Chapter 369: The Broken Blade

Chapter 369: The Broken Blade

At this moment, the world in Deng Yutang's eyes seemed to slow down, as if in slow motion.

Deng Yuxiang, spitting out fresh blood.

The Night Slash Great Saber, desperately pushing its master and carrying her to flee.

And the falling Northern Wind Great Sword.

Deng Yutang was in a daze, his body feeling weak.

Is she going to die?

His family member, is she going to die under this sword? Bai Man Ni tightly hugged her boyfriend, closing her eyes, afraid to look.

"Lu," Hu Jiaojiao took a step forward, her face filled with fear and joy.

For a moment, she truly believed that it was time to collect the body of her good friend.

When skill is inferior, there's nothing more to say.

But Hu Jiaojiao couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart, and even felt a hint of resentment.

Why?

Why fight to the point of exhaustion, why not surrender?

Grandpa had just said: There's always a group of people who would rather die than surrender.

Why bother?

In the face of life, is everything else really that important?

It's truly... Ah, maybe.

The ill-fated Great Xia, standing tall amidst the storms until now, is precisely because of groups of people who would rather die than surrender.

The magnificent camellia, in the end, still bravely went to battle, proudly blooming, fighting until the final chapter.

Fortunately, he was there.

He said she wouldn't die.

She won't die.

"Ah!!!"

"Who is it?"

"That is..." From all around the pine forest, exclamations of surprise rang out.

Including Hu Jiaojiao, many Northern Wind followers saw the swiftly darting shadow.

Is that the Celestial Hoof Technique?

Is that a follower of the Immortal Sheep Sect?

Quick,

It's too fast!

So fast that it could snatch a life from the grip of death, right under the swift slash of the Northern Wind Great Sword!

The Divine Armament - Night Slash Great Saber, just a moment ago, was in a state of extreme anxiety, almost on the verge of despair.

The next moment, it felt an immense force rushing towards it! A figure hugged its master, and together with the saber, they rushed in another direction.

And above their heads, the Northern Wind Great Sword, constantly adjusting its angle and swiftly slashing down, heavily cleaved into the ground!

"Boom!"

The earth shook, and the mountains trembled!

A fierce gust of wind, carrying frost and snow, swept towards both sides.

"Whoosh!"

Under the terrifying wind, pine trees were snapped, and the sound of cracking filled the air.

In just one slash!

The earth was split open, and the scene was so spectacular that it resembled a heavenly chasm.

On both sides of the chasm, the pine forest was flattened! The Northern Wind disciples in the forest were thrown out one after another, and screams continuously echoed.

A problem emerged!

Lu Ran was not far from the chasm.

But he was just holding the 'blood man' in his arms, staggering, and he wasn't blown away.

This...?

In the pine forest, the elder beside Hu Jiaojiao closed his eyes and listened carefully.

He slightly furrowed his brows, almost imperceptibly.

At the same time, high in the sky.

"You!!!" Liao Wushuang's eyes widened in shock! At the critical moment, relying on her absolute strength and the assistance of the Divine Armament, she moved horizontally by over ten meters, narrowly avoiding Deng Yuxiang's Northern Wind Great Sword.

As for being controlled by the cyclone,

It's not that Liao Wushuang was imprisoned by the storm, but rather that she was going with the flow, luring the enemy to attack.

Even the Night Slash Great Saber could pierce through the cyclone, carrying Deng Yuxiang and stabbing out several meters.

Liao Wushuang's Divine Armament could naturally accomplish this more easily.

But what she didn't expect was that someone would dare to stir up trouble and disrupt the situation?

Liao Wushuang watched as Deng Yuxiang suffered a severe injury and was about to shatter the sword and die.

As a result, Deng Yuxiang was rescued?

"How dare you!"

Liao Wushuang's eyes were filled with murderous intent! She tightly gripped the ring-handled saber and fiercely slashed down! The Divine Armament Domain, activate!

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

"Sizzle"

Below, in the martial arena, beside the Northern Wind Great Sword.

Countless saber energies appeared out of thin air, frantically tearing at everything.

The Immortal Mist beneath Lu Ran's feet churned, and he swiftly darted about, rushing and stopping abruptly.

With one arm holding the 'blood man', he retreated and advanced, swaying from side to side.

Saber energies from various angles rained down on him.

The youth, trapped within the domain, quickly moved away from the center.

But Lu Ran, after all, was carrying a person, and under such an intense Divine Armament Domain, it was impossible to escape unscathed.

From time to time, he used his body as a shield! All saber energies that couldn't be dodged were endured by him.

"Crack! Crack! Crack..."

The sound of the saber body being torn apart kept coming.

The Night Slash Great Saber was about 2.8 meters long, and its attack surface was too wide.

Whenever a saber energy slightly grazed it, it would be sent flying.

"Night Slash..." Deng Yuxiang's eyes reddened.

Two lines of clear tears washed over her blood-stained face.

"Crack! Crack!"

The Night Slash Great Saber bounced around, being slashed back and forth by the saber energies, and pieces of it shattered.

"Huff~"

Suddenly, the Night Slash Saber Spirit appeared.

She had a similar appearance to Deng Yuxiang, and she looked at her master's back, a smile appearing on her face.

It was a smile of relief.

This battle was never solely Deng Yuxiang's decision.

Facing the challenge,

The Night Slash Saber Spirit was far more persistent than Deng Yuxiang!

Now,

After fighting to the death, it would be like this.

"Night Slash... Pfft." The fresh blood that Deng Yuxiang coughed up stained Lu Ran's shoulder red.

"Crack!!"

The Night Slash Great Saber, covered in cracks, was cut in half by a saber energy! The spiritual connection between the Divine Armament and its master was severed.

Deng Yuxiang's eyes lost focus, and she allowed herself to be held by Lu Ran, as he darted left and right.

A crisp 'pa' sound rang out.

Lu Ran suddenly lunged forward by over ten meters, daringly grabbing the handle of the Night Slash Great Saber.

To be precise,

It was a broken blade.

The hilt had been shaved off by half, and the remaining half of the blade was covered in cracks.

"Sizzle!"

Lu Ran, who had acted rashly, paid the price! His sleeve was instantly torn, and his forearm was slashed, leaving a gash.

The Water Flow Armor on Lu Ran's body, after being damaged and shattered, naturally needed some time to regroup.

"Stop! Cease the battle!!!" Hu Jiaojiao shouted, "Someone has broken the rules!

Liao Senior, stop first!"

Stop?

Liao Wushuang's face turned extremely cold.

Do you want me to stop? As long as Deng Yuxiang lives, I won't rest easy!

And that person who suddenly appeared, daring to rescue her, I don't care who you are, you're dead either way!

You want to save someone from my blade? You're truly fearless!

Then go ahead and be buried with her!

"Huff!"

Not only did Liao Wushuang not stop, but she increased her strength.

With one hand extended, she unleashed a cyclone that directly swept under Lu Ran's feet.

Hu Jiaojiao's face stiffened!

You should know that the Divine Armament Domain was still in effect.

Lu Ran, carrying Deng Yuxiang, dodged the dense and numerous sword energies, already on the brink of life and death.

Now, Liao Wushuang had unleashed another cyclone?!

In such terrifying wind and waves, how could Lu Ran stabilize his body?

A single misstep, a slight mistake, and there would be no return!

"Ssss!"

"Liao Senior is truly enraged, she's going all out!"

"No mercy, she's going to kill them both."

"Hmph, why show mercy? It was that person who broke the rules, disrupting the life-and-death duel. If you dare to step into the arena, be prepared to face the consequences!"

"Is this Immortal Sheep believer Lu Ran?"

"It must be him! Apart from the Great Xia's number one Heavenly Elite, no other Immortal Sheep believer has such genuine skills."

"Damn, could it really be Lu Ran?"

"Huh?"

The Northern Wind disciples couldn't be sure because the Martial Arena was in chaos.

The Northern Wind Great Sword, which had been cut down earlier, had stirred up violent wind and waves.

Although the snow on the ground was blown away, there was even more dust, debris, and dirt.

The Northern Wind disciples, whose vision was obscured, could only continue to listen.

But as they listened, they felt something was amiss.

"Grandpa!" Hu Jiaojiao hurriedly grabbed the elder's arm, "Quickly stop Liao Senior, take control of the situation!"

The Hu City Lord abruptly raised his hand, silencing Hu Jiaojiao's words.

This high and mighty Hu City Lord usually kept his emotions in check.

His expressionless face only occasionally revealed a loving smile when facing his granddaughter.

But at this moment, the elder's face was grave, his eyebrows tightly furrowed!

The elder slightly tilted his head, obviously straining to listen, as if confirming something.

The Hu City Lord's authority was awe-inspiring, and even his beloved granddaughter dared not act rashly.

Hu Jiaojiao had no choice but to use her powers to listen as well.

The next moment, Hu Jiaojiao's face completely changed!

What...?

What was this?

Lu Ran, holding Deng Yuxiang, was actually walking step by step in the River Grade Northern Wind Roar?!

Lu Ran wasn't blown away by the cyclone, nor was he caught in the wind and waves, constantly spinning.

Although he stumbled, he managed to dodge the sword energies and walk out of the cyclone!

Hu Jiaojiao was completely stunned!

Liao Wushuang was also stunned!

Every Northern Wind disciple with a bit of strength was dumbfounded.

Why?!

Even the River Realm Master Deng Yuxiang had to rely on the assistance of a Divine Weapon, and with their combined efforts, they barely escaped the cyclone's control.

Why could this Immortal Sheep believer do this?

Because Lu Ran was the Demon Sovereign, and under his command was a powerful Evil Sculpture—the Savage Nuba!

The Savage Nuba's Evil Perception Spell—Savage Power!

This spell could amplify the caster's strength, and this power was drawn from the earth.

The Savage Clan was closely connected to the earth, suppressing various techniques.

They feared neither lightning,

nor could they laugh wildly and stand firm in the midst of raging winds!

Recalling the past, when Lu Ran first encountered the Savage Nuba, he faced her alongside the blood-soaked person in his arms.

That Savage Nuba had once laughed loudly within the cyclone created by Deng Yuxiang.

If even a servant could be so bold, what about the Demon Sovereign?

If it weren't for the fact that the Savage Nuba's Evil Sculpture was in the River Realm at this moment, only able to display the River Level Savage Power, Lu Ran wouldn't even be able to walk steadily!

Of course, his progress was also aided by two other powerful assistants!

The Radiant Blade and the Night Silence Sword!

These two Divine Weapons, one on each side, flanked Lu Ran, moving with his thoughts and helping their master stabilize his body.

"Wow! Is it really Lu Ran?"

"Huh?"

"The Great Xia's Heavenly Elite! The number one Heavenly Elite of the Great Xia!"

"I knew it! Who else could have such style, rescuing Senior Disciple Jade from the sword mountains and fire seas?"

"He broke the rules!"

"So badass! What the hell?"

"Damn! With the Divine Armament Domain and the Northern Wind Roar, he just broke through?"

"Stop, Liao Senior, it's Lu Ran!"

As Lu Ran dodged the sword energies and stepped out of the cyclone, the entire arena erupted.

Shouts of surprise rose from all directions.

Liao Wushuang's face turned extremely ugly.

Lu Ran had walked out?!

Under the gaze of everyone's disbelief, he had walked out!

At this moment, Lu Ran was still dodging the sword energies!

However, he had already moved far from the center of the Divine Armament Domain, and the number and frequency of sword energies had decreased significantly.

His graceful figure contrasted with his disheveled appearance, creating a stark contradiction.

Lu Ran, with the blood-soaked person in his arms, had bloodstains all over his clothes.

His down jacket was torn and tattered, and his body was covered in sword wounds.

"Wushuang," said the elder standing in the snow forest.

High in the sky, Liao Wushuang tightly gripped the ring-handled saber, her body trembling.

"Liao Wushuang," the elder said again, his voice low.

Suddenly,

The sword energies disappeared, and the raging winds abruptly ceased.

Lu Ran, covered in sword wounds, stood still, holding Deng Yuxiang, who was drenched in blood.

On his right cheek, there was a visible wound that exposed the white bone of his cheekbone.

Blood continued to gush out.

Inside and outside the Martial Arena, there was complete silence.

Lu Ran's expression was blank. His left arm encircled Deng Yuxiang, and his palm rested on the back of her head, burying her face in his shoulder.

In his right hand, he held a broken blade.

He slowly raised his right hand and wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand:

"Lu Ran,

I have met with all the elders of the Human Race!"
