Free Web NovelChapter 1651: Chapter 1648: Sky Demon Palace! (Part 1)
Suddenly!
A deafening roar like thunder echoed from the distance!
Li Chen focused his gaze and found it was in the direction of Wuji City.
With this in mind, without any hesitation, he transformed into a stream of light and rushed over quickly.
At this moment, Wuji City had already turned into ruins.
There were a total of four black-clad men at the scene!
Two of them were engaged in combat with Bai Cang and Bai Wuji.
The third was slaughtering the citizens of Wuji City like a tiger in a flock of sheep.
In just 15 minutes, tens of thousands of Wuji City citizens had tragically died under his blade.
These three were cultivators of the Quasi-Mahayana Realm!
And the fourth was a genuine Mahayana Divine Monarch.
He stood in the air like a king, overlooking everything below, showing no intention of stepping in.
It seemed Bai Cang and Bai Wuji were still unworthy of his attention.
Bai Cang was considered to be of the Quasi-Mahayana Realm, but his cultivation had just recovered, far from his peak battle strength.
Relatively speaking, Bai Wuji’s strength was even weaker, merely at the Half-step Mahayana Realm.
At this moment, both were at a disadvantage.
Moreover, they were concerned about the safety of Wuji City’s citizens, unwilling to leave alone, and had to hold on desperately.
"Wuji, this place is dangerous, hurry and leave!"
Bai Cang’s brows were furrowed tightly, like a chain pulling a boat together.
"Swish!"
In the instant he was distracted, the mysterious figure he was fighting against seized the opportunity, swinging his hand like a blade that split the air, extending towards him.
Although Bai Cang realized the danger, the opponent’s strike was too vicious and at an extremely tricky angle.
He had no time to dodge, forced to respond hastily.
"Pfft!"
Bai Cang’s hastily constructed defense was split apart by the opponent’s hand blade.
He only felt a sweet sensation in his throat, spurting blood into the air.
Immediately, Bai Cang felt his entire body like a kite with a broken string, violently thrown backward.
"Grandfather!"
Bai Wuji hurried to rescue upon seeing his grandfather severely injured.
At this point, two black-clad men surrounded Bai Wuji and Bai Cang from front and back.
The leading black-clad man looked down arrogantly, coldly asking, "Where is the Chalk Divine Turtle?"
Bai Cang coughed heavily twice, speaking politely, "The Chalk Divine Turtle has already left White Star!"
But before he could finish, the leading black-clad man snapped fiercely.
"Lies! The Chalk Divine Turtle has been restrained by my master’s spell; it couldn’t possibly leave White Star on its own!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang and the others were momentarily stunned.
Was the Chalk Divine Turtle restricted by someone?
The formidable figure before them was a genuine Mahayana Divine Monarch.
To be called master by him, what kind of terrifying powerhouse must that be?
Thinking of this, Bai Cang, Bai Wuji, and the others involuntarily shivered, their eyes filled with fear.
The mysterious figure snapped again, "Tell me, where did the Chalk Divine Turtle go?"
Bai Cang pondered for a moment before responding, "It was taken away by someone!"
The mysterious figure was shocked upon hearing this, eagerly asking, "Who dared to touch my master’s desired beast pet?"
Bai Cang hesitated, unsure if he should betray Li Chen.
After all, Li Chen had saved his life.
But if he didn’t betray Li Chen, today he himself and tens of thousands of Wuji City citizens might be slaughtered entirely.
The mysterious figure seemed to see Bai Cang’s hesitation!
Suddenly!
He struck fiercely with his hand, hitting Bai Cang’s heart and Life Gate.
"Pfft!"
Bai Cang coughed up blood once more, staining the sky.
"Grandfather!"
Bai Wuji rushed forward to support his grandfather upon seeing him cough blood again.
But Bai Cang pushed him away forcefully.
Bai Cang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked down arrogantly, and stared intensely at the mysterious strong figure in the air.
"I can tell the person’s name. But you must promise to spare the citizens of Wuji City!"
After Bai Cang spoke, the mysterious strong figure paused and then laughed out loud.
"Haha, someone like you, nothing but an ant, dares to bargain with me!"
The sound of mad laughter still echoed in the air as the mysterious strong figure struck fiercely once more. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Yet this strike didn’t hit Bai Cang.
Instead, it fell upon Wuji City!
The Hand Energy was like a towering mountain, pressing down violently.
Thousands of citizens were instantly crushed into a bloody paste, unbearably tragic.
Seeing their citizens endure such brutal slaughter, Bai Cang and Bai Wuji’s hearts bled.
They screamed desperately, but it was futile.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, weakness itself is the greatest sin!
The mysterious strong figure waved his sleeve, speaking coldly, "You have no bargaining leverage with me; now tell me, who took the Chalk Divine Turtle?"
"It was me!"
As soon as the mysterious strong figure spoke, a voice like thunder erupted.
Immediately, a graceful young man with sword-like eyebrows and sparkling eyes parted the Cloud Sky and descended gracefully.
The person was none other than Li Chen!
Upon seeing Li Chen’s arrival, hope immediately gleamed in Bai Cang’s dim eyes.
Bai Wuji also hurriedly called out, "Divine Lord Li!"
Hearing Bai Wuji call the newcomer a Divine Lord shocked the mysterious strong figure.
He carefully scrutinized Li Chen, coldly asking, "I am Hei Yan, protector of the Sky Demon Palace. May I know your name and where you trained?"
Li Chen also scrutinized this protector from the Sky Demon Palace, unemotionally responding, "I am Li Chen, without formal training, just a Loose Cultivator!"
Upon hearing Li Chen claim to be just a Loose Cultivator, Hei Yan’s tightly knit brow relaxed slightly.
Seeing Li Chen so young already as a Mahayana Divine Monarch worried him about the other’s potential background.
Although the Sky Demon Palace is a superpower that reverberates across billions of territories.
Yet this universe is vast, and from what he knows, there are not fewer than a handful of forces that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sky Demon Palace.
As for the tian jiao or Holy Daughter from such outstanding forces, it’s better not to provoke them if possible; lest anger their ancestors and invite endless trouble.
But if the other is a Loose Cultivator with no background, no matter how gifted, they fear nothing.
Considering this, Hei Yan’s speech became more brazen.
"Hehe, just a Loose Cultivator, dare to show off before me? I see your talent is good, a pity to just kill you. Why not come with me back to the Sky Demon Palace, if the master favors you, it’d be a chance you’d never gain even in eighteen lifetimes!"
