Chapter 1298 - 1297: Xuan Wuye
"It’s been a long time since anyone’s made me this disheveled... The last time, it was probably thirty years ago."
Dao Yi True Immortal grinned, licking his somewhat dry lips, and in his gaze towards Ling Chen, there unexpectedly appeared a trace of the long-lost will to fight.
The blood that had been dormant within him for so long was actually awakened by Ling Chen.
A little guy he didn’t even put in his eyes.
The sword from Ling Chen just now caused him significant damage.
"Today, I can finally move around a bit."
Dao Yi True Immortal stared intently at Ling Chen, clearly seeing Ling Chen as an opponent of equal strength.
His True Qi burst out violently, and after a spell of brewing, Dao Yi True Immortal suddenly prepared to attack Ling Chen, but just then, Ling Chen shouted, "Wait!"
The action came to an abrupt halt, and Dao Yi True Immortal looked at Ling Chen with some surprise. What was this kid trying to pull?
"Isn’t Your Excellency’s goal the Wood Emperor Order?"
Ling Chen looked at Dao Yi True Immortal with an air of composure, breathing steadily, "There’s no need for our fight to continue. That last sword was to test Your Excellency’s strength. Now that the testing is over, why not stop there?"
"Stop there? Do you think this is a sparring match?"
Upon hearing Ling Chen’s words, Dao Yi True Immortal was somewhat amused. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t take Ling Chen’s words to heart, and his figure moved out fiercely, rushing towards Ling Chen with an overwhelming momentum!
At the moment Dao Yi True Immortal moved, Ling Chen abruptly turned, fleeing at high speed, actually choosing to escape rather than engage!
"Trying to leave?!"
A chill flashed in Dao Yi True Immortal’s eyes. He understood that the sword from Ling Chen could only be performed once with his skill. After that sword, Ling Chen reverted back to his original state immediately!
This kid Ling Chen posed a huge threat and would be a menace if left alive. Dao Yi True Immortal was unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity; he was determined to kill Ling Chen and leave him no escape.
With Dao Yi True Immortal’s speed, it took only a few breaths for him to catch up to Ling Chen, looking as if he’d catch him soon.
Ling Chen felt his scalp tingling, dealing with such a demon was truly headache-inducing.
But just then, a graceful shadow appeared behind him, positioned right in Dao Yi True Immortal’s path, clearly intending to help Ling Chen block Dao Yi True Immortal!
"Don’t make a mess!"
Ling Chen was startled. The strength of Dao Yi True Immortal was no joke, and with Xuannv’s current cultivation, she simply could not withstand Dao Yi True Immortal’s attack.
"You’ve already saved me twice, so I should repay the favor at least once."
Xuannv didn’t look back. She simply pushed her True Qi to the limit, her eyes focused on the rapidly approaching Dao Yi True Immortal, showing no signs of fear.
"Such a devoted couple!"
Dao Yi True Immortal’s eyes grew colder. Anyway, both were going to die; the order only made a difference to him, so if Xuannv wanted to interfere, she’d be killed first!
He unleashed his massive Palm Power, enveloping Xuannv completely, cutting off all her retreat!
"This is bad!"
Seeing this, Ling Chen’s face changed dramatically. Had he known it would end like this, he might as well have handed over the Wood Emperor Order!
"Xuan’er!"
Even Elder Len shouted loudly, a hint of despair in his eyes. Under this kind of attack, Xuannv had not a shred of a chance of survival.
With all paths of retreat sealed, Xuannv prepared to make a final resistance, yet the space around her compressed inch by inch, threatening to crush her into powder in a blink.
"Am I going to die here?"
Xuannv’s heart sank. Against overwhelming power, any method was futile. But just as the Palm Power was about to tighten, suddenly it stopped just inches from her.
The entire space seemed to freeze abruptly.
"Hmm?"
Even Xuannv was startled, then she looked around, her pupils contracting slightly. In her line of sight, an enigmatic golden rune emerged and these golden runes forcibly halted the massive Palm Power.
Someone was helping her!
Xuannv’s heart stirred, this familiar aura fluctuation, was it...?
Her gaze suddenly lifted. In the air, a golden chaotic portal had appeared, and from this portal emerged a shadowy figure.
"That is..."
Ling Chen’s eyes also contracted. From the white-robed figure emerging from the golden chaotic portal, an immensely powerful aura wafted from them.
"It’s the Sect Leader of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao, Xuan Wuye."
At that moment, a look of astonishment appeared in Shen Bingxin’s eyes, recognizing the suddenly appearing figure.
"Sect Leader!"
As the white-robed figure appeared, the strong members of Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao, including Elder Len, showed expressions of joy on their faces.
"Is this person really the Sect Leader Xuan Wuye of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao, personally coming here?"
A glimmer of awe appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes. Aside from the Lingyue Island Master Saint Purple Heart, it was his first time seeing the leader of other super sects.
Being the Sect Leader of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao, Xuan Wuye’s cultivation was indeed extraordinary. Ling Chen could feel that Xuan Wuye’s aura was a level higher than Elder Len’s and Shen Bingxin’s, likely not much different from Dao Yi True Immortal, having reached the Saint Dao Seventh Layer, stepping into the level of a High-order Saint.
"A dignified High-order Saint dares strike at a disciple of my Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao? Demon Way people, truly base and shameless!"
Xuan Wuye said lightly, his voice echoing in the mid-air, looking at Dao Yi True Immortal not far away.
"Heh, Xuan Wuye, the dirty deeds your Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao has done probably aren’t fewer than mine, are they?"
Dao Yi True Immortal sneered coldly, although a look of gravity appeared on his face. With Xuan Wuye blocking his way, obtaining the Wood Emperor Order became tens of times more difficult!
Just then, from the Human Demon Hall’s shades that were fighting against the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao’s forces, four figures suddenly stepped out. They pressed their two fingers together, infusing black True Qi into their fingertips, turning them deep black. As their fingers shook, the surrounding space vibrated.
"Whoosh!"
Four beams of black light, each as thick as an arm, shot out violently from their fingertips, slicing massive marks in the sky and emanating an extremely terrifying destructive power.
