221: Chapter 221 That's not it.

Shi Jin was slightly taken aback when he saw Chieftain Song He and the others rushing over with such an aggressive Aura.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Without much thought, he flashed forward to meet them, asking urgently, "Brother, why are you here now? The situation here is wrong, don't get involved yet!"

He knew that Chieftain Song He and the others were coming to join forces with the Daming Dynasty, but he hadn't expected the timing to be such a coincidence.

However, it was as if Chieftain Song He and the others hadn't heard his voice at all; they didn't even spare him a single glance.

Their gazes were locked firmly onto the figure in green robes standing with his hands behind his back not far away.

After sizing him up for a few seconds, Chieftain Song He gasped, his voice filled with incredulous shock: "Yuan Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen slowly turned his head. A harmless smile hung on his face as he replied cheerfully, "Hi, long time no see. You have all traveled from afar; surely you aren't here to catch up with me, are you?"

Not far away, the Imperial Dynasty Old Ancestor, Patriarch Zhao Kuo, who was preparing to step forward to support Emperor Zhao Dou, froze abruptly upon hearing the name "Yuan Chen."

He frowned deeply, various rumors about this name flashing rapidly through his mind. His eyes then sharpened as he stared fixedly at Yuan Chen, sneering: "So you are that Yuan Chen who has been stirring up trouble! Hmph, there is a path to Heaven, but you choose not to take it; there is no door to Hell, yet you throw yourself in! Since you have delivered yourself here alone today, it is only fitting that we slaughter you on the spot to eliminate future trouble!"

Before he even finished speaking, Patriarch Zhao Kuo's Aura surged violently. A long sword with a chilling gleam appeared in his hand, its tip pointing straight at Yuan Chen.

"Old Ancestor, don't!" Emperor Zhao Dou shouted anxiously.

But Patriarch Zhao Kuo ignored him completely. "Kill!"

Following Patriarch Zhao Kuo's order, the dozens of accompanying Imperial Dynasty experts moved instantly.

In an instant, Spiritual Qi flashed in the sky, and all sorts of immortal techniques and Magic Treasures bombarded Yuan Chen as if they were worthless.

Fire snakes danced wildly, ice spikes fell like rain, and several terrifying sword Auras tore through the Void Realm, bringing with them an Aura of total destruction as they blanketed the sky, enveloping Yuan Chen.

Emperor Zhao Dou stomped his feet in anxiety. I already told you how powerful the opponent is, why won't you believe me?

Facing this sky-filling attack, Yuan Chen swayed, his entire body transforming into a towering Dragon.

"Clang!" The aggressive attacks seemed to strike an invisible wall, instantly stalling in mid-air before exploding one after another against Yuan Chen's body with "bang, bang, bang" sounds, turning into a sky full of brilliant fireworks.

Fortune Spirit said anxiously: "Hey? What are you doing? Let's talk this out properly!"

I had almost stabilized Yuan Chen; why are you making such a scene? Can you even beat him? If you want to die, don't drag me into it!

On the other side, a glimmer of ruthlessness flashed in Chieftain Song He's eyes.

He knew deep down that today was the perfect opportunity to kill Yuan Chen and must not be missed. He shouted: "Form the Zhou Tian Great Array!"

Following his command, the members of Shuibo quickly shifted positions. An ancient and profound Aura permeated the area, and the phantom of a massive Formation slowly took shape in the Void Realm.

Although a few important leaders had not yet arrived, the defensive power was already sufficient. As long as they could help the Daming Dynasty protect the Imperial Palace, allowing the Daming Dynasty experts to attack Yuan Chen without distraction, it would be enough.

In this way, they could also leave a good impression on the Daming Dynasty, making future cooperation much easier.

Just then, Chieftain Song He suddenly turned to look at Shi Jin, who was standing still in a daze, and roared: "Shi Jin! What are you still standing there for? Why don't you join the Formation and give us a hand!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jin's body trembled slightly, but he did not move an inch.

He had not expected that the Senior who had accompanied him along the way was actually Yuan Chen.

Looking at the calm man in green robes in the center of the crowd, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

"Brother, stop," Shi Jin took a deep breath, his voice somewhat dry. "You are not his match. This Zhou Tian Great Array is nothing but a paper toy in front of him."

"Bullshit!" Chieftain Song He replied furiously. "Shi Jin, are you still my Shuibo brother? Yuan Chen is a major threat to Shuibo and must be eradicated as soon as possible."

Shi Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Then I am not!"

After saying this, Shi Jin flashed away, retreating directly outside the battle circle to watch coldly from the sidelines.

I warned you. Since you insist on seeking death, it has nothing to do with me. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't win; I don't want to throw my life away.

They claimed to be brothers, but it was just living together for convenience. He didn't want to wade into these muddy waters.

"Good! Good! Good!" Chieftain Song He repeated three times. He hadn't expected Shi Jin to bail at a time like this, but the arrow was already on the bowstring, and he had no choice but to fire.

He gritted his teeth and turned back, roaring at the people in the Formation, "Ignore this traitor! Drive the Formation with all your might; we'll deal with him later!"

Chieftain Song He suddenly formed complex hand seals with both hands, his Spiritual Qi surging wildly around him.

The next instant, the world seemed to lose its color.

The originally azure sky was instantly dyed a deep ink-black. Immediately after, countless dazzling golden runes emerged from the Void Realm, like stars falling from the sky, densely covering the entire firmament.

"Rumble—" Accompanied by a deafening roar, these runes quickly intertwined and connected, transforming into a massive net of light that blotted out the sky.

This net of light did not merely cover the battlefield; it spread outward at an incredible speed, instantly enveloping the entire Daming Dynasty palace!

This Zhou Tian Great Array not only possessed indestructible defensive power, but was also a peerless trapping Formation capable of sealing off heaven and earth!

The moment the net of light closed, the circulating runes emitted terrifying fluctuations that made one's heart palpitate.

It completely sealed Yuan Chen, the Imperial Dynasty experts, and even the heaven and earth within a radius of ten thousand miles into this independent space.
