The one that came at the Love Sect group was Ye Jian from the Mount Hua Sword Sect.
As he charged out at them, he brought his sword down at them.
Lin Fan knitted his brows, but he went forward to block it since he felt that he was the only one that had a chance.
But he found that there was someone else who went forward as well.
Huang Xie charged in front of Lin Fan and raised his arms in front of him. As he did, there was a powerful green light that appeared in his arms.
This green light seemed to be coming from inside of his arms.
It was as if he had gathered the power of his physique into one part of him and used that part of him to block this attack. It was as if he was condensing all of the essence of his defenses into a single part.
That brought his defenses to a completely different level where he was able to resist this one attack from Ye Jian, who had power in the Peak Nascent Soul Realm.
However, when both of them were pushed back…
One side was clearly exhausted while the other side was still raring to go.
That was just the difference in power between the two sides.
Ye Jian was a bit wary because of the defenses that Huang Xie had demonstrated, but he could see that Huang Xie was exhausted because of that one use of his defense. It didn’t seem like Huang Xie would be able to defend again.
That moment of hesitation was all that Huang Xie needed.
“Are you sure about this?” Hei Gui asked Huang Xie at that moment.
Huang Xie revealed a faint smile before saying, “It’s our only choice. It’s not like they’ll let us go.”
Hei Gui gave a sigh before saying, “You’re right, but that master of yours seems to be hiding a lot. I’ve only just met him, but there are many things that I can’t see…”
“It doesn’t matter.” Huang Xie cut Hei Gui off.
Hei Gui was caught off guard by this sudden statement from Huang Xie.
At the same time, he was caught off guard by the firmness that Huang Xie said this with.
Huang Xie just calmly said, “Master was the one who saved me when I was at my lowest and he was the one that raised me up to this point. He is someone that I owe my life to.”
Hei Gui was silent for a bit before saying with a sigh, “A master is like a second father, isn’t he?”
Huang Xie didn’t say anything other than giving a simple nod.
With that, Hei Gui made up his mind and said, “Alright, if we’re doing this, then we’re going to go all out.”
Huang Xie just gave another simple nod in response to this before taking a deep breath.
As soon as he released this deep breath, there was a burst of green light that appeared around him. This green light wasn’t faint like the green light from before, this was a deep green light that seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Other than just growing darker, it seemed like it was also changing colours.
It was almost as if it was turning black.
Eventually it did turn into a black light that surrounded Huang Xie.
As expected of a physique known as the Black Turtle Physique.
However, it seemed like something was wrong based on the pained expression that was on Huang Xie’s face. It almost seemed like he was pushing himself to the brink just for this one attack.
Lin Fan was about to say something, but Huang Xie cut him off by saying, “Leave this to me!”
Then without giving anyone a chance to say anything to stop him, Huang Xie took the first step forward towards Ye Jian.
Ye Jian was caught off guard by this sudden change from Huang Xie as well and he reacted slowly because of it. The other part was that he was overwhelmed by the pressure that was coming from Huang Xie.
He could feel the pressure coming from Huang Xie the moment that the black light appeared around him. It was clear that whatever Huang Xie was doing wasn’t a normal thing.
So after hesitating for a moment, Ye Jian gathered all of his spiritual energy in his sword.
It seemed like he was planning on putting everything that he had into this one attack.
This caused all of the others to move away like they didn’t want to get caught up in this clash.
The black light around Huang Xie became denser and denser until it took the form of a…turtle shell.
This was a turtle shell that was completely made of black light that surrounded Huang Xie.
As this turtle shell appeared around Huang Xie, he suddenly started to bend downwards.
It was as if he was curling himself up into a ball with this turtle shell on his back.
Once he had curled up, Huang Xie suddenly turned around and dashed backwards.
The way that he charged out, the turtle shell was now aimed right at Ye Jian who he was charging at.
Ye Jian narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
Ignoring the pressure that came from this, he raised his sword up and then brought it down in a single swing. This swing didn’t have anything special about it, it was just a simple downwards slash.
However, the moment that it came out, there was sword energy that came out from his sword.
It took the form of a single flying slash that slammed into the black turtle shell.
There was a moment of equilibrium that was established the moment that the two attacks hit each other. However, it wasn’t as if that moment of equilibrium would last forever.
In the end, both of their attacks were sent back in the opposite direction.
Ye Jian let out a sigh of relief when he saw this since he was worried that there was something else that would happen. But it seemed like his attack had been strong enough to negate that attack.
Or that was what he thought until he realized that there was something strange about his sword energy.
It was that his sword energy hadn’t dissipated even though it had been bounced back.
Rather, it seemed like that sword energy was coming right at him and there was this strange black energy that was mixed with this sword energy.
Ye Jian tried to control the energy and make this slash dissipate, but he found that he couldn’t control it at all. Even though it was technically his energy, he found that he couldn’t control it like his connection to this sword energy had been severed.
As it came closer and closer, he found that there was more and more pressure falling on him.
At the same time, because he had been dazed for too long, he found that it was already too late for him to get out of the way.
The only thing that Ye Jian could do now was raise his sword and gather his energy to send out another slash. The only thing that he could do was try to cancel out the power of this sword slash coming at him.
There was a large explosion with a large burst of sword energy that scattered all over.
But in the end, Ye Jian was standing there with a broken sword and was covered in sword cuts. However, he was still standing there, which meant that he wasn’t taken down by this reflected attack.
“God damn it! I almost lost my…” Ye Jian had completely forgotten about his position and the way that he should be talking in his panic and swore like this, but he was cut off by someone who suddenly appeared in front of him.
With his seriously injured condition, he wasn’t able to stop this person from stabbing their sword right into his throat.
Ye Jian’s eyes opened wide in shock as he looked at the person in front of him.
It was Lin Fan who had moved instantly when he saw what Huang Xie was doing.
He knew that it might not be enough and if his disciple was risking his life, then there was only one thing that he could do.
So Lin Fan had charged forward at the same time as Huang Xie.
While everyone was distracted, he got right up in front of Ye Jian and stabbed him.
His sword was a special artifact that could even kill dragons, so it was sharp enough to pierce through Ye Jian’s defenses.
Ye Jian just looked down at the sword in shock as he couldn’t believe this, but there was nothing that he could do as his vision blacked out and he fell backwards.
He never would have thought that this was the way that he died.
Lin Fan didn’t care about him at all as he went back to where Huang Xie was.
He had a very worried look on his face at first, but he soon found that Huang Xie was fine.
It didn’t seem like Huang Xie was injured at all.
It seemed like the black turtle shell had completely blocked that attack for him.
But Huang Xie was holding the necklace that was in his hand as he said, “Grandpa, you can’t leave me like this.”
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this.
It turned out that the price for this attack wasn’t Huang Xie’s life, but rather the remaining power contained within Hei Gui.
