Suddenly, a man drenched in blood appeared in front of Nangong Yan.
His entire face had been burnt, and even his hair had been burnt away. His appearance could not be seen clearly.
However, from the broken golden armor on his body, it was not difficult to tell that he was Xue Rengui, who had previously fought against the Southern Summer King at the main base of the stronghold.
The Southern Summer King's strongest attack had not been able to kill Xue Rengui in the end. However, it had seriously injured Xue Rengui, causing his strength to be greatly weakened.
After using the talisman to forcefully increase his mental power, Xue Rengui had once again fallen into an extremely weak state. In this state, he was unable to use his vitality and mental power, causing his strength to be further weakened.
However, even so, he was still not someone that Nangong Yan could deal with.
The moment she saw Xue Rengui, Nangong Yan's body stiffened. It was as if she had been stared at by the Grim Reaper.
At that moment, Xue Rengui's face was so malevolent that it looked like a devil that had crawled out of hell. Coupled with his pair of demonic yellow eyes that were filled with killing intent, it was even more terrifying.
"What did you do to my royal father?" Nangong Yan gently put down Lin Yun and drew out a sword from her waist.
Although she was very clear that the Southern Summer King had left her forever, she could not help but ask. She wanted the enemy to personally tell her that her royal father had died.
"Daughter of the Southern Summer King, I will torture you until you beg for death!" Xue Rengui shouted and pounced towards Nangong Yan like a devil.
Nangong Yan did not retreat. Instead, she bravely held her sword and rushed towards Xue Rengui. Now that she was carrying Lin Yun, it was impossible for her to escape. She could only fight to the death with her enemy.
Both of them had no vitality left, so they could only fight in close combat.
The sword in Nangong Yan's hand was a high-grade Profound Treasure.
Xue Rengui no longer had any Yuan Qi protecting his body. His armor was tattered, and some parts of it were even riddled with scars. In his current state, he had no defense to speak of. If he was hit by this treasure, he would definitely be injured.
It was precisely because of this that Nangong Yan had the courage to fight Xue Rengui to the death.
However, Nangong Yan still underestimated Xue Rengui's strength. Even though Xue Rengui was seriously injured and weak, his speed was still far above Nangong Yan's.
Nangong Yan's two consecutive sword strikes were dodged by Xue Rengui.
At the same time when he dodged the third strike, Xue Rengui suddenly stretched out his bloody left hand and grabbed the sword in Nangong Yan's hand.
Before Nangong Yan could react, Xue Rengui immediately stretched out his right hand and grabbed her neck. He lifted her up and ruthlessly took the sword from her hand.
In Xue Rengui's hand, Nangong Yan was like a powerless child. She struggled desperately to escape from the devil's claws, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape.
"Ha!" Xue Rengui let out a ferocious cry and threw Nangong Yan to the ground. He stepped on Nangong Yan's body and stabbed the sword in her thigh.
Nangong Yan's body trembled in pain, but she clenched her teeth and silently endured the pain. She did not scream.
Although Nangong Yan was a princess, she did not have the pampering of a princess. Since she was young, the Southern Summer King had taught her that as a princess of the Southern Summer Kingdom, she must have the spirit of 'rather die than submit'. She must not surrender in front of the enemy, and she must not show any weakness in front of the enemy.
Therefore, even if the sword pierced through her thigh, she could still do it without making a sound.
Xue Rengui's sword stabbed very deeply. After the sword pierced through Nangong Yan's thigh, it stabbed deep into the ground and nailed her to the ground.
"See how I will deal with you later!" After pinning Nangong Yan to the ground, Xue Rengui walked towards Lin Yun.
Although he wanted to torture Nangong Yan to vent his anger, it was more important to obtain Lin Yun's power. Therefore, he had to take this opportunity to cripple Lin Yun's Dantian and limbs. Otherwise, once Lin Yun recovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When Xue Rengui walked towards Lin Yun, Nangong Yan suddenly hugged his left leg with both her hands and bit down hard on his shin.
Xue Rengui's left leg was already badly mutilated from the explosion. Even the skin was gone, and only the bloody tissue was exposed. Therefore, he did not have much defense. After being bitten by Nangong Yan, he could not help but gasp in pain.
"Damn it, get lost!" Xue Rengui shouted angrily and immediately lifted his right leg to kick Nangong Yan's face.
Although Xue Rengui was seriously injured, he still had a lot of strength left. Every kick of his could grind Nangong Yan's face into the soil and make a small pit on the ground.
After a few consecutive kicks, Nangong Yan's entire head was crushed into the soil. However, she still held onto Xue Rengui's left leg and did not let go. Her mouth was still biting a piece of flesh on Xue Rengui's shin.
Xue Rengui was furious. He immediately grabbed the sword that penetrated Nangong Yan's thigh and shook it from side to side. The blade of the sword cut and rubbed the wound back and forth. It was so painful that Nangong Yan's delicate body kept twitching.
Xue Rengui then raised his right foot and stepped on Nangong Yan's thigh with the tip of his foot. He continuously kicked the area that was pierced by the sword blade, causing her to finally groan in pain. Her delicate body started to twitch as if she was having an epileptic fit.
Under the inhumane torture of Xue Rengui, Nangong Yan almost went into shock. Finally, she weakly let go of Xue Rengui's left leg.
Xue Rengui stepped on her face again and then limped towards Lin Yun.
At this moment, a sharp whistling sound was heard.
Xue Rengui hurriedly turned his head and saw a vertical crescent-shaped Qi Blade falling from mid-air and slashing towards his position.
Xue Rengui did not hesitate and quickly retreated.
The crescent-shaped Qi Blade swept past in front of him and left a deep gully on the ground.
"Who is it!" Xue Rengui hurriedly turned his head and saw a figure descending from the sky.
It was a silver-haired and silver-eyed young man. He held a white jade folding fan in his left hand and a platinum jade mirror in his right hand. He was more beautiful than a woman and it was difficult to distinguish his gender.
The silver-haired young man did not answer. He waved the folding fan in his hand again and released several crescent-shaped Qi Blades. They fell towards Xue Rengui on a large scale.
If it was in the past, Xue Rengui would not even bother to dodge an attack of this level. This was because an attack of this level would not be able to break through his Qi Shield.
However, at this moment, he did not have the protection of his Qi Shield and he was also seriously injured. Naturally, he did not dare to take this kind of attack head-on. He could only jump back and dodge.
Several crescent-shaped Qi Blades fell to the ground and instantly cut a few shocking gashes in the ground.
Hana Mio took advantage of the situation and continued to release Qi Blades at Xue Rengui, delaying Xue Rengui.
Lin Ying and Murong Xue also rushed to the scene.
