This set of leg technique was as fast as lightning and was closely linked, making it impossible for one to defend against it. However, it still couldn't cause any damage to the assassin. When the boot landed on his abdomen, it was blocked by a golden light wall. It was the Divine Wall. Any God State expert would have a chance to comprehend the Divine Wall when they broke through to the thirtieth Paradise. The higher the talent, the higher the chance. It was enough to show that the assassin in front of them was definitely a talented person!
With a swing of the blade, Lin Muyu's next round of attack was forcefully pushed back. There was a burning sensation around his body. The force field that the assassin had condensed was really scorching!
With a sudden turn of his body, the assassin raised his palm and struck out. The raging flames in his palm expanded instantly. It was as though a huge flaming palm was pouncing towards Lin Muyu's face. The murderous aura was terrifying!
Lin Muyu didn't have any time to react at all. He raised his fist subconsciously and the Seven Luminaries Profound Force was filled up in the blink of an eye. The space started to distort. All the Seven Luminaries Profound Force seemed to be concentrated at one point and went straight for the opponent's palm — Four Luminaries Demon and God's Cry!
"Bang!"
The flames and the purple Seven Luminaries Profound Force burst out. The assassin's body swayed on the spot and stood firm. As for Lin Muyu, he was actually pushed back by nearly ten meters by the collision. The difference in their cultivation level was obvious at a glance.
The waves of God's Tide on his fist were attacking and numbing his nerves. His entire left arm felt as though it was about to be burned off. Lin Muyu was covered in cold sweat. The waves of his opponent's fifty-second Paradise were too fierce and he almost couldn't bear it.
After all, one was a Hierarch and the other was a Divine King. Moreover, his opponent had the Forged Immortal Physique. The difference was too big!
As though he had seen through the truth of Lin Muyu's strength, the vigilance in the assassin's eyes decreased. He held his sword and smiled. "If this is all you have, then … you can die now!"
Lin Muyu didn't say anything. He swung his sword gently and frost danced around. It was the prelude to the Icy Jade Frost's attack.
"Pa!"
Fallen leaves fluttered in the air, and under the impact of the airflow, Lin Muyu once again clashed with her opponent. Her sword continuously slashed with the penetrative power of Jade Snow Ice, and streams of ice and snow splattered in all directions. The assassin did not dare to underestimate her either. He directly took out his Spirit Pearl of Law, greatly increasing his divine power. Every sword strike brought with it a scorching flame. After nearly ten rounds, Lin Muyu's power began to weaken, and she was no longer able to maintain her strongest attacks under the opponent's Domain Force Field.
"What a pity! A talent like you is going to die like this! "
The assassin leaped up, and rings of raging flames descended from the sky, imprisoning Lin Muyu on the ground like a cage. Law Spirit Beads surged around the blade of his sword, and a mighty strike descended from the sky. He actually planned to use this strike to directly kill Lin Muyu?
"Phew …"
Lin Muyu lowered her body and took a deep breath. A crescent moon-shaped energy seeped into the blade of her sword. At the same time, with a loud shout, the Fire and Ice Law Spirit Beads flew out of her body, and she unleashed a Falling Moon River straight at her opponent!
"Boom!"
Flames and ice exploded in the sky, crashing in all directions. A loud sound rang through the clouds. In just a moment, Lin Tongtian and the others would definitely hear the news and rush over. There wasn't much time left for this assassin.
But what Lin Muyu didn't expect was that River Falling Moon would actually be completely defeated by the opponent's Law of Fire. Her attack instantly crumbled, and the assassin's sword slashed through her protective astral energy. "Pu!" A wound appeared on Lin Muyu's chest, and fresh blood flowed out.
"What?"
When the assassin saw the two Law Spirit Beads around Lin Muyu's arm, he was dumbfounded. Could it be that this brat also had a Forged Immortal Fate? Thinking of this, he couldn't let this brat live anymore! The assassin's figure descended with the wind, and his legs grabbed onto Lin Muyu's right arm with lightning speed. His fist descended from the sky, and with a "pa!", it landed on her wrist, and the Ice Origin Sword instantly flew out of her hand.
"Be careful …"
In the bamboo forest, the heavily injured Si Kongyao felt a chill in her heart. Seeing that Lin Muyu was about to be killed, she actually felt a heart-wrenching pain. Was this an illusion?
Between life and death, Lin Muyu's battle experience showed itself. Not only did she not panic, she even responded calmly. After the Ice Origin Sword flew out of her hand, she suddenly opened her right hand, and a golden light exploded in the night. This was the Light of Dawn ability of the Gourd Martial Spirit. In an instant, the assassin's eyes were almost blinded, and he screamed in pain.
"Shua shua shua!"
The little Demonic Noise Blade at her waist spun in her left hand, and Lin Muyu slashed out without thinking!
"Puchi!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and the assassin's wrist was directly cut open. The Demonic Noise Blade's high-speed spin had broken through the God Wall, and left a bone-deep wound on his wrist.
"Bastard!"
The assassin flew into a rage. The instant he flipped over from above Lin Muyu, his fist landed on Lin Muyu's back!
"Peng!"
Under the heavy fist, Lin Muyu flew into the bamboo forest on the other side like a cannonball. Bamboo leaves swirled in the air, and a few frightened hares ran into the distance.
…
"Ga … Ga …"
The assassin wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a burning pain came from his wrist. He used the sword in his right hand to support his body, and step by step, he walked towards Lin Muyu. His face was full of killing intent as he said, "I will kill you … I will kill you …"
However, at this time, the voice of a dragon knight came from the sky. "Miss Si Kongyao, where are you?"
The dragon knight had come!
The assassin was startled. If he stayed any longer, he might be at a great disadvantage. After all, he was already injured. His gaze fell on the bamboo forest. That brat was only seriously injured, but not dead. How could he be willing to give up?
"Shua!"
The spatial wall was torn open, but he still left. Compared to his life, killing was nothing.
…
"Yao …"
Lin Tongtian's voice came from the sky. His dragon had already been killed, and he could only fly by himself. He held the Frozen Ice Spear in his hand and flew over. He put down the spear and helped Si Kongyao, whose white clothes were stained with blood. Lin Tongtian was so scared that his face turned pale. "Yao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Si Kongyao shook her head and pointed to the bamboo forest in the distance. "Quick … quick, go and see the young hero … his injuries are even worse. If not for him, Yao would have been killed by the assassin."
"Oh, en …"
The dragon knight Fan Rui leaped down from the dragon's back and found the pitiful Lin Muyu in a pile of broken bamboo. There was a sword wound on his chest, and two of the bones in his back seemed to have been broken. However, his complexion was still good, and at least there was life in his eyes.
"Don't move."
Lin Muyu's voice was weak. "Lord Fan Rui, please let me lie down. Don't move. I need to heal my injuries and bones first. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
"En, en …"
Fan Rui nodded in agreement.
At this time, the other dragon knights had also landed. They looked at Lin Muyu, but they did not look down on him. Instead, they felt a sense of admiration. The assassins were obviously the same group of people from before. Even someone as strong as Lin Tongtian had his arm chopped off by them. On the other hand, not only did Lin Muyu save Si Kongyao, but he also saved his own life. It was enough to show how high his cultivation was.
Just like that, Lin Muyu lay quietly in the dewy bamboo forest. He closed his eyes and guided the Supreme Divine Powers in his body to unclog the bruises in his meridians and speed up the recovery and healing of his bones. A part of his Supreme Divine Powers originated from Fuxi's Divine Powers, and he was born with a strong self-healing ability. Not long after, his broken bones began to heal on their own.
However, it would take at least half a day for them to fully heal.
At this time, Lin Tongtian supported Si Kongyao as they walked over.
Si Kongyao had already finished applying the medicine. She knelt beside Lin Muyu and said, "Young hero, thank you … for saving me. You were injured so badly."
"It's alright." Lin Muyu looked straight at the sky, which was gradually brightening. "To be able to exchange blows with such an expert is one of the happiest things in life. First Mistress, you don't have to worry about it."
Lin Tongtian frowned and asked, "Young hero, since you've exchanged blows with this person, did you notice anything?"
"The Law of Fire and the Cast Immortal Character. Other than that, I don't know anything else. His martial arts are sometimes domineering and sometimes tricky. It's hard to defend against. Furthermore, this person is probably targeting First Mistress Si Kongyao."
"Are they here for Ah Yao? Why … "Lin Tongtian was stunned.
Lin Muyu smiled. "I don't know either. However, Lord Lin Tongtian, can you imagine what would happen if Si Kongyao was assassinated?"
Lin Tongtian pondered deeply for a moment. "A 'Yao is the apple of Master's eye. If A' Yao has really been harmed, then Master will surely be enraged. At that time … The entire Empyrean Sect will launch a war. So long as we find out who did it, no matter if it's the Darkstone Empire or the Heavenly Jue Empire, a war will surely be unavoidable."
"That's right. That's his motive."
"But …" Lin Tongtian was only a martial artist. He did not know much about tactics and schemes. He said, "But if the Thunder Ember Sect does this, wouldn't they be creating trouble for the Blackstone Empire? The Blackstone Empire's military is not even half of the Tianji Sect's. Although the Thunder Ember Sect is one of the Three Saint Sects, they are far from being comparable to the Tianji Sect. Why would they seek trouble for themselves?"
"I'm afraid it might not be the Thunder Ember Sect." Lin Muyu said.
"This …"
No matter how stupid Lin Tongtian was, he had already figured it out. "Could it be that someone is trying to frame the Thunder Ember Sect?"
"I'm not sure."
Lin Muyu shook her head. "We can't be sure for now. Anyone can be a suspect. Anyway, Lord Lin Tongtian, you just have to protect Lady Si Kongyao for the time being."
"Yes, I will."
Lin Tongtian looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn. Let's get ready to set off. I'll order someone to cut down bamboo and make a stretcher for you. This way, it won't affect our journey. We can enter the official road of the Celestial Empire before nightfall and seek refuge with their army. At least for now, the Tianji Empire and the Celestial Empire are still on good terms."
"Yes, I'll leave it to you."
Lin Muyu nodded. She felt a wave of fatigue and fell into a deep sleep.
