Chapter 1104: The Place of Sacrifice

Facing the arrival of Chen Yu and Ling Yun, these people displayed unprecedented hostility; dozens of sect members quickly stepped forward, shielding the eighteen Priests within their ranks.

"Who are you people? How dare you intrude upon our God Sect's sacrificial ceremony? You are showing disrespect to our God. Kill them and sacrifice them to our God." An elderly Priest pointed his snake-headed Scepter heavily at the two, and the dozens of sect members roared as they charged forward.

"Just watch from the side and protect yourself," Chen Yu said to Ling Yun, then his figure flashed, and he had already charged into the crowd.

A glimmer of light flashed over Chen Yu's figure, and this light instantly condensed into protective Qi; wherever he went, the sect members could not help but fly away, and in an instant, more than half of the sect members could no longer get up.

"It's a Dharma Cultivator! He is that Dharma Cultivator who has ruined our major plans several times. Kill him!" Angry voices rose in the crowd, and the eighteen Priests pulled out their shaman staves one after another and began to chant.

In an instant, a power from the Asura Hell formed a terrifying energy shield, and this energy shield was unbreakable. These eighteen Priests were high-ranking members of the A-San Divine Sect; united together, their power was terrifying.

Chen Yu held Li Chen and slashed forward with a sword. With a hum, the powerful Sword Qi caused the void to distort, and immediately after, a violent force condensed into a massive Sword Qi, slashing heavily onto that energy shield.

With a boom, the Sword Qi slashed heavily onto the energy shield, and the intense fluctuations spread in all directions like a hurricane, turning the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees into powder.

After the Sword Qi passed, this energy remained, though it was much weaker than before, and nearly half of the Priests within the energy shield spat out blood, while the other half turned pale.

They looked at Chen Yu in terror. The energy shield formed by the combined Mind Power of all of them could not be breached even by a tank, yet Chen Yu had nearly broken the light shield with a single sword strike. To what terrifying extent had this person's power reached?

"Impressive. With the combined Mind Power of eighteen Priests, my sword strike actually failed to break it?" Chen Yu looked at the remaining light shield in surprise and dismissed the thought of attacking the opponent with Divine Sense.

After all, this was the Mind Power gathered by eighteen Priests. If he had broken through to the Spirit Rhinoceros Realm, his Divine Sense would have multiplied in power, giving him a chance to contend with them, but for now, he had to find another way.

The incantations of the several Priests had already finished, and the phantom of a Demon God suddenly appeared in mid-air. This was actually the remnant thought of a deity, forcibly summoned by these eighteen Priests.

With a huge roar, the Demon God lunged fiercely at Chen Yu. Li Chen in Chen Yu's hand swayed slightly, he let out a deep shout, and then charged fiercely toward the phantom.

With a flash of his figure, Chen Yu's body transformed into more than ten images in that instant, each figure delivering a heavy sword strike; in this moment, dozens of sword strikes were actually unleashed.

Even though this thing was a clone of a Demon God, under Chen Yu's such dense attacks, it could not quite hold on.

After one round of attacks, the clone disappeared, and Chen Yu's Original Power was also greatly depleted. He pointed Li Chen in his hand slightly toward the ground, absorbing the Original Power between heaven and earth to replenish himself.

Just at this moment, another extremely strong force surged out. These eighteen Priests were playing a war of attrition; as long as they were given a chance to communicate with the gods, they would divide into two groups and attack Chen Yu continuously.

"Mr. Chen, let's retreat." Ling Yun had already seen that something was wrong; if this continued, no one could afford the consumption.

These eighteen Priests themselves were not terrifying, but their power came from the outside world; once given the chance, the attacks would come endlessly.

"You go first, I will cover the rear." Chen Yu stared at these people. He gestured with his right hand, and Li Chen floated in mid-air again. The sword shadow split into two, then increased exponentially, and a sword array had already formed in mid-air.

Following Chen Yu's deep shout, he gestured with his right hand, and the sword array in mid-air formed a rain of swords, falling from the sky.

Boom, boom, boom—the powerful Sword Intent crashed down, and the outer sect members lost another half, but that light shield still had not been broken by Chen Yu.

Just at this moment, a second attack suddenly formed, and a powerful aura enveloped the scene in an instant. Chen Yu held Li Chen, and a Sword Intent resembling a surging river formed before him.

For this sword strike, he had exhausted all his Original Power, but the opponent, gathering the power of eighteen Priests, seemed even stronger. Chen Yu had no idea whether he could break this turtle-shell-like light shield.

Just at this moment, a figure swept across the sky, a flash of green Qi appeared, and Yu Sichen arrived.

She gestured with her right hand, and several ice thorns formed. Crack, crack—countless ice thorns formed an extremely strong ice wall, meeting that force head-on.

Boom... The two energies intersected, the ice wall shattered suddenly, and Yu Sili's body rose from the ground again. In mid-air, she was in a long white dress, cold and stunningly beautiful.

"Sichen, you take Ling Yun and leave. I will cover the rear," Chen Yu said.

"Brother Chen, their power comes from the Demon God. With eighteen of them acting at once, you cannot handle it alone." Countless ice thorns formed behind Yu Sichen, light gathered on the ice thorns, and she said indifferently: "If we are to die, we die together."

"What are you doing? I am fine," Chen Yu shouted.

Yu Sichen smiled faintly, her slender Jade fingers pointed downward, and countless ice thorns formed into ice cones, falling downward.

Countless screams rang out from below, and another portion of the sect members met their end.

And just at this moment, the light shield suddenly withdrew. The eighteen Priests looked at the sky in terror, their gazes filled with both respect and awe, and then, to Chen Yu's dumbfounded expression, these people all knelt on the ground with a thud.

They knelt and bowed toward Yu Sichen in mid-air, shouting: "Respectfully welcoming the Dragon Maiden to manifest her holiness..."

"Dragon Maiden, manifesting holiness?" Chen Yu was completely bewildered, Ling Yun was even more confused, and even Yu Sichen in mid-air was somewhat baffled herself.

She slowly descended, unable to help but look at Chen Yu, and Chen Yu's mind stirred, instantly understanding what was going on.

Yu Sichen had killed that Dragon Maiden in the village on the border, who was an emissary from Hell. After killing her, Yu Sichen had fused with a certain aura of the Dragon Maiden, so now in the eyes of these A-Sans, Yu Sichen was the Dragon Maiden who had manifested her holiness.

Yu Sichen also quickly understood the reason for this. She subconsciously glanced at Chen Yu, signaling to ask what Chen Yu wanted to do.

"Taking the A-San Divine Sect for our own use and guiding them back to the right path is also fine," Chen Yu said softly to Yu Sichen.

Yu Sichen was slightly startled, then she understood the reason for this, and she nodded slowly.
