Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147: Today Is Your Death Day

Within the formation, Bai Xiaofan’s palm was surging with the power of the dragon, ready to fully merge with Murong Yue!

At this moment, Murong Yue’s primordial spirit had already awakened; he could sense it!

Just a little longer, three minutes, and Murong Yue’s awakened spirit would once again perfectly integrate with his physical body!

By then, Murong Yue would truly awaken!

However, fate doesn’t always align with one’s wishes!

At this critical last moment, an unexpected incident occurred!

A sudden gust of wind attacked, striking directly at Bai Xiaofan’s back!

In the instant the gust appeared, Bai Xiaofan sensed it, yet he chose not to dodge, but to take it head-on!

Poof!

A mouthful of blood splattered out; his already weakened body from rescuing Murong Yue suffered even more!

It wasn’t that Bai Xiaofan was being reckless, deliberately choosing not to dodge, but if he had dodged, Murong Yue would have been exposed to the attack.

Even in his prime, Murong Yue couldn’t withstand such a sudden assault, let alone now when his spirit and body were not fully fused!

As Bai Xiaofan continued transferring the power of the dragon into Murong Yue, he held Murong Yue with one arm, swiftly shifting sideways to look at the assailant behind him!

“General, you’re courting death!”

Facing the masked general with eyes glittering ominously, Bai Xiaofan shouted coldly!

Indeed, the one who suddenly attacked him was the very general he had fought before, who had vanished afterward!

Bai Xiaofan never expected that after their previous battle, this general had colluded with the Qi family brothers!

Under normal circumstances, Bai Xiaofan would fear nothing, but now, while having to channel the power of the dragon into Murong Yue, this sneak attack placed him in a severely disadvantageous position!

“Hehe, Bai Xiaofan, I know you’re very strong now. I alone might not be your opponent, but do you think I’m that foolish?”

The general sneered, gesturing with his hand, and immediately, over a dozen figures emerged.

Among them, Bai Xiaofan recognized their leader, Li Qiu, the subordinate of the deceased witch, who had escaped after last time’s battle in Wang family’s back hills!

Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, the general and Li Qiu appeared together!

“Bai Xiaofan, long time no see. Congratulations on killing the witch!”

Li Qiu arrived with followers, smiling smugly.

His hatred for the witch was no less intense than Bai Xiaofan’s!

Though the witch wasn’t killed by his own hand, learning of the witch’s demise by Bai Xiaofan had him celebrating, drunk with joy for three days and nights!

Hearing Li Qiu’s words, Bai Xiaofan made no response, instead concentrating on the group as he continued transferring the Jiaolong’s Inner Pellet power into Murong Yue!

Three minutes, just three more minutes, and the full power of the Jiaolong’s Inner Pellet would be transferred to Murong Yue, perfectly merging his spirit and body!

“Enough words with him, stop him from saving her!”

The general, seeing Bai Xiaofan silent, understood Bai Xiaofan was at a critical juncture, and shouted, charging at Bai Xiaofan first.

Li Qiu followed closely, along with the rest, brandishing their longswords!

Instantly, a dozen people lunged at Bai Xiaofan, with sword lights engulfing him as if to devour him!

Facing this net-like mesh of sword lights, Bai Xiaofan gritted his teeth, standing his ground without dodging, raising a palm to strike back!

As Bai Xiaofan’s palm struck out, the air around seemed to chill, a bone-cutting cold enveloping Li Qiu and his allies!

Yet, to Bai Xiaofan’s shock, this water-based artistic conception, which even intimidated dragons, had no effect on the general and Li Qiu; they merely flinched and continued their assault!

“Hehe, artistic conception power? Bai Xiaofan, you’re truly a prodigy. Alas, the Qi family brothers have gifted us protective artifacts; your artistic conception power cannot affect our spirit and cultivation, give it up!”

As if sensing Bai Xiaofan’s slight frown, the general laughed arrogantly, intensifying his attack!

Poof!

With the artistic conception power failing, Bai Xiaofan spat blood once more, being flung backward.

Meanwhile, sword marks spread across his body like a spider web.

Yet despite everything, Bai Xiaofan fiercely protected Murong Yue, ensuring she suffered no harm!

“Xiaofan, stop protecting me, kill them, I don’t want to see you hurt!”

In Bai Xiaofan’s mind rang Murong Yue’s voice!

Murong Yue’s spirit had fully awakened, aware of everything around.

Seeing Bai Xiaofan pale, spitting blood, and covered in sword scars, she worriedly spoke.

Bai Xiaofan wished to shield her, to keep her from harm, yet how could she bear to see Bai Xiaofan hurt?

Why else would she have risked herself, shielding Bai Xiaofan from the witch’s strike then!

“Xiaoyue, rest assured, this time I’ll protect you!”

Bai Xiaofan shouted low, cradling Murong Yue, retreating rapidly to create distance!

In less than two minutes, Murong Yue would be fine. By then, even if his inner energy depleted, he could confidently battle the general and Li Qiu!

However, the general and Li Qiu sensed his intentions and instantly pursued him, their longswords dogging him relentlessly!

“You can’t escape, today’s your death day, and not just you, Bai Qingcheng will die too, all connected to you will perish!”

The general grinned maliciously, thrusting his longsword towards Murong Yue!

Bai Xiaofan swung his left arm, a blade light appeared!

Clang!

A sound that could pierce eardrums echoed!

Following this, the general, driven by tremendous force, staggered back repeatedly, nearly spewing blood!

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaofan seized this opportunity to further distance himself!

Another minute, just hold out another minute, and victory would be his!

Yet, right then, an unexpected twist occurred!

“Xiaofan, watch out!”

Bai Qingcheng’s urgent voice reached out.

Soon after, a fierce palm strike headed towards Bai Xiaofan’s back!

In an instant, Bai Xiaofan’s heart sank, the power of this palm strike was impactful beyond measure!
