“Who are you?”
Helen asked in a cold voice as a cold sensation appeared on her neck.
Who would have thought that someone would be able to sneak up on her completely without her detection? Just how powerful would her assailant have to be?
She immediately came to the conclusion that her enemy was a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure!
“That’s not important. Release them at once!”
The man spoke in a voice as cold as the light shimmering from his Evil-Slaying Sword.
Ada’s eyes suddenly widened as she stared blankly at the man standing behind Helen.
Jin Ling and Jin Yao were also completely dumbstruck and had even forgotten to struggle.
Jin Yao blinked repeatedly to verify that her eyes were not playing tricks on her before tears instantly welled up in her eyes. “Waah… Holy Leader, is that you?!”
“An Lin?” Jin Ling murmured with incredulity.
An Lin: “…”
He was trying to pass himself off as a mysterious powerful being, but his plans had been completely foiled.
Helen shuddered upon hearing this, and her abyssal, inky-black eyes contracted drastically.
An Lin’s Evil-Slaying Sword suddenly fell at this moment. He had chosen this moment where Helen had been taken by surprise upon hearing his identity. Her split second of stunned inactivity could spell mortal danger!
The Evil-Slaying Sword was a divine tool, and as such, it was insanely sharp.
Helen managed to react and set up a defensive barrier, but her defenses were instantly sliced apart by the Evil-Slaying Sword, and her head was also lopped off as a result!
Blood splattered through the air.
Helen’s head also flew through the air with an expression of astonishment frozen upon it.
Before An Lin had a chance to do anything else, he suddenly heard three pained moans.
The triplets who had been ensnared by Helen’s inky-black sleeve all threw up blood at the same time. The sleeve had materialized hundreds of sharp blades that had punctured their bodies!
An Lin immediately unleashed his Holy Vermilion Flame to burn the sleeve into nothingness.
Ada, Jin Ling, and Jin Yao all fell to the ground with puncture wounds all over their bodies.
“Are you alright?” An Lin’s expression shifted, and he immediately unleashed a healing spell technique upon the triplets. He was not expecting Helen to have something like this up her sleeve.
All three of the triplets had severely diminished life forces, having clearly endured brutal torture prior to this. In their severely weakened state, those puncture wounds could quite possibly kill them.
“Don’t worry about us, Holy Leader. You have to watch out for Helen…” Ada spoke through gritted teeth.
An Lin seemed to have sensed something, and he turned toward the place where Helen’s body was situated, only to find that there was only a puddle of blood left.
A black shadow appeared over a kilometer away in the blink of an eye.
Helen’s features were a little pale, and she stared at An Lin with an extremely grave expression. “Return to Void Stage energy fluctuations, but Dao Integration Stage power. An Lin, you… you really are An Lin!”
Many of the other cultivators on the battlefield had also noticed this new arrival.
Many of the young cultivators were still at a complete loss even after seeing An Lin, but those who had lived for over a hundred years trembled as they stared at that familiar man.
This was the legendary prodigy who had once dominated every single headline of the Tai Chu Continent’s media. It was as if he had traveled through space and time and was alive again!
“Are my eyes playing tricks on me? He… An Lin?”
“White robe, inky-black sword, and that familiar face… There’s no mistaking it, that’s him alright!”
“How could this be…”
There had already been many surprises today. The Heavenly Human Tribe had mobilized their entire army to crush them once and for all, only for a bunch of top-rate powerful beings to provide reinforcements and save them from what was surely certain death.
But now, even a dead person was coming back to life to help them? Surely there was a limit to how blessed they could be!
Countless cultivators were completely and utterly astonished.
Even the Blood Tribe and Void Spirit Tribe living beings were given a fright.
An Lin was once renowned across the entire continent.
He was especially intimidating to the Blood Tribe powerful beings.
After all, An Lin had once flipped their entire holy land on its head! He led a bunch of top-rate Return to Void Stage mighty figures in an astonishing mass betrayal, before defeating two emperors and several dozen Return to Void Stage mighty figures… Even now, chills ran down their spines when they thought about it.
“It can’t be him! He died a hundred years ago! Dead people can’t be resurrected!” a Blood Tribe powerful being yelled in denial, almost as if he was just trying to alleviate the horror in his heart.
Emperor Chang Sheng’s slightly dull eyes had completely lit up again upon seeing An Lin, and his entire body trembled with excitement.
“An… An Lin? Is that you?” Emperor Chang Sheng’s trembling voice was a little hoarse, and he wore an expression of incredulity.
An Lin turned around upon hearing this, and he looked up at the cultivators with a smile as warm as spring sunshine. “It’s me. I’m back.”
I’m back…
Those words hadn’t been spoken in a loud voice, but it reached the ears of all of the millions of cultivators on the city wall.
It really was him! He really was back!
It was as if a ball of flames had erupted in everyone’s heart.
This man who had created countless miracles was now adding a new miracle to his extensive resume by coming back from the dead! Everyone suddenly felt as if anything was possible with him here!
After all, An Lin specialized in transforming the impossible into the possible!
“He’s the true sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect?”
“Sect Leader An Lin has already jumped out from his coffin to fight for us, what reason do we have to cower and back down?”
“He’s our role model! We can’t allow ourselves to be left too far behind!”
“Charge…”
“Charge!”
All of the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army cultivators were reinvigorated once again, and they began to launch a spirited counterattack.
“Hahaha…” Emperor Chang Sheng let loose a hearty laugh before unleashing the power of his formation to destroy the Blood Tribe and Void Spirit Tribe cultivators on the city wall.
Emperor Bei Xing was engaged in battle with the Starfire Battleship, and Helen had been knocked back by An Lin. As such, his only real opponent was Yi Deng now, and he could finally catch his breath.
“So what if you’re back? Even if you resurrect yourself, I can just make you die again!” Empress Helen stepped forward and charged toward An Lin.
Her power of the divine dao repaired her tattered sleeve, and both of her sleeves shot through the air toward An Lin at an extremely fast speed.
Helen’s attack was very fast, but An Lin was already thoroughly prepared. In the instant before Helen unleashed her attack, he had activated his Origin Energy of the Netherworld, Fire God Mode, and Star Vein Divine Technique at the same time, and his eyes also became snowy white.
He evaded Helen’s attacks through the use of exquisite movement techniques before unleashing his Wind Sword to launch an attack of his own.
Helen stamped her foot into the ground, and inky-black ripples erupted forth, making the earth completely inky-black and as smooth as a mirror.
“Dancing Lotus Sleeve.” Her lithe and graceful body turned, and her long sleeve changed direction before continuing to hurtle toward An Lin.
So fast!
An Lin was given a fright and immediately turned his sword on himself!
