215: Chapter 215 Encountering a Powerful Enemy Again, the Immortal Ancient Supreme!
Shen Qingyue's breathing hitched the moment she heard the words "Shen Family."
She gazed toward the ancient city.
The city walls had long since collapsed for the most part.
Black mist entangled the ruins, as if countless hands were crawling within.
On the ground outside the city, a dried-up blood river was still visible.
At the end of the blood river, several skeletons clad in ancient armor knelt on the ground.
Their postures were all directed toward the stone gate, as if they were still guarding the path even in death.
Shen Qingyue's fingertips trembled slightly; cyan-white Primordial Qi surged from her body, only to be forcibly suppressed by her.
"Those are the ancestors of the Shen Family!"
Lin Yi glanced at her.
"Qingyue."
Shen Qingyue looked up, the coldness in the depths of her eyes tinged with redness.
"I'm fine."
"It's just that they have been guarding this place for too long."
Chu Wanqing walked to her side and gently grasped her hand.
"This time, someone is here with you."
Su Yuxi also looked at Shen Qingyue.
"And me."
"I also bear a share of the debt from our past lives."
Shen Qingyue did not speak again, merely gripping the two women's hands tightly in return.
Lin Yi gripped the god-slaying sword.
He did not offer much comfort.
For Shen Qingyue, the best comfort was never empty, pretty words.
It was dragging the old enemy out from the shadows.
And slicing them clean with one sword strike!
Wang Hong suddenly frowned.
"Saint."
"The Spiritual Qi in this Realm is very strange."
"When I circulate my cultivation power, there is a sense of obstruction."
The other few Elders nodded one after another.
One Elder said in a low voice:
"The Law is incompatible."
"While we are here, our combat power will be reduced by about twenty percent."
Xu Chen's face turned even darker.
"Twenty percent?"
"How are we supposed to play like this?"
Lin Yi swept a glance at him.
"You can save twenty percent of your effort, isn't that good?"
Xu Chen choked.
"Big Brother."
"That counts as forced consolation."
Chu Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle.
The tense atmosphere at the scene eased up quite a bit.
But this only lasted for a moment.
In the next breath, Shen Qingyue's face turned deathly pale.
The Primordial Qi Bloodline within her suddenly erupted.
Cyan-white radiance surged from behind her shoulders, forming a Taiji Hunyuan Diagram.
The moment the diagram appeared, it was firmly locked onto by a certain Aura from afar.
Shen Qingyue let out a muffled groan, her footsteps swaying by half a step.
Lin Yi appeared before her in an instant.
The god-slaying sword swung out.
Hum!
The sword hum sliced through the surrounding gray mist.
Su Yuxi stepped out, the Empress Dao Rhyme spreading out to block behind Shen Qingyue.
Chu Wanqing's imperial zither hung in the air, her fingertips plucking the strings as the crimson-gold Imperial Phoenix power surged into the firmament.
Wang Hong and the few Elders scattered simultaneously.
Xu Chen also smashed the ancient desolate hall onto the ground.
Boom!
He hid his entire person behind the hall, revealing only half his head.
"Who is it?"
"What kind of skill is peeking!"
"If you have the guts, come out and take a beating!"
Hongmeng Immortal Light surged in Lin Yi's eyes.
His gaze pierced through ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, crossing the gray wasteland.
Tens of thousands of miles away, a pitch-black forbidden zone came into view.
Deep within the forbidden zone, there sat a partially collapsed Ancient Hall.
There was no vitality around the Ancient Hall; even the wind blowing past would scatter into black ash outside the hall.
At this moment, in the deepest part of the Ancient Hall, a stone coffin was vibrating.
The coffin lid was covered in the dust of ages.
The stone coffin cracked open, and a withered figure sat up.
He wore a decaying ancient robe, his hair was dry, and his skin clung to his bones.
There was not a shred of living Aura on that face.
Yet, the moment he opened his eyes, the entire forbidden zone trembled along with him.
Lin Yi's expression turned cold.
An Ancient Immortal Supreme!
And, his state was not completely withered.
That gaze crossed tens of thousands of miles, nailing itself firmly onto Shen Qingyue.
The Bloodline within Shen Qingyue boiled even more violently.
Her chest felt as if it were blocked by a giant boulder, yet she did not retreat.
That ancient voice rolled in from afar.
"Shen Family Bloodline."
"To think that one was actually missed back then!"
Those two short sentences caused the redness in Shen Qingyue's eyes to turn completely into frost.
Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth.
"Was he involved in the Shen Family affair?"
Su Yuxi's silvery-white dao rhyme shook.
"This Aura."
"I saw it in my past life."
"He appeared on the edge of the battlefield back then."
Shen Qingyue looked up, her voice very cold.
"It is him."
"In the Shen Family history records, there is the shadow of a traitorous Supreme."
Xu Chen poked his head out from behind the ancient desolate hall.
"A traitor?"
"Doesn't that just make him purely deserving of death?"
Wang Hong did not scold him this time.
The faces of the few Elders had also all turned dark.
Lin Yi stepped forward, shielding Shen Qingyue completely behind him.
"Qingyue."
"We will collect the interest on this debt today!"
Shen Qingyue looked at his back, her fingertips tensing, then slowly relaxing.
"Alright."
"I will go with you."
Lin Yi did not refuse.
"Stand behind me."
"Watch how he dies."
In the distant forbidden zone's Ancient Hall, that Ancient Immortal Supreme stood up completely.
His movements were very slow.
Yet for every inch he rose, the pressure between heaven and earth grew heavier by a point.
Large swaths of the ground cracked.
The gray mist was pressed down against the surface of the earth.
Those remains of soldiers and broken bones also began to tremble, emitting a dense, crisp clattering sound.
Xu Chen's face twitched.
"Big Brother, what do we do?"
"We just entered the door and ran into a hidden old monster!"
Chu Wanqing plucked the strings with her fingertips, the zither music turning into crimson-gold rings to protect everyone.
"Less whining."
"Prepare to fight!"
Xu Chen hoisted the ancient desolate hall up.
"Fight it is."
"Anyway, I'm responsible for tanking the damage."
Wang Hong said in a deep voice:
"Saint, the opponent's Realm is extremely high."
"We must not take the hit head-on."
Lin Yi nodded in agreement.
The Hongmeng Vision unfolded behind him.
Stars emerged, with green veins of vitality running through them.
The Aura of the Divine Fire Realm Peak burned to the extreme.
The heavenly emperor cauldron hung above his head.
The haotian pagoda suppressed the Void Realm.
The immortal burial coffin floated on his left.
The god-slaying sword was gripped in his palm.
Once these four Auras emerged, the pressure on everyone lightened by more than half.
In the distance, that Ancient Immortal Supreme seemed to be startled by this Aura.
He looked over from across the distance, his tone icy.
"Primordial Qi."
"Empress Dao Rhyme."
"Primordial Qi Bloodline."
"And the Imperial Phoenix Origin."
He paused for a breath, greed entering his voice.
"It is indeed a table of fine offerings delivered to me."
Lin Yi raised the god-slaying sword, the blade pointing ten thousand miles away.
"Old thing."
"You sure talk a lot."
"Are your teeth still good?"
Xu Chen had been so nervous that his palms were full of sweat.
Hearing this, he almost couldn't hold it together.
"Big Brother, you really don't pick your occasions."
"The opponent is already a Supreme, and you're still asking about his teeth."
Chu Wanqing also curved her eyes.
"It's good."
"At the very least, our Aura cannot be lost."
That Ancient Immortal Supreme did not speak again.
He raised a withered palm, and the heaven and earth for tens of thousands of miles darkened simultaneously.
The gray clouds were torn apart, revealing a giant palm that covered the sky.
The giant palm was condensed from decaying Laws, and the palm prints were filled with broken runes.
It fell from the firmament.
Before it had truly descended, the ground had already collapsed dozens of zhang deep.
Wang Hong and the few Elders groaned in unison.
Xu Chen, carrying the ancient desolate hall, had his legs sink directly into the soil.
"Damn it!"
"This old geezer is unleashing his ultimate move right at the start?"
Lin Yi's eyes were sharp.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Su Yuxi stood at his side, without the slightest intention of retreating, the phantom of the Empress Dao Fruit hanging at her brow.
"I can seal him for one breath."
Shen Qingyue did not retreat either; the Hunyuan Diagram rotated behind her, and the phantom of a vitality spring eye emerged.
"I will protect everyone's blood and Qi!"
Chu Wanqing's fingertips fell upon the strings, the Imperial Phoenix power turning into long crimson-gold feathers.
"I am responsible for cutting off these decaying Laws!"
