597: Chapter 597

Chen Yang stood behind, Chaos Qi surging; his ruined body had only recently been reconstructed, yet his aura was not in the least bit weak.

Qin Yun stood between the two, his chest rising and falling only slightly, his eyes fixed on the front.

The opposition did not move immediately.

Immortal Zanghe, Immortal Fenyue, Immortal Withered Wood, Immortal Departed Soul, and Immortal Suixing—five figures stood horizontally in the sky.

Gu Zhan spoke.

"Dragging this out any longer won't work."

The next instant, Gu Zhan moved first.

He stepped out, and the Grandmist Qi was no longer just spread out behind him, but transformed into a grey-blue long river, crashing toward the Immortal Zanghe in the very front.

With this collision, even the sky shook.

Immortal Zanghe raised his hand to intercept, but as soon as the phantom of the black river unfolded, it was smashed through by Gu Zhan's punch.

The grey-blue shockwave spread out, forcibly pushing back both Immortal Zanghe and Immortal Fenyue dozens of zhang.

Gu Zhan did not stop.

A second punch, a third punch, fell in succession.

He did not defend at all.

He was simply risking his life.

Every punch smashed into the most dangerous spot, and every punch was buying time for Qin Yun and Chen Yang.

But the situation did not turn around.

Because as soon as Gu Zhan punched through the left side, Immortal Departed Soul on the right filled the gap.

Immortal Fenyue was pushed back, and the Death Qi of Immortal Withered Wood immediately coiled around Gu Zhan's feet.

One moment a gap had been torn open, and the next, it was blocked off by new killing intent.

Blood soon appeared on Gu Zhan's shoulder.

The Grandmist Qi also began to become chaotic.

He could hold on.

But only hold on.

He could not truly break through the situation.

On the other side, Qin Yun and Chen Yang were also being pressed back.

Immortal Suixing personally targeted Qin Yun, his attacks fiercely ruthless.

His son had died at Qin Yun's hands; he only wanted to settle this debt with his life.

Qin Yun had just used Taihuang Sun-Rending to force away a beam of Broken Star killing light when the soul blade of Immortal Departed Soul reached his eyes.

Chen Yang raised his hand and pressed down, blocking most of it for him.

But before the two could catch their breath, the sea of fire from Immortal Fenyue pressed down again.

The three of them stood back-to-back for the first time.

Gu Zhan in front.

Chen Yang on the left.

Qin Yun on the right.

From all directions, it was entirely the killing intent of Pseudo-Immortals.

Qin Yun did not look back.

But the next moment, he and Chen Yang moved simultaneously.

Yangchen Technique, activated again.

Both opened it together.

The Acquired Chaos Origin within Chen Yang's body lit up first, Yin and Yang running in parallel, the old path spreading out.

The semi-Innate Chaos prototype within Qin Yun's body then vibrated, grey Qi flowing, the new path echoing it.

One old, one new.

Two strands of Chaos veins locked together in mid-air.

Not overlapping.

But complementing.

Chen Yang was most familiar with this technique.

Yet Qin Yun's Foundation was more complete.

Once the two resonated, the Yangchen power between heaven and earth immediately pressed down.

Boom!

Chen Yang's aura rose first.

In just an instant, he briefly stepped into the Pseudo-Immortal level.

The aura on Qin Yun's body also surged, the divine brilliance of the Dual Emperor Body exploded simultaneously, and even the Chaos Qi around him became much denser.

With this, the battle situation was finally forcibly pushed back a segment.

Chen Yang raised his hand and struck a palm, directly slapping Immortal Departed Soul away.

Qin Yun flashed to Gu Zhan's side in one step, smashing the Death Seal pressed down by Immortal Withered Wood with a punch.

Gu Zhan took advantage of the momentum to charge forward, the Grandmist long river turning into a single line, crashing through the sea of fire of Immortal Fenyue with a boom.

The three of them had truly pushed back the encirclement for the first time.

But it was only pushed back a little.

Because there were still too many Pseudo-Immortals.

Immortal Zanghe had just been beaten back, and killing light immediately filled the gap from behind.

Immortal Suixing was shaken away, but in the blink of an eye, he brought down even heavier Star Meteor Law.

Gu Zhan's chest felt stifled, and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Yang's aura also began to fluctuate.

The Yangchen Technique was very strong.

But the side effects were also backfiring.

Qin Yun's gaze sank.

It was also at this moment that he and Chen Yang simultaneously sensed another aura.

It did not come from the battlefield before them.

It was pressing in from the further starry sky.

Very familiar.

And very dangerous.

As soon as that aura appeared, the expression on Chen Yang's face sank.

"Ye Xuanli."

Qin Yun's eyes flashed.

Taiyin Immortal.

That one from the Guanghan Heavenly Palace.

That wicked disciple of Chen Yang from the past.

He had not arrived yet.

But his aura was already suppressing the starry sky, pressing toward here.

The distance was getting closer and closer.

The pressure was also getting heavier and heavier.

Qin Yun immediately understood.

If they really waited for Ye Xuanli to land on the battlefield, the situation would directly collapse.

Gu Zhan was still carrying it in the front.

Chen Yang's Yangchen Technique had already begun to backfire.

If they continued to fight, there was only a dead end.

Chen Yang clearly also realized this point.

He said in a low voice: "We must retreat."

Gu Zhan punched Immortal Zanghe back, his voice deep.

"We can't retreat."

Indeed, they could not retreat.

The several Pseudo-Immortals before them were biting too tightly.

Ye Xuanli was also approaching.

This was no longer a question of whether to retreat or not.

It was that if they dragged it out for one more breath, the path to survival would be worn away entirely.

Qin Yun suddenly stepped back half a step.

Gu Zhan and Chen Yang filled the position almost simultaneously, blocking the wave of killing intent in the very front for him.

Chen Yang's eyelid twitched.

"What are you going to do?"

Qin Yun raised his hand.

The void book and Space Treasure within Qin Yun's Sea of Consciousness appeared simultaneously.

He wanted to use the void book and Space Treasure in coordination to forcibly tear open the blockade of this heaven and earth.

Once the aura of the void book and Space Treasure emerged, the group of Pseudo-Immortals could not sit still; they had not expected that Qin Yun actually possessed the Heavenly Book and Heavenly Treasure.

The dao rhyme of the void book rose first, transforming into countless fine spatial patterns, covering the battlefield.

The Pseudo-Immortals understood that once Qin Yun was allowed to truly successfully cast it, he might really escape.

At the most critical moment, Immortal Withered Wood used a Divine Ability and suddenly appeared by Qin Yun's side.

Chen Yang and Gu Zhan were caught off guard, but Immortal Withered Wood had only one goal.

Seize the treasure.

Seize the void book and Space Treasure.

A terrifying Withered Wood Divine Vine erupted from Immortal Withered Wood's hand, tightly binding the void book and Space Treasure in front of Qin Yun.

Qin Yun could not resist it at all.

At the very instant the two treasures were about to be truly seized by Immortal Withered Wood, a blue light erupted from within Qin Yun's body.

The blue light shone directly on Immortal Withered Wood, making him miserable and retreating step by step.

The crisis of the treasure seizure was briefly resolved.

And it was not over yet.

The blue light shone upon Qin Yun, as well as the void book and Space Treasure.

The auras of the three locked together completely at this moment.

Strands of spatial dao rhyme surged madly into Qin Yun's mind.

The several Pseudo-Immortals before them also sensed something wrong and attacked one after another, wanting to interrupt Qin Yun first.

But Gu Zhan and Chen Yang blocked for him like madmen.

Gu Zhan resisted three waves of killing intent alone, blood flowers exploding on his shoulders and back.

Chen Yang forcibly suppressed the backfire, raised his palm again, and forced Immortal Suixing back half a step.

The two, risking injury, only bought one instant for Qin Yun.

But one instant was enough.

Under the blue light, Qin Yun slowly raised his eyes.

The entire battlefield was reflected in his pupils.

Then, he spoke.

"Myriad Heavens Folding Boundary."

The words fell.

The entire battlefield seemed to have been folded once.

But everyone was stunned.

Because space had changed.

Immortal Zanghe, who was originally separated by a thousand zhang, was the next instant folded right before Gu Zhan's fist.

Immortal Fenyue, who had already dodged, suddenly had the space under his feet misaligned, directly crashing into Chen Yang's palm.

Immortal Suixing in the distance was clearly retreating, but as he retreated, he discovered that he was closer to Qin Yun.

Even more terrifyingly, escape techniques failed.

Teleportation failed.

Tearing the Void Realm also failed.

This battlefield was no longer controlled by them.

It was as if it had been grasped into Qin Yun's palm.

The complete battle line that was originally encircling the three was forcibly torn apart by Qin Yun using spatial layering.

The pressure before Gu Zhan suddenly thinned.

The killing intent around Chen Yang was also severed into two sections.

The killing move that Immortal Suixing had aimed at Qin Yun was even folded back by space, sent directly back before himself.

Immortal Suixing's expression changed drastically; he took his own attack head-on, his chest shook on the spot, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Zhan did not miss this opportunity.

He threw a punch, hitting Immortal Zanghe, who had been folded before him, squarely.

Bang!

Half of Immortal Zanghe's body exploded on the spot.

Chen Yang used Myriad Heavens Folding Boundary to stabilize his aura, backhanded a palm, and slapped Immortal Fenyue into a folded and compressed spatial interlayer.

Just as Immortal Fenyue wanted to struggle out, the interlayer had already closed, and his Physical Body was directly pressed until it cracked.

Qin Yun himself was faster.

He stepped across the folded space, appeared on the other side of Gu Zhan, and with one punch deflected the two killing intents that were originally pressing toward Gu Zhan's back.

The next instant, he pulled back, spatial folds reappeared, and he directly sent Immortal Departed Soul before Chen Yang.

Chen Yang grinned.

"Well come."

As the blow fell, Immortal Departed Soul spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole person flew backward.

The situation had turned.

Not because Qin Yun's power was unbeatably stronger than theirs.

But because the spatial level was higher.

It was a dimensionality reduction strike on the level of rules.

The three who were originally being encircled for the first time truly grasped the initiative in the battle.

Myriad Heavens Folding Boundary covered the battlefield.

Gu Zhan and Chen Yang stood firm on the left and right.

The three finally tore out a path of initiative from a sure-defeat situation.
