Chapter 2273: Chapter 2271: [Blasting Apart Half the Body]

[Second update of the day delivered. Where’s the reward?]

As the Four Elders of the Northern State and the Fifth Elder pursued more fiercely, they became more resolved in their decision: they absolutely could not allow Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan to leave alive. These two young people with such demon-like talents truly terrified them, especially Ye Tianchen. If they let him escape this time, he might become a serious future threat; perhaps, in the blink of an eye, it would be them getting hunted—an absolutely possible scenario!

Although Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan were shrouded under the Holy Heaven Prison, with some Chaos Qi descending from within, Ye Tianchen was already injured, and Chaos Qi itself was very difficult to control. Therefore, these Chaos Qi couldn’t sufficiently envelop Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan, allowing the Fifth Elder of the Northern State to seize the opportunity and use the Saint Treasure to penetrate the gaps in these Chaos Qi, launching an attack!

In reality, Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan appeared to be protected by Chaos Qi, but truthfully, they were like being inside a barrel. Although this barrel was quite sturdy and external forces could hardly harm them, there were still a few gaps outside the barrel. If someone tossed a bomb inside, it would explode within the barrel. It’s imaginable that for Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan, the barrel they relied on for protection would suddenly become a cage they couldn’t escape from, just like capturing a turtle in a jar, getting bombarded by these forces!

Swoosh!

The Fifth Elder of the Northern State launched an arrow infused with his Lifeblood toward the Holy Heaven Prison. As this arrow shot out, everything in its path was annihilated. Even more terrifying was the fact that the void shattered wherever the arrow light passed, and though there were still several kilometers of altitude below, the mountain range beneath all shattered instantly, demonstrating the terror of this arrow!

A Saint Treasure itself is already extremely powerful, let alone when the user is an old fellow with a Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm. Each one is more ruthless than the other!

Boom!

Before this arrow reached the Holy Heaven Prison, before it struck, Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows. He sensed the immense power of this arrow, which was incredibly shocking, causing even him to feel uncertain about his ability to block it.

"Such tremendous power, that old fellow the Fifth Elder of the Northern State must be going all out!" Princess Zi Xuan said anxiously.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Princess Zi Xuan, smiled, and said, "It’s not enough to harm us. Don’t worry, just watch from behind."

"You... really?" Princess Zi Xuan asked, somewhat surprised and doubtful.

"When did you lose faith in my strength like this?" Ye Tianchen smilingly retorted.

"I..." Princess Zi Xuan paused, not knowing what to say!

"Relax, I can handle this. Just don’t expect me to take care of you!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Princess Zi Xuan thought for a moment. She didn’t know if Ye Tianchen was speaking honestly or not. Her cultivation realm was not low either, possessing outstanding talent, far from being someone foolish. She felt uncertain believing Ye Tianchen’s claim to handle it alone because he was seriously injured, dispersing most of his focus to control the Holy Heaven Prison. Just now, the surprise attack by the Fifth Elder of the Northern State with an arrow had pierced Ye Tianchen’s left shoulder, severely injuring him. If not for his strong cultivation and peerless physical body power, the strength of the Saint Treasure alone could have ended Ye Tianchen, causing him to explode into a mist of blood!

But now, although the arrow from the Fifth Elder of the Northern State hadn’t reached them yet or pierced through the Chaos Qi, its overwhelming power was something they already felt stronger than that last arrow. In this situation, could Ye Tianchen really block it alone?

After pondering, Princess Zi Xuan hesitated to speak, ultimately retreating behind Ye Tianchen. She knew, regardless of whether Ye Tianchen’s words were true, in this situation, she couldn’t help out. Her strength was relatively weaker. Not distracting Ye Tianchen with concerns about her was the biggest help to him!

Ye Tianchen watched as Princess Zi Xuan moved behind him, feeling more at ease with the shield formed from runes and Chaos Qi. Such a setup should be sufficient to block the attack from a Saint Treasure. Even if this blow was excessively strong, with him standing in front of Princess Zi Xuan, she could be protected. As for his own safety, Ye Tianchen didn’t think too much about it!

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen sat in the lotus position beneath the Holy Heaven Prison. Opening his eyes, he watched the front, seeing a beam rush towards him like a comet sweeping across, destroying everything in its path, shattering the void, as if a black ravine appeared in the sky—a sight so terrifying!

Crash!

Chaos Qi continuously emanated from behind Ye Tianchen, forming some protection in front of him. But, a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his internal qi and blood surging, especially the arrow in his left shoulder still damaging his body. He felt the possibility of blocking this arrow was small, but his will remained resolute; he wouldn’t just give up!

Ye Tianchen maneuvered the Chaos Qi, using his remaining strength to control it. Although he gathered some Chaos Qi to form a shield-like shape in front of him, it was much more dispersed than Princess Zi Xuan’s shield, thus increasing the risk of further injury to Ye Tianchen!

"Hmph, with this arrow, these two ants will definitely be obliterated, they’re doomed for sure!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State confidently snorted.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Yet, just as the Fifth Elder of the Northern State watched the arrow he shot soar toward the edge of the Holy Heaven Prison, ready to destroy, two beams of light burst forth from inside, instantly colliding with his arrow energy.

"Huh? This demon still has the power to fight?" The Fourth Elder of the Northern State asked in surprise.

"No matter what kind of strength it is, it can’t stop my arrow energy!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State confidently stated.

Clang!

Clang!

Two mighty sword qis immediately clashed with the Fifth Elder of the Northern State’s arrow energy, emitting a crisp sound like two pieces of iron colliding, stunning the Fifth Elder into disbelief!

"It seems to be the Ancient Divine Sword, two Ancient Divine Swords have both been summoned, this child is fighting for his life!" The Fourth Elder of the Northern State frowned fiercely.

"It’s useless. Although the Ancient Divine Swords are unfathomable, unleashing their true power is impossible, otherwise we wouldn’t have forced them to this extent. This arrow contains the power of my lifeblood, enough to destroy heaven and earth. Even though it can’t shatter the Chaos Qi, as long as it penetrates the gap of the Chaos Qi, these two ants will surely be obliterated!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State sneered disdainfully.

Bang!

Sure enough, although Ye Tianchen summoned the Taie Sword and Xuanyuan Sword to block the Fifth Elder’s arrow energy, these swords were wielded, not held by Ye Tianchen himself. The power they could unleash was limited, so the arrow energy still pushed through!

Swoosh!

The arrow energy continued, incredibly powerful, charging towards Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan, accurately penetrating the gaps of the Chaos Qi!

Pop!

Just as the arrow energy entered the gaps of the Chaos Qi, Ye Tianchen didn’t sit idly by or allow the arrow energy to smite him. He wouldn’t merely rely on Chaos Qi or physical power, he also swiftly took action and grabbed the arrow with his left hand!

However, as Ye Tianchen seized the arrow, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his arm, his right hand nearly shattering, startling him, his brows furrowing deeply as he realized the formidable power of the Saint Treasure. Despite Chaos Qi being invincible and indestructible, the power of this Saint Treasure couldn’t break it but could definitely shake it, Ye Tianchen could feel it!

Bang!

A loud explosion, Ye Tianchen’s right side of his body burst open, blood instantly blurred everything, Princess Zi Xuan stood behind him, shielded by the Chaos Qi condensed shield. She felt Ye Tianchen’s danger and saw blood splattering from the front, immediately wanting to step forward to help him!

"Don’t come over, the arrow energy’s power is still strong, I haven’t completely destroyed it yet!" Ye Tianchen promptly stopped Princess Zi Xuan.

"But..." Princess Zi Xuan exclaimed anxiously.

"Don’t worry, I can still talk to you, naturally there is no life threat, I can handle it!" Ye Tianchen gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen’s right side of his body had exploded, flesh and blood blurred, and his left shoulder was still pierced by an arrow. The power of this arrow continued to ravage his body, making him extremely painful, feeling a heart-wrenching, soul-ripping agony. Yet he still clenched his teeth, the arrow energy that blew apart his right side body hadn’t vanished...
