Chaotic Sword God

Looking at the incoming divine hall, Jian Chen did not extend his hand to catch it. He looked at the determined Jin Hong in surprise.

He had never thought that Jin Hong would sacrifice himself to save others. Against the undefeatable Life-devouring Beast king, he did not try to flee by himself. Instead, he chose to risk his life and draw it away to make time for everyone’s escape.

After all, Jin Hong did not have any particularly close ties with the prodigies here. Strictly speaking, they were not even the simplest of friends. They were all strangers. Only because of the seniors of their clans and their common goal had they formed a group together.

With how Jin Hong was willing to lay his life down for these people, Jian Chen was forced to reevaluate him.

“Hold on. Young master Jin Hong, you are the backbone of the entire group. You can’t leave us, or even if we manage to avert this disaster for now, our future journey will become extremely difficult without you. Why don’t you let Yang Yutian draw away the Life-devouring Beast king? After all, we’ve all witnessed his strength. I firmly believe that Yang Yutian can take on such a heavy burden,” Zhou Zhi said suddenly.

Jian Chen had humiliated him before, which made him resent Jian Chen. Now that such a great opportunity had presented itself, he would never simply let it slide. He wanted to screw over Jian Chen viciously.

“Zhou Zhi is right. Not only is Yang Yutian powerful, he’s skilled with the Laws of Space as well. He’s the most appropriate candidate for drawing away the Life-devouring Beast king. After all, who is better at fleeing than those with the Laws of Space?” Chu Jie did not forget to seal the deal as he sneered.

“Zhou Zhi, Chu Jie, you…” He Qianqian was furious. How could she not know that Chu Jie and Zhou Zhi were trying to push Yang Yutian to his death? This was not the outside world after all. Once people ran out of energy here, it would be far more difficult to replenish it than in the Saints’ World. With Yang Yutian’s mastery over the Laws of Space, even if he could escape from the late Godking Life-devouring Beast king, who could guarantee that he would not meet even more powerful Life-devouring Beasts?

To say the least, even if Yang Yutian managed to survive somehow, he would be completely lost in the Two World Mountains because he would have left the group. His final fate would be obvious.

Only the people from organisations who had participated in the construction of Hundred Saint City knew the way to the city. Moreover, it was forbidden to pass the secret technique that could detect the city’s location to others, nor was it possible to do so.

Yet, at a time like this, He Qianqian was unable to say anything to rebuke them, as she would be offending Jin Hong if she did.

Jian Chen remained composed. He glanced past Chu Jie and Zhou Zhi coldly. Even though he had wanted to take advantage of this situation to leave the group, Chu Jie and Zhou Zhi’s actions had roused his killing intent.

Afterwards, he flicked a finger, and a gust of wind slammed into the divine hall, sending it back into Jin Hong’s hand. Jian Chen said, “Young master Jin Hong, leave the Life-devouring Beast to me. I have grasped the Laws of Space, so I possess an absolute advantage in terms of speed. Drawing it away won’t be anything difficult.”

“Miss Qian, please keep this divine hall with you. Once I leave, it’s extremely likely for me to get lost here. As a result, I’ve left a sliver of the power of my soul in the divine hall. If I die, the fragment will disperse, but if I’m alive, I can locate you through the fragment, or even catch up to you.” As he said that, Jian Chen produced a supreme quality saint artifact divine hall and tossed it to He Qianqian.

Afterwards, he immediately abandoned the mid Godking Life-devouring Beast opponent and vanished with a flash, disappearing into the hazy mist.

“Yang Yutian, you must be careful. I’ll wait for your safe return.” Jin Hong glanced in Jian Chen’s direction with some mixed emotions before immediately unleashing his full strength and engaging the mid Godking Life-devouring Beast.

In the end, Jin Hong used the Blessing of the Wolf Exalt and slew all the Life-devouring Beasts there before immediately leading the group away from the area as quickly as possible. They did not even collect the valuable corpses.

In the end, they lost over a thousand sacrificial Godkings in the battle, and the prodigies all suffered injuries of various degrees.

“Hmph, Yang Yutian, I refuse to believe that you’ll survive this time. I refuse to believe that you can escape a Life-devouring Beast king in the Two World Mountains just by relying on your Laws of Space.” As the group left in a hurry, Chu Jie rejoiced secretly. Some of the humiliation he experienced dispersed.

He believed that Jian Chen was dead for sure now.

“Yang Yutian, I hope you return safely. I’ll definitely protect this divine hall so that you can find your way and catch up to us.” He Qianqian clutched Jian Chen’s divine hall firmly. She constantly sensed for the fragment of the power of Jian Chen’s soul in there as she secretly prayed.

He Qianqian obviously hoped that he could return safely given the great battle prowess he had displayed. At the very least, he was still a member of the Heavenly Crane clan. He could add to the might the Heavenly Crane clan possessed in the World of the Fallen Beast.

“Brother Yang Yutian, I hope that you survive…” Many other prodigies prayed for Jian Chen as well. They were not Jian Chen’s friends. Instead, they had been moved by Jian Chen’s sacrifice.

Elsewhere, Jian Chen was finally free from all the restrictions he had when he was in the group. He could finally unleash his full strength. He drew the Life-devouring Beast king far away, flying in the exact opposite direction from the group.

In the end, he stopped several thousand kilometres from the group and stood with his arms crossed, waiting.

A while later, a powerful gust of wind arrived. A huge, golden wolf appeared before Jian Chen as it fluttered its wings. The aura of a late Godking beast king flooded out into the surroundings, frightening a few Life-devouring Beasts in the surrounding hundred kilometres and forcing them onto the ground.

A late Godking Life-devouring Beast was already an unmatched ruler within the Two World Mountains. It possessed a degree of self-consciousness and could claim its own territory.

The wolf glanced at Jian Chen before immediately producing a howl as it charged towards him. At the same time, a mysterious devouring force enveloped Jian Chen.

Jian Chen remained calm against the Life-devouring Beast king that was enough to frighten all of the prodigies. Before Jian Chen, its terrifying ability to devour life force was a joke.

Jian Chen exhaled gently, and the breath of air he let out transformed into a streak of light in an instant. Radiating with powerful sword intent, it immediately shot forward and pierced through the Life-devouring Beast king.

Afterwards, the Life-devouring Beast king that had frightened so many prodigies was bisected mid-air. It was split in half, from its nose down its body.

Not only had the streak of light sliced its body, it had also destroyed its ability to heal.

After a single clash, the Life-devouring Beast king had died. All that was left was pure life force.
