Chapter 809
by fanqienovelChapter 809: The Rescue
The sword aimed at Wang Chen had been meticulously planned, with the attacker channeling all his energy, spirit, and mind into it, unleashing an unstoppable sharp sword energy.
Such a sword momentum could make even innate level practitioners hesitate!
However, to Wang Chen, this sword was overly flashy, its power scattered and superficial, and its speed lacking.
He simply delivered a single palm strike.
With one palm, the frosty sword flowers shattered and vanished as the overwhelming fist power ruthlessly struck the swordsman.
Bang!
Accompanied by a dull sound, a broken body was sent flying.
Wang Chen ignored the red messages flashing in his vision, turning his wrist to store the Sunset Bow into the Xumi Ring.
He then swung both fists to the sides.
Bang! Bang!
Swords broke, blades shattered!
Two more figures were hurled into the air, lifeless as they fell.
Wang Chen, unleashing his full power, found killing the innate strong fighters no harder than slaughtering chickens!
The intense smell of blood wafted in the wind, and the horrific deaths of the innate strong fighters finally cooled the heated minds of the others, who scattered in panic to escape.
Some of them struck Wang Chen, but it was as if a clay ox had fallen into the sea, causing not a single ripple and not even a hair to be harmed!
In the eyes of these innate strong fighters, Wang Chen had transformed into a terrifying demon.
No human could match him!
Wang Chen did not pursue them.
There was no need, as his most important task at that moment was to protect Hu Jiao Jiao, ensuring she was undisturbed at a critical moment and that her transformation could succeed.
Just as a few innate strong fighters from Taiwu City fled, the rumbling sounds of footsteps reached Wang Chen’s ears.
Squads of fully armed martial masters and warriors appeared in the streets surrounding Wang Chen’s residence.
The army of Taiwu City had mobilized!
Wang Chen frowned.
If he were alone, no matter how many martial masters and warriors there were, they wouldn’t be able to stop him.
The problem was that Wang Chen could not leave the place he was guarding, and he was forced to engage in a defensive battle against hundreds of elite warriors.
That became a bit tricky!
Moreover, Wang Chen noticed that these martial masters and warriors had brought heavy crossbows, and there were at least dozens of them!
Heavy crossbows were advanced versions of crossbows, typically used for city defense or in the field. The ones equipped in Taiwu City were usually set up on the city walls to deal with tough fierce beasts.
Now these heavy crossbows had been brought here!
“Stop!”
With a command, the city defense martial masters and soldiers of Taiwu City halted in their tracks, each of them readying their crossbows.
A series of long crossbow arrows were aimed at Wang Chen on the rooftop, their triangular arrowheads gleaming with a metallic sheen, sending shivers down the spine.
The power of these heavy crossbows was formidable; even innate strong fighters with protective true energy would not dare to take a hit from one.
There were actually forty to fifty of these heavy crossbows deployed to deal with Wang Chen!
“Listen up, you on the roof!”
At that moment, an armored martial master stepped forward, raising his head and shouting, “You are surrounded! If you value your life, surrender immediately; otherwise, face the consequences!”
Hearing the phrase "face the consequences" made Wang Chen regret uttering it earlier, and now he felt the backlash.
He did not respond; instead, he took a deep breath.
He activated his Qi and blood!
Cultivators in the Misty Mountains Realm could perform various spells, but spiritual energy was too scarce. For centuries, they had developed a method to use their own vital blood to activate spells.
Wang Chen had learned much from Elder Yao.
As his Qi and blood surged like a tide, at that moment, Wang Chen’s energy, spirit, and mind peaked, manifesting an illusion of a roaring Heavenly Dragon!
“Begone!”
Wang Chen’s roar echoed like rolling thunder, crushing into the hearts of everyone involved in the siege.
They immediately felt immense fear.
Many realized that their judgment of Wang Chen had been mistaken.
The trained martial artists exchanged glances, unwilling to attack such a formidable cultivator who had entered the path of the extraordinary.
Perhaps Wang Chen might prevail, but they could not predict how many would perish in the process!
No one wished to become a stepping stone for others.
However, the armored martial master thought differently; while everyone else was fearful and wished to flee, he could only advance!
“Prepare…”
“Hold!”
Just as the armored martial master was about to demand a life-or-death battle with Wang Chen, a voice forcefully entered everyone’s ears.
A white-robed cultivator floated in, lightly landing in front of the armored martial master.
It was Mo Han!
Holding a plaque, he spoke in a deep voice, “As this involves cultivators, I will take over this matter from here!”
The expression of the armored martial master shifted; he gritted his teeth and said, “We’re leaving!”
In name, the Taiwu Pavilion was the highest authority in Taiwu City, but the upper echelons were well aware that the true control of the city lay with the Qinyun Palace on Taiwu Mountain!
The cultivators there all possessed unique abilities and mastered powerful spells, and no one dared to offend them.
The temper of the armored martial master was quite explosive; seeing the target trapped, he wished to take the credit when a cultivator from the Qinyun Palace disrupted everything.
Little did he know, they had saved him.
After hesitating for a moment, the armored martial master ultimately did not dare to gamble with his lives.
Teams of martial masters and soldiers quickly vanished into the end of the alley.
As for the innate strong fighters killed by Wang Chen, no one dared to come and collect the bodies.
Once the city guard had all left, Mo Han flew to Wang Chen’s side and remarked, “Wang, the commotion you caused is truly too great.”
His gaze skimmed over the illusion of the white fox, his eyes filled with a strange light, “The transformation of fierce beasts into spirits; it’s been years since I’ve seen this. This has truly opened my eyes!”
Wang Chen smiled and said, “Mo, why do you think some people like to take others’ things and then brazenly claim them as their own?”
Mo Han was left speechless.
He bowed to Wang Chen and then turned to leave.
He did so in a straightforward manner.
This caught Wang Chen by surprise.
The surrounding area soon returned to silence, even carrying a hint of stillness.
When Wang Chen returned to the hidden chamber, he happened to witness Hu Jiao Jiao’s transformation!
She first sprouted hair, a beautiful mane of silky hair.
Next, her head, face, neck, chest, and arms took on a human form, down to her lower abdomen!
A girl, radiant and breathtakingly beautiful, stood before Wang Chen.
This transformation deeply shook Wang Chen and made him capture a fleeting spark of insight that vanished like a thin veil over his mind.
“Wang Chen…”
A soft call entered Wang Chen’s ears.
Wang Chen let out a long breath and took out a prepared robe to cover the girl before him.
At that moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, which seemed to reflect a thousand stars, dazzling and beautiful!
Then she smiled sweetly, as if spring breezes melted frost, bringing blossoms to the mountains.
She rushed into Wang Chen’s embrace!
