“Oh? Is that so?”
Hearing this, Su Chen’s brows furrowed slightly as he said indifferently, “You can have a try!”
“Humph! Seeking death!”
The leading golden-armored man coldly snorted. In the next moment, the scale between his brows began glowing. A beam of light as thick as a water bucket instantly illuminated the sky, like a shocking divine sword slashing down from the heavens.
This was their lifeline divine power, possessing extremely terrifying might. Even Quasi-Saint Realm experts would need to be cautious when facing such a divine power.
However, the instant the incandescent light rushed out, a massive blue hand descended from the sky, as if from the immortal world.
The moment the palm landed, it directly crushed the divine light. The giant hand’s power did not diminish. As it crushed the divine light, it swiftly slapped toward the Quasi-Saint Realm expert.
“Ah…”
A miserable cry rang out.
The Quasi-Saint Realm expert who had just attacked was sent flying with a slap. His body tumbled through the air for hundreds of miles before he could finally stop in a sorry state. He stood in the sky, looking vigilant, and shouted in a deep voice, “Which power are you from?”
As he finished speaking, his divine sense spread out like the tide, but he harvested nothing. This made his heart grow even heavier.
In this place, there was only Su Chen and the white-robed woman visibly present. However, it seemed an expert was hidden in the dark! Moreover, the other party’s strength was terrifying. At the very least, he did not have confidence in victory. Even his lifetime divine power would be effortlessly crushed by the other side. One could see just how frightening the other party’s strength was.
Could it be someone from the Great Mystery Sacred Sect? But hadn’t the Great Mystery Sacred Sect only just risen to a saint-level power? Logically, their foundations should be very shallow and have no extra Quasi-Saint Realm experts to protect Su Chen. If it wasn’t someone from the Great Mystery Sacred Sect… Then things seemed a little strange.
“Since Fellow Daoist is here, why not show yourself?”
The golden-armored man shouted again.
Very quickly, an aged voice sounded from the void, “I have long since appeared, you were simply too weak to sense me.”
The instant the voice fell, an old man in grey robes slowly emerged by Su Chen’s side. As soon as he appeared, he greeted Su Chen, “Young Friend Su Chen, we meet again.”
“Elder, feel free to directly appear next time. There’s no need to keep hiding in the void.”
Su Chen smiled and nodded.
After entering the God Demon Sect’s ruins, Su Chen helped many people. However, it was impossible for all of them to come to help him. There was even the possibility some would try snatching the Black Tortoise’s blood essence from Ye Ruxue. But there were also some who would stand up for justice.
The instant these Quasi-Saint Realm experts appeared, Su Chen had already sent out messages via his communication jade slip. He wanted to see just who would help him. If they chose to help, they could become close friends in the future. If they didn’t, then things would be a bit difficult. Though there was no reason for taking back the things he had gifted to them, he could snatch their storage rings.
Right now, the first to arrive had somewhat surprised Su Chen. Because it wasn’t someone he had helped, but rather that old man by Shang Zimo’s side! Even until now, Su Chen still did not know this old man’s true name, but that didn’t stop him from coming to help. Even today, Su Chen still felt a bit emotional. A single kind deed back then had actually gained so much in return. From the imperial city of the Dashang Empire to the God Demon Sect’s ruins, this old man had already helped him three times now.
“If there’s a chance to obtain a Saint Breaking Pill in the future, 1 should give him one,” Su Chen thought to himself.
One good turn deserved another.
“Fellow Daoist, do you want to become enemies with our Inky Sea Island?”
The leading Quasi-Saint Realm expert asked with an unfriendly look. He returned to the front of the group without attacking further.
Su Chen’s strength was not weak. This grey-robed elder’s strength was even more unfathomable. At least to him, it was unfathomable.
Although he couldn’t tell which sect the other was from, just based on that one move earlier, he could tell his strength was frightening.
On his side, including himself, there were only five Quasi-Saint Realm experts. If they truly fought, they would be unable to take down Su Chen and the others in a short time. When the battle’s aftershocks spread, it could even attract other power’s experts. By then, they couldn’t guarantee obtaining the Black Tortoise’s blood essence. This was what they least wanted to see happen.
“Becoming enemies with Young Friend Su Chen is equivalent to becoming enemies with my young mistress. Becoming enemies with my young mistress means becoming enemies with me!” the grey-robed elder said calmly.
“It seems Senior is determined to fight?”
The armored man’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Elder Wang. As he finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, sweeping out like a sea. His eyes turned completely dark and unfathomable. The scale between his brows flickered with white light once more.
He had been caught off guard by this grey-robed elder earlier. But if they truly fought, he was unafraid! After all, there were five Quasi-Saint Realm experts on their side. The advantage was clearly theirs! Moreover, he was still one of the top experts below the Saint Realm of the Inky Sea Island. As long as he could entangle this old man, the remaining four Quasi-Saint Realms could take down Su Chen. Once Su Chen fell, that white-robed woman would be nothing. By then, they had countless methods to make her extract the Black Tortoise’s blood essence from the vortex.
Thinking of this, the golden-armored man revealed a slight smile. He turned to the others and said, “I’ll deal with this old man. You four go take down that Great Mystery Holy Son, Su Chen! Remember, we must finish this quickly, in case the battle’s aftermath attracts other forces’ experts.”
At this moment, his aura soared into the sky, his long blue hair draping over his shoulders. Terrifying energy filled the heavens and earth, causing the surrounding mountains to quake.
Buzz…
A fiery red longsword appeared in his hand, like a blood-colored crescent moon as it slashed toward Elder Wang.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh
Streams of crimson sword lights flashed continuously. The endless red sword lights turned into a river, relentlessly surging.
In an instant, the ground cracked and mountains collapsed. The fissures in the earth spread wildly in all directions. The might of this move surpassed that of ordinary initial-stage Quasi-Saint Realm experts. Even Elder Wang couldn’t help frowning slightly upon seeing this strike. The other party’s strength seemed to exceed his expectations somewhat.
“Young Friend Su Chen, protect yourself. 1 will end this quick and come help you!” Elder Wang turned and said.
Just as his voice fell, his figure transformed into a ray of light, piercing the heavens to meet the endless blood-red sword lights.
His speed was extremely fast. However, right at this moment, a sudden change occurred..
