Jiang Ming protected Zhu An'an. However, his gaze fell on the battlefield.

"Mister, will those two guys be alright? That guy in armor seemed to be very powerful!"

Zhu An'an had a worried look on her face. Although she was young, she had followed Lin Changshan for many years and had a good understanding of the various major powers and cultivation systems. Naturally, she knew what kind of person Zuo Yan was.

He was a Golden Core Realm cultivator!

Even though he was only in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, his combat strength was unimaginably powerful and terrifying.

Wu Hen and Ying Sha were merely Void Core Realm cultivators. Even if they joined forces, they were still no match for a Golden Core Realm cultivator. If time dragged on, something might happen to the two of them.

Jiang Ming naturally saw it more clearly. Wu Hen's lungs were already injured, and he definitely would not be able to hold on for long.

Ying Sha revealed his true form, transforming into a Dark Water Demonic Snake, but he still found it difficult to suppress Zuo Yan.

"The gap between the Void Core Realm and the Golden Core Realm is too big. No wonder there are so many top geniuses in the Feather Kingdom. They all claim to be invincible in the same realm. However, there are almost no rumors of those top geniuses challenging Golden Core Realm cultivators."

Jiang Ming secretly cursed in his heart, then patted Zhu An'an's head and smiled. "Don't worry. With me around, they won't die."

The reason why he did not choose to attack was not because he was afraid of Zuo Yan or the pursuers behind him, but because he wanted to temper Wu Hen and Ying Sha's combat power.

One had to know that as he grew stronger, it was also time for the two of them to choose to break through.

Jiang Ming had planned to refine the pills for the two of them to break through to the Golden Core Realm. However, he found that there were many pills for the Golden Core Realm in Holy Son Gu Chi's storage ring. The grades were not low either. As expected of the Holy Son, he was richer than the immortal cultivation forces in the Feather Kingdom.

Boom!

An explosion sounded out as waves of flames curled up in front of him. At this moment, Ying Sha was wrapped in a ball of flames. He subconsciously wailed and quickly transformed back into his human form.

At this moment, Jiang Ming immediately shouted, "If you don't choose to break through now, when will you?"

Although the two of them were defeated, the effect of honing their combat strength and consolidating their foundation had already been achieved. It was the best opportunity to choose to advance to the Golden Core realm.

Hearing this, Wu Hen and Ying Sha's eyes lit up. They each took out a few medicinal pills, causing people to be involuntarily surprised.

"What a rich pill fragrance!"

Zuo Yan's nose twitched a few times at first. After discovering the breakthrough pills in Wu Hen and Ying Sha's hands, that expression became especially fascinating.

"This is the Ancient Kingdom Breakthrough Pill! Damn it! How did you bastards get a pill of this grade? Could it be?"

At this moment, Zuo Yan seemed to have thought of something and immediately revealed a shocked expression.

Damn it, were these three fellows from the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land?

If that was the case, the Zhao family really could not afford to offend them!

When Ying Sha heard this, his eyes immediately rolled. He was about to open his mouth to agree. However, he did not expect Wu Hen to speak first, "We're not from the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land. If you want to attack, then attack!"

Wu Hen's blood boiled.

After taking the pill, his aura became stronger. He needed a battle to digest the medicinal power and condense his aura so that he could step into the Golden Core Realm.

However, this scene seemed like suicide in Ying Sha's eyes.

"Wu Hen, are you f*cking crazy? We're breaking through now, don't tell me you're going to fight that man while breaking through? You're completely courting death!"

Ying Sha had never expected Wu Hen to be so arrogant.

Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world did not dare choose to break through while fighting. It was way too dangerous!

Ying Sha felt a wave of mental exhaustion. Ever since he had followed these two fellows, his worldview had been constantly refreshed, and his state of mind had also been constantly tormented.

Wu Hen ignored him and shouted loudly. The spear in his hand turned into a white streak of light and he charged toward Zuo Yan like a raging dragon.

"You're courting death!"

Zuo Yan was furious.

This was simply condescending!

Zuo Yan immediately brandished his long sword and wanted to kill Wu Hen. In the end, he was forcefully blocked.

"What?! I clearly used two thirds of my strength in this move. Even an ordinary early-stage Golden Core Realm expert would have to dodge it. However, this kid chose to take it head-on. And he successfully withstood it?"

Zuo Yan felt that his brain was about to explode. He was really furious.

However, he did not intend to continue this stalemate. Instead, he chose to attack step by step.

At this moment, Zuo Yan no longer used ordinary sword techniques and directly activated the Sword of Slaughter.

Unlike ordinary sword techniques, the Sword of Slaughter carried waves of killing aura. It was created for attacking and killing. Immediately, layers of sharp sword Qi erupted, wanting to pierce through Wu Hen's chest and grind his bones into dust.

Wu Hen avoided quite a number of attacks. However, he could not withstand the lethal sword Qi that erupted from Zuo Yan, which was too dense. In the end, he was hit by a few of the attacks, and he took a few steps back as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The ground was completely dyed red.

"Wu Hen, let me help you!"

Ying Sha could not stand it anymore. Although he was also breaking through and should not be participating in the battle, Wu Hen would definitely die if this continued.

The full moon pierced through the sky, and the scimitar struck out!

This was Ying Sha's famous secret technique, and also a great lethal weapon that had accompanied him for many years. He had long reached the level of becoming one with the blade.

This step was also known as the Minute Subtlety Realm!

"You haven't even reached the Golden Core Realm. However, you've already reached the fifth level of the Minute Subtlety Realm."

Jiang Ming was surprised.

Unlike people like him who did not cultivate any techniques and only focused on cultivation, most cultivators in the world still focused on cultivation as internal energy and then cultivated external energy to kill and protect themselves.

The cultivation of these offensive techniques was also divided into stages. The lowest stage was the entry stage, and the highest was the peak stage.

Most Qi Refinement Realm cultivators cultivated ordinary offensive techniques, and reaching the peak of that realm was the limit.

The offensive methods of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were definitely more advanced. For example, the grade of this scimitar was not bad. It was normal for it to be cultivated to perfection.

However, if one wanted to take a step further and step into the Minute Subtlety Realm, one's aptitude was good. If one wanted to reach the fifth level of the Minute Subtlety Realm, it would be even more difficult. Many Golden Core Realm cultivators might not be able to reach this level.
