Chapter 1730
The God Clan's most pride-worthy bloodline divine ability was easily broken by Ye Zhangqing.
Seeing Qing Shen Ji, who without hesitation chose to retreat at the first moment and quickly pulled away, Ye Zhangqing's expression didn't change.
Meanwhile, Qing Shen Ji hadn't even caught her breath when she saw blade lights filling the sky, sweeping toward her.
For a moment she only felt her scalp go numb; she had already been careful enough, yet Ye Zhangqing's attack remained just as sharp.
She didn't dare hesitate, immediately mobilizing all her spiritual power, exerting herself to the utmost, even using her secret technique, and instantly condensed a golden divine shadow before her.
The blade lights kept striking the golden divine shadow; that terrifying aftermath made even Tian Xing not far away look on with shock.
Originally, acting together with the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor, the God Clan and Heavenly Clan just wanted to take advantage without being bastards.
If they could take advantage, they would take advantage.
Moreover, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's offered price this time was extremely high, high enough to make even the God Clan Old Ancestor and the Heavenly Clan Old Ancestor feel tempted.
They were even willing to take out the clan's source of fortune; this is absolutely something only a madman would do.
However, the old ancestors of both clans could also understand the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's choice; this was being forced into a desperate situation, otherwise the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor wouldn't have made such a crazy decision.
Rather than eventually being replaced by the Dao Yi Shengdi and ending up with no place to bury their dead, it would be better to go all out.
As long as Ye Zhangqing is gone, would Yongye and the Nether Clan still die defending the Dao Yi Shengdi?
To pay such a price just to slay a junior with Great Emperor cultivation, Ye Zhangqing could be considered the first to pioneer heaven and earth.
Precisely because Ye Zhangqing is merely a junior with Great Emperor cultivation, the God Clan Old Ancestor and Heavenly Clan Old Ancestor, including Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing, didn't think much and directly agreed.
Anyway, if they fail there's nothing to lose; at worst they'll just withdraw.
All they didn't expect was that Ye Zhangqing's combat power could be this strong.
Although they joined forces, from the start it seemed as if Ye Zhangqing had suppressed them.
Even fighting two against one, they gained no advantage at all, leaving the two utterly shocked.
This was also the first time they had been suppressed like this by a peer, and moreover they were of the type that had no temper at all.
Ye Zhangqing's displayed strength and talent seemed to already overwhelm these top prodigies of theirs.
Such a monster—does it really exist in this world?
With great difficulty, she exhausted all her means to block Ye Zhangqing's attack, while Tian Xing then joined in, helping Qing Shen Ji share some of the pressure.
But now is not the time to relax, for Ye Zhangqing has already appeared before the two.
At the sight of Ye Zhangqing, Qing Shen Ji without hesitation crushed the prepared Lock Heaven Grand Formation.
This Lock Heaven Grand Formation was originally intended to deal with Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin.
It made them wary, so they dared not interfere in Ye Zhangqing's affairs.
They had thought that after deterring Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin, the Lock Heaven Grand Formation wouldn't be needed, but they never expected to still have to use it.
But it wasn't used on Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin; instead it was used on Ye Zhangqing, completely contrary to their original intention.
Such a supreme treasure, Qing Shen Ji naturally would avoid using it if possible, saving it for later—this is indeed a life-saving trump card.
But now, Qing Shen Ji dares not hesitate even a bit, and can only painfully use this life-saving trump card.
Since it's unnecessary, she doesn't dare guarantee whether she can leave alive.
Seeing the formation token of the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation shatter, a terrifying pressure instantly spread out, and the surrounding space was likewise instantly enveloped by countless intricate formation patterns.
Seeing this, Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin, who were watching the battle from the side, changed expression, and Luo Jiuyou even burst out cursing.
"This crazy woman is sick."
Originally Ye Zhangqing had the upper hand, and Luo Jiuyou had breathed a sigh of relief, at least no longer needing to worry about Ye Zhangqing.
But who could have expected that this crazy woman, seeing she was losing, would directly resort to using the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation.
Before Ye Zhangqing, Luo Jiuyou, and Hei Lin could make any move, the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation quickly enveloped the three of them, and the Formation then rose up, as if sealing heaven and earth, firmly trapping them inside.
Seeing the Formation successfully trap Ye Zhangqing, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing also finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although using the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation caused them both a pang of pain, at least for now they are safe.
Through the Formation, looking at Ye Zhangqing's calm expression, as if he weren't worried at all, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing had complex expressions.
Originally they had teamed up to besiege Ye Zhangqing, but now they were forced to even use their life-saving trump cards, and the purpose turned out to be to preserve their own lives.
This makes one feel incredulous, but that's the fact: in that situation just now, if they hadn't used the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation, Qing Shen Ji wouldn't dare guarantee how much longer she could hold out.
Originally they were the hunters, but in the end they became the prey, while the original prey had now turned into a ferocious tiger, dealing them a sudden blow.
Her gaze fixed on Ye Zhangqing with a complex look, Qing Shen Ji took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Her expression also returned to her usual aloof profundity, but if observed carefully, one could still see the unrest in her eyes.
"Ye Zhangqing, you truly exceeded everyone's expectations; among the younger generation of Zhu Tian Wan Jie, you ought to be outstanding."
"We underestimated you, but your Dao Yi Shengdi ultimately lacks an Ancestral Realm, and Huánggōng will never let any opportunity slip."
"As long as you live one more day, the Ancestor of Huánggōng will only grow more frenzied."
"On the path to immortality, the two of us really can't do anything to you; just stay put in the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation."
Having said that, Qing Shen Ji glanced at Tian Xing beside her, the two said nothing, and turned and left directly.
They had already given up the idea of slaying Ye Zhangqing, because with their strength it was simply impossible.
They could only rely on the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation to trap Ye Zhangqing; as for what comes after, they no longer cared, anyway their deal with the Ancestor of Huánggōng ended in failure.
Watching the two simply give up and leave, Ye Zhangqing said nothing, but Luo Jiuyou became anxious.
This Heaven-Locking Grand Formation is a half-step Ancestor-level Formation; being trapped inside, it will take them ages to get out.
She immediately darkened her face and gritted her teeth, cursing.
"Hey, you're just leaving like that? What are we supposed to do?"
"Hey, wait a moment."
After shouting several times, seeing that Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing had no intention of responding, Luo Jiuyou grew ever more anxious.
"You bitch, wait a moment, let us out!"
Damn it, once I get out I'll definitely kill you, you stinky old woman—just you wait!
Hey, wait a moment.
Luo Jiuyou shouted curses, but Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing's figures quickly vanished from the three's sight, heading deeper into the Immortal Ascension Path.
