“Enough nonsense!” Dantai Long fumed, his anger evident as he puffed out his cheeks and glared. Just as he was about to chase after Tuoba Yingying, Mu Mengyi anxiously interjected, “Senior, Yingying has her own plans, just let her go!”
Dantai Long glanced at Mu Mengyi, then sighed and nodded helplessly, “This girl Yingying is fine as long as nothing happens. If something does, I really don’t know how to explain it to the sovereign!”
In the Sea of Clouds, Tuoba Yingying had maximized her flying speed. After determining Jin Xuzi’s location with her spiritual sense, she focused her mind, held her breath, and activated the invisibility technique, traversing through the vast sea of clouds...
At this moment, Jin Xuzi and Yuwen Jinglun were engaged in a fierce battle six hundred thousand miles to the west of the Heavenly Palace Square, both heavily injured and pale.
Currently, Yuwen Jinglun had not only lost his left leg but his sword-wielding right arm had also severely deformed, with three gaping wounds on his chest.
Two of these wounds exposed the bone, while the other was left after Jin Xuzi stabbed through his chest with his sword!
In contrast, Jin Xuzi's previously skeletal left arm had vanished, and his abdomen had three bloody holes, each penetrating through his body, with blood gushing from his abdomen and lower back.
Especially on his neck, two more sword wounds had appeared, adding to the previous one, causing blood to spout from the three wounds.
His right cheek had also been cleaved off by Yuwen Jinglun’s sword from above!
From the three wounds on Jin Xuzi's neck, it was easy to imagine that he had been decapitated three times by Yuwen Jinglun.
From the wound on his face, it could be inferred that Yuwen Jinglun had aimed a lethal strike at Jin Xuzi’s head, and after Jin Xuzi narrowly avoided the fatal blow, his right cheek had been sliced off!
The gruesome appearance of both men was enough to signify their severe injuries.
However, on the surface, Jin Xuzi seemed to be worse off, but in reality, Yuwen Jinglun's injuries were far more critical!
This was because none of Jin Xuzi's wounds were fatal, while the sword wound on Yuwen Jinglun's chest pierced through his heart. Fortunately, his heart was damaged, but the heart meridians remained intact.
If Jin Xuzi had been a fraction of an inch to the left with that strike, Yuwen Jinglun would have been dead!
“Clang, clang, clang—”
In the sky, after a brief exchange of sword blows, Jin Xuzi weakly shouted, “Yuwen Jinglun, you old fool, this patriarch will never be left in the Huangfu Sacred Sect!”
With a clang, Jin Xuzi staggered and, with a forceful swing, pushed Yuwen Jinglun back thousands of feet, sternly declaring, “This is the outcome of your final battle with me, Yuwen Jinglun; you shall die!”
“Whoosh!”
“Woooo—”
Jin Xuzi wielded his sword in his right arm and hurled it toward Yuwen Jinglun. Instantly, the Flying Sword expanded to ten feet, piercing through the void, and shot towards Yuwen Jinglun’s chest!
Despair emerged on Yuwen Jinglun’s aged face; with such heavy injuries, he had neither the strength nor the will to dodge!
“Roar!”
At this life-and-death moment, a deafening roar echoed through the skies.
Behold, an eight-hundred-foot-tall heavenly slayer demon ape extended its thirty-foot massive right palm from above Yuwen Jinglun, covering him entirely!
“Chop him down!” Jin Xuzi spat blood, his voice hoarse with anger as he shouted. The previously shot Supreme Holy Artifact Flying Sword suddenly transformed into a hundred-foot-long blade, aimed downward toward the heavenly slayer demon ape's right palm!
“Puchi—Clang!”
As purple-black fur flew, torrents of crimson blood sprayed from the heavenly slayer demon ape’s right palm. Although the hundred-foot sword aura sliced through the right palm, it emitted a crisp sound upon striking the bone!
“How could this be!” Jin Xuzi exclaimed in disbelief. “With my strength, even a Supreme Holy Artifact’s passive defense should be shattered! How can your bones be so hard!”
