At this moment, the world seemed to fall silent.
All the commotion was drained away.
The chaotic battlefield also seemed to become a silent backdrop.
Only Young Master Jun, Oriental Aoyue, and Li Xianyao remained.
Oriental Aoyue's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.
She hadn't expected Young Master Jun to intervene.
And it was too late to withdraw her hand.
Li Xianyao's immortal face also froze.
Young Master Jun stood in front of her.
And the tip of the demon sword seven deadly sins was headed straight for his chest!
Clang!
Just as the demon sword seven deadly sins was about to pierce Young Master Jun's chest—
Young Master Jun, with his bare hands, grabbed the blade of the demon sword with his five fingers.
The tip of the sword just barely touched his chest!
Clang…
Young Master Jun's hand, gripping the blade, trembled violently, colliding with the demon sword seven deadly sins.
But the blade simply couldn't go any further.
Oriental Aoyue was stunned.
"Why?"
A voice came from Oriental Aoyue's lips, hidden by her black veil.
In this noisy battlefield, only they could hear that faint sound.
To outsiders, it simply looked like Young Master Jun and Oriental Aoyue had clashed.
"You cannot harm her."
A hint of complexity flashed in Young Master Jun's eyes, but he still said this.
Even if this would hurt Oriental Aoyue, there was no other way.
Young Master Jun would not allow anyone connected to Jiang Shengyi to suffer even the slightest harm.
Even if that person was Oriental Aoyue!
Oriental Aoyue's face instantly paled, her lips turned white, and her pupils trembled silently.
This man, whom she loved most.
The man of her dreams, with whom she wished to be together eternally.
The man who said he would walk the path of revenge with her.
Now, he was personally blocking her path of revenge.
"He who tied the bell must untie it; your matter is too complicated."
"But the ones who deserve to die are Saint Li and Yin Yurong, not her," Young Master Jun said.
Upon hearing this.
Oriental Aoyue's heart suddenly constricted.
It felt as if a thousand needles had deeply pierced her.
A self-mocking smile appeared at the corner of her lips, hidden by her black veil.
That's right.
Li Xianyao might be innocent, unaware of anything.
But what about her?
Did she, who knew everything, deserve to endure such pain?
Oriental Aoyue knew that this world was never fair.
That's why she had always pursued power.
Since it was destined to be unfair.
Then she would never want to be the oppressed one!
Boom!
After realizing this, the killing intent emanating from Oriental Aoyue became even more intense.
She looked at Young Master Jun, without resentment.
Because she knew she could never resent the man before her, let alone hate him.
It was just that she was in great pain.
After all, Young Master Jun was the first, and only, man who could enter her heart.
The deeper the love, the more painful the wound.
But the next moment.
Young Master Jun made a move that caused Oriental Aoyue's heart to tremble suddenly, her breathing almost stopping!
Young Master Jun actually slightly loosened his grip on the blade of the demon sword.
Of course, from the outside, it looked as if Young Master Jun was resisting the power of the demon sword.
And with that slight loosening of his grip—
The demon sword seven deadly sins directly pierced into Young Master Jun's chest!
Pfft!
A splash of blood splattered!
This scene not only stunned Oriental Aoyue, making her heart tremble.
Li Xianyao couldn't help but exclaim, her face pale.
And some other people who were paying attention to Young Master Jun were also greatly alarmed!
Young Master Jun was injured!
One must know that even during the previous grand battle to slay emperors.
Young Master Jun had not suffered any significant injuries.
Now, however, Young Master Jun was injured.
At the same time.
Young Master Jun also struck a palm towards Oriental Aoyue.
Of course, it was merely a gesture, without any real power.
Although it looked like light was surging and divine energy was overflowing, it posed no threat whatsoever.
Oriental Aoyue, too, took the opportunity to retreat, pulling out the demon sword seven deadly sins.
Her jade hand, holding the sword, trembled slightly.
"As expected of the demon sword seven deadly sins; I've certainly learned a lesson."
Young Master Jun suddenly said in a clear voice.
On his chest, although blood stained his white robe.
However, inside, runic light erupted, and the Divine Spirit Undying Art was operating, as if a deity was chanting scriptures within Young Master Jun's body.
For him, this injury was more of a performance.
After all, when Young Master Jun had gripped the blade.
Oriental Aoyue had already secretly dispersed her power.
Upon seeing that Young Master Jun seemed unharmed.
Oriental Aoyue finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, she still felt lingering fear and self-reproach.
If she had truly injured Young Master Jun.
She would have hated herself even more.
And at this moment, many powerhouses from the Doomsday Divine Sect, seeing this, couldn't help but shout with excitement.
"As expected of one worthy of being recognized by the demon sword, the Demon Empress's methods are truly extraordinary!"
"Haha, what if he's the Yun Clan Young Master? Even if he can Heaven-Defyingly slay emperors, he was still injured by our sect's Demon Empress!"
Some powerhouses of the Doomsday Divine Sect looked at Oriental Aoyue with a fervent adoration.
After all, Young Master Jun's performance was too Heaven-Defying.
And how many could injure Young Master Jun?
Their Doomsday Divine Sect's Demon Empress had done it!
Seeing this, Oriental Aoyue completely understood.
Young Master Jun was using his own injury to create momentum for her!
The people of the Doomsday Divine Sect would, because of this, hold Oriental Aoyue in higher regard.
This way, it would naturally be more convenient for Oriental Aoyue to control the Doomsday Divine Sect later, and she would gain many followers.
After understanding, Oriental Aoyue bit her lip.
Even at this moment, this man was still thinking about how to help her.
This proved that Young Master Jun always had her in his heart.
After realizing this, Oriental Aoyue's mood also eased somewhat.
Although Li Xianyao's appearance filled her heart with turmoil.
Young Master Jun's actions, however, unexpectedly soothed her heart.
She gave Young Master Jun a deep look, then looked at Li Xianyao, her eyes still cold.
"Since he is protecting you, consider yourself lucky this time."
With that, Oriental Aoyue withdrew and retreated.
She was not an unreasonable woman.
Young Master Jun had already helped her in this manner.
If she were to continue to pester Li Xianyao at this moment, it would seem somewhat inappropriate.
Most importantly, she didn't want to bring too much trouble to Young Master Jun.
As long as Young Master Jun still had her in his heart, that was enough.
Meanwhile, on this side.
"Young Master Jun…"
Li Xianyao also stepped forward, holding Young Master Jun's arm, asking with concern.
Seeing Young Master Jun block the sword for her, his clothes stained with blood.
Li Xianyao's eyes trembled, and a strange feeling of heartache welled up in her heart.
For a moment, she didn't care about gender distinctions, holding Young Master Jun closely.
"Fairy Yao, I'm fine…" Young Master Jun smiled slightly.
"No, your wound is still bleeding…"
Li Xianyao's jade hand pressed against Young Master Jun's chest, then she activated the power of her Supreme Dao Body.
A breath of Supreme power permeated, flowing into his body through her jade hand.
Supreme power was extremely profound; it could be used for attack, and also for healing.
Seeing Li Xianyao's anxious and concerned gaze.
Young Master Jun was stunned.
His action was merely to help Oriental Aoyue, to create some momentum for her.
To enable her to better control the Doomsday Divine Sect, and later to more easily explore clues about the doomsday immortal ship.
In short, it was a textbook performance.
Now it seemed, it had also unexpectedly brought him closer to Li Xianyao.
This could be considered an unexpected gain.
