Chapter 375 - 357: The Status of Old Friends

Chapter 375: Chapter 357: The Status of Old Friends

The Chen Family Siblings weren’t the only ones in trouble. More than fifteen hundred miles away, Golden Crow City was also under siege.

Zhang Chi wasn’t too concerned about Golden Crow City.

But several of his old friends were there.

He could clearly sense that Lan Xuan and Qin Susu were both there.

His two Spirit Beasts were there as well.

However, just as that Junior Sister Wen had said, Qin Susu’s Spirit Beast was indeed gravely injured.

’How dare you harm my Spirit Beast. Whether you are a Demon or a Cultivator, you will pay a hundredfold!’

Zhang Chi thought coldly.

Evidently, he had "heard" the conversation between Junior Sister Wen and the others, even from such a great distance.

—

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

At that moment, the Floating Airship’s Restrictions were fully active. A large group of Cultivators stood on the stern deck, wielding all kinds of Magical Treasures and Magical Artifacts or casting various types of Magic, locked in a fierce battle with the Demons.

The leaders among the Cultivators were seven Golden Core Cultivators, and among them, Chen Bufan and Chen Ling’Er had the highest Cultivation and the greatest Combat Power.

Chen Bufan was surprisingly close to the Golden Core Peak, while Chen Ling’Er was not far from the Golden Core Late Stage.

The two of them wielded their Flying Swords. The former’s Sword Qi was piercing, with specks of starlight glittering within it.

The latter’s Swordsmanship was like wind and thunder. Though not as powerful as her brother’s, she rarely met her match among those of the Same Tier and could even fight a Tier Three Late Stage Demon to a standstill.

As a direct result, despite the numerous pursuers, everyone on the Floating Airship had faced peril but no true harm.

’These two aren’t bad. Their Cultivation is quite high, and they’ve even trained their Sword Control Technique to a decent Realm. I was planning on making a dramatic rescue, but it looks like that won’t be necessary now. A pity, what a pity!’

Seeing this situation, Zhang Chi couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

In fact, a smile appeared on his face. He wasn’t really disappointed; on the contrary, he was very happy for the two of them.

After all, if their strength had truly been insufficient, they would have fallen long ago and never survived until his return.

Besides, if they were constantly in danger, even someone as powerful as him couldn’t possibly be so lucky as to show up just in time for every crisis.

His true purpose in leaving behind the complete Star Sword Manual and his Swordsmanship Insights back then was precisely so they would have enough Combat Power to protect themselves and those around them.

"Chen Bufan, Chen Ling’Er, be wise and yield to the circumstances. Even if you manage to escape this time, your Great Abyss Human Race can’t hold out for more than a few days. So, surrender! If you do, not only will you continue to live, but you might even achieve the Nascent Soul Realm in your lifetime!"

"Exactly! What’s the point of fighting to the death? You’ll be annihilated in the end anyway, won’t you? Besides, the Great Abyss Human Race can’t possibly provide you with enough resources, let alone help you achieve a breakthrough. So, is there any need to throw your lives away for them?"

At this time, the True Demon Sect Cultivators didn’t dare get too close, fearing they would be injured by the Chen Family Siblings’ Sword Light.

Instead, they sent the Demons and Demonized Beasts to wear down their opponents’ strength from the front while they followed from a distance, looking for an opportunity to strike and shouting taunts all the while.

This way, even if they couldn’t truly persuade the enemy to surrender, they could still disrupt them and break their fighting spirit.

And just as they intended, their words left the Cultivators on the Floating Airship feeling both furious and helpless. Their morale was clearly flagging.

The reason was simple: the Human Race had been in constant retreat for years, and there was truly no hope in sight.

The reason there were so many mortals aboard the Floating Airship was because the Great Abyss Human Race had recently lost even more territory, forcing them to pull back their defensive lines once again.

"Cease your vile rhetoric! While it’s true that the Great Abyss has little chance of victory under normal circumstances, the Demon Tide will recede sooner or later. Otherwise, the Great Abyss Human Race would have been wiped out long ago."

"That’s right! And we still have Senior Brother Zhang. He will come back sooner or later, and when he does, he will definitely slaughter all of you traitors to the Human Race!"

But the Chen Family Siblings remained resolute. Even as they continued to fight, they immediately retorted coldly.

"Heh, Zhang Chi again? He’s nothing but a gutless rat who fled in the face of battle."

"Exactly. Even if he did come back, he’d be at the Nascent Soul Early Stage at best. He’d be no match for us. Besides, he can’t come back, and he absolutely wouldn’t dare to!"

"How many years has it been, and you’re still talking about him? Can’t you come up with something new? Even if you’re not tired of saying it, we’re tired of hearing it!"

"Hahaha, that’s right! In the entire Human Race, who besides you few even remembers that guy? He’s probably been dead for years!"

Hearing this, the True Demon Sect Cultivators all sneered disdainfully.

"You..."

The faces of the Chen Family Siblings and the other Cultivators turned grim, yet they were powerless to refute the claims.

"Who said I’m dead? Who said I’m a gutless rat? Have you forgotten the fate of the last person who said that?"

But just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

At the same time, the surrounding temperature suddenly soared, and a crimson flame abruptly appeared between the Floating Airship and the Demons and Demon Beasts.

In the blink of an eye, the flame expanded, transforming into a sea of fire.

Then, a tall, imposing young Cultivator in black robes emerged from the sea of fire.

And this Cultivator was none other than Zhang Chi.

He hadn’t been in a hurry to make a move, but since they dared to speak ill of him, he naturally couldn’t tolerate it.

"You... Who are you?"

The True Demon Sect Cultivators were all greatly alarmed at the sight.

They hadn’t sensed anything unusual at all before his appearance. Furthermore, they couldn’t see through his Cultivation, yet they instinctively sensed that the sea of fire at his feet was exceptionally dangerous.

Even the Demons and Demon Beasts felt an instinctive fear and halted their attack.
