This sudden turn of events startled Jian Ming and the others. But when they came to their senses, they saw that the rain of swords was exploding rapidly beyond Jian Ming's control.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
In just a few breaths, the hundreds of swords that had been so imposing and determined to kill Xiao Yan just moments before vanished like balloons bursting in the air, turning into countless specks of energy that then slowly dissipated into the world.
Such an astonishing scene sent a chill down the spines of everyone present. It was unimaginable that once again, the sword blade condensed by Dou Di expert had been shattered. Moreover, this scene was undoubtedly even more shocking than the one Xiao Yan had previously shattered with all his might.
For a moment, the crowd outside couldn't help but whisper among themselves again, making the atmosphere inside the arena gradually become somewhat heavy.
Compared to the shocked crowd on the outside, Jian Ming, the master of those sword blades, had an extremely solemn expression on his Elder Zhang face. Needless to say, the strength of the person who made the move was probably at least at the Dou Di level. Moreover, based on Jian Ming's guess, this person's level was probably no weaker than any of the four of them at the moment.
"Damn it, who is this person? When did the Western Region gain a Dou Di expert whose strength rivals ours? Could it be... that this guy is from the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion?!"
Instantly, not only Jian Ming, but also Wu Jitian and the others behind him also scanned the surrounding world with solemn expressions, as if trying to find the person who made the move.
At this moment, Chen Zhen was greatly alarmed. This person was able to escape detection even under the powerful Spiritual Strength of a Fifth-Tier Formation Master like himself. His strength was probably beyond their reach. If he hadn't intervened to save Xiao Yan and had instead come directly at him, Chen Zhen would probably be seriously injured by now!
Thinking of this, Chen Yin felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
At the same time, Chen Zhen's fingers, which resembled ancient tree roots beneath his sleeves, curled slightly, his palms condensing Dou Qi. He subtly stepped back a few paces, moving closer to the formation behind him.
He was prepared that if the other party was indeed a powerful figure from the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, then no matter what, even if he didn't kill Xiao Yan today, he would have to control Luo Jin first. Only by controlling him could he have a way to survive.
After all, if the other party was also a Dou Di expert, and Luo Jin was forcibly taken away by him, then he would be in real trouble.
"May I ask who you are? If possible, I would like to request that you show yourself."
At this moment, Wu Jitian, whose temper was the most fiery, was the most direct. He shook his body, stood firmly on the ground, stood tall and straight, clasped his hands together and bowed towards the empty sky, and slowly spoke in a rough voice.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Since Wu Jitian is treating him with courtesy, the unknown expert will likely stop being so arrogant.
but...
The result was not what Wu Jitian had expected. On the contrary, it made him change color even more.
"I'm giving you two choices. First, leave these three people behind and turn around and leave immediately. I can pretend nothing happened. Second, the three of them will stay anyway, and the four of you will also be stuck here forever."
The aged voice sounded extremely calm, yet within that calmness lay an unparalleled domineering authority, under which no one was allowed to resist.
"Hmph! A cowardly rat hiding his head and tail, yet he dares to speak so arrogantly! Today, I, the Emperor, will see where you get the courage to utter such words!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jitian was instantly enraged. His tiger-like body trembled, and his two large hands suddenly clenched into fists. His aura surged violently, and his Dou Qi rapidly poured out of his body. At this moment, the shoulder armor on his left chest seemed to come alive and begin to writhe.
However, just as Wu Jitian was about to unleash his full power, a loud bang, like a muffled thunderclap, suddenly came from the sky.
"Bang!"
In the blink of an eye, almost simultaneously, when everyone in Lengcui City heard that sound, they saw Wu Jitian's massive figure, as strong as a wild bear, being blasted away by an invisible force without warning.
"Pfft!"
When Wu Jitian's body crashed to the ground, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His originally rosy complexion quickly turned pale, and his aura weakened considerably at that moment.
"This is the first time, and I hope it's the last. I've given you a chance, now get out!"
As everyone came to their senses, the faint, aged voice once again echoed in the sky above Lengcui City, lingering for a long time.
Only at this moment did Chen Zhen, Jian Ming, Ye Luotian, who had just been blasted away by a single blow, fully awaken from their Wu Jitian. Even these four Dou Di powerhouses, who held supreme positions in the Western Region, were filled with endless fear.
They were certain that this mysterious powerhouse's strength had already surpassed the level of Dou Di, and at the very least, he was a Origin Transformation Realm expert!
Upon realizing this, Chen Zhen and the other three couldn't help but tremble violently, their shock beyond words.
Origin Transformation Realm...
A powerhouse of this caliber is a formidable figure with immense status even across the entire Origin Martial Continent!
This can be seen simply from the Venerable Heavenly Severing.
"Uh... Senior... we... we didn't mean to offend you, it's just... we were a little anxious just now, so we offended you, please don't take it to heart..."
Wu Jitian struggled to his feet with a look of terror on his face. Although the power within him wasn't particularly strong, that attack had severely injured his physical body, and he feared it would be difficult for him to recover for a long time to come.
"Hmph, since that's the case, then you'd better get out of here!"
An old, low shout suddenly rang out, shaking Wu Jitian and the others to their core like a thunderclap, not to mention the ordinary cultivators standing outside the arena.
Upon hearing this, the four exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment. Chen Zhen glanced discreetly behind him. Zhang Yi was focused on protecting Luo Jin. Although he knew someone was coming to his rescue, he made no move. No matter what, Luo Jin's safety had to be his top priority.
Seeing Zhang Yi guarding Luo Jin, Chen Zhen frowned inwardly. In this way, it would be impossible to capture Luo Jin immediately. And if he made a move, that mysterious expert would probably keep him here forever, just as he said.
But if we don't act now, once the forces behind the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion find out about this after today, they probably won't let it go either!
"Hmph! Forget your ideas and get out! Otherwise, I'll take you in right now!"
A sound like thunder entered Chen Zhen's ears, causing his body to tremble violently. When he regained his senses, he hurriedly cupped his hands in front of the sky and cried out in a trembling voice:
"Please forgive me, senior. I'll leave right now, I'll leave right now, I'll leave right now..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhen hurriedly turned around and flew away at top speed as if fleeing for his life Lengcui City. Afterwards, Wu Jitian and the others bowed to the sky and said goodbye, and then quickly flew away in four different directions.
