Chapter 878: Two Against Eigh (1/2)

“Never did I think he had returned and would even come with three other emissaries.” The Dare tribe patriarch could not help but become stern after seeing the four emissaries in the sky. Their appearance pressured him greatly.

“What bullsh*t emissaries? Acting so brazenly before me, the great Nubis, have you grown sick of living?” Nubis felt no fear. He rushed into the sky with his aura released, facing Yensen’s group along with Jian Chen a hundred meters in the sky.

Yensen stared coldly at the two of them and growled, “So you’re the two who injured the protector elders and the patriarch of my tribe?”

“So what if we did? Brat, do you want to take revenge for them? Too bad you might not be able to with your current strength.” Nubis crossed his arms and sneered at Yensen. His tone was scornful.

Yensen was a prodigy that rarely appeared even in a thousand years within the sea realm. He was raised in the palms of his seniors, maturing and being picked as an emissary of the hall. He had also taken an elder as his master. There were only a few people within the Serpent God Hall who could match his status so he was a prominent figure. Even ordinary 15th Star Seasoul Warriors needed to be courteous to him so how could he, such a highly-regarded prodigy, take Nubis’ scornful words? He immediately became enraged and a thick killing intent began to pour out from his heart.

“I don’t care which organization you belong to. I will be taking your life today. You need to learn the consequences of offending me. Do not challenge the dignity of a Serpent God Hall emissary.” A trident appeared in Yensen’s hand, which he directly used to stab at Nubis.

Immediately, the surrounding water-attributed energy condensed around the trident before forming a huge, trident-shaped figure. It stabbed toward Nubis with tremendous force.

Nubis turned into a blur and shot off into the distance with a slight movement. He said, “There are too many people here. I don’t want to injure innocent people so if you want to fight, come with me.”

Yensen’s trident pierced through the blur left behind by Nubis and caused that region of space to tremble. The residual force shot off into the distance, disintegrating the mountain range over ten kilometers away.

Yensen pulled back the trident and immediately pursued Nubis. The three other emissaries followed closely behind him.

Jian Chen turned into a flash and followed Nubis. However, just as he did that, the space around him began to shake. A silver-white spear the thickness of an arm shot toward him from behind.

The former patriarch of the Menghuang tribe had also struck in that moment against Jian Chen, hitting him silently with an amush.

A cold light flashed in his eyes and Chaotic Force filled every inch of his body. Jian Chen pushed the Chaotic Body to its limits.

A faint, golden glow immediately appeared as the vast energies of the spear struck Jian Chen’s back. In this crucial moment, the golden silkmail had blocked the spear’s attack.

However, the former patriarch was a Saint Ruler of the Eighth Heavenly Layer—the silkmail was unable to block the power of his attack. Its defenses collapsed while the spear continued onward with a decrease in force and brutally struck Jian Chen in the back.

But what happened next caused the four experts of the Menghuang tribe to become wide-eyed and drowned in disbelief. The spear did not impale Jian Chen as expected when it struck him and instead came to a stop after it hit. It was unable to continue any further. It seemed like the spear had struck a steel board, not a human.

“H- how is that possible!?”

“His defense is so powerful! Is he part of the Turtle clan?”

…

The four experts all cried out. Not only was their opponent powerful, the toughness of his body was also anomalous. This exceeded all their expectations, immediately pressuring them greatly. This was because it would be extremely difficult for them to pose a threat to an opponent with such powerful defense with their strength.

“People of the Menghuang tribe, since you’ve decided to take the initiative and attack, you can’t really blame me.” Jian Chen pulled out the Dragon Slaying Sword coldly. He shot toward the four experts and began a grand battle with them in the sky.

Three of the four were all Saint Rulers below the Fifth Heavenly Layer. Only the former patriarch belonged to the Eighth but Jian Chen’s Chaotic Body could withstand attacks from the Seventh. Together with the golden silkmail, it was extremely difficult for the former patriarch to harm him.

On another side, Nubis and Yensen fought each other a hundred kilometers away. Yensen was an emissary, so he was much more powerful than ordinary Saint Rulers. Unfortunately, he was only of the Eighth Heavenly Layer and was not Nubis’ opponent at all. He had already fallen into a disadvantaged position as soon as they began fighting.

“It’s like an idiot’s dream for you to want to punish me with your strength.” Nubis laughed aloud. He detested Yensen’s arrogant, condescending attitude so he did not hold back with the offensive language.

Nubis’ hands were surrounded by surging Saint Force. He used his left hand to grab the trident as he slapped Yensen’s face with his right.
