As a divine-tier martial artist who had gone through hundreds of battles, how sharp were Three Blades Lin's senses?
For a person like him, even if he was sleeping soundly, he would be alerted by a hostile gaze, let alone a spiritual force scan?
He instantly woke up and flipped to his feet, his combat blade in hand. His aura stirred and the house exploded with a rumble, and he was already dashing towards Jiang He's house … at the same time, his powerful spirit was spreading.
From Three Blades Lin's perspective, there was only one possibility that a divine-tier elite was scanning his surroundings in the middle of the night — an elite of the Sky Demon Cult had come to kill Jiang He!
That was why his first reaction was to rush towards Jiang He's house, hoping to save him!
And yet, that scene meant something else in Jiang He's eyes.
"This is intolerable!"
"This is intolerable!"
Jiang He's eyes went red.
What were the vermin of the Sky Demon Cult thinking?
Did they really take him for a pushover?
Were they sending assassins after him every other day?
The corpses of the Sentinel of the Right, the Senior Elder, the Flowing Cloud Holy Child, and the others were still warm, and now they were sending an even more powerful assassin?
"Die!"
Jiang He growled, and with a tap of his foot, he darted out of the yard.
Boom!
Nine Yang True Qi burst out, Dragon-Elephant Prajna and Indestructible Diamond charged. In that very moment, Jiang He's various martial arts were unleashed, and a great sun hung in the air behind him, the silhouette of a dragon and a divine elephant circling it, bellowing sonorously.
His Dark Golden Combat Armor materialized over his body, and when Indestructible Diamond was unleashed, his entire body was bathed in golden light.
There were even specks of starlight amidst the golden radiance, a sign that he had charged the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula.
After all …
The one who came to kill him was a divine-tier elite, and he could not afford to be careless. Without exposing his trump card of immortal arts, he could still use an immortal physique.
Moreover, in the split second he darted out, Jiang He had already grabbed a pepper and stuffed it into his mouth.
His aura …
It skyrocketed again.
Though he was only rank-eight pinnacle in martial arts, the aura he was bursting out now did not lose out to Three Blades Lin who was rushing toward him!
"Jiang He!"
Three Blades Lin barked.
He had also sensed this violent aura.
That's strange …
The realm of that aura didn't seem to be very strong, but why was the aura so powerful?
Even so, he did not have the time to think about it. From his perspective, the Sky Demon Cult's elites must have noticed him, which was why they were unleashing their full power to kill Jiang He.
"Sure enough, they're targeting me!"
Jiang He's rage burned even more when he heard that shout.
He flew out of the courtyard, and with a few steps, he arrived on the roof of a house 500 meters away from his house. In his field of vision, he saw a figure with a murderous aura flying over at an extremely fast speed.
The Third Fold of the Ninefold Thunderblade was unleashed. Bolstered by the will of thunder, Jiang He slashed out, and a thirty-meter thunder slash descended from above.
"Great saber technique!"
Three Blades Lin was known as the Blade King, so how sharp was his judgment?
Even if he knew that the person before him was an enemy, he could not help crying out.
His combat blade slashed out, bursting out with a slash that shattered the thunder slash, and he was already flying toward Jiang He, who was on the roof.
Jiang He did not stop after his slash, and continued swinging his blade, instantly unleashing nine more slashes.
？？？
Even so, Three Blades Lin's eyes widened as he flew toward him, and he could not help crying out, "What the hell!"
Right now, he was just twenty meters away from Jiang He, and naturally saw Jiang He's face clearly …
Jiang He?
Jiang He?
That person was actually Jiang He?
In that very instant, Three Blades Lin remembered what Wang Hou had told him when he came to Lingzhou City to protect Jiang He.
"The brat Jiang He is a monster. He is merely rank-eight pinnacle, but he has combat ability on the threshold of divine-tier. His future is limitless, and nothing must happen to him!"
Threshold, my foot!
Is your family's threshold that high?
That brat's slashes just now were equal to an average divine-intermediate pinnacle, weren't they?
Though it took a long time to describe, everything happened in an instant.
Three Blades Lin's blade aura changed from offense to defense, shielding his body with blade light as he took Jiang He's nine slashes head-on …
He was not adept at defense in the first place, and was directly sent flying backward by the nine slashes. The horrific shockwave of Blade Qi unfurled, and every house within several hundred meters crumbled with a resounding crash.
Even as he was sent flying backward, Three Blades Lin yelled, "Jiang He, stop! I'm …"
"Die!"
On the other side, Jiang He bellowed in rage and charged at him again, blade in hand.
His thunder slashes were bursting with ferocity, and yet there was a flash of helplessness in his heart …
Was he that weak without using his immortal arts cultivation?
An elite of the Sky Demon Cult had popped up out of nowhere, and yet he could not cut him down even after unleashing his martial arts cultivation?
"Still, he doesn't feel so powerful that I can't handle him. If I unleash my immortal arts cultivation and charge at him with White Foal Crosses the Rift, he would have a hard time stopping me …" Jiang He thought, feeling perplexed.
Was this person not here to kill him?
Why was he only defending and not attacking if he was so powerful?
Three Blades Lin continued to slash down, each of his thirty-meter thunder slashes. Right now …
He was about to cry.
What kind of freak was this?
It was already unbelievable that a rank-eight pinnacle could unleash the combat power of a mid-stage divine-tier, but the point was … every single slash was the same. Slash after slash, all he had to do was defend, and he was already pressured to the point where he could barely breathe.
He clenched his teeth.
Three Blades Lin's blade shifted and slashed out, shattering Jiang He's thunder slashes and sending him flying backward.
Kaboom!
Houses after houses crumbled from the impact.
Only then did Three Blades Lin have the chance to catch his breath. With a single leap, he took to the skies and shouted, "Stop, Jiang He! I mean no harm! I'm Three Blades Lin!"
Boom!
Jiang He's True Qi stirred amidst the rubble, knocking away all the bricks and tiles that were weighing down on him. Dragon-Slaying Saber in hand, he looked up at the skies and could not help frowning …
It was at least seventy meters tall.
His slashes could not reach it!
Jiang He sneered and said, "I don't care if you have three or five slashes … I could cut you down if you want to kill me."
"…"
Three Blades Lin was a little speechless.
Had the brat never heard of him?
Was his title as the Blade King that weak in the martial circles of the Hua Nation?
Chuckling bitterly, Three Blades Lin said, "It really was a misunderstanding, Jiang He. Minister Wang had learned that you had slain many Sky Demon Cult elites and was worried that they would send their divine-tier elites to retaliate against you, which is why he sent me here to protect you."
"Oh?"
Jiang He withdrew much of his killing intent then.
He was now seventy percent sure that …
Still, he could not relax since he was not a hundred percent sure, and so asked, "How could you prove that you are Minister Wang's man and not a Sky Demon Cult elite?"
"Just now …"
"You were shouting my name in rage and charging toward my house, seething with killing intent."
How is that not trying to kill me?
"I sensed a spirit scanning, and thought that a divine-tier elite was trying to kill you … eh?"
Three Blades Lin could not help doing a double take at those words, and gaped at Jiang He in surprise. "Your spirit has ascended?"
Still not completely relieved, Jiang He whipped out his phone and called Duan Tianhe right in front of Three Blades Lin.
However, Duan Tianhe answered the call almost immediately. Beside himself with anxiety, he exclaimed, "What actually happened, Jiang He? Did a divine-tier elite ambush you? "
"I sensed an explosive clash between divine-tier elites. Hide quickly, Minister Wang has arranged for someone to protect you in secret …"
Meanwhile, Duan Tianhe, Cheng Dongfeng, and Ji Dongxu were huddled together again.
There was no helping it.
They had just slept for a while when they were startled by the frightening aura.
They could sense it clearly even from a dozen kilometers away …
Their first thought was that divine-tier elites were fighting, and with that thought, it was not hard to guess that the Sky Demon Cult had sent a divine-tier elite to kill Jiang He, only to be stopped by an elite sent by Minister Wang.
"Eh?"
Jiang He laughed awkwardly over the other end of the call, saying, "I understand, Chief Duan … don't worry too much, the elite Minister Wang sent is very powerful, and he's not hurt."
Hanging up and putting away his Dragon-Slaying Saber, Jiang He chuckled. "Three Blades Lin, was it? Haha … Old Brother Lin, why didn't you let us know you were coming? It's fortunate that I held back, or wouldn't it be a great loss if I really hurt you? "
"…"
Hehe.
Holding back?
Hurt me?
You must be dreaming, kid … I'm a divine-tier pinnacle elite. How could I be hurt by you?
Was the title of Blade King just for show?
That was earned through real killing, and he simply did not use his killing move just now because he recognized you.
Up in the skies.
Three Blades Lin had landed.
He was complaining incessantly inwardly, but he could hardly hide the surprise on his face. Studying Jiang He from head to toe, he exclaimed in shock, "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. You're not even rank-nine, but you could actually burst out with such frightening combat ability. How did you actually cultivate?"
"Most frighteningly …"
"Rank-eight pinnacle, and your spirit has actually broken through the limit to reach divine-tier … could this be the legendary innate talent?"
"No!"
Jiang He exclaimed seriously. "What does this have to do with innate talent?"
Jiang He knew very well what his innate talent was.
He had cultivated a few times, but to no avail. He believed that the reason he could become stronger so quickly was because of his hard work … farming. For the past month or so, he had worked hard in farming and had shed a lot of sweat. He immediately said, "The reason why I have this little bit of success is because I sweat a little more than others."
Three Blades Lin nodded.
To possess such strength at such a young age, no matter how monstrous one's talent and fortuitous encounters were, if one didn't put in several times more effort than an ordinary person, it would be impossible for one to achieve what he had today.
At that thought, Three Blades Lin could not help sighing. "The younger generation will surpass the older!"
And yet, he suddenly realized that …
Jiang He's condition was a little off, and he could not help frowning. "What's wrong, Jiang He?"
"I'm fine."
Right now, Jiang He was …
Very uncomfortable.
He had eaten a pepper before, believing that the Sky Demon Cult's elites had come to kill him again.
And now …
The side effect of the pepper had arrived.
Three Blades Lin, whose eyes had been rough and unruly, was now handsome and elegant, and Jiang He quickly said, "Elder Lin, I actually think that I'm quite safe living here alone and don't need protection … anyway, I still have something to do, so I'll be heading back!"
Whoosh!
Jiang He turned and promptly darted away, even casting Blind Princess's Eight Practices to turn his entire being into a phantom.
"What an elegant form!"
Three Blades Lin could not help gasping in surprise. "It seems that Jiang He's burst just now was not without a price … his condition just now must be the repercussions of using some secret technique … but he's right. With his ability, who could kill him unless the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult personally came?"
Taking to the skies, Three Blades Lin glanced toward Lingzhou City before disappearing into the night in a flash.
Meanwhile, Jiang He had already returned home.
He went to the third-floor bathing pool in one go, ready to take a bath to cool himself down. But just as he jumped in, footsteps could be heard outside …
Sora had arrived.
She had been jolted awake by the battle just now, and found Jiang He coming to take a bath, which was why she quickly came to give him a back rub.
Her soft little hands were massaging Jiang He's shoulders, intensifying the pepper's side effects.
Plop.
Sora cried out in surprise as she fell into the bathing pool … but Jiang He had pulled her in.
Seconds later, however, she mumbled coyly, "Gluttonous Master … hmmm …"
…
After a long time.
The camera was then switched to Jiang He's bedroom.
Jiang He breathed a long sigh as he lay on the comfortable bed, and glanced at the remote control that could control the bed's vibration …
He finally understood why the bed moved.
Thud!
Jiang He threw the remote control on the bedside table. Jiang He was a little speechless.
Did the mansion he planted look down on him that much?
It's not like I have a bad back … why did I have to do this?
