Just when the black-clothed man was feeling uneasy, a voice suddenly resounded. “The third sword of the Nine Firmament Swords, Yun Yang.” A cloud of swords suddenly flew out from behind Ye Qingcheng and covered the man in black.

‘Kacha, kacha’ sounds rang out as if something had been cut open. The sword cloud enveloped the black-clothed man.

Ye Qingcheng experienced the sensation of her waist ensconced within a large hand, subsequently descending into the comfort of a tender embrace. When she turned around to look, she found that the person hugging her waist was none other than Qin Lu.

She and the seven elders had been fighting this black-robed man for so long, but he hadn’t made a move; it turned out that he was waiting for an opportunity. The sword just now seemed to be very strong, and at such a close distance, even if the black-clothed man was not killed, he would definitely be injured.

When the seven elders saw that Qin Lu had suddenly appeared to save Ye Qingcheng, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xiao Gu spoke with an excited expression. “Father, you’re finally here. If you had not come, Mother would have been bullied again.”

“Little Gu, Father still had some things to do, so he came late.” Just as Qin Lu was speaking, the sword cloud he released was suddenly shattered by a powerful force.

The black-clothed man’s figure was revealed once again with more than ten wounds on his body, and blood was flowing out of his robe, no longer as unscathed as before. Qin Lu’s sword actually managed to injure him.

It was an enemy; Ye Qingcheng and the seven elders had been continuously attacking for so long without being able to injure him in the slightest. In the end, Qin Land suddenly appeared and injured him with a single sword strike. Furthermore, he was only in the Nascent Soul Realm; this was simply too stupefying.

However, what they did not know was that this was the strongest sword move that Qin Lu could currently use. This move was not only a sword technique, but it also contained sword intent.

If the attack Qin Lu launched was not enhanced with sword intent, it wouldn’t have been able to hurt the black-clothed man at all. The black-robed man did not think that an Out of Body realm cultivator like him would actually be injured by a Nascent Soul realm early-stage cultivator.

Although they couldn’t see his expression, the murderous look in his eyes told everyone how furious he was. Sensing that he was infuriated, Qin Lu’s face changed. “Qingcheng, back off a little. I will deal with him.”

“Qin Lu, be careful.” Ye Qingcheng’s face was filled with worry. If it had been a battle between cultivators with the same cultivation realm, she would not have been worried at all. However, his enemy this time was an Out of Body realm cultivator!Part of the reason why Qin Lu’s sword could injure him and land on him was because of carelessness, so the following battle would probably be even more difficult.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Don’t forget, in this world, you are the only one who can kill me!”

“Qin Lu, can’t you fight properly and be more serious!? We’re facing an enemy now.” This guy was still flirting with her even though they were in such a dangerous situation.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a little clown. It won’t affect our romance!”

“Hmph, I’m ignoring you.” Ye Qingcheng shyly glared at Qin Lu and retreated. She knew very well that, in her current state, she could no longer fight in a battle of this level. She would only be a burden if she stayed.

Finding that Qin Lu was still in the mood to flirt with Ye Qingcheng, the seven elders were helpless. After knowing each other for so long, they knew that Qin Lu would sometimes be indecent, especially when it came to Ye Qingcheng.

However, he was currently facing a powerful enemy, not to mention an Out of Body realm expert at that. Couldn’t he pay more attention to his surroundings? With this short episodic scene ending, the seven elders quickly surrounded the black clothed man, and the battle became eight against one, but now the eight person have been replaced by Qin Lu.

The battle began once again.

Although the black-clothed man was injured, he was still very strong; even if it was one against eight, he wasn’t afraid. If it were not for the threat of the attack posed to him by Qin Lu, he could have been absolutely fearless.

The battle continued for half an incense stick’s worth of time before Qin Lu suddenly shouted. “Elders, all of you back off a little. I will deal with him.

Hearing Qin Lu instruct them to retreat, the seven elders were stunned, but they didn’t say anything. After all, among the people present, only Qin Lu had the ability to hurt him.

They thought that he told them to retreat, maybe because Qin Lu had an even more powerful sword attack he could use to deal with this black-clothed man. Soon, the seven elders quickly retreated.

One against eight was somewhat strenuous. Now that Qin Lu had actually ordered seven people to retreat, a trace of surprise appeared on the black-clothed man’s face, and he also felt that Qin Lu, this brat, was a bit arrogant. A kid in the early Nascent Soul stage actually dared to fight him alone, but this was also good.Qin Lu was the strongest person in the Holy Maiden Sect, and as long as he defeated him, no one would be able to stop him after that. He would then be able to capture Ye Qingcheng and snatch away the little beast.

Just as this old man in black was calculating in his heart, he saw Qin Lu put away the spirit sword in his hand and directly take out the Sea God’s Halberd. When Qin Lu took out this divine weapon, the black-clothed man’s eyes widened, his pupils shrank, and his face showed a grieved expression.

Seeing Qin Lu take out this divine weapon, the seven elders and Ye Qingcheng finally understood why he told everyone to retreat. It turned out that he was planning to make a big move.

This artifact had been in the Holy Maiden Sect for many years, and no one had ever been able to move it; only Qin Lu was able to use it.

After taking the divine weapon out, Qin Lu suddenly swung it, and the Sea God’s Halberd smashed towards the black-clothed man.

‘Uh…What kind of attack is this?’ The black-clothed man was puzzled. Before he could think about it, Qin Lu’s divine weapon was already in front of him. The black-robed man didn’t dare be careless. He moved horizontally, wanting to block the halberd.

However, when his spear came into contact with the halberd, it was immediately bent, and his entire body was pressed downward.

“F*ck, what kind of weapon is this? How can it be so powerful? No, it doesn’t seem to be the strength of this weapon, but the weight of it.”

“Motherf*cker, what a heavy weapon! How can this brat use this? It’s too abnormal.” Knowing that the halberd was too heavy, the black-robed man punched the halberd.

Then, using the force of the impact, he was able to retreat and quickly put some distance between them. When he moved backwards about several hundred feet, the Sea God’s Halberd once again flew back into Qin Land’s hands.

Qin Lu waved the Sea God’s Halberd, and a blue divine light directly illuminated the surroundings. Everyone was stunned when the divine light emerged because it didn’t seem to have any dangerous aura. Instead, it was exceptionally gentle.

The black-robed man sensed that the blue light was coming towards him. He was a little confused about it, but he didn’t dare be careless. He hurriedly circulated his spiritual qi to resist.

Soon, the blue light brushed past. The black-clothed man’s face instantly froze. This was because he had been frozen in place by a strange force.

What was going on? Could it be that some mysterious expert had made a move? That was impossible. If a mysterious expert arrived, how could he not have noticed it?

Just as the black-robed man panicked, Qin Lu’s Divine Halberd danced once again. “Divine skill, never to return.” In an instant, an overbearing force rushed towards the black-robed man.

Not far away, the seven elders of the Holy Maiden Sect and Ye Qingcheng were watching the battle. They secretly prayed that Qin Lu’s move would hit the mark. If such a powerful move landed on that man, he would definitely be severely injured or even killed.

Sensing this powerful attack, the black-clothed man’s eyes were filled with fear.
