The system is the proficiency panel

Just as the battle between Ye Zizhen and Chen Chen was becoming increasingly intense, a rapid sound of breaking wind suddenly came from the sky.

Ye Zizhen was keenly aware that someone was approaching quickly. Her heart tightened, knowing that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, not long after, two dark shadows appeared at the edge of the valley like ghosts. They were the Saints who came to support after receiving Chen Chen's signal. They were wearing the same white robes as Chen Chen, and their eyes revealed coldness and determination.

Ye Zizhen's heart trembled, knowing that the situation was not good. Facing Chen Chen, she was already struggling, not to mention that there were several more powerful enemies. Sure enough, within a moment, two second-level martial saints arrived at the battlefield first. Their aura was strong and oppressive, making Ye Zizhen feel an unprecedented despair.

The two martial saints didn't say much and attacked Ye Zizhen directly. Their speed and strength were far beyond Ye Zizhen's imagination. After a confrontation, Ye Zizhen was blown away by the powerful air wave and fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood. If it weren't for the defensive talisman that Yue Shanwu gave her before, which was activated in time to protect her heart meridian, she would have died on the spot.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Ye Zizhen's mouth. She knelt on one knee, with her spear deeply inserted into the ground, supporting her shaky body. The two martial saints in front of her were approaching like the gods of death, their eyes were cold, and there was a suffocating pressure around them.

Chen Chen looked at Ye Zizhen's miserable condition and felt a little bit sorry for him, so he turned around and left first, planning to come back and see Ye Zizhen off after things were over.

When the two martial saints saw Chen Chen leaving, they knew that they were old acquaintances, so they did not stop or scold Chen Chen. They just wanted to leave his body intact and give him a proper burial.

"A mere ant dares to block the road?"

One of the Martial Saints sneered, raised his hand and a fierce gust of wind went straight to Ye Zizhen's throat.

Ye Zizhen gritted her teeth and tried her best to raise her spear to block, but the power of the Martial Saint was far beyond her imagination. The strong wind hit the spear, causing her palm to crack, and the spear flew out of her hand. She was knocked back several meters again and fell heavily beside Lin Ji.

"ended."

Another Martial Saint spoke indifferently, and a ball of blue ice flame condensed in his palm, and suddenly slapped it in the direction of Ye Zizhen and Lin Ji.

The ice flames reflected in Ye Zizhen's contracted pupils, and extreme cold and extreme heat intertwined strangely. When she was on the verge of death, she was actually thinking about whether to turn over and protect Lin Ji, using her body to buy the last few seconds.

When the ice flame hit, the silver bracelet on Ye Zizhen's wrist suddenly burst into a dazzling blue and green light. The light rippled like water waves, instantly forming a translucent light shield that enveloped Ye Zizhen and Lin Ji.

The blue ice flame hit the light shield, causing a deafening roar, but the light shield did not move at all, not even a crack appeared.

"what!"

The two Martial Saints' pupils suddenly shrank as they looked at this scene in disbelief.

Ye Zizhen was also stunned. She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist and saw faint runes flashing in the flowing light, as if it contained endless vitality and power.

"This is... my brother's spiritual power!"

She understood instantly that this was the life-saving item Lin Ji left for her.

Inside the light shield, Ye Zizhen felt a warm current flowing from the bracelet into her body, quickly repairing her injuries. Not only that, the warm current also passed to the unconscious Lin Ji, continuing to heal him.

Seeing this, Ye Zizhen took a deep breath, stood up again, and looked at the two Martial Saints with a firm gaze.

"As long as I'm here, you can't hurt my brother!"

The two martial saints looked at each other, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. One of them said in a deep voice.

"It's just a defensive magic weapon. It won't last long. Come on, attack us together!"

Before he finished speaking, the two men attacked at the same time, one with a fist as fast as thunder, the other with a palm as sharp as a knife, and the violent attacks poured down on the light shield like a rainstorm.

The light shield trembled slightly under the continuous bombardment, but it was still as stable as before. Ye Zizhen stood in the center of the light shield, clenched his hands, and silently prayed in his heart that Lin Ji would wake up as soon as possible.

Suddenly, the attack outside the light shield stopped abruptly. Ye Zizhen looked up and saw the two martial saints' faces suddenly changed, and they looked behind her in horror.

Ye Zizhen turned around suddenly and found that Lin Ji had opened his eyes at some point. His charred body had returned to normal. He was now supporting his upper body with his arms and looking around. He roughly knew what had happened.

"You are seeking death."

Lin Ji's voice was very soft, but it exploded like thunder in the ears of the two martial saints. They turned around and fled without hesitation, but before they took a step, their bodies were struck by lightning and froze in place, unable to move.

Time and space stagnation

Lin Ji slowly raised his hand and tapped the air with his fingertips. In an instant, the space around the two martial saints seemed to be frozen, their expressions were frozen in a moment of fear, and even their breathing stagnated.

Ye Zizhen shouted in surprise.

"Brother! You wake up!"

Lin Ji smiled slightly and looked at her softly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Zixin."

Lin Ji had expected the Holy Church's surprise attack, but he was not expecting the opponent's strength. They had actually injured him to such an extent that he was completely unconscious. If Ye Zizhen had not come here in advance and the bracelet had not healed his injuries, the life-saving talisman given by the True Lord would have been used up.

He stood up, and his aura gradually recovered to the peak level 3. He walked in front of the two martial saints with cold eyes.

"You are braver than I thought."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and the bodies of the two second-level martial saints dissipated in the wind like sand, without even a trace left.

Lin Ji turned to look at Ye Zizhen and gently rubbed her hair.

"Let's go, it's time to go back. The battle in Hongxia City should also be over."

Ye Zizhen nodded heavily, his eyes full of admiration and trust.

"Ok!"

The two turned into streams of light and rushed towards Hongxia City. Behind them, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the earth.

……

The walls of Hongxia City looked like they were covered with a layer of gold foil in the setting sun, but the plains outside the city were soaked in blood. The sudden joining of the three Red Flame Beasts caught the Holy Church off guard, and they paid a huge price to barely maintain their existence, but their situation was also precarious.

Yue Shanwu's sword pierced through the chest of the last Martial Saint, the sword energy crushed his heart, and his body fell to the ground with a bang.

"ended."

He drew his sword while panting and looked around. The battlefield was littered with corpses. At this moment, the Saint Warriors seemed to have received some order and retreated like a tide, leaving behind countless corpses of their companions. On the city wall, the surviving defenders cheered tiredly.

Zuo Benqing came in mid-air, with a small jade sword hovering at his side. His Taoist robe was stained with blood, but he looked calm.

"Brother Yue, the north gate has been cleared."

Yue Shanwu nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly looked up as if he had sensed something. Two streaks of light in the sky broke through the clouds and in an instant were above the city wall.

"It's Daozi!"

Ouyang Yun's voice came from a distance. Her clothes were slightly torn, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. Lin Ji and Ye Zixin landed gracefully, and everyone gathered around them immediately.
