"Yang Tian, the secrets on you are increasing by the day! Even my soul garment can restore mana with you. If you keep living, sooner or later, you'll replace me!"

The witch said coldly.

Hearing this, Yang Tian felt a killing intent.

If the witch discovered Yang Tian's relationship with her true body, he would undoubtedly be killed.

But now, it's obvious that even if the witch doesn't know her true form is within Yang Tian's Weed Ring, she will still kill him.

"Witch, we've never interfered with each other. I'm only here to find a few demon beasts and Wang Lingzhan. Why do you keep pestering us?"

Yang Tian shouted.

The witch giggled and said, "Yang Tian, are you begging for mercy?"

"I'm merely stating a fact!"

Yang Tian said sternly.

"First, Wang Lingzhan is my dog, and I want to kill him. Second, Yang Tian, you have too many secrets, and I want to kill you too!"

The witch said.

"In that case, let's do this! Thirty years ago, I let you die once, and I can let you die again now!"

Wang Lingzhan said coldly.

"Is that so?"

The witch's lips curled into a mocking smile. Her white jade-like fingers waved gently, and a huge Spirit Breath Shield pressed down on Wang Lingzhan, immobilizing him and leaving him cold all over.

"Taigong..."

Wang Yue called out anxiously.

Yang Tian didn't hesitate; he rushed forward, trying to break the witch's Spirit Breath Shield, but before he got close, the witch's jade hand flicked.

A beam of light hit Yang Tian's body with a snap.

At that moment, Yang Tian was immobile. He ran his Divine Sense over his body and frowned, "Witch, you've broken through again! This time, you've entered the Soul Firmament Realm!"

"Soul Firmament Realm?"

Hearing this, the three women, Wang Ying, Wang Yue, and Ling Ying, gasped.

A few days ago, the witch was still in the mid-Nascent Soul Realm. Unexpectedly, within days, her terrifying strength had broken through to the Soul Firmament Realm.

And Yang Tian was only at the early Nirvana Realm, while Wang Ying, the three women, were merely at the early Fetus Refining Realm.

Even Wang Lingzhan was only at the peak of the Nirvana Realm.

In front of the witch, they were nothing but a group of weaklings.

"Hehe, Yang Tian, do you know what the Soul Firmament Realm is?" The witch said indifferently, "You weaklings couldn't break into the Soul Firmament Realm in a thousand years, and in Huaxia's Ancient Martial Realm, there aren't many masters of this realm. Only those who break into the Spirit God Realm can resist the Celestial Mandate and ascend to immortality, but how would you poor weaklings ever understand this?"

Hearing this, there was a sense of unwillingness within Yang Tian.

He clenched his fists, quietly determined: Someday, I'll break into the Spirit God Realm and crush this witch beneath my feet.

"No use talking about this now, I'm going to kill. I'll use you to cleanse the thirty years of my silence with blood!"

The witch clenched her hand, and a dagger appeared.

This dagger was the Soul Dagger, which brings certain death to any soul it slices.

"President Wang, the three of you fall back!"

Yang Tian sensed the danger and hurriedly instructed the three women to retreat a step. Then he channeled the Spiritual Breath within him into the Holy Sword in his hand.

Woosh!

The Holy Sword ignited.

"Holy Sword Fourth Move: Sword Death!"

Holding the Holy Sword, Yang Tian performed the sword's fourth move.

But he didn't attack the witch; instead, he used the Holy Sword to draw out Divine Talismans, forming a Protective Array around everyone.

"Yang Tian, are you planning to hold out?"

The witch grew interested.

"That's right, I want to see if you can indeed kill us!"

Yang Tian planted the Holy Sword into the ground.

A glimmer from the Holy Sword surged out, continually concentrating on the Protective Array.

Yang Tian sat down in meditation, channeling his Spiritual Breath into the Holy Sword. He prepared for the final stand.

"Hehe..." But the witch giggled, "Yang Tian, you've piqued my interest. I won't kill you yet. Tell me, how did you manage to restore the mana of the soul garment?"

"I can't tell you!"

Yang Tian said coldly.

"Then you're courting death."

The witch giggled, suddenly striking down with a palm from the sky toward the Protective Array that Yang Tian had set up.

Bam!

A thunderous boom erupted.

The entire Protective Array vibrated violently.

Yang Tian felt his Spiritual Breath boiling within him, nearly causing him to spit up blood.

He knew well that opposing such a terrifying master as the witch was a certain path to death.

But he could only grit his teeth and face it.

Bam!

Another thunderous boom reverberated.

This time, the entire Protective Array shook fiercely.

Wang Ying, Wang Yue, and Ling Ying were knocked to the ground, gazing pale-faced at Yang Tian, "Big brother, are we going to die here?"

Yang Tian felt a pang in his heart.

The Spiritual Breath within him boiled violently, and blood surged to his throat, though he resisted the urge to spit it out.

Yet, outwardly, he steadfastly declared, "President Wang, don't worry. The witch cannot break my Protective Array!"

"Really?"

Wang Ying couldn't help but ask.

"Yes!"

Yang Tian nodded firmly.

If something happened to him, Wang Ying, Wang Yue, and Ling Ying would all die here, along with his unborn child.

No matter what, he had to hold on.
