An Lin could tell that one of the voices calling him belonged to Xu Xiaolan.
His murky mind instantly regained a hint of clarity.
At this moment, the golden saber was already falling down upon him!
It was too fast for him to evade!
An Lin wanted to move, but he felt as if his entire body were filled with lead and his efforts were only met with an indescribable sense of agony.
Right at this moment, the Evil-Slaying Sword in his hand suddenly tremored violently as an inky-black divine light erupted forth.
"Hmm?" The Heavenly Wind God's expression shifted.
A round and chubby little girl replaced An Lin and held onto the Evil-Slaying Sword in his stead.
Was that a sword spirit? Even so, it was too late. An Lin's death was sealed!
The Heavenly Wind God's golden saber continued to fall.
Bam!
The Heavenly Wind God's head suddenly exploded!
The golden wind saber that was still falling from sheer momentum was also slapped away by the little girl.
A deathly silence ensued.
All of the immortals outside of the enchantment barrier, as well as all of the teachers, students, and the five emperors, stared blankly at the scenes unfolding before their eyes.
"L... Little Xie..."
An Lin was both shocked and elated as he called out the little girl's name with difficulty.
Never would he have thought that Little Xie would act on her own to save him in a dire situation like this!
"Vanquish the Heavens and Slay All Evil, Annihilation!" Little Xie spoke in her cold, tender voice as the Evil-Slaying Sword slashed down upon the Heavenly Wind God's body.
However, the Heavenly Wind God's headless body suddenly began to move even faster than the rate at which the Evil-Slaying Sword was falling.
It instantly clamped Little Xie's wrist in a vice-like grip before puncturing Little Xie's chest with its other hand as golden blades of wind wreaked havoc within Little Xie's body.
An Lin's heart throbbed with pain upon seeing this, and he cried out in a loud voice, "Little Xie!"
Little Xie's features were deathly pale as she turned to An Lin."Hurry up and..."
Bam!
Another explosion erupted.
The Heavenly Wind God slapped Little Xie into nothingness with a single hand.
An Lin felt as if he had fallen into a glacial river, and he glared at the Heavenly Wind God with boundless hatred and rage burning in his eyes.
Right at this moment, a pair of arms suddenly encircled his waist before taking him away from the Heavenly Wind God.
"Xu Xiaolan... l... let go of me! What are you doing here? I'm its target..." An Lin tried to struggle free from Xu Xiaolan's arms.
He was terrified. Terrified that Xu Xiaolan's actions would lead to her doom.
Only after facing the Heavenly Wind God could one truly understand just how terrifying it was.
Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips stubbornly with her arms firmly wrapped around An Lin's waist as she fled into the distance."I can't you let die before my eyes."
"This entire space has been isolated by the enchantment barrier, where can you take me?" An Lin struggled with difficulty."Let me go! I have to fight!"
Right at this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from behind them.
The Heavenly Wind God charged toward them. It was wielding the Evil-Slaying Sword, and it unleashed several hundred terrifying sword strikes in the blink of an eye.
Xu Xiaolan unleashed her mystic technique, and her body flashed through the air as she evaded the Heavenly Wind God's sword projections.
"I don't feel anything different when I use this sword. That's really strange, why is this trashy sword able to break through my powers of laws? Hehehe..."
The Heavenly Wind God waved his sword through the air as it spoke with a taunting expression.
In its eyes, Xu Xiaolan and An Lin were just two ants hanging on for their dear lives.
"Let me go! Let me go..." An Lin was still struggling.
Xu Xiaolan was already having a lot of trouble evading the Heavenly Wind God's attacks, and just as she was making a sharp turn, An Lin slipped out of her arms like a slippery eel and fell from the sky.
"Ah, An Lin!" Xu Xiaolan was given a huge fright and tried to catch him again, but her hands clutched at thin air.
An Lin had finally escaped from Xu Xiaolan's arms, only to discover that he was completely unable to move. His body was far too severely injured, and there just so happened to be a jagged rock protruding from the ground below him.
Thump!
The rock was shattered after a violent collision as blood splattered through the air.
An Lin lay on the ground like a dead fish.
All of the immortals, as well as the students and teachers, drew a sharp intake of breath upon seeing this.
Some were already crying out An Lin's name with tears in their eyes.
There was only one thought in their hearts. Was this the end of the mighty An Lin?
This was quite a valid possibility!
Even the Heavenly Wind God's body faltered slightly.
Just as An Lin was slipping away into unconsciousness, a clear voice finally sounded in his mind.
"Ding Dong!
"Detected that host is facing an extreme threat, are you willing to sacrifice a fifth of your life force? You will obtain unimaginable power as a result. The current lifespan has already been depleted by forty percent."
This system hack had finally appeared!
"I am, " An Lin replied almost without any hesitation.
In the next instant, his mind gradually regained clarity, and all of the injuries on his body almost instantaneously regenerated as three black marks appeared on his forehead.
An Lin stood up with a composed expression, and he slowly exhaled.
Everyone was dumbstruck upon seeing this, unable to work out what was going on.
However, Earth Immortal Yue Ying, Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan, and Xuanyuan Cheng were all looking at An Lin with complex expressions.
They saw An Lin use this type of power before.
"It's the third mark..." Xu Xiaolan's hands clenched into fists as she murmured to herself.
An Lin seemed to be able to detect Xu Xiaolan's emotions, and he turned to her with a warm smile."It's alright."
"No, it's not..." Xu Xiaolan couldn't repress her tears anymore."It's all my fault for accidentally dropping you..."
An Lin was a little speechless."I have to thank you for that. If the Heavenly Wind God continued to beat me up, I would have died before this power came out. Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Get far away from here, and I'll talk to you again in a minute."
Xu Xiaolan nodded obediently before flying into the distance.
"What's going on?"
The Celestial Thearch was completely perplexed at the sight of An Lin's miraculous recovery.
"I don't really understand either, but An Lin appears to be in a very special state. I can't sense his aura at all, but at the same time, he belongs there so perfectly..." The severely injured Emperor Ziwei was also confused.
A new head grew from the Heavenly Wind God's headless body.
It scratched its head as it looked down at An Lin."Did I hear that right? Are you implying that you'll be able to finish me in a minute?"
"Maybe only half a minute." An Lin stretched an arm forward, and the Evil-Slaying Sword tremored violently as it flew toward his hand.
The Heavenly Wind God was still holding tightly onto the Evil-Slaying Sword, and his body was also drawn to An Lin.
"Hahaha... What an ignorant, impudent ant! Have you still not figured it out? I am unkillable! As long as the Heavenly Dao exists, I will continue to live! You have no chance of ever defeating me!"
The Heavenly Wind God chortled with glee as it helped the Evil-Slaying Sword to hurtle even more quickly toward An Lin!
Ding...
A crisp ringing sounded.
An Lin extended a pair of fingers and clamped the Evil-Slaying Sword firmly between them.
The Heavenly Wind God's pupils shifted as an expression of incredulity appeared on its face.
Slap!
A resounding slap reverberated through the air.
The Heavenly Wind God received another vicious slap to the face.
Its body was almost completely vanquished by that slap alone!
