266: Severely injuring Xiao Chen, Meng Bi fled.

Three terrifying attacks, each containing their strongest power and representing different Laws, collided fiercely on the flat ground outside the cave!

Rumble—!!!! An indescribable, deafening roar erupted instantly!

It was as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting! The crimson-gold sword light of burning silence, the ink-green blade aura of life-severing, and the thick, earthy-yellow spear Protective Aura, like three roaring Dragons, madly bit, collided, and annihilated one another!

A massive ball of light with a diameter of over ten zhang, filled with destructive energy, formed instantly! Inside the light ball, the golden-red, ink-green, and earthy-yellow energies intertwined and exploded crazily!

A terrifying energy shockwave swept out in all directions like a tsunami!

Crack! Boom!

The nearby rock walls were easily torn and shattered like tofu!

Countless huge boulders were swept up by the shockwave, shooting out like cannonballs!

The entire mountain shook violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment!

"Retreat!" "Defend!"

The other battlefields were instantly affected by this terrifying explosion!

Whether it was Yue Shan and Liang Kun, Qiong Shuang and Blood Butcher, or Han Yun and Luo Tianying, and even the entangled Lin Qingxue and Tieshan, as well as Xiao Huohuo, Lin Shishi, and Scarface, everyone immediately abandoned their opponents, crazily urged their Qi, and erected their strongest defenses!

Yue Shan blocked horizontally with his giant axe, his earthy-yellow Qi forming a thick mountain wall; Liang Kun's body surged with poison mist, turning into an ink-green barrier; Qiong Shuang opened her small mouth and spat out an ice crystal shield; Blood Butcher danced his long blade wildly, his blood aura protecting his body; Han Yun fired golden arrows in succession, setting up an arrow screen before her; Luo Tianying's Yin and Yang disk spun rapidly; Lin Qingxue's ice soul sword bloomed with cold light, and an ice crystal shield instantly condensed; Tieshan held his giant shield at the very front; Xiao Huohuo and Lin Shishi immediately went back-to-back, their fire curtain and water shield merging to form a dual defense; Scarface flashed his figure, attempting to slip into the shadows to hide!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The destructive shockwave slammed heavily against everyone's defenses!

The slightly weaker Lin Qingxue, Tieshan, Xiao Huohuo, Lin Shishi, and the others had their shields instantly covered in cracks; they groaned, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, and were knocked back repeatedly!

Even Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators like Yue Shan and Liang Kun were shaken, their blood and Qi churning, and their protective Qi fluctuating violently!

The power of this collision had already reached the threshold of the Late Nascent Soul Stage!

At the core of the explosion, Yao Delong bore the brunt of it!

The dark golden Protective Aura flowing on his body surface erupted with blinding light, forcibly resisting the most violent first wave of backlash!

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and amidst the intense light and chaotic energy of the explosion, he locked onto Xiao Chen's figure!

Just as the three attacks collided and the ball of light exploded, Yao Delong turned his left hand into a fist, and the terrifying power of his Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Art condensed instantly!

"Void Splitting Nine Strikes — Ninth Form · Annihilation!"

He threw a punch! There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a terrifying Concept where all things returned to nothingness and space collapsed!

Where the fist wind passed, the chaotic energy was forcibly pushed aside and annihilated!

A deep black light, condensed to the extreme and seemingly capable of swallowing light, arrived later but struck first, piercing through the aftermath of the explosion and slamming straight toward Xiao Chen, who had just executed the Green Emperor Life-Severing Slash and whose aura was momentarily receding!

"What?!" Xiao Chen's soul fled in terror!

He had just unleashed his blade with full force; his old strength was spent, and his new strength had yet to form. Facing this silent yet even more lethal Annihilation fist light, he had no time to mobilize a powerful defense again!

"Shield, rise!!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Xiao Chen let out a desperate roar and unhesitatingly crushed a precious, Sixth-Order High Grade life-saving jade talisman he had prepared at his waist!

Hum! A golden light shield, incomparably condensed and exuding the aura of the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, instantly enveloped him!

Upon the light shield, runes flowed, and faint Dragon-shaped phantoms coiled around it, emitting an indestructible aura!

Boom—!!!

Yao Delong's fist light, containing the Annihilation Concept, slammed heavily against the golden light shield!

Crackle—!!! A teeth-grinding sound of shattering rang out!

The golden light shield, formed from a precious jade talisman capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, was instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks under the bombardment of the Annihilation fist light, as if it were fragile glass!

It held for less than a breath before shattering with a roar!

The violent aftermath of the fist force slammed into the protective spirit light Xiao Chen had hastily erected!

"Puff—" Xiao Chen was struck as if by a heavy hammer, spraying blood wildly. His whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily into the ruined rock wall behind him and creating a deep pit!

His sternum collapsed, his aura instantly withered to the extreme, and his eyes were filled with unbelievable horror!

"How is this possible... A life-saving jade talisman worth thousands of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones... actually... shattered in one punch?!"

Xiao Chen looked at the collapsed wound on his chest and the shattered fragments of the jade talisman, his mind shaking violently, fear clutching his heart instantly like a cold viper!

And at the very same time Yao Delong unleashed the Annihilation fist and Xiao Chen crushed the jade talisman!

Meng Bi, who was on the edge of the explosion and had his blood and Qi churning from the shockwave, witnessed the terrifying scene of Xiao Chen crushing the jade talisman to save himself, only to still be severely injured by Yao Delong's punch!

The last trace of luck in his heart was completely extinguished!

"Damn it! That bastard Xiao Chen! Only protecting himself at the critical moment!!"

Meng Bi cursed inwardly. He looked fiercely at Scarface, who was still entangled with Xiao Huohuo and Lin Shishi, his eyes filled only with boundless fear and the desire to escape!

"Uncle Dao! My apologies! This young master is leaving first!!"

Meng Bi roared in his heart, using his last bit of strength to pull out that Sixth-Order Peak · Lesser Teleportation Talisman, which he had treasured for many years and was worth thousands of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

Before the golden-red light and deep black light intertwined and formed the terrifying aura of Chaos, where all things were destroyed and nothingness reigned, could completely swallow him, he unhesitatingly crushed the talisman!

Hum! A powerful spatial force instantly wrapped around Meng Bi!

His figure twisted and blurred violently like water ripples amidst the frenzy of destructive energy!

"Trying to run?!"

Yao Delong's eyes turned cold, and his Burning Silence Sword was about to strike, but the aftermath of the explosion and the backlash made his movements half a beat slower!

Swish! A silver light flashed, and Meng Bi's figure had completely vanished!

All that remained was a rapidly shrinking spatial vortex in place, along with a few drops of spilled blood.

He didn't even dare to leave a harsh word before fleeing in a pathetic state!

"Meng Bi!! You coward! You bastard! I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!!"

In the deep pit, the withered Xiao Chen saw this scene, and was so angry that he sprayed another mouthful of blood, issuing the most vicious curses with eyes split open!

Truly, brothers are like clothing; when it's time to take them off, this bastard takes them off faster than anyone!

On the other side, Scarface, who was being annoyed and distracted by Xiao Huohuo and Lin Shishi, also keenly captured the scene of Meng Bi fleeing and Xiao Chen being severely injured.

His heart sank instantly!

"The young master has run, and Xiao Chen is crippled! If I keep fighting, when Yao Delong frees up his hands, the next one to die will be me!"

A flash of ruthlessness and determination crossed Scarface's eyes.

He was originally Meng Bi's guard and had no loyalty to Xiao Chen.

At this moment, saving his own life was the priority!

While pretending to fight for his life, his poison sting attacks became even more ferocious, forcing Xiao Huohuo and Lin Shishi to defend with all their might, while he imperceptibly began moving the battlefield away from the core and toward the edge of the cave.

He was looking for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow him to escape, just like Meng Bi!
