Chapter 1116: Chapter 747: Turmoil (Part 2)
"You’re full of shit! I knew you Dao Palace have ill intentions, wanting to hog the treasure all for yourselves!"
"I absolutely won’t let you succeed!"
Everyone started clamoring again!
"You want to fight me for the Dao Stone? Then I’ll send you on your way!"
Ge Hengzi shouted coldly, and with a reverse palm strike, he was about to annihilate those people.
"Stop!"
Wu Yumen immediately realized what was happening and was about to intervene. If the out-of-control Ge Hengzi began a killing spree, the prestige of Dao Palace would be questioned!
But Wu Qiuhong shouted: "Wait, something’s not right, don’t make a move, he might be confused by someone! The enemy is probably in our position, waiting to rescue while we’re distracted!"
Wu Qiuhong kept her attention on the human child Chu Xi from the beginning, being very cautious, she was always watching over Chu Xi.
Wu Yumen gritted his teeth and did not intervene. He immediately ordered other Inquiry Dao realm’s border-level elders of the Dao Palace to take action, fortunately at this time, Jingxi City did not lack border-level elders, without needing Wu Yumen to act, those Inquiry Dao realm experts went out to intercept Ge Hengzi!
"Ge Hengzi, don’t act rashly!"
One of the elders in the Inquiry Dao realm shouted, rushing towards Ge Hengzi, taking on Ge Hengzi’s attack!
Ge Hengzi was instantly furious, his eyes faintly glowing with a red light, shouted at his colleague: "You also want to fight me for the Dao Stone? I’ll kill you first!"
Bang!
The violent aura instantly blasted towards the border-level elder of the Inquiry Dao realm, his strike was not something those Immortal Realm experts could compare with earlier, the Inquiry Dao realm’s attack shattered the houses in an instant!
"Ge Hengzi, have you gone mad!" The border-level elder in the Inquiry Dao realm shouted.
But Ge Hengzi gave no chance for the opponent to explain, unleashing a barrage of attacks on that elder!
His attacks were deflected, all smashing into the ground!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
To everyone’s shock, when Ge Hengzi’s attack hit the ground, the formation originally condensed from powerful breath soil shattered, countless breath soil collapsed, and the streets suspended in the void immediately crumbled!
Rumble!
As if triggering a chain reaction, the buildings and streets of the entire Jingxi City cracked and collapsed!
"How did Jingxi City get destroyed?"
Everyone in Dao Palace was dumbfounded!
The breath soil formation of every city is indestructible, even ascension realm experts cannot destroy it, yet no one expected, with one sudden strike, Ge Hengzi shattered the city into dust!
There were still many experts from the Great Witch Clan, when they saw the breath soil collapse, they didn’t hesitate, immediately using their ability to control the breath soil to try to stop the fracturing trend, but suddenly countless tender green branches and roots spread within the breath soil.
These branches and roots, though insignificant, grew densely within the breath soil, hindering the Great Witch Clan experts from repairing the breath soil.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The entire Jingxi City was utterly destroyed.
Many cultivators still inside the houses rushed out in a hurry, fortunately, the basic strength of people in Jingxi City was at least in the orifice transforming period, they quickly flew towards the sky, the collapse of the city didn’t kill them.
But Ge Hengzi didn’t care what was happening, his eyes were now only on the Dao Stone, wanting to claim it for himself, anyone trying to stop him was an enemy!
Ge Hengzi’s strength wasn’t weak, even other border-level elders couldn’t take him down alone, soon a few more Inquiry Dao period elders rushed in, preparing to join forces to subdue Ge Hengzi. But it wasn’t just Ge Hengzi affected by the Dao Stone, suddenly two relatively weaker Inquiry Dao realm experts also started roaring, without a word they lashed out at their companions!
These two weakest elders were easily influenced, and other elders could not avoid it, they were immediately severely injured, the scene became even more chaotic!
"Stop! All of you stop!"
Wu Yumen could no longer remain calm!
He initially planned to let his subordinates control the scene, guard behind the scenes himself, waiting for the mastermind behind this chaos to show up, and then eliminate them all at once.
But now the situation was completely out of control, his subordinates somehow started fighting each other, if this continued, the mastermind behind this chaos might not even reveal themselves before they self-destruct first!
Terrifying ascension realm aura rolled in, about to suppress the entire city!
But just as Wu Yumen was about to take action—
Buzz!
The sky turned dark!
Everything returned to silence, like being thrown into an abyss, where all senses are blocked by darkness!
"Not good! It’s indeed a trap!"
Even Wu Yumen was momentarily affected by this darkness, unable to distinguish direction, unsure where to strike.
However, Wu Qiuhong reacted extremely fast. Even during the chaos, her attention never wavered from Chu Xi. As soon as it got dark, she immediately dashed out, appearing beside Chu Xi in an instant!
The speed of the ascension realm is extremely fast, especially since Wu Qiuhong was already prepared. Even though her perception was blocked by Candle Dragon Eye, she instantly appeared beside Chu Xi, ready to snatch him away.
"Take this righteous iron fist of mine!"
In the darkness, Li Qianluo also rushed over, throwing a punch at Wu Qiuhong!
Bam!
Li Qianluo’s punch landed on Wu Qiuhong’s forehead. Her strength was immense, and she had calculated the position of Wu Qiuhong’s appearance perfectly before striking!
Wu Qiuhong was furious after being inexplicably punched on the forehead. However, as a master of the ascension realm, her defensive power was very strong, and the punch only made her head ache slightly, not enough to knock her out.
"You’re courting death!"
The spiritual power on Wu Qiuhong suddenly erupted!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Even though she couldn’t see clearly in the darkness, she could still manipulate her breath soil towards the direction of Li Qianluo’s attack.
But Li Qianluo had already retreated. After delivering the punch, she immediately ran away, not intending to follow up with another blow, fleeing quickly.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiang Beifei’s hand trembled slightly as Wufeng, the broken sword, was drawn out, slashing towards Wu Qiuhong!
Even with the Candle Dragon Eye activated, Xiang Beifei couldn’t perceive the opponent’s position. However, from the beginning, everything was within his plan. He had calculated that either Wu Qiuhong or Wu Yumen would definitely come to grab Chu Xi, so he coordinated perfectly with Li Qianluo.
Li Qianluo threw a punch and fled to the left, naturally drawing Wu Qiuhong’s attention in that direction, while Xiang Beifei’s Wufeng slashed in from the right, hitting the hand holding Chu Xi!
Wufeng was covered with golden formation patterns like bricks, mixed with powerful force, slashing at Wu Qiuhong’s defense, while the golden patterns swiftly flowed along the sword light towards Wu Qiuhong’s defense.
Wu Qiuhong immediately sensed danger, feeling a great threat from the golden formation patterns!
"You’re courting death!"
Wu Qiuhong let out a low growl, her aura suddenly bursting, breaking free from the golden patterns.
However, as soon as she broke free, Chu Xi was released. Xiaohei, who had been crouching on Chu Xi, immediately grabbed Chu Xi as soon as he slipped from Wu Qiuhong’s grasp, rushing in another direction!
"Damn it!"
Wu Qiuhong had not anticipated that the opponent would use such a bizarre method against her, nor did she expect that they would manage to rescue Chu Xi from her hands. This was an immense humiliation for her!
Bear in mind, from Li Qianluo’s righteous iron fist to Xiang Beifei’s Wufeng sword light, the combined might could only pass as an attack of the Inquiry Dao Realm, yet ironically, she, a dignified master in the ascension realm, failed against people at the Inquiry Dao Realm. If this got out, where would her face as the elder of the domain go?
But Xiang Beifei came prepared, having calculated each step clearly. They relied on the Candle Dragon Eye, not needing perception themselves, only relying on memory to complete the entire rescue operation.
Although Wu Qiuhong was very vigilant and caught Chu Xi instantly, the Candle Dragon Eye caught her off guard, causing her to lose her composure. By the time she came to her senses, she remained shrouded in darkness, utterly clueless about which direction to chase, almost making her spit blood!
"I won’t let you go!"
She roared, striking towards the side she felt Chu Xi was most likely to escape!
Bam!
Her attack hit against a mighty spiritual power!
Now she understood, the opponent’s ability to resist her attack meant the defense ahead was of the ascension realm!
"Sent an ascension realm master? Then I shall kill you!"
Without saying another word, Wu Qiuhong pounded furiously at the ascension realm opponent!
Little did she know, the target she was attacking was in fact Wu Yumen!
