Yang Jian saw that Patriarch Xu Shi was incredibly stubborn and could only charge forward with his spear. After all, Zhou Menglang was being held in check by Ren Woxiao, leaving Qin Jun and the others temporarily safe.
With the perception of a Primordial Ancestor, if any enemy approached Qin Jun, Yang Jian could react instantly. He trusted his speed—unless the enemy's cultivation surpassed his by two minor realms, he could intercept them in time.
Primordial Ancestors were already exceedingly rare, let alone beings surpassing them. This was the Ancient Saint Emperor Dao, not the Primordial Plane.
When Patriarch Xu Shi saw Yang Jian advancing, he was almost scared out of his wits. Yang Jian, who embodied the Dao of Battle, exuded an overwhelming aura when he fought. Even Patriarch Xu Shi, at the early stage of the Primordial Ancestor realm, was utterly flustered and terrified.
As important as the mission was, it wasn't worth his life!
