Chapter 28

Boom! The white-robed Yan Jin wielded a sword in each hand . He stood in front as his two swords transformed into the symbol for Yin and Yang—forming a vortex to block the stones .

Yan Jin blocked almost half of the stones covered in the green aura .

Flanking Yan Jin, the old servant—who was at the Seamless realm—and Meng Chuan blocked the remaining stones .

We blocked them! Meng Chuan cultivated a Lightning Divine Body, and his speed was extraordinarily fast . His saber instantly transformed into a blur as he blocked multiple rocks, but he still found it extremely demanding on his body . The old servant who used a soft sword had power at the Seamless realm, but even he was struggling as well . In contrast, Yan Jin’s every single strike was incomparably powerful, and he hadn’t seemed to use any effort to block half the stones alone .

Liu Qiyue—who was protected in the rear—did not hesitate to take out a distress flare and quickly activated it .

Boom!

With a loud bang, the flare flew into the sky with great speed .

“Quick, retreat!” Meng Chuan hurriedly roared because the hunchbacked man—who had casually tossed the stones—had already charged over .

Liu Qiyue held Ironborn with one hand and carried the other girl with the other as she charged out .

“Hahaha, to have such strength at the Mortal Shedding realm? It looks like I’ve caught a big one!” The hunchbacked man’s laughter echoed in Idle Stone Garden . He had already charged straight for Yan Jin! He was clearly the strongest, considering how he had blocked dozens of stones .

“Young Master!” The old servant slashed his sword forward, the soft sword curved and stabbed at the hunched man’s eyes .

The hunched man’s body blurred slightly . The strike only hit the hunchbacked man’s back . It barely pierced his skin before his muscles blocked it .

Whoosh . The hunchbacked man struck out with his claw that was covered with a thick green demonic aura . Unable to dodge in time, Yan Jin had no choice but to hold up both swords to block .

The claw struck the two swords .

Boom!

A terrifying power Yan Jin had no way of withstanding, surged into him from his swords .

Even though he was good at redirecting power and had the Icefire Divine Body—which was good at using the Yin-Yang Deflection—the strength difference was too great! He was sent flying backward by the strike, slamming into the wall behind him . The Idle Stone Garden walls were instantly smashed apart, causing Yan Jin to fall onto the streets . He was covered in rubble . One of his swords was flung into the air .

1The hunchbacked man didn’t care about the others as he only stared at Yan Jin in a bid to kill him .

Yan Jin felt pain all over his body . His bones were fractured in several areas, and he had lost feeling in his arms . He wanted to get up, but he couldn’t control his body .

Too powerful! The difference was too great!

“Hahaha…” The hunchbacked man gave an ear-piercing laugh and charged over .

“Young Master . ” The old servant wanted to catch up, but his speed was ultimately slower . His eyes couldn’t help but show anger .

“Cough, cough . ” Yan Jin coughed out blood .

Am I going to die here? I really can’t accept this . Yan Jin’s vision was a little blurry . As he watched the hunchbacked man charge over, an even faster blur shot out from the side . A saber formed a beautiful arc, and the hunchbacked man was unable to dodge .

1Saber technique—Swaying Moonfall!

In terms of Godfiend foundations, Yan Jin’s foundation was just on par with Meng Chuan’s even though he was born with tremendous strength, and had consumed rare, treasured herbs while cultivating his Godfiend body . They were simply skilled in different aspects .

Meng Chuan, who cultivated a Lightning Divine Body, focused on his movement techniques and swift saber . His advantage was in speed! He was faster than most Seamless realm experts, and he was even faster than the hunchbacked man .

Human traitor from the Skydemon Sect! A murderous look flashed in Meng Chuan’s eyes . His blood boiled as lightning flowed through his body, increasing his astonishing speed even further . Meng Chuan knew very well that he was unable to deal with this terrifying Skydemon Sect expert! Therefore, he had slashed at his opponent’s leg . He wanted to injure his opponent’s leg to slow him down . Only then would they have a chance of escaping .

“Swift saber arts and ingenious moves . As expected of a genius from the Meng family . ” The hunchbacked man finally slowed down as his left hand swiped out .

Clang!

His strike was bizarre and fast, easily blocking the saber beam .

Seeing the situation turning south, Meng Chuan immediately retreated—an arc beam streaking out from his saber as he did so . There was a cold look in the hunchbacked man’s eyes . “You are even more dangerous than that white-robed youth . Have a taste of my Finger of Extermination . ” He suddenly flicked his right hand . One of his fingernails blasted out and shot towards the fleeing Meng Chuan .

1“Commendable movement techniques, but you will still die . ” The hunchbacked man was very confident . His fingernails were his most powerful weapon . It would take a month for him to regenerate one of them . However, once he unleashed his full power, it would be extremely terrifying . This move was enough to kill ordinary Seamless realm experts .

2No good .

The black fingernail—covered with green mist—was simply too fast .

Meng Chuan could only use his sword to block it by instinct—honed from blocking arrows every day . When facing death, the unity of his body, mind, and technique allowed him to use more of his potential .

His saber blocked the black fingernail . The moment they collided, a terrifying demonic aura contained within the black fingernail exploded out! This exquisite saber move had shifted the black fingernail’s trajectory, diverting most of the demonic aura away .

However, some of the demonic aura traveled down the saber and into Meng Chuan’s body .

Boom!

He felt his body spasm as he was flung away . He instantly lost feeling in his right hand that had held his saber . Blood sprayed from his mouth as he fell to the ground .

1The impact was one thing . What was even more frightening was the thick demon aura that had invaded Meng Chuan’s body . It was excruciating painful .

“Ah Chuan . ” The distant Liu Qiyue had already pulled out her bow and arrow from the quiver on her back . Gritting her teeth, she immediately drew her bow and shot at the hunchbacked man .

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Arrows shot out one after another .

“None of you can escape . All of you have to die . ” The hunchbacked man completely ignored the arrows . No matter how the arrows landed on him, they were unable to pierce his skin! Liu Qiyue’s arrows were too weak . After all, she had just stepped into the Mortal Shedding realm and had yet to reach the Unity realm . Her Godfiend foundation wasn’t strong enough either . If it were an ordinary Seamless realm expert, they might have to be careful when dealing with her . However, the Skydemon Sect expert completely ignored her .

Oh? The hunchbacked man’s expression suddenly changed, and his body blurred .

Swoosh .

A sword beam passed through the spot where he was . It was the old servant .

At that moment, a stream of water swirled around the old servant’s body like tiny snakes . The old servant’s aura was much stronger, but his skin and eyes were red .

“Godblood Pills?” The hunchbacked man was rather surprised . He looked at the elder . “The Eastcalm Prefecture actually has Godblood Pills? It seems like you and your young master have powerful backgrounds . ”

“Miss Liu, take my young master and Young Master Meng Chuan with you,” shouted the old servant angrily . “I will hold him back . ”

“Alright . ” Liu Qiyue immediately ran over . She first slung Meng Chuan over her back and dashed to Yan Jin .

Yan Jin had a very high recovery rate, and he had already stood up . “I can walk by myself . ”

“Seek help first . ” Meng Chuan used all his strength to expel the demonic aura in his body . At the same time, he spoke in a hoarse voice as he took out a distress flare .

Boom!

Yan Jin received the flare and activated it, sending the flare into the sky . He then sent his own distress flare into the sky .

“Both of you hurry up and leave!” Liu Qiyue bellowed angrily at the nearby Red Rain and Ironborn . The two siblings were worried about their saviors, but they nodded and immediately ran off into the distance . As for the other women and Black Wolf Gang, they had long fled in terror . The further they were from this terrifying battle, the better . Even so, over ten of them had been implicated—they were either dead or crippled .

Meanwhile .

After consuming the Godblood Pill, the old servant’s strength multiplied by several times and had already begun clashing with the hunchbacked man . The hunchbacked man had immense strength, and his body was seemingly invulnerable . Every move he made was abnormally terrifying . The old servant was at a complete disadvantage, but he was extremely resilient and continued to hold the hunchbacked man back .

Booms ensued from the exchange of blows, and the surrounding walls were reduced to rubble .

Swish! Swish! Swish!

“Uncle Wang can’t hold him for long . Let’s go, quick,” said Yan Jin . Liu Qiyue also ran off with Meng Chuan on her back .

“Let’s go . ” Meng Chuan that they would only be burdens if they stayed behind . Only after they had escaped, could the loyal servant flee .

…

When Liu Qiyue sent out the distress flare, it had attracted the attention of many people in Eastcalm Prefecture . It stood out at night .

Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai were eating in a private room at a restaurant . Through the window, they saw the flare’s trail in the sky and the explosion .

“It’s Qiyue . ” The two immediately recognized the flare . These distress flares were specially created for juniors . Just by looking at the shape of the fireworks, one could discern who had sent out the distress signal .

“Qiyue is requesting help?” Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai were both shocked .

Swoosh!

Liu Yebai immediately morphed into black mist and jumped out of the window .

Meng Dajiang’s blood boiled as he transformed into a black beam of light, and shot out the restaurant .

However, just seconds after they rushed out—

Bang! Bang!

Another two flares .

“It’s Chuan’er!” Meng Dajiang shouted anxiously .
