"Could it be that she has regained her memory? Otherwise, how could she have condensed the Heavenly Profound Ice Armor and the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Sword!" Tan Yun's heart sank.
Immediately, Tan Yun shook his head again. In his view, Xuan Yuan Rou had not yet regained her memory; otherwise, she would have had a strong reaction upon seeing the primordial chaos god-slaying sword in his hand.
While Tan Yun was still confused, Xuan Yuan Rou, clad in the bright red Heavenly Profound Ice Armor, suddenly swung the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Sword!
In an instant, the sky collapsed. In the vast, pitch-black void, a blood-red sword aura, radiating a chilling air, surged upward, clashing against the ten thousand zhang sword aura!
"Bang—"
"Rumble!"
At the moment the two sword auras met in the void, a vast storm of power erupted like a nebula exploding at a height of several hundred thousand zhang!
As Tan Yun watched anxiously, he saw Xuan Yuan Rou’s blood-red thousand zhang sword aura collapse in the face of the deathly Emperor's power condensed ten thousand zhang sword aura!
Although the ten thousand zhang black sword aura shattered the thousand zhang blood-red sword aura, it shrank down to a hundred zhang and struck Xuan Yuan Rou's chest!
"Bang!"
"Crash!"
The Heavenly Profound Ice Armor that had formed around Xuan Yuan Rou shattered instantly, and she was struck with violent force, her long hair cascading as she plummeted!
As she fell, Xuan Yuan Rou spewed blood, her appearance tragically beautiful!
The reason Xuan Yuan Rou was successfully ambushed by Long Xiaolin was fundamentally due to her distraction upon seeing Tan Yun's primordial chaos god-slaying sword.
"Rou'er, quickly escape to me!" Tan Yun shouted with red eyes, soaring into the air and hovering at the edge of the formation.
As Xuan Yuan Rou fell from the sky, blood pouring from her mouth, she used all her strength to carve a huge arc through the void, flying towards Tan Yun.
"Xuan Yuan Rou, you cannot escape!" With an old, cold laugh, Long Xiaolin, enveloped in the death attribute Emperor's power, brandished his sword and dived down from the Sea of Clouds, charging at Xuan Yuan Rou!
When Xuan Yuan Rou was three hundred Celestial Li away from the formation, Long Xiaolin had already appeared five hundred Celestial Li behind her.
"Tan Yun, don’t worry about me!" Xuan Yuan Rou gazed at Tan Yun, tears brimming in her eyes, "Don’t worry about me! And don't open the City Defense Formation!"
"I’m seriously injured and won’t make it inside! If I can’t get in and Long Xiaolin does, you’ll be doomed!"
Tan Yun clenched his fists tightly and shouted, "If I don’t save you, you will die! Hurry and listen to me, fly over here!"
As Xuan Yuan Rou flew, blood continued to surge from her mouth, yet in her tear-filled gaze toward Tan Yun, a hint of tenderness shone through as she transmitted, "Tan Yun, as long as you are safe, I have no regrets in death."
"If I die, make sure to take care of my uncle. Tan Yun, I love…"
Just as Xuan Yuan Rou was about to say "you," her voice suddenly cut off, as if she had seen a terrifying scene, crying out, "Tan Yun, don’t come out!"
Tears streamed down Xuan Yuan Rou's face, and Tan Yun, resolute, flew out of the Ten Thousand Dragons City Defense Formation toward her at high speed!
Inside the formation, Shen Subing could hardly believe that Tan Yun would charge out of the City Defense Formation for Xuan Yuan Rou!
"Husband, why are you doing this!" Shen Subing transmitted, preparing to fly out of the formation, but paused mid-air, recalling Tan Yun’s voice, "Subing, don’t come out!"
"I have a chance to bring her back into the City Defense Formation!"
"Subing, there are things from the past that you don’t know. Although Xuan Yuan Rou is my mortal enemy, she is also... In short, I owe her!"
"The situation is complicated, and it’s all before we got married. I’ll tell you later!"
"Anyway, I owe her a lot, and now I must save her! Even if there’s only a slim chance, I have to save her!"
