Chapter 279: Human Ceiling, Jiansheng Appears!

Looking again at the Alien Race territory outside Great Xia, at the entrance leading to the Yiji.

"Thump, thump."

At this moment, one figure after another suddenly came speeding back from deeper within.

They landed outside the Yiji entrance.

It was none other than Man Mang, Zui Xiaoyao, and the other top powerhouses from the various Martial Universities!

Ba Sheng and Feng Sheng had returned as well!

Yes, they were not dead.

On the side of the Three Great Alien Races, contrary to everyone's expectations, they had brought in Xuanwu, who had originally been stationed outside the Great Heaven Kingdom defense line.

The strength of that Beast Emperor was so great that the moment it appeared, it plunged the high-profile Zui Xiaoyao into a mortal crisis.

Even though Sun Wudi had revealed the true strength of the Eighth Grade Realm, it was still unable to block the terrifying attacks of Xuanwu.

It was just then that Xuanwu smashed another foot toward Zui Xiaoyao, its expression incomparably ferocious, looking as if it had already seen Zui Xiaoyao dying on the spot.

"Sigh." A long sigh suddenly rang out!

A youth with a cold expression, sharp facial features, dressed in white robes, carrying a long sword on his back, looking like an immortal descended from the heavens, appeared before Zui Xiaoyao, right in the path of Xuanwu's attack!

"Xuanwu, stop now.

You have ten seconds to take the other Alien Races and get lost!"

The youth spoke.

Even when facing Xuanwu, that top-tier Beast Emperor capable of holding back the only Human Ceiling of the Great Heaven Kingdom, his tone was still filled with an irresistible sense of authority.

Yet, Xuanwu's turtle foot suddenly halted at that very moment!

Its expression changed wildly, and for the first time, there was a look of gravity in its eyes!

At that moment, when Man Mang and the other high-level Martial University officials saw the youth's figure, every single one of them revealed looks of wild joy!

"It's Lord Jiansheng!!"

Jiansheng, one of the four Human Ceilings of Great Xia!

The Human Race's most top-tier combat power!

The high-level officials did not know how Jiansheng had appeared here, they only knew that since Jiansheng had arrived, the mortal crisis brought by Xuanwu had been resolved, and their plan to fight until the Three Great Alien Races voluntarily released the Human Race prodigies had more hope.

"Jiansheng, do you think I don't know that this is just a clone of yours? Your true body is currently deep in our territory, fighting against more than a dozen Emperors?!"

Xuanwu recalled something the next moment and said ferociously.

This actually let the high-level officials know the reason Jiansheng could appear; it turned out that only a clone had come.

The joy that had just risen in their hearts solidified once again.

"So what if it's a clone? To slay you, it is enough."

Jiansheng said indifferently.

"Ten seconds, there are six seconds left now."

As he spoke, a heaven-shocking Sword Intent rose violently!

"Do you dare to strike?"

"Diverting some of your focus to control this clone, the pressure on your true body must already be immense, right?

If you strike now, it means the combat power of your true body will decline once again; are you not afraid that the Emperors of my Three Great Alien Races will seize the opportunity to wound you, or even cause you to fall within our Alien Race territory!?"

Xuanwu did not believe it.

One must know that the Four Saints are the most important defense line for Great Xia and the entire Human Race to resist the invasion of the Three Great Alien Races!

If even one were missing, the iron hooves of the Three Great Alien Races would trample the Human Race in an instant!

For decades, other Martial Saints could return to Great Xia territory to varying degrees, and the likes of Man Mang could even stay in Great Xia territory for long periods, but the true bodies of the Four Saints had never returned to Great Xia, not even once!

The Four Saints could not even afford to be easily injured.

Unless it was trading injury for injury with multiple top-tier Emperors of the Three Great Alien Races!

Xuanwu simply did not believe at this moment that Jiansheng would pay the price of being injured for the sake of one Beast Emperor like him!

"Clang!" Then Jiansheng struck with his sword directly!

If one were to say that Zui Xiaoyao's sword was already brilliant and stunning, capable of killing a dozen peers of the same rank with a single strike.

Then Jiansheng's sword was simply a sword not of this world!

Clearly Jiansheng was also Eighth Grade, clearly this was only a clone, yet with this sword strike, within a radius of ten thousand miles, the sky became instantly cloudless!

"This sword, slays the turtle!"

The sword fell.

"Squelch!"

Looking at Xuanwu again, that once-arrogant Beast Emperor was now missing a limb!

Facts proved that even among Human Ceilings, there were still gaps!

"Is he crazy, or has this monster walked even further down the path of breaking limits?!

Retreat!"

Just like that, although Xuanwu could not understand the reason for Jiansheng's strike, it only knew that the mission to intercept had failed, and it fled with the Alien Races in a panic!

"Xuanwu has retreated!"

The high-level officials were even more pleasantly surprised; in their eyes, Jiansheng's figure became increasingly towering.

"Lord Jiansheng, we are continuing deeper into the Alien Race territory!"

Then the Vice Principal of Beijing Martial Arts University landed, indicating that since the crisis had been resolved, they would continue to attempt to rescue the Great Xia prodigies.

"Give it a rest, all of you..."

"Still continuing deeper into the Alien Race territory? This time, our Great Xia has lost..."

However, Man Mang saw something at this moment and let out a long, leisurely sigh.

Rarely, Sun Wudi, who had always been at odds with Man Mang, did not speak up this time upon hearing this; his expression was merely incomparably ugly!

"Lord Jiansheng..." The other high-level officials finally realized something was wrong and looked toward Jiansheng.

"The top-tier combat power of Great Xia, excluding the four of us, is too scarce."

Jiansheng did not answer the question directly and let out another long, leisurely sigh.

Everyone, however, had already realized the truth of the matter.

The Three Great Alien Races had prepared too thoroughly.

Furthermore, the stability within the Human Race's territory was originally the result of all nations resisting the Three Great Alien Races; this time, however, the second-ranked Great Heaven Kingdom had no intention of taking action at all.

I am afraid that it is not just them who have encountered danger here; the Martial Saints who went ahead have also encountered a mortal crisis!

Because of this, the Four Saints had no choice but to helplessly choose to retreat to the Defense Great Wall!

The reason why this avatar of Jiansheng was able to take action and injure Xuanwu with a single sword strike was also simple and clear!

They could even be certain that Xuanwu only suffered a minor injury because Jiansheng did it on purpose; the Human Ceiling of the Great Heaven Kingdom had disgusted Jiansheng this time!

On the battlefield where the Saints are located, an Alien Emperor has likely already fallen!

"But in this way, the prodigies of our Great Xia..."

"Great Xia cannot afford to lose too much Saint-level combat power."

Silence and dejection instantly filled the hearts of the high-level officials!

This was what happened before the high-level officials returned to the Yiji.

Therefore, after they landed, although not a single person had perished, and they could even vaguely guess that the Three Great Alien Races had lost at least one Emperor because of this operation.

On the way, they also discovered that the Life Lamps of the Great Xia prodigies were still lit.

At this moment, their expressions remained dim, and their moods were incomparably depressed!

They felt incomparable hatred for their own incompetence!

It is still the same saying: the prodigies only entered the Yiji because of them! If they hadn't been so impatient, they might have realized that the Yiji was a conspiracy of the Three Great Alien Races!

"The prodigies of our Great Xia are fine for now; it is likely just that the prodigies of other countries have temporarily attracted the attention of the Alien Race, and then they became much more cautious because they received the information we sent in."

"But how long can the prodigies of other countries hold on?"

"Those children, how desperate must they be right now..."

This is what the high-level officials were thinking in their hearts!

Among them, Sun Wudi felt the most self-reproach!

"I clearly knew Ye Bai was going to the Yiji...

I clearly could have refused and let Ye Bai become the backup plan for the Radical Faction this time!"

However.

What neither the high-level officials nor Sun Wudi knew was...

"Really, not going to tell them about the current situation inside the Yiji?"

"If you let them know about the existence of that Palace Complex, they wouldn't be feeling so miserable."

Above the firmament, that avatar of Jiansheng was quietly looking down.

His voice suddenly rang out, asking.

"Of course not."

"After all, whether they can come out alive still depends on whether anyone can secure those two opportunities."

Then, another voice, scholarly and refined, but with a hint of madness if listened to carefully, replied.

"Not talking to you anymore, I'm going to kill another Beast Emperor first!"

"Vulgar!"
