235: A half-step Nascent Soul cultivator makes a move!

His figure was like lightning, appearing beside the group of Nascent Soul Cultivators in an instant.

"I am preparing to strike, and you must strike as well!"

The unquestionable voice rang out, causing the Nascent Soul Cultivators present to look over one after another.

But after they saw the person clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"You are a half-step... Deity Transformation Venerable!"

Everyone's hearts were filled with shock, and they all thought to themselves: "Didn't the Haitian South Pavilion issue an order beforehand that no half-step Deity Transformation Venerable is allowed to appear in low-level Prefectures?"

Why did a Deity Transformation Venerable suddenly appear in Donglin Prefecture?!

To this, their first reaction was that the matter of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons' invasion had been leaked.

If that were truly the case, it might trigger many unnecessary disturbances.

Just then, a person stepped forward; he was the current Sect Master of the Cloud Heaven Sect—Gu Yancheng.

"The Cloud Heaven Sect follows Senior Baili's command!"

He cupped his hands in a salute to the former and then looked at the others, saying, "Fellow Daoists, this Senior Baili is a Loose Cultivator passing through, merely staying temporarily."

"The person in the Heavenly Demons' lair is Senior Baili's subordinate."

"Senior Baili does not wish to interfere in the matters of our Donglin Prefecture; appearing this time is presumably to rescue that person."

Under Gu Yancheng's explanation, everyone's worries were finally set aside, and they responded one after another.

Although they didn't really want to strike, having a half-step Soul Transformation Cultivator to assist in the battle was indeed a good opportunity to exterminate the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons!

"I will step in to stop the strongest Outer Realm Heavenly Demon; leave the rest to you!"

After Baili Yuanlong finished speaking, his figure vanished instantly.

"Yes! We obey Senior's decree!"

...Meanwhile, inside the Mechanical City, which was almost half in ruins.

Lin Ce was being ganged up on by three Outer Realm Heavenly Demons in their lair. His figure flashed continuously within the Mechanical City as he fought them.

Despite his extraordinary combat power, facing these three Outer Realm Heavenly Demons who were almost at the same Realm and possessed many tricks, he was finding it a bit hard to handle.

As time passed, his injuries grew more severe, and the armor on his body was shattered almost beyond recognition during the intense battle.

In a flash, one Outer Realm Heavenly Demon suddenly accelerated strangely and gripped Lin Ce tightly with its giant palm.

The latter thought to himself how bitter it was, and was then slammed fiercely toward the ground by the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon.

A dull thud rang out, deafeningly loud.

The power of this strike was immense, but the ground of the Mechanical City had already been specially reinforced, so only a small crater was formed in the end.

"Cough, cough, pfft..." Looking closer.

Lin Ce was slammed hard into the ground, his bones felt as if they were about to break, a metallic taste welled up in his throat, and blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.

If not for the fact that a Nascent Soul Cultivator's physique is naturally strong, and that he primarily focused on body tempering, this strike would have been enough to make him lose his combat effectiveness.

"Qin Dong, oh Qin Dong, your Revered Master has really been screwed over by you this time."

Above his head, an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon was raising its foot, then stomping down heavily.

Lin Ce had no time to think and hurriedly left the crater, falling back into a state of intense fighting... while in a certain corner, Qin Dong was using a Cultivation Technique to destroy the magnetic field shield while looking uneasily at the distant sky.

Over there, Lin Ce was being beaten by the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon like a little chick.

Worry began to rise in his heart, making him ask the System, "System, are you really sure my cheap Revered Master won't be in trouble?"

"The way he looks, it seems like he's about to be beaten to death."

[Ding, Host can rest assured, how could this System lie to you?]

[His current situation is very good!]

"Then why is he screaming?"

[Ding, does the Host know about roller coasters?]

[Ding, when riding a roller coaster, although one will shout because of the tension and excitement, in reality, there is basically no danger.]

[Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for your Revered Master to shout a bit louder!]

The System's words were like a shot of adrenaline, making Qin Dong feel a little more at ease; after all, he didn't want to cause the death of his cheap Revered Master.

"I see. If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

With that thought, Qin Dong continued to focus on his own business.

He said firmly, "Almost there, less than a few layers of defense left. Just a little more effort."

"400,000 top-up points! Here I come!"

...[Beep, detected a sharp drop in the target's life aura; suggest switching to the Energy Resonance Spear!]

[You two pin down the target, I will activate the Energy Resonance Spear!]

[Beep beep, Gefan Taloros, agreed!]

[Beep beep, Battle Axe Dark Sealing God, agreed!]

Lin Ce was dazed from the combined attacks of the three Outer Realm Heavenly Demons. At this critical moment, his gaze swept over one of the demons and found it had quietly retreated to the rear; the air around it seemed to gradually become condensed and heavy because of it.

A trace of panic instantly rose in his heart, and he immediately realized that this demon was preparing some kind of killing move.

"Escape!" Lin Ce tried to flee again.

But unfortunately, he was in a predicament. How could the other two Outer Realm Heavenly Demons let him have his way? They launched a barrage of attacks like a violent storm, leaving him nowhere to run.

Soon, that Outer Realm Heavenly Demon finished preparing its killing move. A surge of black energy began to wrap around its left arm, and gradually, the entire left arm turned into a spear.

That pitch-black energy shimmered with a countless malevolent aura. Even though Lin Ce had experienced countless life-and-death battles, he had never felt such a strong sense of suffocation as he did now—it was an instinctive fear of danger from the depths of his Soul!

With a boom, the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon rushed forward rapidly, holding the spear constructed of black energy to attack Lin Ce in mid-air.

Lin Ce had a premonition that if he were hit, he would definitely perish on the spot.

At this moment, the two Outer Realm Heavenly Demons nearby suddenly unleashed some kind of strange lightning. Those violent currents wandered wildly, crackling.

With a whoosh, a sea of lightning covered the area.

Instantly submerging Lin Ce in a sea of blue lightning, making him unable to move for a moment, only able to watch helplessly as that Outer Realm Heavenly Demon rushed toward him.

"Qin Dong, oh Qin Dong, your Revered Master has really been screwed over by you this time."

Despair spread in Lin Ce's heart, but what he didn't know was that a bronze eye pattern lit up slightly on his forehead.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ce.

With a light wave of his sleeve, a massive force suddenly arrived, blocking the black spear.

With another wave of his sleeve, the three Outer Realm Heavenly Demons were all sent flying.

Boom, boom, boom! The sound of them hitting the ground crushed countless mechanical barracks.

Fortunately, at this time, the Races originally stationed in the Mechanical City had already completed their emergency evacuation; otherwise, who knows how many of them would have been crushed into paste.

The half-step Deity Transformation Venerable has arrived!
