Without much thought, Jingwei channeled his inner energy and prepared to lead Dao San away from the battle and back to the top of the city wall.
But sometimes, things don't go as planned.
At the last moment, the Huang clan members resolutely caught up with Jing Wei and launched a fierce attack on Jing Wei and Dao San.
It was a sword, a very thin sword.
On the surface, it showed no signs of power fluctuations, but Jingwei could sense that it was a killing sword.
The killing sword pierced the air, madness approached, Jing Wei's thoughts raced, and then in an instant, he circulated his true energy.
But this true power wasn't entirely for resisting that killing sword; it was for sending Dao San to the city wall.
Jingwei lived up to his reputation; he did it. Not only that, he also dodged the attack of that killing sword. However, the price he paid was that he lost the best opportunity to return to the city wall.
"Hmph! Since one escaped, I'll make you the one to make up for it! Heavenly Extinction Space, open!"
At a single command, Jingwei and the Huang clan member vanished from everyone's sight.
Like Dao San and Yan Tian before them, they went to their battleground.
On the city wall, upon seeing Dao San return, Jue Yi quickly arranged for some cultivators skilled in medicine to provide her with emergency care, among whom was Yong Ling from the Yongling Heavenly Medicine Pavilion.
But the next moment, as he looked back at the place where Jingwei had disappeared, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes again.
"It's alright, Jingwei... is very strong." At this moment, as if she could see through Jueyi's thoughts, Zhu Xinlan patted his shoulder and said.
Jue Yi was taken aback for a moment, but gradually relaxed.
……
Inside the second Heavenly Extinction Space.
The Huang clan sent Huang Jian, the captain of the fifth vanguard team, this time.
This person didn't waste any words. As soon as Jingwei entered the space, his killing intent filled the air, aimed directly at Jingwei.
Using his powerful sword energy as a guide, the moment the previous slender sword appeared in the air, it split into two, then three, and finally ten identical slender swords, which rushed towards Jing Wei with the force to pierce the sky.
This is his killing move: sword strike.
Jing Wei's eyes narrowed, and a sense of crisis slowly rose in his heart, making him realize that this person was definitely not simple.
Although his opponent was strong, he was not weak either. He didn't want to say much to this enemy. In a flash, he waved his left hand, and a large purple sword suddenly appeared. Without thinking, he swung it fiercely, and a cold purple sword light, like lightning, struck straight at Huang Jian's invisible thin sword.
Bang!
A furious roar echoed throughout the space!
But at that moment, a strange power suddenly flowed from the broadsword into Jingwei's hand, causing Jingwei to immediately feel his blood surging in his chest and his feet involuntarily taking a few steps back in the void.
"What powerful sword intent!" Jing Wei was astonished.
"It seems his understanding of swordsmanship is about the same as Jueyi's!" At this moment, Jingwei became more vigilant once again.
However, Jing Wei quickly calmed down, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He had already made up his mind. Since this guy had chosen him as an enemy, he would give him a good welcome!
In fact, although Huang Jian hadn't used his full strength in that sword strike, he hadn't used much power either. Moreover, Huang Jian's cultivation was only at the early stage of Heavenly Monarch, while he was at the middle stage of Heavenly Monarch. Therefore, he felt that the difference in cultivation level would become Huang Jian's fatal weakness.
However, Jingwei did not have a complete advantage, because he had been slightly injured by the initial sword strike while protecting Dao San, which left some potential health problems for him.
At this very moment, just as he was about to mobilize his true energy, his aura suddenly became somewhat disordered. This surprised him and forced him to make some adjustments. However, he also released his profound intent as a precaution.
He knew that, especially at times like these, even the slightest weakness could be the key to ultimate victory.
In their first duel, Huang Jian was sent flying high into the sky. When he regained his footing, he felt a tightness in his chest and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
After his first move was broken, he didn't pause for a moment and began to prepare his next move. He knew his weakness and knew that he couldn't afford to stall for time. He had to decide the outcome as soon as possible before the opponent could fully react, otherwise it would be too late once he was exhausted.
At this moment, Huang Jian's trench coat fluttered in the wind, making soft rustling sounds as it billowed.
He raised the rapier above his head, its tip pointing to the sky. As he circulated his inner energy, countless black specks of light appeared around him, and soon these black specks of light rapidly gathered towards the tip of the rapier.
The rapier's most powerful killing move is slowly taking shape!
Meanwhile, Jing Wei below was trying his best to recover his strength while keeping a close eye on Huang Jian.
He knew what the other party wanted to do, but he also knew that this battle... had only just begun.
……
The land within the city walls.
While Jingwei's battle was raging fiercely, things weren't idle here either.
The battle in Zhouyoujing is nearing its end, with about fifty people remaining on both sides.
On the True Profound Alliance side, apart from Xiao Wuqi, Li Ying, and some other important but unnamed figures who were still struggling to hold on, almost all of them were dead, leaving only twenty-two people.
The Huang clan suffered relatively heavy casualties, with only twenty-eight elites remaining.
But the fighting continued, and the casualties continued to rise.
The battle at the Transcendent Realm in the sky was incredibly fierce. Perhaps due to the fact that they were fighting on home ground, the Huang Clan was the first to lose a member.
This gave the True Mystery Alliance a great opportunity to fight two against one, and in fact, that was the case. However, this opportunity seemed a bit difficult to grasp, because the Huang Clan member that the two were facing was really strong, and it seemed that it would be difficult to determine a winner for a while.
This person from the Huang clan is named Huang Li. His cultivation level is at the Perfect Transformation Realm, approaching the level of a half-step Heavenly Monarch.
His opponent was an unnamed powerhouse and Mei Zhong, the sect leader of the Demon Realm's Enchanting Land Sect.
The nameless expert's cultivation level was also at the peak of the Transformation Realm, but he had just been promoted to the peak of the Transformation Realm, while Mei Zhong's cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Spirit Realm. Therefore, the inequality in their strength naturally led to a tough battle for them.
Look at the sky above, where the auras of the three people flow and collide continuously.
Huang Li did not underestimate his opponent, after all, the two of them were still a threat to him. So at this moment, he decisively took out a real weapon that looked like an axe from his spatial bottle to increase his chances of victory.
But at that very moment, the nameless expert also launched an attack. Holding a broken sword, he appeared directly behind Huang Li like a ghost.
In an instant, countless sword beams intersected, and the sword intent within them seemed to want to pulverize anything they touched.
Chapter 254 Return
Inside the second Heavenly Extinction Space.
Without any hesitation, Huang Jian slashed down with his sword. Countless black light spots quickly gathered around him, and a huge colorless sword, as if it were about to split the heavens and the earth, slashed at Jing Wei again.
Jing Wei's expression changed drastically in an instant. Sensing the immense power of the sword strike, he immediately responded.
Huang Jian's attack is imminent!
Without hesitation, Jingwei's eyes blazed and his face tense!
The greatsword in his hand shimmered with waves of energy. If one paid close attention, one could sense that these waves unconsciously gave off a heavy feeling. He raised the Purple Inscription, and his attack target instantly locked onto the colorless giant sword in the sky!
In an instant, a purple blade of light, imbued with profound insights, took shape. Then, this blade of light rapidly grew larger, seemingly trying to become the same size as the colorless giant sword.
In the blink of an eye, before the blade's edge was even smaller than the colorless giant sword, the colorless giant sword was already imprinted in Jing Wei's eyes.
All of this seems like a long story, but it actually only took a breath.
Therefore, Jingwei's blade light didn't have enough time to take shape, but the colorless giant sword was already imminent.
"Ah!" Jing Wei roared. In the end, he had no choice but to control the still-uncompletely formed purple blade light and slash it down.
boom!
The two forces collided at this moment, and the Heavenly Extinction Space seemed unable to withstand such a powerful impact. The sky changed drastically, trembled, and seemed about to collapse.
Although Huang Jian's strength was not weak, there was a clear gap between him and Jing Wei in terms of cultivation. Therefore, Jing Wei was very clear that as long as he fought a protracted battle with him, he would definitely win.
However, it seems that Huang Jian has no intention of granting his wish.
Huang Jian's sword strike was more powerful than his first attack.
The purple blade light was an incomplete attack that Jing Wei had hastily created, and the two were not comparable at all. The moment they made contact, the colorless greatsword directly cleaved the purple blade light in two, and with its remaining momentum, it continued to strike Jing Wei again.
"Damn it!" Seeing the purple blade light, broken in two, gradually dissipate in the sky, Jing Wei cursed angrily. His strength was not weak to begin with, and if he had a little more time, he might have been able to build up enough power to stop this attack.
But the truth is, he doesn't have the time!
Faced with such a powerful offensive and pressure, he didn't have time to think much. In the end, he made up his mind and raised the purple broadsword above his head!
He actually wanted to take the attack head-on!
Huang Jian, who was not far away, turned his gaze to Jing Wei and instantly knew what the other party wanted to do.
"Take it head-on? Hmph!" A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that even if Jing Wei blocked this attack, he would probably be seriously injured and unable to fight again, even if he didn't die.
However, a sense of unease arose in his heart.
With a thunderous roar, the colorless greatsword undoubtedly made intimate contact with Jingwei's purple broadsword!
At this moment, a destructive aura rapidly spread outwards from Jing Wei, and deafening sounds continuously emanated from an area with a diameter of about 100 meters. Some spaces even showed signs of cracking, as if they were about to collapse. The aftershocks of the colorless giant sword completely enveloped this area... The aura was so strong that it was impossible to look directly at it.
A powerful force surged from the purple blade, through Jing Wei's arm, and then through his entire body. He was so shaken from head to toe that he lost all feeling. He didn't even notice the trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. If he hadn't still retained some consciousness and was gripping the purple blade tightly, he might have truly died in this colorless sky.
Pain spread throughout his body, his expression twisted in agony, and he seemed on the verge of a mental breakdown...
He never realized how close he was to death, or how afraid he was of death...
"Ha! Maybe I was just meant to die?" Jingwei thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.
Suddenly, the image of his family, which he had protected for decades, appeared in his eyes; in his heart, it was a happy and harmonious place.
He saw his younger self, striving desperately to stand out in the family and become number one...
As time went on, he saw himself using countless bloody methods to mercilessly eliminate all his rivals for the position of clan leader...
Finally, the scene shifts, and a little girl appears in front of him...
She was quite young, about six or seven years old, and was playing with a small wooden sword in her hands. She was having a lot of fun, and when she smiled, she revealed a pair of adorable dimples, making her very endearing.
He himself was standing next to the little girl, looking at her with kind eyes.
"Father, Father..." The little girl's innocent voice reached his ears.
"Hehe! What's up, little Ziming!" Amidst laughter, Jingwei scooped Ziming up in his arms. If there were any outsiders present at this moment, they would probably stare wide-eyed, as the usually aloof Jing family patriarch could actually show such a gentle side.
"Is Father going out again?" Zi Ming asked.
"Yes! What's wrong?" A hint of doubt flashed in Jingwei's eyes.
Ziming looked disappointed: "Father is always so busy, he never spends time playing with Ziming properly."
"Uh!" Jing Wei was taken aback, then pondered for a moment.
