First there was the Sect Master strongly protecting his disciples, now there’s the senior brother strongly protecting his junior sister.
At that moment.
Ye Xingchen inherited Jun Changxiao’s protective nature—absolutely not allowing anyone to harm his fellow sect members!
“Senior… Senior Brother…” Standing behind him, Yao Mengying clutched her head. Her eyes alternated between clarity and crimson red as she said with difficulty, “I… can’t control my body… I’m… so scared…”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Ye Xingchen said, “With Senior Brother here, no one can hurt you.”
“Whoosh!”
Energy shrouded his entire body. The Unparalleled War God Set clothed his form, his eyes flashing with a coldness like a wild bull.
Come!
Those on the left shout with me “Stars Scatter Like Flying Clouds,” those on the right shout with me “Sun and Moon Diverge!”
“Boy!”
The leading black-robed masked person said in a low voice, “You’re delaying an extremely great and sacred matter.”
As he spoke, he lightly raised his hand.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Several subordinates who had been sketching patterns immediately rushed over. When their cultivation erupted, their strength was all above the fifth and sixth rotations!
If they were just forbidden land demonic beasts, the problem might not be too serious. Now they were all genuine human martial artists, and from the auras they emitted, clearly belonged to demonic cultivation. For Ye Xingchen who was only at the fourth rotation, this was undoubtedly a test.
Not afraid!
Fight!
Ye Xingchen suddenly raised his Crescent Halberd and said coldly, “I don’t care what sacred matter this is. Anyone who dares hurt my junior sister must die.”
Domineering and overwhelming—ruthless Ah Niu.
Since the auras these people emitted were quite sinister, possibly related to controlling Yao Mengying, the best way to completely free her from restraints was… kill them all.
If it were Jun Changxiao, he might hesitate and consider things, since a slight misstep would lead to readers criticizing him as cruel. But Ye Xingchen didn’t care—after all, he wasn’t the protagonist. Even if he did something wrong, the Sect Master would take the blame.
“Die!”
With this thought, Ah Niu pushed Yao Mengying aside, shrouding her in an energy wall, then brandished his Crescent Halberd—attacking with moves meant to kill!
“Not good!”
The several black-clothed people who had surrounded him hurriedly retreated.
From their perspective, this young man seemed to only be at the fourth rotation—why was the power he erupted so profound and strong?
Because of equipment, because of bloodline.
Despite Ah Niu just barely entering the fourth rotation, once the text special effects activated, his strength improved especially noticeably. Not to mention he had also awakened the Azure Bull bloodline.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Powerful energy erupted, light illuminating the mountain valley.
Although the several black-clothed people dodged ahead of time, they still inevitably had to withstand the force of one halberd strike. They were all shaken back repeatedly. Unfortunately, with masks on, their facial expressions couldn’t be seen.
The leading person didn’t expect a fourth rotation to be so formidable. He immediately shouted, “Quickly snatch that woman!”
This critical juncture wasn’t the time for fighting—they must quickly complete the task assigned from above and bring the ninth Heavenly Demon Body possessor away.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Ye Xingchen swung his Crescent Halberd, protecting Yao Mengying’s front, exhibiting the momentum of one bull holding the pass against ten thousand bulls.
Snatch?
If I can’t protect Junior Sister today, the former Head Manager Wang’s surname will be written backwards!
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Just then, more masked martial artists flew out from the darkness. The number gradually increased to over a hundred. Fortunately, their strength wasn’t too high—mostly at the first rotation of Core Formation.
“Troublesome.”
Ye Xingchen, who had just raised a flag, furrowed his brow tightly.
So many martial artists, mixed among them several at the fifth and sixth rotations—trying to protect Junior Sister on his own was probably somewhat difficult.
“The message was sent so long ago—why hasn’t support arrived yet!”
Although Ye Xingchen grumbled in his heart, at this point he could only rely on himself. He gripped his Crescent Halberd tightly, his gaze locked deadly on the hundred-plus black-clothed people pressing closer step by step.
He couldn’t take the initiative to attack, because the other side would definitely try to snatch Yao Mengying. The situation was extremely passive.
“Go!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
In an instant, dozens of black-clothed people rushed over.
With various dark attributes erupting, the mountain valley was rendered even more terrifying!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Ye Xingchen frantically swung his Crescent Halberd, forcing back martial artists pressing in from all sides. But he also inevitably suffered attacks from those who slipped through the net. He could only retreat step by step, blood churning violently inside his body.
Realm suppression, numerical suppression.
Also because he had to protect Yao Mengying and was stuck in a passive position, Ah Niu’s situation was very unfavorable.
“Don’t waste time!”
The leading black-robed martial artist shouted loudly, “Quickly kill this troublesome fellow and take that woman away!”
“Yes!”
Everyone received the order and pressed forward frantically.
Of course, because Yao Mengying behind them must be brought back alive, they were also greatly restricted. Otherwise, they would have already released joint ultimate attacks and been done with it.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Ye Xingchen wielded his Crescent Halberd, fighting the attacking martial artists. He remained steadily near his junior sister, not letting them cross the threshold even half a step. The price was being bombarded again and again!
Thinking carefully, since the Eternal Ages Sect was established, no disciples had sacrificed yet. To be more realistic, perhaps…
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Just then, the area where everyone was attacking suddenly flashed golden light, irritating large numbers of black-clothed martial artists who closed their eyes and retreated!
“Swoosh!”
Ye Xingchen still stood before Yao Mengying. The Unparalleled War God Set that had been damaged by attacks was now replaced by golden armor. Combined with that cold face, he instantly became handsome to new heights!
“Golden Radiance Sacred Armor?!”
The leading black-robed masked person’s voice held disbelief.
“Swoosh!”
Ye Xingchen raised his hand. The Crescent Halberd standing at his feet vanished into thin air, then a similarly golden spear appeared.
“Golden Radiance Sacred Spear!”
The leading black-robed masked person thought to himself, “These two pieces of equipment clearly belong to Jin Hao—why have they appeared in his hands? Could it be that guy was killed? His equipment treasures also seized?”
At this rather dangerous juncture, many onlookers were sitting and waiting for Ye Xingchen to activate his bloodline and transform into a great azure bull. Instead, he summoned two divine artifacts approaching the Immortal-grade.
What are divine artifacts?
They’re extremely divine!
When Ye Xingchen donned the golden sacred armor and wielded the golden sacred spear, every meridian, every pore seemed to be completely activated. His desire to fight became increasingly intense!
“You all…”
Ah Niu raised his head: “Must die!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Golden special effects instantly enhanced his entire body, as if he had transformed into a Golden Saint!
Ah Niu!
Burn your cosmo!
This moment—your brilliance, your glory will illuminate the entire Upper Realm!
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Just then, breaking wind sounds came from the distance.
Dense seven-colored streaming lights appeared in the firmament, flying over in staggered formation. The special effects were even stronger than Ye Xingchen wearing sacred clothing.
“Junior Brother Ye!”
Li Qingyang’s voice came, “We’re here!”
“…”
Ye Xingchen’s expression became wonderful.
When I was being ganged up on, you didn’t come. Right when I activate my ultimate move, you arrive—isn’t this clearly stealing the spotlight!
Thinking aside, Ah Niu still breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they came in time, and moreover… holy crap, they deployed so many Dark Destroyers—Junior Sister Yao is definitely safe now!
“Trash.”
Ye Xingchen shouldered his spear and said coldly, “You can all die now.”
In the close-up shot, behind him in the firmament, mechs carrying seven-colored streaming lights flew at extreme speed, then slowly descended into the mountain valley.
What did this represent?
It represented that when Ah Niu encountered danger, he had legions backing him—unlike his previous life fighting alone, even being killed in the shadows without anyone caring.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The ground trembled frequently.
Moments later, large numbers of Dark Destroyers stood behind Ye Xingchen.
Their eyes flashed with luster, like ravenous demonic beasts locking onto that group of trembling black-robed masked people.
A hundred first-rotations is a lot?
Very sorry—in the Eternal Ages Sect disciples’ dictionary, what they feared least was group battles!
“Whoosh!”
The Tonggu Warship flew over, stopping above the valley entrance. Jun Changxiao sat at the bow lighting a cigarette, his face expressionless: “Pioneer Regiment, listen to my order—eliminate them all.”
“Yes!”
Zhong Yi shouted, “Attack!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
A thousand gigantic, powerful Dark Destroyers walked forward, like a group of adults surrounding a hundred-plus children in an extremely small area. They either raised steel fists or lifted steel feet, launching an attack like a storm of pear blossom needles!
Several fourth and fifth rotation powerhouses might not necessarily fear these mechs, but at this moment they were being stepped on by Gu Zhaoxi and the Black and White Rakshasa—one person per head—using their faces to frantically test the floor’s thickness.
…
Moments later.
Over a hundred black-robed people were all dealt with, leaving only the leader. When their masks were removed, moon-shaped patterns were found carved on all their foreheads.
“Old Brother!”
Gu Zhaoxi frowned, “They’re Burial Moon Pavilion people!”
Jun Changxiao descended, stepping on that black-robed elder’s sinister face, and said coldly, “Daring to manipulate and control disciples of my Eternal Ages Sect—believe it or not, I’ll make the Burial Moon Pavilion history in the next second?”
After coming to the Upper Realm, Dog Sheng had consistently kept a low profile, but that didn’t mean he had reformed and become a good person.
If Yao Mengying hadn’t been intercepted by Ye Xingchen in time, if even the slightest accident had occurred—like losing a single strand of hair—he would definitely eliminate this mysterious organization that made enemies of them regardless of consequences!
