Chapter 374: Surprise Attack by a Great Emperor Level Powerhouse

“Black Ming, why haven’t you made your move?”

High in the sky, Mad Sword Emperor saw that King Black Ming was just following that woman but not taking action, so he immediately sent a message to ask.

“This woman has a protective shield. I plan to wait until her shield disappears before striking,” King Black Ming replied lightly.

“Are you worried that she will use the kind of attack talisman you mentioned?” Mad Sword Emperor inquired.

“Yes, I am not afraid of her talismans if I am prepared, but there’s no need,” King Black Ming replied calmly.

In fact, he simply believed that if Ye Jian used her attack talismans, it would be a waste of one.

Moreover, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t get hurt because some talismans have tracking functions, which could leave him injured as well.

So rather than risk that, it was better to wait for her protection to fade and then strike.

“Black Ming, do you want me to assist you? You can rest assured; I won’t steal your colorful fragment,” Mad Sword Emperor offered to King Black Ming.

“If Mad Sword wants to, then go ahead,” King Black Ming nodded.

He had some reservations about acting himself; he feared getting injured, and if he did, with Mad Sword Emperor attacking him, he might end up dead.

But if someone else took action, he had no objections.

Having made that clear, he was no longer worried about Mad Sword Emperor trying to take his colorful fragment.

If Mad Sword Emperor truly dared to steal it, he would just wait until Mad Sword Emperor either fell or ascended, then destroy the Sky Sword Sect to reclaim the colorful fragment.

Upon hearing King Black Ming’s words, Mad Sword Emperor wasted no time.

He quickly arrived not far from Ye Jian’s location.

Then he pointed his hand, and a blue long sword shot swiftly from his hand.

The flying sword was incredibly fast, reaching Ye Jian in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

In the next moment, the flying sword collided with the protective shield, creating a resounding shockwave.

Instantly, the long sword was knocked back by the shield; however, the shield showed no sign of disturbance at all.

When the flying sword struck her protective shield, Ye Jian finally realized she was under attack.

In a moment, her expression changed.

Her divine sense quickly scanned the area and soon detected the attacking long sword. Just sensing the pressure from the sword made her face pale, as she recognized it as an imperial weapon.

So, a Great Emperor level powerhouse was attacking her.

Ye Jian poured all her divine sense outward, trying to find the enemy who struck her. However, no matter how she scanned the area, she could not locate her attacker.

After being attacked, Ye Jian immediately used her divine sense to scan for the enemy’s position and quickly pulled the few surviving younger members of the Ye family to her side.

Because only in this way could she protect her remaining descendants.

On the other side, Mad Sword Emperor, seeing his strike fail to break the protective shield of a Divine Transformation stage cultivator, was stunned.

“Black Ming, this defensive shield can’t be the barrier formed by the colorful fragment, can it?” Mad Sword Emperor quickly asked King Black Ming.

Because apart from the barrier formed by the colorful fragment, what protective talisman could withstand his powerful blow without even a ripple?

Even a Late Tribulation stage protective shield should not remain untouched by his attack.

Upon hearing Mad Sword Emperor’s words, King Black Ming shook his head with a serious expression. “I don’t know either.”

He had seen Ye Jian’s protective shield before, but it was definitely not as powerful as it was now.

A shield that could withstand a heavy blow from a late Tribulation stage great emperor without even a ripple was something he had never seen.

What they didn’t know was that Ye Jian’s shield at that moment was a True Immortal level protective shield. Not even a tribulation stage cultivator, let alone a Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator, could break it in a short time.

“Which scoundrel attacked your aunt? Show yourself!”

On the other side, Ye Jian was furious, and she began to curse loudly.

“Scoundrel, if you have the guts, come out! A dignified Tribulation stage great emperor only dares to sneak attack and won’t show themselves?”

Ye Jian couldn’t find her attacker, so she hoped to draw them out with her words.

However, to her disappointment, despite her angry shouts, the enemy never revealed themselves.

But though the enemy did not appear, the attacks did not stop. Moments later, a thousand-meter-long imperial weapon, radiating an extremely sharp sword energy, shot towards Ye Jian’s location at an invisible speed.

Boom!

In the next moment, a mushroom cloud rose.

On the ground, a deep pit appeared, inside which a shield with a diameter of hundreds of meters easily protected the dozens of people from the Ye family and blocked all the dust.

“Boom!”

Just after the gigantic sword struck, another attack quickly followed. This was an imperial weapon type seal, striking the shield with unmatched force.

At that moment, in the sky, Mad Sword Emperor and King Black Ming made a decision: to attack the protective shield with all their might. They did not believe such a shield could withstand the attacks of two Tribulation stage great emperors for long.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Next, Ye Jian endured continuous attacks.

Fortunately, her True Immortal level protective shield meant that the attacks from the two Great Emperor level powerhouses were nothing more than light scratches against the shield.

However, constantly being attacked while unable to find her attackers made Ye Jian very frustrated.

At the same time, her heart was filled with hatred towards the two who were attacking her.

She was almost certain that her family members were the ones behind the attacks.

Two Tribulation stage great emperors attacking her really was a sign of their regard for her.

Ye Jian could feel the energy of the shield. According to the rate of energy consumption, it would hold for several more hours.

Once this shield was depleted, she could use other defense talismans. It was nearly impossible for the two great emperors to kill her.

However, she could not just stand by and be attacked.

Her current situation was that she could not find the traces of her enemies, so even if she wanted to use attack talismans to strike back, she had no way to do so.

So, the first thing Ye Jian thought of was to seek help.

“Dad, are you there?”

“Dad…”

The first person Ye Jian thought of was her biological father in the Golden Immortal Realm. If her father came, the two Tribulation stage cultivators would not be much stronger than ants.

Yet no matter how Ye Jian called out, there was no response from her father.

“Is Liu Hongxia there? Hongxia…”

Seeing that her father didn’t respond, Ye Jian began to call out to Liu Hongxia. If Liu Hongxia could come, she could help her resolve the trouble.

“Yes, what’s the matter?” Liu Hongxia quickly replied.

“Hongxia, I am being attacked by two Great Emperor level powerhouses. Can you come help me? I’m willing to pay you a satisfactory reward,” Ye Jian quickly stated to Liu Hongxia.

Upon hearing Ye Jian’s words, Liu Hongxia’s voice responded lightly, “Ye Jian, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I can’t get there. Only our dad can teleport people; we children cannot teleport.”

“Then, what should I do now?”

Ye Jian was stunned, believing her father could teleport to her side, and that others could too.

“Didn’t I give you some immortal-level attack talismans? Isn’t it easy to deal with two Great Emperor level powerhouses? Are you reluctant to use them?”

“That’s not it; it’s that my divine sense can’t find the people attacking me,” Ye Jian hurriedly explained.

“Oh, I forgot you’re only in the Divine Transformation stage.”

“Hongxia, do you have any way to help me?” Ye Jian quickly inquired.
