Chapter 359 The Protector!
"A good opportunity."
Just as Yang Qi shattered the Heavenly Seal and the Chain of Curses with a single punch, Zhu Chen also moved.
He moved with lightning speed, transforming into a streak of light, and rushed straight towards Yunxi.
The two Celestial Race Venerables who were holding Yunxi hostage changed their expressions drastically. They hurriedly activated their magical techniques. One of them spat out lightning from his palm, while the other quickly summoned a bone shield to protect himself.
"Get out of here!"
Zhu Chen let out a cold shout, and his arm was instantly covered with a layer of fine blue dragon scales. His five fingers formed claws, carrying a terrifying sharpness that could tear through the void, and he grabbed out.
"—Pfft!"
The seemingly violent lightning and solid bone shield were like waste paper in front of the true dragon claw, easily pierced through.
Afterwards, Zhu Chen's claw strikes continued unabated, piercing through the chests of two more Venerables!
"--boom!"
A terrifying force then erupted!
The light in the eyes of the two Venerable Ones dimmed instantly, and they coughed up blood and fell straight down from the sky.
"Brother Yang Qi, I'll rescue the people first and leave. You cover my retreat. Once it's done, leave immediately. Don't linger!"
Zhu Chen flew to Yun Xi and, before she could speak, grabbed her waist. He then spread his True Phoenix Wings and with a sudden flap, his body transformed into a crimson-gold rainbow, flying towards the outside of Tianren City at top speed.
"Stop him!"
"Don't let that thief get away!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding Celestial Clan cultivators gradually recovered from the shock brought by Yang Qi.
Dozens of figures immediately took to the air, their various magical techniques gleaming, and bombarded Zhu Chen in an overwhelming manner, attempting to intercept him.
"Those who block my way shall die!"
Zhu Chen held Yun Xi's slender waist with his left arm, and with his right hand, he slashed horizontally through the air with his fingers like a sword.
In an instant, an unparalleled sword intent, powerful enough to cleave the void, surged forth!
The dozen or so Celestial Race Venerables at the forefront didn't even have time to react before they were shredded into pieces by this sharp sword energy, their precious techniques turning into nothingness along with them!
But in the next second.
Three Divine Fire Realm cultivators and one True One Realm cultivator had already flashed over and blocked his way.
"Stay!"
To avoid any unforeseen complications, the True One Realm cultivator decisively summoned a precious bell shimmering with brilliant light, attempting to capture him alive.
"You think you can keep me here?"
Faced with this desperate situation, a ruthless glint flashed in Zhu Chen's eyes.
Without hesitation, he summoned the eerie Soul Banner!
Then, he quickly flipped his hands, forming a series of complex hand seals.
"--melt!"
With a soft shout from Zhu Chen.
Nearly a hundred distorted and pained faces immediately appeared on the Soul Respect Banner.
Those were all the powerful souls he had collected before.
Zhu Chen activated the Soul Fusion Technique, sacrificing these souls along with their life's cultivation to himself!
"--boom!"
A violent aura spread out.
Zhu Chen's aura surged like a volcanic eruption, instantly breaking through the barrier of the Venerable Realm and forcibly stepping into the Divine Realm!
Although the divine fire had not been truly ignited and the realm was somewhat unstable, the pressure that erupted in that instant still caused the faces of the Celestial Race cultivators who were blocking the way to change drastically.
"cut!"
Using this surge of power, Zhu Chen once again unleashed the Grass Sword Technique.
This time, the sword light he unleashed was more refined and more powerful than before!
The three Divine Fire Realm cultivators fought back with all their might, but their magical techniques and treasures shattered one after another under his dazzling sword light.
As the sword light flashed, the three men froze, then a line of blood appeared between their brows, and their bodies silently split in two, their souls and spirits annihilated!
Only the True One Realm cultivator managed to block the sword strike with the help of the silver bell.
However, a clear crack appeared on his precious bell.
"Let's see how many more lives you have to take to stop me!"
Zhu Chen knew that time was of the essence and that he had to open the breach as quickly as possible. So, with a thought, he decisively opened his own cosmic cave.
In an instant, hundreds of various magical artifacts were scattered out as if they were free.
Knives, swords, mirrors, seals, pagodas... everything is available.
These treasures were all obtained through his previous murders and robberies.
Although their rank is not high, their quantity is astonishing.
"burst!"
Without hesitation, Zhu Chen immediately used his divine sense to activate the core runes inside all the magical artifacts.
"—BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
A series of earth-shattering explosions suddenly erupted!
Hundreds of magical artifacts exploded simultaneously, creating an energy turbulence that swept across the entire airspace ahead like an apocalyptic storm!
The light was blinding, the sound deafening, and the terrifying energy shockwave sent the Celestial Race cultivators who tried to surround them flying in droves.
Some with weaker cultivation levels were directly reduced to ashes in the explosion.
Although the True One Realm cultivator survived by sheer luck thanks to the treasure bell, he also suffered considerable injuries.
He never expected Zhu Chen to be so crazy, detonating hundreds of magical artifacts in one go.
……
"Quickly stop him! We absolutely cannot let him escape from Celestial City."
Seeing that Zhu Chen was trying to escape with Yun Xi, Qi Tuo immediately chased after the direction Zhu Chen had left in.
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me?"
Yang Qi seized this momentary opening, his figure blurred, and he appeared directly in front of him, delivering a punch!
"No!"
Qi Tuo only had time to let out a desperate roar before his protective divine light shattered inch by inch under Yang Qi's fist.
"--Bang!"
Blood mist exploded!
This ancestor of the Celestial Race had his physical body shattered by Yang Qi's punch, and his soul was completely obliterated by the domineering Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, leaving him utterly dead!
"Qi Tuo!"
Qixia Old Woman's pupils contracted, and in her moment of loss of composure, she was struck in the chest by Yang Qi's backhand. She was sent flying like a broken sack, blood splattering across the sky, and her life force instantly waned.
Zhu Chen seized the passage blasted open by countless magical artifacts, and the True Phoenix Wings on his back burned with raging divine flames, pushing his speed to the limit.
However, just as he and Yunxi were about to break out of the Heavenly City's territory, an old voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"Young man, is Celestial City a place you can come and go as you please?"
The moment that voice rang out, an indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly descended, as if the entire sky had collapsed, completely freezing the space around Zhu Chen!
Zhu Chen stopped and looked up. He saw an old man in a gray robe with two horns on his head who had appeared on the tall city wall in front of him.
The old man had a simple, ancient face and cloudy eyes, as if he had seen all the vicissitudes of life. Just by standing there, he seemed to have become one with the entire Celestial City.
He didn't even glance at Zhu Chen, but casually raised his finger and lightly tapped Zhu Chen's chest.
"--laugh!"
An indescribable, excruciating pain shot through me!
Zhu Chen felt a chill in his chest and subconsciously looked down, only to see that his heart had been pierced by an invisible force, leaving a bowl-sized hole in his chest.
