Beauty and the Bodyguard

"You just realized?" Leng Leng's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. It was normal for others to not be able to react in time. After all, jadeskin had appeared so many times in the ancient martial world. However, Xue Jianfeng was a true disciple of the snow sword sect. It took him so long to recognize his sect's martial arts technique. He was really slow to a certain level.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Jadeskin had been destroyed long ago! Where did you get the martial skill manual?" Xue Jianfeng was still in disbelief.

It was not unreasonable for him to be so certain. He had once tried to cultivate the icy skin and jadeskin, and he had even paid a lot of money for it. Unfortunately, he later found out that he had no talent in this area at all, so in a fit of anger, he destroyed half of the manual. Fortunately, his father, who was the Deputy sect leader of the sect, had covered it up without anyone knowing. Otherwise, he would have been severely punished by the sect.

Without even a martial arts manual, how could he possibly cultivate it successfully?

"Is that any of your business?" She hmphed coldly. Her manuals indeed didn't come from a sect, but from Lin Yi. In the collection of Arts that Wang Xinyan and the others sent over, most of the sects only had introductory Arts and basic martial arts bought from the black market, but a few sects had almost all the arts and martial arts, like the snow sword sect that Wei shenjin was in.

Since Leng Leng had already mastered the two powerful skills, she wouldn't be thinking of breaking through to the Golden core stage in a short time. So, in the last month before the test started, she spent most of her time and energy on her new skills-the jadeskin that Lin Yi had picked out for her.

Strictly speaking, her [ice Shatterer] physique did not fully meet the requirements of [jadeskin]. She could not use it in a very short time like [ground prison] and [ice prison mirror Shatterer], but the compatibility was still above 80%. So, she had finally made some small progress in the past month, and now it came in handy.

"Good, good, good! So what if you have jadeskin? It's just a little more durable. Other than speeding up the consumption of your remaining physical strength and true Qi, you can't hurt me at all. What's the use!" Xue Jianfeng sneered.

Although he was trying to comfort himself, what he said was true. Jadeskin was only a defensive martial skill, and it did not have any offensive properties. At most, it could only make Leng Leng more resistant to attacks, but it could not change the situation.

However, Leng Leng had never hoped to defeat Xue Jianfeng-that was unrealistic. She just wanted to stall him and buy time for Lingshan and the others to escape. So far, her plan had succeeded.

It was almost time! Leng Leng's breathing had become heavy. If she wanted to hold Xue Jianfeng back, it was not enough to just rely on jadeskin. She also had to get close to him and use instant strike. Both of these were extremely taxing on her true Qi. In addition, she had already used up a lot of it before. Holding on for half an incense's time was her limit. If she continued, she would be exhausted.

Leng Leng took a deep breath and forced snow Jianfeng to retreat again. She then turned around and fled without hesitation.

"Hehe, aren't you too naïve to think that you can escape at this time?" Xue Jianfeng laughed coldly as he caught up. Leng Leng's speed wasn't considered slow, but the difference in strength between them was obvious. Unless she had Lin Yi's movement technique, it was almost impossible to lose her.

In the blink of an eye, Leng Leng's back was hit by a palm. Although she had used jadeskin to dissipate most of the power, she still spat out a mouthful of blood. However, she did not stop at all. Instead, she used the force of the palm to escape even faster.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can be a coward!" Xue Jianfeng had completely forgotten about song Lingshan and the others. To be precise, he didn't care about these people at all. The only person he had to get rid of was this Leng Leng!

In less than a year's time, she had advanced from the early stage of the foundation building realm to the great circle of the foundation building realm. Moreover, she had also mastered powerful moves such as painting the ground as a prison and ice prison mirror Shatterer. Now, she had even mastered the ice skin jadeskin. She was actually able to cross an entire realm and deal with him for so long. The potential that Leng Leng had displayed was simply too terrifying.

As proud and arrogant as snow, Jianfeng had to admit that if he continued to let things be, he might be trampled under coold's feet one day. It was better to kill her in the cradle now!

With a flash of cold light, Xue Jianfeng immediately unsheathed his sword. Leng Leng only felt a chill on her back, and the back of her heart was immediately stabbed, causing blood to spurt out.

"He didn't die?" Xue Jianfeng was stunned as he looked at Leng Leng who was still running away. He was not just putting on an act. He had used all his strength, but he did not expect that he would only leave a small wound on her back. The defense of jadeskin was indeed amazing!

"Again! I'd like to see how many times you can block my sword!" Xue Jianfeng mocked.

At this point, Xue Jianfeng no longer concealed his killing intent. It was a pity to kill such a beautiful woman like Leng Leng, but he could always find more beautiful women. However, if he allowed Leng Leng to grow up, it would be his own life that would be in danger.

The two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, crossed dozens of miles of dense forest in less than a moment. At this time, Leng Leng's back was already drenched in blood, with more than a dozen wounds of various sizes. She was only able to hold on with her jadeskin. Otherwise, these wounds would all be transparent holes, and she would have died a long time ago.

Even so, Leng Leng was already on the verge of collapse. Not only was she bleeding profusely from the dozen or so wounds, but her physical strength and true Qi were also reaching their limits.

"Soon! Soon! It should be not far ahead!" Leng Leng kept brainwashing herself along the way. This was the only way she could force herself to not fall. She had just passed by this place yesterday. However, at that time, she had sensed an unusually powerful spirit beast's aura here, so they did not dare to approach rashly. In the end, they carefully went around it. Now, this unknown powerful spirit beast had become her only chance of survival.

She had to think of a way to alert this unknown spirit beast and make it target Xue Jianfeng. This was the only way for Leng Leng to escape this calamity. There was no other way.

"What?" Xue Jianfeng quickly noticed the abnormality. As a master in the great circle of the gold core realm, his perception range was naturally much larger than Leng Leng 's. With a thought, he immediately understood Leng Leng's intention. He no longer cared about anything else and jumped high into the air. A huge white sword light fell from the sky silently. This was the strongest move he had mastered at the moment, one sword descends the nine Heavens!

The shadow of death instantly enveloped Leng Leng. This was the most powerful attack of a master in the great circle of the Golden core stage. Not to mention that she was seriously injured and at the end of her life, even if she was in her peak state, she would not be able to withstand it and would die without a doubt.
