Chapter 258: with translation of chapter title

The Demon Tribe Elder's face changed in shock, he stared wide-eyed.

The next moment, he swiftly withdrew his arm without hesitation, but it was already too late.

Only to see the sharp blade slash through the void like lightning, accurately striking the Demon Tribe Elder's hand.

Instantly, a surge of pain struck, making him involuntarily let out a miserable scream: "Ah!"

The Demon Tribe Elder's half palm snapped off, blood spattering from the wound, as if a blooming blood flower burst in the air.

Scarlet blood poured down like raindrops.

Yuan Yao reacted extremely quickly, she unsheathed her sword and thrust at the already dazed Demon Tribe Elder without hesitation, with a clang, her long sword was blocked by one of the Demon Tribe's personal guards.

She was shaken back several steps.

Immediately, she raised her head and glanced at Xie Yan.

Their eye contact lasted less than a second, Yuan Yao already averted her gaze, she immediately activated a blood sacrifice formation, enveloping the Demon Tribe Elder and others, buying them a moment.

Afterwards, she dashed toward the city gate without hesitation.

During this, countless demon tribe soldiers swarmed toward her like a bee colony.

Yuan Yao now bore serious injuries, facing so many alone, she quickly fell into a disadvantage.

At the same time, the Demon Tribe Elder and his guards broke through the formation barrier in a short time.

Yuan Yao was now in a miserable state, almost covered in blood, both her own and the demon tribe's.

She swung her sword, repelling dozens of demon tribe soldiers, then turned to look at the Demon Tribe Elder and his guards, a meaningful smile curling her lips.

"Come, kill me."

She no longer resisted, simply standing against the wind, the face she had disguised as a frail demon tribe attendant lit up with a pleased smile.

The Demon Tribe Elder, however, suddenly felt wariness, his eyes wary as he sized up Yuan Yao.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Seize her first!"

Just as the eight guards approached Yuan Yao, a white figure flashed in, he swung his sword once, like a vast river surging forth with tremendous force, sweeping away and overturning those eight guards in an instant.

This did not stop; the youth's figure was extremely swift, with blood droplets blooming at the sword tip.

In the blink of an eye, four guards had their throats sealed by his sword.

If it weren't for the Demon Tribe Elder suddenly intervening to block the youth's killing move, the remaining four guards would likely have gone to see the King of Hell.

The Demon Tribe Elder's eyes were both wary and furious as he stared at the white-clad youth, then glanced at Yuan Yao.

"You two are indeed in league!"

Xie Yan suddenly curled his lip, "Don't you know? Our human race and the demon race have already joined forces, because the demon race does not trust you demon tribe."

Having said that, before the Demon Tribe Elder could react, Xie Yan moved, swinging his sword fiercely at him.

The Demon Tribe Elder had no time to think, immediately gathering demonic power to block!

Boom!

With one sword strike, the entire Bind Ning City trembled violently.

The Demon Tribe Elder felt a suffocating pressure in his chest, traces of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

The surrounding demon tribe soldiers could not withstand such immense impact, being overturned to the ground.

Meanwhile, Yuan Yao watched the scene of Xie Yan fighting the Demon Tribe Elder, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Was Xie Yan's plan...?

Intending to use her name to send a message to the demon tribe—that the demon race had already allied with the human race, then turn the tables on the demon tribe army?

Thus, no matter how the demon race explains, the demon tribe would develop suspicion and estrangement.

Xie Yan is still quite clever.

But, she had not allied with him!

Yuan Yao, angry, took out a Healing Wound Pill and a disguise pill from her storage space, swallowing them both at once.

At the same time, the remaining four guards came to hunt her down.

Yuan Yao gritted her teeth, she could only change her original plan, disguising herself as a fox demon, pretending to ally with the human Xie Yan.

Her appearance began to change.

She turned into the likeness of a fox demon.

She endured the intense pain from her body, raising her sword to meet the four guards' attack.

She swung her sword while controlling her mental power to invade their seas of consciousness.

Yet despite this, she was still no match for them.

Just as she was sent flying by a guard's giant hammer, about to crash hard to the ground, a hand suddenly appeared at her waist, tightly gripping her.

She smelled a familiar fresh fragrance.

Before she could react, the youth embraced her while raising his sword to block the Demon Tribe Elder's assault.

After retreating to a spot, Yuan Yao steadied herself, she glanced at Xie Yan, then silently withdrew from his embrace.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xie." Her tone aloof.

When Yuan Yao lowered her eyes, she saw his clean white robes now stained with large patches of blood and dust.

Xie Yan did not look at her, giving a cold, soft "En."

Yuan Yao: "Fellow Daoist Xie, how confident are you that you can kill them?"

"Certain."

Xie Yan said without glancing aside, "You stay here; I'll go settle them."

As soon as his words fell, he flashed toward the Demon Tribe Elder, using his own strength to intercept the four guards.

Yuan Yao watched his demeanor and knew his 'illness' had been cured.

At that moment, those demon tribe soldiers charged at her to kill.

Yuan Yao clearly felt her spiritual power inside her body was almost exhausted, and with her serious injuries, she simply couldn't kill so many demon tribe soldiers, so……

She could only defend!

She immediately took out the high-grade defensive magic artifact her master had given her!

——Diamond Shield!

She immediately used the Diamond Shield to cover herself.

But when the demon tribe soldiers exerted all their strength to slash at her, they could only hear the sound "clang clang clang bang bang bang".

They simply couldn't hit Yuan Yao!

Yuan Yao smugly made a face at them, "hehehe."

"Come slash me!"

The Diamond Shield couldn't block the attacks of the demon tribe elder and those demon tribe personal guards, but it could block the attacks of the demon tribe soldiers.

Because most of these soldiers were low-level demon tribe, their strength wasn't high.

The demon tribe soldiers were furious and frustrated.

"Come out!"

"If you've got the guts, come out!!!"

A large group of soldiers waved their weapons and smashed toward the Diamond Shield, seeming determined to break it open.

After making a few faces, Yuan Yao immediately poured hemostatic powder onto her wounds.

At the same time——

Xie Yan then slew two more personal guards.

The demon tribe elder was also seriously wounded by him.

The demon tribe elder incredulously stared at this human youth before him.

After a moment, Xie Yan completely slew the last two personal guards.

Just as he swung his sword to behead the demon tribe elder——

He instantly felt a powerful and terrifying dangerous aura.

Xie Yan's expression changed slightly; he swiftly flashed toward Yuan Yao's direction, with a sword sweep overturning the demon tribe soldiers surrounding Yuan Yao, then said to Yuan Yao: "Hurry up and leave!"

Yuan Yao also sensed the danger.

She quickly withdrew the Diamond Shield.

In the next instant, her wrist was seized by the youth.

His fingers were ice-cold, like a millennium cold jade.
