Chapter 372: Broken Blade

At this moment, the world in Deng Yutang's eyes was like slow motion.

Deng Yu Xiang spitting blood.

The Night-Severing Great Saber trying its best to push its master and carry her to escape.

And that descending Lord Bei Feng Divine Blade...

Deng Yutang was distraught, his body feeling somewhat weak.

Was she going to die?

Was his own kin going to die under this blade?

Bai Manni hugged her boyfriend tightly, closing her eyes, not daring to watch.

"Lu..." Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward, her expression a mix of fear and joy.

For a moment, she really thought she would have to collect the body of her good friend.

If one's skills were inferior, there was nothing to say.

But Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel sorrow in her heart, and even a trace of resentment.

Why?

Why fight until exhaustion, why refuse to surrender?

Grandfather had just said: There is always a type of person in this world who would rather die than surrender.

Why bother?

In the face of life, is everything else really that important?

It really is... sigh, perhaps so.

The Great Xia, with its checkered history, has stood firm in the wind and rain until today precisely because there are groups of people who "would rather die than surrender."

The bright camellia had ultimately gone generously to battle, blooming proudly, fighting until the final chapter.

Fortunately, he was there.

He said she wouldn't die.

Wouldn't die...

"Ah!!"

"Who is that?"

"That is..." From various parts of the pine forest, gasps came.

Including Hu Jiaojiao, many Lord Bei Feng believers saw that rapidly shuttling phantom.

Was that an Immortal Hoof?

Was that an Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer?

Fast,

Simply too fast!

Fast enough to snatch a life back from the hands of the Grim Reaper under the rapid slash of the Lord Bei Feng Divine Blade!

The Divine Weapon, Night-Severing Great Saber, had been anxious and near despair a second ago.

The next second, it felt a massive force strike!

A figure hugged its master, and together with the person and the blade, rushed in another direction.

And above their heads, the Lord Bei Feng Divine Blade, which was constantly adjusting its angle and slashing rapidly, slammed into the ground!

"Boom!"

The earth shook and the mountains swayed!

The fierce air wave, rolling with frost and snow, rushed toward both sides.

"Whoosh!!"

Under the terrifying wind and waves, pine trees were blown and snapped, the sound of cracking echoing endlessly.

Just one blade!

The earth was cut open, the scene so spectacular it was like a natural chasm.

On both sides of the chasm, the pine forest had been leveled!

Lord Bei Feng disciples in the forest were overturned one after another, screams ringing out constantly.

A problem arose!

Lu Ran was not far from the chasm.

But he was just holding the "bloody person" in his arms, staggering, not being blown away.

This...?

In the snow forest, the old man beside Hu Jiaojiao closed his eyes and listened carefully.

He frowned slightly, imperceptibly.

At the same time, high in the sky.

"You!!" Liao Wushuang's eyes widened!

At the critical moment, she relied on her absolute strength and Divine Weapon assistance to move laterally more than ten meters, dodging Deng Yu Xiang's Lord Bei Feng Divine Blade.

As for being controlled by the tornado...

Rather than saying Liao Wushuang was imprisoned by the storm, it was better to say she was going with the flow, baiting the enemy into attacking.

Even the Night-Severing Great Saber could carry Deng Yu Xiang and thrust several meters within the tornado.

Liao Wushuang's Divine Weapon could naturally accomplish this more easily.

But what she didn't expect was that someone would dare to run wild and disrupt the situation?

Liao Wushuang watched as Deng Yu Xiang suffered heavy injuries and was finally about to be broken...

As a result, Deng Yu Xiang was rescued?

"You have a lot of nerve!"

Liao Wushuang's eyes were filled with shocking killing intent!

She gripped her ring-pommel saber and slashed fiercely!

Divine Weapon Domain, open!

"Sss! Sss!"

"Sss..."

Below in the martial arts arena, beside the Lord Bei Feng Divine Blade.

Countless streaks of blade Qi appeared out of thin air, tearing frantically.

Immortal mist surged under Lu Ran's feet, shuttling rapidly, accelerating and stopping abruptly.

He held the bloody person with one arm, retreating and advancing, swaying left and right.

Streaks of blade Qi attacked from all angles.

The young man trapped in the domain moved rapidly away from the center of the domain.

But Lu Ran was carrying a person after all; under such an intense Divine Weapon Domain, it was impossible to be unscathed.

From time to time, he used his body as a human shield!

Any blade Qi he couldn't dodge, he took on himself.

"Crack! Crack! Crack..."

The sound of the blade being torn apart came constantly.

The Night-Severing Great Saber was 2.8 meters long, and its surface area for attacks was too wide.

Whenever blade Qi grazed it, it would be sent flying chaotically.

"Sever... Night-Severing..." Deng Yu Xiang's eyes reddened.

Two lines of clear tears washed her blood-stained face.

"Crack! Crack!"

The Night-Severing Great Saber bounced around, slashed back and forth by blade Qi, shattering into pieces.

"Whoosh~"

Suddenly, the Night-Severing blade spirit appeared.

She had a face similar to Deng Yu Xiang's; she looked at her master's back, a smile appearing on her face.

It was a smile of relief.

This battle was never Deng Yu Xiang's decision alone.

Facing the challenge,

The Night-Severing blade spirit was far more persistent than Deng Yu Xiang!

Now...

Having fought for their lives, let it be so.

"Night-Severing... Pfft..." The blood Deng Yu Xiang vomited stained Lu Ran's shoulder.

"Crack!!"

The Night-Severing Great Saber, covered in cracks, was cut in half by a streak of blade Qi!

The mental connection between the Divine Weapon and its master was severed.

Deng Yu Xiang's eyes lost focus, letting herself be held by Lu Ran, lunging left and right.

With a crisp "pop" sound.

Lu Ran suddenly lunged forward more than ten meters, extremely bold, and grabbed the Night-Severing hilt.

To be precise,

It was a broken blade.

The hilt had been shaved off by half, and the remaining small section of the blade was still covered in cracks.

"Sss-la!"

Lu Ran, who had acted rashly, paid the price!

His sleeve was instantly torn, and a blade wound was cut into his forearm.

Lu Ran's Water Flow Armor, after being damaged and shattered, naturally needed time to re-gather.

"Stop! Stop the battle!!" Hu Jiaojiao shouted loudly, "Someone has broken the rules! Senior Liao, stop first!"

Stop?

Liao Wushuang's expression was extremely sinister.

You want me to stop?

As long as Deng Yu Xiang is not dead, I cannot sleep or eat in peace!

And that person who suddenly appeared and tried to save her, I don't care what you are, kill without mercy!

You want to save someone from under my blade?

You really have a lot of nerve!

Then you can go be buried with her!

"Whoosh!!"

Liao Wushuang not only didn't stop, but added more force.

She reached forward with one hand, and a tornado was thrown directly under Lu Ran's feet.

Hu Jiaojiao's expression stiffened!

You have to know, the Divine Weapon Domain was still continuing.

Lu Ran was already in a life-or-death situation dodging the dense blade Qi while carrying Deng Yu Xiang.

Now, Liao Wushuang had thrown another tornado?!

In such terrifying wind and waves, how could Lu Ran stabilize his figure?

If he took one wrong step, or made one small mistake, it would be total destruction!

"Sss..."

"Senior Liao is really angry; she's really going for the kill!"

"She's not holding back at all; she wants to slaughter them both together."

"Heh, why should she hold back? That person broke the rules first, disrupting the life-and-death duel. If you dare to enter the arena, you have to be prepared to bear the consequences!"

"Could this Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer be Lu Ran?"

"It should be! Besides the Great Xia's number one genius, what other Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer has real skills?"

"Holy shit, could it really be Lu Ran?"

"Ah??"

The reason the Lord Bei Feng disciples couldn't be sure was because the martial arts arena was too chaotic.

The previously slashed Lord Bei Feng Divine Blade had stirred up violent wind and waves.

Although the snow on the ground had been blown away, there was even more dust, gravel, and mud.

The Lord Bei Feng disciples, whose vision was obscured, could only continue to listen.

But as they listened, people started to feel something was wrong.

"Grandfather!" Hu Jiaojiao hurriedly grabbed the old man's arm, "Make Senior Liao stop quickly, you preside over the situation!"

City Lord Hu suddenly raised his hand, stopping Hu Jiaojiao's words.

This high-and-mighty City Lord Hu had always been emotionally restrained.

That expressionless face only occasionally revealed a loving smile when facing his granddaughter.

But at this moment, the old man's expression was grim, his brows furrowed!

The old man tilted his head slightly, obviously trying hard to listen, or as if trying hard to confirm something.

City Lord Hu was majestic, and even his own granddaughter didn't dare to act presumptuously.

Hu Jiaojiao had no choice but to channel her technique with all her might to listen as well.

The next moment, Hu Jiaojiao's expression changed completely!

This...?

What is this?

Lu Ran was holding Deng Yu Xiang, and was actually moving forward step by step within the River Estuary-grade Lord Bei Feng Howl?!

Lu Ran was not blown away by the tornado, nor was he wrapped in the wind and waves, constantly spinning.

Although he was staggering, he was still able to dodge the blade Qi and walk out of the tornado step by step!

Hu Jiaojiao was completely stunned!

Liao Wushuang was also stunned!

Any Lord Bei Feng disciple with slightly higher strength was dumbfounded.

How?!

Even the River Estuary Realm expert Deng Yu Xiang had to rely on Divine Weapon assistance, with master and weapon working together, to escape the tornado's control.

How could this Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer do it?

Because...

Lu Ran was the Lord of Demons!

Because under his command, there was a powerful Yemo Yemo Xiesu—the Savage Nüba!

Savage Nüba's Evil Technique: Savage Power!

This technique could amplify the caster's strength, and this strength was drawn from the earth.

The Savage clan was closely connected to the earth and countered many techniques.

They feared no thunder or lightning,

And could laugh wildly and stand firmly in the midst of a gale!

Thinking back to when Lu Ran first met the Savage Nüba, he was facing her together with the bloody person in his arms.

That Savage Nüba had once laughed loudly within a tornado cast by Deng Yu Xiang.

If a servant could be this rampant, what about the Lord of Demons?

If it weren't for the fact that the Savage Nüba Yemo Yemo Xiesu was currently at the River Realm and could only cast River-grade Savage Power, Lu Ran wouldn't even be staggering!

Of course, his ability to move like this also had two other powerful assists!

Rosy Cloud Blade, Silent Zhan Ye Dao!

The two Divine Weapons flanked Lu Ran on the left and right, moving according to his thoughts and helping their master stabilize his figure.

"Holy crap! Is it really Lu Ran?"

"Ah?"

"The Great Xia genius! The Great Xia's number one genius!!"

"I just said, who else could have such style, to forcibly fish Senior Sister Deng out of a mountain of blades and a sea of fire!"

"He... but he broke the rules!"

"Really awesome! This...?"

"Fuck! Divine Weapon Domain, plus Lord Bei Feng Howl, and he just broke out like that??"

"Stop, Senior Liao, this is Lu Ran!"

As Lu Ran dodged the blade Qi and walked out of the tornado, the scene completely exploded.

Gasps arose everywhere.

Liao Wushuang's expression was extremely ugly!

Lu Ran walked out?!

Under the gaze of everyone's unbelievable eyes, he just walked out like that!

At this time, Lu Ran was still dodging blade Qi!

It was just that he had already moved away from the central area of the Divine Weapon Domain, and the number and frequency of the blade Qi had dropped significantly.

That figure, moving with ease, contrasted sharply with his extremely disheveled appearance.

Lu Ran was holding the bloody person in his arms, his clothes covered in bloodstains.

The down jacket was also tattered, and Lu Ran's body was covered in blade wounds.

"Wushuang." The old man standing in the snow forest spoke slowly.

High in the sky, Liao Wushuang gripped the ring-pommel saber tightly, her body trembling.

"Liao Wushuang." The old man shouted in a low voice once more.

Suddenly,

The blade Qi disappeared, and the wild wind stopped abruptly.

Lu Ran, covered in blade wounds, held the blood-covered Deng Yu Xiang and stood still.

On his right cheek, there was still a blade wound where the white cheekbone could be seen.

Fresh blood continued to surge out.

Inside and outside the martial arts arena, there was silence.

Lu Ran was expressionless, his left arm wrapped around Deng Yu Xiang, his palm supporting the back of her head, letting her face bury into his shoulder.

In his right hand, he held a broken blade.

He slowly raised his right hand and wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand:

"Lu Ran,

greets all the human seniors!"

Begging for some monthly tickets.
