Chapter 2231: Arrival at the Battlefield

Gu Zhiqi couldn’t care less; whoever could be saved would be, and whoever couldn’t, she’d leave them be.

After all, the current priority was to rescue Yan Qian.

After all, if Yan Qian died, this world might just meet its end.

With Chubby Chiu’s guidance, Gu Zhiqi and the others quickly arrived at a battlefield.

At the battlefield, Gu Zhiqi saw several people who appeared in her memories. She stared at a few for several seconds before shifting her gaze to the person fighting against Yan Qian and others.

That person was Feng Hongtu, and he hadn’t turned into a soul body yet.

Gu Zhiqi stared at Feng Hongtu for several seconds, her eyes gradually filled with an icy coldness and murderous intent as she looked at him.

As long as he died, everyone else would be safe.

All those future events wouldn’t need to happen.

With that thought, the icy intent in Gu Zhiqi’s eyes grew even stronger.

"Master, should we now..."

Because the three of them had invisibility talismans, neither Feng Hongtu’s people nor Yan Qian and the others noticed their presence.

Hua Yan wanted to make a move but wasn’t sure if she should, so she sought Gu Zhiqi’s instruction.

Gu Zhiqi heard and told Hua Yan and the other two, "You three hold them off; I’ll set up the array."

Hua Yan, Yun Yi, and Tang Yichen soared towards Feng Hongtu.

**

At this moment, Feng Hongtu had already reached the ninth-order peak.

On Yan Qian’s side, most were still eighth-order ancient martial artists. There were only two ninth-order martial artists—Yan Qian herself, who was at the ninth-order middle phase, and Yun Qian, also at the ninth-order middle phase. The rest were either at the eighth-order peak or in the middle to later stages.

Even though they had more people on their side, they were simply no match for Feng Hongtu.

Fearing Feng Hongtu would annihilate them in one swift strike, the group split into two teams to confront him.

Despite that, they were straining under the pressure and were starting to falter.

With Yan Qian’s group were Sikong Yan and Jin Yuan, while the other group consisted of Yun Qian, Ling Wanrong, and Meng Tu.

Currently, Yun Qian’s group hadn’t finished their breathing regulation, while Yan Qian’s group was close to collapsing.

Seeing Feng Hongtu preparing to launch an ultimate move, Sikong Yan’s expression grew even more grave. "I’m afraid we can’t hold on, Uncle Yan. You should leave first, head to Nine Stars City."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yuan also agreed, nodding, "Yes, you should go first."

It didn’t matter if they died, but Yan Qian couldn’t die.

If Yan Qian died and this world fell into Feng Hongtu’s hands, who knows how many would suffer.

Yan Qian, hearing the two’s conversation, shook her head, "I can’t leave."

Sikong Yan and Jin Yuan heard this and gritted their teeth. Sikong Yan said irritably, "At this point, why are you still being stubborn? Don’t forget that your life is tied to the safety of this world?"

Hearing this, Yan Qian’s expression softened a bit, but she still refused to relent. She couldn’t abandon her friends.

She promised Zhizhi to protect them and to wait to reunite with her one day, and she had to fulfill that promise.

"Yan Qian, what are you still hesitating for?" Jin Yuan got so angry he didn’t even address her as uncle.

"Truly touching, but it’s a pity," Feng Hongtu sneered after overhearing their conversation, "None of you are going to leave."

"So there’s no need to struggle over this. I’ll make sure you accompany each other as you depart this world."

"Hahaha..."

After saying that, Feng Hongtu laughed wildly and then unleashed an ultimate move at the three of them.
