Chu Tian, a hundred miles away, saw that streak of blood.
His heart trembled violently.
The power contained within it was filled with a terrifying aura of death.
"This aura, could it be...?"
He had felt it before on that god-tier monster, the Blood King.
However, it wasn't this potent!
Buzz...
Dong Dong swung her sword, her figure flickered, and she stopped her sword.
Yet, the blood sword buzzed, and a scarlet bloodline suddenly broke through the sword body, slashing towards Yin Rui!
The moment the bloodline attacked, Yin Rui felt a chill down his spine.
The scalp tingled, and an aura of certain death arose from his heart!
However, Yin Rui was, after all, a late-stage War God Realm powerhouse, having been in the late stage for several thousand years, a veteran supreme.
While greatly alarmed, he bit his tongue, and his body suddenly grew larger.
A giant bird, covered in golden plumage, appeared; he had transformed into his true form.
Roaring to the sky, golden energy blazed like flames, golden flames soaring. It slammed its claws down towards the sword light!
"Patriarch..."
Yin Yiran, who had been pushed a hundred miles away by Yin Rui, burst into tears.
Looking at the golden flames, the Patriarch was actually burning his demon core.
At the same time, Yin Rui opened his mouth, and a golden bone shot out.
Spraying towards this blood-colored sword, a golden light, swift as lightning and carrying immense power, flew out!
It was an ancestral artifact...
Chu Tian saw clearly that the golden bone was a bird's wing bone.
Chu Tian, who often ate chicken wings, recognized it immediately as the section of the wing bone!
The blood-colored sword light that Dong Dong had unleashed first collided head-on with the golden bone.
*Chish...*
With a slight sound, the sword light passed through the wing bone without obstruction.
A powerful ancestral artifact was thus split in two.
Then...
*Crackle...*
A sharp, piercing screech echoed. The incredibly powerful golden bird claws.
Were also torn apart by the blood-colored sword light, transforming into scattered golden light!
"Ah..."
Yin Rui screamed, his claws now missing.
At this moment, Yin Rui's face changed drastically, and his body was sent flying back hundreds of feet!
The flight speed their Golden Falcon tribe prided themselves on was nothing against this streak of bloodlight.
Finally, it staggered and stopped in the void. Yin Rui reverted to human form.
With his legs missing, a blood-red scar slowly appeared on his robes!
This sword had not only severed the ancestral artifact passed down for tens of thousands of years, split open his sharp claws beneath his true body, but even now...
His life force was rapidly draining.
"You... are..."
Yin Rui was utterly stunned.
That petite figure, and that sword strike just now...
A look of terror suddenly appeared on Yin Rui's face. He seemed to have recalled something terrifying!
Unfortunately, he could no longer finish his words.
His body split from the forehead downwards.
Two halves of his corpse, with a crash, transformed into their giant true forms and plummeted down, scattering golden blood.
"Run..."
Chu Tian saw Yin Rui die and Dong Dong's flame-wreathed eyes suddenly locked onto them.
He deeply regretted not listening to Mo Qilin earlier.
That fellow seemed to know something and ran faster than a rabbit.
"We can't run!" Old Yang's body jolted, and he drew out his Silver Dragon Spear.
Hao's body had already moved, his speed increasing to sonic speeds, sonic booms appearing. However...
His speed was still far too slow compared to Dong Dong's.
In an instant, she flashed before them.
Hao, who had just cast an acceleration skill, suddenly stopped.
If he didn't stop, he would crash directly into Dong Dong.
"You all deserve to die... You all deserve to die..."
Dong Dong muttered this sentence repeatedly.
Chu Tian, standing on the tiger's head, thought: There's no choice, I have to use a forbidden spell again!
Only, I don't know if I can withstand it!
"Die..."
Dong Dong raised the blood sword in her hand, extended it forward, pointing at Chu Tian and the others.
Instantly, Chu Tian and the others' hair stood on end.
Old Yang, holding his spear in one hand, formed a finger seal with the other.
Golden light flickered on his finger.
He was about to tap his dantian.
He couldn't afford to care about anything else now, preparing to unleash his sealed power.
Even if it drew the heavenly tribulation of the Saint Body Realm, he wouldn't hesitate.
In the heavenly tribulation, he would die alone.
If he didn't unseal, they would all perish.
"Wait..."
Suddenly, Chu Tian grabbed Old Yang's hand.
His fingertip was less than half an inch from his dantian.
At this very moment, the snow-white long sword in Dong Dong's hand slowly vanished.
The earth-shattering aura instantly disappeared completely.
Her body tilted, and she began to fall downwards.
"Hao..."
Without Chu Tian's command, Hao had already moved, diving down beneath Dong Dong.
Ding Ding caught her.
Chu Tian and Old Yang quickly walked over.
In Ding Ding's arms, Dong Dong's brow furrowed.
Although her eyes were closed, scarlet flames still seeped from the cracks.
"How is she?"
Chu Tian asked urgently.
Ding Ding shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
Chu Tian was anxious, but he couldn't scan her with his divine sense, as she was Wei Jin's wife.
"Chu Tian, run..."
Suddenly, Mo Qilin's voice arrived. Behind them, a group of Zhongdu military guards appeared.
Chu Tian frowned. What was going on? This little black fellow always shouted "run, run!"
"Chu Tian... run quickly..." Suddenly, Wei Jin's voice also arrived.
*Boom...*
A deafening roar echoed.
Chu Tian focused his gaze towards their direction.
This is...
Behind them, heaven and earth changed. Countless giant figures, treading through the void in the sky, were closely pursuing them.
It's them...
Those War God Realm powerhouses from the intelligence report...
At this moment, Mo Qilin had flown to Hao's side.
Chu Tian's gaze fixed on the supreme powerhouses rolling in from the distance.
With a wave of his hand, he swept Old Yang, Ding Ding, and the unconscious Dong Dong away.
They landed directly on Mo Qilin's back.
Wei Jin was stunned, caught Dong Dong, and gave Chu Tian a questioning look.
"Hao, come with me, stop them! Wei Jin... there are still ten brothers below who should not be dead yet!
Take them and leave...
Take a detour, and hide outside Hurricane City..."
As he spoke, Hao, without any hesitation, charged out in the opposite direction!
"Chu Tian..."
Ding Ding and Old Yang cried out simultaneously.
Wei Jin hesitated!
But he remembered Chu Tian's determined gaze as he passed him, and gritted his teeth!
He grabbed Old Yang, who was about to charge out, and knocked him unconscious.
After Old Yang sealed his power, he only had the cultivation of the Celestial Soul Realm.
Naturally, he was no match for Wei Jin.
"Zhongdu military guards... full speed... retreat!"
The twenty thousand or so people were stunned.
Chu Tian had passed through them.
They thought they would have to turn back and engage in battle, but they never expected the Commander to issue such an order.
Although they hesitated, soldiers obeyed orders as their duty.
Their highest leader was still the Commander.
Although, this new City Lord, in the past half-month.
Had commanded with great skill and deployed frequent surprise tactics, leading them to continuous victories.
But, after all, he was not their direct superior.
...
"Hao... are you scared?"
Chu Tian asked, standing on his head.
"Scared... of death." Who isn't scared?
Hao answered truthfully without hesitation.
"Haha... I am scared too! But behind us are over twenty thousand brothers!"
A resolute look appeared in Chu Tian's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Hao nodded, saying nothing.
His eyes displayed the same expression as Chu Tian.
