What to do...
She couldn't possibly stop two Heavenly God Realm cultivators at their peak strength anymore...
Luo Ruying's heart was like dead ashes.
At this moment, the Miasma Poison had almost spread throughout her body. Enduring the excruciating pain in her internal organs, she didn't even have the strength to lift her sword.
Even delaying for a little bit longer was impossible...
"This one must be the Immortal Realm woman, Luo Ruying, whom the superior from the upper realm has named."
"The fairy's appearance is indeed extraordinary..."
"Where's her child?"
Su Sheng looked at Luo Ruying, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Seeing only her, he frowned slightly and asked the Ghost Husband.
The task given to them by the lord above was to bring back Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye.
They were specifically instructed to bring back Luo Hongye alive, which indicated that her importance was certainly much higher than Luo Ruying's.
Feeling displeased with Su Sheng's questioning tone, the Ghost Husband raised his hand and pointed toward the forest behind Luo Ruying, saying impatiently:
"A mortal man took that girl and fled into the woods."
"Not only did you almost get killed by a Celestial Human Realm woman, but you also let the child escape in front of you…?"
"The rumored Corpse Puppet Ghost Venerable seems to have been overestimated."
Lu Jian cast a cold glance at the Ghost Husband, his mockery undisguised.
He was very dissatisfied that the Ghost Husband had let the child escape.
"You...! Hmph!"
The Ghost Husband was infuriated, but could only snort coldly, choosing to swallow his anger.
He was now seriously injured and absolutely dared not provoke Su Sheng and Lu Jian.
"Let's deal with this woman first, then quickly go after that child!"
Lu Jian's Spirit Sword was unsheathed from his waist, and a several-zhang long sword light slashed towards Luo Ruying!
Luo Ruying watched the sword light approach, her hand unable to lift her Immortal Sword, staring straight at death...
Just as the sword light was about to reach her, a figure suddenly appeared silently in front of her.
That person was wearing a black robe and had their back to her, making it impossible to see their face.
The person in the black robe simply extended a finger and gently tapped the sword light, and the sword light instantly vanished!
This scene astonished everyone present.
A sword strike from the peak of the Heavenly God Realm was so easily dispelled?!
Lu Jian frowned deeply.
He was hailed as the number one Sword Immortal in the world, with extremely high attainments in swordsmanship, unmatched by anyone.
Yet, someone had blocked his attack with a single finger!
His pride would never allow him to be so humiliated in public!
"Heavenly Sword: Gale's Demise!"
Lu Jian channeled all of his spiritual energy, his sharp aura like an invisible sword aimed straight at the sky!
The Spirit Sword in his hand unleashed a sword beam, dozens of meters long and swirling with gales!
Ning Ye Chen simply raised his finger, the tip of his nail lightly touching the sword beam, which then dissipated like a gentle breeze.
Everyone was shocked once more.
The Ghost Husband and Su Sheng knew how terrifying Lu Jian's strength was, yet he couldn't even scratch the person before them!
Lu Jian could no longer maintain his calm and arrogant expression, his face filled with shock.
His full-power sword strike, capable of splitting mountains and seas, was so easily deflected...?
"You, just who are you?!"
Lu Jian questioned in disbelief.
Ning Ye Chen didn't pay him any mind, instead turning his head to look at Luo Ruying.
He wore a demon mask on his face, so he didn't have to worry about being recognized.
Seeing her face, green with the miasma poison's erosion, twitch slightly as she endured the excruciating pain, his heart ached.
Really...
She just had to be stubborn when she couldn't handle it...
Ning Ye Chen flicked an elixir, its color shimmering with spiritual energy, into Luo Ruying's hand and said in a deep, aged voice,
"This elixir can dispel the Miasma Poison in your body and help you recover from your injuries. Take it quickly."
"Thank you, Senior...!"
Luo Ruying didn't hesitate and quickly swallowed the elixir. The potent spiritual energy of the medicine nourished her entire body. The Miasma Poison within her was swiftly eradicated, and the searing, burning pain she had felt was gone.
The medicine's effects were incredibly powerful!
Seeing Luo Ruying's complexion improve and her body showing no major issues, Ning Ye Chen breathed a small sigh of relief. His gaze shifted towards the Ghost Husbands, his killing intent fully revealed!
The terrifying killing intent made the Ghost Husbands tremble in their hearts, their bodies completely unable to move!
This was a feeling of fear they had almost never experienced before!
The killing intent of a person could actually be this terrifying!
Who exactly was he?!
All of the Ghost Husband's hearts were filled with this question.
They had never heard of such a person in the world…!
Ning Ye Chen reached out a hand towards the Ghost Husband, gently twisting his palm.
In the next second, the Ghost Husband's body and limbs began to twist and contort uncontrollably. The sound of bones breaking crackled, and the intense tearing pain caused the Ghost Husband to let out a heart-wrenching scream!
"Aaaah!!!"
"Pr-predecessor, spare, spare me!"
"Pfft!"
Ning Ye Chen didn't stop, and in moments, he twisted the Ghost Husband into a pretzel, his death incredibly gruesome!
Even his soul was twisted and dissipated!
This scene completely terrified Lu Jian and Su Sheng, who widened their eyes.
The Ghost Husband, who was on par with them, was just killed like that?!
Ning Ye Chen's gaze turned to Lu Jian and Su Sheng, and they immediately felt a chill of death sweep over their bodies!
"E-Elder, wait a moment!"
"Why are you attacking us, have your juniors offended you in any way?"
Su Sheng hurriedly raised his hand and shouted.
He had a very certain feeling that even if he joined forces with Lu Jian, they would definitely not be a match for the person in front of them!
"The reason for this one to kill you is very simple. You have touched this one's Reverse Scale!"
Ning Ye Chen replied coldly.
"Re, Reverse Scale...?"
Lu Jian and Su Sheng looked blank.
What had they done?
How had they touched his Reverse Scale?
This time, Ning Ye Chen didn't bother to answer them. He joined his hands together, forming a blade, and slashed towards Lu Jian!
Lu Jian was greatly alarmed and hastily raised his sword to block. The invisible sword qi severed the Spirit Sword in his hand, passing directly through his body!
"This, this is impossible..."
Lu Jian maintained the posture of holding his sword, his expression filled with disbelief. Then, a thin line appeared on his neck, and blood spurted out, sending him plummeting from the sky!
A generation of Sword Immortals had fallen!
Even Lu Jian's soul couldn't escape his body, and was split in two along with his body!
At this moment, Su Sheng's fear had reached its peak. His gaze turned towards Ning Ye Chen, and he was so frightened that cold sweat poured down his body. He quickly threw out an Immortal Talisman.
The Immortal Talisman's light bloomed, and Su Sheng's figure instantly disappeared!
When Su Sheng reappeared, he was already a thousand miles away.
But he still didn't dare to stop for a moment, continuing to transform into a divine rainbow and rush towards the distance.
His intuition told him he had to escape quickly! Otherwise, he would die!
He shouldn't have been seduced by those people from the upper realm in the first place, fantasizing about the dream of ascending to the Immortal Realm!
Now not only was his dream shattered, but the life he had cultivated for hundreds of years was also in danger!
He was filled with regret, and only one thought remained in his mind:
Get away from here quickly!
For this, he didn't hesitate to use his most life-saving Thousand-Mile Divine Escape Talisman!
Ning Ye Chen watched Su Sheng flee and didn't immediately give chase. Instead, he turned and walked to Luo Ruying, placing his hand on her forehead.
After confirming she was unharmed, he was finally relieved.
This intimate gesture startled Luo Ruying. She quickly took a step back to create distance, cupping her hands in a gesture of thanks.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving me!"
Seeing the black-robed man utterly crush the Ghost Husband and Lu Jian, Luo Ruying knew this person was definitely not a cultivator from the human realm!
From the words that touched his Reverse Scale, she had already guessed his identity!
