Sensing Long Zhengling's life force dissipate in the distance, Ji Jiugian's pupils contracted violently. Panic and fear filled them. A cultivator of the same realm as him had perished in the blink of an eye.
From the moment he had planned to intercept and kill Chen Fei, Ji Jiugian had never imagined the situation would take such a turn. What kind of storm could an Early-stage Realm Lord Realm cultivator possibly stir up?
But the outcome told Ji Jiugian that this was not merely a storm. It was a towering tsunami capable of smashing them all to death.
Clang!
The crescent blade struck Zhu Shiyu's Wind God Shield. A tremendous rebounding force surged back, and Ji Jiugian rode that force backward before appearing before Lu Yilin, intending to escape with her.
There was no chance of winning this fight. As for why he still intended to bring Lu Yilin along, it was not because Ji Jiugian was particularly loyal. It was simply because Lu Yilin possessed all manner of secret treasures.
Those secret treasures had been bestowed by Lu Yilin's father, a Peak Realm Lord Realm expert. Perhaps they could save their lives at a critical moment. If he were fleeing alone, Ji Jiugian had no confidence that he could escape from Chen Fei.
Zhu Shiyu's body swayed slightly after forcibly taking Ji Jiugian's slash. He had no time to stop Ji Jiugian, as Ji Jiugian had been completely suppressing him all along.
Zhu Shiyu had managed to cling tightly to Ji Jiugian earlier and prevent him from approaching Chen Fei purely by relying on the breath of resolve in his heart. But as the battle continued, Zhu Shiyu had also suffered serious injuries, and his movements were inevitably affected, allowing Ji Jiugian to seize the chance to break free.
