Chapter 359 - 345: The Qin Siblings and the Heaven-defying Alliance

Chapter 359: Chapter 345: The Qin Siblings and the Heaven-defying Alliance

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators didn’t actually believe that Zhang Chi relied solely on his Magical Treasure. They even felt he was being too modest.

After all, although a Top Grade Magical Treasure was powerful, it still required a high level of Cultivation to activate.

If one’s foundation was weak, it would be impossible to reach Zhang Chi’s level, even by using explosive techniques.

SWISH!

But before the cultivators could say more, a vast golden light, radiating an incomparably sharp aura, shot toward them as fast as lightning.

At the same time, a powerful pressure descended, blanketing the entire area and severely suppressing any cultivator below the Nascent Soul realm.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Fortunately, Zhang Chi and the Silver Armored Youth struck at almost the same time. The Treasure Cauldron immediately spun violently, transforming into a black storm that blocked a large portion of the golden light.

Meanwhile, the Fangtian Halberd in the Silver Armored Youth’s hands transformed into a sky full of phantom blades, intercepting the remaining golden light.

Only then did the cultivators see clearly that the golden light was composed of numerous sharp Golden Arrows.

Clearly, this attack came not from Demon Beasts, but from human cultivators.

The next moment, they focused their gazes into the distance and, just as they expected, saw over a hundred human cultivators in the sky more than twenty li away.

A mortal wouldn’t have been able to see such a distance, but many of the cultivators present saw the figures clearly.

Their opponents were all dressed in identical black Cloaks, the hems of which were adorned with a blood-red skull pattern.

"It’s cultivators from the Heaven-defying Alliance!"

The cultivators instantly recognized the newcomers’ affiliation and cried out in alarm.

Their expressions turned even uglier when they sensed the powerful auras emanating from these cultivators.

"No wonder so many Tier Four Demon Beasts attacked today! So it was you scumbags from the Heaven-defying Alliance behind it all. Too bad for you, you ran into me, Qin Yushan! Now... all of you can just die!"

The four Nascent Soul Cultivators had been the first to spot the enemy and size up their Cultivation levels.

Then, the young cultivator’s eyes went red. With a cold cry, he charged toward the enemy, dragging his Fangtian Halberd as he sprinted through the air.

"Brother, I’ll help you!"

The Divine Palace Female Envoy did the same, charging forward without a moment’s hesitation.

BANG! BANG! BANG...

In the next instant, the young cultivator who called himself Qin Yushan had already closed the distance by more than ten li.

But the Heaven-defying Alliance cultivators showed no intention of fighting back. They immediately transformed into streaks of Escape Light and fled.

Qin Yushan appeared like a phantom before one of the Cloaked Cultivators and cut him down with a single swing of his Fangtian Halberd.

This cultivator’s Cultivation was not weak—he had already reached the Golden Core Peak—but before Qin Yushan, he was utterly defenseless.

After that, Qin Yushan quickly caught up to a second, then a third cultivator... He attacked relentlessly, and in the blink of an eye, he had slain more than twenty of them.

Although the remaining cultivators had fled far, Qin Yushan simply raised a hand and pointed. His Fangtian Halberd immediately shot out, transforming into a sky full of phantom blades to hunt them down from a distance.

The Divine Palace Female Envoy did likewise.

However, she activated a Golden Lotus.

The moment the treasure appeared, it swelled to the size of a tabletop. Cultivators within its range immediately slowed down, and one by one, they were caught by the lotus and blasted to death.

However, their opponents weren’t just Golden Core Cultivators. The four in the lead were Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and although they were only at the Early Stage, their speed was clearly much greater.

Qin Yushan managed to kill two of the four, but in the blink of an eye, the other two had split up and fled several hundred li.

Qin Yushan and the Divine Palace Female Envoy, seemingly in a blood frenzy, immediately split up and pursued them without hesitation.

"What should we do? Should we go and help?"

The Canglan City Lord couldn’t help but frown, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

For one, everything was going too smoothly; it was as if their opponents had come seeking death, completely unaware of their pursuers’ strength.

For another, the two Divine Palace Envoys were acting far too fanatically, as if they shared a blood feud with their enemies.

"Senior Brother, take these cultivators and retreat into the Grand Array. I’ll go take a look."

Zhang Chi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided he couldn’t just stand by and watch.

In truth, he had detected other cultivators lying in ambush from a long way off, which was why he had warned everyone not to press a cornered foe.

But he had still underestimated the sheer animosity the two Divine Palace Envoys held for those cultivators.

He also had a feeling that something was amiss with those cultivators.

He had wanted to ignore it, but if something were to actually happen to the two Divine Palace Envoys, he and the Canglan City Lord would likely be implicated.

That was why he had made this decision.

Fortunately, his Divine Thought was powerful enough that he could observe from a thousand li away first.

"Alright. But you must be careful, Junior Brother!"

The Canglan City Lord nodded. He knew Zhang Chi’s Combat Power was greater than his own, so it was most fitting for Zhang Chi to be the one to go.

It was best for him to stay behind and stand guard.

Otherwise, even if he went, he probably wouldn’t be of any help.

SWISH!

Zhang Chi gave a slight nod, then immediately transformed into a streak of Fire and shot off in the direction the Divine Palace Female Envoy had gone.

It wasn’t that he had a soft spot for a pretty face, but rather that the female envoy’s Cultivation was relatively low, giving her a greater chance of running into life-threatening danger.

The Heaven-defying Alliance only needed to dispatch a single Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, or a few at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, to surround and kill her.

But Qin Yushan had a higher Cultivation and was one of the Divine Palace Master’s own disciples; he certainly wouldn’t die so easily.

Besides, the female envoy and Qin Yushan were actually brother and sister. If he really saved her, Qin Yushan would surely be grateful.

Conversely, if she died, Qin Yushan would very likely take his anger out on the entire Canglan Sect.

Of course, there was also the most important point.

’The two of them are likely to face opponents of different strengths. Qin Yushan’s foe is very likely at Nascent Soul Peak. If I go after him, not only will I be unable to help, but I might even get myself killed.’
