Vol. 1 - Chapter 21 - Did Something Wrong
Luo Ruying did not know what to do.
It was impossible for her to take on the attacks of two Divine Being realm cultivators at their prime.
Luo Ruying had lost all hope.
At this point, the poison from the haze had reached all her organs, and she was suffering great agony, so she could not even wield her sword.
Even if she wanted to delay them, she was unable to do so.
“This must be Luo Ruying, the fairy from the Heavenly Realm that person wants. Sure enough, she’s beautiful.” Su Sheng looked at Luo Ruying in astonishment.
Seeing her alone, he frowned and looked at Old Ghost. ”Where is her kid?”
That person from the Heavenly Realm gave them a mission to bring Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye back.
That person specially instructed them to bring Luo Hongye back alive. This meant the girl was far more important than Luo Ruying.
Being questioned by Su Sheng, Old Ghost was annoyed. He pointed at the forest behind Luo Ruying and said angrily, “A mortal man took the girl and escaped into the forest.”
“Not only did you nearly get killed by a woman at the Human Immortal realm, but you even let the girl escape right before your eyes. We overestimated your abilities.” Lu Jian glanced coldly at Old Ghost without hiding his disdain in the slightest.
He was clearly unhappy that Old Ghost had let them run.
“You… Hmph!” Old Ghost was speechless. He could only snort coldly and swallow his words for now.
He was badly injured, so he did not dare to provoke Su Sheng and Lu Jian.
“Let’s take care of this woman first and chase after the kid!“ Lu Jian unsheathed the sword at his waist. A long sword light came from his sword and went straight toward Luo Ruying!
Luo Ruying watched as the sword light came toward her, but she was unable to lift her sword and could only watch the impending death.
Just as the sword light was about to touch her, a figure silently appeared in front of her.
The figure was wearing a black robe and standing with his back facing her, so Luo Ruying couldn’t see his face.
She watched the man reach out his hand and gently touch the sword light, making it instantly disappear into thin air!
Everyone was blown away by the sight before them.
It was an attack from a cultivator at the Divine Being realm, but the intruder effortlessly stopped it.
Lu Jian frowned deeply.
He was regarded as the number one Sword Saint in the world and was very talented in swordsmanship, but someone blocked his attack with a finger!
His pride would never allow this kind of embarrassment!
“Heavenly Sword, Violent Wind Slaughter!” Lu Jian drove his spiritual energy. His aura was so fierce that it could be sensed everywhere!
The heavenly sword in his hand thrust out a sword light accompanied by a violent wind!
Again, Ning Yechen raised his hand and gently touched the sword light. It disappeared like a breeze.
Everyone was stunned.
Old Ghost and Su Sheng knew Lu Jian’s abilities, but he could not do anything about the intruder!
Lu Jian was no longer able to maintain his composure. His face was full of shock.
His attack was enough to cut mountains and part seas, but it was effortlessly stopped.
“W-who are you?” Lu Jian shed in disbelief.
Ning Yechen ignored him and turned to check on Luo Ruying behind him.
He was wearing a mask of a black-faced ghost with fangs, so he was not afraid of revealing his identity.
When he saw her green pallor and face contorting from agonizing pain brought about by the poison, he felt distressed.
_Really, why did she have to fight? _Ning Yechen threw a pill radiating with spiritual energy into Luo Ruying’s hand and said in an old voice, “This pill can cure the poison and aid recovery. Take it now.”
“Thank you, Elder!” Luo Ruying did not hesitate and quickly took the pill.
Powerful spiritual energy spread throughout her body, neutralizing the poison. Her body stopped feeling as though it was burning away, and the pain stopped.
This pill was incredibly effective!
Seeing that Luo Ruying was much better, Ning Yechen heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Old Ghost and the other two murderously!
His murderous aura made them tremble and unable to move!
They have never felt such fear in their lives!
They never knew that someone’s murderous intent could be so terrifying!
Who is he? Old Ghost and the other two wondered.
They had never heard of someone like him!
Ning Yechen reached his hand out at Old Ghost and turned his palm slightly.
The next second, Old Ghost’s body started twisting uncontrollably. The cracking and crunching of bones sounded. His body was ripping apart, and the excruciating pain made him howl in agony!
“AHHH! E-Elder! Forgive me! Pfft!”
Ning Yechen did not stop. In a moment, Old Ghost was twisted into a ball of flesh and died a horrifying death!
Even his divine soul contorted and dissipated!
Lu Jian and Su Sheng were utterly frightened by the scene as their jaws dropped in shock.
Their peer, Old Ghost, died just like that!
Ning Yechen turned his eyes to Lu Jian and Su Sheng. The two of them instantly turned cold and felt death was upon them!
“Elder, wait! Why do you want to kill us? How have we offended you?” Su Sheng hurriedly shouted with his hands raised.
He was certain that even if he combined forces with Lu Jian, they were no match for this man before them!
“The reason for killing you is simple. You have done something wrong!” Ning Yechen replied coldly.
“S-something wrong?” Lu Jian and Su Sheng were at a loss. What did we do? What did we do wrong?’
This time, Ning Yechen could not be bothered to answer them. He used his hand like a blade and attacked Lu Jian!
Lu Jian was terrified. He hurriedly raised his sword to block the attack, but an invisible sword energy broke his sword and went straight for him.
“H-how is this possible?” Lu Jian was still raising his sword with an expression full of disbelief. A fine line appeared on his neck, blood spurted out, and his head fell to the ground!
He was a renowned Sword Saint, but now he was dead!
Even Lu Jian’s divine soul did not have the chance to escape and split into two with his body!
Su Sheng was deathly pale. Looking at Ning Yechen, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly took out a talisman.
The talisman let out a glow, and Su Sheng disappeared in an instant!
When Su Sheng reappeared, he was thousands of kilometers away.
However, he did not dare to linger whatsoever. He transformed into a light and kept flying away.
His instincts told him that he had to run, or he was bound to perish!
He should not have fallen for the temptation that he could enter the Heavenly Realm and become an immortal!
Now, not only was his dream shattered, but centuries of his cultivation had gone to waste, and he nearly died!
He felt extremely regretful of his actions. Only one thought remained in his mind. I have to run!
He had to escape immediately, even if it meant using the Long-Distance Escape Talisman, which he had saved for a long time!
Ning Yechen looked in the direction of Su Sheng’s escape but did not chase. Instead, he walked up in front of Luo Ruying, raised his hand, and placed it on her forehead.
After confirming she was fine, he was finally relieved.
Luo Ruying was startled by the intimate interaction. She hurriedly took a step back, bowed, and thanked him. “Elder, thank you for the help!”
Seeing the way this black-robed man overwhelmingly defeated Old Ghost and Lu Jian, Luo Ruying knew that he was not a cultivator from the Mortal Realm!
From the moment he mentioned those intruders had done something wrong, she had an inkling of his identity!
