Chapter 4290
In just ten short minutes, the majority of the disciples from the Soul Demon Sect found themselves unable to stand, with many collapsing to the ground, groaning in agony!
Patriarch Jiang, witnessing this chaos, was panting heavily, his heart filled with anguish!
The overwhelming exertion left Patriarch Jiang struggling to muster a formidable attack at this critical moment, and the sight of his injured disciples only intensified his anxiety!
Puff!
A torrent of blood erupted from his mouth, causing the aura surrounding Patriarch Jiang to diminish instantly!
“Father ……”
“Father-in-law ……”
Ochre Yan and Jiang Yulian rushed to his side, offering their support!
At that moment, Patriarch Jiang’s energy dwindled, and his face was etched with deep wrinkles, making him appear significantly aged!
The rapid-fire events and the strain on his body proved too much for him, leading to his collapse.
Di Chongjing, observing this scene, was utterly delighted!
“Senior brother, you really are a novice; I didn’t even retaliate, yet you couldn’t hold your own?”
“If you spare me, I’ll make a move on your daughter. I have plenty of followers who haven’t experienced dual cultivation yet.”
Di Chongjing taunted Patriarch Jiang with malicious intent.
“You ……”
Puff …
Another spurt of blood escaped Patriarch Jiang, further weakening his breath.
“Hahaha…………” Di Chongjing cackled maniacally at the sight!
“I can’t believe this …………”
Ochre Yan’s fury ignited, for Jiang Yulian was his beloved. Di Chongjing’s humiliation of her was something he could not tolerate!
Suddenly, Ochre Yan was engulfed in flames, his figure resembling a blazing inferno.
The sky was illuminated with red flames as Ochre Yan charged towards Di Chongjing with reckless abandon!
Ochre Yan was determined to use his own body as a weapon, willing to follow Di Chongjing to his doom!
Di Chongjing, initially taken aback, soon laughed coldly, “With your level of strength, even if you self-destruct, you won’t even scratch me. To me, you’re just a mere insect.”
With a wave of his hand, a blood mist enveloped Ochre Yan!
The flames surrounding Ochre Yan were snuffed out instantly, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily at Jiang Yulian’s feet!
“Ochre Yan ……” Jiang Yulian cried out, desperate to help him but failing repeatedly.
Ochre Yan was gravely injured.
After all, Di Chongjing was a formidable expert from the Mahayana realm, making it easy for him to overpower Ochre Yan!
“Yulian, I’m so sorry. I’m not strong enough to protect you ……”
Ochre Yan was filled with remorse!
As a man, failing to protect his beloved was the ultimate sign of inadequacy!
“Don’t say that! If fate has decreed our end, then we will face it together,”
Jiang Yulian replied, tears glistening in her eyes.
“Great niece, if you choose to die, I won’t stop you. But let my men finish their fun first,”
Di Chongjing sneered, winking at his followers, “You all go ahead; don’t rush, line up one by one ……”
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
A few men from the Blood and Bone Sect’s eyes gleamed with excitement as they moved toward Jiang Yulian.
“Di Chongjing, you monster! If there’s anything to face, let it be just me. I’ll take it all; don’t lay a hand on my daughter!”
Patriarch Jiang hissed, yet his body remained immobile.
Ochre Yan’s eyes were ablaze with rage, but he felt utterly powerless.
Jiang Yulian grasped a longsword tightly, glaring at the determined men from the Blood and Bone Sect.
Even if it meant her end, she refused to let them have their way.
“Little girl, don’t resist. Just be obedient, close your eyes, and it will be over soon.”
“We promise to be gentle with you. Besides, you’re not a naive girl anymore, so stop pretending to be virtuous.”
“If you cooperate, we can plead with the Sect Master for your release.”
The men from the Blood and Bone Sect tried to persuade Jiang Yulian.
