Chapter 754: A peerless expert, a chance to escape

Mei Qiqing laughed disdainfully, mocking: "Yin Tianzheng, you're at death's door, yet you still dare to talk big!"

Zhang Wuji stared coldly at Mei Qiqing: "Demon woman, you wreak havoc in the Wu Lin and slaughter the innocent; you are utterly devoid of conscience. Today, I must act on behalf of Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Mei Qiqing flew into a rage.

Yin Tianzheng said coldly: "Wuji, don't waste your breath on her, let's attack."

Zhang Wuji nodded, and the two fought side by side.

Although Yin Tianzheng was old and frail, he had been a peerless expert after all, and combined with Zhang Wuji, they managed to stall this group of Mo Sect experts for a short time.

But this certainly wasn't a long-term solution.

Yin Tianzheng said: "Wuji, you go first, I will cover your retreat."

Zhang Wuji shook his head: "We must both live, otherwise how can my parents' spirits in heaven rest in peace!"

"Nonsense," Yin Tianzheng shouted: "Have you forgotten why your parents died so miserably?"

Zhang Wuji clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth: "I don't care. I have never done anything evil in my life, only the death of my parents weighs heavily on my heart, so I cannot just give up like this."

"You bastard," Yin Tianzheng roared.

At this moment, a Mo Sect expert suddenly rushed up and thrust a sword toward Yin Tianzheng.

Yin Tianzheng hurriedly swung his blade to parry, feeling his hand go numb, nearly losing his grip on the long sword.

He was terrified; this Mo Sect member's martial arts seemed to have improved even further than before.

Yin Tianzheng retreated seven steps in a row, nearly falling over.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuji lunged forward without hesitation to share the pressure for Yin Tianzheng.

Yin Tianzheng was quick-witted and hurriedly reached out to support Zhang Wuji, stopping his momentum.

"Grandfather, you..." Zhang Wuji said in surprise.

"Wuji, run quickly, don't worry about me," Yin Tianzheng said anxiously.

"If I leave, who will protect you?" Zhang Wuji shook his head.

"I will hold them off, you go first," Yin Tianzheng pushed him.

Zhang Wuji refused; he didn't want to leave Yin Tianzheng behind. At such a critical moment, he had to stay with Yin Tianzheng.

Yin Tianzheng was pacing in a panic, but he couldn't do anything about Zhang Wuji, sweating profusely from anxiety.

Mei Qiqing smiled coldly: "Yin Tianzheng, stop struggling. You won't have a chance to escape. Today, you two, grandfather and grandson, are destined to fall at the hands of our Mo Sect."

Yin Tianzheng said: "Mei Qiqing, your Mo Sect commits countless evils; you will eventually face Heaven's retribution."

Mei Qiqing laughed heartily, her body shaking with mirth: "Heaven's retribution? Even if I die, I'll drag your whole family down with me as a cushion!"

But Mei Qiqing was too arrogant; a moment of distraction allowed Zhang Wuji to wound her with a sword strike.

Mei Qiqing's face turned vicious; she drew her long sword and slashed out, forcing Zhang Wuji back.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said coldly: "Zhang Wuji, you truly are a martial arts prodigy; in just half a year, you've mastered the 'Nine Yang Divine Art'."

Having said that, she suddenly leaped up and flew to Zhang Wuji's side.

Yin Tianzheng was scared out of his wits and immediately pulled away to flee.

Mei Qiqing watched him scramble away in panic and mocked: "Yin Tianzheng, why is your speed so slow? Today, don't even think about leaving alive."

As soon as she finished speaking, she swept her sword horizontally, forcing Zhang Wuji back, then flashed toward Yin Tianzheng.

Yin Tianzheng was shocked and hurriedly brandished his precious sword to block.

Yin Tianzheng's sword collided with Mei Qiqing's sharp blade, emitting a crisp sound, followed by a surge of immense force that sent Yin Tianzheng stumbling back several steps until he fell to the ground on his backside. ===== CHAPTER 756 =====
