Xu Nian flew at breakneck speed.
The Shrinking Ground Principle and the Wind Attribute Speed Law were simultaneously employed.
The speed had already reached the limit.
Yet at this moment, Xu Nian still felt it was too slow.
"Xueâer, you must hold on!"
Xu Nian furiously roared in his heart.
He had just used the Immortal Seeking Talisman to find Murong Xueâs whereabouts.
However, Murong Xueâs situation at the moment was extremely precarious.
Surprisingly, there were several demon cultivator auras around her.
The strongest of these auras had even reached the Golden Immortal Level.
Murong Xueâs aura seemed somewhat chaotic, as if she had suffered serious injuries.
This meant that Murong Xue could face a life-threatening situation at any moment.
"Xueâer, nothing must happen to you!" Xu Nian prayed silently in his heart.
In the past, he had lost Murong Xue once, and this time he couldnât bear to lose her again.
The torment of separation, the pain of longing.
He had never spoken of it to anyone over the years, but this pain had always been buried deep like an incurable disease.
So no matter what, he couldnât lose Murong Xue again.
"Faster! Xueâer, Iâm coming."
Xu Nian roared in his heart, pushing his speed to the extreme.
...
In the northern part of Feixian City, Murong Xue was holding a sword in her left hand, staring fiercely at the five demon practitioners before her.
Her white dress was already stained with a lot of blood.
And the Immortal Essence within her was running low.
If not for her astonishing willpower, she would have probably fallen by now.
"I cannot die here."
She gasped heavily, her gaze wild, looking at the five demon cultivators before her with extreme killing intent.
"Murong Xue, accept your fate, you cannot defeat us."
One of the Golden Immortal Realm demon practitioners said coldly.
They had come a long way precisely for Murong Xue.
If not for orders from above to capture her alive, they would have killed her long ago.
"Why are you after me?" Murong Xue asked coldly.
"Because of your Innate Yin Evil Body. As long as you come with us obediently, we promise not to hurt you," the Golden Immortal demon practitioner replied coldly.
"In your dreams!" Murong Xueâs eyes were firm, gripping her sword with her left hand, ready to fight to the death.
However, at this moment, her Immortal Essence was depleted, unable to sustain the battle.
"Since you refuse, weâll have to knock you out and take you away. Go," the Golden Immortal snorted.
With the Golden Immortal Realm demon practitionerâs command,
four men in black advanced towards Murong Xue simultaneously from all directions.
"Am I going to die?"
A trace of desolation flashed in Murong Xueâs eyes.
She hadnât expected to escape Ji Hengchuanâs encirclement, only to fall into the hands of these demon practitioners.
"Husband, farewell."
Murong Xue silently said in her heart.
The next moment, she closed her eyes, ready to use the Death God Stone to take all four demon practitioners with her.
However, at this moment, four terrifying Sword Qi descended from the sky, instantly perforating all four demon practitioners.
"Ahhhhh!"
Four screams resounded.
The four demon practitioners perished on the spot, turning into ashes.
"What?" The Golden Immortal Level demon practitioner was instantly shocked.
He looked up suddenly.
Murong Xue also halted her action of activating the Death God Stone, completely stunned by the figure descending from the sky.
"Am I dreaming?" Murong Xue murmured to herself.
Suddenly, as if recalling something,
she retreated continuously, covering her face with her sleeve, looking utterly terrified.
"Xueâer?"
Seeing this, Xu Nian felt as if a sharp dagger had pierced his heart.
He saw it.
And understood the reason for Murong Xueâs terror.
"You... donât come closer!"
Murong Xue hurriedly retreated.
"Xueâer, itâs me, Xu Nian. Donât you want to see me?" Xu Nian quickly said.
Hearing this, Murong Xue stopped, cautiously revealing her face from behind the sleeve to look at Xu Nian.
"Husband, is it really you? Am I not dreaming?" Murong Xue said in a daze.
"No, I really came." Xu Nian gently pressed down Murong Xueâs arm.
At this moment, Murong Xueâs entire right arm and cheek were withered like an old tree.
The once beautiful face was no more.
Xu Nianâs heart bled.
Appearance is something a woman cherishes, yet now Murong Xue had not only lost an arm but her looks too.
Seeing the tense and uneasy Murong Xue before him, Xu Nianâs heart surged with boundless killing intent.
"Am I not ugly?" Murong Xue asked anxiously.
Her greatest fear was letting Xu Nian see her ugly appearance.
Thatâs why she had been so terrified, unwilling to meet him.
She feared scaring him, feared he might despise her.
"No, youâre the most beautiful woman in the world, Xueâer, no matter how you change, youâll always be my Xueâer." Xu Nian forced a smile to comfort her, tightly embracing Murong Xue.
"Really?" Hearing this, Murong Xue finally felt at ease.
She hugged Xu Nian, unable to stop her tears.
Xu Nian could feel the endless pain in Murong Xueâs sobs.
At that moment, it was as if an unparalleled Killing God awoke within him.
"Xueâer, donât worry, none of those who harmed you like this will escape, Iâll make sure they all die with no place to be buried."
Xu Nianâs heart roared.
Endless killing intent surged from him.
At this moment, Xu Nianâs heart harbored only slaughter.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, a sharp sword shot towards Xu Nian.
The sword carried endless Law Waves.
"Courting death!"
Xu Nianâs eyes turned scarlet in an instant.
The next moment, numerous Law Swords condensed in the air.
A dense cluster, over a hundred swords.
Each of these Law Swords contained terrifying Extreme Point Penetration Law Waves.
Seeing this, the Golden Immortal Realm demon cultivator felt numb in fear.
At this moment, he finally realized what kind of existence he had provoked.
"Die!"
Xu Nian shouted loudly.
Subsequently, the hundred-plus Law Swords descended in unison.
"No!"
The demon practitioner wanted to dodge.
But he couldnât.
Each Law Sword contained the Law Power.
So the moment the Law Swords appeared, he was already locked.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion.
The demon practitioner was instantly perforated like a sieve.
The entire ground was blasted into an enormous crater.
Yet Xu Nianâs killing intent showed no sign of diminishing.
"Theyâre here!"
Just as Xu Nian was preparing to leave with Murong Xue.
A voice suddenly sounded from afar.
Then Xu Nian saw Qing Ye leading Yaochi disciples towards them.
Accompanying them were Yan Chang and Lei Lie.
Besides them, there was a middle-aged man Xu Nian hadnât seen before.
"Youâre courting death!"
Upon seeing the newcomers, Xu Nianâs eyes instantly filled with overwhelming killing intent.
