Chapter 754
Killing Another Martial Saint
Countless miles away, a roar of shock and anger erupted from the Nine Candles of the Holy Land.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion resounded from that area.
A giant silver tree rose from the ground, reaching to the heavens and radiating brilliant silver light.
Then, five-colored divine light burst forth, and various true spirits appeared in all directions.
Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Fire Phoenix
The true spirit roared, covering the entire universe, unleashing terrifying divine powers. Mountains were obliterated from the ground, and the earth sank.
Amidst the dazzling, multicolored killing intent, a nine-headed, mountain-like monster emerged from a faint green flame, roaring and howling at the several True Spirits.
The nine heads are ferocious and look like evil spirits, like the ancient ferocious beast Jiuying, with different supernatural manifestations shooting out from the nine heads.
There was black calamity water, which clashed with the Phoenix True Fire; there were swords and spears, and green poisonous gas, which filled the world and looked extremely ferocious.
“zheng”
A resounding clang echoed through the heavens and earth, followed by a burst of silver light. A three-pointed, double-edged spear tore through the mist, striking directly at the nine-headed beast.
In a flash, a silver light streaked across the sky, and one of the beast's heads exploded with a deafening roar.
The ferocious beast roared in terror and rage, revealing the voice of the evil martial saint Jiuzhu within. The remaining eight heads simultaneously blasted towards the void to one side.
In an instant, golden light rippled in that void.
Amidst the golden light, a majestic Dharma image stepped out from the void, clad in a dragon armor, with a lion-mane belt around its waist, and its eyes blazing with divine light.
"Finally, I've got you!"
Chen Yuan's appearance was ferocious, and every word he uttered was like a thunderclap, shaking the heavens.
As soon as he finished speaking, his vertical eye on his forehead suddenly opened, and two golden beams of light swept across the surroundings like divine lamps. Wherever his gaze fell, the green poisonous smoke melted away like ice and snow.
Immediately following, his god-like Dharma form suddenly let out a cold snort, and a dragon roar arose. The True Dragon Armor trembled, and pieces of colorful armor plates flew out like celestial maidens scattering flowers, shooting towards the Dharma form of the Nine Candle Manifestations, transforming into peerless divine weapons.
The distance of dozens of miles was covered in the blink of an eye. The dragon-scale divine weapon transformed into a rain of pear blossoms, slashing through the air towards the remaining eight heads of Jiuzhu.
The eight heads of the Nine Candles roared in unison, and eight beams of light shone through the sky, fiercely confronting the torrential rain and dragon scales.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the mountains and earth around the two Martial Saint Dharma Images erupted, and the divine light that burst forth completely engulfed the two Dharma Images.
From a distance, it looked as if the place had been turned into a chaotic mess, as if two ferocious beasts were wrestling within it.
The deafening noise lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, until at a certain moment, the chaos suddenly fell silent with a piercing and unwilling shriek.
Then, the colorful chaos suddenly shrank, vanished, and disappeared.
The two colossal Dharma images vanished, leaving behind only devastation; rocks turned into lava, and the earth split open into abysses.
After the commotion in the distance disappeared, a flash of light appeared in the void above Tianxiong Pass, and the Dharma image clad in the armor of a true dragon appeared out of thin air.
Those golden eyes, like those of a god, coldly swept over the men and women of the Northern Liang camp.
At this moment, the already demoralized Northern Liang elite cavalry completely lost their confidence and were overwhelmed by the overwhelming force.
"Our Martial Saint is dead."
"Run!"
The elite cavalry of Beiliang were utterly routed and fled in all directions.
As for the two Northern Liang dragons and tigers, they have already been killed by General Qi Tian, who has broken through to the Martial Saint realm.
Thus, the battle to defend Tianxiong Pass was a great victory!
,.
In the Zhonglang Hall of Tianxiong Pass after the battle, Chen Yuan held a bronze candlestick in his hand, one of his war trophies.
The person he had long wanted to kill, Cheng Shengdi Jiuzhu, became a victim of gunfire.
"Lord Chen, how was my performance in the play you arranged today?" General Qi Tian sat imposingly in the chair beside him, his laughter deafening.
People are in high spirits when they have a happy occasion, and it is rare to see this demon-suppressing general in such a state.
Chen Yuan tucked the candlestick into his sleeve, chuckled, and looked at the general.
"Fortunately, General Qi, you broke through in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to perform this act."
It turned out that Chen Yuan guessed that the Northern Liang troops dared to come and probe because they must be afraid of him, so they sent the Martial Saint to support them.
He had already figured out the other party's intentions, so the other party was completely unprepared for their plan, and the evil martial saint soon appeared.
When the Nine Candles first appeared, Chen Yuan, who was waiting for the actors to take their positions, used his divine eye to see that the other party's body was not the real one.
Therefore, he let Qi Tian appear and stall for time, while he hid in the shadows to find where the other party's true identity was hidden.
Then came what happened next!
Although the Nine Candles of the Holy Land were very cautious and retreated in time when they encountered Qi Tian, it was too late, and they ended up with a clean, white mess.
The biggest variable in this contest between the two sides is naturally Qi Tian's breakthrough to Martial Saint.
Otherwise, if no one had been able to hold off Jiuzhu, Chen Yuan wouldn't have had a chance to find the other party's true form.
"I have nothing more to say. With me here, I will never allow the people of Beiliang to break in and disrupt our southward campaign." Qi Tian looked at Chen Yuan and said nothing more. This one promise was worth a thousand words.
He knew that his breakthrough to Martial Saint was entirely due to Chen Yuan's support, the cultivation method for breaking through to Martial Saint, and the Demon King's essence. Anyway, he still couldn't repay it all.
Neither of them were particularly sentimental men. Chen Yuan nodded, his eyes gleaming.
"The Northern Liang army has lost two Martial Saints, so they will not pose any threat to my Shu region in the short term. Now that you are here, I can go south with peace of mind to deal with those beasts."
"There are many problems over there, but we have to face them eventually." He said, standing up and looking out of the hall towards the south.
"Our soldiers have already made their final rest inside the defensive line and have split up to set off."
After speaking, he turned to face General Qi Tian, who had also risen.
"I'm leaving this place to you."
Qi Tian understood the meaning behind his words.
"Are you leaving already? In such a hurry?"
“Originally, I didn’t plan to do this early, but now that you’ve broken through to Martial Saint, I can free up some of my hands. Anyway, I’ve already arranged some things in advance.”
"Get to the front lines as soon as possible, otherwise I'm worried that without me in charge, those undead kings who promised to clear the level will cause some trouble."
Upon hearing this, Qi Tian realized that Chen Yuan's words made sense, so he stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he had a premonition in his heart.
"I feel like this battle is going to be earth-shattering!"
"Then let's fight them to the bitter end!" Chen Yuan smiled broadly, his voice steady and powerful.
"Haha, I'm leaving. The rest of the work here is up to you!"
With that, he laughed and waved his hand behind his back. Then, with a single step, his figure vanished.
The next second, a beam of white light shot into the sky.
Then, a strange cry rang out outside the Zhonglang Hall.
"Hey Chen, I haven't even started yet!"
"I haven't gone up yet."
(P.S.: My new book, "Qingdu Mountain and Water Gentleman," has been released. It's a classical fantasy novel; those interested can check it out. As for "Xunshan," I said I'd finish it as soon as possible, but I've been putting it off and updating it intermittently because a family member has cancer. I'm typing this chapter right here at the hospital nurses' station. Please forgive me. This book will be finished as soon as possible.) (End of Chapter)
