Chapter 28: Rampage (Part 1)

Just at this critical moment, a massive black shadow flashed in front of Zhang Nuo. That shadow was like a small mountain, completely blocking Zhang Nuo behind it. At the same time, the green Flying Sword in the shadow's hand also grew in an instant, and with a horizontal sweep of the blade, it caught the two giant swords that were descending.

"Boom!"

The green sword and the two giant swords collided; the sound was extremely piercing. When Zhang Nuo saw clearly who was blocking in front of him, his eyes grew moist. This person was none other than Gao Dakuan. He had arrived at Zhang Nuo's side in a flash, using his own Magic Treasure Flying Sword to take the Zhao Brothers' attack head-on.

However, with Gao Dakuan's strength, taking the attacks of both opponents head-on like this was truly strenuous. The moment he caught their giant swords, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth.

Turning his head back to look at the uninjured Zhang Nuo, he still forced a smile onto his face.

"Are you alright! Junior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

Zhang Nuo shouted loudly, tears streaming from his eyes. From the day he entered the sect, Gao Dakuan had cared for him deeply. From food, clothing, housing, and transportation, to the teaching of cultivation techniques, there was nothing that Gao Dakuan hadn't done for him. In name, Zhang Nuo was Lin Fan's disciple, but in reality, it was this Senior Brother who handled many things.

Zhang Nuo's feelings for Gao Dakuan were no longer limited to those between fellow disciples; Gao Dakuan was more like his older brother, thinking of everything for him. If not for Gao Dakuan appearing in time today, he would have long since become a soul under someone else's sword!

Looking at the Senior Brother from whose mouth blood continuously flowed, Zhang Nuo felt not only pain in his heart but also remorse! He hated himself for being so incompetent, and for why it was always his Senior Brother rushing in front of him to shield him from the wind and rain!

"Thump!"

After taking the Zhao Brothers' attack, Gao Dakuan's body knelt halfway to the ground, and his Flying Sword dropped lifelessly to his side.

To block the strike aimed at Zhang Nuo, Gao Dakuan had held nothing back, even using up his protective Spiritual Qi. This left his body completely exposed to the opponent's fierce attack without any cover. If not for his sturdy physique, he likely would have lost his life long ago under the joint attack of two Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators!

Zhang Nuo ran up quickly and grabbed Gao Dakuan in an embrace. At this moment, Gao Dakuan's body was ice-cold, and even he could clearly hear the "thump-thump" of his heartbeat!

Seeing that their attack had succeeded, the Zhao Brothers were very smug. Controlling their Magic Treasures, they were about to launch a second round of attacks. Gao Dakuan was now like an ordinary person, with no ability to fight back at all; it was the perfect time to strike a lethal blow.

But just at this moment, a Golden Ring appeared abruptly behind the Zhao Brothers. The ring spun rapidly and, without the slightest hesitation, smashed toward the back of Zhao Yingyong.

"Big Brother, watch out!"

Zhao Yingjie shouted a warning. Too late to finish off Gao Dakuan and Zhang Nuo, the two turned simultaneously, and their two giant Flying Swords slashed toward the Golden Ring.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the Golden Ring was slashed into several pieces and fell to the ground, having lost all its Spiritual Qi. The young girl in pink who had launched the ring felt her mind tremble violently; with her Magic Treasure destroyed, her body also suffered a certain impact.

"Hehe! Go to hell!"

Zhao Yingjie gave a cold, mocking laugh. With one hand, he pointed at the girl in pink, and his giant sword, as if it had eyes, flew directly toward her to slash.

Seeing the situation was bad, the girl immediately sacrificed the Small Shield from before, and the Small Shield grew instantly to block in front of her.

"Boom!"

Under the strike, the girl and the Small Shield were both sent flying. A trail of blood flowed from the corner of the girl's mouth. The force of the blow just now was immense, and countless cracks appeared on the Small Shield. If it came again, this Small Shield would certainly shatter!

Seeing Gao Dakuan in danger, the girl had rushed to save him in her anxiety, but who would have thought that two Magic Treasures would be destroyed in succession? A sense of despair slowly rose in the girl's heart.

"It's over!"

The girl said to herself in her heart, while her gaze turned toward Zhang Nuo and Gao Dakuan. If these two hadn't come out to help her, they likely wouldn't have ended up in this state.

"Haha! It would have been better to hand over the items earlier; why suffer like this now!"

Seeing that the girl in pink was also injured, the Zhao Brothers were immediately delighted. Now, apart from the kid at the Qi Refining Stage Level 6 who wasn't injured, the two Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators were both severely wounded. Their goal was about to be achieved.

"Big Brother, this Song Er Xiaojie is quite good-looking too. How about we... first, and then kill her!"

Zhao Yingjie wore a lewd grin, his gaze already falling upon the girl's heaving bosom as he spoke.

"Hehe, I have the same intention! Since we went to such great lengths, let her 'repay' us!"

Zhao Yingyong also laughed coldly with malicious intent.

The meaning behind their words was something only a fool wouldn't understand. The girl in pink's face changed drastically; if she truly fell into their hands, it would be better to just die!

Holding the unconscious and weakly breathing Gao Dakuan in his arms, Zhang Nuo heard what the Zhao Brothers said, and a fire of nameless rage surged in his heart. They had not only hurt his Senior Brother, but now they wouldn't even let a single living soul escape.

"Kill these two men first, then we can slowly enjoy Song Er Xiaojie!"

Zhao Yingyong's gaze turned cold as he looked at Gao Dakuan and Zhang Nuo on the ground.

"Fine! Let me!"

Zhao Yingjie waved one hand, and the giant Flying Sword slashed toward Gao Dakuan and Zhang Nuo. Zhang Nuo narrowed his eyes, the rage in his heart burning to the top of his head. He was unwilling to die like this, and he didn't want to die just like this. His parents' great vengeance had not yet been avenged; he could not die!

The Spiritual Pressure coming from the giant sword was suffocating. He felt as if the blood in his body could no longer withstand the pressure and was about to break through the barrier of his skin and spray out. The threat of death struck again, and Zhang Nuo shouted crazily in his heart: I cannot die! I cannot die! I will kill you! I will kill you!
