Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

Tao Yan understood that the situation was over now and he could no longer escape death. But as a veteran strongman, he has his own pride.

Even if you die, you must not die cowardly!

His body shook, and thick black mist spread from around him, gradually covering the entire sky. If you look up from the ground at this time, you will see that a very low dark cloud has completely covered the entire Wuling City, making it impossible to see the sky.

When everyone on the ground saw this scene, they were all shaken and looked horrified.

The corpses of General Jiuyou that kept falling had already explained the final result of the battle. Obviously, Tao Yan is now preparing to make the final blow.

No one expected that the once famous Holy Lord Jiuyou would die in this place today.

In addition, many people looked at the sky with curiosity. They wanted to know whether the three geniuses who founded Yunjian Pavilion were still so strong against a veteran Tribulation Realm expert like Tao Yan.

At the same time, Xin Ruxiong, who was commanding Jiuyou disciples to attack Wuling City at the city gate, looked at the sky with complicated eyes.

Although he was already prepared to fail when he made the plan. But when this result appeared in front of him, he still found it difficult to accept it.

But right now, it's not the time to think about this.

He said without hesitation: "Stop the siege and everyone retreat immediately!"

The elder of the Nine Nether Holy Land who was in charge of the command couldn't help but said: "Give us a little more time, we will be able to capture Wuling City, why should we retreat at this time? If we retreat, what will happen to the Holy Lord?"

Xin Ruxiong frowned and said in a sinister tone: "Am I the Holy Son or are you the Holy Son? I ask you to retreat, do you want to disobey me?"

Among the three holy places, the status of the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter is second only to the Holy Lord. Therefore, when Tao Yan is away, Xin Ruxiong has the final say in Jiuyou Holy Land.

Although the elder was dissatisfied, he did not know how to salute and said: "Yes, I will obey the order of the Holy Son!"

After saying that, he shouted to Jiuyou disciples: "Everyone, retreat immediately!"

Jiuyou Holy Land has a strict hierarchy and prohibitions. Although many people did not understand why they had to retreat at this time, everyone still chose to execute the order immediately without hesitation. They put away their siege equipment and retreated to the east in an orderly manner. As the Holy Son, Xin Ruxiong was the last to leave.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at Wuling City for the last time.

He really didn't understand why they had been attacking for so long. How could Wuling City's protective formation be so strong? So how many spiritual stones did Feng Shao use to provide energy for the city protection array?

It seemed that if he faced Feng Shao again in the future, he would have to think carefully.

While the group from Jiuyou Holy Land retreated, Lin Fengtian finally came into contact with Tao Yan again.

Tao Yan, with full firepower and even burning his own essence and blood, was even stronger than before. The overwhelming black mist transformed into a variety of weapons, seemingly alive, and attacked Lin Fengtian with bared teeth and claws. Lin Fengtian, on the other hand, was fearless, holding the Huangquan Sword in his hand and fighting bravely!

Several meteor hammers with a diameter of one meter crashed down on Lin Fengtian. However, Lin Fengtian just waved his hand, and dozens of dark yellow sword energy shot out in an instant, each facing the meteor hammer. Only a loud bang was heard, the meteor hammer was exploded by the sword energy one after another, and the thick black mist dispersed in all directions.

But the black mist that was dispersed immediately regrouped in the air, transforming into several seven- to eight-meter-long nine-ring machetes, which struck Lin Fengtian from different angles.

Lin Fengtian's face was as dark as water, and the Huangquan Sword suddenly glowed in his hand. Before Lin Fengtian could swing the sword, it condensed into dozens of sword lights out of thin air. That sword light was not just a sword light, it contained murderous intent. Anyone who is waiting for a chance encounter will be destroyed by the murderous intent of the Underworld Sword, leaving no body intact.

Even a strong person in the Tribulation Realm would feel like facing a formidable enemy when faced with such sword light.

As soon as the sword light condensed and took shape, under Lin Fengtian's control, it converged into a terrifying giant sword. He swung his sword suddenly and cut through the black fog that covered the sky and the sun in one fell swoop!

The black mist inspired by burning blood essence was like an extension of Tao Yan's body. Therefore, Lin Fengtian's sword was no more than a chop on his body!

The unique murderous intent of the Underworld Sword invaded his body and crazily destroyed the vitality in his body. Severe pain spread all over his body along his meridians in an instant, and he was so unbearable that he couldn't help but scream.

Lin Fengtian snorted coldly: "Old ghost Tao, your method of burning essence and blood is just a mistake of cleverness!"

If Tao Yan didn't burn his essence and blood, then with the strength of both parties, Lin Fengtian might have to slowly deal with him and wear away the black mist bit by bit. But after he burned his essence and blood, everything became simpler.

Because after burning the essence and blood, as long as the black mist is destroyed enough, it is equivalent to directly attacking Tao Yan's body. With the characteristics of the Underworld Sword, facing this situation is the right way to go!

Tao Yan finally figured this out and couldn't help but smile. Unexpectedly, in his entire life, he would eventually lose due to this small oversight!

Feeling the Huangquan sword energy that wantonly destroyed the vitality of his body, Tao Yan knew that he was really hopeless this time. He simply condensed the remaining black mist out of thin air into a machete that was thirty or forty meters long, gave up all defenses, and slashed at Lin Fengtian with all his might!

Tao Yan said with a ferocious smile: "Lin Fengtian, if you have the ability, just take this blow from me!"

This knife condensed the life-long power of a strong man in the Crossing Tribulation Realm, and its might was close to the True Immortal Realm. Under this slash like the might of the vast heaven, I am afraid that a mountain would be split in half!

Lin Fengtian did not dodge, and he could not dodge. He did not look at the knife that was coming at him, but cast his eyes on Xiao Ruoyao with a gentle look.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoyao and Lin Fengtian were in sync and smiled at Lin Fengtian.

Decades ago, when the two were only cultivators in the Transformation Realm, they had also faced a desperate knife like the one in front of them. And the one who slashed that knife was the then leader of the Tianxin Sect, Long Huaiyu.

At that time, in order to give Lin Fengtian a chance to survive, Xiao Ruoyao tried her best to burn her blood and blocked the blow. Although Lin Fengtian was saved because of this, he was also thrown into the Netherworld Abyss and survived a narrow escape.

Lin Fengtian, who escaped from death, thought that Xiao Ruoyao had died, and his heart was in unbearable pain. For a long time, Lin Fengtian was thinking, if he had the ability at that time, if he had been the one to meet the enemy at that time, if he had been the one to be thrown into the Netherworld Abyss instead of Xiao Ruoyao, it would have been great.

Even when he met Xiao Ruoyao again later, this thought in Lin Fengtian's heart never faded. Because he knew that Xiao Ruoyao was able to survive by sheer luck. If this happened again next time, he would not dare to expect such luck again.

So he deduced this knife in his mind countless times, and practiced how to block this knife countless times. Although for a strong man of his realm, it was a waste of time to practice specifically for such a simple attack, he still held such an obsession in his heart.

Now, the sword moves that have been practiced tens of thousands of times finally have a place to use at this moment.

"I practiced countless times, just to stop feeling the despair at that moment."

Lin Fengtian murmured, and met the earth-shaking long knife. The deep yellow sword energy surrounded Lin Fengtian's head, gradually turning into a huge sword energy vortex. The Yellow Spring Sword drove the vortex of sword energy, fearlessly going against the trend!

Although Xiao Ruoyao was not standing beside him at this moment, and he did not need to block the knife for Xiao Ruoyao, both Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao knew it in their hearts. What he wanted to block was not this knife, but the despair he faced at that moment decades ago, and the determination of life and death.

In a trance, Lin Fengtian seemed to see the figure wearing aqua clothes and holding a blue long sword. Although she was weak and slender, she was like a moth to a flame and resolutely faced the destructive knife.

She looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness. Her lips moved, as if she was saying something. At this moment, Lin Fengtian suddenly realized that the doubts that had lingered in his heart for decades were finally answered.

"So what she said at that time was: 'Live on, fool.'"

The next moment, the Yellow Spring Sword Qi finally collided head-on with the black mist long sword!

Boom!

The momentum of the collision between the swords shook the earth, and the residual power spread to a hundred miles. The people in Wuling City couldn't even hear any sound at that moment!

It's not that there was no sound, but the sound was so loud that it exceeded the ear's ability to accept.

Xiao Ruoyao, Leng Lingyue and Feng Shao, who were closest to the center of the battlefield, had the most intuitive feeling of the power of this attack. If Leng Lingyue hadn't helped Feng Shao block most of the remaining power, Feng Shao, who had already cut off the connection with the formation, would have been blown away by the air wave.

Xiao Ruoyao stared in the direction of Lin Fengtian, her eyes flashing with crystal tears.

At this time, Leng Lingyue's faint sigh came: "This time, he should really come out."

Xiao Ruoyao smiled and nodded, with relief in her expression: "That incident was a hurdle in his heart that he could never get over. For so many years, he has been looking for an opportunity to prove that he can protect me. But he is not proving it to me, but to himself. This time, he finally found this opportunity!"

Leng Lingyue's face also floated with a faint smile: "Is this the obsession of a man to protect his beloved?"
