Immortal Lord Luo Fan was displeased, "Others can leave with you, but Immortal Lady Xiaoling, you cannot be taken."
Xing Jie stood tall and proud, "Oh? And who might this be..."
Immortal Lord Luo Fan summoned his sword, Shang Bai, to shield Immortal Lady Xiaoling, "I am Luo Fan. What business do you have with this envoy?"
Xing Jie instantly caught Shang Bai between his fingers. His movements were as swift as lightning and as powerful as thunder. In a flash, with a mere flick of his finger, the sword tip vibrated. Immortal Lord Luo Fan's arm went numb, and he almost lost his grip on the hilt.
Immortal Lord Luo Fan inwardly grumbled, "Such overbearing spiritual energy."
Combat was imminent!
"Summon Lightning!"
Immortal Lord Luo Fan channeled the lightning through his sword, igniting a thunderous roar! Empowered Shang Bai surged with his sword intent!
Xing Jie, unhurried, met the sword's edge with his five-clawed hand. Immediately, an invisible handprint pierced through Shang Bai and Immortal Lord Luo Fan's arm, striking his chest!
"Pfft!..."
Immortal Lord Luo Fan rose, still standing before Immortal Lady Xiaoling, and furiously slashed his sword, "Heaven's Wrath Slash!"
A tempestuous sword wind erupted from his intent! Xing Jie once again unleashed an invisible hand, shattering Tian Nu Zhan and dissipating it into nothingness!
Dong Cheng and Xi Jiu, seeing their master defeated, quickly moved forward, raising their swords and channeling energy for a explosive thrust towards Xing Jie!
Xing Jie delivered two resounding slaps, one to the left and one to the right, sending them both flying.
Immortal Lord Luo Fan had already condensed his technique. He focused all his sword intent to a single point, holding Shang Bai vertically before him, "Mind Intent Art!"
All sword intent transformed into a powerful technique, which he unleashed with a sudden sword swing! It swept towards Xing Jie!
Xing Jie dodged. An invisible hand rose from behind him, then descended from above with the might of crushing all things, striking down upon Immortal Lord Luo Fan!
"Bang!..."
As the dust settled, Immortal Lord Luo Fan, along with his sword, was sent flying and crashed to the ground.
"Ugh, cough!..."
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Immortal Lady Xiaoling quickly flew to his side, supporting him. Seeing his battered body, she could not bear it, "Luo Fan, you are so foolish. I am not worth this."
"Drip... drip..."
Immortal Lord Luo Fan slowly opened his eyes. He felt a warm droplet on his face and was overjoyed, "Xiaoling... you actually... shed tears for me?"
Seeing that he was awake, Immortal Lady Xiaoling declared him fine and playfully punched him, "Are you dead or not? If not, get up. This Immortal Lady will fight alongside you."
Supported by her, Immortal Lord Luo Fan steadied himself with Shang Bai and rose to his feet. They stood back-to-back. Immortal Lady Xiaoling also summoned her Heavenly Tribulation-grade magic sword, Jade Lotus Sword, ready to fight.
Xing Jie shook his head slightly, finding their efforts futile, "Immortal Lady Xiaoling, you wish to fight as well?"
Immortal Lady Xiaoling's chin tilted proudly, "Why not?"
Xing Jie shrugged, "Then come at me together. However, I will show no mercy."
Immortal Lady Xiaoling and Immortal Lord Luo Fan simultaneously attacked! Their swords sliced through the air, piercing towards Xing Jie!
"Summon Lightning! Heaven's Wrath Slash!"
"Pear Blossom Rain! Snow Sky Slash!"
Xing Jie waved his hand, unleashing an invisible palm that shattered the four combined techniques!
Just as Immortal Lady Xiaoling thought they had won, Xing Jie gestured again. Another invisible hand appeared above them, pressing them down!
"Bang!"
"Pfft!... Pfft!..."
Xing Jie looked with amusement at the downed pair, shaking his head, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. A mere first-level Great Accomplishment Great Wheel King realm dares to assist? Quite the opposite, this has made that lesser accomplishment Great Wheel King realm second-level youngster hesitant. He could have taken three of my moves, but now he can't even take one. How laughable, truly laughable."
