Chapter 1997 1998: Ruthless Assassin
Sun Wei turned around to leave, but at this moment the old man suddenly took action, saying, "It's not that easy to leave."
After speaking, he swung his longsword at Sun Wei with a quick and powerful slash. Sun Wei, being at the Middle Stage of Dawen Realm, could not possibly withstand it.
Ling Zhenfei knew he had to act now; he suddenly intervened, drawing his Tang sword, and using the Defense Mantra from the Boundless Blade Technique to neutralize the sword's Northern Spiritual Energy.
However, the sword's energy was still too strong. Sun Wei also punched the blade, finally dispersing the energy.
The old man was surprised and said, "Impressive, you managed to defuse my sword attack."
Sun Wei replied, "Senior, we're merely passing through, there's no feud between us, why resort to assassination?"
The old man said, "You've seen the Blood Oath Sect's secret technique, so you must die."
With that, he charged at Sun Wei and Ling Zhenfei.
If the old man truly attacked, none of the four of them might stand a chance.
Ling Zhenfei was anxious, knowing now wasn't the time for a head-on clash.
Sun Wei shouted, "If you kill us, aren't you afraid of Wuliang Mountain's revenge?"
The old man sneered, "Our Blood Oath Sect fears no one."
Then he swung his longsword at Sun Wei and Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei suddenly thought of something and shouted to Murong Liuqing, "Liu Qing, attack that eagle."
Murong Liuqing was prepared; although unsure why Ling Zhenfei targeted the eagle, she trusted there must be a reason.
Her flute released a surge of Northern Spiritual Energy towards the eagle controlled by Blood Son.
At that moment, Blood Son was using a secret technique on the eagle, which was evidently crucial to him. Attacking it could thwart Blood Son's efforts.
Thus, Ling Zhenfei aimed to attack the eagle, achieving a strategy akin to rescuing Zhao by attacking Wei.
Sure enough, the old man had to care about the eagle. The sword aimed at Ling Zhenfei and Sun Wei now reversed to slash at Murong Liuqing's flute.
Ling Zhenfei knew his plan worked and shouted to Zhang Zhenlin, "Pin it down!"
Of course, they weren't pinning down the old man; their target was that eagle.
With the eagle and Blood Son immobile, they became sitting ducks.
Initially, it was the old man aiming to attack them; now it turned into Ling Zhenfei besieging Blood Son, with the old man attempting a rescue.
Recognizing they must fight to the death, the four of them divided into four frontlines attacking Blood Son.
The old man wielded sword qi in all directions to shield Blood Son from the Northern Spiritual Energy.
After several rounds, the old man angrily shouted, "You shameless brats! My disciple is at a critical moment, yet you attack him."
Ling Zhenfei retorted, "You're the elder bullying us children, that's truly shameless."
Sun Wei said, "You have such thick skin, you're so old yet trouble us, do you even have shame?"
Zhang Zhenlin added fuel to the fire, "Don't blame them; struggling with someone like him results in bullying to display strength, showing us we can't defeat him."
Sun Wei said, "We're just thirty, you must be at least seventy or eighty; you're only one realm higher, isn't that shameful?"
Zhang Zhenlin said, "When we reach the Foreign Land Space, we'll achieve the Pursue Heart State; then, you won't be able to bully us."
The old man was furious, his face reddened, and he shouted, "You brats, I'll kill you all!"
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "You said you'd kill us, then do it! You're only higher in the Pursue Heart State, we can't retaliate anyway.
But be warned, if you kill us, we'll guarantee to kill your disciple, and the eagle."
The old man yelled, "You think you can escape? I doubt you won't go to Xianling Mountain or visit the Foreign Land Space."
Ling Zhenfei said, "We'll see then; who lives or dies isn't for us to decide."
The old man furiously shouted, "I'll kill you today."
With that, he swung Northern Spiritual Energy at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was fearless now; they attacked from four sides, forcing the old man to handle one side. Once he attacked, he had to deal with others.
If the old man could continuously attack Ling Zhenfei two or three times, he'd definitely be unable to counter.
After dispelling the sword's Northern Spiritual Energy with his Boundless Blade Technique Defense Mantra, Ling Zhenfei counterattacked Blood Son with Northern Spiritual Energy.
Previously, they were pursued so desperately; Ling Zhenfei yearned for vengeance this time.
But revenge wasn't that simple; the old man quickly returned to attack Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei knew they couldn't delay; if they did, Blood Son would subdue the eagle, and they'd suffer.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Guys, don't hold back, we won't escape without our trump cards."
Sun Wei and the others were smart; they understood and changed formation, using their ultimate moves.
Yet Ling Zhenfei thought of something even better.
Ling Zhenfei reached into his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and retrieved a small gourd.
This gourd was acquired last time against Blood Son, perfect for use now.
Upon opening the gourd cap, powerful Northern Spiritual Energy surged towards Blood Son.
The intense flame carried extremely strong Northern Spiritual Energy, seeming capable of burning anything.
The old man was busy dealing with Sun Wei and others, surprised by Ling Zhenfei's possession. Hastily, he condensed Northern Spiritual Energy before Blood Son.
But the flame was overwhelming, looping back and continuing towards Blood Son.
Ling Zhenfei emitted Northern Spiritual Energy from the gourd, its flames rapidly engulfing Blood Son.
The old man failed to block in time, the flame burned Blood Son and even the eagle.
The old man hurriedly circled Northern Spiritual Energy, encasing himself and Blood Son.
A fiery orb formed, burning on that circle of energy.
Ling Zhenfei knew the opportunity arrived, shouting to Sun Wei and others, "Don't wait, we can't kill him; hurry and run."
Understanding, they all ran into the distance.
Ling Zhenfei watched Sun Wei and the others flee afar before pocketing the gourd and sprinting away.
Northern Spiritual Energy coursed under Ling Zhenfei's feet, enabling him to swiftly escape a great distance.
