Chapter 1972: Sword Immortal (2/2)

The divine king was grim. Huai An’s attack was just too powerful. If he blocked it, the shockwaves created would result in heavy damage to the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. With no other choice, he could only fly up towards outer space.

Huai An looked at the divine king, and a cold smile appeared on his face. He also flew up, pursuing the divine king.

To another side, Jian Chen and Kai Ya were already fleeing as quickly as they could. The three Godkings pursued them closely.

As two late Overgods, it was naturally impossible for them to be faster than the two late Godkings. As a result, the distance between them shrank rapidly.

Jian Chen and Kai Ya did not flee towards the Tian Yuan clan. Instead, they travelled away from the clan, fleeing from the divine kingdom.

With the Tian Yuan clan’s current strength, it was impossible for them to stop the three Godkings from the Empyrean Demon Cult. Even the Godking level formations would not be enough to stop three late Godkings. Even if Mu Ku was there, it would not work either.

As a result, they would only bring disaster to the clan if they returned.

Basically all of Jian Chen’s power of the soul had been drained when he used the two strands of Profound Sword Qi. He was currently ingesting the Soul Recovery Pills he had purchased from the Xuandao Empire, so Kai Ya basically carried him as they fled.

However, Kai Ya once again demonstrated something that shocked Jian Chen. She used some kind of secret technique that allowed her to fuse with the surroundings and move with unbelievable speed. The three Godkings actually struggled to catch up to them over a short period of time.

“You can’t run, so just give up obediently!” Behind them, one of the Godkings from the Empyrean Demon Cult called out. Terrifying, tremendous pressure poured from his body, and he formed a seal with his hand before suddenly extending a finger forwards.

The space ten kilometers away suddenly tremored, actually freezing up at that moment from the gesture.

Jian Chen and Kai Ya were in the region of frozen space. Immediately, they felt a mysterious power lock down on their bodies, making it feel like they had ended up in mud. Their movements became extraordinarily slow, while their speed plummeted as well.

Less than ten kilometers separated them, so now that Jian Chen and Kai Ya had slowed down, the three Godkings caught up instantly. They struck out at the same time, where two targeted Jian Chen while the remaining dealt with Kai Ya.

Immediately, tremendous, terrifying energy shook up the surroundings. Even though the three late Godkings were not as awe-inspiring as Primordial realm experts when they unleashed their might, their strength was still shocking.

Jian Chen bellowed out. He wielded the Startling Rainbow sword as his battle intent surged into the sky. He had already equipped the damaged armor he had taken back from the ancestor of the Mo family. The sword in his hand danced, and he produced two golden strands of sword Qi.

Even though the power of his soul still had not recovered in that short amount of time, making it impossible for him to use the Profound Sword Qi, he was still able to put up a fight.

Kai Ya moved on the other side as well. She was extremely grim as the power from the three types of laws revolved around her. As her hands danced, the three powers condensed into three swords and shot out.

The Godking who faced Kai Ya raised an eyebrow and was slightly surprised when he saw this. He murmured, “Hmm? These laws are slightly strange!” The Godking from the Empyrean Demon Cult had also noticed that the laws that Kai Ya used were slightly different.

However, he did not have too much time to think about it. Their attacks collided together viciously.

Spurt!

Kai Ya puked up blood as her body was knocked away like a broken kite.

The laws she used were rather different, and she had delivered a shocking attack with the three types of laws, but she was still just a late Overgod after all. The difference between her and a late Godking was too great.

It was so great that even the three laws she could use were not enough to make up for it.

At the same time, from just a single clash with the two Godkings, Jian Chen produced a bloody mist that contained most of his organs. He was also blown away like Kai Ya while the Startling Rainbow sword in his hand had dimmed. A slight crack had appeared on the guard of the sword as well, and it stretched across the entire sword.

Late Godkings were just too powerful. Moreover, they had struck out together as well, so even with the protection of the god artifact, Jian Chen struggled to endure it, becoming extremely injured.

Most importantly, only the surface of his god artifact had been repaired. As such, although it seemed to be in perfect condition, its defences as a god artifact could not be used at all.

Blood constantly spurted out of his mouth as Jian Chen flew backwards. Every single mouthful of blood contained pieces of his organs.

He was able to put up a fight and win against early Godkings, but he would not be able to fight back at all against late Godkings.

The difference between late and early Godking was just far too great.

At this moment, Kai Ya caught up to Jian Chen with a pale face and some residual blood at the corner of her lips. She grabbed him before gritting her teeth, fleeing into the distance without any hesitation.

“Hahaha, and you still want to run? If we really do let you two puny Overgods escape, will the three of us still have the face to remain in the Hall of Protectors?” The three Godkings laughed aloud behind as they looked at Kai Ya and Jian Chen like cats toying with their food.
