C54 (1/2)

In fact, all of this happened in the blink of an eye. From Yin Zhijie using ”Sky Rain Star Fragment” to Li Sicong using his sword to break it, all of it happened in a single move.

Li Sicong just realized that his own heavy sword had already cracked, and in the next second, the entire sword shattered, Yin Zhijie's sword was already thrusting towards his chest, Li Sicong had no time to react at all.

Just as Yin Zhijie's long sword was about to strike Li Sicong, a black shadow suddenly appeared in between them. With a ”pu” sound, Yin Zhijie's longsword disappeared into the black shadow.

The black shadow was none other than the white-haired old man who had been fighting with Li Xuanren, Jin Wuyu.

He had long realized that Li Sicong was actually not Yin Zhijie's match. However, both of their strengths should be around the same, so Li Sicong wouldn't lose out in the short term. Thus, he approached the two of them intentionally as he fought.

As expected, just as Jin Wujing thought, after a long time, Li Sicong had already revealed his defeat. On the other hand, looking at Yin Zhijie, it looked as if he had complete confidence in him.

The reason why Yan Nantian was able to become the strongest of the thirty-six sects was mainly because he had broken through the limitations of the Sect Master's Golden Seal martial arts and created his own set of Martial Skill — — One Sword in the Sky.

From the side, Jin Wuyu observed that from the moment Yin Zhijie fought with Li Sicong, he had always been using the Martial Skill. As Yan Nantian's most beloved disciple, and the person who was most likely to take over the position of the East Astral Sect's Sect Master, Yan Nantian had no reason not to give him his strongest Martial Skill. Presumably, Yin Zhijie had already planned to use it as his last trump card from the very beginning.

Therefore, as soon as Yin Zhijie changed his move, Jin Wuliang knew that things were going to go wrong. Therefore, he ditched Liu Xuan Ren and the centurions who were fighting with him and flew to stand between the two of them.

The might of Yan Nantian's self-created Southern Sky Sword naturally could not be underestimated. Even if Yin Zhijie's flames were not strong enough and he could only use one of ”Sky Rain Star Fragment”, its power was still very strong. A burning pain first appeared behind Jin Wuxian's back, then he heard the sound of his bones breaking, and then there was no longer any feeling.

Jin Wuxiang felt a sweet sensation in his heart, and he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood. He quickly circulated his Essence and forcefully suppressed the blood. If he vomited blood at this moment, it would undoubtedly mean that his injuries were serious. If that was the case, his side, which was originally at a disadvantage, might really die here.

With his back facing Yin Zhijie, Jin Wuyu secretly made a gesture to signal Li Sicong, who was still in a state of shock. Seeing that, Li Sicong immediately understood what Jin Wu Que meant. Thus, he hastily let out a whistle, turned around, and ran off into the distance without looking back.

After hearing Li Sicong's whistle, the people who were fighting with the Escort Regiment swept their opponents with a strong gust of wind, created from their vitality, almost at the same time. With that said, all of them ran in the direction Li Sicong had left in.

When Sun Xueshan saw that these people did not hesitate to dig out all the Natal Elemental Energy s that they had accumulated and knew that they wanted to escape, his confidence immediately soared. He shouted loudly, ”Don't let them escape, chase them, don't let any one of them escape.”

As soon as Sun Xueshan finished his sentence, Jin Wuyuan sneered and said, ”How can it be so easy to chase him? Take this move of mine first.”

As he stood in the way, the soft iron whip in his hand suddenly rotated at a high speed. As the iron whip rotated, countless golden specks of light burst out from the soft whip.

”What, you can actually burn Natal Elemental Energy!”

After Sun Xueshan exclaimed in shock, he hurriedly shouted, ”Everyone, quickly retreat!”
