Everyone raised their heads to look at the sky, at the destructive energy produced by the explosion of the Heavenly Blade.
Even the calm Gao Wei was no longer calm. Zi Chen's way of attacking was completely out of his expectations. Moreover, such a powerful and terrifying attack could very well kill one of them.
Once one of them died, it would be troublesome for them to fight Zi Chen in the future.
Yan Wei didn't want anyone to die, but Zi Chen, who raised his head, hoped that one or two of them would die. That way, he might be able to kill Yan Wei.
"Bang." "Bang." "Bang."
Under the gazes of several people, three beams of light shot out from the destructive energy. The three of them were in a sorry state. The moment they appeared, they coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. At the same time, their bodies were covered with wounds, making them look sinister and terrifying.
Looking at the three coughing up blood, Zi Chen's face was immediately filled with disappointment. No matter how serious their injuries were, they were still alive. As long as they were alive, they had the ability to fight. They were still troublesome.
After the three of them rushed out, they continuously retreated. Their faces were filled with fear.
Zi Chen's method of neutralizing the attack by cutting off one of his arms was completely out of their expectations. If it weren't for Yan Wei's fingerprints, which had consumed more than half of the storm's energy, the three of them wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.
Compared to the disappointed Zi Chen, Yan Wei's slightly nervous expression relaxed again. He nodded in satisfaction. As long as the three of them were still alive, killing Zi Chen would be very easy.
Zi Chen had already revealed all his trump cards. His strongest defense was gone, and the powerful Heavenly Blade had exploded. Now, the only thing he could rely on were the two Heavenly Dao techniques that couldn't be used at the same time, the bow that could only shoot out one threatening arrow, and that little Heavenly Blade.
Hei Long and An Peng sighed in their hearts. Zi Chen's Cutting Off Arm attack hadn't killed anyone. Now, Zi Chen was in danger.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the cyan storm below completely exploded. Qing Feng stood where he was, his expression cold. Cyan wind circled around him, while Wu Xing was sent flying backwards. His defense had already been broken. A cyan wind circled around him, continuously cutting at his body.
After retreating for a few hundred meters, he finally stopped. The strong wind around him also disappeared. His body looked like it was riddled with wounds, but they were all superficial wounds. As the Five Elements energy circulated, his wounds were completely healed.
Since Gao Yang was selecting a spot, he would naturally select the strongest. The battle strength of the five elements was much stronger than Gar, who had challenged Green Peak back then.
Swoosh.
With a tap of his foot, Qing Feng retreated to Zi Chen's side. Although they had been fighting just now, he had still seen what had happened outside. He knew that after Ya Wei attacked, Zi Chen had suffered a great loss, and his escape route had been completely cut off.
Looking at Zi Chen beside him, Qing Feng noticed that Zi Chen's expression was still calm. His pale face was gradually turning red. It was obvious that the injuries he had suffered earlier were quickly recovering.
Because Heaven-Defying Cultivators possessed Heaven-Defying energy, their injuries recovered much faster than ordinary Heaven-Defying Cultivators. Qing Feng wasn't worried about Zi Chen's injuries. What he was worried about was whether Zi Chen's battle strength had been greatly reduced due to the loss of Skyblade.
Just as the worry appeared on his face, Qing Feng saw a faint smile appear on Zi Chen's face. He saw Zi Chen looking at Ya Wei and saying, "As expected of the strongest and most mysterious Heaven-Defying Cultivator. What a good plan."
Five Elements had already made his move. Naturally, he had made his stance clear. At this moment, he stood together with the other five, including Lei Dong. The six experts were fighting side by side. Ya Wei looked at Zi Chen with a smug smile on his face.
The battle situation he had simulated hundreds of times in his mind had finally started according to his plan. Based on those simulations, Zi Chen had no chance of survival. When he thought about how the greatest threat was about to die in his hands, Ya Wei felt a little excited. It was difficult for him to regain his previous calmness.
Hearing Zi Chen's words, he said smugly, "It's okay. Everything is as expected. Of course, it's better than expected."
Zi Chen looked at Ya Wei in silence. Beside him, Qing Feng frowned slightly. He didn't feel any nervousness or depression from Zi Chen. He had suffered such a great loss, but he still looked calm. Or rather, he still looked confident.
Although he didn't know where Zi Chen's confidence came from, and whether it was an act or not, Qing Feng felt that when he stood beside him, facing the six experts, he didn't feel so nervous. At the very least, he didn't have the urge to laugh.
Ya Wei continued, "You don't have the Skyblade, so your battle strength is greatly reduced. Now, you can only rely on the short blade, extreme speed, extreme Yin, and extreme Yang. However, these methods are not enough to resolve the crisis you are in today.
"You don't have the fragment, so you have no way to retreat. Your extreme speed is limited to this space. Your extreme Yin and extreme Yang are limited to only one type, which is completely useless. As for the short blade, it can't pose a threat to us. Zi Chen, I have calculated everything for you. Today is the day you die."
Hearing Ya Wei's words, Zi Chen's calm expression fluctuated. He looked at Ya Wei and said, "How do you know I have extreme Yin?" Ya Wei chuckled.
Wag Wei gently smiled and said, "Is this a secret? I'm afraid you don't know. I've established an alliance, and many forces of the Martial War Continent have joined my alliance. In that alliance, there's a force called the Everlasting Sect. On the day the alliance was established, several existences of the Everlasting Sect told me everything about you. Oh, I forgot to mention it. What surprised me was that someone as vicious and merciless as you would have friends, as well as confidantes."
Seeing Ya Wei's smile, Zi Chen nodded and said gloomily, "So that's how it is. It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Everlasting Sect when I return."
Seeing the cold killing intent in Zi Chen's eyes, Ya Wei said, "You really are vicious and merciless. You won't even let off the sect that nurtured you. However, you no longer have a chance. This place will be your burial ground. Before you die, I feel like I have to remind you that before you die, you can do a good deed. Don't let Qing Feng die with you."
Ya Wei turned to Qing Feng and said, "Your battle strength is extraordinary. I have high hopes for you. My target is only Zi Chen. There is no need for you to die with him."
Qing Feng looked at Ya Wei indifferently.
Zi Chen turned to look at Qing Feng and said, "What he said is somewhat reasonable. At this time, you can make a new choice."
Hearing Ya Wei's words, Qing Feng was expressionless. When he heard Zi Chen's words, he turned to look at Zi Chen with a trace of dissatisfaction. He directly said, "I have to make a new choice. Zi Chen, I am Lord Qing Feng. I am destined to shake the entire Martial Continent. This time, I came out of seclusion with the purpose of punishing evil and protecting the weak. Now that you are in danger, how can I retreat?"
Qing Feng's words were righteous and generous. On the other side, Hei Long and An Peng had a rare trace of shame on their faces. If the two of them had been more decisive, four against six, they might have had a chance of winning.
At this time, Qing Feng still insisted on not leaving. This made Zi Chen very surprised. Of course, he was also very touched. He looked at Qing Feng and said, "I, Zi Chen, rarely admire others. However, at this time, I have to say that I admire your courage."
"You are welcome. Who asked me to be Lord Qing Feng?"
Hearing their words, Lei Dong looked at the two with an unhappy face and said coldly, "The two of you are about to die. What are you waiting for?"
"Qing Feng, look for the right opportunity. We will prepare to go deeper." A spiritual thought suddenly sounded in Qing Feng's sea of consciousness.
"Deeper."
Qing Feng was startled, but he did not change his expression and asked, "Are we not going to have a life and death battle?"
"In this situation, do you think the two of us can win? The most important thing now is to find the shield and find a way to retreat."
"But you don't have the fragment. Can you find the shield?"
"Previously, I had a feeling that the shield is in the depths. You can try to find it."
The two of them did not change their expressions, but they were communicating with their spiritual thoughts.
Looking at the two of them, Ya Wei smiled faintly and said, "Attack immediately. The two of them want to run."
Although he could not hear the content of the two's voice transmission, Ya Wei could already guess what they were going to do next.
"Boom!"
Powerful energy surged again. The expressions of the few of them became incomparably cold. Dense murderous intent once again engulfed the area.
"You go first. I will stop them."
Qing Feng did not show any weakness. Green wind surged around his body and he shouted at the same time.
"Silly. Let's go first."
Zi Chen did not say anything and pulled Qing Feng away. At this time, fighting against six people alone was not courage, but pure foolishness.
"You can't escape."
However, just as Zi Chen moved, Ya Wei's figure flashed and appeared in front of Zi Chen. His speed was not slow either.
Zi Chen's expression did not change in the face of Ya Wei's obstruction. He believed that among the same level, no one could surpass him with speed, not even Ya Wei.
The Heavenly Thunder Wings flapped at a high frequency behind him. Zi Chen displayed his extreme speed and instantly made a detour, rushing towards the depths.
"Without the fragment, you won't be able to find the shield at all."
Ya Wei smiled coldly, but he had already caught up. At the same time, Zi Chen also heard the sound of something breaking through the air. Then, a burst of energy appeared beside Zi Chen and exploded.
"Thunderclap Ninth Heaven."
Lei Dong's loud shout rang out again. In the sky, a vortex appeared, and lightning flashed.
"Hum."
However, this time, before the lightning could descend from the vortex, a golden feather pierced through the air and hit the vortex.
"Boom!"
In the vortex, the lightning began to rage, and then it exploded with a loud bang.
Lei Dong coughed out blood, his face pale. His attack was actually broken by the arrow of the clone.
However, the clone had also completed its final mission. It disappeared into thin air, and the Divine Dragon Bow floated in the air.
"Get the bow first."
