Chapter 379 A huge black halberd descended from the sky!

On the other side of the inner city of the south city.

The Nalan family's defensive line.

The battles here were equally brutal.

A cracking sound rang out.

"boom!"

A giant bear spirit, as big as a small mountain, slapped down with its paw.

The guards from the Nalan family didn't even have time to scream.

It was directly smashed into minced meat.

"brute!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Nalan Jie, the patriarch of the Nalan family, had red eyes.

With a loud roar, he charged forward, spear in hand.

"Go to hell."

"Clang!"

The spear pierced the giant bear spirit's chest.

But it only went in half an inch before it couldn't go any further.

This giant bear spirit has a thick, tough body and invincible defense.

"roar."

The giant bear spirit roared and swung its hand back.

"Bang!"

Nalan Jie was struck by a tremendous force.

"Click."

The bones in his left arm shattered instantly.

His entire arm hung limply at his sides.

"grandfather!"

Nalan Yanran, who was not far away, suddenly screamed.

Tears welled up instantly, and she wanted to rush over to help, but was stopped by Nalan Jie, who had just spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Don't come any closer!"

Nalan Jie gripped the spear tightly with his only remaining right hand.

He stood between the giant bear demon and Nalan Yanran.

"Yanran, step back!"

"Even if the entire family is dead, you cannot die!"

Nalan Jie's voice was hoarse.

He was covered in blood, but his thin back stood like a mountain blocking the way.

Nalan Yanran stopped in her tracks instantly.

She only has the cultivation level of a martial arts master.

Normally, she is the pride of Nancheng, with few rivals among her peers.

But on battlefields of this scale...

She wasn't even enough to fill a gap between the demon's teeth.

They could only watch helplessly as their uncles and brothers fell one by one.

She watched as her grandfather risked his life to protect her.

Nalan Yanran felt despair.

The hand holding the sword was trembling.

Looking at Grandpa's broken arm, and at his hunched back as he fought on relentlessly.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in my mind.

That was the question that the Southern City Martial Emperor, dressed in a blue robe, asked her that day in the Twin Saints' Ruins.

"Your Nalan family has guarded the southern city for generations, sharing both glory and disgrace."

"Then let me ask you."

"If one day, the interests of your family conflict with my command, and the greater good of humanity clashes with the sword in your hand, what will you do?"

"Do you wield your sword for your family, for your teachers, or for the path you yourself firmly believe in?"

That day.

She knelt on the ground.

My mind is completely in a mess.

She couldn't answer.

Because she was taught from a young age that family interests come first.

But then he faced a question from a martial emperor.

She dared not say the answer aloud.

So she was kicked out.

From then on, she was always confused, not knowing what she should wield her sword for.

But now.

Looking at the gruesome deaths of his clansmen around him.

She looked at her grandfather, who was protecting her with his life.

Nalan Yanran's tears flowed uncontrollably.

She suddenly understood.

She had her answer.

"My family is willing to risk their lives for me."

"Grandpa risked his life to protect me."

"I, Nalan Yanran, was born a member of the Nalan family, and I will die a member of the Nalan family."

She shouted in her heart.

His eyes also became clearer than ever before.

"My sword is only for protection!"

"Protect my family, protect my clan!"

"Others might think I'm narrow-minded."

"They think I'm disregarding the greater good of humanity."

"But this is who I am!"

"I have received much kindness from my family; how could I betray them at this time!"

After figuring this out, Nalan Yanran felt enlightened, and her cultivation level even improved.

Huo quickly reached the level of a three-star martial artist.

But at the same time, seeing her grandfather's miserable state not far away, her anger was completely ignited.

"I'll fight you to the death!!!"

Nalan Yanran roared in anger.

He charged straight forward, sword in hand.

"Clang."

The longsword thrust out.

It pierced the chest of the giant bear spirit opposite.

In an instant.

Sparks flew everywhere.

This giant bear demon has thick skin and flesh.

Even though she has now reached the level of a three-star martial artist, this all-out sword strike still failed to even pierce the opponent's skin.

"roar."

The giant bear spirit roared.

He slapped me across the face with his other hand.

"Bang."

Nalan Yanran didn't even have a chance to dodge.

He was sent flying by the slap.

It crashed heavily onto the dilapidated wall behind it.

"puff."

He opened his mouth and spat out blood.

All the internal organs have shifted.

The long sword in his hand was instantly broken in two.

Upon witnessing this scene, Nalan Jie's eyes widened in fury.

"Yanran".

He dragged his severed arm, trying to rush over to save the person.

But suddenly, several wolf demons pounced on them from all around.

It bit his thigh and shoulder tightly.

"Get out of here."

"Get out of my way, all of you."

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Nalan Jie struggled frantically, his spear sweeping across repeatedly, but he couldn't break free at all.

The other members of the Nalan family also became enraged.

"Save the young lady."

"Let's fight these beasts!"

A dozen or so members of the Nalan family formed a group and charged forward recklessly.

But there were just too many monsters.

In no time at all, a large number of demonic beasts surrounded them.

"Tear!"

A master of the Nalan family had his neck bitten off by a leopard demon.

"Click."

Another member of the Nalan family had his stomach pierced by an armored rhinoceros.

One by one, the members of the Nalan family fell down.

In no time, the blood had stained the entire street red.

The scene was tragic.

It was extremely tragic.

Nalan Yanran slumped against the pile of rubble, spitting blood from her mouth, her vision blurred.

He watched as his clansmen died one by one trying to save him.

My heart aches so much I can't breathe.

"Leave me alone."

"Run!"

"You guys go."

"Leave me alone..."

She cried out weakly, but her voice was completely drowned out by the sounds of battle.

Nobody heard it.

Nobody will listen.

At this point, she was no longer just a young lady of the Nalan family.

But...

Clan members.

They are all human.

If we can save them, we will.

"Tap tap tap".

"Bang bang bang".

Just then, the enormous bear spirit with its massive body strode over.

With each step, the ground trembled.

It was like an earthquake.

Upon reaching Nalan Yanran, the giant bear demon showed absolutely no mercy, raising its massive paw to stomp directly down on Nalan Yanran's head.

Seeing this, Nalan Yanran was filled with despair.

He murmured, giving up resistance.

"Am I going to die?"

"Grandpa, I'm sorry."

"I failed to protect the Nalan family."

However, at this critical moment, a piercing sonic boom suddenly came from the sky.

"call out."

A blue light tore through the clouds.

It was hurtling towards them at an alarming speed.

It seemed that even the air itself was whistling and screeching due to the excessive speed.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"boom."

next moment.

It was a deafening roar.

A huge black halberd descended from the sky and slammed into the bluestone slab in front of Nalan Yanran.

boom.

For an instant.

A violent shockwave exploded.

It spread outwards like scattered ripples.

"Bang bang bang".
