C4533 Defend Until the End!
Under the interweaving of sword light and fist shadows, both of them were desperately using their mana to suppress the other party in order to gain the upper hand.
However, the two of them were actually evenly matched in terms of mana, and neither of them could gain the upper hand.
In the blink of an eye, such a close confrontation had occurred.
Boom!
A shocking wave of air exploded, pushing both of them away at the same time, quickly retreating and widening the distance between them.
Chen Xiao felt a pain in his arm. He lowered his head and saw that the blood barrier that he had condensed had been pierced by the sword, and countless cracks had spread out, almost covering his entire arm, and even a trace of blood had seeped out.
"As expected of a metal-type sword cultivator. The sword intent is incomparably sharp, even sharper than Lan Yue's sword intent. Hmph, he's really a little difficult to deal with."
Chen Xiao muttered in his heart. He clenched his right fist tightly, and the cracks began to heal bit by bit, recovering to its original state. However, he felt a trace of fatigue, and his body was also much heavier than before.
As expected, if the consumption was too great, even the Blood Devil Body Clone would not be able to withstand it.
Chen Xiao was shocked and thought, "It looks like this battle won't be able to be delayed. Should I call Fu Xue and the others to come and assist?"
Just as he was hesitating and weighing the options, he realized that the other party's black-clothed protector's eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Why is my sword's power reduced by more than 30%?"
The black-clothed protector said in fear.
Even his hand that was holding the sword trembled slightly. He could feel that the sword just now was his full strength. Not to mention that the sword had cut off his opponent's arm, but at least it could shatter his opponent's boxing qi. However, the result was that his opponent's boxing qi only had cracks on it, and it did not shatter.
Obviously, this was unacceptable to him. This meant that his opponent's strength had increased, or that his sword just now had become weaker.
In an instant, a hint of panic appeared in his heart.
But very quickly, he regained his calm.
"I don't believe it. Watch the sword."
The Jade Slashing Sword danced, and it fiercely charged towards Chen Xiao again.
At the same time, on a mountain peak in the distance, Gu Lanyue and the rest were together with Chen Xiao's puppet. They stared closely at the battle situation on this side, ready to make a move at any time.
"Captain, it's time to make a move. This fiend's sword is too sharp, and it has a restraining effect on you. If something bad happens to you, it won't be good."
Gu Feng said anxiously. He was a little impatient.
Zuo Zhao stood at the side with a dark face and did not say a word. He acted as a doorman, protecting Fu Xue and Gu Lanyue, who was focused on controlling the flying sword.
As Gu Lanyue's Redcloud Sword made a move, Evil Sect Tribulation Transcenders fell one after another. This way, the Evil Sect Tribulation Transcenders' attack on the Talisman Cannon immediately stopped, and there was no more surging momentum like before.
On the battlefield, the situation was still scorching hot, but the Evil Sect Tribulation Transcenders could not catch them off guard like before and get close enough to break the runes and destroy them.
With the help of the Crimson Nimbus Sword, the Orthodox Dao cultivators also took the opportunity to gain a firm foothold.
This way, the Evil Sect Tribulation Transcenders were caught in a bitter battle, and the situation slowly fell into a bitter battle.
“Take them.”
Suddenly, Gu Lan Yue whispered. A fiery red streak flew over from the horizon. It was the Crimson Nimbus Sword. With a flash of the sword, it produced an ear-piercing sword hum as it pierced into the mountain peak, producing a loud bang.
“Puchi.”
Gu Lan Yue’s face turned pale, and she could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. It splashed onto the ground, and it was a ghastly sight.
Gu Feng was frightened when he saw this, and he hurriedly squatted down to check. “Sister, are you alright? Are you injured? Don’t scare me. Which bastard did this to you? I’ll avenge you and tear him into a thousand pieces.”
Gu Feng shouted angrily.
Zuo Zhao’s eyes were filled with anxiety, but he was much calmer. He looked at Fu Xue, and Fu Xue took out a Heaven Returning Pill and other healing medicinal pills in an orderly manner. She stuffed them into Gu Lan Yue’s mouth, and she once again used her magic power to assist her in refining the medicinal power.
“How is it?” Zuo Zhao asked with concern.
“I’ve consumed too much energy, and my mind has been damaged,” Fu Xue replied with a frown, then she said to Gu Lan Yue, “Lan Yue, you don’t have to go all out. The situation has already stabilized, and the Evil Sect’s chances of invading are slim.”
After a moment, Gu Lan Yue recovered. Her face was a little bit more rosy, and she exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. She said, "Yes, and the captain, I'm worried..."
As they spoke, the four of them looked at Chen Xiao's Profound Puppet.
Ever since Chen Xiao and the black-robed Protector had fought to the death, the puppet had not reacted at all.
"Captain? Captain?" Gu Feng called out carefully.
However, there was still no response.
When Zuo Zhao saw this, he said, "It seems that the enemy is fully focused on dealing with the enemy in front of them. It's not good to be distracted."
"Yes, that's probably the case." Fu Xue nodded and agreed.
"Then what should we do now? We can't just do nothing, right?" Gu Feng said unhappily. Seeing Chen Xiao and the black-robed protector fighting to the death and not doing anything to save them was not something he could do.
Gu Lan Yue took a deep breath and rolled her eyes at him. She said, "The enemy is very strong. If we attack recklessly, we will only cause trouble for the captain. Only when we attack at a critical moment will it be useful. Let's wait for a while."
After saying that, she ignored Gu Feng and focused on healing her injuries and recovering.
"At a critical moment? What kind of moment is it?"
Gu Feng scratched his head with a confused expression.
...
On the border of Jing Bian City, not long ago.
Zheng Xuan let out a long breath and sat down on the city wall as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. Beside him, many early and low-level Prominent Divine Realm cultivators were leaning against the city wall and looking at the direction of the Third Prince's expedition.
“Say, do you think Third Highness can win this battle?” Zheng Xuan asked.
The companion by the side sighed. “Who knows? We’ve already done everything we can. If we lose, then it’s fate. We can’t blame anything else. At that time, we should hurry up and run for our lives. We don’t have to care about this city anymore.”
“That’s right,” someone echoed.
But Zheng Xuan was unconvinced, and he said, “Run? Where can we run to? Jingbian City is our home, our root. We can’t leave. We have to defend it to the end.”
The companion’s expression turned gloomy. “Although that’s what you say, we can’t die with you. I still want to live.”
“Sigh.” Zheng Xuan sighed in his heart. He knew that his companion’s words were right.
He glanced at the many low-level cultivators who were still on the city wall, and he was very confused.
He obviously knew that if the Third Prince really lost, Jingbian City would definitely not be protected. The evil sects would drive straight in, and they would immediately abandon the city and run for their lives.
Even if it was him, he said that he would defend the city to the end, but if it really came to that critical moment, it was hard to guarantee that he would turn around and run.
Human nature could not withstand trials, and Zheng Xuan knew this very well.
