Chapter 1379: Chapter 1379: Come Out, Little Golden Coffin! (4th Update)
The wisp of black smoke drifting from the “white hole” finally transformed into the phantom of a Western-looking man.
This phantom wore a black outfit, appearing tattered and worn. And behind him, a pair of black wings folded on his back.
“A two-winged angel?” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.
Angels were not something new to him. The last time in the White Court Origin Realm, the one summoned by the Holy See had four wings.
And it was this four-winged angel’s divine descent that fundamentally overturned the initially intense war. Its strength was unimaginable.
The two-winged angel before him was different from the previous angel’s white wings, but black ones, presumably the fallen angel spoken of by Westerners. The Dark Church’s reverence for fallen angels was understandable.
What suddenly tightened Ye Haochuan’s heart was this being’s strength. Although it only had two wings and wasn’t as formidable as before, for Ye Haochuan now, it was undoubtedly as towering as Mount Tai.
This was the Chief God, even if the lowest rank, was not something a “mortal” like Ye Haochuan could contend with.
“You? A creature as lowly as dust dares to disturb this god’s offering?”
The fallen angel’s phantom glanced at Ye Haochuan, eyes full of disdain, as if in his view, Ye Haochuan was no different from an ant on the ground.
“So what if I’m humble? You dare harm someone dear to me, I’ll still fight you to the death!” Ye Haochuan snorted coldly.
“Lowly is lowly, even if you don’t want to admit it, it doesn’t change the fact of your inferiority. With such pitiful skills, you dare mention fighting me to the death?”
The fallen angel’s phantom sneered disdainfully, its black wings suddenly flapped, and a foul-smelling whirlwind appeared. The surrounding light seemed to be drawn in by this whirlwind, causing the world to darken.
“Xuanwu Force Vein, activate!”
“Sword Destroying Star!”
Ye Haochuan dared not underestimate the might of a Chief God, and with the fastest speed, he unleashed his strongest attack.
Unfortunately, the golden giant sword had not yet touched the whirlwind before being torn into pieces by the black wind.
“An ant trying to shake a tree!” The fallen angel’s phantom was full of disdain, then waved its hand, and the whirlwind headed towards Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan was suddenly terrified in his heart; with the power of this whirlwind, if it really hit him, he’d be shredded to dust.
“Heaven-Penetrating Barrier!”
“Great Yan Step!”
With another set of skills activated, even considering the Heaven-Penetrating Barrier’s remarkable defensive power, Ye Haochuan dared not use it to take a Chief God’s strike. So he blocked with the barrier while moving swiftly with the Great Yan Step.
The whirlwind was immensely powerful, but its speed didn’t seem too fast. Ye Haochuan used the Communicating with God Treasure Order to increase his speed to the maximum and really dodged the blow.
However, it wasn’t a complete dodge; the edge of the Heaven-Penetrating Barrier lightly brushed against the whirlwind. But just from this slight touch, Ye Haochuan found that both his and the treasure order’s spiritual energy were completely consumed.
Ye Haochuan’s heart sank suddenly, merely grazing it had such power. If it had truly collided, he feared he’d already be in fragments.
“All or nothing!”
At this point, Ye Haochuan had no other thoughts in his mind. He only aimed to defeat this phantom by any means necessary. Only by doing so could he successfully rescue Lin Qingxuan.
“Eighth Level Palm!”
Exhausting the last of his spiritual energy, Ye Haochuan struck towards the phantom with his hand.
“Ignorant!”
The fallen angel’s phantom snorted coldly, and the next moment, a violent repulsion force flung Ye Haochuan away.
Pfft~
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out wildly, and Ye Haochuan’s breath instantly withered, collapsing to the ground like mud.
At this moment, he was just hanging on by a thread. Even trying to move a finger was a pipe dream.
“Looks like you care about this woman a lot, huh? You actually dare to oppose this god for her!”
The fallen angel’s phantom chuckled coldly and said, “Since you care about her so much, I’ll let you see how I slowly devour her vital life force bit by bit!”
At this moment, he seemed like a devil from Hell. That chilling smile sent shivers down one’s spine.
“No!” Ye Haochuan shouted with strength he didn’t know he had.
The fallen angel’s phantom paid him no mind and continued to walk over without stopping.
“What to do? Is there nothing I can do but watch her get killed by this phantom?”
Watching the fallen angel’s phantom approaching Lin Qingxuan step by step, Ye Haochuan was both furious and anxious, wishing he could tear the phantom to pieces, but he didn’t have that strength.
Let alone killing it, Ye Haochuan couldn’t even get within a meter of it.
“That’s it, the small golden coffin!”
Ye Haochuan’s eyes brightened suddenly. Although the small golden coffin’s grade wasn’t apparent, its defensive power was astounding. As long as the coffin absorbed Lin Qingxuan, it might withstand the fallen angel’s phantom.
With this thought, Ye Haochuan hesitated not for a moment, softly speaking to the small golden coffin on his neck, “Take Qingxuan inside, and I’ll give you a drop of essential blood!”
The small golden coffin seemed to understand, trembling all over, suddenly parting a slit on the coffin lid. Then, a gust of light wind swept over, quickly drawing Lin Qingxuan’s body inside.
“Who dares cause trouble in the presence of this god!”
The fallen angel’s phantom thought someone else had arrived, lightly shouting while reaching to grab Lin Qingxuan.
But just as his hand was about to touch Lin Qingxuan’s body, her speed increased once more, instantly vanishing into the golden coffin.
“What kind of treasure is this little coffin, that it can sever the connection between this god and the offering?” The fallen angel’s phantom was slightly stunned, and the next moment, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.
“Originally came for the rare offering, but unexpectedly, there’s an additional joy!”
The fallen angel’s phantom chuckled coldly and reached a large hand towards the small golden coffin.
Ye Haochuan was now utterly powerless, unable to protect the small golden coffin. He wished he could shoot fire from his eyes with hatred but still couldn’t stop the fallen angel’s phantom from seizing the small golden coffin.
“This is such a good thing!” The fallen angel’s phantom laughed happily, gently stroking the coffin’s lid with his hand.
Then, he pried at the lid with his fingers, but there was no response.
The fallen angel’s phantom pursed his lips, his palm exuding a trace of black spiritual energy, enveloping the golden coffin, seemingly trying to refine it.
However, in the next moment, the golden coffin suddenly seemed as if its butt had been burned, turning into a wisp of phantom, quickly escaping from the fallen angel phantom’s hand.
The fallen angel’s phantom frowned, trying to catch it, but couldn’t grasp it even with his cultivation.
The fallen angel’s phantom turned his head to look at Ye Haochuan, coldly snorted, “Is it you messing around with this thing? Fine, I’ll just kill you and see if the coffin can still escape.”
He evidently regarded Ye Haochuan as the coffin’s master, thinking that once Ye Haochuan was killed, the coffin would become masterless, allowing him to refine it at will.
Ye Haochuan felt utterly wronged; what did the little coffin’s escape have to do with him?
