Chapter 726: Dull Chen He, God of Formations!
Chen He swept a glance over them indifferently.
With a bang.
An invisible force, like mountains and seas, pressed down, pinning Lu Jianxia's body firmly to the ground.
"Quick..."
Lu Jianxia used all her strength to speak, but her throat felt as if ten thousand sharp blades were cutting into it, making it difficult to utter the next word.
She stared fixedly at Chen He's back, endless despair emerging in her eyes.
Is this as far as I can go?
"Quick... quick..."
She roared with difficulty, but nothing could be changed.
"I am utterly disappointed in you."
Chen He spoke coldly and took a step forward.
With a boom.
The mountaintop suddenly shattered, and ten thousand rays of fire burst forth.
"Who is it?"
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Kill!!!"
Xia Long and the others, who were still discussing inside the cave, flew out like streaks of light, each erupting with blood energy and roaring aloud.
Lu Jianxia widened her eyes, staring, then closed them the next instant.
With a bang.
In Chen He's hand, there was already an extra person.
"Urgh..."
'Chen Yan' struggled continuously, but his neck was held in Chen He's hand.
"Truly as annoying as a bug!"
Chen He stared impatiently at the 'Chen Yan' in his hand.
"I do not know why the Master of Chen would be so cautious, why he would be so wary of a greenhorn like you?"
His expression grew colder and colder.
"Clearly, you are just a bug I could crush with one hand."
All around.
Everyone's expressions were stunned, terrified, fearful, and furious.
"Let him go!!!"
"Damn it!!!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill, ah, ah, ah!!!"
Roars, delivered with every ounce of strength, resounded through heaven and earth.
Xia Long and the others all charged at Chen He as if they had no regard for their lives.
Mad, they were all mad.
"No..."
Lu Jianxia spoke with difficulty and reached out a hand, but her body felt as if it were being pressed down by a mountain, and nothing could be changed.
It's over.
It's over.
It's over!
All around, figures shattered the void, and blood energy and physical force boiled like the sea.
Roar!
A phantom of a True Dragon darted out from the high heavens, countless laser beams tore through the sky, and from within each martial artist, a brilliance as dazzling as the stars erupted.
Mad.
All plans had vanished.
At this moment, the instant 'Chen Yan' was captured by Chen He, everyone fell into madness, rushing toward Chen He like moths to a flame.
A True Dragon coiled around Xia Long's body; he used his strongest power as if to burst his own body, and as he threw his punch, bloody gashes erupted on his flesh, blood sprayed wildly, and his body could not support this move.
Yet his eyes were filled with a determination to die, completely unconcerned.
Ke Qingxuan, with a cold face, turned into a streak of green light and attacked; her eyes trembled, for she did not want to see the scene that would follow.
Frenzy!
Eruption!
Chen He stood calmly, holding 'Chen Yan' in his hand, a trace of surprise appearing in his eyes.
"To be so loyal, but..."
He slowly raised his right hand and pressed it down slowly with one hand.
"Is it of any use?"
Boom!!!
Above the sky within a radius of ten miles, layers of black light suddenly exploded downward, and a terrifying gravitational force descended instantly.
Like the gravity of a billion mountains stacked together, it slammed onto everyone instantly.
Xia Long's fist was still a meter away from Chen He, but it was instantly suppressed by the infinite gravity, and with a loud crash, he was smashed into the ground.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
Layer upon layer of formidable enemies were suppressed by gravity, instantly sinking, sinking, continuously sinking, as circles of earth fissures burst open and swept outward continuously.
Ssh!
Streams of boiling magma erupted from the fissures, surging upward toward the vault of heaven.
Everyone was suppressed, their bodies unable to move in the slightest.
"A bunch of idiots."
Chen He spoke indifferently, lifting Chen Yan's neck high.
"No... don't..."
Atop the hilltop, Lu Jianxia's voice trembled, laced with sobs; she opened her mouth, wailing.
The disgust in Chen He's eyes grew ever more intense.
Crack!
Chen Yan's neck snapped instantly.
On the ground, everyone struggled to lift their heads, watching this scene.
Stunned.
Their pupils dilated wildly.
"This is... the Great Xia Heavenly God General?"
Chen He tossed Chen Yan's body away and pushed out with a palm, aiming at the flying body.
In an instant.
Between heaven and earth, it was as if two giant walls spanning the world collided, with Chen Yan's body caught in the middle.
There was not a shred of resistance.
Rumble!
Chen Yan's body exploded completely, turning into a mist of blood filling the sky.
Silence.
The world was completely silent.
Xia Long and the others looked up, a series of piercing hums nearly tearing their consciousness apart.
Lu Jianxia watched in a daze, her body completely stiff where she stood.
Ke Qingxuan's red lips parted, having lost all strength; she no longer had any desire to continue living.
Chen He pursed his lips, bathing in the blood rain falling from the Heavenly Sword, the boredom in his eyes growing ever more intense.
"As expected, is it only by killing Lu Xunyang that I can derive a shred of pleasure?"
He rubbed his brow and looked at the utterly silent crowd:
"You all know that killing a Great Xia Heavenly God General is a great merit, but I have to report for duty when I return; how am I supposed to report this?
To kill him so easily, I would be embarrassed to ask for any overly precious opportunities when I tell them.
If he had at least... struggled a bit, I could have described this battle as more exciting and difficult."
He was speechless.
Silence.
It remained silent.
Only the sound of the earth's tectonic plates shifting echoed through the heavens.
The previously furious Xia Long and the others no longer made a sound.
It was deathly quiet.
Chen Yan, who had led them to kill an Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast, had just died like this.
No matter how strong one's heart was, it was impossible to accept.
Chen He shook his head slightly; since that was the case, he would just kill everyone.
It was at this very moment.
Chen He narrowed his eyes, looking toward a certain direction.
Within the crevices of the shattered boulders, something seemed to be wriggling.
It was a golden-red phantom, bearing the appearance of Shen Yiwei.
At this moment, Shen Yiwei's Will God-Body was pulling a space formation disk overflowing with golden light from within a shattered rock wall.
That was the escape route Chen Yan had designed before leaving.
The reason he chose Shen Yiwei to impersonate Chen Yan was because Shen Yiwei possessed a Will God-Body and could die.
Thus, poor old Shen had been chosen by Chen Yan once again.
"Hm?"
Chen He squinted as he looked over, becoming interested in this strange God-Body:
"A Will God-Body?"
The next instant, his gaze narrowed, and he reached out toward Shen Yiwei's side.
It was at this very moment.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!!
Suddenly, dozens of blood-red meridians pierced through the earth's crust and attacked Chen He.
A terrifying suction force erupted from the tips of these meridians.
Ssh, ssh, ssh!!!
In an instant, the power within Chen He's body was drawn out.
Chen He was taken aback.
"God-tier... array...!"
This was absolutely a god-tier array.
Although it resembled flesh and blood meridians, it was clearly formed by extremely profound array patterns; this terrifying suction force actually caused his movements to slow by a beat.
This scene appeared suddenly.
Even Xia Long and the others had their expressions stiffen.
"Scram!"
Chen He's gaze turned sharp, and he struck out with a palm.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!
One by one, the meridians were struck by an invisible force and instantly shattered.
And at this very moment.
Hum!!!
Circles of golden talisman light suddenly erupted from the earth, spreading continuously and appearing beneath Xia Long, Lu Jianxia, and everyone else.
Blinding golden light shot into the clouds, and countless spatial ripples spread out.
Xia Long and the others felt the scorching temperature produced by the talisman light beneath them in a daze, and endless spatial fluctuations instantly enveloped them.
In an instant, everyone was teleported away.
Someone was overcome with grief.
"Chen Yan considered us, but didn't consider himself!!!"
"Heavenly God General..."
They were filled with immense grief, naturally assuming that this was an escape method Chen Yan had prepared for them from the very beginning.
Yet Chen Yan had not considered himself.
Above the void.
Chen He narrowed his eyes.
"Escaping?"
"And where can you escape to?"
Although he had already killed Chen Yan, if he could also easily wipe out the Creation Realm experts of the Great Xia, why not do it?
Talisman light swirled within his eyes, and in an instant, he locked onto the location of Lu Jianxia and the others.
The next instant, he took a step forward.
Beneath his feet, a spatial array disk emerged, and as he took the next step, he had already appeared a hundred miles away.
As long as he could lock onto them, he would not let Xia Long and the others escape.
Hum, hum, hum!!!
Chen He's figure flickered continuously, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Xia Long and the others did not just have one spatial array disk.
Instead, after escaping with one spatial array disk, another spatial array disk had already been placed at the location they were teleported to, waiting for them.
This was a pre-designed escape route.
It was just that, this direction...
Chen He narrowed his eyes, traversing the void in an instant, until at one moment he saw the figures of a group of people.
That group of people was standing in a daze high above the sky.
And at their very center was a magnificent throne condensed from pitch-black thunder.
A youth wearing ink-colored robes was leaning against the throne, examining him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Chen He narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly, his long, narrow eyes squeezed into two eerie slits.
"Chen He."
On the throne, the youth smiled:
"I originally intended to come find you directly, but I didn't expect you wouldn't give me the chance to pay a visit, so I had no choice but to..."
As the youth spoke, a massive head slowly floated before him.
It was a face of peerless beauty; the black cloth on the face had long since been removed, and the beautiful eyes were trembling, brewing with infinite terror, as if they had seen something most horrifying.
Chen He's body trembled slightly.
Lu Zhiwei.
How did Lu Zhiwei end up like this?
Chen Yan didn't die?
Then who was it that he killed just now?
Were all his own actions within Chen Yan's expectations?
Chen He's expression grew colder and more terrifying.
Yet he saw the youth smile:
"So I had no choice but to clear away some small fry first, to specifically entertain you alone."
Chen He nodded:
"Is that so?"
He took a step forward with a disdainful smile:
"That is somewhat interesting, but can you... actually defeat me?"
"Of course not," Chen Yan smiled.
"Heh." The look in Chen He's eyes grew increasingly cold and sinister.
BOOM!!!
An endlessly terrifying pressure instantly radiated out with him as the center, and he rolled up his sleeves.
"Then today, I shall purge the sect."
BOOM!
As the words fell, he attacked instantly.
Fast!
Faster than a streak of light, as if carrying the gravity of an entire world; wherever he passed, the layered clouds were pushed aside, and the earth was heaved up.
At the same time.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!
In the distant heavens and earth.
Laser turrets appeared one after another; Chen Yu, enveloped by array patterns, pointed a finger down, and all the turrets opened fire.
Streaks of light tore through the horizon, attacking instantly.
Chen He waved a single hand, and a terrifying force vibrated downward, sweeping away all the laser beams, causing the sky to explode.
"Such petty tricks, how can they stop me?!"
He spoke coldly and stepped out once more.
The next instant.
Rumble!!!
The earth below suddenly surged like seawater, rising straight up and transforming into giant walls spanning the heavens and earth, smashing toward Chen He.
SCREECH!!!
Countless crazed mutterings nearly shattered Chen He's consciousness.
Chen He's body paused.
The next instant.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
Giant walls smashed into Chen He's body, causing the heavens and earth to collapse, countless clods of earth exploded into fragments, and the world turned a dim yellow.
Chen He flew out covered in dust and dirt, looking extremely disheveled, but his gaze was terrifying to the extreme as he roared:
"Shi Meng Mo!!!"
He was extremely gloomy; besides the Shi Meng Mo, who else could attack him like this?
Why would the Shi Meng Mo attack him?
He looked coldly toward the youth upon the throne.
"You are too strong." Chen Yan raised his head:
"So, it is acceptable for us to kill you together, right?"
Chen Yan's eyes erupted with golden light:
"If this is not enough, then Lu Xunyang will also come over in a moment; if even Lu Xunyang cannot suppress and kill you, the Master of True Intent will take action."
As Chen Yan's voice fell, Chen He's brain felt a wave of dizziness.
How could Lu Xunyang arrive?
Lu Xunyang was still in a great battle with the Shi Meng Mo.
But Chen Yan had already joined forces with the Shi Meng Mo; it did not seem impossible for Lu Xunyang to be able to enter.
He gritted his teeth, his teeth making a 'clacking' sound.
But the next instant, he was suddenly stunned.
Master of True Intent?
What is the Master of True Intent?
He was dumbfounded and looked behind Chen Yan.
There, a phantom figure dressed in green robes was indeed standing, with an upright appearance, carrying a trace of indescribable divinity and power.
It really was the Master of True Intent!
Chen He's eyes widened, and his brain buzzed.
How could the Master of True Intent be here?
This damn thing is a Master of Martial Dao.
What is going on?
Such a massive formation, just to deal with him, Chen He, alone?
Such a formation was definitely not set up on the fly.
Someone must have planned it from the very beginning.
Who schemed against him?
Sect Master Chen?
It could only be Sect Master Chen.
Because it was Sect Master Chen who called him here.
Chen He felt like vomiting blood.
What exactly did he do wrong?
Yet, at this very moment.
Taking advantage of his existential doubt, the earth broke open, and roots of blood-red meridians instantly shot out, piercing into his body.
The youth upon the throne took a single step forward, and behind him emerged a bizarre and powerful array disk.
At the center of that array disk, an eye that seemed to be gazing upon the square world overflowed with divine radiance.
Lu Jianxia stood frozen in place.
Even Xia Long, Shen Yiwei, and the others felt their scalps go numb, staring in astonishment at Chen Yan in this moment.
This was a method Chen Yan had never displayed before.
This is...
In the distance.
Chen He's breath hitched, and the next moment, he roared at Chen Yan:
"Divine Venerable of Arrays!!!"
