Boom! The white-robed Yan Jin wielded a sword in each hand. He stood in front as his two swords transformed into the symbol for Yin and Yang—forming a vortex to block the stones.

Yan Jin blocked almost half of the stones covered in the green aura.

Flanking Yan Jin, the old servant—who was at the Seamless realm—and Meng Chuan blocked the remaining stones.

We blocked them! Meng Chuan cultivated a Lightning Divine Body, and his speed was extraordinarily fast. His saber instantly transformed into a blur as he blocked multiple rocks, but he still found it extremely demanding on his body. The old servant who used a soft sword had power at the Seamless realm, but even he was struggling as well. In contrast, Yan Jin’s every single strike was incomparably powerful, and he hadn’t seemed to use any effort to block half the stones alone.

Liu Qiyue—who was protected in the rear—did not hesitate to take out a distress flare and quickly activated it.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the flare flew into the sky with great speed.

“Quick, retreat!” Meng Chuan hurriedly roared because the hunchbacked man—who had casually tossed the stones—had already charged over.

Liu Qiyue held Ironborn with one hand and carried the other girl with the other as she charged out.

“Hahaha, to have such strength at the Mortal Shedding realm? It looks like I’ve caught a big one!” The hunchbacked man’s laughter echoed in Idle Stone Garden. He had already charged straight for Yan Jin! He was clearly the strongest, considering how he had blocked dozens of stones.

“Young Master!” The old servant slashed his sword forward, the soft sword curved and stabbed at the hunched man’s eyes.

The hunched man’s body blurred slightly. The strike only hit the hunchbacked man’s back. It barely pierced his skin before his muscles blocked it.

Whoosh. The hunchbacked man struck out with his claw that was covered with a thick green demonic aura. Unable to dodge in time, Yan Jin had no choice but to hold up both swords to block.

The claw struck the two swords.

Boom!

A terrifying power Yan Jin had no way of withstanding, surged into him from his swords.

Even though he was good at redirecting power and had the Icefire Divine Body—which was good at using the Yin-Yang Deflection—the strength difference was too great! He was sent flying backward by the strike, slamming into the wall behind him. The Idle Stone Garden walls were instantly smashed apart, causing Yan Jin to fall onto the streets. He was covered in rubble. One of his swords was flung into the air.

The hunchbacked man didn’t care about the others as he only stared at Yan Jin in a bid to kill him.

Yan Jin felt pain all over his body. His bones were fractured in several areas, and he had lost feeling in his arms. He wanted to get up, but he couldn’t control his body.

Too powerful! The difference was too great!

“Hahaha…” The hunchbacked man gave an ear-piercing laugh and charged over.

“Young Master.” The old servant wanted to catch up, but his speed was ultimately slower. His eyes couldn’t help but show anger.

“Cough, cough.” Yan Jin coughed out blood.

Am I going to die here? I really can’t accept this. Yan Jin’s vision was a little blurry. As he watched the hunchbacked man charge over, an even faster blur shot out from the side. A saber formed a beautiful arc, and the hunchbacked man was unable to dodge.

Saber technique—Swaying Moonfall!

In terms of G.o.dfiend foundations, Yan Jin’s foundation was just on par with Meng Chuan’s even though he was born with tremendous strength, and had consumed rare, treasured herbs while cultivating his G.o.dfiend body. They were simply skilled in different aspects.

Meng Chuan, who cultivated a Lightning Divine Body, focused on his movement techniques and swift saber. His advantage was in speed! He was faster than most Seamless realm experts, and he was even faster than the hunchbacked man.

Human traitor from the Skydemon Sect! A murderous look flashed in Meng Chuan’s eyes. His blood boiled as lightning flowed through his body, increasing his astonis.h.i.+ng speed even further. Meng Chuan knew very well that he was unable to deal with this terrifying Skydemon Sect expert! Therefore, he had slashed at his opponent’s leg. He wanted to injure his opponent’s leg to slow him down. Only then would they have a chance of escaping.

“Swift saber arts and ingenious moves. As expected of a genius from the Meng family.” The hunchbacked man finally slowed down as his left hand swiped out.

Clang!

His strike was bizarre and fast, easily blocking the saber beam.

Seeing the situation turning south, Meng Chuan immediately retreated—an arc beam streaking out from his saber as he did so. There was a cold look in the hunchbacked man’s eyes. “You are even more dangerous than that white-robed youth. Have a taste of my Finger of Extermination.” He suddenly flicked his right hand. One of his fingernails blasted out and shot towards the fleeing Meng Chuan.

“Commendable movement techniques, but you will still die.” The hunchbacked man was very confident. His fingernails were his most powerful weapon. It would take a month for him to regenerate one of them. However, once he unleashed his full power, it would be extremely terrifying. This move was enough to kill ordinary Seamless realm experts.

No good.

The black fingernail—covered with green mist—was simply too fast.

Meng Chuan could only use his sword to block it by instinct—honed from blocking arrows every day. When facing death, the unity of his body, mind, and technique allowed him to use more of his potential.

His saber blocked the black fingernail. The moment they collided, a terrifying demonic aura contained within the black fingernail exploded out! This exquisite saber move had s.h.i.+fted the black fingernail’s trajectory, diverting most of the demonic aura away.

However, some of the demonic aura traveled down the saber and into Meng Chuan’s body.
