Ma Feng was taken aback, then his eyes widened: "You're Hou Jian?!"

Upon hearing him say her name, Jian smiled broadly: "It's me. You really haven't forgotten me."

As she spoke, the girl slowly stepped forward.

Ma Feng quickly went to greet her: "Hou Jian, you're here! You really are..."

His words abruptly stopped. Noticing Hou Jian's blue pupils, Ma Feng's smile froze, then his face darkened: "Your eyes have turned blue! You've been promoted to Witch Lord! You captured me, didn't you?!"

Hou Jian forced a smile and said, "There's still one step away from becoming a Witch Lord. How could you forget, big brother? You can't become a Witch Lord without dying under the divine sword once."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feng remembered the incident and immediately gripped his longsword tightly.

He immediately replied resolutely, "No! I will not do that! If you become a Witch Lord, you will forget all your past, and I will never allow that!"

What's wrong with forgetting the past?

Hou Jian looked at Ma Feng, her eyes filled with longing and sorrow, and said softly, "For the past ten years, I've never understood how you could leave me alone in the Ice Domain and steal the divine sword and leave..."

“How is this stealing?” Ma Feng interrupted her, arguing, “Guarding and protecting the divine sword is my duty as the sword attendant!”

“Responsibility? What about me? When I was ten, we made a promise that even though we were both orphans who had lost our parents, we would support each other for the rest of our lives. But you… left me all alone.”

"No! No! It's because you were promoted to be the candidate for the Witch Master. I don't want them to stab your heart with a sword. I don't want you to forget me."

Later, Jian asked in confusion, "Then you can take me with you."

Ma Feng shook his head, his expression somber: "If it were me today, I would definitely take you away. But back then, I was only fifteen. I didn't know what the outside world was like, I didn't know what would happen, and I didn't know where I should go..."

Then Jian murmured softly, "So that's how it is."

With the misunderstanding that had troubled her for years cleared up, Hou Jian smiled happily and said, "Then, you can take me away now, right, big brother?"

The girl's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and Man Nima Feng readily agreed, even starting to fantasize about a wonderful future life.

Unexpectedly, Ma Feng paused for a moment and said, "Unfortunately, times have changed. I am no longer the Ma Feng I once was."

Jane's smile faded, and her disappointment became evident.

After a moment of stunned silence, she murmured, "Very well, then use the divine sword in your hand to grant my wish."

As she spoke, she slowly opened her arms and turned her heart toward Ma Feng.

Ma Feng didn't say a word and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Gao Li shouted, "Watch out!"

Startled, Ma Feng realized that his vision blurred and a figure pounced on him, delivering a powerful palm strike.

In that critical moment, Ma Feng didn't have time to think. He instinctively pulled Hou Jian in front of him to shield her.

228 Take up your divine sword and plunge it into her heart.

Caught off guard, Hou Jian, who was in the midst of grief, had no time to react before being struck squarely on the forehead!

"puff!"

Then, Jian opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her blue pupils instantly turned dull and lifeless. Her eyes closed, and her petite body slumped softly to the ground, her life hanging in the balance.

Gao Li witnessed the whole thing and was immediately stunned.

Judging from their behavior just now, the two are clearly old acquaintances, and they were very close when they were children.

However, after being separated for ten years, when they met again and encountered danger, Ma Feng actually pulled a girl who had nothing but him in her heart to use as a shield!

Gao Li was shocked, and then a surge of anger welled up within him.

As someone with someone he cares about and someone he loves, and as a killer who isn't cold-blooded, he simply couldn't bear to witness such a scene of "betrayal by a lover."

As for Ma Feng himself, he was stunned.

Looking at the unconscious Hou Jian, and then at the pool of blood on the ground, his expression was full of disbelief: "Blood...blood...how could someone who is about to become the Witch Lord be injured, how could he bleed?"

The two of them were stunned, but Ximen Yu, who had launched the sneak attack, was not.

With a swift movement, he continued his attack on Ma Feng.

bass--

With a clear sword cry, the Rain Clan's divine sword flew out of its sheath from Ma Feng's back and pierced towards Ximen Yu.

Left with no other option, Ximen Yu had to fight the divine sword.

However, after being stopped by the divine sword, Gao Li and Ma Feng also realized what was happening.

Without waiting for the last sentence, Ma Feng turned and ran, but Gao Li shouted sharply, "Don't go! Kill him together! He's been poisoned and his power has been greatly reduced!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Feng abruptly stopped in his tracks, suddenly waking up with a start.

Yes, with Ximen Yu's strength, the divine sword that can defend itself would not last more than three moves in his hands, so how could it be fighting so protractedly like this?

There's only one answer: he has a health problem!

Realizing what was happening too late, Ma Feng quickly turned around and charged back, joining Gao Li in the battle.

"You two deserters, I'll let you off the hook for now, but I'll settle accounts with you another day."

Ximen Yu coldly uttered a sentence and then leaped away.

During the battle just now, he tried various methods but could not break through the two women's protective shield. Instead, he was poisoned by Blue Phoenix.

Having temporarily suppressed the situation with his profound internal strength, Ximen Yu dared not delay and decisively withdrew.

Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang naturally couldn't catch up in a short time.

Halfway there, he saw Gao Li and Ma Feng.

The latter was still babbling on and on with a girl.

Seeing that Ma Feng was distracted, he seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, intending to kill this shameful deserter.

Unexpectedly, this unexpected turn of events occurred.

Now that he was using most of his power to suppress the poison, he was no match for the two of them. He immediately turned and left, waiting to get revenge another day.

Gao Li and Ma Feng were startled upon hearing this.

Having been targeted by the Azure Dragon Society, whose intelligence and strength are equally terrifying, how could they possibly survive?

"Sword!"

With a low shout, Ma Feng unleashed the Rain Clan's divine sword, which swiftly caught up with Ximen Yu.

Although the divine sword was no match for Ximen Yu, it was indestructible and could still entangle him.

Meanwhile, Gao Li and Ma Feng had already taken the opportunity to catch up.

Ximen Yu's face darkened.

He knew he absolutely could not get bogged down in a protracted war, or he would surely die.

With this thought in mind, Ximen Yu's eyes hardened, and he stopped suppressing the poison, mobilizing all the true energy in his body.

He first struck the sword with his palm, sending it flying ten feet away and embedding it deeply into a large rock.

The sword was immediately stuck in the crevice.

Despite the divine sword's constant buzzing and trembling, it could not break free.

Then, Ximen Yu struck Gao Li and Ma Feng twice with his palms, sending them flying backward and spitting blood.

Just as Ximen Yu was about to deliver the finishing blow, he suddenly felt dizzy and his steps faltered, almost causing him to fall to the ground.

This means the toxins are starting to take effect!

Ximen Yu quickly used his internal energy to suppress the poison, not daring to delay any longer, and leaped away.

Now, he just wants to find a quiet place to detoxify and heal his wounds.

Gao Li and Ma Feng could only watch him leave, their eyes filled with despair.

Just then, a voice rang out—

"Finally caught up, what a lively scene! Hmm? You're Ximen Yu from 'July 15th'? Ximen the High Official... no, Ximen the Altar Master, don't go!"

With a whooshing sound, a leaf, enveloped in powerful true energy, shot towards Ximen Yu like an arrow.

Ximen Yu had just escaped the two men and hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when he was attacked again.

He quickly used his internal energy to parry.

Unfortunately, due to the hasty response and lack of full strength, the leaf pierced through his right palm and went straight into his lower abdomen.

With the dantian and qi sea broken, true qi was rapidly leaking out, and the toxins in the body could no longer be suppressed.

Ximen Yu's eyes widened, his face turned purplish-black at a visible speed, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black gas, and then fell straight to the ground.

But he died.

The clatter of hooves grew louder as it approached. Jiang Sishui, seated on horseback, glanced down and murmured, "So it's poisoned."

He hadn't intended to kill Ximen Yu, only to cripple his cultivation, but unexpectedly, Ximen Yu was already at his last gasp.

"stop!"

Stopping the two who were trying to escape, Jiang Sishui and Du Bingyan rode forward.
