Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2298: The Name of Qing Shan

Although Donglin Yanxue was unable to sense the shockwaves of the battle in the distance due to her limited cultivation, she learned quite a lot from the cries of the protectors, and her expression changed as a result.

“Quick, send some more people over and finish the battle fast,” Donglin Yanxue called out.

Immediately, three protectors out of the seven remaining charged towards the vicious beast. The four left were responsible for Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue’s safety.

The seven protectors were all Hallowed Saint Masters with mid seven-colored soulcores. Now that four of them were working together against a vicious beast that was only an early Godking, it was impossible for the beast to last long, regardless of how extraordinary the beast had become thanks to the assistance of the world.

Soon, the colossal beast emitted a chilling cry and had its head cut off by a blade of light condensed from the Laws of the Hallowed the four protectors wielded. It collapsed onto the ground with a weight of several dozen tonnes, causing the earth to tremble and dust to get kicked up.

“Quick, look for the Radiant Origin Pearl!” The moment the beast died, Jian Chen immediately called out to Donglin Yanxue.

Jian Chen had become stern as well. The Hallowed Saint Masters were unable to observe the battle in the distance, but he was able to see it clearly. Qing Shan’s strength was unimaginably great. As a Godking, he had actually managed to gain the upper hand against a Primordial realm expert like elder He Tian, completely suppressing the elder.

From a single glance, Jian Chen could tell that unless an accident happened, elder He Tian’s defeat was only a matter of time.

As a result, he became heavy-hearted. If elder He Tian was unable to stop Qing Shan, it would be impossible for the protectors to be Qing Shan’s opponent even if they worked together.

Donglin Yanxue did not hesitate at all after hearing Jian Chen call out. She immediately flew towards the nest of the vicious beast while surrounded in Radiant Saint Force.

Jian Chen and the eight protectors followed behind her closely.

As soon as they reached a kilometer away from the nest, a gleam of light shone through Donglin Yanxue’s eyes. She could already sense the existence of the Radiant Origin Pearl, so she immediately sped up.

A while later, the group entered the vicious beast’s nest. It was a huge cave, gloomy and damp. A thumb-sized Radiant Origin Pearl had been wedged in the rock at the top of the cave. It shone with a gentle light, providing some weak luminance to the gloomy cave.

A protector took action. He extended a finger, and a strand of power from the Laws of the Hallowed shot out from his fingertip. It struck the rock above and allowed the Radiant Origin Pearl to fall into his hand. Then he passed it to Donglin Yanxue.

Donglin Yanxue stowed away the Radiant Origin Pearl. Just when she wanted to check the surroundings, Jian Chen’s voice rang out, “We can’t stay here for long. We must leave immediately.”

Donglin Yanxue frowned when she heard that. She was the candidate. She was the only one in charge here. Since when did Chang Yang become the one giving out orders?

Donglin Yanxue looked at Jian Chen with impatience. Right when she wanted to say something, the expressions of the eight protectors beside her all changed.

“Oh no, they’re heading towards us…”

“Those are the shockwaves from Primordial realm experts. Once they’re too close to us, even we will be injured…”

“Not only will we be injured, but we won’t even be able to protect ourselves. No, we have to leave quick…”

“They’re moving far too quickly. Leave! If we don’t go, it’ll be too late, and we’ll end up suffering…”

…

The eight protectors all cried out. All of them had become extremely stern. They had been observing the distance with the senses of their souls. Even though they were unable to approach the centre of the battle, they could clearly tell where elder He Tian and Qing Shan were.

The cries from the eight protectors immediately made Donglin Yanxue lose interest in bickering with Jian Chen over this tiny matter. She immediately left with everyone.

The eight protectors clearly demonstrated the intense uneasiness in their hearts. As soon as they emerged from the cave, they controlled Radiant Saint Force to envelope Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue without any explanation before shooting off into the distance as quickly as they could.

At this moment, even Donglin Yanxue could hear the thunderous booms in the distance. The sounds became louder and louder. It was getting closer and closer.

Donglin Yanxue’s heart sank with this. It seemed that the situation was far worse than she had imagined.

The eight protectors who fled with them were completely silent. Their faces were sunken as they escaped as quickly as they could. They wanted to pull away from the Primordial realm experts who rapidly approached them.

As the deafening booms drew closer and closer, shockwaves of energy extremely terrifying to the eight protectors wreaked havoc in the surroundings, causing space to distort. The origin energy that permeated the World of Moon and Star became exceedingly disorderly.

In the distant sky, two figures were clearly presented before the eight protectors. Elder He Tian and Qing Shan were already close enough for the eight protectors to see them.

However, when the eight protectors saw the scene in the distance, their faces changed drastically. Intense fear rose up from the bottom of their hearts.

What did they see?

They clearly saw elder He Tian covered in blood, blocking the attacks from behind him as he fled for his life.

A young man in azure robes pursued elder Mu Tian closely from behind. He had a cold, resolute face as his eyes shone with an astonishing cold light.

Clearly, Elder He Tian was not the young man’s opponent.

“Qing Shan of the Martial Soul lineage has infiltrated the World of Moon and Star. He wants to kill all people from the Radiant Saint Hall. All protectors immediately flee while protecting your candidates. Find a way to contact the outside world…”

At this moment, elder He Tian’s old voice rang out. His hoarse voice was filled with urgency, along with some weakness like he was becoming feeble.

Qing Shan was just too powerful. Whenever he clashed with elder He Tian, he was able to impact elder He Tian’s soul with his Martial Soul Force. They had not fought for long, but elder He Tian was already defeated and heavily injured. Currently, he could only flee desperately.

“What! Qing Shan of the Martial Soul lineage has infiltrated this place…”

“It’s actually someone from the Martial Soul lineage. We’re in trouble now…”

“Even though Qing Shan is a peak Godking, he already has the power to kill Primordial realm experts. It’s impossible for us to be his opponent. Run, run quick…”

…

The eight protectors all paled. Without any hesitation, they immediately began to flee crazily at the greatest speed that they could unleash with Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue in tow.
