213: Chapter 213 Wild Mutant Divine Beast

The battle broke out quickly.

Upon realizing they had been targeted, Wang Yong and his companion immediately headed downstairs without a word.

Perhaps because this was the border of the Heavenly Domain, everyone was quite bold; more than half of the people in the restaurant followed them down instantly.

The remaining people, seeing that no one dared to trouble Yuan Chen and knowing there was no opportunity, soon left as well.

Only a few people remained seated, clearly not intending to get involved.

Before the figures of Wang Yong and his companion could be seen from the main entrance, a loud crash erupted from the lower floor of the restaurant.

The cries of many people rang out, mixed with the screams of someone, perhaps the owner or a waiter.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! If you keep fighting, my restaurant will be ruined!"

Yuan Chen walked to the window. Wang Yong and his companion were unlucky, as they happened to be sitting by the stairs. Running out the window was impossible, so they had to go downstairs, only to be cornered on the first floor.

However, the material of this restaurant was quite impressive.

Despite the clanging and explosions of the battle below, there wasn't the slightest vibration felt while standing on the second floor.

Within a few seconds, some disheveled customers ran out of the main entrance, all looking rather unpleasant.

They glanced back at the restaurant and then turned and left.

Clearly, they were just bystanders who had been caught up in the fray and had no intention of fighting for the spoils.

Afterward, several corpses were thrown out, but the figures of Wang Yong and his companion were nowhere to be seen.

Yuan Chen guessed they might already be dead inside.

There were several Nascent Soul Realm experts among them; the two of them surely couldn't survive.

As Yuan Chen waited, the figures of the Yunling Guards finally came into view.

However, it wasn't just one.

Perhaps because there were too many people killing this time, Yunling Guards from the surrounding areas had arrived.

There were both strong and weak ones, but after all, it was just a small town, and among the many Yunling Guards, there was only one at the Soul Transformation Stage.

"The Yunling Guards are here, run!"

A shout rang out from the crowd, and subsequently, dozens of people ran out from the first floor.

Seeing the approaching Yunling Guards, their expressions turned anxious.

However, they did not stop their actions.

They continued to brawl while moving toward the direction of the Profound Domain.

Yuan Chen scrutinized the Yunling Guards one by one.

For the sake of management, every Yunling Guard appeared in human form, but their entire bodies, including their armor, were transparent; one could even see the scene behind them through their bodies.

It would not be an exaggeration to call them humanoid smoke.

They all held a transparent chain in their hands.

After getting close, they all swung their hands to grab their targets.

Each one had dull eyes, said nothing, and did not interfere with one another.

"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky! Why did it target me?"

A Golden Core Cultivator was terrified, quickly disengaged from the battle, and turned to run.

Because that Soul Transformation Stage Yunling Guard was heading straight for him.

It ignored everything else, even after passing through crowds of others fighting.

The others breathed a sigh of relief, dealing with the Yunling Guards coming toward them while looking for opportunities to ambush the Cultivator who had snatched the Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact.

"Dad, why did they suddenly start fighting?"

Yuan Yun approached and asked, puzzled.

They were eating perfectly fine, then suddenly saw a group of people stand up at the same time, followed by the clattering sounds of a fight below.

"Not everyone is as wealthy as our Dragon Clan."

Yuan Chen explained with a smile.

high-grade spiritual tools were just lying around in the Exotic Beast Mansion; Yuan Yun simply didn't understand the value of a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact among these Cultivators.

"That's right. Before your mother married your father, there weren't even a few Medium Grade Spiritual Artifacts in the entire clan."

Ye Lingling also stepped forward and sighed.

Back then, her father was already a Soul Transformation expert, yet he still made do with a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact.

As the family chatted, Yuan Chen raised an eyebrow.

He actually saw Wang Yong and his companion.

They weren't dead yet!

But they were covered in blood, and they no longer had the Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact in their hands.

However, they hadn't given up yet; they were flying on the periphery, their eyes fixed tightly on the two Cultivators holding the Medium Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

This was clearly their item; how could they bear to let it go just like that?

"Hahaha! It truly lives up to being a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact."

The middle-aged man holding the long spear suppressed everyone with each strike. After piercing and exploding a woman's head with one strike, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Heavens have mercy!

He was, after all, a Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, yet this was the first time he had touched a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact.

To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing.

But this was located in the remote corners of the Daming Dynasty, and he had no background or channels to obtain one.

This is the feeling, ah~

Fang Shan shrieked, and the long spear in his hand danced with increasing ferocity.

Just as he felt he was about to soar, he caught a glimpse of a white shadow in his peripheral vision.

His smile vanished, and he immediately pulled back, quickly turning the spear just as it was about to pierce and explode the Yunling Guard.

He let the Yunling Guard's iron chain pierce through his chest.

With a tearing sound, half his shoulder was ripped off.

Fang Shan's face turned pale; he quickly coagulated his blood to restore the severed limb and retreated several steps.

He muttered with trembling lips: "Good, good, thankfully I didn't kill the opponent."

He breathed a sigh of relief, glared viciously at the few people surrounding him, swept them back with his spear, and no longer wanting to fight, turned and ran.

He was lucky this time; the one targeting him was only a Golden Core Yunling Guard.

He had to be careful, otherwise, if he killed this one, a Nascent Soul Yunling Guard would immediately come to hunt him down.

Yuan Chen watched from the side, speechless.

Is the loophole this big?

And that Soul Transformation Stage Yunling Guard, after finishing off its first target, just stood there motionless. As long as its Nascent Soul Realm peers weren't dead, it wouldn't even take a look.

"In that case, wouldn't they just become decorations? Wouldn't it be better to just hold a Yunling Guard hostage, walk out of the Daming Dynasty's territory, and wait for it to naturally dissipate?"

"That is not the case."

Just then, the man sitting alone at the corner stood up and came over.

The man had thick limbs and a resolute face. After smiling kindly at Yuan Chen, he said slowly.

"No one can guarantee what Realm the nearest Yunling Guard is. What if you accidentally summon a Mahayana Stage Yunling Guard? Wouldn't you lose even the chance to run? Furthermore, if this Yunling Guard cannot eliminate its target within a day, it will dissipate on its own. This is only because we are at the border of the Heavenly Domain; if we were in the heartland, one could never escape within a day."

Yuan Chen nodded; that did make some sense.

Not everyone had an escape Spiritual Artifact like a Divine Boat.

"Eh? Are you of the Dragon Clan?"

He hadn't noticed before, but now, after Yuan Chen took a serious look at the man, he suddenly realized.

Being of the same kind, there was naturally some resonance, but the man's aura was mixed, and his Dragon Clan aura was somewhat obscure, which was why he hadn't noticed it.

He looked again, his eyes becoming increasingly strange.

If he wasn't mistaken, the person opposite him was also a mutated Top-tier Divine Beast.

How come he had never heard of this person?

That shouldn't be!

Are Top-tier Divine Beasts that precious?

Yuan Chen could guarantee that this was definitely not his offspring.

How old was he anyway?

The man's eyes flickered, and then he scoffed.

"It's just a bit of Bloodline."

Thinking of how his mother had been driven out of the Dragon Clan while pregnant, and how his mother's Blood-Pattern Clan had been secretly slaughtered to the last person, a surge of ferocity welled up in the man's eyes.

Suppressing his anger, he cupped his hands toward Yuan Chen.

"Let's get acquainted. I am Shi Jin."
