CHAPTER 90: CHAPTER 86: IS IT RAINING IN THE SKY?

"Senior Sister Fu, are... are you okay?"

Fu Manman suddenly snapped back to her senses, and the malice vanished instantly. She frowned and said,

"You hide first, leave this to me."

"Al... alright."

Ai Yinian knew that staying here would only be a burden, so he quickly found a place to hide.

Fu Manman once again faced off with Wei Shaoyuan.

Their cultivation levels differed by three realms, making it quite strenuous for Fu Manman. She was constantly at a disadvantage. However, she was incredibly resilient and resourceful. Despite being on the losing side, she didn’t show any signs of fatigue or defeat.

Wei Shaoyuan wanted to end this quickly, so he called the short man from before to join in the attack.

With both of them attacking, Fu Manman felt even more pressure, and slowly began to show signs of exhaustion.

...

Meanwhile, on another side, Jiang Maodian had already confronted Xu Lengshi and Yi Shanhe.

He simultaneously wielded two flying swords; one was as swift and powerful as a thunderbolt, while the other was as subtle and hidden as an undercurrent, harboring lethal intent.

As a Sword Cultivator, his combat strength was already higher than others of the same realm, and with two Lifebound Flying Swords, he was undoubtedly a Sword Dao genius.

This only intensified Xu Lengshi and Yi Shanhe’s resolve to not let him go.

After offending someone like him, they had to use every means to eliminate him, or else they would face endless trouble.

Xu Lengshi slashed fiercely with his blade, the flash of his blade grazed Jiang Maodian’s face... A streak of blood shot out, casting a chilling aura under the cold moonlight,

"Hmph, stubborn resistance!"

Jiang Maodian retorted fiercely,

"You two, you’d better really kill me. Otherwise..."

Yi Shanhe unleashed a dozen talismans. The talismans encapsulated Jiang Maodian, then each exploded in turn, instantly shredding his clothes, and opening wounds on his flesh.

"Thanks for the warning, Brother Jiang, we will definitely kill you."

Jiang Maodian controlled the two flying swords to strike at the two of them, but they were easily dodged.

Yi Shanhe pulled out another dozen or so talismans, affixing them to Jiang Maodian to pin him tightly in mid-air.

Xu Lengshi drew his blade and charged, shouting,

"Weak and powerless, where did your thunderbolt-like sword momentum go?"

Jiang Maodian suddenly shook forcefully, breaking free from the control of the talismans, but it was too late to adjust his posture. His left shoulder was struck by Xu Lengshi’s blade. His left arm, along with his shoulder, was completely severed.

Missing a limb, his blood gushed out immediately.

Jiang Maodian’s aura visibly withered. He fell to the ground, half-kneeling, the two flying swords returned to guard him. He panted heavily.

Xu Lengshi and Yi Shanhe watched him warily, neither daring to approach easily.

No one knew if he still had any deadly tricks.

Yi Shanhe said,

"Watch me finish him off from a distance!"

This time, he held nothing back, unleashing over twenty talismans, their runes obscure and complex, subtly exuding a peculiar rhythm. They were much stronger than the previous ones.

Jiang Maodian turned his head to the other side.

Fu Manman was also disheveled, her clothes tattered, with a malicious aura swirling around her.

Jiang Maodian closed his eyes, thinking,

"Seems like it’s truly a desperate situation. At the very least, I need to ensure the younger ones escape..."

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a bloodline appeared in the center of his brow.

At the same moment, an overwhelming ferocious aura swept in from all sides, whistling around the bloodline on his brow.

Yi Shanhe frowned, "What’s going on?"

"He’s going to burn his Lifebound Flying Sword!" Xu Lengshi exclaimed, "Run!"

"Wait! He’s stopped again."

Xu Lengshi looked back at Jiang Maodian and found, surprisingly, that he had stopped channeling his energy, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face.

Smiling?

He was smiling?

Why?!

Xu Lengshi seemed provoked and shouted,

"What are you smiling about!"

Jiang Maodian didn’t answer the question but looked up at the sky and said softly,

"It’s raining."

Raining?

Xu Lengshi and Yi Shanhe looked up at the sky.

Unbeknownst to them, dark clouds had already covered the sky, completely swallowing the moonlight.

The wind blew in from all directions.

The heavy rain poured down in an instant, drenching the earth.

A disquieting atmosphere brewed in the rain.
