The burqa woman acted like this not out of kindness, but because she didn't want to escalate the matter to a point where it would not affect the next step of the plan, which was inconsistent with her own purpose.
A cold sword energy pierced the old man's right shoulder joint. If the shoulder joint was pierced by the sword energy, the entire right hand would no longer be able to fight, and its strength would be greatly reduced.
The old man's eyes shrank, and a slight cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He did not expect that the other party would be so ruthless in his attack, so he hurriedly raised an oval-shaped defensive shield in front of him, with an earth-yellow aura on it.
As if he knew that the shield could not withstand the opponent's next attack, he turned sideways, quickly pressed his body down, and flipped backwards.
"Qiang!"
There was a harsh sound, and the shield was knocked away by the sword energy, leaving deep sword marks on it.
After knocking off the shield, the sword energy continued to fly forward at a high speed, but with this moment of delay, the old man successfully completed the dodge.
I saw the sword energy passing by three inches away from his upper right, and wisps of cold air emitted, freezing his hair and beard into frosty white, and causing his figure to be invisibly slowed down.
Although this woman named Yan'er intended to spare the other person's life, she would not let him go so easily. She urgently needs to force the Emperor to establish the Fourteenth Prince as Crown Prince, because her plan has been greatly delayed by the Emperor's delay.
The sword energy pierced the air one after another, emitting bursts of sonic booms, like terrifying roars, shocking everyone's hearts, including several people from the 'Taiyi Alliance'. They had never seen such a fierce attack from a woman.
After seeing this, they were secretly happy and filled with unprecedented confidence in future development.
On the other hand, on the royal side, everyone felt as if a stone was weighing on their hearts, and serious expressions hung on their faces. Except for the fourteenth prince,
At this moment, he was probably the happiest person in the room.
Although he is the youngest among the princes competing for the crown prince, he is not stupid. Compared with the cruel competition for royal power, he is more willing to rely on external forces because he has his own desires and his own little ninety-nine.
After the old man dodged several times in a row, he finally got a chance. A green long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he slashed at the sword energy coming from him.
In just a few moves, he felt as if he had experienced a near-death experience. Cold sweat like soybeans had covered his forehead. He knew that the sword just now could only delay the opponent's sword energy, and then he ducked and continued to dodge.
While the battle was going on in the palace, Yu Jian was sitting at the head of a secret room in Shangtian City. After hearing the news, he suddenly stood up and burst out with a fierce aura.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head to look in the direction of the palace, and said: "This 'Taiyi Alliance' has been planning for a long time, and now I can't sit still anymore. I just didn't expect that there are such masters behind them."
Yu Hu stood aside, clenched his hands, and said through gritted teeth: "They are so ambitious that they actually try to control the entire Wen Dynasty. Do they think that our Sanhuang Sect and Tianbao Pavilion do not exist?"
"The catastrophe is approaching, and all forces want to collect as many resources as possible. Now more and more forces have entered Shangtian City, and the situation we have to face is becoming more and more difficult."
"If the sect continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress all the forces. But if its strength is exposed, I'm afraid more forces will come to challenge us."
Although the Sanhuang Sect has developed rapidly in the past year or so, recruiting countless talented disciples and attracting the favor of many forces, its excessive reputation has also aroused jealousy and challenges from some forces.
Although they were not afraid of the challenges from these forces and did not accept their challenges, these forces who wanted to make them famous came again and again, and just dealing with these trivial matters was very cumbersome.
Especially in the past six months, rumors have begun to spread that Yan Liang has died in the Demon Sea. Many people's fear of him has begun to weaken, so some powerful forces have begun to test him.
Among them are the Beast Control Sect and the Mysterious Weapon Sect. Although they did not send out the strongest group of people, they also sent out several strong people at the Spirit King level, including those in the later stages of the Spirit King.
Naturally, no one in the Sanhuang Sect believed the rumors from the outside world, because Yu Jian and other servants who had made a pact with each other were all alive and well, which meant that nothing could happen to their master.
The disciples of Sanhuang Sect are full of inexplicable trust in their sect master. The morale of the sect has not been affected at all, just because the sect has not been born yet, so it has no intention of revealing its strength and accepting challenges from the outside world.
Especially when dealing with the big sects that are famous in Xilingzhou, how can a sect member who doesn't know the details take action easily? We can only wait for the sect leader to come back and decide this matter in person.
Facing the Sanhuang Sect that did not compete with them, and being unable to break through the opponent's sect formation, those forces could only leave in frustration.
They came here just for testing. If they could repay the resentment in their hearts, they would do it. If they couldn't retaliate, they could only think about it in the long run. After all, the reputation of Xilingzhou's evil genius still made them afraid.
If they can't kill Yan Liang, they really don't dare to fight with him to death, otherwise the latter's revenge will be unbearable for them. After all, the bigger the sect is, the more worries it will have when facing an unkillable enemy. .
The most serious situation is the sneak attack by a mysterious old man. Because he has the cultivation of the eighth level of the Spirit King and his identity is unknown, if he were not protected by the sect's formation, he would probably suffer heavy losses.
Even Young Master Ling, who had been in seclusion for a long time, was alarmed to come out of seclusion. Finally, after some weighing by the elders, he opened the sect's formation, trying to lure the enemy into the sect's strangulation formation. Even if part of the sect's strength was exposed, To kill this enemy.
The sixth-level sect compound formation is enough to deal with the average Lingzong peak master, but I don’t know if the opponent has weird detection methods or is too cautious and just blindly stands outside the formation, hoping to kill all the disciples who go out. disciple.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, Sanhuang Sect would not be able to engage in a hard fight, because even if the opponent loses, if they focus on escaping, they will not be able to stay, and there will definitely be casualties in a hard fight, which will also expose the strength of the sect.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Yun'er broke through to the fifth level of Lingzong and successfully escaped. When she heard about this, she was furious and immediately inspired Qing Yuyi to rush over.
Unexpectedly, the old man and Yun'er only fought for a dozen or so rounds. The more they fought, the more frightened they became. Then they left in a hurry and have never been seen again.
Seeing that the opponent was about to leave, Yun'er originally wanted to take advantage of Yuyi's speed to force him to stay, but after a fight, the old man suddenly activated his secret technique and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
