Chapter 1481 Emerging from Seclusion
Chapter 1481 Emerging from Seclusion
Outside the celestial palace.
The three city lords are taking advantage of the brief respite to fully recover.
Although the pursuers did not use their full strength, the three of them inevitably weakened considerably due to such intense exertion.
Master Nandong looked around and said, "What should I do? My Yuan energy is too depleted. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on this time."
Master Fuguang took out some pills and had them take: "Don't panic. When the forbidden talisman disappears, we can use our immortal treasures to block it. As long as we have a moment, we can escape the attack range."
Su Qian shook her head: "We can't block it head-on. There are too many spells. Even if we manage to block them, we'll be seriously injured, and then we'll just be dragged down to death by them."
Master Fuguang looked at the distorting pillar of light behind him and said, "If Fellow Daoist Jiang were here, all these people would die if he used a single supernatural technique."
Nan Dong growled impatiently, "But he's not here!"
If it weren't for the need to cover for Jiang Han, who was in seclusion, they would have fled far away long ago, instead of leading those people in circles.
"Stop arguing, there's no time left."
Su Qian looked at the disappearing forbidden talisman above and said, "Let's prepare to escape. As long as we can break into the crowd, we still have a chance to survive."
The moment she finished speaking, the three of them vanished in a flash, and the forbidden talisman above them also completely disappeared.
The three of them suddenly focused their gazes, and the immortal treasures within their bodies immediately spun out, transforming into three layers of shields that enveloped them, allowing them to rush into the crowd at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, flashes of spiritual light appeared all around, as if countless stars were rising from the ground.
The beams of light, which appeared to be ten miles away at first glance, turned into shooting stars in the blink of an eye and crashed heavily onto the shield with long trails of light before exploding with a deafening roar.
Countless magical artifacts and spells burst forth from all directions—before, behind, left, right, above, and even beneath—covering an area spanning dozens of miles.
With nowhere to hide, the three could only run forward, enduring the spells.
Fortunately, they were extremely fast and rushed into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
But Qian Chen had anticipated this, and he didn't care about the lives of those people at all. Amidst the shouts of cursing, he continued to bombard the crowd relentlessly.
Others didn't care at all, and even hoped to reduce the number of competitors, so they put in even more effort when they made their moves.
In an instant, the cultivators there went crazy and defended with all their might, but they were not the city lords and could not withstand such a fierce attack. In a short while, hundreds of people died under this wave of magical attacks.
Even Su Qian and the other two had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, and the immortal treasure barrier was blasted open with cracks.
Although these injuries will heal quickly, their internal energy is greatly depleted, and a second wave of attacks is coming soon. They will not even have a chance to fight back, and can only keep charging into the crowd, using the enemy's magic to kill them.
As wave after wave of spells bombarded them, the ocean whale and the harp fairy collapsed one after another, leaving only a layer of forest barrier remaining, barely holding on.
Those who pursued them suffered even greater losses. In a short period of time, thousands of people died from the spells and the attacks of the three. Blood mist filled the sky, limbs flew everywhere, and countless primordial spirits left their bodies to protect their magical treasures and stay far away, fearing that they would be stolen.
The person who was originally attacking his companion from afar was killed by the magic of his other companions in the next moment.
Chaos erupted as everyone chased after the three while also guarding against magical attacks from their own companions.
As a result, the pressure on Su Qian and the other two was greatly reduced, but after such a high-intensity attack, the Yuan energy in their bodies was still insufficient to be replenished and was almost exhausted.
Seeing the three slow down, Qian Chen shouted with joy, "Quick! They can't hold on any longer! Increase the attack! The Immortal Emperor's inheritance is right before our eyes!"
Upon hearing this, the others fought even harder, unleashing spells with even greater power.
"I can't hold on any longer."
Su Qian's heart sank. She took a deep breath, held a golden talisman in her palm, and said in a cold voice:
"There's no other way, let's fight with all our might. I'll block the spell attacks while you guys attack and find a chance to kill them all."
She was going to hold off all the attacks by herself, creating an opportunity for the other two to make their move.
Nan Dong and Fu Guang didn't speak, they just nodded silently.
Although this would severely injure or kill Su Qian, there was really no other way at the moment.
The next moment, countless magical artifacts bombarded down. Although the number of attackers was small this time, their power was not diminished but increased. When they landed, they even caused the void to tremble, and spatial ripples appeared.
The three below watched the sky filled with spiritual light with solemn expressions. Each of them activated their immortal treasures, and their primordial spirits shone from between their eyebrows, ready to fight to the death.
Su Qian took a deep breath and placed the golden talisman in front of her: "Let's fight to the death, everyone. Whether we live or die depends on this."
As soon as she finished speaking, she squeezed the golden talisman tightly with two fingers. The golden talisman shone brightly and transformed into an extremely complex rune that flew into the sky.
At the same time, Nan Dong and Fu Guang also used their secret techniques to fully digest the pills in their bodies. Once the golden talisman was fully activated, they could take advantage of the talisman's cover to rush into the crowd and wreak havoc.
But at that moment, a look of surprise flashed across Su Qian's face, and she suddenly turned her head to look behind her.
Ever since leaving the Celestial Palace, she had been keeping an eye on the seven-colored pillar of light that represented inheritance, but just a moment ago, the pillar of light suddenly disappeared without warning.
Instead, a very familiar yet even more powerful aura surged up from beneath the pillar of light.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang has emerged from seclusion..."
Su Qian murmured, her eyes suddenly flashing with joy, and then exclaimed, "No need to fight desperately anymore, just focus on defense, Fellow Daoist Jiang has emerged from seclusion!"
"what?"
Fu Guang and Nan Dong were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. But as soon as they activated their immortal treasure barrier, they discovered a violent sword intent that suddenly erupted from within the immortal palace, like a plume of black smoke soaring into the sky!
The sword intent was very familiar, but it was even stronger than before. The moment they sensed it, the world in front of them suddenly darkened.
The three looked up and saw a figure appear out of thin air in front of them. The slender figure was like a black hole, blocking out all the magical light shining from the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang..."
Master Nandong called out in disbelief, only to see the young man raise his head and look at the magical meteor that occupied the entire sky.
Bathed in countless beams of magical light, Jiang Han slowly drew his sword from its sheath and said softly:
"it's me."
He stood alone with his sword, blocking the three city lords and facing the falling magical meteors.
