When the ninth princess saw that Chu Yunfeng was about to be killed by Xue Yin, she attacked in the nick of time.
The ninth princess had to help because only Chu Yunfeng could contend with Xue Yin. If he died, Xue Yin would be invincible and unstoppable.
She deployed her unique defensive skill, the Teal Lotus Shield, to defend Chu Yunfeng and block Xue Yin’s deadly attack.
Everyone watched as two streaks of scarlet wheels ruthlessly cut the lotus shield.
BOOM!
CRACK!
An explosion was heard, followed by a crisp sound. As expected, the two streaks of scarlet wheels easily cut through the lotus shield and chopped at Chu Yunfeng.
Thanks to the ninth princess’ Teal Lotus Shield that delayed the attack from the two streaks of scarlet wheels, albeit for only a brief moment, Chu Yunfeng was able to avoid the attack that was aimed at his head.
But, the two streaks of scarlet wheels did eventually cut Chu Yunfeng’s shoulders.
No matter how much effort Chu Yunfeng put in to activate his Body-protection Genuine Vitality, it was impossible for him to block the scarlet wheels’ attack.
The Body-protection Genuine Vitality was instantly broken and the two streaks of scarlet wheels chopped down on his shoulders.
SWISH!
Blood was spilling everywhere and Chu Yunfeng’s flesh was instantly chopped open as the scarlet wheels cut deep into his flesh.
“Ah!” Chu Yunfeng screamed out in pain and retreated hastily.
Half of his shoulder was almost chopped off. Luckily, he survived the attack thanks to the ninth princess’ intervention.
At the same time, the ninth princess let out a muffled moan and a trace of blood was left on her lips as she instantly halted.
The lotus shield and her willpower, as well as her Genuine Vitality, were connected. When the lotus shield was forcefully broken, she had also gotten injured.
“Who’s that?” Xue Yin shouted as he shot a cold glance at the ninth princess.
If not for the ninth princess, that blow would have killed Chu Yunfeng, and the subsequent blows would have instantly smashed him to pieces, making it impossible for him to revive.
Of course, even if Chu Yunfeng was not killed, he would have lost the capability to contend with him.
When Xue Yin saw that the ninth princess was a beautiful gentle lady with a veil, he sneered and said, “How dare you intervene when you’re merely at Lv 5 True Spirit Realm! You are courting death!”
Xue Yin then dashed toward the ninth princess.
The ninth princess’ expression changed. Although her cultivation had improved tremendously in the past few days and had reached Lv 5 True Spirit Realm, she was definitely no match for Xue Yin.
However, the ninth princess did not retreat because the Bloody Darkness Formation surrounded them with limited space.
The ninth princess gritted her teeth and pressed forward instead of retreating. She waved both her hands, unleashing countless flower petals that were sent to Xue Yin.
“A small trick!” Xue Yin scoffed as he attacked with his palm and unleashed a 33-meter-tall Blood Devil’s Great Handprint that crushed all the petals and, following which, struck the ninth princess.
Their strength differed greatly. Even though the ninth princess deployed her Teal Lotus Shield again, it was easily broken.
Her veil was reduced to powder and she was thrown afar as she spat out blood.
“Ninth Sister!” Hong Qingtian cried out in fright and rapidly flew over to catch hold of the ninth princess.
“Ninth Sister, how are you feeling?” Hong Qingtian asked anxiously.
“Pew!”
The ninth princess spat out a mouthful of blood, looking incredibly pale.
“I’m fine!” She clenched her teeth and shook her head firmly.
Ao Wushuang was worried when he saw that the ninth princess was hurt. However, considering the current situation, he did not dare to step up out of fear of being attacked by Xue Yin, which would endanger his own safety.
Xue Yin intended to continue attacking, but when he saw the ninth princess’ appearance, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stopped.
“Very good! What a peerless beauty, if I present her to Prince Blood, he’ll definitely be pleased!”
This lady was at a tender age, with snowy skin and an elegant temperament, like a living fairy from a drawing. If he presented her to Prince Blood, he would definitely be rewarded. And then, he could even be transferred to the Headhall in the Dark Domain.
“Haha! Everyone else must die! But you may live!” Xue Yin laughed and reached out his hand to grab the ninth princess.
Her pretty face was ice cold from agony. Although her cultivation had recently skyrocketed, she was still far from the top-notch geniuses from the big domains and was completely defenseless against them. The enormous difference in their cultivations could not be bridged.
At that moment, Chu Yunfeng was severely injured. His face was as pale as a sheet and he was bleeding profusely as the huge wounds on his shoulders had become linked to his chest.
But Chu Yunfeng’s expression changed when he saw Xue Yin trying to grab the ninth princess. He did not come to her rescue but thought of escaping instead. Although the place was domed by the Bloody Darkness Formation, he still had a way of escaping. It was just that the cost was huge, hence, he was unwilling to use it unnecessarily.
Outside the city, Su Mo, Han Qianze, Wu Sheng, and the rest were hiding in the forest, watching the battle inside the ancient city from afar.
“I’m going to attack!”
As the tide of the battle was clearly leaning toward one side, Su Mo did not want to wait any longer. Any further delay and those people would all be killed by the forces of the Cold-blood Hall.
Even though it would be easier for Su Mo to get his way, he did not wish to see so many people die. After all, his current strength would not allow him to continue devouring.
“Su Mo, are… are you serious about robbing these people?” Wu Sheng asked with a frown.
They had discussed it previously. The four of them wished to leave the place immediately, but only Su Mo refused.
If Su Mo was not leaving, then they also would not leave, therefore, they could only wait there.
But when they heard that Su Mo was planning to attack, they could not help being afraid as they did not understand the basis of Su Mo’s confidence!
“You can all wait here!” Su Mo flew into the sky, leaving the four of them dumbfounded as he headed straight toward the ancient city.
In just a brief moment, Su Mo arrived above the square and descended like a sharp sword.
In the square, the fierce battle was still ongoing. Xue Yin laughed and reached out his hand to grab the ninth princess.
Just at that moment, Su Mo arrived with a sharp wind-breaking sound and caught everyone’s attention.
Xue Yin halted and turned his head.
Those from the Cold-blood Hall were worried that some experts might come, while the talents from various domains hoped for the arrival of an even more powerful talent.
But, when everyone saw that it was only a young man about 16 or 17 years old with a cultivation of only Lv 7 True Spirit Realm, they retracted their gazes.
A martial artist with a cultivation of Lv 7 True Spirit Realm could not change the outcome of this battle.
Ao Wushuang, Hong Qingtian, and the ninth princess were confused and surprised to see Su Mo.
They were surprised to discover that Su Mo had achieved Lv 7 True Spirit Realm, and they were confused because they did not understand why Su Mo had come to such a dangerous place.
Mo Yue, who was putting in his utmost effort to activate the Bloody Darkness Formation, saw Su Mo and instantly shot him a sharp glance.
“All of you can stop fighting. Other than your clothes, leave everything behind!” Su Mo shouted loudly as he gazed around the square.
Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, everyone was stunned. The fierce battle was suddenly in such a dead silence that you could hear a needle drop.
