At that moment, Linlong, who had been standing motionlessly, suddenly wrapped his arms around Murong Xue, who was standing in front of him.
The others frowned when they saw this. Lin Long's embrace had caused Murong Xue's body to go limp. The defensive martial technique she'd already activated instantly vanished without a trace because of this sudden turn of events.
What's Linlong doing? Although junior sister Murong's defensive martial technique can't stop senior brother Yang Jian's attack, it can at least weaken it. He's completely defenseless now.
Does he think he can't beat senior brother Yang Jian? Is that why he's decided to die together with junior sister Murong in this way?
The others all cursed silently.
Murong Xue had planned to use all her strength to block the attack, but she never expected Linlong to suddenly hug her from behind. Caught off guard, the defensive martial technique she'd already activated dissipated under Linlong's influence.
When she felt the warmth of Linlong's body, Murong Xue, who should have been complaining, suddenly felt relieved. A smile even appeared on her face.
Perhaps this is senior brother Lin and I'm destined to be like this. This thought flashed through Murong Xue's mind.
When he saw this, Yang Jian became even more furious.
That damned Linlong! How dare he try to show off in front of me! I'll make sure you die without a complete corpse! Yang Jian roared inwardly.
In his rage, the spiritual flames on the Frosty Sword burned even more violently.
Just when everyone thought that Linlong and Murong Xue would be defenseless and that they would be torn to shreds by Yang Jian's Frosty Sword, a burst of energy suddenly erupted from Linlong's body. Layers of energy surrounded him and Murong Xue.
This Linlong was actually able to use a defensive martial skill while carrying a person!
The surrounding people, including Yang Jian, were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
It was no wonder they were shocked. Activating a martial technique had very strict requirements on one's profound energy. Once one's profound energy was affected, the martial technique would be affected as well.
An ordinary person could at most activate a defensive martial skill in such a critical moment. Even an expert would only be able to perfectly release a defensive martial skill.
However, Linlong was still able to unleash a defensive martial skill of such a degree while carrying a person in his arms. They could not help but be astonished.
One had to know that in a situation where one was hugging someone, even if they were not attacked by the enemy, it would still be difficult to activate a defensive martial technique.
This was not a matter of course. The powerhouses of the Chaotic Sky Continent had experimented, and even Martial Overlord powerhouses found it difficult to achieve this.
Yet, not only had Linlong accomplished it, he'd done it while being attacked. So, they could only exclaim in admiration.
However, even so, they did not think that Linlong could withstand Yang Jian's attack. At most, he could neutralize part of the attack. In the end, he would not be able to escape from Yang Jian's hands.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened. The energy surrounding Linlong and Murong Xue was surrounded by a strange flame that they had never seen before.
These flames looked like burning metal.
What kind of flame was this? In the blink of an eye, the few of them were once again dumbstruck.
Furthermore, the flame did not just look strange. Most importantly, as soon as it appeared, the surrounding ice immediately melted into nothingness, and the temperature in the air suddenly rose.
Without even exchanging blows, Yang Jian's Thousand Pearls Spiritual Fire had already been defeated by Linlong's spiritual fire.
As the others watched in shock, the two energies finally collided.
They had thought that it would be an earth-shattering collision, but they were wrong again. Yang Jian's sword Qi, which was as swift as a swan, immediately disappeared as soon as it pierced Linlong's energy. It was as if it had never appeared in the first place.
Following that, all the coldness disappeared without a trace. All that was left in the surrounding air was endless heat.
Yang Jian staggered a few steps back with a grunt, then spat out a mouthful of blood.
In this exchange, Linlong had injured Yang Jian before he could even attack. It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
"How is this possible?" Yang Jian cried out in disbelief once again.
He had already used such a trump card, but Linlong's strength was unexpectedly powerful. He didn't seem to be able to defeat him at all.
"You're a late-stage Martial Lord?" Yang Jian said in shock.
If he didn't have such strength, no matter how much stronger the spiritual fire was, it would not have been able to dissolve his attack so easily.
Linlong was more than a late-stage Martial Lord. However, he didn't answer Yang Jian's question because he simply didn't put him in his eyes.
"What kind of spiritual fire is this?" Yang Jian asked again when Linlong didn't reply.
It was clearly a spiritual fire stronger than the Thousand Pearls Spiritual Fire, but he had never seen or heard of it. So, naturally, he was curious.
Linlong said coldly, "You only need to know that this secret realm will be your burial ground."
Yang Jian's actions had ignited the fury in his heart. If it weren't for his powerful strength, Murong Xue would have definitely been killed by Yang Jian.
After speaking, Linlong put Murong Xue down.
After her feet touched the ground, Murong Xue's face immediately flushed red because she suddenly remembered that she wasn't injured. She didn't need Linlong to hold her for so long.
However, no one noticed Murong Xue's slight loss of composure. Their gazes were completely focused on Yang Jian and Linlong, who were opposing each other.
"You want to kill me? Linlong, you're not qualified! "Yang Jian said furiously.
To be honest, Linlong's strength did indeed appear to be much stronger than him. However, Yang Jian still had one final, and most powerful, trump card.
Afterwards, Yang Jian abruptly chanted some Talisman terms. At the same time, he poured his Profound energy into the Ice Sword without any regard for his life.
As he did so, his complexion became incomparably pale. The hand he used to hold the sword even trembled slightly.
After a few breaths, the aura on the Ice Sword rose explosively. Moreover, in comparison to before, its energy was clearly several times stronger.
In an instant, the temperature of the surrounding air plummeted once more, and the speed was also several times faster than before.
* crack crack … *
Once again, there was the sound of water vapor condensing into icicles and shattering.
What's going on? How did senior brother Yang Jian suddenly become several times stronger? This question surfaced in the hearts of the onlookers.
Linlong had already pulled Murong Xue behind him. A look of worry surfaced on her face once again. She was worried because the current Yang Jian was like a completely different person.
Did senior brother Yang Jian use some sort of secret technique? This thought flashed through Murong Xue's mind.
She felt that this was the only possibility, but she also felt that it wasn't right. This didn't seem to be how a secret technique should be.
This time, Murong Xue did not stand in front of Linlong. She knew that if she tried to block Linlong's attack, she would only be causing trouble for him.
"Linlong, you're dead meat!"
As the onlookers watched in bewilderment, Yang Jian suddenly exploded with power. A sword qi several times stronger than before slashed towards Linlong once again.
