283 Seventh Level Half-Saint, Not Powerful

Seeing that Liu Hongshan did not move, the black figure in the sky seemed to be a little angry. He raised his head and let out a hoarse cry like an eagle. Then, he dove towards the ground like an arrow leaving the bow!

Under the violent pressure, Liu Hongshan felt as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his shoulder. His feet sank into the ground.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

The flying sand and stones cut through the turbid air.

!!
The pitch-black figure instantly arrived dozens of feet away from the ground. The pitch-black fog around him was blown back by the wind, revealing Lin Ran’s ferocious face.

He held the heavy sword that was as tall as a person in his hand. It was so light in his hand that it was as if it weighed nothing. The thick sword slashed through the air and went straight for Liu Hongshan. Wherever it touched, the sand and stones were instantly crushed into powder!

The distance between the two of them was still rapidly decreasing.

Finally, just as the thick blade of the heavy sword was reflected in Liu Hongshan’s pupils, the array formation was completed. An extremely faint buzzing sounded in the air, like an insect flapping its wings, or like all the air was trembling at an extremely high frequency.

A destructive hurricane rose from the ground. Liu Hongshan was instantly sent flying hundreds of feet away by the aftershock. As for the target of the hurricane, Lin Ran, he was directly sent flying hundreds of feet into the sky!

As the hurricane swept past, Lin Ran woke up from his extreme anger as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over his head in winter.

He could no longer remember what had happened just now. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was in the sky. He was only stunned for a moment before he rode the Yin-Yang Sword. At the same time, with a thought, he put the heavy sword back into the Divine Sword Technique Manual.

As he narrowed his eyes and sized up the situation on the ground, Lin Ran began to recall what had just happened—

“First, Wang Dashan and the others tried to rob me. After I dealt with them, Liu Hongshan appeared with Xiao Shun and the others.”

“Why are Xiao Shun and the others here? Oh, right, they’re here to bid farewell and apologize because they’re about to be sent to the Heavenly Saint Realm to cause trouble. Liu Hongshan doesn’t want too many people to know about this, so he wants to kill Ye Jin to silence her… By the way, where’s Ye Jin?”

As the memories gradually came back to him, Lin Ran didn’t have time to think about why he appeared in the sky. His figure flashed a few times and he arrived beside the bushes where Ye Jin was hiding.

After pushing aside the bushes, Ye Jin was still hiding inside. Although she was unconscious, it didn’t look like she was seriously injured.

Lin Ran looked around and realized that there were a few huge pits on the ground. However, he didn’t see Liu Hongshan. He didn’t even see Xiao Shun and the others. He didn’t know if Liu Hongshan had escaped or was hiding somewhere.

However, no matter what, he could not stay here for long.

Then, while Ye Jin was unconscious, Lin Ran carried her out of the bushes and rode the Yin-Yang Sword towards Mount Xianyong.

Five minutes after Lin Ran left, in a pit hundreds of feet away, a hand suddenly reached out of it. It grabbed the edge of the pit and slowly pulled its body up.

“Phew—Phew—Phew—”

Liu Hongshan took a dozen deep breaths before he finally recovered from the shock. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the blue sky, his eyes flickering as he pondered about something.

After resting for a while, Liu Hongshan walked towards the “battlefield” where he clashed with Lin Rna.

On the gravel-covered wilderness, there were six deep pits. Liu Hongshan scanned them with his divine sense and realized that the people inside were still breathing. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

After a long time, Liu Hongshan finally dug out the six people and put them in a row on the ground. Just as he was about to examine them carefully, a breeze suddenly blew past him. He turned around and met Xuan Wushang’s malicious eyes.

“What’s going on?”

Xuan Wushang frowned slightly and asked coldly. Although he was still dressed in white, with his malicious expression, he looked like a tyrant who was about to fly into a rage at any moment.

“Isn’t it all your fault?”

Liu Hongshan sneered and turned to look at Xuan Wushang without hiding anything. He said coldly in a questioning tone, “Did you already know that Black Shadow Saber can activate the killing intent in his heart?”

“If you complete my plan properly, this scene will happen in the Heavenly Saint Dynasty,” Xuan Wushang said indifferently.

Although he did not answer Liu Hongshan’s question directly, the meaning in his reply was basically equivalent to yes.

Liu Hongshan’s expression instantly darkened. “Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“Why should I tell you?”

Xuan Wushang chuckled and asked in return, his eyes filled with disdain, as if this was an extremely childish question. “If you had completed my plan properly, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

“You!”

Liu Hongshan widened his eyes as if he was about to fly into a rage, but in the end, he held back. He suddenly turned around and stopped looking at Xuan Wushang. “He lost control just now, so I could only exert all my strength.”

Xuan Wushang fell silent as if he was thinking. After a few minutes, he said, “Leave him alone for the next few days. I have something for you to do.”

“Another escort?”

Liu Hongshan asked in return. Then, he pointed at Xiao Shun and the others on the ground. “These people will need to recuperate for at least half a year. I’ll send the second team over first. Hurry up and find a few more people.”

“What second team?” Xuan Wushang asked with puzzlement.

Liu Hongshan couldn’t help but turn to glare at him. “Didn’t you say that you want to send 60 people to infiltrate the Heavenly Saint Dynasty?”

“Oh, that’s just a way to force Lin Ran to go back.”

Xuan Wushang smiled. His malicious gaze landed on Xiao Shun and the others, and he did not hide the disdain in his eyes. “They didn’t live up to my expectations. It seems like I have to let Liu Ruxi speed up!”

Hearing Xuan Wushang’s last sentence, Liu Hongshan suddenly realized that not only were Xiao Shun and the others sacrifices, but even he was only a tool to Xuan Wushang. The anger he had just suppressed instantly surged and he grabbed Xuan Wushang’s collar tightly!

“Do you know that I almost died at his hands?”

Liu Hongshan glared at Xuan Wushang and shouted sternly, “If you didn’t tell me that I have to keep him alive at all costs, would I have to take such a risk?!”

“That’s your problem for being too weak.”

Xuan Wushang chuckled. To the furious Liu Hongshan, saying that he was weak was no different from adding fuel to the fire!

“I think you really want to die!”

Liu Hongshan roared and was about to attack when he suddenly felt his hand lighten. When he looked down, his expression changed drastically. He saw that the hand that was grabbing Xuan Wushang’s collar had been cut off from his wrist at some point.
