In the hazy moonlight, two figures could be seen.
One of them struck out with his sword. The sword intent was ethereal and light, but at the same time, it was long and sharp as it attacked Blood Night
Rain.
The other person took the opportunity to reach out to grab Jie Xingmang, intending to snatch him over first.
Unfortunately, Xue Yeyu was already on guard and was always on guard. Thus, when he met the Heavenly River Sword Qi, he also grabbed Xie Xingmang with one hand, causing Xie Xingmang to miss.
The sword energy in the hazy moonlight suddenly soared like a tidal wave, each wave higher than the last, endless.
He attacked with every move, trying to overwhelm Blood Night Rain.
Blood River Elder grabbed Xie Xingmang with one hand and struck back with his sword with the other. His movements were indeed a little inconvenient.
Although the other party’s attacks were fierce, they were not chaotic at all.
The swordsmanship of the Milky Way’s “Illusion Moon” lineage was displayed vividly at this moment.
Tens of thousands of sword Qi shot out at the same time, but each sword Qi was as flexible as silk. They turned and changed as if they had their own lives and could move freely.
Each of the thin threads avoided Xie Xingmang’s body agilely. They were erratic and unpredictable.
It was impossible for Blood Night Rain to use Xie Xingmang’s body as a shield.
The soft and tiny threads easily circled around him. The tip of the blade was sharp, and it stared at Blood Night Rain with killing intent.
Xue Yeyu didn’t consider any other tricks and pushed his cultivation to the limit.
The torrential blood light seemed to have turned into a sea of blood at this moment, meeting the opponent’s sword qi head-on.
Blood River Elder’s eyes flashed coldly.
He had recognized the young man in front of him. He was a top expert among the younger generation of the Heavenly River, second only to the Little Sword Immortal. He had always been on the same level as Yang Xuan and a few others. He was also a rising star and a genius in the Heavenly River.
Although the other party’s cultivation base at the sixteenth realm was inferior to Xue Yeyu’s, he was currently injured and his strength was reduced, making it difficult for him to unleash his full potential.
Even the blood phoenix formed by the Blood Phoenix Reincarnation Art was hidden in his body to help control his injuries and could not be used.
Under such circumstances, it would not be easy to defeat this young opponent in front of him.
Other than the Sky River Swordsman from the Illusory Moon, there was another person hiding quietly at the side.
It was a white-robed youth who had lost his right hand like Xie Xingmang.
He was the one who had tried to snatch Xie Xingmang back just now, but he had failed at the last moment.
If his attack missed, he would retreat far away.
There was a huge gap between Xue Yeyu’s current cultivation base and the one he had seen. He had failed to sneak an attack using his fellow disciples as cover, so he naturally could not overestimate his own strength and go up to them.
With the Heavenly River Swordsman Zhou Quan, who had a sword like the shadow of the moon, hiding far away, Xue Yeyu did not have the mood to deal with him.
The youth in white was expressionless as he stared at Xie Xingmang, who was in Blood Night Rain’s hand.
Just now was the best opportunity, but unfortunately, he didn’t succeed.
The teenager in white could not be bothered with regret at this moment. He only focused on observing.
Rather than regretting the past, it was better to focus on the future. If there was a fleeting opportunity, he had to seize it.
Chen Luoyang looked at Shi Jingtong and Xue Yeyu from afar and couldn’t help but smile.
Shi Jing was even more concerned and anxious about Jie Xingmang than his master and senior brothers.
The experience he had in the Divine Lands had left him with regrets.
However, this person wasn’t someone to be trifled with. After the previous training, he became more and more stable.
Although he was extremely anxious, he became calmer and did not advance rashly.
Although he had suffered from injuries and broken arms, his cultivation had improved under the guidance of the Sky River Branch. He had broken through from the 11th level to the 13th level of the Martial Emperor Realm.
Compared to Xue Yeyu in front of him, the difference in their cultivation realms was undoubtedly far apart.
However, Shi Jing was fearless, neither anxious nor impatient, patiently and calmly waiting for an opportunity.
Chen Luoyang’s gaze moved away from him and swept across the people in the Heavenly River who were engaged in the battle.
The other party had secretly split up into two groups, with a Martial Saint working with Shi Jing to secretly rescue them. They had indeed caught the Azure Mist Race off guard.
However, from the looks of them doing their best to create pressure on the Ashhaze Race’s defensive line and protect their fellow disciples, Chen Luoyang could roughly tell that the Heavenly River didn’t have any more people hiding in the Wilderness.
At least in the short term, it would be difficult for them to have new reinforcements.
The Wildlands didn’t only have the Azure Mist Clan.
Now, it was up to Ashen Mist Tie whether he would insist on keeping the secret.
If he didn’t try to take it all for himself and invited the experts of the other tribes in the Wilderness to help, the Sky River warriors here would definitely be defeated.
The people of the Heavenly River couldn’t afford to gamble.
As a result, their attacks became more and more fierce, and they even began to fight with all their might regardless of their lives.
Especially the Sky River Swordsman who was fighting with Blood Night Rain. Although his sword intent was from the ” Illusion Moon ” branch, which was relatively soft, his attacks were getting more and more fierce. He was almost only attacking and not defending. He attacked Blood Night Rain fiercely with the posture of exchanging injuries for injuries and life for life.
The sword Qi of the moonlight lineage that filled the sky seemed to have turned into a violent rising sun at this moment.
Blood Night Rain naturally did not want to perish together with the other party.
He was already injured by Yan Mingkongs sword, and he was not even willing to add more injuries to himself.
However, the pressure from his opponent was not as intense as Yan Mingkong’s.
Therefore, he did not give up on solving the starlight. Instead, he changed his sword intent.
Facing the enemy’s desperate fighting style, a white sword aura suddenly emerged from Blood Night Rain’s blood-red sword radiance.
The sword Qi floated and merged with the sea of blood.
For a moment, it was as if white clouds were floating above the blood river.
In the scene that looked both high and evil, endless fiendish qi erupted.
At this moment, Blood Night Rain was also going all out.
The sword intent of the Absolute Sword was integrated into his Blood River Sword Path.
Then, the blood sea and the white clouds exploded in the sky.
Endless waves blocked the Sky River Swordsman’s footsteps and vision.
Even though he wasn’t afraid of getting injured, he suddenly lost his target.
When the moonlight-like sword Qi broke through the blood mist in front of him, Xue Yeyu had already escaped with Xie Xingmang.
The people of the Azure Haze Clan were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Heavenly River warriors, so they couldn’t take care of Xue Yeyu at the moment.
Both parties wanted to track down Blood Night Rain, but the battle was at its climax. How could they stop so easily?
Only the Sky River Swordsman from the Illusory Moon lineage chased after him again with the stone mirror.
Shi Jing’s mind was calm and he did not look disappointed. He just followed quietly.
However, not long after Xue Yeyu escaped, a saber light suddenly lit up and shot towards Xue Yeyu.
Xue Yeyu raised his eyebrows and blocked the saber light.
He had recognized that this was the direct descendant of the Ancient Gods Clan.
The young woman in front of him was from the Ancient Gods Clan of the Red Dust World.
Although he did not cultivate the Divine Demon Blood, his cultivation was already considered outstanding among Level 15 Martial Emperors.
Xue Yeyu was heavily injured and barely managed to push back the enemies and break out of the encirclement. At this moment, his injuries were acting up and his body was weak.
He was blocked by Ning Jiuwei’s saber and was actually unable to break through immediately.
Moonlight quickly caught up with them.
Xue Yeyu was anxious and increased the strength of his sword.
He had a solid foundation, after all, so he could barely push Ning Jiuwei away by taking a deep breath.
Ning Jiuwei didn’t try to stop him, and he immediately pushed him aside to make way.
Xue Yeyu didn’t dare to stay any longer and immediately rushed over.
After the blood light flashed, there was almost no interval. A ray of moonlight fell, brushing past the end of the blood light and slashing into the mountains of the Wilderness.
The moonlight was sharp and gentle.
As soon as it missed, it immediately made a nimble turn in mid-air and chased after the bloody light again.
Ning Jiuwei watched as the two sword lights left. He didn’t stay any longer and disappeared as well.
Behind them, there were already some experts from the Canglan Race and the Sky River Descendants. They had temporarily put aside their opponents and were also chasing after them.
Ning Jiuwei avoided interacting with them.
She was only following Chen Luoyang’s orders to hide in the dark. At the crucial moment, she could just block the Blood Night Rain.
There was a difference in their cultivation levels. If it was someone else, they might have muttered to themselves that if they were to fight against Xue Yeyu, who was at the 17th level, they would be courting death.
Ning Jiuwei didn’t seem to think too much about it. Since he had received an order from the Deputy Patriarch, he would carry it out to the letter.
She recalled that her Sect Master Chen seemed to have known that the Heavenly River had secretly ambushed the “Illusory Moon” sword.
In the end, Xue Yeyu was forced to flee in such a sorry state, giving her, a
Martial Emperor at the fifteenth level, the chance to make a move.
However, why didn’t the Vice Sect Leader take action personally?
If he had personally made a move, Blood Night Rain would have been captured easily.
Ning Jiuwei found it strange, but he only thought about it and didn’t say anything. He immediately set off to carry out the second mission that Chen Luoyang had assigned to her.
Chen Luoyang was satisfied with Ning Jiuwei’s completion of the mission.
He was calm and unhurried as he continued to follow them, keeping an eye on Blood Night Rain and the others.
The pitiful Blood River Elder had lost most of his advantage after being distracted by Ning Jiuwei.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to shake off the Sky River Swordsman behind him.
The movement techniques of the Illusory Moon lineage weren’t weak.
The Sky River Swordsman carried the stone mirror and chased after Blood Night Rain, who was carrying Xie Xingmang. Soon, they were getting closer and closer.
The injuries that Yan Mingkong had inflicted on Xue Yeyu started to worsen again, affecting his speed.
Xue Yeyu felt helpless. He knew that he had to make a decision again.
Although the other party’s Sword Qi had bypassed Xie Xingmang’s body every time, Xue Yeyu knew that there was no hope of using Xie Xingmang’s life to threaten him.
Jie Xingmang was not just the heir of the Heavenly River, but also involved the Absolute Sword.
Of course, he would try his best to save them.
But if he really couldn’t save the person, Tian He would rather die than continue to fall into the hands of the Devil Dao.
Blood Night Rain, who had dealt with the Heavenly River for a lifetime, knew this very well.
Therefore, when Moonlight caught up to him again, Blood Night Rain gritted his teeth. The blood light suddenly turned and flew into the sky before turning around.
Then, he gave up on Xie Xingmang and threw him at the people from the Azure Mist Race..
