Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 44: Be Careful! He is the Sub-Altar Master

He twisted his wrist.

Immediately, he performed a "Lonely Star Points".

The Black Iron Sword drew a circular arc of sword qi in mid-air, dispelling the two broadswords.

The crisis was temporarily averted.

However, his attack did not stop at all.

Before his feet hit the ground, he locked onto a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer member, and a "Three Stars Illuminating the Moon" slashed toward him.

The latter was greatly shocked and quickly raised his broadsword with both arms, using the back of it to block the sword.

"Screech——"

The two metals collided, creating sparks.

But he clearly underestimated Jiang Fan’s realm and his swordsmanship even more.

"Crack——"

After a brief standoff, the opponent’s broadsword was split in two.

The Black Iron Sword slashed into his scapula, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Zhao Ming!" The protector wielding a short sword yelled fiercely and stabbed at Jiang Fan’s back.

Jiang Fan grasped the sword hilt with both hands and slashed fiercely!

The Black Iron Sword slashed down along the scapula, cutting off half of his torso!

He couldn’t afford to be concerned about the result of the fight.

Using the momentum of this slash, he turned and met the short sword attack of the protector head-on.

In a clash of weapons, the brave wins!

At this critical moment, Jiang Fan shouted lowly, "Seven Stars to the North!"

He infused all his Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer spiritual power into the Black Iron Sword for his strongest attack.

The powerful sword qi instantly numbed the arch, causing the short sword in the protector’s hand to fall out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Fan swept the sword horizontally!

The protector was greatly alarmed and quickly retracted his hand, but it was too late.

This astounding slash directly severed his fingers and, following through, cut a long wound across his chest.

"This... impossible..." The protector looked down at the bloodline on his chest in disbelief and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Guardian Qiu!" The only remaining Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer member, instead of being afraid, became more aggressive.

Holding a broadsword, he charged forward with a desperate determination.

At this moment.

Xu Yining finally arrived.

Seeing the two bodies on the rooftop and one on the ground, she was shocked.

In just a short time, Jiang Fan had killed three people?

She quickly scanned the area.

She found an over-sixty-year-old remaining member of the Blood Bat Palace, hurriedly moving weapons, and, with a sharp gaze, rushed over with her Green Sword: "Blood Bat Palace remnant, prepare to die!"

Seeing this, Jiang Fan, who was entangled in a fight, changed his expression and shouted, "Be careful!"

"He is not just an ordinary remnant!"

Even though it was just a glance, he could feel the pressure from this elder was no less than that from the short sword protector!

Xu Yining, however, paid no heed.

Having lost the advantage to Jiang Fan, who had claimed three heads, she was already at a disadvantage.

If she couldn’t even kill this one, how could she save face?

"Ah!"

Xu Yining let out a low shout, her body straightened, and she thrust her sword at the elder.

Only then did the elder notice.

He had only gone inside briefly, but his men had been slaughtered almost completely.

This enraged him.

Seeing Xu Yining attacking him, he was filled with fury and roared, "Courting death!"

His body trembled, and terrifying spiritual power surged out from his body.

Xu Yining’s sword had not yet reached, but it was repelled by the oncoming spiritual power.

"Foundation Establishment Realm?" Xu Yining exclaimed in horror, immediately realizing who he was in front of, and shrieked, "Blood Bat Palace Sub-Altar Master!!!"

He was audacious enough to sneak into Lonely Boat City!

"You brats dare to slaughter the elite of my Blood Bat Palace!" The Sub-Altar Master was furious.

He roared and charged toward Xu Yining in great strides!

On the rooftop, Jiang Fan’s expression changed drastically.

With Xu Yining’s strength, she might be killed in one confrontation!

He was anxious and glanced at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer member who was posturing and continuing his offensive.

Suddenly, he used a movement technique to widen the distance between them.

Then he decisively used "Seven Stars to the North".

A sharp sword light swept across the man’s throat.

Without even looking at the result, Jiang Fan immediately leaped down the several-zhang-high wall.

The Sub-Altar Master had already closed in on Xu Yining.

Xu Yining’s heart pounded, and an overwhelming sense of suffocation enveloped her in despair.

She swung her sword with all her strength, trying to force him back.

But her swordsmanship could not even penetrate his external spiritual power.

"Die!" The Sub-Altar Master roared, turning his hand into a claw and tearing toward her throat!

This claw was fast and vicious.

It could snap Xu Yining’s neck!

Xu Yining’s face turned pale, and she was so terrified that she couldn’t breathe, as if she already felt the cold shadow of death over her.

She instinctively closed her eyes.

"Ding——"

But the expected pain did not come; instead, there was a sound of a collision.

When she opened her eyes.

She saw that it was Jiang Fan standing in front of her, blocking the attack with the Black Iron Sword.

"Retreat quickly!" Jiang Fan shouted lowly.

Facing the power of the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, Jiang Fan felt an immense pressure.

Xu Yining was stunned, then quickly reacted and retreated.

"None of you will escape!" The Sub-Altar Master roared.

With a fierce squeeze, his flesh-and-blood claw caused the Black Iron Sword to crack!

Jiang Fan’s face changed drastically, but he quickly had an idea.

Instead of retreating, he poured more of his strong spiritual power into the Black Iron Sword, pushing with all his might.

The consequence was that the Black Iron Sword could not withstand the pressure from both sides.

Finally!

"Crack——"

Amidst a violent shattering sound, the sword body of the Black Iron Sword broke into countless fragments, scattering toward both sides!

A sharp fragment struck Jiang Fan’s face.

However, the material of his metal mask was extraordinary, leaving only a mark.

But the Sub-Altar Master was not as lucky.

A thumb-sized fragment struck him in the forehead, embedding deeply.

"Hiss!" The Sub-Altar Master let out a painful hiss.

However.

This could not cause him substantial harm!

Jiang Fan decisively waved his sleeve, causing all the fragments suspended in mid-air to shoot toward the close Sub-Altar Master!

"You dare... ah!!!"

Most of the fragments missed, but one nail-sized metal fragment pierced his right eye.

Blood gushed from his right eye immediately.

"My eye!" The Sub-Altar Master roared in fury.

With his remaining eye, he glared venomously at Jiang Fan, leaping toward him.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Jiang Fan was highly alert.

He did not dare to confront the berserk Sub-Altar Master head-on.

He immediately performed a movement technique to retreat.

The Sub-Altar Master, filled with killing intent, pursued him, at a speed not much slower than Jiang Fan’s.

The most troublesome part was that before long, Jiang Fan saw the injured Xu Yining, unable to run far.

Cursing inwardly, he embraced her slender waist from behind, taking her along as he ran.

Xu Yining turned her head in surprise and saw that No.1 Shadow Guard was holding her close, their body heat palpable even through clothes.

Her pretty face blushed quickly.

Turning back, she saw the blood-covered, blinded Sub-Altar Master and was even more shocked.

No.1 Shadow Guard had blinded the Sub-Altar Master?

Xu Yining gasped in surprise, how strong was this man?

Having experienced the Sub-Altar Master firsthand, she knew his strength.

In his presence, she was like a lamb to the slaughter, yet this man had injured him and escaped!

Thinking of how she had always been unwilling to accept his position as No.1 Shadow Guard and constantly provoked him, she felt embarrassed.

Their chase did not last long.

Ye Qingxue arrived with other Shadow Guards and the City Lord Mansion’s cavalry to support them.

The Sub-Altar Master, seeing this, could only resentfully jump into an alley.

Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Jiang Fan with his remaining eye, "I remember you! Remember you!!!"

He eyed Jiang Fan’s mask resentfully and disappeared into the alley.

Ye Qingxue approached, seeing Xu Yining being held in Jiang Fan’s arms.

She had a peculiar expression on her face.

If Xu Yining knew that No.1 Shadow Guard was Jiang Fan, she wondered how she would react.

"Ahem..." She cleared her throat and asked, "Was the one who just fled a member of the Blood Bat Palace?"

"How come the two of you ended up being chased by him?"

Ye Qingxue’s scrutinizing gaze scanned them.

Some ordinary members shouldn’t have been handled so badly, right?

If they were really that weak, Ye Qingxue worried that the Shadow Guards she created would become a joke.
