As expected, as the Celestial Demon Flurry ended, Ling Jin's body involuntarily swayed in the air. Then, like a kite with a broken string, she fell straight down. She had lost all her strength.
Lu Xuan was quick to react. He swooped down, picked up Ling Jin from the air, and held her in his arms. Ling Jin instinctively put her arms around Lu Xuan's neck, like a drowning person clutching at a life-saving straw.
At this moment, her face was pale, and her body was limp. She couldn't exert any strength, and her strength was almost exhausted.
Lu Xuan was silent. He carried Ling Jin back to the battle formation formed by Ye Wuhen and the others. Ling Jin had done her best, and she almost lost her life.
However, the results were also remarkable. He had successfully broken through Saul's Soul Refinement World, and had even exhausted a great deal of Saul's soul power. Even though this area was filled with soul power, it was still unable to withstand Saul's great efforts.
But Saul's Soul Refinement Universe wasn't in vain. Although he couldn't kill Ling Jin, he succeeded in breaking the Seven Saints Immortal-slaying Sword Formation of the Alliance of Jiuhua. In her current state, Ling Jin couldn't form another formation.
Saul, who had been forced back by Ling Jin's Celestial Demon Flurry, turned back and laughed wildly, "Little demon girl, what can you do to me? How can you resist the power of a Soul Elder? Without that damned formation, what else can you use to fight me? "
"I'll do it!" Ye Wenjun raised his sword again. Someone had to stand up.
"Granduncle, you've consumed too much energy. Let us do it. Haoran, Xuan 'er, let's do it." Ye Wuhen stopped Ye Wenjun.
"We're not dead yet. It's not your turn. Ruida, you haven't lost your spirit all these years, have you?" Ye Guangjian patted Ye Ruida on the shoulder.
Ye Ruida's hair had turned white in an instant to save Lu Xuan. Although he and Ye Guangjian were father and son, the two of them looked like brothers when they stood together. Ye Ruida smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Father? It's true that the younger generation of the Ye family is stronger than the previous one, but as elders, we can't be looked down upon."
"Father and son are of one mind."
"Sharp enough to cut through metal!"
"Haha, well said!"
Saul, on the other hand, couldn't bear to see the Jiuehua members fighting over who'd be first. He snorted. "What's there to push, Ran Ran? We're going to die either way. It's just a matter of time. I'll let you all die together!"
As he finished speaking, Saul waved his long sleeves, and an ink-like soul power enveloped everyone. It was as if a dark cloud had covered the sun, and a dark cloud was pressing down on a city. The ink-like and viscous soul power was clearly not something that could be easily touched.
Everyone attacked at the same time. Several streaks of sword qi flew out and instantly sliced the black soul cloud into pieces. However, Saul's true attack was hidden behind the black cloud. As the black cloud was destroyed, seven or eight chains covered the sky and covered the earth as they attacked. As Saul exerted his soul power, they extended continuously as if they were alive.
But at this moment, two attacks suddenly came from the left side of the crowd. One was a Flowing Light Sword Qi, and the other was a green Strength Qi.
However, this attack wasn't aimed at the crowd. Instead, it went straight for Saul's Soul Chain. In an instant, the Soul Chain was cut apart by the Sword Qi and broken by the energy.
Everyone was astonished, and Saul was furious. He raised his eyebrows, tilted his head, and shouted, "Who's there?"
The crowd watched as two old men, their robes fluttering in the wind, came together. One was dressed in grey, and the other in green. The grey-robed man had a golden fox crouched on his shoulder, while the green-robed man carried a dispirited middle-aged man in his hand.
When the beautiful golden fox saw Lu Xuan, it immediately cried out in excitement. In a flash, it disappeared from the grey-robed man's shoulder, and in the next instant, it crashed into Lu Xuan's arms.
Lu Xuan, who was still holding Ling Jin in his arms, hurriedly tilted his body to the side, freeing up a hand to catch her. There was only one fox in the entire Heavenly Sword Continent that could have such an appearance and speed, and it was undoubtedly Little Tanuki!
Lu Xuan didn't have time to pay attention to Little Tanuki. He continued to stare at the two people in the distance, and with a trace of surprise, he said with uncertainty, "Great Grandfather, and Sikong Zhengqing, is that … Sikong Qing?"
As the three of them approached, the grey-clothed old man was undoubtedly Ye Wenyan, the green-robed old man was Sikong Zhengqing, and the person in his hand was Sikong Qing, who had narrowly escaped with his life and fled in a sorry state.
Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing didn't bother with Saul, and went straight to the people of the Nine Eastern Alliance. Sikong Zhengqing tossed the dispirited Sikong Qing over, and said, "Our family is unfortunate. I never thought that a descendant of the Sikong family would be so disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and unjust. He disregarded the safety of the human race on the Sky Sword Continent, and has forgotten his ancestors. Sikong Qing has been expelled from the family, and all his strength has been destroyed. From now on, he will be nothing more than a cripple."
Sikong Qing lay paralyzed on the ground. At this moment, his face was stupefied, and his eyes were staring blankly at the sky. The arrogance on his face had long since disappeared. He was the dignified Patriarch of the Sikong Clan, yet he had been expelled from the clan and had all his strength crippled. This was probably more painful than killing him.
Ye Wuheng took a deep breath, and cupped his hands. "Senior Sikong is a righteous man. You are truly a man of justice."
Sikong Zhengqing sighed softly. "This matter is the fault of the Sikong family. If it weren't for this unfilial son, things might not have turned out this way. I have come to atone for my sins. On the way here, I have asked all the warriors of the Holy Temple of Eight Directions to stop fighting, and to join forces with the Nine Eastern Alliance to clean up the remnants of the Illusion God Sect. "
Ye Wenyan smiled faintly, and said, "Brother Sikong, I never thought that the day would come when the two of us would join forces."
"When the Human Clan is in trouble, of course we should join forces. We have been rivals for a lifetime, and it's not bad to be teammates for once."
As the two of them spoke, Little Tanuki climbed onto Lu Xuan's shoulder with ease. She leaned against Lu Xuan's ear and whimpered, "Xuan, you are so unkind. You came out to fight and you didn't call me."
Lu Xuan smiled bitterly. Before leaving the Nine Eastern Alliance, he had taken out a large number of high-level Demonic Cores and fed the gluttonous Little Tanuki until it was full, until it fell into a deep sleep. Only then did he leave the Nine Eastern Alliance. He didn't want Little Tanuki to participate in this matter. Fighting against Saul was too dangerous. If they won, everything would be fine, but if they lost, no one who came would survive.
As long as Little Tanuki didn't come, with its miraculous talent, it wouldn't fall into Saul's hands. He hadn't expected Little Tanuki to wake up so quickly this time, and even let Ye Wenyan bring her over.
"Little Tanuki, listen. In a moment, you will help me look after Miss Ling Jin. If we lose, use your innate talent to teleport and escape with Miss Ling Jin. The further the better. This is a disaster for the Human Clan. You and Miss Ling Jin shouldn't have participated in this. If you can stay alive, I will be satisfied," Lu Xuan said quietly.
Little Tanuki's eyes darted around, and she curled her lips in a very human-like manner, and said, "Xuan, do you think I'm too young and easy to fool? This is a disaster for the Sky Sword Continent. Saul isn't just the common enemy of the Human Clan, he is the common enemy of the entire Sky Sword Continent! I, Lord Little Tanuki, was born in the Sky Sword Continent, so I am a part of it. I will fight for it! "
Lu Xuan stared at Little Tanuki in a daze. Only now did he realize that Little Tanuki had unknowingly shed its childish air, and was now revealing a hint of dominance. After all, it was a Dragon Raccoon, and it possessed the bloodline of a Divine Dragon!
As it spoke, Little Tanuki stared straight at Saul in the distance. Behind it, its five tails gently swept across Lu Xuan's back. Five-tailed Dragon Raccoon, rank five bloodline!
