Chapter 2319: Chapter 2320: Rescue

"Damn."

Lin Chen’s heart sank. He indeed saw Lu Kang’s attack coming, but seeing was one thing; he did not have enough time to react.

His speed was already less than Lu Kang’s, and with this attack surging, Lu Kang seized the opportunity to strike at Lin Chen’s body.

He aimed precisely for Lin Chen’s momentary pause.

Lin Chen struggled to turn his body sideways while simultaneously wielding the Tianyan Ancient Sword, its blade bursting into waves of Spiritual Energy that partially dispelled the black miasma, giving Lin Chen a chance to retract it.

Though Lin Chen’s reaction was not slow, he was still half a step behind Lu Kang. Lu Kang’s fist, like a meteor dashing down, scorched the air, making his arm glow a faint red.

Lin Chen’s clothes quickly tore open, burning a gaping hole.

His eyes widened, channeling the Spiritual Energy within his Dantian toward his own waist and abdomen.

"Hmph, futile resistance!"

Lu Kang sneered.

He had to admit, Lin Chen’s power had indeed grown quickly, but despite that, the gap remained. Even though Lu Kang could not use Spiritual Energy, brute force could overcome skill, and the momentum from this punch was far beyond what Lin Chen could withstand.

Sure enough, the barrier formed by Spiritual Energy that Lin Chen accumulated quickly began to take shape, but unfortunately, Lu Kang’s assault was too fierce. Amidst the relentless attack, the Spiritual Energy in front of him started to shatter, proving difficult to defend against.

Lin Chen’s gaze sharpened, his muscles quickly tensed. Even if he couldn’t fend off Lu Kang’s attack, he aimed to minimize the damage.

This was a situation Lin Chen had encountered countless times before, so instead of feeling panic, he focused intensely.

As he realized he couldn’t ward off the attack, Lin Chen’s three eyes turned to look at Lu Kang behind him, his gaze stern. Meanwhile, he kept pulling back the remainder of the sword, because another sword behind him was blocked by a rear assault.

At this moment, Lin Chen had only drawn out this Longsword, waiting for the moment when Lu Kang’s focus would slacken, to deal him a heavy blow!

Yet just as Lin Chen contemplated this and Lu Kang’s attack was imminent, a sudden change occurred before him!

Lin Chen’s body vanished from where he stood, disappearing inexplicably, only to reappear several meters away.

This situation not only caught Lu Kang off guard but also stunned Lin Chen himself.

"What... is going on?"

Lin Chen froze, his eyes scanning the surroundings, but despite the distance increase, nothing appeared to have changed around him. He sensed no flow of energy.

Lu Kang straightened up, his gaze turning cold. As his punch hit empty air, he felt discomfort, his eyes similarly scanning around like Lin Chen’s, eager to identify the cause of the prior change.

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

Lu Kang shouted with such fervor that even the surrounding combatants paused, all looking towards the enraged Lu Kang.

But soon, the thunderous sounds of clashing resumed, drawing everyone’s focus back to the anomalies they were facing.

"Old Jiang, these things seem unkillable."

Within the battlefield, Fang Lin, the former clan leader of the Fang family, was now gasping heavily, his energy depleted. His strength was already inferior to Jiang Wei, and amid such fighting, it was worn even further.

Blood remained on Fang Lin’s beard, adding to his wretched appearance, lacking his usual sternness.

Fang Lin looked toward the monstrous figures on the battlefield, a sense of fear rising within him. With their experience, they had never seen the techniques of the Demon Sect, leaving them struggling to cope.

"Indeed, after a lifetime of fighting, we finally stand united against a common enemy."

Jiang Wei’s mouth curled into a bitter smile.

His state was likewise appalling, not much better off than Fang Lin.

The two had always been major families in Qingmu City, competing over business and territory. And now they’ve found themselves in this predicament.

Jiang Wei looked back, noticing that the three elders he had brought were now down to one. One had died protecting Jiang Wei, and though the other one had not yet perished, his body lying on the ground continually convulsing was near death.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei’s heart ached slightly, as even if they managed to escape, the Jiang and Fang families would need a long time to recover the lost vitality in Qingmu City...

With a clang, Jin Yuwen, beside Jiang Wei, repelled an attack, causing the skin between his thumb and index finger to split open.

He winced, appearing to be in pain.

Then he turned his body, looking at Jiang Wei and Fang Lin, raising his fists as he addressed the two figures before him: "Esteemed elders, perhaps you can assist me in getting out quickly so that I may seek sanctuary from the sect!"

Jin Yuwen’s tone was urgent, clearly unwilling to linger here any longer.

Though his talent was indeed highly regarded, he had yet to convert it into formidable strength; otherwise, he wouldn’t remain at Jiang Wei and Fang Lin’s sides, relying on their skills to avoid harm.

Such actions were quite cunning, as Jin Yuwen was agile, while Jiang Wei and Fang Lin were older and naturally slower, incapable of matching Jin Yuwen’s pace.

Thus, each time Jin Yuwen saw an attack about to land, he quickly led it towards Jiang Wei and Fang Lin, making him the one with the least Spiritual Energy depletion and only minor external injuries.

This displeased Jiang Wei greatly, but he could do nothing.

Even though Jiang Ningyan hadn’t married yet, it was only a matter of time, marking Jiang and Jin’s families as in-laws, so Jiang Wei couldn’t say much.

Unless Jin Yuwen died here, otherwise, with his vengeful nature, offending him here would invite devastating retribution to the Jiang family.

"Sigh, let’s give it a try."

Jiang Wei sighed deeply, feeling somewhat helpless, thus unable to reject Jin Yuwen’s request.

This made the favorable impression Fang Lin had begun to form vanish instantly. He glanced disdainfully at Jiang Wei and then snorted lightly, withdrawing slightly as if ashamed to be associated.
