Chapter 266 Like a ghost in broad daylight
Just as Yang Jingfan finished speaking, a voice appeared above.
"No need to send word, I am already here!"
"General Duan!"
Seeing the middle-aged man in silver armor above, the people at Baoxiang Pass spoke with pleasant surprise, their hearts settling.
Duan Yu came from the Imperial Palace Guards and had once been a personal guard protecting the Emperor. Later, because his cultivation had a Breakthrough to the Celestial Realm, he was sent to guard the northern border.
At this moment, he looked into the distance with a solemn gaze.
Only those who were also in the Celestial Realm could feel how powerful the fluctuations in the distance were; even he was wary of that destructive power.
Boom!
Just then, a loud sound of breaking through the air was heard above, and a black rainbow light came from the distance, its terrifying Aura causing the expressions of everyone at Baoxiang Pass to change drastically.
"Helian Clan Chief?!"
Duan Yu's expression changed as he recognized the person within that black rainbow light.
At this moment, various thoughts flashed through Duan Yu's mind. Who could be chasing Helian Clan Chief to make him flee in such a panic?
"Where do you think you're going!"
With a great roar, Duan Yu's thoughts shifted, and he ascended into the high sky like a silver Dragon, blocking Helian Clan Chief's path.
"Useless trash! Get out of my way!"
Helian Clan Chief's face was as gloomy as ice, and alarm bells rang in his heart; he could not be bothered to waste words with the other party.
Roar!
With a great roar from him, a hundred-foot wolf head appeared in the sky, howling at the heavens with fierce majesty. The terrifying sound waves struck forward, shattering the air inch by inch like glass and kicking up a dreadful storm, startling Duan Yu into hurriedly dodging.
In terms of cultivation, he was quite a bit inferior to Helian Clan Chief.
If they were to clash head-on, he would be no match for Helian Clan Chief.
The rolling sound waves shook the heavens and the earth. After Duan Yu dodged, they slammed directly into the city wall below, causing the wall, which stretched for dozens of miles, to immediately crack and crumble.
"Watch out!"
"Retreat quickly!"
Exclamations rose one after another on the city wall.
Even though several Supreme Grandmasters like Yang Jingfan exerted their Qi in time, erecting protective barriers and guarding their respective areas, they were still shaken by the roar to the point where their internal organs felt like they were splitting, and they vomited blood violently.
As for the soldiers with lower cultivation, it was even more miserable. Many of them exploded with a series of pops under this roar, and the city wall was filled with the smell of blood.
With one wolf howl, Helian Clan Chief barely paused.
He rumbled past the high sky, leaving Duan Yu standing where he was with a gloomy expression, not daring to step forward to stop him again.
That roar just now was one of Helian Clan Chief's strongest moves. If he continued to block him, it looked like Helian Clan Chief would really fight him to the death.
In the current situation, it was better to maintain the status quo.
"Damned thing!"
Helian Clan Chief cursed inwardly.
It was one thing for Yan Chu to chase him; he acknowledged Yan Chu's strength. But what kind of thing were you to dare block the path?
If he were not in such a rush to escape, even if Duan Yu were a Celestial, he would have killed him today!
Just from being blocked for that short breath of time, he had already felt a deep chill strike his heart, as if he were getting closer and closer to death.
This was the intuition belonging to his Celestial Realm.
He knew this was because Yan Chu was getting closer and closer.
Although neither his Divine Sense nor his five senses could detect the other party's trail, he was certain that the other party was right behind him.
Damn it! Like a ghost in broad daylight!
Immediately, Helian Clan Chief could not care about anything else. He burned his Qi and blood, and his speed suddenly increased by thirty percent. The air around him let out dull explosions, and he vanished into the horizon in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the generals at Baoxiang Pass below all felt deeply humiliated.
In their own territory, they allowed an enemy Celestial to come and go as he pleased, and he even cursed their own general and killed at least hundreds of soldiers at Baoxiang Pass with a single roar.
As the Great Jin Dynasty border army, what could be more humiliating than this?
"General, are we just going to let that bastard Helian Clan Chief escape like this?"
Yang Jingfan's deputy general did not even have time to wipe the blood from his mouth, looking angrily at the black shadow disappearing in the distance.
"He killed so many of our soldiers, I really wish I could eat him alive!"
Yang Jingfan's face was also pale, having suffered internal injuries from that roar. Hearing this, he said coldly:
"Then tell me, what should we do?"
"We cannot fight him, and we cannot catch him. Other than swallowing the bitter pill, what other way is there?"
At this time, another deputy general beside him muttered in a low voice:
"General Duan is also a Celestial, why did he not stop him?"
"That Helian Clan Chief was clearly fleeing for his life, and there must be some great expert chasing him from behind. As long as he was blocked for a moment, he would be caught up by them. What was there to be afraid of?"
"Shut your mouth!"
Yang Jingfan immediately scolded in a low voice. He looked up cautiously, and seeing that Duan Yu did not seem to be paying attention to this side, he rebuked:
"These matters are not something we can get involved in. Do your own job!"
Was their own job just to let the Northern Mang Southern Court King kill soldiers at will and do nothing?
At this moment, everyone felt both stifled and distressed in their hearts.
Just as everyone was feeling turbulent and indescribable emotions, a sudden, violent shout rang out from the distance:
"Yan Chu, do you really want to kill us all?!!"
"I am the Northern Mang Southern Court King; if you kill me, eight hundred thousand border troops of the Great Jin Dynasty will be buried with me!"
This shout caused all the embarrassed generals present to raise their heads, looking towards the distance with great joy.
Swoosh!
Above Baoxiang Pass, Duan Yu, whose face had been a mix of green and red, flashed and disappeared from where he stood.
How could he not have heard the low discussions of the people below?
At this moment, there was a build-up of frustration in his heart that desperately needed to be vented.
Seeing Duan Yu chase after him, Yang Jingfan ordered:
"You all wait here, I'll be right back!"
Hearing Helian Clan Chief's desperate, furious voice, he must have been caught up by that great expert. He had to watch this excitement no matter what.
Even if he could not help, he could at least cheer them on!
However... Yan Chu? Why does this name sound so familiar?
Seeing Yang Jingfan step into the air and leave, his two deputy generals looked at each other and instructed the others:
"You all guard the pass with peace of mind, there must be no mistakes!"
As the words fell, the two followed closely behind Yang Jingfan, one after the other.
After the two deputy generals left, two more Supreme Grandmasters flew away, leaving the remaining Great Grandmaster-level generals itching with curiosity.
Unfortunately, a Celestial's roar was at least hundreds of miles away, perhaps even a thousand miles. With their speed, by the time they caught up, the chance would have long passed.
A thousand miles north of Baoxiang Pass.
In a collapsed mountain, Helian Clan Chief looked up with both shock and anger.
On his chest, a charred fist print was clearly visible.
A scorching blast of Qi had invaded his body, and even the breath he exhaled carried an unbearable high heat, melting all the snow on the rocks within hundreds of meters in front of him.
Swoosh!
A figure flashed in the high sky, and Duan Yu appeared nearby, looking at Yan Chu with equal shock and uncertainty.
Just after Helian Clan Chief had left, he had not noticed anyone chasing after him at all. He had not expected that the other party had already intercepted Helian Clan Chief without a sound.
What level of movement technique is this?
