290: Chapter 47: Helping No One 290: Chapter 47: Helping No One “Yu Wenzhong, beast!”
Xie Sheng’s expression was furious, but he had no time to utter his curses.
The iron cavalry surged like a tide, and in an instant, the long street trembled, and murderous intent boiled!
As they say, when a great disaster looms, everyone flies for themselves.
Now,
this Qiantian Palace Saint was ambushed, yet he was also dragging himself into it!
“Escape first!”
Tai Shang House master spoke in a deep voice.
Without a second word, Yu Wenzhong sprinted in the opposite direction.
He only passed his demon qi to Xie Sheng.
The reason was simple…
having dealt with the Xie family for many years, he knew too well the character of Prince Jiangning!
If he didn’t transfer this strand of demon qi,
how could he bind Xie Sheng to his own ship?
The urgent task was to join forces to slay the demoness and simultaneously flee from the pursuit of the iron cavalry!
Three figures soared together towards Ao Ying.
Elsewhere,
watching a fine drama unfold from the ruins, Xie Xuanyi grabbed Qing Li’s collar from behind.
The little one blinked.
Leave?
“Still missing two black boxes.”
Xie Xuanyi calmly said, “We should be able to get all of them in one go.”
The direction Ao Ying fled, although it led away from the main city,
but this demoness was one of the Dragon Descendants!
The Great Yue Kingdom and the Dragon Descendants held a deep-seated blood feud…
the fact that this demoness was chased by so many iron cavalry showed the depth of the hatred between the two races.
It wouldn’t be long before a second ‘Chiliarch’ showed up to pursue or perhaps even a stronger being.
However, Xie Xuanyi was not in a rush; in this hunt, he was the ‘hunter’ hidden until the last moment.
The iron cavalry surged like a tide, cleansing the ancient city, advancing layer by layer.
He, taking the young girl, proceeded leisurely, silently locking his divine thought onto Ao Ying and the three pursuers.
…
…
“What cultivation technique does this demoness practice, to be so fast?”
Fang Hang frowned, watching a streak of red bloodline in the distance.
The three of them exerted their full power.
Yet, they couldn’t catch up with the demoness for the moment!
“Shall we change direction?” Yu Wenzhong worried, glancing at the pursuers behind him.
“Or do you want to change direction alone?”
Xie Sheng sneered, “If you leave, perhaps these iron cavalry would be reduced by half!”
These iron cavalry were so crazed!
It was clearly because of the Dragon Descendants’ qi!
Obviously…
this demoness smeared Dragon qi, hoping that the three of them would attract the pursuers on her behalf, dispersing their firepower!
Xie Sheng was utterly unwilling to be this sacrificial lamb.
Yu Wenzhong could only give up.
“Wait, why has this demoness stopped?”
Suddenly.
The crimson bloodline ahead abruptly paused.
All three Saints felt a sudden dread in their hearts, feeling something ominous; despite their youth, they had experienced many storms over the years…
most importantly, the Poisoned Wine War of decades earlier had ravaged many major sect families, deeply ingraining the cunning and venomous image of the Demon Race in everyone’s hearts.
In such circumstances, an unprovoked halt could only lead to trouble!
“It’s the array patterns, a Formation!”
The master from Tai Shang House was the first to realize something was amiss.
He felt the flickering and stirring of Tao Rules in the void.
This collapsed ruin, seemingly decrepit, was full of hidden mechanisms, with countless Tao Rules pulsating…
This place had long been laid with a Formation!
This demoness intentionally fled here…
If they pursued, they would bring these iron cavalry into the array patterns with them!
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”
The whole world began to tremble; countless red characters emerged in the void, flowing.
“It’s ancient text!
Dragon Descendant’s ancient text!”
Yu Wenzhong, who practiced the cultivation techniques of Qiantian Palace’s dragon forebears, recognized the origin of these array patterns!
“What are you saying…
this array ground is a thousand years old?”
Xie Sheng paused for a moment.
“This great array is heavily murderous, Xie Sheng, quickly expand the Red Dragon Cave Heaven!”
Yu Wenzhong spoke gravely, “I will protect my body with the Panxuan Mirror; let’s protect Fang Hang together!”
Fang Hang swiftly retreated to stand between the two.
Just then, the ground that was evened out erupted with thousands of fiery Dragon scripts; these scripts formed a sky-high barrier at the edge of this millennium-old city, igniting instantly.
The subsequent hundreds of iron cavalry, seeing the red characters, did not retreat but sped up instead in a tragic manner, boldly crashing into the scorching Dragon script and then turned into a burst of burning ashes!
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The scene was tremendously shocking.
These iron cavalry, revived by the nation-protecting great array, possessed no wisdom, no divine soul, only the intention to charge and kill!
Their cultivation realm was not worth mentioning, probably only at the Qi Refining Master level…
completely unable to expand a Grotto Heaven to confront the extreme heat of the Dragon Array!
Even so,
not one retreated.
Thousands of iron cavalry, like a tide, crashed against the large array.
It looked tragic yet was actually grisly.
Due to their forward charge, dozens of iron cavalry burst through the fire array, raising their battle sabres and spears, rushing towards the three Saints.
The summoning of Red Dragon Cave Heaven and Panxuan Mirror caused the fiery Dragon script of this great array not to fall directly.
Xie Sheng, Yu Wenzhong, and Fang Hang, all three looked pale as they watched this scene unfold before them.
The iron cavalry that charged out of the fire array, their bodies pitch-black, still burning with flickering flames, reaching this point still filled with a strong will to die, used their long spears to thrust forward; alas, their physical bodies ultimately couldn’t withstand this heaven-defying power and burst apart after rushing a few meters, barely brushing against the light emitted by the Grotto Heaven, before shattering into millions of fragments.
“This battlefield, left by the Dragon Descendants a thousand years ago,”
Yu Wenzhong looked at this scene, his expression somber: “This ancient kingdom seems to have encountered a great battle…
The Dragon Descendants and iron cavalry fought fiercely, ultimately both sustaining heavy damage.”
