Surprise

The instant the young girl turned her attention away from her, Xu Yue instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, causing her face, which had become pale, to return to its natural color once again.

Suddenly, though, the eyes of the apostle suddenly widened, as she now stared towards the formation with an enraged look on her face.

Without saying anything, the Apostle began flying towards a certain spot on the formation using its fastest speed, but sadly, it was too slow.

Seeing this, Xu Yue, as well as Ye Feng, who had just arrived, flew towards the apostle at their fastest speed, trying their best to delay whatever it was trying to do.

The two of them could sadly not catch up to the apostle, but this did not actually matter, as under the apostle's angry eyes, a tiny drop of water suddenly smashed into the formation with incredibly power.

The moment the drop of water touched the nearly indestructible formation, the latter shattered, allowing the drop of water to immediately try to dodge the attacks of the angry Apostle.

But although the drop of water was extremely fast, compared to the apostle, which had previously been a True Immortal, it was still too slow, causing it to struggle to dodge the attacks.

If not for the fact that Xu Yue and Ye Feng had arrived in the nick of time and attacked the Apostle, causing it to dodge, the drop of water would have probably been greatly injured.

In just a few moments, Xu Yue, Ye Feng, as well as the drop of water silently retreated away from the apostle.

"I really didn't expect you to come out of your nest," mumbled Xu Yue, speaking with Ye Feng whilst she continued staring at the little girl with caution filling her eyes.

Hearing this, Ye Feng shook her head as she continued staring at the Apostle.

"This isn't the time for jokes, we might have taken her by surprise for now, but don't underestimate her, it will probably be extremely difficult to just delay her until the other battles are finished, let alone defeat her," said Ye Feng as the tiny water drop that was standing next to her suddenly transformed into an old woman.

Of course, this was the Primordial Water Drop, who had once again come out of her prison now that the Heavenly Dao was busy dealing with some other things.

Hearing the words of this Phoenix, the Primordial Water Drop couldn't help but click her teeth.

"That's true, but it seems as though we have reinforcements coming our way soon enough," mumbled the old woman as she, Xu Yue and Ye Feng all flashed away and dodged an attack from the apostle.

Hearing this, both Ye Feng and Xu Yue nodded, but even so, all three of them felt sweat fall down their forehead as they did their best to dodge the attacks of the apostle.

At the moment, the three of them had to maintain a fragile balance, not being so close that the apostle can attack them, but not so far so that she can focus on a single one of them.

After all, all of them knew that they would most likely die after fighting the apostle alone.

But as this battle continued this way, with the three of them dodging strike after strike, Xu Yue couldn't help but have a bad feeling, causing the hair on her neck to suddenly stand up straight.

Without any warning, fate suddenly shifted in Xu Yue's favor as a pale look appeared on her face.

Xu Yue will be able to dodge the attack, the attack will miss.

This is what fate and destiny told would happen, but as the Apostle suddenly sped up being her original speed and let out a punch towards her, Xu Yue knew that fate would not be of much help.

Xu Yue manipulation of fate only managed to slow down the attack somewhat for just a few brief moments, but under the tremendous power of a True Immortal, fate was nearly helpless.

Even though two attacks from Ye Feng and the Primordial Water Drop were about to land on her body, the Apostle did not stop her attack on Xu Yue.

Suddenly, a Boundless Ocean appeared behind Xu Yue, blocking the attack for just a few moments, allowing Xu Yue to somewhat move, and the attacks of Ye Feng and the Primordial Water Drop to land, which slowed down the Apostle even more, giving Xu Yue even more time to dodge.

Without any warning, a sword suddenly appeared behind the apostle, and threatened to pierce her chest.

At this moment, the Apostle finally felt a hint of danger, which caused her to retract her punch and temporarily retreat.

A moment later, Xu Yue's eyes suddenly lit up as she saw who was the one to have launched that attack.

'Hao Xifeng, she should be tied up protecting the Origin Sword Sect, how could she have the time to come here?' thought the Apostle as she stared at Hao Xifeng with a look of doubt on her face.

Of course, even though Hao Xifeng was extremely powerful amongst False Immortals, the Apostle was still confident that she could take the now group of four down.

But compared to this, she was a little bit more worried about what happened to the cultivators that were besieging the Origin Sword Sect.

Of course, the Apostle did not have much time to think about this, as she had to continue fighting.

Without any warning though, Hao Xifeng, Xu Yue, Ye Feng, as well as the Primordial Water Drop suddenly felt the threat of death.

At a speed far beyond that of the Apostle, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared behind Xu Yue and stretched out his hand towards her.

As he did so, an enormous hand suddenly appeared around the group, which was now seemingly frozen.

...

The moment the middle-aged man appeared behind Xu Yue, a faint smile appeared on the face of Yang Bing, who was hiding nearby.

'Got you,' thought Yang Bing as she instantly appeared behind the man and stabbed her sword towards the back of his head.

Sensing the sword, the middle-aged man immediately retracted his hand and began dodging the strike, knowing that he would not only die, but he would not even be able to kill his target if he continued.

Before the man could dodge any further, though, a sword suddenly appeared in Yang Bing's left hand, which she then promptly used to cut up the space around both her and the man.

And then, after just a tiny push from Yang Bing, both her and the man suddenly disappeared.
