Chapter 2264: Chapter 2262: [Since Things Have Come to This...]

Princess Zi Xuan led more than twenty injured sisters from the Flying Flower Zen Temple, fleeing into the distance!

The Northern State Five Elders wanted to pursue and kill them, but they were blocked!

Ye Tianchen blocked the most powerful Northern State Fourth and Fifth Elders, while Qin Mu, Mo Qin, and Peng Yan blocked the Northern State First, Second, and Third Elders. As for the other female cultivators who came to support the Flying Flower Zen Temple, they surrounded the entire battlefield. They did not blindly join the fight because they knew their power was insufficient and their martial prowess was not strong enough to be a match for the Northern State Five Elders. Rushing in would only become a burden and a hindrance, so they chose to encircle the battlefield, preparing to provide support from the periphery!

Boom!

Neither Northern State Fourth Elder nor Northern State Fifth Elder expected Ye Tianchen to be so strong, especially since he wielded two Ancient Divine Swords. This immediately made these two ruthless old men realize they had underestimated Ye Tianchen. More importantly, they thought that perhaps killing Ye Tianchen would bring greater benefits than exterminating the entire Flying Flower Zen Temple. The research value of the two Ancient Divine Swords alone could prove invaluable and might serve them well for a lifetime!

Immediately, the two strongest old men among the Northern State Five Elders launched a fierce assault. They attacked Ye Tianchen with full force, constantly unleashing Sword Qi and slashing out blade flashes, forcing Ye Tianchen to continuously retreat!

Although Ye Tianchen held two Ancient Divine Swords and his own cultivation was not weak, with considerable combat power, he was still facing two Peak of Late Stage Martial Saint experts whose cultivation was a level higher than his. Their combat abilities were strong, their battle experience rich, and when they surrounded him, it made him feel as if he couldn’t catch his breath!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen was hit by a Sword Qi and was instantly sent flying, blood gushing from his mouth, his inner energy and blood continuously surging. He coldly gazed ahead as the Northern State Fourth and Fifth Elders approached step by step, each wielding swords and blades, calmly locking onto him with murderous intent!

"Killing you has become our top priority now!" Northern State Fourth Elder said with a sneer.

"Slaying you means the Taie Sword and Xuanyuan Sword will be ours. Then we’ll have time to hunt down those female disciples from the Flying Flower Zen Temple, won’t we?" Northern State Fifth Elder asked mockingly.

"I won’t let you pass, absolutely not!" Ye Tianchen stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the Northern State Fourth and Fifth Elders with stubborn and resolute eyes.

"You won’t let us pass? What will you use to stop us? Just these few words? Ridiculous!" Northern State Fourth Elder laughed disdainfully.

"Your strength is already quite formidable. To battle us, two Late Stage Martial Saint experts, to this extent is enough to die with honor!" Northern State Fifth Elder said indifferently.

Boom!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen’s entire body shimmered with golden light, powerful energy emanating from him, stunning Northern State Fourth and Fifth Elders. They couldn’t help but fix their gaze on Ye Tianchen. As his body’s power surged forth, a golden glow enveloped Ye Tianchen, and at that moment, he unleashed his full combat strength, with the power of his physical body augmenting him, for an even stronger defense capability!

"Hm..." Ye Tianchen’s lips oozed blood again, but he forcibly held on, frowning internally. He hadn’t expected the previous battle to leave him so severely injured, not fully recovered even now. He wondered if he could endure for an hour, blocking the Northern State Fourth and Fifth Elders!

Ye Tianchen knew that right now, Princess Zi Xuan and the more than twenty injured sisters should not have fled far. If the Northern State Fourth and Fifth Elders pursued them, they would be in grave danger and inevitably be caught, leading to certain ruin. However, if Ye Tianchen could hold off the Northern State Fourth and Fifth Elders for an hour, even if he couldn’t defeat these old men, he could escape himself, and wouldn’t need to worry. An hour would be sufficient for the remaining female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple to scatter and escape. No matter how formidable the Northern State Five Elders were, it would be challenging to find them!

Golden light continuously reinforced Ye Tianchen, surging his entire body with power, and in an instant, he launched an assault. That formidable aura forced Northern State Fourth and Fifth Elders to retreat two steps. Ye Tianchen’s sense of strength significantly amplified, making his combat power incomparable to earlier!

"Such powerful strength, seems like physical body power!" Northern State Fourth Elder couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Didn’t expect this young man to possess such strong physical power. Seems we’ve indeed underestimated him!" Northern State Fifth Elder frowned and said.

"Let’s finish this quickly. Although we don’t fear such a young martial artist, some things are better settled sooner!" Northern State Fourth Elder said with a slight smile.

"Yes, the Flying Flower Zen Temple must be destroyed, this child must die, otherwise, he will surely be a major threat to us in the future!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State nodded heavily and said.

Swish!

Swoosh!

A streak of Sword Qi and a blade light directly slashed towards Ye Tianchen, but Ye Tianchen fought back, holding two Divine Swords, merely swinging them to block the Sword Qi. Even without unleashing his own Sword Qi, just the act of swinging the two Divine Swords shattered the Sword Qi of the Four Elders of the Northern State and the blade light of the Fifth Elder, astonishing them all!

"No need for more words, kill him with full force!" The Four Elders realized the danger, frowned, and said.

"This child must die, otherwise, we will have no peace in the future!" The Fifth Elder also tightly gripped the large saber in his hand and said.

Boom!

Ye Tianchen, while the Four Elders and the Fifth Elder of the Northern State were speaking, immediately darted forward to attack, wielding the Divine Swords in his hands, slashing towards these two vicious old fellows. At this moment, there is only one battle, no retreat, fighting to the end, fighting until death!

On the other side, Qin Mu, Mo Qin, and Peng Yan were battling the First, Second, and Third Elders of the Northern State, respectively. Their cultivation realms were also at Mid-stage Martial Saint, not weaker than these three old fellows. However, these five elders of the Northern State are seasoned martial artists, truly strong in combat power, and rich in battle experience. To kill these three old fellows is indeed not easy!

Fortunately, Qin Mu and the three female cultivators were also exceptionally talented martial artists, combined with their cultivation realms at Mid-stage Martial Saint. No matter what, it was impossible for these three Northern State elders to immediately defeat them, only watching helplessly as Princess Zi Xuan led more than twenty injured female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple to escape!

Princess Zi Xuan, after leading more than twenty injured sisters out of the battle, couldn’t help but glancing at Ye Tianchen fighting within the battle circle. She had a trace of worry in her heart, after all, Ye Tianchen was alone facing the Four Elders and the Fifth Elder of the Northern State, really not easy, always in danger of being annihilated. It was because of such danger that Princess Zi Xuan worried, feeling that Ye Tianchen did far too much for her, for the Flying Flower Zen Temple!

An hour later, Princess Zi Xuan stopped her steps, behind her were more than twenty sisters. Looking at them, Princess Zi Xuan said, "Dear sisters, our Flying Flower Zen Temple facing this great disaster has sacrificed too many people. I know everyone feels pain inside, unwilling, but I hope you understand, escaping this time was not easy. So, we must live strongly, and never forget that we are disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple. Someday if possible, we must rebuild Flying Flower Zen Temple to let it flourish again in the Martial Arts World!"

"Sect Leader, we are not afraid of death!"

"Yes, we refuse to leave, rather perish together!"

"We can live and die with the Flying Flower Zen Temple, it’s our home!"

"Even if we face obliteration, soul dispersed, we fear not!"

A few female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple started to become emotionally agitated, Princess Zi Xuan glanced at them, shook her head, and said, "Master, Ye Tianchen, the departed sisters like Qin Mu, they all returned fearlessly facing dangers, why? To win us a chance of survival, an opportunity to escape. Only in this way, our Flying Flower Zen Temple would not face the calamity of annihilation, leaving hope for the future, scatter now!"

"Sect Leader!"

"We..."

Princess Zi Xuan frowned, the Jade Bracelet in her right hand began to shimmer, she loudly said, "Listen, disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, as long as we are alive, we must remember the mission of rebuilding the temple’s legacy, everyone must live with this goal, not act impulsively, nor abandon your life casually, because living is not easy for us. Since we survive, we must bear the responsibility for those departed sisters and rebuild the Flying Flower Zen Temple!"

Upon hearing Princess Zi Xuan’s words, these more than twenty female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple also frowned and felt it made sense. Looking at them, Princess Zi Xuan was reluctant, feeling the legacy of the Flying Flower Zen Temple was preserved yet in jeopardy...
