Chapter 853 - 450: A World of Ice and Fire

The purple Sword Qi poured down in the icy world.

Ji Haiyue saw this, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Ji Ziyue, you’re meddling in things that don’t concern you! If you don’t stop, the Ji family Holy Master won’t spare you!"

Ji Haiyue shouted coldly.

However, Ji Ziyue did not stop; instead, she was even more determined to assist Gu Sheng by lending her Divine Power.

Gu Sheng looked at Ji Ziyue, his heart filled with gratitude.

He knew Ji Ziyue was resisting Ji Haiyue, disregarding their kinship, to protect him.

"Courting death! I’ll fulfill your wish!"

At this moment, Ji Haiyue’s eyes turned cold.

The frosty longsword in his hand instantly transformed into a beam of cold light, charging straight towards Ji Ziyue.

Ji Ziyue saw this, her heart tightened, knowing Ji Haiyue intended to kill her.

Immediately, she mustered her Divine Power and barely dodged Ji Haiyue’s attack.

"Gu Sheng, run!"

Ji Ziyue shouted, giving Gu Sheng a fierce push, then flew towards Ji Haiyue.

"Ziyue!"

Gu Sheng looked at Ji Ziyue’s resolute silhouette, his heart filled with reluctance.

"Run!"

Ji Ziyue shouted without turning her head.

Gu Sheng knew Ji Ziyue was confronting the danger alone for his sake.

But Ji Ziyue and Ji Haiyue were not on the same level at all.

Although they were cousins, if Ji Haiyue, with his cold and unparalleled demeanor, really got serious, Ji Ziyue was sure to be doomed!

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and decided to stay and fight alongside Ji Ziyue.

"Ziyue, you can’t face all this alone!"

Gu Sheng shouted, charging forward.

Seeing this, Ji Ziyue suddenly felt a warm sensation in her heart.

"I told you to run, why didn’t you?"

Her heart was warm, but Ji Ziyue still scolded Gu Sheng with her words.

"I can’t leave you alone."

Gu Sheng said seriously.

Meanwhile, Ji Haiyue watched Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue fight side by side, becoming even more furious.

Show of affection?

You’ll die quickly!

Ji Haiyue roared in anger, charging towards Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue again.

The ice sword was ruthless, filled with murderous intent!

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue exchanged glances, both seemingly ready to face death together.

"Shoo!"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng quickly stepped back.

He churned the Mystic Yellow Qi within him, combined it with the Fire Spirit Dagger, and formed a powerful Sword Qi of fire.

He didn’t hesitate, directly sending the fire Sword Qi to meet Ji Haiyue’s attack.

"Clang clang clang!"

The Sword Qi, like a rainbow, made a piercing sound, aimed directly at Ji Haiyue’s face.

"Ziyue, be careful!"

Gu Sheng loudly warned.

In an instant, the fire Sword Qi clashed with Ji Haiyue’s ice sword in the air, creating a deafening boom.

Ji Ziyue’s figure flickered, dodging a part of Gu Sheng’s Sword Qi.

Immediately after, she wielded her short sword, turning into a beam of light, stabbing directly at Ji Haiyue’s back.

"Hmm?"

Ji Haiyue sensed the danger behind him and turned.

The ice sword transformed into a cold light, slashing back at Ji Ziyue.

However, Ji Ziyue’s dagger was faster.

Almost at the moment Ji Haiyue’s ice sword was about to touch her, the dagger lightly slashed Ji Haiyue’s shoulder.

"Ah!"

Ji Haiyue cried out in pain, the ice sword in his hand instantly losing control.

Thus, the ice sword slipped from his hand, falling toward the ground.

Gu Sheng seized the opportunity, holding the Fire Spirit Dagger, aiming straight for Ji Haiyue’s throat.

Although Ji Haiyue was injured, his strength had not diminished.

At the moment Gu Sheng lunged again, he quickly gathered a layer of Protective True Qi, forcefully withstanding Gu Sheng’s Sword Qi.

"Ding!"

A piercing sound was heard.

"What!"

Gu Sheng widened his eyes, not expecting Ji Haiyue’s cultivation to be so profound, able to withstand the Fire Spirit Dagger’s Sword Qi!

"You two are not enough!"

Ji Haiyue roared, a powerful Divine Power suddenly surged around his body.

"Boom!"

Ji Haiyue’s figure instantly blurred, transforming into a shadow, charging at Gu Sheng again.

"Be careful! That’s the Ji family’s Flying Spirit Skill, dodge quickly!"

Ji Ziyue saw this and loudly warned.

"Hmph, Flying Spirit Skill or not, I can withstand it just the same!"

Gu Sheng sneered, his eyes revealing disdain.

Gu Sheng had been surprised by Ji Haiyue’s strength before, but with Ji Ziyue there, he still felt confident.

"Hoo..."

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, True Qi surging within him.

In that instant, a searing flame formed a barrier around him.

"Come on!"

Gu Sheng roared, planning to take Ji Haiyue’s attack head-on.

"You can’t block it!"

Ji Ziyue, seeing this, felt her heart tighten.

She knew that although Gu Sheng was powerful, the Ji family’s Flying Spirit Skill was another kind of secret technique.

This secret technique could neutralize more than half of the opponent’s magic, then launch an attack.

It was precisely by taking advantage of the opponent’s negligence that it could be lethal in one move.

As a member of the Ji family, she naturally understood the ruthlessness of the Flying Spirit Skill.

Following that, Ji Ziyue clenched her silver teeth, her body like a stream of light, standing in front of Gu Sheng.

"Ziyue, move aside!"

Gu Sheng did not expect Ji Ziyue to suddenly stand in front of him.

"No, I can’t watch you get hurt!"

Ji Ziyue said determinedly.

"Ziyue! You..."

Ji Haiyue was shocked by this sight.

He didn’t expect his cousin to stand in front of him for an outsider.

But he had already launched the Flying Spirit Skill, and his speed was extremely fast, making it too late to call it back.

So, at this moment he could only try his best to control his divine power, attempting to deflect the attack at the last moment.

"Ziyue, move quickly!"

Ji Haiyue shouted loudly.

"If you dare, come at me!"

Ji Ziyue shouted.

At this moment, she was like an indestructible barrier, resolute and unwavering.

"Sizzling!"

Ji Haiyue had no choice but to exert all his strength to retract the Flying Spirit Skill.

Just as the Flying Spirit Skill was about to reach Ji Ziyue, Ji Haiyue spun in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

The Flying Spirit Skill was completely withdrawn, but Ji Haiyue nearly fell flat on his face.

"Ziyue, why bother!"

Ji Haiyue’s face was grim, his eyes full of fury.

"I won’t let you hurt him!"

Ji Ziyue met Ji Haiyue’s gaze fearlessly.

"You, as my sister, truly disappoint me!"

Ji Haiyue reprimanded harshly.

He didn’t expect Ji Ziyue would risk her own life for an outsider.

"Humph, have you ever made me proud to call you my brother!"

Ji Ziyue snorted coldly.

"You..."

Ji Haiyue was utterly frustrated.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a red light suddenly flew in from behind Ji Haiyue.

The speed was extremely fast, catching everyone off guard.

Ji Haiyue had just retracted the Flying Spirit Skill, and his divine power hadn’t fully recovered; his perception through Divine Sense was still dull.

"Slash!"

The red light struck Ji Haiyue squarely in the back.

"Ah!!!"

Ji Haiyue’s body shook violently, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His whole body fell like a kite with its string cut, landing several hundred meters away.

"Who is it!"

Ji Haiyue roared angrily.

"Gu Sheng can’t die yet."

A lively, melodious voice echoed.

Gu Sheng and his allies focused their eyes, and saw the Shaking Light Saintess descending from the sky.

"It’s you?"

Ji Ziyue asked coldly upon seeing the Shaking Light Saintess.

"Hehehe..."

The Shaking Light Saintess let out a bell-like laugh.

"Gu Sheng can’t die yet."

The Shaking Light Saintess said sharply.

The feeling was as though she now held Gu Sheng’s life in her hands.

"Hmph!"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly, not paying her any mind.

Then Ji Haiyue stood up, his face gloomy as he said, "Shaking Light Saintess, my Ji family has no grudge with your Shaking Light Sacred Land, why are you doing this?"

The Shaking Light Saintess curled her lips: "Ji Haiyue, don’t bring up the Ji family or the Shaking Light Holy Land; this is my own affair!"

"Hmm?"

Ji Haiyue frowned slightly, realizing that the Shaking Light Saintess intended to take Gu Sheng away herself.

Upon thinking of this, Ji Haiyue coldly said, "If you want to take Gu Sheng away, you must first get past us."

"Hehe..."

The Shaking Light Saintess chuckled disdainfully, her eyes reflecting scorn.

"Do you two really think you can stop me? I advise you to wise up, otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless."

The Shaking Light Saintess said with a certain arrogance.
