Chapter 652: Chapter 652: Take the Knife with One’s Body

Yi Feng swung his saber horizontally, not giving Ling Shu time to think.

“This woman is mine!”

“Kill him!”

A martial artist undergoing a breakthrough is undoubtedly the easiest to kill.

Of course, Jiang Fan after the breakthrough would be nothing more than the Fifth Level of Core Formation.

Still easy to kill.

Clang—

The saber energy crisscrossed, emitting a terrifying whistling sound.

Before the sharpness reached, Ling Shu felt her exposed skin sting unbearably.

This slash.

She couldn’t block it!

The martial artists behind her were even more unable to stop it.

There was a slim chance of survival if she escaped now.

Staying meant certain death!

Biting her silver teeth.

She made a shocking move.

She actually turned around and used her back to block the saber energy.

She used her body to protect Jiang Fan.

The moment the saber came down.

An infinite green spirit light erupted within her, forming a spherical light shield.

Protecting both of them within it.

Yi Feng sneered, “Are there still fools in this age who protect others with their lives?”

“In that case, I’ll grant you!”

“Dragon Slayer Soul-breaking Saber!”

The momentum of the saber in his hand was like oil on a roaring fire, exponentially increasing.

With a thunderous crash, it chopped solidly onto the light shield.

The green light shield flickered unstably, its surface covered with dense cracks.

The powerful saber energy crashed through the cracks.

Piercing pitilessly into Ling Shu’s frail back.

“Ah~”

Ling Shu immediately let out a painful groan.

Her back, beautiful as white jade, was slashed with several hideous wounds of rolling flesh.

Blood gushed out like a spring.

Instantly dyeing her turquoise dress red.

Jiang Fan watched in a blinkless stare at the girl who used her frail body to block a lethal strike for him.

“Why… why didn’t you leave?”

Jiang Fan’s heart trembled.

Clearly, Ling Shu could have left him behind!

Ling Shu gritted her teeth through the pain.

Green spirit light surged out from her trembling body, repairing the tottering light shield.

Forcing a faint smile, she said with difficulty:

“Brother fought with his life to save me.”

“If I save Brother in return, what’s wrong with that…”

“Ah~”

She let out another scream.

Yi Feng’s unsuccessful strike.

Swung another slash.

This slash was even more ferocious.

The light shield collapsed with a crash.

The remaining saber energy ruthlessly penetrated it, slashing into Ling Shu’s back.

This slash almost pierced through Ling Shu’s chest and back.

The gory wound revealed ghastly white bone to the naked eye.

Her internal organs suffered fatal injuries.

Ling Shu couldn’t help but spit a mouthful of blood, splattering all over Jiang Fan’s face, chest, and long sleeves.

Her slim and delicate body, like a weightless yellow leaf, collided heavily into Jiang Fan’s arms.

The warm blood left Jiang Fan stunned.

He could no longer tell if Ling Shu’s feelings were genuine or feigned.

Clearly, she was a scheming girl.

Clearly, she was after the egg fluid in Jiang Fan’s hand.

Clearly, all her gentle gestures were carefully calculated.

But now?

Now, was it also calculated?

“Brother… run quickly…”

Ling Shu’s eyes struggled to open.

Her consciousness quickly fading.

Even so, her concern remained Jiang Fan.

This shocked Jiang Fan’s heart.

“Ling Shu, Ling Shu! Don’t sleep, don’t sleep yet!”

“Just wait a little longer!”

“Wait for me…”

Jiang Fan did not continue.

Ling Shu’s breath weakened visibly.

Until it was barely audible.

The girl who called Jiang Fan brother when they first met.

Bidding farewell with “brother” one last time.

“No!”

Jiang Fan growled.

His heart overflowing with boundless guilt.

He actually let a girl die for him!

He suddenly raised his head.

His eyes filled with fierce killing intent:

“I had no enmity with you!”

“Why do this?”

“Why?”

Yi Feng felt a chill in his heart.

Jiang Fan’s bloodied face and hateful eyes made him inexplicably uneasy.

But it also fueled his killing intent.

Since it had come to this, it was a fight to the death!

His face twisted: “Why shout?”

“The weak deserve to be trampled!”

“If I want to kill you, shouldn’t you let me kill you quietly?”

“I even gave that stupid woman a chance to serve me, to live richly and practice without worry.”

“It was herself who insisted on blocking that slash, who can she blame?”

Pausing a moment.

He noticed the Spiritual Energy Cloud atop Jiang Fan’s head shrinking rapidly.

The other’s breakthrough was nearly complete.

Yi Feng’s mockery was evident: “I really don’t know what this stupid woman was thinking?”

“Even after your breakthrough, you’re just the Fifth Level of Core Formation.”

“What’s the point of protecting your breakthrough so zealously?”

Jiang Fan’s face was covered in blood.

His eyes rolled with limitless killing intent.

The Golden Core within him operated to the extreme.

Never had he so strongly desired to kill someone.

Yi Feng!

Must die!!!

Under Jiang Fan’s gaze, Yi Feng felt a chill down his spine.

His eyes cold as he shouted: “Attack!”

“Kill him!”

Eight guards approached savagely, launching deadly attacks at Jiang Fan from various directions.

The Sea Charm battling in the distance saw this.

She gritted her teeth, forming seals with her hands.

The shadow cast on the ground by her inexplicably detached from the Sea Charm.

Rushing rapidly towards Jiang Fan.

In the process, the shadow quickly changed form.

In an instant, it transformed into an exact replica of the Sea Charm itself!

More bizarrely.

She wielded the formidable Jiedan Eighth Layer cultivation!

Flying over, her tail swept once, instantly crushing a Sixth Level Core Formation martial artist.

Then, flicking her finger.

A terrifying cold wave rolled, forcing back the remaining seven.

A Sixth Level Core Formation martial artist unable to retreat in time turned into an ice sculpture on the spot.

Xi Feijue looked at the Sea Charm still battling him, then at the Sea Charm formed of the shadow.

Aghast: “This… is also a bloodline talent?”

“But how do you have a second talent?”

As far as he knew, only noble members of the Demon Race had one bloodline talent.

Only after breaking through to the Demon Emperor Realm, or as Demon Emperor bloodline offspring, would they possess a second talent.

“So much nonsense!”

The Sea Charm coldly rebuked, unleashing streams of ice.

Their power weakened compared to before.

Xi Feijue immediately noticed this, a glint flashing in his eyes, a cold smile: “The Shadow Clone talent is indeed amazing.”

“But its disadvantages seem quite evident.”

“It saps some of the main body’s strength!”

As his words fell.

Xi Feijue suddenly took action, decisively employing his hidden trump card.

“Qiankun Sleeve!”

He thrust out both palms.

Two seemingly ordinary sleeves mysteriously extended across the sky.

Striking viciously on the unsuspecting Sea Charm.

Poof—

The seemingly feather-light sleeves hit like boulders.

Even with the Sea Charm’s strength, she couldn’t help but open her mouth and spit out a blood arrow.

Groaning and flying back.

The main body was heavily wounded, the shadow clone Sea Charm instantly dissipated, returning as a shadow behind her.

Xi Feijue snarled: “Kill that brat now!”

“Today, none of them think they can escape!”

Having said that, he moved to attack the injured Sea Charm.

But just at this moment.

The last trace of Spiritual Energy Cloud above Jiang Fan’s head was absorbed.

A powerful wave of energy from the Fifth Level of Core Formation radiated from Jiang Fan’s body.

The Sea Charm’s eyes lit up.

She sneered: “You’re finished!”

“I won’t speak for myself.”

“But your subordinates.”

“None of them will leave alive!!!”
