one strike and remain unscathed meant that this person’s cultivation was absolutely terrifying!
“People from my Overlord Sect, you cannot touch, Golden Sword Sect!”
Before the man in green could reply, a young voice echoed from the other side.
Immediately, a boy and a middle-aged man appeared, landing beside Huang Jian and the man in green.
On the boy’s shoulder sat a little bird.
The boy had an angry expression on his face, his eyes filled with a cold intensity as he stared at Yang Baikun and the others.
It was clear that he was the one who had just spoken.
“Leader!”
Behind the man in green, Huang Jian, who had closed his eyes in preparation for death, suddenly opened them, his body trembling with excitement.
The young man’s voice was like salvation itself!
The appearance of these people was his lifeline!
Huang Jian knew—he would not die today!
“It’s you, young man!”
Yang Baikun and Wei Yidao were startled, recognizing the boy as someone familiar.
They had sensed the aura of the Golden Scale Flaming Heavenly Bow before but had been intercepted by the Soul Devouring Emperor.
At that time, this young man had also been present.
