A Narrow Escape from Disaster
Shocked, the many Cultivators immediately began to discuss among themselves:
What's going on?
"Chen Changqing actually... withstood the Old Ancestor Blood River's sneak attack?"
"That was an attack from the Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert!"
"He's only at the Spirit Transformation Early Stage realm, how did he manage to block it?"
"Isn't this Old Ancestor Blood River Taiyin? A Tribulation Transcendence Cultivator actually went to ambush a Spirit Transformation junior?"
"How shameless!"
"..."
Many Cultivators shook their heads and sighed, and many scoffed at the actions of the Old Ancestor Blood River.
Not far away, Si Youyou saw this and was completely dumbfounded.
The Old Ancestor Blood River's speed was simply too fast; she didn't even have time to react before she could crush the Jade Pendant.
What surprised Si Youyou even more was...
Chen Changqing actually withstood an attack from the Old Ancestor Blood River!
Just as everyone was in shock, a hint of lingering fear flashed in Chen Changqing's eyes.
"Hateful!!"
"That Old Ancestor Blood River is truly... despicable!"
"You ambushed me when I wasn't paying attention!"
Chen Changqing muttered to himself, then glanced down at the Heaven-Stepping Ring on his finger.
"I never imagined that the Heaven-Stepping Ring would have such effects."
"It actually unleashed a defensive light at the critical moment when I was facing death."
"If it weren't for the Heaven-Stepping Ring, I'm afraid... I would already be dead at the hands of this old schemer!!"
Chen Changqing had already studied the Immortal Artifact carefully after acquiring Heaven-Stepping Ring.
Besides storage, the defensive shield can be activated once a year.
But now, he has discovered...
My Heaven-Stepping Ring actually has the ability to automatically protect its owner in times of crisis.
Meanwhile, Hua Xing, who was fighting Long Ao and Bai Suxin in the void, was furious when he saw that the Old Ancestor Blood River had actually ambushed Chen Changqing!
"Old man Blood River!"
"Once I've dealt with those two, I will surely kill you today!"
Hua Xing shouted angrily, and with the Medicine God Ruler in his hand, he suddenly swung it horizontally.
The terrifying force, like an inverted Milky Way, sent Long Ao and Bai Suxin flying backward.
But then, Long Ao and Bai Suxin attacked again.
"Blood River!"
"Kill that brat right now!!"
Bai Suxin shouted angrily. With her and Long Ao holding Hua Xing back, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for the Old Ancestor Blood River, with his Tribulation Transcendence Realm, to kill a Nascent Spirit Transformation?
Although it is unknown what method Chen Changqing used to block the fatal blow from the Old Ancestor Blood River.
However, with Chen Changqing Spirit Transformation cultivation level, he would certainly not be able to use such methods more than a few times.
Seeing Bai Suxin and Long Ao launching another attack, Hua Xing was unable to spare any attention for Chen Changqing and became extremely anxious.
"Changqing!"
"Now it's up to you!"
Thinking it over, Hua Xing quickly came back to his senses and continued fighting with Bai Suxin and Long Ao.
At the same time, the Old Ancestor Blood River below quickly recovered from his shock after hearing Bai Suxin's shout.
He didn't rush to make another move. Instead, he glanced at Zhu Xiao and Hua Qianmei standing to the side and said:
"You two."
"This Chen Changqing has also killed many of your disciples."
"Hurry up and kill this brat!"
Upon hearing what the Old Ancestor Blood River said, a strange light flashed in Zhu Xiao and Hua Qianmei's eyes.
After a slight pause, Zhu Xiao spoke:
"Old Ancestor Blood River, your intervention is sufficient."
"If the three of us who have just completed our Tribulation Transcendence were to fight against a Nascent Spirit Transformation, wouldn't we become a laughingstock if word got out?"
At the same time, Hua Qianmei of the Flower-Shifting Palace also said:
"That's right."
"Killing a mere Spirit Transformation Early Stage isn't enough to warrant our combined efforts, is it?"
"I'll have to trouble you Old Ancestor Blood River."
Although both of them harbored murderous intent towards Chen Changqing.
However, if they were to join forces to deal with Chen Changqing, they would inevitably be accused of abusing their power.
After all, Chen Changqing was only at the Spirit Transformation Early Stage. Wouldn't it be criticized for the three of them, who were at the Tribulation Transcendence, to join forces to kill him?
Besides, many Spirit Transformation Cultivators from the Yinyue Holy Dynasty and the Flower-Shifting Palace died at the hands of Chen Changqing.
But these people have little to do with Zhu Xiao and Hua Qianmei.
As for Chen Changqing, he is an unparalleled genius from the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, and is certainly highly valued by Mount Shu.
If they were to kill them, they would inevitably face retribution from the Mount Shu sect.
That's why Zhu Xiao and Hua Qianmei actually hoped that the Old Ancestor Blood River would kill Chen Changqing!
In this way, they wouldn't take any risks, and they could still give an account to their respective sects after returning.
"Snort!!"
Upon hearing what Zhu Xiao and Hua Qianmei said, the Old Ancestor Blood River couldn't help but snort coldly, knowing full well what the two were planning.
Although he knew this, the Old Ancestor Blood River didn't point it out.
It's different here; Chen Changqing killed his own son!
After a slight pause, a fierce glint flashed in the Old Ancestor Blood River's eyes as he stared intently at Chen Changqing and said:
"You little bastard! I don't believe you can withstand my second attack!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Ancestor Blood River casually waved his hand.
Immediately afterwards, a Blood-Colored Long Blade appeared in his hand.
The Blood Blade exuded a chilling aura, clearly indicating that it was a Quasi-Immortal Artifact.
Seeing this, Si Youyou quickly looked at Gu Qing beside her:
"Elder..."
She muttered something to herself.
"Um?"
Gu Qing was slightly surprised upon hearing this. Although Si Youyou did not say it explicitly, Gu Qing could tell that Si Youyou wanted her to help Chen Changqing.
"Youyou, don't act impulsively!"
"It's best for our Heavenly Demon Sect not to interfere in today's affairs."
Upon hearing Gu Qing's reply, a hint of disappointment flashed in Si Youyou's eyes, but she quickly made up her mind.
If the Old Ancestor Blood River insisted on attacking Chen Changqing, then she would have no choice but to crush the Jade Pendant in her hand.
With this thought in mind, Si Youyou tightened her grip on the Jade Pendant, ready to act at any moment.
At the same time, seeing that the Old Ancestor Blood River had taken a stance and seemed about to attack him again, Chen Changqing had a thought and directly retrieved the Thunder Flame Sword and the Heavenly Strike Sword.
He planned to combine the two swords into the Heavenly Thunder Sword, Immortal Artifact, to deliver a surprise attack to the Old Ancestor Blood River.
Perhaps this will produce surprising results.
"Chen Changqing, prepare to die!"
After a brief silence, the Old Ancestor Blood River roared, preparing to strike again.
But then, something unexpected happened.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, an immense and terrifying aura descended from the void, instantly enveloping this entire area!
This imposing aura was like an ancient, slumbering mountain suddenly awakening.
With just a ripple of energy, this entire world seemed to freeze.
Upon sensing this aura, whether it was the Old Ancestor Blood River was about to make a move, or the three True Lord Hua Xing, Long Ao, and Bai Suxin who were engaged in fierce battle, or the many powerful figures present, they all knew it.
Everyone felt a jolt of fear at that moment.
