In Gongsun Yudie's eyes, Chen Nan was just an arrow at the end of its flight.
After all, he had been injured by the dart first, and then by her palm strike. His injuries were already extremely serious. Although he had the strength to fight against those of a higher cultivation level, with his current injuries, he would not even be able to use 50% of his combat strength.
Gongsun Yudie had absolute confidence that she could kill Chen Nan!
"Boom …"
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as it collided with Chen Nan's Rushing Thunder Palm. Gongsun Yudie felt as if she had been electrocuted, and her entire body went numb.
However, this only lasted for a moment. In the next moment, the remaining True Qi in her body blocked the power of the lightning. The True Qi gushing out of her palm collided with Chen Nan's attack, and the ground shook violently.
"Crack …"
A crisp shattering sound rang out, and the palm strikes of the two were shattered almost at the same time. Their bodies were sent flying nearly a hundred meters away, and they fell to the ground and rolled more than ten meters away.
"Cough … cough …"
Chen Nan clutched his chest and coughed violently. Soon, blood stained the ground red.
He supported himself with both hands on the ground, trying to stand up, but he could not muster any strength. The Rushing Thunder Palm strike just now had exhausted all the strength in his body.
Looking at the dart that was still dripping blood from his chest, Chen Nan's heart was filled with hatred.
Although he was at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Qi Dao, which was one level lower than Gongsun Yudie, if he was not injured, he would not be afraid of a Ninth Heavenly Layer of Qi Dao!
It was not like he had never killed an enemy of a higher cultivation level before.
But today, he felt powerless. The injuries on his body were too serious.
Chen Nan looked at the unconscious Princess Dongfang and Hohinya on the ground. He gritted his teeth and stared at the approaching Gongsun Yudie. "You can kill me, but if you dare to touch the two of them, I will not forgive you even if I become a ghost!"
"They have no enmity with me, so I naturally will not kill the innocent."
Gongsun Yudie's face was pale, and the corners of her mouth were stained with blood. Her footsteps were a little weak as she walked towards Chen Nan.
Chen Nan's palm strike had also injured her internal organs, but her injuries were not as serious as Chen Nan's. She slowly pulled out the soft steel sword that was wrapped around her waist. She stared at Chen Nan: "I admire your martial arts aptitude, but unfortunately, you have a fatal weakness, and that is women."
Chen Nan said, "I only regret that I didn't chop off your head in the mangrove forest!"
Gongsun Yudie raised her sword and walked up to him. "That's why I said that women are your weakness." She glanced at Hohinya on the ground and said, "If it wasn't for this woman today, you wouldn't have stabbed yourself, and I wouldn't have killed you so easily."
Chen Nan sneered and said nothing.
"Die!"
Gongsun Yudie slowly raised the long sword in her hand and aimed it at Chen Nan's throat.
However, looking at the man in front of her who had no ability to resist, she couldn't bring herself to stab him even though she had raised her sword. As long as she exerted a little force, she would feel her hands go soft and unable to exert any strength.
She couldn't help but recall the many times Chen Nan had wanted to kill her, but he had let her go in the end.
Why can't I do it?
Gongsun Yudie gripped the soft steel sword so tightly that her hands were trembling.
At this moment, it was not her hands that were soft, but her heart that was soft. Her hands were controlled by her heart, and when her heart softened, her hands would soften.
"Since you won't kill him, then let me!"
Ye Ruoshui walked over, her eyes filled with killing intent. She stretched out her hand to Gongsun Yudie and said, "Lend me your sword."
Gongsun Yudie handed over the sword in a daze.
Ye Ruoshui was the disciple of the assassin Duan Hun, and she had also learned the martial arts of the evil sects. Compared to Gongsun Yudie, her methods were naturally more ruthless. She took the long sword and stabbed it towards Chen Nan's throat. Her attack was very vicious, and she didn't show any mercy.
Chen Nan's entire body was exhausted, and his internal energy had been exhausted. Although his mind could still react, and he wanted to dodge, his body couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
The tip of the sword was about to pierce his throat, but there was nothing he could do.
"Xiu …"
At this moment, a cold light suddenly flew over. It seemed to be a dart.
"Clang …"
A crisp sound of metal colliding rang out as the dart hit the surface of the sword, causing Ye Ruoshui's long sword to deviate, and the sword stabbed into empty air. Ye Ruoshui's hand went numb from the impact, and the soft steel sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
"Who is it?"
Gongsun Yudie and Ye Ruoshui turned their heads at the same time and looked to the side.
Not far away, a woman dressed in white was rushing over at high speed.
Her eyes were like limpid autumn waters, and her face was as cold as ice. Her face shape wasn't very beautiful, but it wasn't ugly either. It was the more ordinary kind.
Her entire person looked exceptionally cold, like an iceberg. It was this cold aura that added a unique temperament to her seemingly ordinary face.
At first glance, she might not be very beautiful, but she was very pleasing to the eye.
"Clang …"
With a light sound, the woman in white pulled out two crescent-shaped short knives from her waist. Without saying anything, she rushed forward and directly slashed at Gongsun Yudie with one knife, and Ye Ruoshui with the other.
These two seemingly ordinary slashes had a very sharp attack.
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
These three words were vividly displayed by the woman in white.
Facing such a ruthless attack, Ye Ruoshui couldn't react in time, and her arm was slashed by the woman in white. Blood immediately gushed out, and her left arm fell to the ground in an instant. She let out an incomparably miserable scream.
On the other side, Gongsun Yudie had already reached the ninth layer of Qi Dao. Although she reacted a little hurriedly, she still managed to dodge the attack by a hair's breadth.
"Who are you?"
Gongsun Yudie stomped her foot and kicked the soft steel sword up from the ground. She held it in her hand and stared at the woman in white with a wary expression.
"Go ask the King of Hell!"
The woman in white's voice was cold and emotionless.
As she spoke, the two knives in her hands danced, and like a dense net of knives, she attacked Gongsun Yudie one after another.
Gongsun Yudie didn't dare to be negligent. She held the soft steel sword in her hand tightly to block the attacks.
Seeing the two locked in a fierce battle, Ye Ruoshui clutched the wound on her broken arm and trembled in pain. She quickly turned around and ran away.
After more than ten moves, the two of them were evenly matched. However, the more Gongsun Yudie fought, the more frightened she became.
Through the exchange of blows just now, she could feel that the woman in white's cultivation was only at the eighth layer of Qi Dao. However, her knife skills were as fast as lightning, and her moves were strange and unpredictable.
If she hadn't been injured by Chen Nan's palm strike, Gongsun Yudie still had some confidence in winning. But now that she was injured, she couldn't gain the slightest advantage against the woman in white. If they continued to fight, it would only be a lose-lose situation.
"Consider yourself lucky!"
Gongsun Yudie glanced at Chen Nan, and with a feint, she turned around and flew away.
