"Urgh—!"

Her flesh tore open again before it had time to heal completely. The pain was so severe that Little White trembled fiercely and let out a ghastly cry to the sky!

Little White used the Healing Talismans to repair her body in the fastest speed possible. However, the last strike was simply too much to bear! She was barely able to stay on her feet!

She wouldn't be able to withstand it even if she used Ling Yun's Defense Talismans and Gold Talismans!

Ling Yun immediately turned towards Little White. His eyes narrowed. He knew instinctively that something must be wrong!

It was only the second wave! How could the lightning be so powerful?

Little White wouldn't be able to survive the third wave if this continued!

"Kacha!" Another bolt of thick silver lightning struck again. It penetrated the night sky and hit Little White's body once again!

Little White's slender limbs gave way, and she collapsed onto the ground!

The cloud loomed above them in an imposing manner, threatening every living thing underneath it!

Tribulation wasn't kind enough to allow any opportunity to the one being tried!

There were only two possible outcomes — survive it or die trying!

"Xian Er, persevere! Use the Lightning Trap Talismans now! Don't wait for the third wave! Get back quickly to the Xiantian Eight Trigrams Formation!"

Ling Yun took a deep breath and unleashed the Mystical Dragon Howl towards Little White without reservation!

Ling Yun used the Mystical Dragon Howl because he was afraid that Little White might have pa.s.sed out from the pain.

"Kacha!" Another bolt of lightning struck Little White's feeble body. She had just managed to stand up, only to be smashed down again!

"Get up quickly and run!" Ling Yun shouted with heartache and anxiety as Little White became charred.

"Cha… Woo…"

A Xiantian Realm Level Two ninja crept up behind Ling Yun, thinking that Ling Yun was distracted. He raised his sword and slashed down towards Ling Yun's head!

"Hmph!" Ling Yun swept the Devil's Blade in his right hand gently without as much as a glance.

The two blades clashed!

"Dang!" The j.a.panese ninja felt his hand jerk severely, and his sword flew away into the sky!

It was obviously of very good quality since it didn't break in two immediately. Only a two-centimeter cut appeared on the blade!

Ling Yun did a somersault and landed right in front of the j.a.panese ninja!

After a series of snapping sound, the j.a.panese ninja let out a terrified scream before collapsing on the ground!

"Pu!" The ninja's head was sliced off cleanly!

"You must be prepared to die if you want to ambush me!" Ling Yun's voice was cold and indifferent. His eyes were still on Little White das.h.i.+ng towards the Xiantian Eight Trigrams Formation, his heart secretly cheering her on.

Little White nearly fainted after the three thick bolts, but Ling Yun's howl returned her to her senses. She clenched her teeth and activated the Celestial Fox Attribute and six Lightning Trap Talismans on herself. She then used the Nine Star Studded Flash to gallop into the Xiantian Eight Trigrams!

The bolts of lightning came too fast. One by one, they hit Little White's body. She winced in pain as she sprinted more than a hundred meters with every step!

The Lightning Trap Talismans were of immense help. She would be long gone without them!

Ling Yun turned back to his battle after feeling a.s.sured that Little White could reach the Xiantian Eight Trigrams Formation.

Ling Yun had been putting up a strong front! His body had long been drained of spiritual energy, and he also had less than 30% of his Yin-Yang Qi left.

Despite his weary state, there were five ninjas left. The two strongest would have been troublesome to handle even if he was at peak condition.

Tokugawa Takeo saw through this. They had no business with Little White suffering her tribulation. In fact, she might not even survive it. He knew they should deal with Ling Yun first!

Of course, even if Little White did pa.s.s her tribulation, she would be severely wounded. They could deal with her easily while she was defenseless.

"We'll charge together and use our strongest skills. We have to kill this Huaxia pract.i.tioner as soon as possible. We cannot afford to let him recover his strength!"

Tokugawa Takeo issued the attack command while staring at the slightly wobbly legs of Ling Yun.

Tokugawa Takeo was thrown into deep despair when he saw what Ling Yun was capable of just now. He never thought that the enemy would be so strong!

"Hai!" Everyone, including Yusei Yanagi, nodded at the same time. They raised their swords to their chests and rushed towards Ling Yun!

Ling Yun sent an icy cold glare towards the enemy!

Ling Yun stood there like a huge rock. There was no retreat!

In fact, he could use the darkness and the complex terrain to his advantage to play for time. He could even use the Thousand Miles G.o.dly Steps to dodge around so that his energy would recover.

However, that was impossible in the current situation. Ling Yun hadn't thought that Little White's tribulation would be so horrifying!

Moreover, Ling Yun didn't know when the second wave would stop. Once the lightning stopped, any one of them could easily kill the injured Little White. The consequences would be unimaginable! It forced Ling Yun into a pa.s.sive position!

He had to kill all the enemies before Little White successfully overcame her tribulation!

That was Ling Yun's belief!

Tokugawa Takeo and Yusei Yanagi led the attack. Ling Yun waited until they were within ten meters of him before he counted down from three to one in his heart!

"Kacha!" Another thick bolt of lightning appeared, blinding the ninjas! They closed their eyes in reflex!

Ling Yun had his back facing Little White and was naturally not affected by the lightning. He took advantage of the opportunity and flicked dozens of steel nails towards them!

Obviously, that wasn't a problem for them. They determined the position of the steel nails through sound and blocked all of them!

That didn't bother Ling Yun in the least. He only wanted to distract them in order to obtain the advantage!

He activated the Stellar Condensation Technique. This time, however, there was no s.h.i.+ne on his body because the moon and the stars couldn't penetrate the tribulation cloud!

Ling Yun's tall figure came into full view after the image of the dazzling flash faded!

Dragon Fish Phantom Ability!

An afterimage was left in the place where he leaped from. His body had gone past Tokugawa Takeo and Yusei Yanagi and sailed into the midst of the enemy! It was one against three!

"Peng!" Ling Yun slammed hard into a ninja, eliciting a howl of pain from him. The Devil's Blade in his right hand cut through the ninja's body like a piece of tofu.

Another ninja down!

Ling Yun didn't stop there. He used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to get to the ninja on his left.

That ninja was stunned! He didn't expect Ling Yun to appear in front of him in the blink of an eye!

"Takeda, stop him!"

Tokugawa Takeo and Yusei Yanagi shouted in unison as they shot toward Ling Yun.

"Baka—" Takeda regained his composure and darted forward as well!

"Seven Kills of the Ghost Shadow!"

Takeda knew that his death was inevitable, so he chose to fight head-on with Ling Yun and displayed his highest skill — the Seven Kills of the Ghost Shadow!

It was indeed powerful. Seven shadows of his sword slashed towards the left side of Ling Yun's body!

Takeda was cut down by Ling Yun, but not one shadow touched Ling Yun's body!

"You… why do you have another sword in hand…"

Takeda pointed at the Dragon Vein Sword that appeared suddenly in Ling Yun's hand. He couldn't believe it!

Takeda's Seven Kills of the Ghost Shadow landed on Ling Yun's Dragon Vein Sword, and his sword broke into two; it couldn't rival the sharpness of the Dragon Vein Sword.

Takeda died with a remaining grievance!

Ling Yun didn't have the time to answer him. He had to lift both the Devil's Blade and the Dragon Vein Sword up above his head at the same time!

The strongest of the enemies — Tokugawa Takeo and Yusei Yanagi — finally came into contact with Ling Yun for the first time!

"Welcoming the wind with a blow!"
