Chapter 1440 - 421: Taoist Friend Zhou, Save Me! I Am Yu Yan!

And almost simultaneously, that ghostly giant hand suddenly accelerated, accompanied by a piercing sound as it rushed forward.

Before the giant hand even arrived, its terrifying oppressive force already broke all the ancient trees along its path.

Yu Yan’s clothes on her back tore open with a "rip," and countless blood marks instantly appeared on her snow-white skin.

She despairingly closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them again, biting her silver teeth, and prepared to forcibly rip through space.

Even if she were to be shredded by a space storm or fall into the Endless Void, it was better than being caught and tormented by Yama!

But just as she used all her strength and a thread of space fluctuation gathered at her fingertips, a figure suddenly appeared behind her!

"Boom——!!"

Zhou Qing’s right hand erupted with thunder, a dazzling flash of Thunder Light condensed in his palm, descending like divine punishment, colliding harshly with the giant black fog hand!

In an instant, the world lost its color!

A violent energy storm swept out, the ancient trees within a hundred feet turned to dust in an instant, the ground collapsed, and space twisted!

Zhou Qing then used this terrifying recoil force to grab Yu Yan’s slender waist and retreat at lightning speed!

Yu Yan’s breath was faint, her consciousness blurred, only feeling a powerful arm holding her, wind whistling by her ear.

She struggled to open her eyes, in her blurred vision she only saw a cold bronze mask and those deep eyes like an abyss.

"You..."

She couldn’t believe it, this person actually saved her.

"Can you hold on?" Zhou Qing lowered his voice, a hoarse middle-aged male voice coming from beneath the mask.

This voice made Yu Yan’s pupils shrink suddenly.

She was too familiar with it—it was clearly the voice of "Master Qingzhou", or more precisely, Master Zhou Qing, who should currently be at the Shen Family!

How could he appear here?

Zhou Qing was also helpless; the Nascent Soul Amplification Technique from his second uncle, combined with the strange bead given by the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng, made it impossible for him to restore his original appearance or change his voice.

Otherwise, he could have met Shen Hanyi with his real face in the great hall back then.

"I can!" Yu Yan replied, barely supporting herself, a trace of fresh blood again flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Courting death!"

A furious roar from Yama came from behind.

Amidst the surging black fog, a long knife entwined with ghostly aura came slicing through the air, and where the blade passed, even the air was corroded, hissing with white smoke.

Zhou Qing’s arm shook, gently tossing Yu Yan to a safe zone a hundred feet away, then turned to confront the enemy.

This time, with his second uncle backing him, he had no more scruples. This time Yama must die!

"Boom!"

Zhou Qing erupted with dazzling Purple Gold Thunder Light, appearing like a Thunder God descending into the world.

Tetanus instantly appeared in his hand; the thunder and Sword Qi perfectly fused, transforming into a shocking long rainbow attacking Yama directly!

"Clang——!"

At the moment the blade and sword collided, time seemed to stand still.

Then——

"Rumble!"

Amid the deafening sound of the explosion, the violent Spiritual Power storm spread in a ring, countless stones were swept into the sky, then turned into dust in the chaotic Spiritual Power currents.

In the distance, Yu Yan landed staggeringly, quickly taking out an Elixir to consume.

Looking at the figure standing against Yama, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

The last time Zhou Qing rescued her cousin, because of concern for Taiqing Sect, he didn’t dare to reveal his identity.

Now, he had hidden his name and infiltrated the Shen Family, surely having significant matters at hand, yet he had been drawn into conflict again to save her.

"I must recover my fighting strength quickly!" She gritted her teeth, taking out three Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and made Sealing gestures with her hands to cast a forbidden art of the Yu Race called "Green Spirit Return to Origin Art."

The Spirit Stones dimmed visibly, while her face, pale as paper, finally began to show some traces of blood color.

Unfortunately, her cousin and Bai Xiang had already left the Fifth Tail region, and she couldn’t contact them; otherwise, she wouldn’t be in such a dire situation.

What chilled her even more was that the message from her cousin Yuzhu turned out to be a meticulously planned death trap.

If not for the life-saving item given by the clan she carried, she would have already fallen to Yama’s murderous hand.

"It’s not fast enough!" Feeling the increasingly intense battle fluctuations in the distance, she took out two more Top-Grade Earth Attribute Spirit Stones and began to absorb frantically...

At this moment, Zhou Qing and Yama were standing in the air against each other, the space between them twisted and trembled from the collision of Spiritual Power.

Yama wielded a pitch-black long blade, the blade wrapped in sinister Evil Qi, as if countless lost souls were wailing on the blade’s edge.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes boiling with murderous intent: "You concealed entity, since you dare to interfere, leave your life behind!"

Zhou Qing remained silent, Tetanus in his hand humming with tremors, the sword blade entwining with Purple Gold Thunderbolt, electric arcs jumping, even burning the air with a scorched smell.

"Boom——!"

Yama struck first, horizontally cutting with the long blade, a pitch-black blade light tore through the sky, withering the grass and trees and breaking the ground where it passed, as if even life was extinguished by this slice!

Zhou Qing’s figure flickered, advancing instead of retreating, the Broken Sword wielding the force of thunder stabbed straight out!

"Clang——!"

The collision of blade and sword erupted with a piercing metallic vibrato, and the Spiritual Power storm exploded instantly.

A look of surprise flashed in Yama’s eyes. This slice carried the "Eternal Night" realm, ordinary cultivators would perish upon touching it, yet this person before him could resist without retreating!

Moreover, that broken and rusty sword in the opponent’s hand, after clashing with his Black Prison Demon Blade, didn’t even leave a nick.

"Some skill! No wonder you play the hero rescuing the beauty!" Yama sneered.

His side glance caught Yu Yan in the distance, who did not take the opportunity to escape but was instead focused on healing, putting his mind at ease.

This familiar scene involuntarily reminded him of the last time he ambushed Zhao Muye.

At that time, too, a masked guy suddenly charged in, and instead of fleeing for his life, Zhao Muye chose to stay and fight side by side.

"No wonder they are cousins, in this world, only by staying alive can one have the opportunity to do other things..."
