Yang Shan was still running wildly through the passage when messages came from Chao Bafang:

"Great God! Qin Jian has broken out of the Main Tomb Secret Realm! Holy crap, he's amazing!"

Yang Shan: "What's the situation now?"

Chao Bafang: "The players in Cloud Frost City have all gone mad! They're all rushing towards Qin Jian. Qin Jian is like he's unleashed a full-on attack, unleashing a burst of white light with every palm strike!"

Upon hearing this from Chao Bafang, Yang Shan immediately understood that Qin Jian had already used special means to amplify his strength.

In his previous life, he was one of the countless beams of white light under Qin Jian's Palm Force.

On his way out of the secret realm, Yang Shan still encountered quite a few players.

After all, some players lack ambition, or they are aware of their own limitations and are unwilling to take the risk, which may only offer a one in ten thousand chance.

It's better to go to the Main Tomb Secret Realm and pick up some inferior items; maybe they'll be of good quality! After Yang Shan left the secret realm, he saw Zhu Tianpeng standing to the side, holding a telescope.

Zhu Tianpeng: "Hey, Brother Yang!"

Yang Shan looked at the dark mass in the distance, and the powerful Dou Qi that was constantly intertwining in the very center.

Yang Shan originally thought that the main attacker would be either Pang Yunfei or Chai Lie.

But to everyone's surprise, it was Nalan Yanran! You must know that Qin Jian at this moment used special methods, and even if he didn't reach the Dou Ling Peak, he definitely had the combat power of a seven-star or even Eight Star Dou Ling.

In the end, Nalan Yanran was only Nine-Star Great Fighter.

Nalan Yanran and Qin Jian were locked in a fierce battle, exchanging blows back and forth, to the point that Qin Jian's Dou Qi Armor was riddled with cracks. (Da Dou Shi possesses Dou Qi Armor, but that doesn't mean they don't use it after reaching the Da Dou Shi; it's a primary defensive measure, and even Dou Emperor level cultivators use it.) Watching the white-clad figure surrounded by a gentle breeze, Yang Shan couldn't help but exclaim, "Nalan Yanran, you're truly amazing!"

In her previous life Nalan Yanran's combat power was always terrifying, and her cultivation speed was also extremely fast. It wasn't until she reached the Dou Huang Realm that her speed began to slow down, and she was even surpassed by the three Dou Zong players.

However, at this stage, Nalan Yanran theoretically possesses resources that no other player can match.

It is only natural that they are strong.

But just as Yang Shan finished praising Nalan Yanran, he saw Qin Jian forcefully break through Nalan Yanran's Dou Qi Armor and slam his palm into Nalan Yanran's abdomen! Nalan Yanran's face turned pale, and blood kept spilling from her mouth.

His body flew backwards.

But Nalan Yanran was very resolute. Before she could stop herself, she threw a pill into her mouth.

Immediately, Nalan Yanran's dejected spirit began to recover.

Qin Jian was startled.

The drugs he's taking seem even stronger than his!

There were also many members of the Azure Cloud Association around, resisting the players' onslaught.

Qin Jian has enough time and space to deal with Nalan Yanran.

We absolutely cannot let Nalan Yanran recover, otherwise, Qin Jian is worried that he will be caught off guard and suffer a setback! Pang Yunfei and Chai Lie, these two ruthless characters who are the undisputed rulers of Cloud Frost City, seem to be no match for Qin Jian, whose strength has greatly increased.

Qin Jian struck twice, forcing the two men back.

Qin Jian charged straight at Nalan Yanran.

At this moment, Wang Tianhao had been keeping a low profile and hiding in the back, was overjoyed!

Wang Tianhao judged from the beginning that Nalan Yanran would not be a match for Qin Jian.

However, Nalan Yanran Nalan Yanran very strong-willed, so helping her when she's in danger will definitely win her favor! Nalan Yanran is the NPC that Wang Tianhao most wants to win over right now!

Nalan Yanran fell to the ground, and before she could stand up, she saw Qin Jian had already arrived.

"Miss Nalan, I'm here."

Wang Tianhao was just about to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, but he hadn't even activated his Dou Technique yet.

That fiery red figure dragged the lightning in an elegant, dragon-like arc.

Thunder Spirit Flash! Thunder Arc Three-Stage Slash! Yang Shan's strike was incredibly precise.

They're after the throat!

Even with Qin Jian's many years of combat experience, he was still terrified by this sudden and immense killing intent.

Qin Jian decisively abandoned the pursuit of Nalan Yanran and turned to deal with Yang Shan.

But it was still a step too slow.

Yang Shan's first strike landed on Qin Jian's Dou Qi Armor.

As expected of Dou Ling Dou Ling, especially NPCs like Qin Jian with Purple Word Seal, even with their Dou Qi Armor full of cracks, Yang Shan still couldn't break through it with a single strike after Qin Jian used special methods to enhance his combat power.

Yang Shan followed up with another normal attack.

Qin Jian's Dou Qi Armor finally shattered!

But just as the second strike of the Thunder Arc Three-Stage Slash was unleashed, Qin Jian intercepted it with his gauntlet-clad hands.

The parry was triggered, and the Dou Qi on Yang Shan Thunder Guiding Blade was shattered! Although Yang Shan didn't lose much health, his third strike also ended in vain.

This is the combat power of Seven-Star Dou Ling!

Yang Shan chose to make his move at this time because Qin Jian's Dou Qi Armor was on the verge of breaking.

Even if it's Dou Ling a type of martial arts expert), without the protection of Dou Qi Armor, there's still a good chance of killing it.

Of course, the "opportunity" does not refer to the Thunder Arc Three-Stage Slash just now.

The purpose of the Thunder Arc Three-Stage Slash was simply to break through the Dou Qi Armor.

Yang Shan drew his sword and retreated, landing not far from Wang Tianhao.

Nalan Yanran, struggling to her feet, exclaimed in delight, "Young Master Yang!"

[Ding! You stopped Qin Jian and resolved Nalan Yanran's crisis. Nalan Yanran's favorability +5, current favorability: 26.]

Yang Shan turned his head and glanced at Nalan Yanran indifferently. "Recover quickly, I'll help you stall for time."

Nalan Yanran's face suddenly flushed slightly:

"You, be careful."

"Damn it!"

Seeing the barely concealed shyness on Nalan Yanran, Wang Tianhao wished he could tear Yang Shan apart on the spot.

However, he knew that if he dared to make a move against Yang Shan now, Nalan Yanran would send him back to the city with a single sword strike!

Yang Shan didn't care what Wang Tianhao was thinking. If Wang Tianhao dared to do anything wrong, it would just be a matter of one stab.

Yang Shan chose to make his move at this time not only because the opportunity to kill Qin Jian had appeared.

Also, Yang Shan hoped that Nalan Yanran would regain her fighting strength.

You should know that right now, all the players in this Ten Thousand Beast Forest want to kill Qin Jian.

In the unlikely event that thousands of players might choose to gamble with Dou Technique when Qin Jian is low on health.

Yang Shan might not necessarily be able to secure the kill!

After all, most players are now at the Dou Master level, so learning a ranged Dou Technique isn't difficult.

Unlike before when we had to get close to the Fire Cloud Leopard, we no longer need to engage in close combat.

No matter how high Yang Shan's burst damage is, it can't surpass the simultaneous attack of tens of thousands of players.

Without other interference, with the help of Yang Shan Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng, Qin Jian, who was not protected by his Dou Qi Armor, would almost certainly die.

If Nalan Yanran recovers her fighting strength, then Yang Shan's pressure will be greatly reduced.

At the crucial moment, Yang Shan could have had Nalan Yanran hold off Qin Jian first, and then clear the area together with Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng.

As for Nalan Yanran, she has 26 points of favorability. Yang Shan can use his rescue earlier as a reason to get Nalan Yanran to give him face.

This way, Yang Shan can ensure that the right to kill is definitely in his own hands!

It has to be said that Yang Shan Shan's mind is terrifyingly meticulous, considering every aspect in such a short time! Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng had already arrived.

Yang Shan also drew his sword and attacked.

Qin Jian felt extremely aggrieved.

He, a powerful Dou Ling expert, is now being surrounded by three Da Dou Shi.

It's truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.

"Get out of my sight!"

Qin Jian's skill level is indeed quite good. Even at this stage, he can still unleash various Dou Technique at will.

Yang Shan was indeed very fast, but Qin Jian's current stats were approaching those of Eight Star Dou Ling. Without activating the Thunder Spirit Flash, Yang Shan's speed was not as fast as Qin Jian's! At this moment, Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng came into play.

Chao Bafang's direct burst of power is very strong. Without the protection of his Dou Qi Armor, Qin Jian can only choose to dodge or use Dou Technique to counterattack.

Zhu Tianpeng's third-tier Beast Water provides excellent defensive capabilities.

This ensures that even if Chao Bafang takes two direct hits from Qin Jian, he will still have some Vitality Shield left.

As for Yang Shan, who is under pressure from Chao Bafang, he can naturally free up his hands to launch a full-scale attack!

Chao Bafang was responsible for withstanding the pressure, Zhu Tianpeng was responsible for defense, and Yang Shan was responsible for being the sixth brother. The three of them had already practiced in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for several days, so their cooperation was naturally very tacit.

The key point is that the three of them were not greedy for quick success and did not make any risky moves.

This makes it difficult for Qin Jian to seize an opportunity to turn the tide.

This scene is very similar to the "Three Heroes Battle Lü Bu" scene in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The other players didn't dare to interfere.

This is Yang One-Blade! Who dares to steal the kill of the number one player in the entire server? The three of them managed to hold out until Nalan Yanran recovered, and Pang Yunfei and Chai Lie had also rushed over again.

Pang Yunfei and Chai Lie both wished they could kill Yang Shan on the spot.

But with Nalan Yanran watching, neither of them dared to actually make a move against Yang Shan.

We must deal with Qin Jian first.

Yang Shan, Chao Bafang, and Zhu Tianpeng retreated in perfect unison.

The rest is now in the hands of Nalan Yanran and the two family heads.

Yang Shan and his two companions only need to seize the opportunity to recover their Dou Qi and wait to steal kills! However, with so many players present, there will always be some daring ones who want to give it a try.

After all, Qin Jian's Dou Qi Armor was broken, which was something all the players had seen.

Chao Bafang noticed that Tang Baizhan had already surrounded him with players from the War Soul Hall.

Chao Bafang slammed his halberd into the ground in all directions and shouted domineeringly:

"Want to steal the kill? Ask me with this halberd!"

"Ba Fang, don't be so vulgar. Let's not talk about halberds anymore, let's be civilized!"

Zhu Tianpeng shook his round belly:

"Beautiful ladies can stay and watch the show, but I have no interest in men. All of you, get out of the way, or don't blame me for my ruthless killing with my Beast Water!"

Tang Baizhan appeared very calm:

"In games, isn't it natural to steal the boss? There are two hundred people behind me, are you two sure you want to block me? It's not easy to reach the Da Dou Shi level!"

"Wow! Two hundred people, I'm so scared!"

Zhu Tianpeng struck his most familiar pose, hands in his pockets:

"Ba Fang, are you a coward?"

Chao Bafang sneered, "In ancient times, Lü Bu led 3,000 soldiers to defeat Cao Cao's 30,000-strong army. Today, Chao Bafang and Marshal Tianpeng joined forces to kill 200 Dou Master. It's no problem!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "What the hell, Marshal Tianpeng? Are you implying that I, your grandpa Zhu, am a pig?"

Chao Bafang: "I didn't say that! Marshal Tianpeng is a Heavenly God True Lord! The head of the Four Sages of the Arctic!"

Zhu Tianpeng's eyes lit up. "Oh? That's awesome? I saw it in Journey to the West."

Chao Bafang: "Marshal Tianpeng is not an original creation of Journey to the West. He has existed in Daoist mythology for a long time. However, Zhu Bajie is indeed a pig, and he usually likes to call himself Grandpa Pig."

Zhu Tianpeng felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. "Are you implying something about me again?"

Listening to Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng chatting and joking around, Tang Baizhan was so angry that his chrysanthemum was practically steaming. He, the dignified president of the War Soul Hall, was actually being ignored by two casual players.

"Brothers, take out these two, and if we get Qin Jian's head, everyone's a thousand-yuan bonus!"
