Chapter 1987: The Red-robed Old Man (2/2)
As soon as the sword had appeared, it shot off as a red streak of light, directly slashing through space towards Jian Chen.
Huai An’s desire to kill Jian Chen had already reached the point of no return. Now that Jian Chen was about to board the spatial battleship and leave the Cloud Plane, he could not allow it.
As a result, he basically wanted to kill Jian Chen regardless of the consequences right now, even if he had to offend the Blood Sun Empire, even if he had to lose an arm.
The red sword moved extremely quickly, so fast that distance seemed insignificant before it. With a flash, it arrived before Jian Chen, stabbing towards his head with a bloody presence.
However, it was also at this moment that the space around Jian Chen and Kai Ya pulsed gently. In this moment of life and death, Jian Chen and Kai Ya vanished. The sword hit nothing.
Huai An’s gaze shifted upwards slightly. He looked at the huge cabin door of the spatial battleship and saw that Jian Chen and Kai Ya had already appeared outside the cabin silently. They were just about to enter.
“This person is wanted by our Empyrean Demon Cult. He is related to a major matter that has happened to our cult recently. If you stop me, you are opposing the Empyrean Demon Cult. I will definitely report this matter to the higher-ups. Once the great elder is alarmed, you won’t be able to endure the consequences,” Huai An roared out. With a thought, the sword flashed and continued towards Jian Chen.
He was not afraid of failing to kill Jian Chen. His demonic artifact had the ability to devour souls. Those who were slain by the sword could have their souls directly wiped out if he chose to.
As long as he injured Jian Chen with the sword, even if it just scratched him, his demonic artifact could suck away Jian Chen’s soul instantly.
The red-robed old man did not waver at all from Huai An’s threats, “Do you think that you’ll be able to scare me once you mention the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult? I tell you what’s even more funny? A mere Overgod being able to alarm the great elder that rarely ever appears. Huai An, don’t you think what you’re saying is rather hilarious?”
With that, the old man grabbed at space. With his gesture, the world seemed to enter his palm, and the sword that shot towards Jian Chen appeared in his hand silently. The old man gripped the blade with two fingers.
No matter how the sword struggled, it was unable to break free from the old man’s grasp.
At this moment, Kai Ya had already grabbed Jian Chen’s shoulder, entering the spatial battleship with Chanlong. They had vanished from Huai An’s view.
Huai An’s face became terrifyingly sunken. He understood the power of the spatial battleship. Once Jian Chen had entered the cabin, it would mean he had lost his opportunity to eliminate Jian Chen unless this Overgod decided to come out again.
Naturally, the spatial battleship would come across various dangers as it moved through outer space. It would even encounter the attacks of extremely powerful space beasts.
As a result, various formations covered the spatial battleship, making it extremely powerful in terms of both offence and defence. With his cultivation as a First Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, there was nothing he could do to it.
