When the sword and saber images collided, space raged torrentially. Ripples that could be seen with the naked eye exploded out, shaking the land.
BOOM! Only after a moment did an ear-ringing boom sound out. It was followed by the sound of a weapon shattering to pieces. A figure was sent flying back, blood splashing everywhere.
“Father!” Long Chen cried out in fright. The saber in Long Tianxiao’s hand was completely shattered, and countless shards of it were piercing his body, causing his blood to flow out rapidly.
“Oh? You didn’t die? Not bad.”
The white-robed man was a bit astonished to see that Long Tianxiao was still alive. He should have been easily crushed by his previous attack.
“Oh, I see.” The white-robed man came to a sudden realization. “Even despite using your full strength to attack, you still kept some energy in reserve. You retreated by borrowing the explosive force and used that energy to defend.”
That was precisely the advice Long Tianxiao had told Long Chen before. Circulate one hundred percent of your energy, but only use eighty percent in your attack. That would allow you to retreat more freely and give you a path to survival when on the backfoot.
Otherwise, Long Tianxiao would already be a corpse. However, despite that, Long Tianxiao’s current situation was definitely extremely terrible. Having been fighting for so long, that previous attack of his had used up all his remaining spiritual qi.
Furthermore, he was bleeding intensely, and there were even quite a few weapon shards that had pierced his organs. At this time, he had already lost over half of his combat strength.
“But all of this is futile. Ants are only just ants. Don’t try to resist the plans fate has for you. That will only make your deaths all the more painful.”
The white-robed man apathetically shook his head. His sword once more cut across the space, slashing down at Long Tianxiao.
His movement techniques were extremely strange. It was as if he had no weight at all. Wherever his sword was pointed, he would immediately appear there. He had already reached Long Tianxiao as soon as he raised his sword.
Long Tianxiao took a deep breath. As soon as he had realized this person was a sect disciple, he had already foreseen this conclusion.
He glanced at Long Chen and then also at his wife. He smiled slightly. Dying together with his family was also a kind of happiness. Together in the afterlife, they would no longer ever have to part again.
His right hand was incessantly collecting qi. He squeezed out all the remaining spiritual qi in his Dantian. He would fight until the end, but the chances of him bringing his opponent down with him were extremely remote.
“Fuck off!”
BOOM! Long Chen angrily roared and appeared in front of his father, sending his sword to block the white-robed man’s attack.
“You guys retreat!” Long Chen urged Chu Yao and the others. They half-carried Long Tianxiao further away. Long Chen also gave Chu Yao a healing pill for his father.
Long Tianxiao looked at Long Chen’s back. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
