CHAPTER 1849: CHAPTER 1850: PROTECTING YOU WITH MY LIFE

With a loud shout, the Verdict swept through the air, waves of energy swirling around, and all attacks were effortlessly swept aside by you.

"Watch out!"

Zhao Yu’s voice barely reached your ears when a thin sword, as thick as a finger, was already aiming for the center of your brows. At this moment, the distance between your eyebrows and the thin sword was no more than ten centimeters, making it unavoidable!

"Ding!"

The tip of the thin sword broke through your outer skin, but advanced no further.

"Woo!"

The Verdict swept swiftly past, creating a crying sound as it touched the air, and the dark shadow instantly flashed ten meters away, with a speed that was truly ghostly!

"Husband, be careful, this person is the Ghost King, one of the Five Strange and Four Extremes!"

At this time, you had no leisure to understand whatever nonsense the "Five Strange and Four Extremes" meant, realizing that this world was indeed as dangerous as you imagined. You had been quite diligent. When Hua Tuo taught you the Five Elements Opera, he clearly stated that there were many powerful individuals in the world. Hua Tuo repeatedly warned you to never engage with them before you mastered the Five Elements Opera.

Plans could never keep up with changes. Originally, you only intended to find Zhao Yu, then quickly return to Wuji with her and Ren Hongchang to establish your own base as soon as possible.

In turbulent times, to become king, it was never personal martial strength alone. Once you had a mighty force, the so-called unparalleled warriors would be nothing but a pile of flesh in front of it.

Yet now, you had to personally face this freak whose speed was approaching supersonic. The Ghost King’s attack wasn’t strong; his terror lay in his speed. If you didn’t have the Vajra Body, you would have been finished a moment ago. This both shocked and angered you; in the real world, your strength was already infinitely close to divine, and once the Sen Luo Eye activated, whoever you stared at would conceive!

But now you were being restrained by a short dark figure, even feeling the scent of death, making your heart jump to your throat.

Moreover, you had loved ones by your side; for them, you must fight with all your strength, just for survival!

"Boom!"

Without gunpowder, nor any combustible or explosive items, your body suddenly exploded with a "bang!", smoke and dust rising everywhere! In that instant, the Ghost King’s pupils dilated abruptly, his figure vanished suddenly!

"Bang!"

The moment the Ghost King disappeared, the wall behind him was blasted to pieces by the Verdict, and countless bricks and stones shot out, injuring and killing many Xiliang Soldiers outside.

"Ding!"

After the Verdict hit the wall, it spun back to your back, accurately blocking the thin sword stabbed by the Ghost King.

However, when you turned around, the Ghost King’s thin sword appeared at your nape!

"Puff!"

This time, the thin sword did not pierce your skin, only pausing on the outer layer, yet because of this stab, you spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, the Ghost King continuously stabbed you with seven swords in all, each strike landing on your back! Enduring the intense pain, without turning your head, you rushed forward a dozen meters, suddenly stopping to grab a Xiliang Soldier as a shield in front of you.

The Ghost King’s longsword penetrated the heart of the Xiliang Soldier, passing through, yet still stabbed into your chest, making you spit blood again.

"Zhao Yu, from today on, you are the Sect Leader of the Goddess Sect, quickly lead the disciples to escape!"

Seeing you seriously injured, Zou Nan immediately took out a Jade Pendant from his bosom and tossed it to Zhao Yu, his sword transforming into a multicolored ray to pierce the Ghost King!

"Husband!" Seeing your injury, Ren Hongchang also attacked the Ghost King with Zou Nan. However, midway, you intercepted Ren Hongchang with your body and threw her toward Zhao Yu, shouting at the two women: "Stop nagging and leave now, I have the Vajra Body, I won’t die so easily! Remember, you are my most beloved people, I won’t allow any harm to come to you, now leave, immediately, at once!"

"But, husband..."

In Zhao Yu’s moment of hesitation, you roared loudly: "Go!!!"

As you shouted, the Ghost King’s thin sword once again aimed at you, this time targeting your right eye!

At the critical moment, you turned your head, opening your mouth wide, revealing two rows of pristine white teeth!

"Clang!"

You actually bit down on the Ghost King’s thin sword with your teeth!

Taking advantage of this gap, Zou Nan’s longsword was already upon you!

The Ghost King abandoned the thin sword at the first opportunity, leaping up, shooting towards Zhao Yu!

In mid-air, the Ghost King drew a silver-glinting dagger from his back, aiming straight for Zhao Yu’s head. At the moment, Zhao Yu was fighting a man in black and couldn’t spare the effort to block.

"Get back here!"

At the critical moment, your hand seemed to tear through space, grabbing the Ghost King’s right foot, then violently hurling him towards the back wall.

The Ghost King’s body, just as it was about to hit the wall, disappeared again!

"Clang!" The dagger, at an extremely bizarre and tricky angle, aimed for your ear canal, but you weren’t slow to react, and the Verdict arrived in time to block it.

Though the text elaborates, those moves happened within a mere two or three seconds. Zhao Yu and Ren Hongchang exchanged a glance, knowing it was better to leave early rather than be a burden. Without delay, the two women led the Goddess Sect disciples, breaking through the window and fighting their way out.

"You go too!" Zou Nan swung his sword towards the Ghost King, who didn’t take the attack head-on but disappeared again. Like smoke drifting and dust scattering, he appeared on your other side, the dagger flashing once more!

"Nonsense!"

As soon as the words left your mouth, your right foot, at an incredible speed and angle, kicked towards the Ghost King, whose expression changed immediately, switching from a stab to a slash to sever your right leg. However, something even more unexpected occurred; you suddenly emitted multicolored light all over, and in the Ghost King’s vision, your right foot vanished!

The Ghost King didn’t even have time to blink before your right foot struck his abdomen with a tremendous kick, propelling him towards the wall like a cannonball, exploding on impact!

As the Ghost King hit the wall, you suddenly grabbed Zou Nan’s sword-holding right hand. You intended to pull Zou Nan away, but at the moment of contact, both of you felt an electric sensation coursing through your bodies, causing your hands to spring apart.

"Tsk!"

Without bothering with the cause, or with Zou Nan’s reaction, you grabbed Zou Nan’s slender, soft right hand again, stamping your right foot, and dashed in the opposite direction of Zhao Yu and the others!

You stormed out of the inn with Zou Nan, running at full speed. As soon as you caught your first breath, Zou Nan broke free from your grip, looking at you with a hardened expression, without a word.

"I ask you, are you leaving or not?" If Zou Nan wasn’t Zhao Yu’s master, you’d never speak to her here, as the Ghost King was already closing in with a group of his men.

Zou Nan turned to face the Ghost King with her sword, back towards you, saying: "From now on, I entrust everything to you."

Having spoken, Zou Nan thrust the sword straight at the charging Ghost King!

Yet, before Zou Nan could move half a meter, she felt a strong body pressed against her back, a powerful arm enveloping her waist. In that instant, Zou Nan’s breath was disrupted again. Being embraced by you, Zou Nan was enveloped in an unprecedented sensation, her body softening naturally.

"If you die here, I won’t be able to face Yu’er when we get home!"

Ignoring Zou Nan’s feelings, you forcibly swept her up, once again sprinting at full speed.
