With just one move, Mei Ruohua was sent flying by Zhou Shenjiang.

Like a kite with a broken string, she crashed heavily into the huge rock standing beside her, which resembled a small mountain. Immediately afterward, she felt a sweet taste in her throat and vomited a mouthful of blood. The bright red blood splattered on the ground, a shocking sight.

At this moment, the Fifth Elder and the others saw that the situation was out of control. They were filled with fear and panic, and were so frightened that they were ready to slip away in order to save their lives.

Only the Second Elder, Yelü Hong, did not hesitate or back down at all. Like a brave lion, he pounced on the injured Mei Ruohua without hesitation and quickly pulled her up.

"Valley Master, you go first, I'll hold them off!"

Yelü Hongsheng roared

However, if even someone as skilled as Mei Ruohua couldn't withstand Zhou Shenjiang's fierce attacks, how could Yelü Hong possibly resist them?

He let Mei Ruohua go first, which was undoubtedly at the cost of his own life to give Mei Ruohua a chance to live!

"Yelü Hong, I misunderstood you before. You can't stop them at all. You should leave and go find Fang Han right away!"

Although Mei Ruohua was a strong woman, at this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, which were about to burst out at any moment.

Of the nine elders of the Divine Doctor Valley, the one she disliked the most was the Second Elder, Yelü Hong.

Yelü Hong was a straightforward person who often said things that did not suit her tastes. When he offered advice, he was ruthless and often put her in an awkward position.

Even when she insisted on avenging Elder Yun Zhilan this time, ignoring everyone's advice and determined to find Fang Han, Yelü Hong also tried his best to stop her and argued with her.

If it weren't for the fact that Yelü Hong had the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage, she would have wanted to remove Yelü Hong from his position as elder long ago to vent her hatred.

But what she never expected was that she had almost been killed by Fang Han earlier, and at that critical moment, it was Yelü Hong who stepped forward and pleaded for her life.

Moreover, Yelü Hong, with his wisdom and insight, basically predicted that Yun Zhilan had done something that angered both heaven and man, which was why Fang Han asked her to apologize after killing her.

If she had listened to Yelü Hong this time and hadn't acted so impulsively, this situation wouldn't have happened today.

She knew that the experts of the Divine Doctor Valley were almost all wiped out today, and if she and several elders died, the Divine Doctor Valley would probably have a hard time surviving.

She could understand why the other elders wanted to escape to save their lives when they saw the situation was not good.

After all, in this dog-eat-dog world full of dangers, how many people can truly be fearless and undaunted by death?

But when she told Yelü Hong to run, he took the initiative to come and save her. This kindness and sense of responsibility filled her with emotion, and all the past grievances and hatred vanished in that moment.

"I'm not leaving."

Yelü Hong disobeyed Mei Ruohua's orders. His eyes were like torches as he stared intently at Zhou Shenjiang, who was attacking again. He gripped his long sword tightly with both hands and charged forward without hesitation.

He had only one thought in his mind: to stop Zhou Shenjiang and buy Mei Ruohua that precious time to escape, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

"You're asking for it."

When Zhou Shenjiang saw that Yelü Hong dared to obstruct him, he shouted loudly and swung his long sword. A sharp sword aura slashed out like lightning, tearing through the air and making a sharp whistling sound.

Yelü Hong was not afraid at all and suddenly unleashed a blade of energy in an attempt to block Zhou Shenjiang's sword energy.

Although the blade energy was fierce, it appeared so small and fragile in the face of Zhou Shenjiang's incomparably domineering sword energy.

Even knowing he was no match for her, Yelü Hong showed no sign of backing down. He had only one belief in his heart: to fight with all his might to buy time for Mei Ruohua.

"don't want!"

Seeing that Zhou Shenjiang's sword energy was extremely domineering and powerful, Mei Ruohua was immediately anxious and shouted loudly.

She knew in her heart that Yelü Hong was no match for this old man in a single round, and that with this sword strike, Yelü Hong would surely meet a grim fate.

As expected, Yelü Hong's sword energy shattered instantly under the impact of Zhou Shenjiang's sharp sword energy, as if it were made of paper.

However, General Zhou's sword energy remained incredibly sharp, like a ferocious beast, sweeping towards Yelü Hong.

Yelü Hong only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes; the sword energy came too fast for him to react at all.

Once he is struck by Zhou Shenjiang's sword energy, there is almost no chance of survival; he will surely die.

Yelü Hong inwardly cried out in alarm, realizing that he was truly doomed this time.

But at that moment, a figure flashed, and Mei Ruohua pounced over like lightning, pushing him away with all her might.

Yelü Hong felt a tremendous force strike him, and his body was involuntarily sent flying, just managing to escape the range of Zhou Shenjiang's sword energy.

Although he fell heavily to the ground, fortunately, he was not seriously injured.

Mei Ruohua was not so lucky. Although she tried to dodge the sword energy, her leg was still hit by it.

The sword energy was like a sharp blade, instantly slicing through her skin.

Blood gushed out from her thigh immediately.

"Valley Master!"

Yelü Hong cried out in a hoarse voice, filled with endless sorrow and grief.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with terror and despair. His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, causing him so much pain that he could hardly breathe.

His body was trembling uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, the Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, Overlord Elder, and Ninth Elder were anxiously trying to escape this terrifying place.

They had only run a few meters when they felt an overwhelming, suffocating aura rushing towards them like a surging tide.

Then, another divine general, Cao Hai, stood like a towering mountain in front of them, radiating a chilling aura.

This middle-aged General Cao had a cold and stern face, and his eyes were like lightning, as if he could see through people's souls.

He didn't even make a move; he simply focused his mind, and his boundless divine sense swept out like a surging wave, instantly enveloping the four elders of the Divine Doctor Valley.

The four elders felt an invisible force pressing down on them like a thousand-pound boulder, making it hard for them to breathe.

Their bodies went limp uncontrollably, and with a thud, they all knelt on the ground. Their knees slammed heavily against the hard ground, but they felt no pain, for at that moment, their hearts were filled only with endless fear.

"General Cao, please, don't kill us..."

These four guys were already terrified, their faces as pale as paper, and large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads like raindrops, soaking their clothes.
