Unrestricted Dao Lord

BAM.

Zhou Mu drew his sword and, using almost all his strength, barely managed to block the attack in front of Yu Jingjing.

But because he had acted in haste, he couldn’t fully unleash his Inner Force. The terrifying power from the black spear sent a numbing shock through his hand, and he nearly lost his grip on his sword.

Moreover, a dreadful chill traveled from the black spear and spread into his body.

Still, Zhou Mu’s block had managed to stop the spear.

"Get back!"

Zhou Mu roared.

Although Yu Jingjing was also flustered, she knew perfectly well that Zhou Mu’s intervention meant she had just been moments from death.

If Zhou Mu had been even a fraction of a second slower, she would be dead!

And it wasn’t just Yu Jingjing; a shadowy figure had appeared before Bai Jinghong in an instant, like a phantom.

Bai Jinghong had a Guardian as well, and his Guardian immediately moved to intercept the attack.

However, the shadowy figure didn’t engage Bai Jinghong’s Guardian head-on. Instead, its Body Technique was fluid and its speed astonishing. It specifically maneuvered around the Guardian, trying to assassinate Bai Jinghong.

Clearly, their target was Bai Jinghong himself.

But Bai Jinghong was decisive. He immediately fell back and regrouped with Yu Jingjing.

However, Bai Jinghong’s three companions were not so fortunate.

Surrounded by Zhao Yan and his four men, they were quickly injured.

The three of them wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.

If things continued like this, their deaths were all but certain.

’How could this be...’

Bai Jinghong was stunned and bewildered.

SPIT.

Just as Bai Jinghong and Yu Jingjing were wondering why a Huajin expert from the Five Elements Sect would ambush them, the master of the black spear sent Zhou Mu flying, a mouthful of fresh blood spraying from his lips.

He fell like a kite with a snapped string, landing in front of Yu Jingjing.

"Senior Brother Zhou..."

Yu Jingjing rushed forward to help Zhou Mu up.

But Zhou Mu was in terrible condition.

He wasn’t dead, but he was severely injured and had lost all combat capability.

"Sikong Shuang! And He Feng... did you two specifically set this ambush for us?"

Zhou Mu glared at the owner of the black spear—a tall woman.

Sikong Shuang gripped her black spear as He Feng came to stand beside her.

Bai Jinghong’s Guardian was uninjured.

But as he looked at Zhou Mu beside him, then at Sikong Shuang and He Feng, his expression grew grave.

He had to face both He Feng and Sikong Shuang alone. It was obvious he couldn’t stop them!

Sikong Shuang sneered, "Bai Jinghong, Yu Jingjing, your team has been getting quite a bit of attention lately. The only reason you dared to make a move on Zhao Yan was because you thought you had two Guardians to cover your backs, wasn’t it?"

"Since you’ve broken the rules, we naturally had to learn from your example. You can just consider us Zhao Yan’s Guardians. It’s the same principle, isn’t it?"

The hearts of Bai Jinghong and Yu Jingjing sank.

They knew this was just an excuse from Sikong Shuang.

The real reason was that their squad had killed too many Inner Force Martial Artists from the Five Elements Sect lately, which was why Sikong Shuang had targeted them.

Even though they had two Guardians, Sikong Shuang’s surprise attack had severely injured Zhou Mu. With only Bai Jinghong’s Guardian left, the situation was extremely perilous.

"With He Feng here, we can’t break through. Even if we could, he would just hunt us down."

Bai Jinghong’s Guardian remained calm.

But the calmer he was, the more he understood the gravity of their situation.

This time, he feared he wouldn’t be able to protect Bai Jinghong.

"Then we scatter and try to break through. We have to escape, even if there’s only a sliver of a chance! It’s every man for himself..."

As the squad’s leader, Bai Jinghong made his decision.

"Senior Brother Xia, I’m sorry for dragging you into this..."

Bai Jinghong said to the Guardian standing before him.

Yu Jingjing gritted her teeth.

But Zhou Mu grabbed Yu Jingjing’s hand and said weakly, "Junior Sister Yu, when we break out, just save yourself. Don’t worry about me. I am your Guardian. I can die, but you cannot..."

With that said, Zhou Mu tried to push himself up.

But he was too heavily injured; he couldn’t even stand.

"Senior Brother Zhou..."

At that moment, Yu Jingjing truly hated herself for failing to grasp the transformations of Power after all this time.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so completely useless now.

"Such a touching scene. Too bad you’re all going to die!"

Sikong Shuang was inwardly exultant.

If she could kill both Yu Jingjing and Bai Jinghong, and their two Guardians as well, the rewards from this venture would be immense.

After all, any disciple from the Guiyuan Sect important enough to be assigned a Guardian had to be a top genius from the Five Great Martial Veins.

Even if they couldn’t compare to the geniuses of the Five Elements Sect who had achieved Two Meridians Unite, they couldn’t be that far behind.

This would be a great accomplishment!

Ever since Sikong Shuang had been punished by the Elders for failing to protect Jiang Taizhen, she had been frantically searching everywhere for Zhang Su.

Unfortunately, she had never been able to find Zhang Su.

Her killing intent had no outlet, leaving her heart heavy with frustration.

But now, she felt that frustration was about to vanish.

"Die!"

Sikong Shuang made her move.

Her target, however, was not Yu Jingjing, nor was it Bai Jinghong. It was Bai Jinghong’s Guardian, the Huajin Martial Artist Xia Yun!

After all, Xia Yun was a Huajin Martial Artist.

As long as Xia Yun was alive, there would always be a risk of the unexpected.

Once Xia Yun was dead, Bai Jinghong and Yu Jingjing would be nothing more than meat on a chopping block, hers for the slaughter.

Xia Yun seemed to have been expecting this move from Sikong Shuang.

Even so, he didn’t dare let his guard down in the slightest.

Sikong Shuang was a master on the Huajin bounty list; there were few Huajin Martial Artists who could claim they were certain to defeat her.

BAM.
