Chapter 352 - Complete Chaos (2/2)
“Dear God—” Chanyu Zheng’s tears continued to flow down his face. He suddenly lifted his hand, wanting to strike his forehead with his palm attack. Right then, a cyan light swiftly flew toward him. “Elder, you can’t!”
It was Perfected Immortal Guyang from the League. He grabbed Chanyu Zheng’s hand in a firm hold and said calmly, “It’s obvious that the Devil’s sects came prepared. More than ever, you must remain calm, Senior Chanyu!”
In his sorrow, Chanyu Zheng had suffered a momentary lapse of judgment. Now that he had calmed down, he held tightly onto Perfected Immortal Guyang’s hand. “Brother Guyang, please give me a hand! I know you’re friends with that kid! That’s why I didn’t make things difficult for you earlier! But now! Now, we can’t let this kid run anymore! If he defects to the Devil’s sects in the future, it’s surely the end of our Orthodox Path!”
Perfected Immortal Guyang didn’t argue. He pointed to Xiao Chen. “Listen to my command, everyone! Capture the Devil’s… Capture Xiao Chen! Should he resist, kill without mercy!”
“KILL!” Several voices resounded, crying for blood. A sea of cultivators went up to Xiao Chen and had him firmly surrounded. But no one dared to approach him. They didn’t know that post-Devil’s Three Turns. Xiao Chen could barely stand straight, never mind resisting.
Chanyu Zheng turned around to address the independent cultivators standing in the distance. Saluting them, he said, “My friends! If the League has ever offended you in the past, I hope you’ll forgive us. Today, it’s a matter of life or death of the Orthodox Path! I sincerely request your help! I won’t be able to thank you enough for it!”
Many independent cultivators shook their heads and sighed. Even though the League was despicable, it was nonetheless the leader of the Orthodox Path. It ultimately wouldn’t harm the living like the Devil’s sects would. Now that the Devil’s factions have come to their door, it would be too embarrassing of them if they continue to sit still and watch.
Quite a few independent cultivators took out their magic treasures and weapons, preparing to fight their common enemy. Chanyu Zheng felt gratified to see this. Meanwhile, Perfected Immortal Qing Chen and the rest were naturally ready to go to war. Xiaoyue’s expression was ghastly. She had wanted to borrow power from the Spiritual Meridians, but those Devil’s sects bastards had utterly ruined her plans. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to hack the Bloodied Fiend Sect’s Bloodied Mad Swordsman into pieces.
Considering her character, she must have long guessed the outcome today. However, she wasn’t willing to follow that line of thought. Suddenly, her bellow shattered the air. “Today, I’ll put my life on the line and wipe out the Devil’s sects!”
“We’ll put our lives on the line and wipe out the Devil’s sects! We’ll put our lives on the line and wipe out the Devil’s sects!”
With the Thousand Feathers Sect being an Ancient Immortal Clan, Xiaoyue’s words naturally carried significant weight. Many cultivators began echoing her words, producing a loud symphony of voices.
In the public square, Chanyu Zheng stared coldly at Xiao Chen. “Do you want to do the killing yourself, or do you want me to do it?”
Xiao Chen sneered, making a hollow and bitter sound of laughter. Seeing that he wasn’t doing anything, Chanyu Zheng yelled, “Kill him!” The moments the command resounded, more than ten disciples immediately charged at Xiao Chen with their swords. Right then, a cry erupted from the distance. “Overturning heaven and earth—Meow Meow Punch!”
In an instant, a red silhouette appeared in front of Xiao Chen, followed by a dozen or so of golden fists that sent his attackers flying. Chanyu Zheng was alarmed. He narrowed his eyes and said, the shock evident in his voice, “You’re… the demoness Yu Linglong!”
Yu Linglong wore a red dress and two red bracelets. Her appearance, about fourteen or fifteen years of age, was innocent and harmless. She placed her hands on her hips and seethed, “Hmph! Now that you know who this princess is, what are you waiting for? Excuse yourselves right now!”
She then turned around and propped up Xiao Chen. “Cutie, they’re all trying to harm you. You should leave with me…” Xiao Chen pushed her away before she could finish her sentence. He said coldly, “I told you. Even if it means dying, I will never have anything to do with you Devil’s Practice followers…”
Yu Linglong stomped her feet in anger. She then hauled Xiao Chen over her shoulder and ran out of the square. The weak and defenseless Xiao Chen had no way of getting out of her hold. He yelled, “Let go of me!”
Yu Linglong ignored him and continued running. Perfected Immortal Guyang swiftly appeared in front of her. “Young lady, he’s not willing to go with you. Please leave him behind.”
Yu Linglong stomped her feet again and snarled, “Leave him behind so you can kill him? Older man! Get out of my way or don’t blame me for being discourteous!”
Chanyu Zheng narrowed his eyes. The Devil’s sects must have infiltrated the other city districts as well, he thought. This girl seemed to have quite a high standing, so why don’t they use her to blackmail them? After the thought occurred to him, he yelled, “Brother Guyang! She’s the princess of the Devil’s sects! We must not let her escape!” His figure vanished as he made a mad dash over to her.
“Take this!” Yu Linglong spun around, throwing a mighty punch. A golden fist the size of a millstone whizzed through the air, aiming for Chanyu Zheng. Chanyu Zheng, who had suffered tremendous injuries earlier, was forced to stagger backward after taking the hit. He couldn’t help feeling horrified. The girl was astonishingly powerful, even without the force sealed within her.
Perfected Immortal Guyang immediately moved, extending his five fingers in an attempt to grab Xiao Chen, who lay on her back. Detecting the oncoming attack from behind her, Yu Linglong swiftly turned around and punched. Perfected Immortal Guyang deftly dodged the attack, while Chanyu Zheng rushed toward her from the other direction. Yu Linglong once again turned around to attack. The spinning around gave Xiao Chen a dizzy spell. Hauled on her shoulders, he felt like his five viscera, and six bowels were being moved around.
“Hold on… Hold on…Stop spinning around. Are you here to save me or here to kill me…” Xiao Chen said weakly.
“Cutie, don’t speak! I promise I’ll get you out of here…” Then, a loud thud resounded. The moment she turned around, she accidentally slammed Xiao Chen’s head into the head of a disciple who was charging at them. Xiao Chen immediately saw stars dancing before his eyes.
“Ahhhh! Cutie, I’m so sorry! It wasn’t on purpose…” She hadn’t finished her sentence when another thud rang out. She had once again knocked Xiao Chen’s head into the head of another disciple running up to them. Thud, thud, thud. The sound continued. Xiao Chen had no idea how many times his head was hit.
“Uh!…Huh! Cutie, are you hurting? Huh! It’s all my fault for being so clumsy…”
“I… I’m begging you… Put me down and let them kill me…”
