Zhong Fengyue frowned and was just about to step forward when Cang Nanyan drew out the Heaven - Bestowed Sword in his hand and pointed it straight at Zhong Fengyue.
The wind from the sword came surging, and Zhong Fengyue tilted his body to dodge the sword.
"Sir Zhong's light - footed skill really makes this old man admire," Cang Nanyan said gravely, but showed no mercy in his actions.
"I'm flattered," Zhong Fengyue chuckled. Beneath his white gauze hat, his ink - colored eyes sparkled.
Zhong Fengyue dodged several times in succession. Wang Chengyang was about to step forward to help when Jiang Li suddenly blocked his way with his body.
"Guard Wang, let's have some fun," Jiang Li said with a rather suave smile, crossing his arms and his eyes brimming with amusement.
Wang Chengyang unceremoniously struck out with a hand - knife. Jiang Li caught it with one arm and counter - attacked with a move.
Everyone watched the chaotic scene, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Master, go and help Sir Zhong quickly," Mu Lianyi said anxiously, tugging at the sleeve of Master Tong.
Master Tong glanced at his beloved disciple and sighed softly. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he dared not. Helping Zhong Fengyue now would be tantamount to opposing the alliance leader...
Wei Feng turned to look at Cang Nanyan, stood up, drew out the short dagger in his hand, and flung it at the Heaven - Bestowed Sword that was about to strike Zhong Fengyue's shoulder.
With a crisp "snap", at the moment when the Cold - Resistant Dagger struck, the Heaven - Bestowed Sword in Cang Nanyan's hand broke into two pieces...
Both Island Master Tang and Elder Wei's expressions changed.
The Heaven - Bestowed Sword was broken by the Cold - Resistant Dagger? Shouldn't the Heaven - Bestowed Sword be extremely tough...
Wei Feng was also visibly stunned, and Cang Nanyan looked utterly incredulous. The alliance leader and Chu Weixin both looked at the broken piece of the Heaven - Bestowed Sword on the ground and were also stunned.
"Oh no, the Heaven - Bestowed Sword is broken," Jiang Li said, shaking his head in feigned regret. Suddenly, taking advantage of Wang Chengyang's momentary distraction, he flew out a palm, sending Wang Chengyang staggering back a few steps and forcing out a mouthful of blood. "Sorry, Guard Wang," he said with a suave smile, showing his white teeth.
Su Xiaoliu on this side also didn't expect such a thing to happen. She stared blankly at the broken Heaven - Bestowed Sword...
"Mas... Master..." Mu Lianyi stared blankly at the scene in front of her and was as stunned as Chong Xiao beside her.
Master Tong was already so shocked that he didn't hear what his beloved disciple said at all.
Su Xiaoliu looked up at Zhong Fengyue, observing his expression. Although his face couldn't be seen, the diamond - shaped lips that were exposed still held a faint smile, as if he didn't mind at all.
Mo Xin took two steps forward and handed the sword wrapped in cloth to Zhong Fengyue.
Zhong Fengyue took the sword and in front of everyone, he pulled off the plain cloth, revealing a divine blue - silver sword...
"The Heaven - Bestowed Sword?" Cang Nanyan was taken aback. He looked at the sword in Zhong Fengyue's hand and then at the broken sword in his own hand. Suddenly, as if he understood something, he angrily threw the long sword in his hand down. "It's a fake sword!"
A fake sword?
Everyone was shocked again.
"How could the young master so easily let the Heaven - Bestowed Sword fall into someone else's hands? Cang Nanyan, you didn't expect this," a charming and coquettish female voice suddenly came from behind everyone. Everyone looked back.
A charming woman in a purple - flowered robe slowly walked out. Her delicate face had attractive features, willow - like eyebrows, and lips like red dots. Beside her stood a hawk - eyed man in a royal - blue long robe...
"Star - Mistress Dong?"
"Chang He?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the newcomers.
Jiang Li's expression changed. He walked over, looked at Duanmu You, his eyes filled with hidden worry, and said, "Why did you come?"
Duanmu You looked at Jiang Li, her face showing joy, but suddenly remembering something, she said, "I asked Chang He to bring me here."
Everyone then looked at Chang He beside her. He still had a poker - face.
Wang Chengyang endured the sharp pain in his shoulder blade, looked up at Chang He, and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.
When the alliance leader saw Chang He, he was first stunned and then angrily said, "Guard Chang, what's going on?"
"I'm really sorry, alliance leader. I'm no longer a guard," Chang He looked at the alliance leader, standing with his hands behind his back, and said coolly.
Seeing an opportunity, Wang Chengyang quickly added fuel to the fire and said, "Alliance leader, this subordinate has long said that Guard Chang has long wanted to rebel against the alliance leader..."
The alliance leader looked at Chang He in surprise. He then looked at Duanmu You and immediately recognized her. She was actually the Star - Mistress Dong of the Heaven - Bestowed Sect? He then looked at Zhong Fengyue, and finally his gaze landed on Chang He again. He was so angry that he laughed instead. "Good, very good. Everyone has rebelled..."
Regardless of what was happening over there, the Ghost King Nie gathered his strength and suddenly grabbed Su Xiaoliu's wrist.
A sharp pain shot through her wrist. Su Xiaoliu frowned and thought to herself: Oh no, it must be broken this time!
"Give me the Rebirth Fruit," the Ghost King Nie said coldly.
Gu Rongxue didn't give him a chance to use more force. He reached out and grabbed the Ghost King Nie's wrist, saying coldly, "Ghost King Nie, let go quickly!" His hand tightened little by little.
Seeing Su Xiaoliu's situation, Zhong Fengyue felt a faint sense of worry in his heart. He drew out the Heaven - Bestowed Sword, pointed it at Cang Nanyan, and said, "Grand - Master Cang, you've lost."
Chu Weixin didn't know when he had gotten behind the Ghost King Nie. The tip of his sword was less than an inch away from the Ghost King Nie.
"Nie Jing, swords and blades show no mercy. Don't blame it for not sparing your life," Chu Weixin said softly in a voice only he could hear.
The cold air came from the tip of the sword. The Ghost King Nie knew that he wouldn't gain any advantage if things continued like this, so he slowly let go of his hand.
Su Xiaoliu quickly grabbed the hand that had been pinched with her other hand and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't broken yet and she still had some feeling...
"Let's go quickly," Chu Weixin grabbed the collar of Su Xiaoliu. Su Xiaoliu stared at him with her almond - shaped eyes. Ignoring her resistance, Chu Weixin looked at Gu Rongxue. The two nodded, and taking advantage of the Ghost King Nie's inattention, they gathered strength in their feet and flew out of the cave with Su Xiaoliu.
Seeing the divine doctor and Gu Rongxue taking Su Xiaoliu away, everyone also planned to go up.
"Stop them for me!" the alliance leader shouted coldly, seizing control of the originally loose situation once again.
For a moment, everything was in chaos again.
Jiang Li and Duanmu You glanced at each other and flew out together. Island Master Tang and Elder Wei didn't dare to stay either. The alliance leader was now determined to catch everyone. A wise man knows when to yield. The two followed Jiang Li and the others and flew up. Zhong Fengyue put away his sword, glanced at Mo Xin, and the two nodded, then quickly followed and flew out. Wei Feng supported Tang Yuyan. Tang Yuyan suddenly looked back at Cang Luoyao who was standing there blankly not far away. She glanced at Wei Feng, then quickly ran over and pulled Cang Luoyao along. Cang Luoyao didn't resist. Tang Yuyan heaved a sigh of relief. Wei Feng helped the Ancient Immortal Elder, and the two glanced at each other, nodded, and flew up before Wang Chengyang could catch up.
Master Tong was too timid. Just as he was about to escape, he was blocked by Wang Chengyang. When the two female disciples behind him saw that they couldn't leave, they immediately looked terrified...
