Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564: He Realized His Mistake
Facing Wei Xiaotian’s dominion greatly reduced, but still deadly Dragon Breaking Sword Slash, Han Yan neither blocked nor avoided it, her offensive stance completely unchanged.
Could it be she intends to perish together with him? Wei Xiaotian never expected Han Yan’s character to be so fierce, willing to perish together rather than retreat even a step.
Wei Xiaotian suddenly felt a headache. He thought that with his own strength, Han Yan’s sword would at best severely injure him but would definitely not kill him, and her own life would certainly be in peril; saying they would perish together, she would certainly perish, yet he most likely would not.
But the problem is, he indeed had concerns, and didn’t dare kill Han Yan!
This damn girl, if you don’t value your own life, fine, but don’t drag me down with you! In order to gain the Holy Master’s favor, Wei Xiaotian had been diligently cultivating for years, not wishing for his future to be ruined like this. Thinking this way, he instinctively pulled back some of his Holy Saint Gang Qi, making the already not so strong sword power weaken further.
But soon, he realized he was wrong.
Just as his Sword Light landed on Han Yan, a light resembling glazed, illusionary colors burst from Han Yan’s body!
The Glazed Glass Holy Robe, Star Moon Battle Crown, Netherworld God Blood Shield, Cangxuan Cloud Silk once again appeared on Han Yan’s body, and the Heavenly Secret Mirror protecting her Heart Meridian at her chest shone with divine light.
"Boom!" His domineering Dragon Breaking Sword Slash fell on Han Yan’s body but seemed to hit an invisible gas shield. The colorful gas group exploded fiercely, shaking Wei Xiaotian’s arm numb and his internal organs surging, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
And Han Yan herself, naturally, did not suffer the heavy injury he imagined, nor did she perish on the spot. Besides a slightly pale face, almost no unusual sign could be noticed.
Meanwhile, Han Yan’s relentless sword, like a falling meteor, also landed on him.
"Damn, how did I forget Han Yan also has protective divine artifacts?" Wei Xiaotian almost gave himself a hard slap.
According to the information obtained, he knew Han Yan had long acquired the Cangxuan Cloud Silk, but it was said to be refined by Master Pang Dezong and hadn’t been completed. Holy Court Members never regard secular experts seriously, so he naturally didn’t take this so-called unfinished divine artifact seriously, even scoffing at it.
But now, he realized he was wrong, so wrong!
His chest shook, and Wei Xiaotian was heavily sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood in midair.
This outcome was equally unexpected for Han Yan. She didn’t anticipate that under the Heavenly Secret Mirror’s guidance, these protective divine artifacts would repair to such an extent.
Wei Xiaotian’s Dragon Breaking Sword Slash’s dominion was significantly weakened by Yue Fanchen’s Saint Swordsmanship; its power was already reduced. With his scruples and retracting some Holy Saint Gang Qi, its power further diminished, how could it break through the defenses of these protective divine artifacts?
However, Han Yan was actually not as at ease as Wei Xiaotian perceived; within her internal organs was also overwhelming turbulence, and she still suffered non-trivial internal injuries, just didn’t spit blood.
This is understandable; even though they are divine artifacts, their exerted power is still related to her own cultivation. In a close match, they can play a pivotal role in shifting tides, but if the gap is too large, the effect is significantly reduced. Otherwise, relying on a divine artifact alone to stop gods and kill gods, stop Buddhas and kill Buddhas, and kill all unbeatable opponents, everyone wouldn’t need to painstakingly cultivate and would all learn alchemy and sword casting to create divine artifacts instead.
Not minding her own injuries, not even taking an Elixir, Han Yan leapt up, pursuing Wei Xiaotian.
Han Yan understood better than anyone else the reason: attack while he’s weak.
Moreover, although Wei Xiaotian was heavily injured, she was also injured, and the Glazed Glass Holy Robe and Netherworld God Blood Shield, as well as other protective divine artifacts, like the Cangxuan Cloud Silk, had cooldown times and couldn’t be used again shortly. If she couldn’t end the fight quickly and finish it while Wei Xiaotian was injured, once he recovered, she was still bound to lose.
As for Yue Fanchen, who was already quite lacking in strength and didn’t have protective divine artifacts like her, was affected by Wei Xiaotian’s earlier sword, already spitting blood and his face pale. Though he suppressed his injuries with a longsword in hand and followed up, from his unsteady steps, it was evident he had no fighting capability left.
"Han Yan, I still underestimated you, but do you think you two can hurt me!" Wei Xiaotian shouted in fury.
Initially thinking that without Huayue and others present, dealing with just Han Yan would be a piece of cake; how could he have known that he would be heavily injured by her again in battle, and looking at Han Yan’s relentless and relentless attack as if to beat a drowning dog — how could he not be angry?
A dignified Sword Saint expert, one of the Five Great Saints, being bullied once by a Great Sword Master Realm cultivator was one thing, coming out of a second encounter without any advantage was troublesome enough. If he really lost again today, he wouldn’t need to face anyone anymore.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the blood rushing to his throat, Wei Xiaotian forcibly wielded Qi, making the long sword glisten with cold light, and the dominating sword power of Dragon Breaking Sword Slash manifested once again.
Han Yan’s pupils contracted sharply; truly, no wonder he’s a Saint. Even though relying on her set of protective divine artifacts and Yue Fanchen’s Saint Swordsmanship assistance to gain the upper hand, the heavily injured Wei Xiaotian was still not someone she could defeat, considering she was also injured, just not as evidently as him.
However, knowing the gap existed, Han Yan still couldn’t give up at this time, gritting her teeth and slashing with all her might.
"The two of them aren’t enough, how about adding me!" At this moment, a cold laugh sounded from behind Wei Xiaotian.
Along with the cold laugh, a strange Sword Light emerged.
Unlike the usual Sword Masters, whose attacks came with dazzling, imposing Sword Light, this strike was shrouded in a layer of black mist, full of darkness and the aura of death.
Like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, never showing itself, but once it did, it was a fatal strike.
Zhao Sinin! This person appeared so suddenly that Han Yan didn’t even have time to clearly see his face, but just by his voice, Han Yan knew who it was.
Wei Xiaotian evidently also hadn’t detected his presence. Only when Zhao Sinin’s merciless laughter rang behind him did he suddenly awaken, instinctively turning his longsword to guard behind himself.
This is also everyone’s instinct, despite knowing Han Yan’s sword up front was powerful, the sense of threat always felt greater from a sword attacking from behind.
"Clang!" Sparks flew as Zhao Sinin’s entire body shuddered, stumbling backward, but simultaneously, Han Yan’s Nine Heavens Star Fall and Yue Fanchen’s Saint Swordsmanship fell again on Wei Xiao’s body.
