Chapter 109: Although Defeated, but with HonourWhen the two clashed, the power of the blue and red instantly burst into a dazzling light.
The earth trembled and shook a few times as the overflowing power of the two swept across the surrounding area. Everyone quickly mobilized the double-layered defence of an Elemental Energy shield plus a defence-type Magic Treasure.
[CRACK!!] The surrounding trees all collapsed, creating loud cracking noises.
Lou Mu Yan started fixedly at the cluster of light in mid-air. The Fire Dragon gradually disappeared and although the blue Jiao’s colour dimmed quite a bit, it still flew towards her with terrifying force, breaking through the red, foggy light without stopping.
Most of the Spiritual Energy within her body was used for the Fire Elemental Energy Condensation. She could only use the remaining bit of Spiritual Energy to turn into a transparent circle of light to envelop herself.
With a snap of her fingers, the jade runes on the Fire Dragon instantly rotated.
A palm-sized jade-coloured transparent Azure Dragon emerged from the disappearing Fire Dragon and arrived first in front of Lou Mu Yan at the speed of lightning.
[BOOM BOOM!!] Although the jade-coloured Rune Dragon was small, but the power that burst from within wasn’t weaker than the previously condensed Fire Dragon.
After a few loud blasts, the blue Jiao Dragon and the jade-coloured Rune Dragon both vanished into oblivion in this world.
“PU!!”
After all the light curtains dissipated, Lou Mu Yan spewed out a few mouthfuls of blood and her body was blown back by the blue Jiao Dragon’s remaining force.
“Yan’er!”
“Mu Yan!”
“Lou Mu Yan!”
“Elder Sister Mu Yan!”
Different voices sounded at the same time in anxiety and worry.
Her feet kept sliding backwards and her waist-length black hair flew, unbridled. A few more mouthfuls of blood spurt out, then finally, she stopped at around a hundred metres away.
She held her chest and stabilised her figure with a stream of blood flowing out of her lips. Her face remained unchanged as she raised her head, her eyes looking at Xin Bo Jian with endless coldness and said: “Today’s blow, I took it. It will be returned a hundred times in the future.”
The current her couldn’t be considered fine. Her abdomen was churning with blood and force, obviously having suffered internal injuries.
If it weren’t that the Flesh-Refining Skill was about to break through to the second layer and her body’s toughness was comparable to that of a Tier 5 Demonic Beast, she was afraid that a few ribs would be broken today.
Ever since arriving at Tian’ling Continent, it was the first time she had been in such a sorry state. But she didn’t regret her behaviour.
What was there to fear!
She didn’t lose at all in this battle. From the battle with Xin Bo Jian earlier, she understood the strength of a Sword Sovereign and saw through the gap between herself and a Sword Sovereign powerhouse. Her desire to grow even stronger was burning fervently.
Although Lou Mu Yan was injured at this time, but her imposing manner had not diminished the slightest. Instead, she unconsciously revealed a sense of dominance, of wildness and arrogance within this world, startling everyone.
This woman was definitely a lunatic. She was already vomiting blood and was injured yet she still dared to speak so harshly against Xin Bo Jian.
But many people also acknowledged Lou Mu Yan’s strength in their hearts. After all, one might well ask, who dared to take on a blow from a Sword Sovereign powerhouse at a Sword Spirit cultivation base.
Although she was severely injured, but she was still like a snow plum, standing proudly in the snow, its delicate fragrance brightening one’s eyes. Such courage was worthy of admiration.
And her Elemental Energy Condensation, along with the jade-coloured Rune Dragon used later, also made many completely acknowledge her strength.
Lou Mu Yan was not simply a useless vase that only looked good. For a long time now, she was no longer the trash that was once spoken of amongst people.
The her today, although didn’t have the strength to fight a Sword Sovereign, but she had an imposing manner no weaker than a Sword Sovereign powerhouse.
The gap in cultivation base opened an insurmountable distance, but many people thought that she hadn’t lost.
Just from that one confrontation now, although Lou Mu Yan was defeated, it was with honour.
Xin Bo Jian obviously didn’t expect that Lou Mu Yan would take on his Water Jiao made from Elemental Energy Condensation. He didn’t use all his strength just now, but he also used at least six or seven-tenths.
What shocked him the most wasn’t the Fire Dragon condensed from Elemental Energy, but the jade-coloured Rune Dragon that emerged from the Fire Dragon. That Rune Dragon actually gave him a faint sense of danger.
If Lou Mu Yan’s cultivation base was comparable to his, or was at Middle-Phase Sword Monarch cultivation base, in a battle like just now, he was afraid that he would inevitably be injured.
This woman must not remain alive—this was the firm thought that rose in Xin Bo Jian’s mind.
“Presumptuous, go die!” Xin Bo Jian also disregarded the dignity of the strong. Provoked by Lou Mu Yan’s words, a huge, dark blue sword appeared in his hand. He channelled eight or nine-tenths of Elemental Energy into it, then he swung hard.
An even more violent and raging sword aura erupted, which was even stronger than the Jiao Dragon made from Water Elemental Energy Condensation. The violent gust of wind, combined with a sword aura, headed directly towards Lou Mu Yan’s forehead.
“Mo Yan!” Lou Mu Yan rubbed the blood on her lips and looked at Xin Bo Jian raising his sword with coldness and indifference in her eyes.
Mo Yan’s eyes grew cold, and the pressure of a King-Class Demonic Beast gradually spread out.
When he was just about to use his innate talent to fight together with Lou Mu Yan, suddenly a sword aura that was not weaker than Xin Bo Jian’s came from the side.
[HU HU!!]
Two sword auras clashed instantly, but unexpectedly, it didn’t explode with any energy fluctuation.
The sword aura that came from the side seemed to carry a power that contained the Heaven and earth, instantly merging with Xin Bo Jian’s sword aura, and then squeezed out from a small crack in space. Neither of the two sword auras affected the people present.
Then the Space Rift that had been forcibly torn open quickly closed and a voice came from Ye Qing Han’s direction.
“Xin Bo Jian, that is enough, don’t lose the face of a Sword Sovereign powerhouse.”
At this moment, a handsome and beautiful silver-haired man suddenly appeared beside Ye Qing Han with a very gentle and soft smile on his face, as if he could pardon everything.
Seeing that the crisis was temporarily resolved, Mo Yan immediately dissipated the King-Class pressure that was about to take form, taking the chance when people weren’t paying attention. The Demonic Energy that was churning inside his body returned to calmness.
The hand-seal that Lan Si was forming within his sleeves also instantly came to a stop. He calmed down and retracted the power in his dan’tian that was about to open a layer of his Seal.
“Ye Zhan.” Xin Bo Jian looked at the person that arrived and his pupils constricted.
Hearing Xin Bo Jian’s voice, the eyes of all the people present turned to the silver-haired man in black clothes who just appeared.
Ye Zhan, the youngest Sword Sovereign in the Ye Clan and even among the Ten Distinguished Clans. At only twenty-six, he had stepped into the ranks of a Sword Sovereign powerhouse and became the peerless genius of the Ten Distinguished Clans that was hard to find even in a hundred years.
His talent and strength, compared to the strongest talented elites of the other three Regions on this Continent, was only superior and not inferior. He was also the idol in the hearts of countless elite pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans.
“Ye Zhan, are you going to intervene now?” Xin Bo Jian’s expression was fearfully grim.
He didn’t expect that Ye Qing Han and Ye Qing Le was actually able to invite Ye Zhan to help Lou Mu Yan. This man who was always wearing a tolerant and soft smile made Xin Bo Jian dislike him extremely.
Although Ye Zhan, who had just passed thirty, hadn’t yet broken through Sword Sovereign to the next step, but even he couldn’t see through the strength of this person. What made him most afraid was that Ye Zhan also had a Tier 7 Spirit Pet at the Transformation Stage.
If he went against Ye Zhan today, he definitely wouldn’t be his opponent.
“The Lou Clan’s little girl saved my Clan’s Qing Le before, so you tell me whether I should make a move or not?” Ye Zhan wore a smile on his face and his voice was as clear as spring water, but it made people feel a chill for no reason.
“Little Paternal Uncle, why are you so slow!” Ye Qing Le was pleased to see Ye Zhan’s face and complained with a tone as if acting spoilt: “Elder Brother sent out a distress signal for ages already and you just arrived.”
Humph, otherwise Elder Sister Mu Yan wouldn’t be hurt by that old thing.
“You girl, I came as soon as I received the signal!”
There was a hint of helplessness in Ye Zhan’s eyes as he looked at the Ye Clan siblings softly and lovingly.
