Chapter 393: Combined Attack
Seeing this, Huangfu Yan was surprised.
Although she hadn’t used all her strength, the previous attack was not something that a peak core formation realm cultivator could handle.
However, her surprise was only momentary.
A moment later, she condensed her qi and a dozen water arrows flew towards the two.
’Does she think we are easy to bully?’ Jiang Yue thought as a pipa appeared in his arms.
Soon after, an aggressive melody resounded in the air and an invisible wave rushed towards Huangfu Yan.
With her eyes, Huangfu Yan couldn’t see the wave.
However, she was a nascent soul realm cultivator and a fifth-level formation master.
Although she couldn’t see the wave, her soul could sense it and she immediately retreated to the left.
Unfortunately, her retreat was not fast enough and the wave drilled into her head from between her eyes.
A moment later, a scream tore from her throat, causing everyone’s hair to stand on end.
At the same time, Yu Nianzhen’s sword intent barrier rebounded Huangfu Yan’s attack and the dozen water arrows sunk into her body.
"I will kill you." Huangfu Yan screamed after she resolved Jiang Yue’s soul attack.
At this time, her indifferent eyes had turned red and held an unconcealed trace of madness.
"Senior, if you are determined to kill us, we will accompany you to the end." Jiang Yue said with a cold voice.
"Azhen..."
"Mmmm."
After nodding, Yu Nianzhen drew a circle with his sword and Huangfu Yan was encompassed in his sword domain world.
Following that, Jiang Yue began to play his pipa but no sound was heard in the surroundings.
However, in the sword world, a sorrowful melody echoed from every inch of the space and drilled into Huangfu Yan’s mind.
Standing in the middle of the sword world, Huangfu Yan suddenly felt extremely sad.
Her mood became pessimistic and she felt extremely lonely.
In her depressed mind, she felt that there was no light in the world and she was alone in a dark world.
At the same time, she felt that the strength in her body was leaking away and she was slowly becoming powerless.
"No, this is an illusion." She muttered and her eyes cleared for a moment.
However, Jiang Yue’s soul was already at the peak of the fifth level.
Combined with the fact that she was injured, Huangfu Yan could only mount a momentary struggle before her mind succumbed to the illusion.
After a few breaths, she fell to the ground and began to cry.
A moment later, she curled into the fetal position and her eyes turned lifeless.
At this time, a sword formation formed above her body.
The formation had twelve swords and each sword had the power of a peak-level silver-rank weapon.
When the power of the swords came together, it was comparable to the full-strength blow of an early-stage nascent soul realm cultivator.
"This..., do they mean to kill a nascent soul realm cultivator?" Someone suddenly asked.
Until this moment, everyone was just watching a good show.
They felt Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen were too arrogant to compete with a nascent soul realm cultivator.
However, the turn of events left everyone speechless.
When they finally came to, they realised that two core formation realm cultivators were about to kill a nascent soul realm ancestor.
"Ancestor Huangfu is the ancestor of the Huangfu family in the Great Artisan region. If they do this, aren’t they afraid they will be retaliated?"
"If they can kill a nascent soul realm ancestor, how can they be afraid of the Huangfu family?"
"If we stand here to watch the show, will we be implicated?"
After the person spoke, everyone became tense.
Some escaped right away but those with a powerful background still continued to watch the show.
"Why should I be afraid? I am not the one who killed her. If the Huangfu family dares to take issue with me, my Guan family is not vegetarian." Someone.
Hearing this, several others said similar words and continued to watch the fight.
"Two seniors, quickly release senior Huangfu." One of the female cultivators saved by Huangfu Yan shouted.
However, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue ignored her.
Although they were both expressionless, they were actually not calm.
Controlling a nascent soul realm cultivator, especially one with strong soul power was extremely difficult.
At the moment, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue were at the end of their ropes and didn’t have the energy to deal with anything else.
"Why hasn’t the Huangfu family come to save their ancestor?" Someone asked in a whisper.
"I don’t think they have arrived." Another answered and everyone remembered that Huangfu Yan came alone.
"Everyone, let’s attack together to save senior Huangfu." A female cultivator shouted.
Unfortunately, only a few female cultivators were willing to wade into the muddy waters.
As for the male cultivators, they couldn’t be bothered.
After all, Huangfu Yan was an unreasonable woman.
Even if they saved her, they may die under her hands in the future.
"Are you ready?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked.
"I need two breaths." Yu Nianzhen said and Jiang Yue nodded.
Two breaths later, the sword formation lit up and a huge sword appeared in its centre.
Just when Yu Nianzhen was about to drop the sword on Huangfu Yan, a gentle voice reached their ears.
"Two juniors, I wonder if you can let fellow Daoist Huangfu go?" The male voice asked.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen tensed.
Although the voice was gentle, both felt dangerous.
Without hearing an explicit order, both knew the words weren’t a request.
If they didn’t release Huangfu Yan, the person would most definitely take action against them.
"Two juniors, fellow Daoist Huangfu is a fifth-level formation master. If you can give this face, everyone will be grateful."
At this, everyone seemed to remember the importance of a fifth-level formation master in the current situation.
Immediately, the atmosphere tensed and the two knew that the general trend had shifted.
In the current atmosphere, killing Huangfu Yan was the most direct way to become the public enemy.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen didn’t have the capital to become the public enemy.
Realising this, they looked at each other and saw the bitterness in the other’s eyes.
However, their fists were not hard enough and they could only take the offered steps to climb down.
"For the sake of everyone, our Taoist couple will let this matter go for the time being." Jiang Yue said while looking at the man.
As expected, the man was a nascent soul realm cultivator.
With his cultivation, Jiang Yue couldn’t tell the person’s level but his qi presence was stronger than Huangfu Yan and the female ancestor who previously tried to force him to deduce the tomb formation.
’Is he at the late stage or peak stage of the nascent soul realm?’ Jiang Yue wondered.
’Master Yang, when will you arrive? At this rate, won’t we be bullied to death before our backup arrives?’ He mourned with a frown on his lips.
Sensing his lover’s emotions, Yu Nianzhen reached out and took Jiang Yue’s hand.
After that, he turned to the nascent soul ancestor and narrowed his eyes.
"I hope Senior can restrain formation master Huangfu and not let her bother us." Yu Nianzhen said and the man couldn’t help but be surprised.
Although Yu Nianzhen wasn’t explicit, the man heard the threat.
’Interesting.’ He thought and his eyes narrowed.
This was the first time he was threatened by a junior and he felt novel.
For a moment, he even regretted interfering with the fight. If he hadn’t, maybe he would have seen something extraordinary.
However, he soon put away his regret.
After all, Huangfu Yan was a fifth-level formation master.
From what he observed of the tomb, every fifth-level formation master was indispensable.
If he allowed Huangfu Yan to be killed at this point, entering the tomb would become much more difficult.
"The two juniors can rest assured, fellow Daoist Huangfu won’t bother you until the formation is broken."
"We understand." Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen took back his sword world.
When the sword world disappeared, Huangfu Yan regained her mind.
Right after, her eyes turned extremely cold and a horrifying killing intent spread from her body.
Feeling the killing intent, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen became more alert.
Although they promised not to do anything to the woman, they would never allow themselves to fall into danger.
If Huangfu Yan persisted in trying to kill them, the two of them would definitely strike first!
’Worst scenario, we will retreat into our ancient palace and wait for master to arrive.’ Jiang Yue thought and looked at Yu Nianzhen.
Seeing the look, Yu Nianzhen understood Jiang Yue’s thoughts and nodded.
However, the gentle-voiced man was still a little reliable.
"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, I hope you can take a step back and let this matter go." The man said with a dangerous edge in his voice.
As if she had noticed the person for the first time, Huangfu Yan turned pale and took a step back.
"Flowing Wind master." She muttered.
