Chapter 128 - 116: The Human World in a 3-Inch Palm

Deep within a dense forest.

THUD THUD THUD!

Yan Chiyang fled in a desperate scramble.

He clutched a little girl of three or four in his arms, her features as delicate as a porcelain doll’s.

The little girl didn’t cry or fuss. Seeing the sweat beading on Yan Chiyang’s forehead, she thoughtfully used her sleeve to wipe it away.

"Be good, Nannan. You’ll be safe soon."

Yan Chiyang looked at the little girl, forcing a smile onto his heavily bearded face.

The little girl asked, "Daddy, where are we going?"

The image of a handsome Daoist’s figure appeared in Yan Chiyang’s mind as he replied:

"To see an old friend. In this whole world, I’m afraid he’s the only one who will take you in."

The moment he finished speaking, his expression changed abruptly.

A violent pressure suddenly swept over them!

BOOM!

The next moment, a gleaming giant hammer swelled in the air until it was the size of a small mountain, then smashed down heavily in front of Yan Chiyang, blocking his path.

Amidst the billowing dust and smoke.

Three figures suddenly emerged from behind the giant hammer.

Two men and a woman, all dressed in long black robes.

The robes were exquisitely crafted, embroidered with the sun and moon sharing the sky on the front, and splendid rivers and mountains on the back.

Together, these symbols represented the name "Haotian."

Such magnificent robes, in the entire world, could only be worn by the Haotian Guard of the Great Hao Divine Dynasty!

The Haotian Guard, along with the Great Hao Divine Dynasty’s Celestial Patrol Army and Observatory, were collectively known as the Three Swords of the Divine Dynasty.

These three great organizations served only the Great Hao Divine Emperor!

Their leaders were Dao Realm experts, powerful enough to dominate the world!

The Haotian Guard, in particular, were responsible for overseeing the various Daoist Sects, purging rebels, and slaying demons and devils.

Of course, for the past several hundred years, the Haotian Guard’s primary duty had been to purge the Quanxing Demon People hiding throughout the lands and to uncover the identity of the Dao Realm Sect Leader behind the Quanxing Sect!

After a century of investigation and pursuit.

They had finally found a clue leading to Yan Chiyang and initiated his capture!

"Yan Chiyang, you were once an official in the Great Hao Divine Dynasty, and a Triple-First Scholar at that! Your future was infinite. To think you would collude with the Quanxing Demon People, murder a City God, and throw the realm into chaos... You truly deserve to die ten thousand deaths!"

"Hmph. His Majesty the Divine Emperor despises two-faced traitors the most. We won’t let you die so easily. We will suppress your Yin Spirit and ensure you never reincarnate for all eternity."

"Enough chatter. Let’s just capture him and perform a Soul Search. His Majesty the Divine Emperor has always been curious about the identity of this Quanxing Sect Leader. If we can torture the Quanxing Sect Leader’s whereabouts out of him, it’ll be a great merit for us!"

The three Haotian Guard members stared at Yan Chiyang, their eyes burning with intensity.

According to their intelligence, this Yan Chiyang held a high position within the Quanxing Sect and had organized many operations to assassinate City Gods.

The number of City Gods who had died at his hands was well over a hundred.

He must have met that mysterious and unfathomable Quanxing Sect Leader.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!

In an instant, the three Haotian Guards flickered, surrounding Yan Chiyang completely.

All three of them were Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivators.

However, they didn’t dare to be careless, as Yan Chiyang had already passed his first Celestial Tribulation.

If he fought with his life on the line, there was a chance they could be severely injured by the traitor, which wouldn’t be worth the risk.

Yan Chiyang looked at the Haotian Guard surrounding him, then glanced at the little girl in his arms and said:

"Nannan, close your eyes. Don’t be afraid."

The little girl obediently closed her eyes and nodded. "Daddy, you be careful."

"Don’t worry. You go on ahead. Daddy will come find you soon," Yan Chiyang said with a small smile.

One of the Haotian Guards sneered, "Trying to escape? Neither of you is going anywhere!"

She flicked her hand, and the giant hammer on the ground shot into the air, smashing down toward Yan Chiyang!

RUMBLE!

The giant hammer radiated immense power, descending like a falling star and causing the air to crack with sonic booms.

Before it even landed, the ground for several miles around sank several dozen feet with a roar!

Yan Chiyang’s Magical Power surged. Protecting the little girl, he unleashed a mountain-like Dharma Seal from his body to meet the giant hammer!

BOOM!

A thunderous crash exploded, its Celestial Sound reverberating!

The resulting sound waves created one massive ripple after another!

The ancient trees all around were instantly uprooted and turned to dust.

The billowing dust and smoke formed into tornadoes that soared into the sky!

However, at that very moment, the expressions on the three Haotian Guards’ faces changed drastically. One shouted sharply:

"Stop him!"

"Trying to run? In your dreams!"

"Impermanence Thought Method - Killing Technique!"

In an instant, the three Haotian Guards formed hand seals simultaneously and launched a fierce attack at Yan Chiyang and the little girl.

One of them formed a Fist Seal, which shot across the sky and multiplied into hundreds, even thousands, of copies, sealing off every direction.

The woman summoned a chain. One end was connected to the giant hammer, and it lunged like a great python, coiling toward the little girl.

The last one slashed at Yan Chiyang with a blade. The crisscrossing blade energy was glacial, seemingly intent on exterminating all life, and tore through the sky with a thick, bloody stench!

However, at that exact moment, a brilliant golden light flared up from the little girl’s body, emitting surging waves of Magical Power.

All of the attacks that landed on the golden light were completely blocked.

The next moment, the soil around the little girl rapidly softened. She seemed to sink into the earth and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Yan Chiyang glanced in the direction where the girl had disappeared, a gratified smile spreading across his face.

The Magical Power around his body pulsed as he threw himself toward the incoming blade energy!

BANG!

He was thrown backward, a hideous gash carved into him. Blood gushed from the wound as he crashed through a row of ancient trees.
