Chapter 28

"Master Lin, I will help you!" Seeing Lin Zhiyun at a disadvantage, Shen Dachuang roared and threw a punch.

Spiritual energy took form, transforming into a fierce tiger in mid-air, roaring as it charged toward Xiao Wenjian, who was facing Lin Zhiyun.

Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and with a single punch, easily dispersed the spiritual tiger.

"Damn you again!" Seeing Old Black intervene, Shen Dachuang couldn't help but curse, but he was helpless.

Four Tianlun experts began to fight in pairs.

Shen Dachuang and Old Black, fighting bare-handed, made a tremendous noise, their released spiritual energy causing trees to break and tiles to fly in the courtyard.

On Lin Zhiyun's side, the two wielded divine weapons, each sword strike appearing light and casual, but the danger far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

The situation was not good!

Shen Dachuang, affected by his injuries, was clearly in poor condition, and Lin Zhiyun was completely outmatched by Xiao Wenjian in swordsmanship.

Zhong Wen, observing the obviously suppressed Piaohua Palace side, frowned, deep in thought about how to turn the tide.

"Doctor Zhong, be careful!" Suddenly, Shangguan Mingyue's warning voice came from behind.

Coming to his senses, he noticed a black sphere flying toward him, emitting faint spiritual energy fluctuations.

It was the culprit that had once caused Shangguan Junyi's spiritual energy to go out of control: the Spirit Thunder!

Dantai Jin, as his name suggested, was cautious. As a Dilun expert, he was unwilling to risk personal danger even when ambushing a Renlun realm youth, and shamelessly used a hidden weapon.

At this moment, Yin Ning'er and the little girl were standing on either side of Zhong Wen. If the Spirit Thunder exploded, the two Piaohua Palace disciples would surely be reduced to dust, and Lin Zhiyun would inevitably lose her composure.

At the same time, Qi Wu, who had already retreated, suddenly moved, swiftly attacking Shangguan Mingyue, who was some distance away from Zhong Wen and the others.

Dantai Jin had heard from his subordinates that there might be another Tianlun expert from the Shangguan family on Qingfeng Mountain, so he gave Qi Wu a nod, instructing him to take advantage of the chaos to capture Shangguan Mingyue. If he could hold the Shangguan family's young lady hostage, the Tianlun expert would likely hesitate to act rashly.

His plan was meticulously laid out, a vast net already covering the entire Qingfeng Mountain. This was the best time for him to pull the strings and close the net.

The corners of Dantai Jin's mouth curled up, and a confident expression appeared on his face, as if he only needed a feather fan and a silk headband to match his supreme strategic wisdom.

Seeing the Spirit Thunder flying toward him, a flash of inspiration crossed Zhong Wen's mind, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

If Dantai Jin himself had attacked, he would have been helpless, but it was just a hidden weapon from a distance...

Your caution is my opportunity.

Flower Shift!

Zhong Wen extended his hand and lightly flicked, using this terrifying Star Spirit-level spiritual technique.

As the Spirit Thunder flew to Zhong Wen, it suddenly spun and changed direction, shooting toward Qi Wu behind Zhong Wen at an unexpected angle.

Qi Wu, focused entirely on Shangguan Mingyue, did not expect a hidden weapon to come from the side and instinctively extended his right hand to block it.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion echoed through the sky, a powerful wave of spiritual energy enveloping Qi Wu, instantly engulfing him in a blinding light. Even the four Tianlun experts who were fighting stopped, looking toward the direction of the explosion.

"Ah!!!"

Behind the light, a piercing scream echoed.

A moment later, the intense light gradually dimmed, and the spiritual mist slowly dissipated, revealing Qi Wu's bloodied, mangled corpse on the ground.

The scene was extremely bloody, and Yin Ning'er couldn't help but cover the little girl's eyes, fearing that it would leave a bad impression on her young mind.

"Qi Wu!" Dantai Jin's voice trembled, his hands tightly clenched, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Thus, all seven of his Dilun subordinates had been killed in the conflict with Piaohua Palace, without a single survivor.

"I will tear you apart, limb by limb!" Turning to Zhong Wen, Dantai Jin clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with venomous hatred.

Seeing Dantai Jin, who had previously appeared confident, suddenly lose his composure, Xiao Wenjian frowned, his opinion of him dropping.

"Master, are you alright? Are you hurt? You mustn't be in any danger! If anything happens to you, what will I do?" Ignoring Dantai Jin's threats, Zhong Wen turned and ran to Lin Zhiyun, surprising everyone by hugging the Piaohua Palace Master and wailing, "Master, you are too kind. Why show mercy to such a despicable person and not use your ultimate move?"

Regardless of how Shangguan Mingyue and Liu Qiqi, among others, were shocked by Zhong Wen's exaggerated performance, Lin Zhiyun, who had maintained her purity for over twenty years, was both embarrassed and angry, instinctively wanting to use her spiritual energy to push him away.

But then Zhong Wen winked at her, and the hand that was behind her quietly moved to the top of her head, while he continued to cry, "Sister, if you don't use that move, Piaohua Palace will be completely destroyed!"

Lin Zhiyun was taken aback, about to ask what "that move" was, when she suddenly felt a flood of information surge into her mind. In just a few moments, a profound sword technique called "The Fatal Strike" appeared in her consciousness, as if she had practiced it for decades, deeply ingrained and fully mastered.

What kind of divine skill is this!

She stared at Zhong Wen, speechless, almost forgetting that she was in the middle of a battle.

"Sister, quickly take a 'Yuan Recovery Pill' to restore some strength." Seeing her dazed, Zhong Wen took the opportunity to slip a 'Heavenly Recovery Pill' into her mouth, but lied, saying it was a 'Yuan Recovery Pill,' "Let that 'Sword Master' see the true skills of Piaohua Palace!"

The pill entered her mouth, and a rich fragrance spread through her lips and teeth. Lin Zhiyun instantly regained her senses, feeling a warm flow of energy spread through her body, rapidly healing the injuries caused by Xiao Wenjian's invincible sword qi.

This is definitely not a Yuan Recovery Pill!

Lin Zhiyun immediately recognized the preciousness of the pill, and her gaze toward Zhong Wen became more complex.

Having seen Zhong Wen's abilities several times, even if she suspected he had ulterior motives, she couldn't understand what a small Piaohua Palace could offer him with his abilities.

Sigh, I owe him too much. As long as he doesn't harm the girls, I will try to meet any future demands he has.

Lin Zhiyun shook her head, temporarily pushing aside her doubts.

She held her left hand behind her back and raised the Moon Sword in her right hand at an angle. This sword technique, which she had repeatedly practiced in her mind, seemed to be infinitely profound, and even helped her improve her own sword skills when she reversed it.

Zhong Wen had obediently retreated to the side, still maintaining a heart-wrenching appearance. Since winning the "On the Actor's Self-Cultivation" in a lottery, he felt his acting skills had greatly improved, and he regretted that there were no Oscars in this world, completely unaware of how awkward his performance had been.

After Lin Zhiyun showed suspicion toward him a few days ago, Zhong Wen had planned to remain low-key and gradually resolve the goddess's doubts, but he never expected that the second-ranked hero of the Great Qian, Xiao Wenjian, would come to challenge. To protect Piaohua Palace, he had no choice but to reveal his trump card again.

"Are you done?" Xiao Wenjian, who despised sneak attacks, had been watching Zhong Wen's performance impatiently and now said, "Please, let's begin."

Lin Zhiyun's eyes changed, and she raised her right hand to her abdomen, the long sword slightly tilted outward.

"Huh?" Xiao Wenjian felt that Lin Zhiyun seemed to have transformed, her aura completely different from before, and she subtly posed a threat to him.

Proud as he was, he would not back down.

The two Tianlun experts almost simultaneously thrust their divine swords!
