Chapter 503
The Ancient Covenant!
"Insanity!"
The Netherworld Master's deathly eyes suddenly narrowed.
He never expected that a mere lower realm sinner would dare to be so arrogant in the face of the arrival of more than ten sect leaders in their true forms!
"Since you desire death, then I will grant your wish!"
Before he could finish speaking, the withered hand of the Underworld Master had already been raised and pressed forward sharply.
"--boom!"
The world suddenly went dark.
Then, a giant gray hand, formed entirely from the deathly aura of the underworld and the laws of chaos, suddenly materialized and, accompanied by the wails of countless wronged souls, slammed down on Zhu Chen's head!
This palm strike was more than a hundred times stronger than the attack from the previous chaotic corpse projection!
"--boom!"
"--boom!"
"--boom!"
Before the giant hand even arrived, the palace complex below began to crack inch by inch, as if it had instantly experienced ten thousand years.
"Let's do it!"
Almost at the same moment the Underworld Master made his move, the dozen or so figures exuding overwhelming auras in the surrounding void also moved!
However, instead of swarming and attacking Zhu Chen, they moved with perfect coordination, each occupying a position in the sky above the capital, subtly forming a formation that blocked all possible escape routes for Zhu Chen, their auras locked tightly in place.
Their purpose is clear.
That was to prevent Zhu Chen from escaping.
At the same time, it also serves as a backup for the Underworld Master, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time and seize the fortune on Zhu Chen's body!
"Big brother!"
Xiao Yan let out a low roar, and various strange flames around his body suddenly erupted, transforming into a dazzling fire ring that protected him.
He stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhu Chen, his eyes filled with determination: "If you want to harm my elder brother, you'll have to ask my Buddha's Wrath Lotus for permission first!"
"Count me in too!"
Lin Dong also flashed to Zhu Chen's side.
Wang Lin exchanged glances with Luo Feng and the others, and then they all stepped forward.
At this moment, apart from Han Li, everyone else chose to stand beside Zhu Chen, as if they were ready to live and die with him.
Their cultivation level may not be as high as that of these religious leaders.
But at this moment, no one retreated!
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it's laughable."
A cult leader dressed in a golden Taoist robe spoke coldly.
In his eyes, Xiao Yan and the others, whose cultivation had not yet reached the level of a sect leader, were no different from a few troublesome insects, which he could easily destroy.
"Whether it's futile or not, we'll only know after trying..."
Zhu Chen's eyes flashed with golden light, and his true dragon blood aura and Kunpeng runes lit up simultaneously. He was about to use his skills to directly confront the giant hand of the Netherworld Sect Master.
However, at that moment...
A clear, melodious female voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness, suddenly rang in everyone's ears:
"You want to mess with Zhu Chen? Have you asked me first?"
next moment.
A faint blue figure appeared in front of Zhu Chen as if by teleportation, and with a light lift of her jade arm, she directly blocked the giant hand from the underworld.
It's Ye Qingxian!
She made her move!
"Disperse."
Ye Qingxian murmured softly.
As a wisp of azure energy spread out, the colossal, sky-covering, netherworld hand was silently dissolved and disintegrated. The deathly aura receded, and the sky above the entire Fire Kingdom's capital was cleared!
"what?"
The Underworld Master let out a muffled groan, his body swaying slightly, and for the first time, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in his eyes.
The other sect leaders all turned their gazes to the suddenly appearing Ye Qingxian, their faces showing solemn expressions.
"Who is this woman? How could she so easily deflect the enraged attack of the Underworld Master?"
"Judging from his aura, although he is also at the level of a sect leader, he seems to be somewhat unusual!"
"I have never seen this person before..."
Ye Qingxian ignored the gazes cast at her.
She extended a slender finger and pointed at Zhu Chen beside her, then looked at the Underworld Sect Leader and the others and said, "I've protected this person. None of you can touch him today."
Although Ye Qingxian's tone was calm, her words carried an unquestionable attitude.
This left all the powerful religious leaders standing between heaven and earth momentarily stunned!
"Hahaha……"
After a brief silence, the Underworld Master suddenly let out a hoarse laugh.
He looked at Ye Qingxian and said, "Little girl, you have quite the nerve. I admit you have some skill, perhaps a bit stronger than the average sect leader. But have you seen clearly that I am not the only one here today? The Golden Radiance Sword Master of Sword Valley, the Yin Kui Ancestor of Demon Sunflower Garden, the Kui Niu King of Beast Sea... are all here!"
"Even if you possess extraordinary abilities, do you really think you can contend against the true forms of more than ten of us sect leaders by yourself?"
The Golden Sword Master snorted coldly and continued, "Fairy, you should not make a mistake. The Ten Fierce Treasures are of great importance and cannot be possessed by you alone. Retreat quickly, or you may avoid calamity."
Although the other sect leaders remained silent, their auras were already subtly connected, clearly indicating that they also agreed with the words of the Underworld Sect Master and the Golden Radiance Sword Master.
Ye Qingxian's strength may be slightly superior to that of the sect leader Shan Yi.
But it's absolutely impossible to contend with so many people at the same time!
However, faced with this near-desperate situation, Ye Qingxian showed no sign of panic. Instead, a slightly mocking smile appeared on her lips.
"Who said... I'm alone?"
Before she finished speaking, she had already raised her hands and quickly formed a mysterious hand seal in front of her chest.
"—Buzz!!!"
The void trembled.
An indescribable aura, seemingly carrying the weight of countless ages, suddenly emanated from her.
Immediately afterwards, an ancient scroll, neither gold nor jade, slowly emerged from her palm and floated into the air.
The scroll slowly unfurled.
Ancient characters appeared prominently on the scroll.
These characters are all formed from the most fundamental principles of heaven and earth, and each symbol carries the breath of the long river of time.
The moment the phantom of the scroll appeared.
Everyone was stunned!
"That is……"
The sinister smile on the face of the Underworld Master froze instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply!
The Golden Emperor Sword Master, the Yin Kui Ancestor, and other sect leaders who had descended upon this place all underwent a dramatic change in expression at this moment, with a deep-seated fear uncontrollably surging in their eyes!
"Ancient covenant... an oath from the Immortal Era? How is that possible? Wasn't that thing completely obliterated along with that era?"
An elderly cult leader with gray hair exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling.
How many years has it been since the covenant of the ancients was last performed?
I never expected to appear here today.
"Do you all still remember this ancient covenant?"
Holding a magic seal, Ye Qingxian's gaze swept over the fearful faces of the sect leaders in the sky, and she said, word by word, "If you still remember the contents of this alliance, I hope you can fulfill the promises you made back then. You don't have much time left. Rather than fighting amongst yourselves here, why not go to the border and have a good time, leaving a good name for future generations..."
