Chapter 2433: All-Out Protection

Shaman glanced at the broken spear in his hand and was stunned for a moment.

He then looked at Ye Liuyun and saw that he was clearly immersed in an epiphany state.

He shook his head, tossed his broken spear to the ground, and drew another spear.

But he did not stab at the clone; instead, he stood guard beside it, vigilantly watching over it.

Actually, Shaman knew deep down that even before he and Ye Liuyun began fighting, he had already sensed Ye Liuyun's aura and felt he could be a worthy opponent.

But Ye Liuyun never used Heaven and Earth Power or Mysterious Origin from start to finish; even when he blocked his attacks with his body, he kept fighting using sword intent.

This is enough to show that Ye Liuyun was practicing his sword.

At first he was a little angry, feeling that Ye Liuyun looked down on him, but even after fighting until his True Essence was exhausted, he still couldn't defeat Ye Liuyun.

So Ye Liuyun also aroused his strong curiosity.

And Ye Liuyun openly revealed his identity, making him feel even more that Ye Liuyun was a trustworthy friend, at least candid enough.

In the deceitful world of martial cultivators, Ye Liuyun's ability to communicate openly is already quite rare.

From the moment his spear was cut by Ye Liuyun, he knew he had lost.

He lost because he couldn't improve as quickly as Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun improved his sword intent through the battle with him, but his strength did not increase rapidly.

But although he lost, he didn't feel resentful, feeling that Ye Liuyun's victory was open and aboveboard.

Moreover, he set Ye Liuyun as his target to surpass, and would not be discouraged by this defeat.

So Ye Liuyun is having an epiphany now, and he also feels he should help Ye Liuyun, not taking the opportunity to attack—a petty act.

But in such a dangerous environment, wanting to protect Ye Liuyun, he also knows it's not easy.

He took out his own defensive artifact, enveloping Ye Liuyun within it, but he himself no longer had such an artifact, relying only on the defensive shield on his armor.

However, danger would not let them go just because of that.

Wandering ferocious beasts soon discovered Shaman.

Shaman couldn't escape, so he could only endure the beasts' attacks head-on.

Though he could kill one, another would come; the dangers of the journey of death are endless, Shaman couldn't leave Ye Liuyun, had little time to rest, yet he persisted.

Dealing with ferocious beasts is relatively simple; a more terrifying opponent is a person.

Two soldiers wearing Leader uniforms discovered Shaman and approached him.

They clearly noticed Ye Liuyun was in an epiphany state, and an exhausted Shaman was obviously unable to stop them.

"Shaman, we really haven't seen each other in a long time!"

However, these two obviously were wary of Shaman and didn't dare to attack right away.

Upon seeing the two, Shaman also felt bitter inside.

He glanced at Ye Liuyun, who had not yet come to his senses, and silently lamented: "You really picked a terrible moment for this epiphany!"

He held a crystal stone in his hand, trying to absorb it, straightened his body, and struck a disdainful pose: "Zhou Tong, Liang Yuan, you two still teamed up?"

"Hehe, yeah, we just happened to run into each other.

"What are you up to?"

Zhou Tong was dealing with him while probing Shaman's situation.

"Don't you see I'm guarding my friend?"

Shaman said impatiently.

If these two had seen Shaman before, they would surely not dare provoke him, but now they are two people, and there are no rules here; although they still worry a bit, they didn't leave immediately.

They listened to Shaman's words and also looked toward Ye Liuyun.

"Is he in an epiphany state?"

Liang Yuan is also knowingly a consultant.

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"Even an idiot can see that! You two should go do your own business, don't hinder me here!"

Shaman wasn't polite to these two at all, directly driving them away.

"Look what you're saying; we're both military personnel, in such a dangerous place we should help each other even more.

"One person guarding him is a lot of pressure; we can stay and help! Right, Liang Yuan?"

Zhou Tong, however, started making excuses and even asked Liang Yuan.

"Yeah! Helping each other is what we should do!"

Liang Yuan also followed suit in agreement.

Seeing these two loafing around with grinning faces, refusing to leave, Shaman grew even more anxious.

One can guess what these two are thinking just by looking at their expressions.

If they stay, then when he later deals with the ferocious beasts, these two will surely take the chance to sneak attack him.

The reason they haven't openly attacked yet is because they worry he might have the strength to resist.

"So you two want to linger here?"

Shaman also didn't hesitate, immediately issuing threats.

"If they don't leave, he must immediately act to drive them away."

But his remaining True Essence is also scant, and he lacks confidence he can handle the two of them.

Seeing Shaman grip his spear tightly, Zhou Tong knew he was preparing to act, and immediately said: "Don't be nervous! Since you don't need our help, we'll just leave!"

Liang Yuan also saw Shaman's aura surging, but he wanted to team up with Zhou Tong to directly attack Shaman.

"Going, going!"

Zhou Tong, however, forcibly dragged Liang Yuan away.

Seeing that the two of them had left, Shalman finally relaxed a little.

"What are you doing?"

"We two still can't handle even one of him?"

After Liang Yuan was pulled away by Zhou Tong, he felt very dissatisfied and immediately sent a Transmission Voice to Zhou Tong to inquire.

Zhou Tong laughed, "Why bother to clash with him directly! What if he has the strength to fight us to the death?"

"We should keep a safe distance and see how his combat power is."

"Once his strength wanes, we can easily deal with him then!"

"Anyway, he's guarding a person, so he won't leave here."

"We can just watch him from nearby; he can't do anything to us."

"Hmm! That could work."

"He's usually so arrogant; finally we have a chance to deal with him!"

Liang Yuan also agreed.

So the two of them didn't go far before stopping, brazenly keeping watch on Shalman.

Shalman immediately guessed their intention.

But he only glanced at Ye Liuyun and tightened his grip on the long spear in his hand.

"I will definitely do my best to protect you.

But whether you survive depends on your luck!"

Shalman muttered that and prepared for battle again.

Ye Liuyun's blade intent was continuously rising at this moment, and even Shalman beside him could feel the domineering blade intent emanating from him.

Shalman knew he must not be disturbed at the crucial moment; he could only interrupt him when he himself persisted to the very last instant.

Soon, two wild wolves set their sights on Shalman.

"Damn, still two!"

Shalman cursed, and could only meet the fight, raising his spear to charge.

But once he fought, Zhou Tong and Liang Yuan in the distance immediately saw his lack of True Essence.

Shalman's tactic was clearly to conserve True Essence, preparing to counterattack while defending.

"Hmph, still trying to pretend with us, he's about to lose his stamina!"

Zhou Tong said proudly.
