If Tao Yan hadn’t burned his blood essence, then relying on the strength of both sides, Lin Fengtian might have had to deal with him slowly to wear away the black mist little by little. But when he burned his blood essence, everything became easier.

Because after that, as long as the black mist is destroyed enough, it is equivalent to directly attacking Tao Yan’s body.

With the characteristics of the Yellow Springs Sword, this is the easiest way to face this situation!

Tao Yan only understood this at this moment, and couldn’t help but laugh miserably. Unexpectedly, in his whole life, he lost due to this little negligence in the end!

Feeling the Yellow Springs sword energy that wantonly destroyed his vitality, Tao Yan knew that he was really hopeless this time. He simply condensed the remaining black mist out of thin air into a machete with a length of 30 to 40 meters, gave up all defenses, and slashed at Lin Fengtian desperately!

Tao Yan grinned grimly and said, “Lin Fengtian, if you have the ability, take my knife!”

This knife condensed the lifetime skill of a Transcend Tribulation realm expert, and its power is close to the True Immortal realm. Under this slash with the might of the sky, even a sacred mountain might be split in half!

Lin Fengtian didn’t hide, and he couldn’t hide either. He didn’t look at the oncoming slash but cast his eyes on Xiao Ruoyao, his eyes soft.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoyao and Lin Fengtian had a tacit understanding and she smiled slightly at him.

Decades ago, when the two were just Divine Transformation realm cultivators, they also faced a desperate situation like this one. And it was Long Huaiyu, the leader of Tianxin Sect at that time, who sent forth that slash.

At that time, Xiao Ruoyao tried her best to block this strike by burning her blood essence in order to give Lin Fengtian a chance. Although Lin Fengtian was rescued because of this, Xiao Ruoyao was thrown into the Nether Abyss, while he narrowly escaped death.

Lin Fengtian, who escaped from death, thought that Xiao Ruoyao had died, and his heart ached unbearably.

For a long time, Lin Fengtian thought that it would be great if he had the ability at that time…

If he was the one who went up to meet that slash at that time…

If it was not Xiao Ruoyao who was thrown into the Nether Abyss but himself…

It would be great.

Even when he reunited with Xiao Ruoyao later, this thought in Lin Fengtian’s heart never faded away. Because he understood that it was pure luck that Xiao Ruoyao survived.

If such a thing happens again next time, he doesn’t dare to believe in such luck.

So he thought about that slash in his mind countless times, and even practiced how to block it countless times.

Although for an expert like him at such a high realm, it was a waste of time to practice for such a simple blow, but he still held this obsession in his heart.

Now, the sword moves that have been practiced tens of thousands of times finally have a place to use at this moment.

“I practiced countless times, just to stop feeling the despair at that moment,” Lin Fengtian muttered, and met the earth-shattering slash.

The dark yellow sword energy circled above Lin Fengtian’s head, gradually turning into a huge sword energy vortex. The Yellow Springs Sword drove the sword energy vortex, bucking the trend fearlessly!

Although Xiao Ruoyao was not standing beside him at the moment, and there was no need for him to block the slash for Xiao Ruoyao, both Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao knew it in their hearts.

What he wants to block is not the slash, but the despair he faced at that moment decades ago, and the decision to part from life or death.

In a daze, Lin Fengtian seemed to see the figure wearing a water-green shirt and holding an azure blue long sword. Although weak and slender, she faced the destructive slash without hesitation like a moth flying to a flame.

She looked at him with a smile, tenderness in her eyes. Her lips moved as if she was saying something. At this moment, Lin Fengtian suddenly realized that the doubts that had lingered in his heart for decades were finally answered.

He murmured, “It turned out that what she said at that time was: ‘Live, fool.'”

The next moment, the Yellow Springs sword energy finally collided head-on with the black mist slash!

BOOOM!!

The momentum of the collision was earth-shattering, and the aftermath spread for hundreds of miles. The people in Wuling City couldn’t even hear any sound at that moment!

It’s not that there is no sound, but that the sound is too loud for the ears to accept.

Xiao Ruoyao, Leng Lingyue, and Feng Shao, who were closest to the center of the battlefield, had the most intuitive feeling of the power of this strike.

If Leng Lingyue hadn’t helped him block most of the residual power, Feng Shao, who had already lost the support of the formation, would have been blown away by the shock alone.

Xiao Ruoyao stared blankly at Lin Fengtian’s direction, her eyes glistening with tears.

At this time, Leng Lingyue sighed faintly, “This time, he should really come out.”

Xiao Ruoyao nodded with a smile, a look of relief on her face, “That incident was a hurdle he could never overcome. For so many years, he has been looking for a chance to prove that he can protect me. But it actually is not about proving it to me, but proving it to himself. This time, he finally found this opportunity!”

A faint smile appeared on Leng Lingyue’s face, “Is this a man’s obsession with protecting the one he loves?”
