"Don't even think about escaping! Xinglian, go and stop them! We can't let them get away!" The elder of the Flower Shifting Palace said angrily, his face grim.
Hua Xinglian hesitated, "This... this doesn't seem quite right!"
The elder of the Flower Shifting Palace turned grim upon hearing this and shouted, "What did you say?! Don't forget your place! You are the chief disciple of the Flower Shifting Palace. How dare you disobey your sect's orders?"
Hua Xinglian's face darkened upon hearing this, and she could only rush over to stop the two of them. "Zhiruo! I cannot disobey my master's orders, so I have no choice but to take action against you!"
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Hua Xinglian. "I know! Come on! I don't blame you!"
At this moment, Yue Hanhai and Sun Hongwen hesitated for a moment, then disregarded their elders' objections and gritted their teeth as they ran towards Zhou Zhiruo, shouting, "Junior Sister Zhiruo! We're here to help you!"
At the same time.
Jingling Shitai was engaged in a fierce battle with the two grandmasters. Her Jingling Shitai swirled in the air, condensing a powerful sword aura. She then unleashed a continuous barrage of sword energy, striking the two masters with overwhelming force.
Seeing this, the two sneered and made their moves. Elder Quan unleashed his full power and suddenly used a set of sword moves, which transformed into powerful and majestic sword energies to meet the fierce attack head-on. In mid-air, his sword energy clashed with that of Jingling Shitai, producing a clanging metallic sound.
The figure of the Flower Shifting Palace elder blurred for a moment, then suddenly appeared to the left of Jingling Shitai. He condensed a fierce and sharp pink true energy in his palm and slammed it down, aiming hard at Jingling Shitai's crown. His method was extremely insidious.
Seeing this, Jingling Shitai's eyes narrowed, and she also condensed a Yin Softness yet powerful silver true energy in her palm. She suddenly struck out with a palm print, directly blocking this insidious and deadly palm strike. With a snap, the two palm forces collided, each pouring surging true energy into their palms, clashing against each other's palm forces.
The two were evenly matched, each forced back by the other's palm strike, retreating seven or eight steps in total, showing no clear advantage.
Elder Quan seized the opportunity and launched his attack, unleashing the second move of the Mount Song Swordplay, "Layered Verdant Floating Green." Streams of sharp and fierce true energy condensed in the sword, and he suddenly unleashed fifteen sharp white sword energies.
The combined forces unleashed an astonishing power and incredible speed, hurtling towards Jingling Shitai at breakneck speed. The air ripped apart wherever it passed, its power was extremely domineering!
Upon seeing this, Jingling Shitai was immediately startled. Her inner energy erupted, and she quickly retaliated, unleashing the second move of the Emei Swordplay, "Willow Catkins Fluttering." Streams of Yin Softness, silvery inner energy condensed within the sword, and the longsword drew a continuous trail of sword shadows in the air.
Like willow catkins drifting in the air, the sword light was continuous and dense, as fine as pulled silk. It transformed into hundreds of Yin Softness sharp sword lights, each as fine as a needle or silkworm thread, relentlessly attacking Elder Quan's attack with astonishing power!
"Boom!"
A series of violent collisions rang out as Jingling Shitai's silken sword energy clashed with Elder Quan's powerful sword energy, unleashing a violent surge of sword energy that swept outwards.
Wherever it passed, sword energy crisscrossed, the surrounding trees were suddenly cut into pieces, and sharp sword marks were cleaved in the ground, leaving the entire terrain in a mess, its power was extremely strong!
At this moment, the sword energy of the two suddenly canceled each other out in mid-air, and each of them retreated seven or eight steps, their blood and qi churning. Just then, the attack of the elder of the Flower Shifting Palace also arrived.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the elder of the Flower Shifting Palace unleashed his full power, using the second move of the "Flower Shifting Grafting Three Points into the Wood." Streams of sharp pink true energy gathered throughout his body, and he struck out with both palms, unleashing a sharp and penetrating blue-red palm print.
The palm strike Yin Softness and continuous, exuding a powerful and majestic aura like a century-old flowering tree. Wherever it passed, bursts of energy exploded. It suddenly attacked Jingling Shitai with extremely fierce power!
Jingling Shitai was shocked to see this. At this moment, her blood and qi were not completely suppressed, so she could only grit her teeth and make a move. She used the second move of the "Snowdrift Cloud Piercing Palm". A sharp true qi condensed in her palm and she suddenly struck out with a palm and finger strike. The finger force was swift and sharp.
With incredible speed and a powerful penetrating internal force, like thunder roaring from the clouds, it suddenly thrust its palm into the fierce palm print of the Flower Shifting Palace elder, its power astonishing and domineering!
"Bang--"
A violent explosion rang out as Jingling Shitai's newly pierced Snowdrift Cloud Piercing Palm clashed head-on with Elder Flower Shifting Palace's penetrating Deep Three Points into the Wood, unleashing a violent shockwave that rippled outwards like a surging wave.
It was clear that Jingling Shitai's attack was too hasty, and she couldn't unleash much power. She was forcibly defeated by the palm strike of the Flower Shifting Palace elder, and a penetrating Latent Force drilled into her body, growing in her internal organs like the roots of a tree.
A piercing pain shot through Jingling Shitai's body, almost causing her to faint. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and quickly used her Inner Force to extinguish the seeping Latent Force within her body. Her complexion improved slightly, but some of the energy was still very stubborn and could not be cleared in a short time, so her condition was very bad.
Seeing this, the elder of the Flower Shifting Palace sneered, "You've been struck by my Three Points into the Wood. It's not so easy to remove this Latent Force. I advise you to leave here and properly clear the Latent Force from your body first, or your life will be over!"
Elder Quan smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Yes! Jingling Shitai! If I leave now, we will definitely not stop me, but we are determined to keep Li Changfeng here!"
Upon hearing this, Jingling Shitai's face hardened with determination. She said, "Impossible! I'm going to protect this kid. If you're going to take action, then take action. No need for further words!"
Elder Quan's expression darkened upon hearing this. "Such a fierce temperament truly befits the Emei Shītài! Very well! Since you're courting death, don't blame us! Elders of the Flower Shifting Palace! Let's go!"
At this moment, the two people watching from the sidelines looked helpless. They knew that these two were definitely going to kill Li Changfeng, but they just wanted to save him when he made his deadly move.
This way, they could gain Li Changfeng's gratitude for saving their lives without offending either faction too much. They wanted to be the fisherman who benefited from the conflict between the snipe and the clam, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Jingling Shitai's strong-willed nature ruined everything.
They knew they had no choice but to act now, or they would get everything. So, the two of them flashed and arrived in the middle of the three-way battle.
Elder Wu laughed and said, "Harmony brings wealth! Harmony brings wealth! But it would be terrible if someone died!"
