Chapter 100: Chen Pu Self-Destructs, Tingsue Dies

"Master..."

Seeing Yan Xiao leave, Wang Dazhu faced the Chen Family members alone and could not help but feel afraid in his heart.

After rolling his eyes at the Chen Family members, he hurriedly ran back into the formation.

It was safer inside here after all.

On the field.

Chen Pu had already attacked with a sword, and Luo Cang fought back with all his might, but his cultivation was ultimately insufficient. Chen Pu's sword Qi was fierce, shaking his arm until it went numb, and the sword Qi was still penetrating; several gashes had already appeared on Luo Cang's arm. If this continued, Luo Cang would certainly be severely injured.

"Go to hell!" Chen Pu sneered, his left hand suddenly forming a sword seal, using a backhand to control the sword, and thrusting it violently toward Luo Cang's chest.

"My life is over!" Luo Cang sighed to himself; he could not block this sword. He closed his eyes in unwillingness, feeling deep regret.

If he had been given a few more days to fully master the sword technique, then Chen Pu would certainly not have been his match.

"Ah!" Seeing this scene, the members of the Shengjian Sect were all horrified, and the female disciples painfully closed their eyes, not daring to look.

The Chen Family members, however, revealed a smile of victory.

"You dare to touch my people? You must be looking for death!"

At the critical moment, just as Chen Pu's Flying Sword was about to pierce Luo Cang's chest, Yan Xiao suddenly appeared and knocked away Chen Pu's rapidly shooting Flying Sword with one strike. Then, gripping his sword with both hands, he swept it out, using exquisite technique to avoid Luo Cang and slashed Chen Pu's body.

"Puchi!"

Chen Pu's abdomen was struck by the Black Sword, and a deep wound appeared, with fresh blood streaming out.

Fear Value from Chen Pu +1000.

"Grand Elder!"

The Chen Family members were greatly shocked. They had seen Yan Xiao move, but they did not expect his moves to be so strange and swift. Before they could even see clearly, Chen Pu was already severely injured.

Fear Value from the Chen Family members +3000.

Yan Xiao did not let up after gaining the advantage and slashed out with his sword again; this time, he aimed for Chen Pu's throat.

He had not expected that a super-strong attack bolstered by 30,000 Fear Value would fail to kill Chen Pu in one blow. The defense of the Spirit Void Peak was indeed astonishing.

However, Chen Pu had been struck by the Black Sword and had already lost his ability to fight.

Just now, he had suddenly felt a powerful sense of crisis and used all his True Qi for defense; now, his True Essence was exhausted, and he was at the end of his rope. With Yan Xiao's Flying Sword attacking, he had absolutely no room to fight back.

"Audacious!"

"Spare him!"

By this time, the Chen Family members finally reacted and one after another unleashed their signature skills, attacking toward Yan Xiao.

Yan Xiao sneered, ignoring the attacks from behind, and shouted to Luo Cang, "Elder Luo Cang, I leave them to you."

"Yes! Sect Master." Having survived a disaster, Luo Cang's realization of life and death was elevated once more. At this moment, his fighting spirit was at its peak, and feeling the overwhelming magical attacks coming his way, he was not afraid in the slightest.

He pointed his sword tip a hundred times in rapid succession, and countless sword shadows appeared before him. The sword shadows were impenetrable, as if isolating the entire sky. The magical attacks launched by the Chen Family members were all blocked outside by him.

He had bought time for Yan Xiao.

Seeing the Black Sword coming to kill him, Chen Pu powerlessly closed his eyes, seemingly having given up the struggle.

Seeing this, Yan Xiao did not hesitate and still thrust toward his vital point.

In the world of cultivation, excessive compassion will get you killed.

"Goodbye!" Yan Xiao thought to himself.

The sword tip had already touched Chen Pu's throat; in the next second, Chen Pu would die.

Suddenly, Chen Pu opened his eyes wide and sneered at Yan Xiao.

The Black Sword severed his throat, and Chen Pu was already doomed to die, but his smile became even more insane.

"Ding ding ding!"

The Sunglasses marked Chen Pu's dantian position, emitting a series of exclamation marks.

"Not good!"

Yan Xiao subconsciously felt uneasy, and a strong sense of crisis made his hair stand on end.

"Be careful! Quickly use all your Fear Value to protect your heart meridian; this guy is going to self-destruct." The system also became nervous. She had only slacked off for a moment, not expecting this Chen Pu to be so crazy.

A self-destruction at the Spirit Void Peak. That was equivalent to a powerful strike from a Nascent Soul Realm 2nd Layer cultivator. With Yan Xiao's current cultivation, he could never withstand that.

He was dozens of meters away from the formation, and it was obviously too late to enter it. Being hit directly by the self-destruction, even with the protection of Fear Value, would mean losing a layer of skin even if he didn't die.

Moreover, in order to kill Chen Pu, he had already consumed quite a bit of Fear Value, and he did not have much left now.

"Let's die together!"

Chen Pu smiled cruelly; at the very end of his life, he ignited his dantian.

Self-destruction successful!

"Run!" The Chen Family members were all in a panic, using all their strength to flee desperately.

"Sect Master, run!"

"Husband, Elder Luo Cang, come in quickly!"

Feng Jingting, Luo Ying, Luosang, Luo Cang, Luo Hai, Nangong Erhu, Wang Dazhu, Ma Jianyang, Ma Xiaoyun, and other Shengjian Sect disciples were all burning with anxiety. Feng Jingting even ran toward Yan Xiao regardless of everything; she wanted to help Yan Xiao block that fatal attack, and even if she died, she would die with Yan Xiao.

"Get in!"

Yan Xiao saw her movement and shouted loudly. He kicked Luo Cang, who was behind him, sending him flying into the path of the rushing Feng Jingting.

"Boom!"

The mountain rocks shook, and dust and smoke scattered everywhere.

The entire Luoxia Mountain, except for the main peak protected by the formation, was razed to the ground in an instant.

A huge mushroom cloud appeared in the entire sky, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

"What happened?"

The entire Luoyue City was plunged into tremors; houses collapsed, and there were casualties everywhere.

"Husband!"

"Sect Master!"

Before the dust and smoke had even dispersed, the members of the Shengjian Sect were already crying out as they ran toward where Yan Xiao was located.

"Husband, you cannot be hurt!" Feng Jingting, in particular, could not stop her tears as she stumbled over toward him.

The dust and smoke dispersed.

Yan Xiao was seen kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state, holding the Black Sword in his left hand and the Divine Bow in his right, with the Golden Scale Shuttle and Green Thorn embedded in his chest.

He had utilized every magic treasure he possessed, all just to preserve his life.

At this moment, the Divine Bow was already snapped, the Golden Scale Shuttle was teetering on the verge of collapse, the Green Thorn Sleeve Sword was dim and lusterless, and even his system Flying Sword had a crack running through it.

But the most eye-catching thing was not these magic treasures, but the beautiful figure shielding Yan Xiao in front of him.

In front of Yan Xiao, a frail woman lay prone upon him, using her body to protect him.

The girl had taken the brunt of the self-detonation's impact; her back was completely caved in, and her once-fair skin had become a mass of blood and gore. A trace of blood hung from the corner of her mouth, and the blood she sprayed out dyed Yan Xiao's entire face red.

This person was none other than the female assassin—Tingxue.

Seeing the scene before them, the crowd could not help but be greatly astonished.

None of them knew how this had happened. Even Feng Jingting temporarily forgot to weep.

"Husband, are you alright?"

Feng Jingting quickly wiped away her tears, walked to Yan Xiao's side, and carefully tended to his wounds, her eyes full of heartache.

Upon seeing Yan Xiao's truly mangled arm, she could not help but cry again out of heartache.

"I am fine, do not move me," Yan Xiao said hoarsely, his voice weak, as if he might stop breathing at any moment.

"Sect Master, do not speak, quickly take this Spirit Pill." Liu Yu took out a Spirit Pill and placed it into his mouth. This was a Superior Grade Spirit Pill he had just refined today. It was just right for healing Yan Xiao's injuries.

"Leave a few people to stand guard, everyone else disperse." Luosang waved his hand, dismissing the crowd.

Too many people would affect Yan Xiao's healing.

"Ya ya!"

Chenxi flew out from the Golden Scale Shuttle; at this moment, her entire body was transparent, like a phantom, clearly having suffered heavy injuries.

She teetered as she said something to Yan Xiao.

Hearing this, Yan Xiao nodded, took out a few Attribute Pills and tossed them to her, then looked at Tingxue's face.

Tingxue's eyes were tightly shut, her breathing had ceased, and she was already dead.

Yan Xiao touched her face, recalling the look in her eyes at the final moment, and his heart was truly filled with complex emotions.

He never would have imagined that Tingxue, who had been missing for so long, would suddenly appear and suddenly block a fatal attack for him. Otherwise, even if all his magic treasures were destroyed, he might not have kept his life.

"Why go to such lengths!" Yan Xiao felt a pain in his heart. He had always believed that Tingxue was afraid of the Chen Family's might and had become a deserter. But clearly, Tingxue had not fled; she had been lingering around Luoxia Mountain all along. In the end, she had even lost her life.

Although he had treated Tingxue well, it was only out of an appreciation for her talent; he had wanted to take Tingxue in as his subordinate to work for him sincerely, with absolutely no other intentions. Yet, in that final, resentful look in Tingxue's eyes, Yan Xiao clearly sensed a different flavor.

"System, find a way to save her!" Yan Xiao wiped away his tears and said in a low voice.
