190: Minghuang's injuries were not in vain!
“He has left the Xuantian Sect. Are you two ready?”
A chilling voice rang out, seemingly imbued with endless killing intent.
“Positioned!”
“Stopping those two won't be a problem!”
Two voices rang out simultaneously, then fell silent... Chu Yuan and Su Yao left the Xuantian Sect, heading directly towards the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains on their swords.
But at this moment, Chu Yuan suddenly felt a tremor in his heart, and his brows furrowed.
“Senior Sister, follow me closely later!”
Su Yao was surprised, “Junior Brother, what’s wrong?”
Chu Yuan frowned and said, “I keep feeling a tremor in my heart. Just follow me closely later!”
“Oh, okay!”
Su Yao nodded, then her eyes darted, and with a movement of her body, she jumped onto Chu Yuan's sword.
Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, “Senior Sister, what are you doing?”
“You scared me, Junior Brother, protect me!”
Su Yao huddled in Chu Yuan's arms, but a sly, faint smile played on the corner of her lips.
Chu Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling a bit speechless.
But with the soft fragrance in his arms, there was no reason to refuse, so he reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist.
However, the trepidation in his heart grew stronger and stronger, causing his brows to furrow tightly.
He sent his thoughts into the spirit governing space, instructing Ming Huang Ghost God to obey his command and emerge at any time to protect him.
He also sent messages to Bai Zhi and Ye Qingyi, informing them of the current situation, which only then allowed him to relax a little.
Ming Huang Ghost God, an existence who had just entered the Late Stage of Ghost God Realm, was the strongest among the three great Ghost Gods at that time, so he figured that was enough to protect him.
But shortly after he entered the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, he suddenly felt a wave of danger approaching.
Lightning flashed around him, and he vanished from his original spot, holding Su Yao.
“Boom!”
A terrifying attack struck, colliding violently with the light-chasing sword.
The light-chasing sword was directly destroyed!
Chu Yuan held Su Yao tightly, lightning flashing around his body, revealing a Thunder Armor.
“What a Prodigy of a boy, he has already stepped into the Initial Stage of Spirit Soul Realm and even mastered a God-level Spirit Skill. Truly astonishing!”
A cold voice rang out, and four Black-Robed Figures appeared from all directions, surrounding Chu Yuan and Su Yao.
“One God Realm, three Venerable Realm. You really think highly of me, Chu!”
Chu Yuan looked sharply at the God Realm Black-Robed Figure, “If I’m not mistaken, Your Excellency is Jiang Taixu, the Demon God Cult Leader, a remnant of the Demon God Cult who barely survived, right?”
“You still know me?”
Jiang Taixu frowned slightly, “It seems you know quite a lot!”
Chu Yuan's eyes brightened slightly, and his heart stirred.
The heart blood of the Great Xia Imperial Family Bloodline had already been obtained; what Yu Qingyan and Bai Zhi brought back both caused the sumeru ring to vibrate.
Now only Jiang Taixu's remained.
If he could obtain a drop and replicate it, perhaps he could unlock the Seal.
Chu Yuan suppressed his thoughts, frowned, and asked, “If you ambush me like this, aren’t you afraid my Revered Master and Bai Zhi will come?”
“Heh heh, you’re thinking too much.”
Jiang Taixu sneered, “I might as well tell you, those three are being held back, and even Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss has people blocking the way. Today, you, boy, must die!”
Chu Yuan frowned, “You are quite well-prepared, but with your strength, why are you wasting so much time talking to me? What are you after?”
Jiang Taixu nodded slightly, “This Venerable wants to know, are you the dark demon sword fiend? And was it you who exposed the location of my Demon God Cult headquarters?”
Chu Yuan nodded in understanding, “It seems you’ve guessed it, but do you really think the four of you can kill me?”
“Hmph!”
Jiang Taixu snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain, “You are truly arrogant. Without those three protecting you, what are you?”
“Is that so?”
Chu Yuan sneered, and the Nine Palaces Maze Formation he had prepared instantly activated.
A dense fog instantly spread, enveloping Jiang Taixu and the other three.
“Damn it, how did you get your hands on this ninth-grade Formation Plate?”
Chu Yuan held Su Yao, his brows tightly furrowed.
Previously, it was Bai Zhi's Divided Soul that helped control the Formation, allowing it to exert its maximum power.
Now that Bai Zhi wasn't here, with his strength, activating the Nine Palaces Maze Formation could only hold Jiang Taixu for a moment.
At this point, he could only hope that Bai Zhi and the others would arrive soon.
His mind stirred, and Ming Huang Ghost God quietly appeared, heading towards Jiang Taixu.
Su Yao finally recovered, her small face looking very pale.
“Junior Brother, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have...”
Chu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed her head, interrupting with a smile, “Don’t say silly things. Their target is me. Even if this incident hadn’t happened, they would have found an opportunity.”
“To be honest, it’s I who have implicated Senior Sister.”
“Junior Brother, I...”
“Alright, stop talking and stay quiet. I will protect you.”
As Chu Yuan spoke, his gaze pierced through the fog, looking towards Jiang Taixu's location.
He saw the opponent attacking all directions with full force, attempting to destroy the Formation.
However, at this moment, a strange attack suddenly appeared behind him.
“Pfft!”
With a soft sound, a ghostly claw suddenly tore through his chest.
Jiang Taixu's expression changed drastically, and he turned around, unleashing his strongest attack, fiercely striking Ming Huang.
Ming Huang spat out black blood, also severely injured, and vanished into the fog.
“Damn it, how could there still be a God Realm existence here?”
Jiang Taixu circulated his spiritual energy to stop his injuries, his face extremely grim.
Chu Yuan accepted the heart blood that Ming Huang had brought back at the cost of severe injury and placed it in the primal origin space.
Seeing Duanmu Shenfeng's sumeru ring react, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ming Huang's injury was not in vain!
But at this moment, Chu Yuan saw Jiang Taixu take out a spiritual talisman, and his expression changed slightly.
He quickly ordered Ming Huang to deal with the three Venerable Realm cultivators first.
Ming Huang took the order and left.
As Chu Yuan watched Jiang Taixu activate the spiritual talisman, the talisman suddenly erupted with a fierce blaze.
“Eighth-grade Heaven-Burning Talisman!”
Chu Yuan's expression changed in alarm, and he hastily withdrew his mind from controlling the Formation Plate, but was still affected.
He spat out fresh blood, watching the Formation being broken and cracks appearing on the Formation Plate in his hand.
Without time to think, Chu Yuan put away the Formation Plate, and holding Su Yao, transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled into the distance.
Seeing the Formation broken, Ming Huang stopped hunting the last Venerable Realm cultivator, his figure flickering as he advanced to entangle Jiang Taixu.
Jiang Taixu's expression changed in alarm, “Ming Huang Ghost God, weren’t you in Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss? How could you appear here?”
“That’s none of your business.”
Ming Huang snorted coldly and attacked with full force, but he was a few points more injured than Jiang Taixu, and Jiang Taixu was at the Peak of Spirit God Realm, so he was no match.
However, with Ming Huang fully holding him back, Jiang Taixu couldn't kill him in a short while.
Jiang Taixu was furious, “Qin Xu, go kill that boy, or don’t bother coming back.”
“Yes!”
The remaining Demon God Cultist responded, transforming into a streak of blood-light, chasing after Chu Yuan. His speed was not much slower than Chu Yuan's.
“Boy, you can’t escape.”
Qin Xu's face was pale, and it wasn't long before he was about to catch up to Chu Yuan.
The Divine Rank Spirit Skill, Thunder Shadow Steps, consumed a great deal of Qi, and coupled with Chu Yuan suffering a backlash from the Formation, the impact was significant.
If Chu Yuan were alone, he wouldn't have been caught up by the opponent, but he was carrying Su Yao.
Su Yao obviously noticed this and struggled gently, “Junior Brother, let me down. You can escape alone.”
