Fang Jingshan failed to materialize the sword and suffered a backlash from the sword Qi.
"Master!"
Gongsun Yudie was originally running toward Chen Nan to stop them from fighting again, but she didn't expect such a turn of events. She quickly turned around and ran toward Fang Jingshan.
Fang Jingshan fell to the ground and pointed at Chen Nan. "Yu … Yudie, go and kill him, or … or you will be disobeying your master's orders!"
Gongsun Yudie's face changed drastically.
* Plop … *
Her eyes reddened, and she knelt in front of Fang Jingshan again. She shook her head and said, "Master, Yudie is useless. Yudie can't do it."
Fang Jingshan was furious, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. "Traitor … traitor, you traitor!"
Gongsun Yudie's face changed drastically, and she quickly got up and ran toward Fang Jingshan. "Master, are you alright? Don't be angry, you …"
"Go away!"
The Eighth Stage Imperial Dao Realm Elder, Wang Jinglin, rushed over and pushed Gongsun Yudie away. He scolded, "Don't try to be a hypocrite here. You only have Chen Nan in your heart. It was you who disobeyed Master's orders that made Senior Brother Sect Leader so angry that he vomited blood.
"No, Senior Uncle Wang, it's not like that."
Gongsun Yudie cried and shook her head, but Wang Jinglin ignored her. He channeled his inner energy and charged toward Chen Nan. "Chen, if I don't kill you today, how can our Heavenly Sword Sect establish itself in the pugilistic world?!"
His palm energy surged, and it was extremely powerful.
Coincidentally, Chen Nan had successfully triggered the "All" secret art after more than ten attempts, and his strength had been doubled.
Now that he had reversed his cultivation and stepped into the Fourth Tier of the Imperial Dao Stage, he could easily defeat an Eighth Tier Imperial Dao Stage cultivator.
"You are courting death!"
Chen Nan roared as he channeled his inner energy and struck out with the Heaven Crushing Strike.
"Boom …"
A violent gust of wind surged, and without any suspense, Wang Jinglin was instantly sent flying like a kite with its string cut. He flew for nearly a hundred meters before falling to the ground and coughing out mouthfuls of blood. He couldn't even stand up.
"Chen Nan … you!"
Gongsun Yudie pointed a finger at Chen Nan, her eyes filled with both resentment and love.
Chen Nan said, "I didn't kill him."
"Even so, you shouldn't have been so heavy-handed. After all, he is still my Martial Uncle!" Gongsun Yudie wanted to get angry, but she couldn't bring herself to do so.
"Yu Die, I …"
Chen Nan looked at her back and opened his mouth, but before he could finish his sentence, he felt his legs give way and he fell to the ground with a plop.
After a series of battles, his inner strength was already somewhat exhausted.
Moreover, during the battle with Fang Jingshan just now, his entire body had been injured by Fang Jingshan's sword qi when he broke Fang Jingshan's ability to condense his body into a sword, and he had almost lost his life. Now, he was completely exhausted.
When the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect saw this, someone immediately shouted — —
"That bastard fainted, quickly kill him!"
The surrounding disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect rushed toward Chen Nan like a raging tide.
Gongsun Yudie quickly turned around and rushed in front of Chen Nan. Her eyes were a little red as she pulled out her sword and looked around. "If any of you want to kill him, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
The last Seventh Tier Imperial Dao Realm elder walked over.
Duan Jinghong was the only one among the nine elders who hadn't fought with Chen Nan, so he was still unharmed. "Yu Die, don't be so stubborn. This brat only has feelings for you, and you're willing to go against the sect for him? "
"Martial Uncle Duan, I don't want to go against you. I only beg you to let him go." Gongsun Yudie begged bitterly.
Duan Jinghong pulled out his sword and pointed it at Chen Nan. "You traitorous disciple, what a waste of Senior Brother Sect Master's love for you! If we don't kill Chen Nan today, how can the Heavenly Sword Sect establish itself in the pugilistic world in the future? Get out of my way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Jinghong stabbed his sword at Chen Nan.
"Martial Uncle Duan!"
Gongsun Yudie shouted and placed the sword on her neck. "Yudie's martial arts are weak, so I naturally can't stop Martial Uncle Duan. But if you insist on killing him, I can only die with him!"
"You!"
Duan Jinghong stopped in his tracks. He was so angry that he was fuming, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, he ran over from the crowd and grabbed Chen Nan's hands. He said to Gongsun Yudie, "Senior Sister, let me help you. Take him to the cave to heal his wounds."
Duan Jinghong was so angry that his face turned green. "Wang Hou, you traitor! Are you going to betray the sect too?"
Gongsun Yudie shook her head. "Little Monkey, this has nothing to do with you. I brought this upon myself. Don't get involved."
"My life was given to me by Senior Sister. As long as I can help Senior Sister, I don't mind dying." Wang Hou helped Chen Nan up and said, "Senior Sister, let's go to the cave."
Gongsun Yudie clenched her teeth and stood up.
Because she had a sword on her neck, no one dared to stop her. Duan Jinghong could only watch them leave. There was nothing he could do.
He had watched Gongsun Yudie grow up. If he caused Gongsun Yudie to commit suicide just to kill Chen Nan, he couldn't bear to do it.
Under the moonlight, Gongsun Yudie and Wang Hou carried Chen Nan into the cave.
Duan Jinghong instructed a few disciples to help the Sect Leader and the injured Elders back to rest. As for himself, he led a few dozen disciples and followed closely behind Gongsun Yudie and the others, heading towards the cave.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Wang Hou carried Chen Nan in first. Gongsun Yudie stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at Duan Jinghong. "Martial Uncle, if you don't want Yudie to die, please don't come in."
After saying that, she gathered her inner energy and clawed.
A blue light rushed out and lifted a huge rock in the distance, blocking the entrance of the cave. Then, she ran into the cave.
Outside the cave, Duan Jinghong watched, but he didn't go forward.
He knew very well what Gongsun Yudie meant. If they went in, it would be the same as forcing her to commit suicide.
"What a sin! How did my Heavenly Sword Sect produce such a traitor?!"
Duan Jinghong roared angrily. He raised his hand and smashed a stone slab beside him.
According to the rules of the sect, he had enough power to kill Gongsun Yudie. But after all, they had been together for so many years. She was like his own daughter. How could he bear to force her to commit suicide?
"You guys stay here and guard. Don't let them come out to pick the herbs. Chen Nan is seriously injured. He definitely won't be able to make it. I'll go check on the Sect Leader's injuries first." Duan Jinghong ordered. He threw the sword in his hand to the ground and walked away.
The light in the cave was very dim. The moonlight couldn't shine in at all.
However, at Gongsun Yudie's level of cultivation, the darkness couldn't block her vision at all. As long as she circulated her inner energy, she could see everything clearly.
After helping Chen Nan to lie down, Gongsun Yudie untied his clothes, which were already stained red with blood.
His bronze skin couldn't be seen clearly anymore. All she could see were bloody wounds. Although they were all superficial wounds, there were a lot of them. These wounds were all caused by Fang Jingshan's Celestial Sword Qi when he used his body to condense the sword.
If it weren't for Chen Nan's strong physique and the protection of the Ancient Desolate Shield, he would have long been shredded to pieces by the Sword Qi.
Gongsun Yudie gently stroked the wounds on Chen Nan's chest. Tears fell from her eyes. Every single wound was caused by someone who had done this for her. She sobbed, "Little Monkey, I don't have any herbs in this cave. Martial Uncles and the others must be guarding the exit. We can't go out to pick herbs. What should we do?"
