In fact, all of this happened in the blink of an eye. From Yin Zhijie using "Sky Rain Star Fragment" to Li Sicong using his sword to break it, all of it happened in a single move.

Li Sicong just realized that his own heavy sword had already cracked, and in the next second, the entire sword shattered, Yin Zhijie's sword was already thrusting towards his chest, Li Sicong had no time to react at all.

Just as Yin Zhijie's long sword was about to strike Li Sicong, a black shadow suddenly appeared in between them. With a "pu" sound, Yin Zhijie's longsword disappeared into the black shadow.

The black shadow was none other than the white-haired old man who had been fighting with Li Xuanren, Jin Wuyu.

He had long realized that Li Sicong was actually not Yin Zhijie's match. However, both of their strengths should be around the same, so Li Sicong wouldn't lose out in the short term. Thus, he approached the two of them intentionally as he fought.

As expected, just as Jin Wujing thought, after a long time, Li Sicong had already revealed his defeat. On the other hand, looking at Yin Zhijie, it looked as if he had complete confidence in him.

The reason why Yan Nantian was able to become the strongest of the thirty-six sects was mainly because he had broken through the limitations of the Sect Master's Golden Seal martial arts and created his own set of Martial Skill — — One Sword in the Sky.

From the side, Jin Wuyu observed that from the moment Yin Zhijie fought with Li Sicong, he had always been using the Martial Skill. As Yan Nantian's most beloved disciple, and the person who was most likely to take over the position of the East Astral Sect's Sect Master, Yan Nantian had no reason not to give him his strongest Martial Skill. Presumably, Yin Zhijie had already planned to use it as his last trump card from the very beginning.

Therefore, as soon as Yin Zhijie changed his move, Jin Wuliang knew that things were going to go wrong. Therefore, he ditched Liu Xuan Ren and the centurions who were fighting with him and flew to stand between the two of them.

The might of Yan Nantian's self-created Southern Sky Sword naturally could not be underestimated. Even if Yin Zhijie's flames were not strong enough and he could only use one of "Sky Rain Star Fragment", its power was still very strong. A burning pain first appeared behind Jin Wuxian's back, then he heard the sound of his bones breaking, and then there was no longer any feeling.

Jin Wuxiang felt a sweet sensation in his heart, and he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood. He quickly circulated his Essence and forcefully suppressed the blood. If he vomited blood at this moment, it would undoubtedly mean that his injuries were serious. If that was the case, his side, which was originally at a disadvantage, might really die here.

With his back facing Yin Zhijie, Jin Wuyu secretly made a gesture to signal Li Sicong, who was still in a state of shock. Seeing that, Li Sicong immediately understood what Jin Wu Que meant. Thus, he hastily let out a whistle, turned around, and ran off into the distance without looking back.

After hearing Li Sicong's whistle, the people who were fighting with the Escort Regiment swept their opponents with a strong gust of wind, created from their vitality, almost at the same time. With that said, all of them ran in the direction Li Sicong had left in.

When Sun Xueshan saw that these people did not hesitate to dig out all the Natal Elemental Energy s that they had accumulated and knew that they wanted to escape, his confidence immediately soared. He shouted loudly, "Don't let them escape, chase them, don't let any one of them escape."

As soon as Sun Xueshan finished his sentence, Jin Wuyuan sneered and said, "How can it be so easy to chase him? Take this move of mine first."

As he stood in the way, the soft iron whip in his hand suddenly rotated at a high speed. As the iron whip rotated, countless golden specks of light burst out from the soft whip.

"What, you can actually burn Natal Elemental Energy!"

After Sun Xueshan exclaimed in shock, he hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, quickly retreat!"

As soon as Sun Xueshan finished his words, Jin Wuyu's soft iron whip suddenly burst open. The entire iron whip was like the scales shed by a giant python, turning into countless small pieces of iron.

The metal pieces, mixed with the golden light, suddenly shot towards the people from Divine Martial City.

Those metal pieces came quickly and densely, like a rain of gold, unable to be dodged at all. Those with Escort Regiment could only wave their swords to block, but many people were still pierced by the metal sheets. The power of those metal plates was astonishing. They could actually easily pass through a person's body before hitting another person.

When all of the golden rain drops had scattered onto the ground, at least a few of the people in Escort Regiment had already been pierced by the metal shards.

Among them, the most miserable one was Yin Zhijie. He was the closest to Jin Wuyu, and had the most metal pieces on him. The clothes on his body had long since been tattered into a pile of clothes hanging on his body. As for his body, it had already been dyed a bloody gourd. It was hard to tell where was injured and where was still intact.

The first thing Yin Zhijie thought of was to protect his face. Even though his face didn't look good, his body was in a miserable state. In the future, even if he recuperated, his entire body would be covered with scars.

After the golden light faded away, it turned to where Jin Wuyuan had been standing just a moment ago. There was still no sign of him now. The other weird-looking people had long since disappeared.

A centurion who was standing beside Sun Xueshan whispered to Sun Xueshan when he saw this scene, "Vice Commander, are we still going to chase him?"

Although the Centurion's voice was very low, the scene was abnormally quiet. His words were actually heard by everyone around them.

"Chase!" I must catch them all, I must cut them all into a thousand pieces! "

Without waiting for Sun Xueshan to speak, Yin Zhijie let out a heart-wrenching roar. However, his eyes rolled back as soon as he finished speaking and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Xuanren rushed forward to support him. Only after checking his breath and pulse did he say to everyone, "There's no danger to our lives. The Lord Commander was just furious and fainted for the time being."

After they heard what Liu Xuanren had to say, they turned their attention back to Sun Xueshan.

Although Yin Zhijie was acting as the temporary commander, his authority was no different from a commander's. Before he passed out, he had ordered them to chase him. That was a military order. If they disobeyed the military order, the consequences would be very serious. But in this situation, how were they going to chase after him and where were they going to go after him?

Of course, the others had no way of making a decision, so they could only hope that the vice commander, Sun Xueshan, would take the lead. After all, among the three deputy commanders, Sun Xueshan had always played the most important role.

Sun Xueshan knew that he was the only one who could make the decision at this time. Although this decision was a dilemma, whether it was chasing or retreating, the result would not be good. He would never do such a thankless task.

Sun Xueshan sighed. After looking around, he said helplessly, "Withdraw, return to the Divine Martial City. If the Lord Commander is to investigate this matter in the future, I will explain it to him."
