At this mont, Nami Amayama, having stealthily assassinated Protector Ishigami Minoru, once again flashed through the air, charging into the ranks of the Martial Alliance. With a swift rise and fall of her blade, she was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, unleashing a massacre!
Caught off guard, the mbers of the Martial Alliance imdiately cried out in panic, scrambling in disarray to escape. None of them were a match for Nami Amayama, who only dealt death!
In an instant, the scene descended into complete chaos.
Higashimura Daisuke and Amaya Rei exchanged a glance, their faces filled with horror, before they stealthily retreated along with the scattered crowd.
The two realized that today's hope of executing Ling Fan had vanished.
Moreover, this guy was very likely Ling Beiming himself. Dammit, if not now, then when to escape!
The onlooking crowd from Snow Country was utterly dumbfounded. The enemy had not yet been finished off, yet the Martial Alliance was erupting into internal strife!
"Bang!"
Akira Mikawa suddenly collided with Ling Fan. This guy did have so skills, as he actually managed to withstand Ling Fan's "Thunderclap Sky-breaker"!
This guy belonged to one of the four great Martial Arts linages of Snow Country, the Heavenly Path School, and was highly skilled in swordsmanship.
However, though he had withstood the attack, he still appeared quite disheveled, with a patch of blood staining his chest on his robe!
After withstanding a strike from Ling Fan, Akira Mikawa had no desire to continue fighting.
But witnessing the turmoil in the field, he felt as though his heart was bleeding, and his eyes were about to split with rage. Pointing at Nami Amayama, he bellowed, "Protector Amayama, you dare betray the Martial Alliance, await endless pursuit and assassination by the Snow Country Martial Arts World!"
Nami Amayama seed not to hear his words at all, focusing solely on hunting down the mbers of the Martial Alliance!
"Akira Mikawa, Nami Amayama is a mber of my Hell Idlers. I'd like to see just how much energy you Snow Country people have to lay your hands on my people!" Ling Fan snorted coldly, his presence overwhelmingly dominant.
He, the War Emperor, had once road the five continents and seven seas, and he had never heard of any force bold enough to provoke the notoriety of his "Hell Idlers," including any nation!
Upon hearing this, Akira Mikawa imdiately took a deep breath, his throat turning dry. These Hell Idlers were truly unpredictable; they had even infiltrated the Martial Alliance to beco protectors!
Given ti, they might even take down the Head of the Martial Alliance!
Considering this, Akira Mikawa felt a chill running down his spine. The situation today was untenable; escaping was of paramount importance!
Knowing that the man before him was Ling Beiming, his fighting spirit had completely vanished!
"Not bad, after two years, your Sword Dao has improved. You actually managed to survive the first of my Eighteen Forms of Limitlessness. Let's see you take a few more!" Ling Fan remarked with slight admiration, speaking calmly.
Ling Fan was indeed a little surprised that Akira Mikawa could withstand one of his strikes.
But to Akira Mikawa, those words were utterly terrifying!
The very strike he had barely withstood was just one of the eighteen, and each would surely be more fierce than the last. To face such an opponent was to invite certain death!
Without a second word, he chose the best plan; retreat!
The onlookers watched as the Vice Alliance Hierarch, who had co with great montum, turned to flee in an instant. Their mouths gaped in disbelief and they exchanged puzzled looks.
This was a far cry from their expectations, shaking the very ntality of the crowd from Snow Country!
"Heh, you think you can leave just like that?" Ling Fan uttered coldly, taking a step and vanishing from his spot.
Executing the Gui Xu Dance to its limit, he pursued Akira Mikawa!
Akira Mikawa bolted desperately, the approaching Ling Fan causing his scalp to tingle!
"Akira Mikawa, you can't escape. Better to face in an honorable fight! Your actions today will beco a dishonor to the Snow Country Martial Arts World. Even if you escape, you'll be despised by the Martial Arts World. This place will have no room for you!" As Ling Fan chased him, he scoffed.
The people of Snow Country esteed the spirit of Bushido—martial artists could die in battle, but not flee. Especially soone of Akira Mikawa's stature, every move reflected the face of the Snow Country Martial Arts World!
Chased down, Akira Mikawa almost cried; he understood all this too well, but he truly didn't want to die.
If the man behind him were not Ling Beiming, he would have gladly faced him in battle!
But this was damnably Ling Beiming. A aningless death held no value to him!
Even if reviled by the Snow Country Martial Arts World, he wanted to live. If not in Snow Country, with his cultivation, he could fare well anywhere in the world!
Just then, as Ling Fan was chasing Akira Mikawa to a corner, sothing unexpected occurred.
A dark shadow flashed out suddenly at the corner, swift as lightning and fierce as Lei Ting, a swirling Sword Light in hand, the Sword Intent peerless!
In just a blink, it crossed paths with the fleeing Akira Mikawa and positioned itself in front of Ling Fan!
This sudden turn of events caused Ling Fan to halt imdiately, curiously watching the new figure in front of him.
"Thump!"
A sound of soone collapsing rang out. The crowd fixed their gaze and was shocked, drawing a sharp breath!
They saw the previously fleeing Akira Mikawa tumble to the ground, his forehead emanating a crimson mist, his eyes filled with shock and fear, and a look of death without closure!
"Dead... dead?" A notion of disbelief rose in everyone's hearts as they were stunned by the figure that had suddenly appeared.
It was this sudden figure who had killed the Vice Alliance Hierarch, Akira Mikawa!
"As the Vice Alliance Hierarch, in the face of our national integrity, yet you beca a deserter at the brink of battle. What use are you?" The person spoke calmly, standing with ease in front of Ling Fan, leaning on his sword.
The crowd was stunned as they gazed upon this mysterious newcor, a fellow about the sa age as Ling Fan!
However, none recognized him, all wearing faces of confusion.
But when Yukieko, standing in the distance, clearly saw the person, her face turned pale, her hands and feet icy cold!
