Upon hearing this, Jackal immediately realized that this was Yu Shixiong and Peng Yue telling him that Yun Yan was at the end of his fight.
But this is indeed the case. In desperation, Yun Yan chose the most risky approach, that is, he had to kill the Jackal.
This is not only related to Zhou Ying's safety, but it is also his only way to escape.
However, the most critical question now is how Yun Yan can kill Jackal in front of Yu Shixiong and Peng Yue.
Although Peng Yue and Yu Shixiong promised to give them a fair fight, they were doing things for money after all, not to mention that Zhou Cang's request to them was to protect Jackal's life first.
Therefore, Yun Yan simply did not believe that they would keep their promise and not interfere in the life-and-death battle between themselves and Jackal.
After being reminded by Yu Shixiong and Peng Yue, Jackal had changed his previous mind. At the same time, he also discovered that he could not defeat Yun Yan in a short time.
Therefore, he followed the instructions of Yu Shixiong and Peng Yue to hold Yun Yan and consume his soul power as much as possible. In this way, Yu Shixiong was more confident that he could keep both Yun Yan and Hu Ying.
All this was seen by Hu Ying, who knew very well that the current relationship between him and Yun Yan was very delicate.
If he chooses to escape at this time, Yu Shixiong will definitely attack him without hesitation. Hu Ying is confident that he can avoid Yu Shixiong's first sword, but it will be difficult to say after that.
But if he kept waiting like this, it would be tantamount to putting his life in Yun Yan's hands.
At the same time, Yun Yan must win, otherwise after Jackal kills Yun Yan, Yu Shixiong's target will still be himself, and he will still be unable to escape death.
There was only half a chance of survival, but now only half of it was left, and this possibility was still in Yun Yan's hands.
Therefore, Hu Ying's heart began to waver.
However, when Hu Ying was hesitant, what he never expected was that Yu Shixiong suddenly drew his sword, and his target was Hu Ying.
At this critical moment, Hu Ying tried his best to push his retreat speed to the limit. He saw Yu Shixiong's sword light following him like a shadow. He was about to cut off Hu Ying's head when he suddenly appeared in front of him. Got a shield.
This is a stainless steel shield that is more than a foot thick, and judging from the quality of the shield, this should be an intermediate treasure.
It seemed that Hu Ying had many hidden methods, but when Yu Shixiong's sword energy came into contact with the fine steel shield, there was only a "bang" sound, and the shield was instantly broken by the sword energy.
Hu Ying's body was also seriously injured by the sword energy. A bright red gap suddenly appeared on his chest, and blood was flowing out from the wound.
After Hu Ying barely blocked Yu Shixiong's sword, he did not stay for a moment, but immediately turned around and fled into the distance.
At the same time, Yun Yan also escaped from the Jackal's attack range and retreated quickly because this was his only chance to escape.
Yun Yan didn't understand why Yu Shixiong suddenly took action against Hu Ying. Did he believe that Jackal would be able to keep him, so he chose to kill Hu Ying first?
But when Yun Yan and Jackal opened a distance of ten feet, he suddenly realized that not far to the west of them, there was a very powerful soul power aura that was rapidly approaching.
Obviously, Yu Shixiong didn't want any accidents to happen in this mission, so when he first sensed someone approaching, he made the right choice in an instant.
Only then did Yun Yan realize how terrifying Yu Shixiong was. It turned out that he had decided from the beginning to kill Hu Ying first and then deal with himself.
Jackal had actually known Yu Shixiong's thoughts for a long time. They had colluded to deceive Yun Yan, and they also deliberately restricted Yun Yan's position.
At the same time, Jackal and Yu Shixiong have blocked other directions. Yunyan can only retreat eastward, but behind him is the bottomless eastern chasm a hundred feet away. This is a dead end.
It was difficult for Yun Yan to make the most favorable judgment for him in just this moment. The only thing he could be sure of was that Hu Ying had tried his best. Moreover, at the same time as Yu Shixiong took action, Peng Yue followed closely behind and attacked him.
He chased after Hu Ying.
Yun Yan relied on the moment Hu Ying bought for him to retreat beyond the killing range of Yu Shixiong's sword energy. At this time, Jackal also realized that something was wrong. He shouted to Yu Shixiong while flying towards Yun Yan.
"Do it!"
However, with Yu Shixiong's cultivation, he had already taken action before Jackal opened his mouth.
Facing the joint attacks of Jackal and Yu Shixiong, Yun Yan had no power to fight back. His figure flashed continuously and he was instantly forced back dozens of feet.
When Yu Shixiong saw this, he wanted to fight quickly because they had no time.
I saw Yu Shixiong's long sword unsheathed, and several rays of cold light suddenly fell from the sky, completely blocking Yun Yan's retreat. This is the strength of the powerful Sword King. He can use the sword energy to activate everything in the world.
Jackal took the opportunity to take advantage of Yun Yan's life gate, and he couldn't give Yun Yan any chance to breathe.
Fortunately, Yun Yan had kept a long enough distance from them before, so he could complete all preparations before the sword curtain fell in the sky.
Jackal never expected that just when Yun Yan had no way to retreat, he would suddenly turn around and attack him head-on.
"careful!"
When Jackal heard Yu Shixiong's reminder, Yunyan had already arrived less than a foot away in front of Jackal. Before he could react, Jackal felt that his right arm had been firmly grasped by Yunyan, and he was suddenly His whole body was involuntarily dragged by Yun Yan, and immediately after, Jackal felt his chest being punched heavily by Yun Yan.
The Jackal's body was like a kite with its string broken, floating into the sky dozens of feet away behind Yun Yan.
At the same time, Yun Yan waved a palm towards the top of her head, forcibly scattering those fierce cold rays. literature
Yu Shixiong was shocked when he saw this scene, because he was surprised to find that Yun Yan's cultivation level suddenly surged to the peak of the fourth level of martial arts, which was completely beyond his expectation.
However, with Yun Yan's current cultivation level, it is still difficult for him to resist Yu Shixiong's fatal blow. After all, Yu Shixiong is a sword king, and he also has the blessing of martial arts heart, so it is impossible for Yun Yan to confront him head-on.
However, Yu Shixiong also knew this, so after Jackal was seriously injured by Yun Yan's unexpected method, his bloodthirsty sword had already approached a foot in front of Yun Yan.
Within such a short distance, Yun Yan had nowhere to hide. Although he forcibly improved his level by taking soul refining pills, such cultivation was still unable to fight against Yu Shixiong.
Yun Yan's body was pierced by Yu Shixiong's bloodthirsty sword. His whole body was shaken dozens of feet by this powerful sword energy, and he fell right on the edge of the bottomless chasm.
At this time, Jackal was seriously injured and his body was falling into the chasm.
Upon seeing this, Yun Yan immediately took out the animal tendon rope and swung it hard. The metal cone at one end of the rope was like a rapidly shooting arrow, instantly piercing the jackal's heel.
Yun Yan then pulled back, slamming the falling Jackal against the rock wall of the abyss, but he himself did not let go. At this moment, he shouted to Yu Shixiong in the distance.
"If you dare to take another step forward, I will let go and let this bastard die first."
When Yu Shixiong heard this, he stopped moving forward.
"You are really beyond my expectation. At such a young age, you actually have such courage and strategy. At the same time, you practice both weapon refining and medicine making. You even have a good talent for swordsmanship. Such Geniuses are indeed rare, no wonder you can touch that person's heart."
Yun Yan didn't know whether he was sarcastic or sarcastic about himself, but he was sure that as long as he still controlled the life and death of Jackal, Yu Shixiong would take advantage of him. As long as he could hold on for a while, maybe things would turn around.
However, how could Yu Shixiong not understand Yun Yan's intention? He smiled calmly.
"Since I can't be perfect, I can only settle for the next best thing. As a killer, I naturally don't allow my killer career to be stained in any way, so you can't wait for him."
Yu Shixiong’s words
Just as the sound fell, he saw a sword light passing by, and Yun Yan felt that the entire rock wall he was on began to slowly descend. Just as he was about to get up, the animal tendon rope in his hand suddenly flew up and was restrained in an instant. his neck.
"This rope you picked is so perfect. Now you can die with me, haha..."
With the complete collapse of the rock wall, Yun Yan was dragged tightly by the jackal and fell into the bottomless chasm.
"Do you know what you did?"
At this time, a cold voice came from behind Yu Shixiong.
When Yu Shixiong heard the words, he turned around slowly and saw that the person was wearing a black robe and his face was wrapped in black cloth. Apart from his sharp eyes, there was nothing anywhere else that could identify him.
"You are at the peak of the sixth level of martial arts. You are not weak. The person who can make you so nervous is probably not Jackal. So you should have come to save that boy. Unfortunately, you came a step too late. He has already died together with Jackal. Already."
The man in black looked sideways at the neatly cut rock wall and said.
"I'm afraid neither of them has such a level of swordsmanship."
Yu Shixiong immediately laughed and said.
"If you haven't seen it with your own eyes and are just relying on speculation, I won't admit it. Even if she comes to question me in person, I won't admit it."
"This time it's different."
"What's the difference?"
Yu Shixiong still maintained a calm and elegant demeanor. This was his usual style. No one could make him panic.
However, the man in black sighed and replied.
"She said that this young man is different from us. You should know very well that she would never belittle people like us, so she asked me to come with her to have a look."
There was a solemn expression on Yu Shixiong's face, but such a subtle expression would not be noticed by anyone.
"Then why did you come a step late?!"
The man in black was silent, because with his cultivation level he shouldn't be late, but he was late. Yu Shixiong did not expose his lie, because he would not admit it either.
"Maybe we really are the same kind of person!"
At this time, Peng Yue came quickly from a distance, and he seemed to be carrying something in his hand...
