Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 695: Chicken Ribs
Chapter 695 -695: Chicken Ribs
In the high skies, the battle between Wang Chen and Liang Cen reached a fever pitch.
Both sides engaged in a fierce battle from a distance, rapidly clashing at close quarters. The violent collision between the Fire Crow and the Black Crows stirred up the winds and clouds as the conflict between mana and evil power intensified.
“Thunder Come!”
Amidst the firestorm that filled the sky, Wang Chen’s true form reemerged.
He grasped the Dragon Abyss Sword that had just returned to him, and with a nonchalant but fierce roar he faced the swarms of countless Black Crows converging from all directions.
...
Crack!
No sooner had he spoken than thunderbolts imbued with the supreme masculine force descended from the heavens, enveloping hundreds, perhaps thousands of Black Crows.
In an instant, lightning crisscrossed like purple serpents, and uncountable Black Crows were reduced to nothingness!
The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder could counter all demonic magic, and although Wang Chen only practiced the Purple Mansion Tier thunder magic, he relied on his Great Perfection level profound knowledge to destroy the opponent’s Black Crow technique in one fell swoop.
As Wang Chen expanded his mana, the falling thunder became denser and more frequent, rapidly increasing the affected area.
A special Black Crow suddenly revealed itself!
This Black Crow looked no different from the others, but when struck by a bolt of lightning, instead of perishing, it emitted a dim black light, forcefully withstanding the blow.
With his keen perception, Wang Chen immediately noticed this abnormal creature.
“Swift!”
He immediately commanded his Dragon Abyss Sword to shoot out, its blade aimed straight at the special Black Crow.
The Life-bound Flying Sword split into multiple fierce sword lights just tens of steps after it was launched, sealing off the target’s space to dodge and weave.
“Screech~”
Seeing danger, the Black Crow spit out a dark, glossy bead.
The next moment, this bead emitted endless black light, darkening the skies and sprawling in all directions, not only shrouding the Black Crow itself but also enveloping Wang Chen.
Wang Chen’s Dragon Abyss Sword lost its target, and the strike meant to ensure victory missed!
And that wasn’t all. The evil power in the space around Wang Chen surged, forming a massive prison intent on binding him tightly within it and eroding his essence while consuming his soul!
Clearly, Liang Cen had employed some kind of magical treasure level demon weapon and reversed the tide of battle in the blink of an eye.
Wang Chen, who had previously been at an advantage, now found himself in jeopardy!
However, Wang Chen, trapped in a difficult situation, did not panic at all.
He still had plenty of trump cards up his sleeve!

For instance, the Yueyang Bell, acquired from a True Person, was more than enough to handle such a situation.
But Wang Chen didn’t use this magical treasure; he simply recalled the Dragon Abyss Sword and stood motionless in midair.
He appeared to be completely at a loss.
In the blink of an eye, Liang Cen appeared soundlessly behind Wang Chen, his right-hand claws flashing as he reached to strike at the vital spot on Wang Chen’s back!
At this moment, the evil cultivator’s fingers grew sharp hook-like claws, each gleaming with black light and wrapped in wisps of dark mist.
Just as Liang Cen’s poisoned claws were about to reach him, Wang Chen suddenly snapped out of it and turned to face his enemy.
Thud!
Wang Chen’s body protection magical shield was instantly pierced through by Liang Cen’s claws, which then cut through his robe with an unstoppable momentum, reaching his chest skin.
An extremely chilling evil power burst forth!
Bang!
Wang Chen was sent flying backward, a kite with its string cut, as blood spurted from his mouth along with what appeared to be fragments of his internal organs.
Liang Cen’s strike was utterly savage and ruthless, with his Purple Mansion peak cultivation level displayed to full effect.
One strike sent Wang Chen plummeting to the ground!
But this powerful evil cultivator did not escape unscathed.
A sword scar stretched straight from his brow to his chin, the flesh turned inside out, yet strangely not a single drop of blood flowed.
This was Wang Chen’s counterattack in the instant he was ambushed—a sword strike that equally cut through his opponent’s magical armor!
It was this very sword strike that caused shock and uncertainty to flicker across Liang Cen’s typically cold and impassive eyes.
He didn’t immediately pursue the seriously injured Wang Chen.
At this moment, several streaks of light came from the east at a speed comparable to arrows leaving a bowstring.
The corner of Liang Cen’s eye twitched, and then he looked deeply at Wang Chen, who had just landed, before turning around, waving his sleeve, and transforming into a cloud of black smoke in an instant.
He shot up into the sky!
By the time the newcomers arrived, the evil cultivator had already fled far away.
“Cough cough!”
Wang Chen struggled to rise from the ground, his face pale as paper, coughing so violently that blood came up.
After a few breaths, three streaks of light landed in front of him.
It was none other than three constables from the Patrol and Arrest Bureau dressed in Purple Mansion Tier uniforms!
“Evil-Suppressing Department’s Wang Chen?”
One of them asked in a deep voice, “Was that Liang Cen just now?”
Wang Chen, holding his chest, said with a wry smile, “Yes, that’s right.”
A look of mockery flashed in that person’s eyes as he said, “You’re no match for Liang Cen. We’ll take over the pursuit from here. Go back and heal of your injuries!”
Wang Chen nodded gloomily.
“Let’s chase!”
The man no longer paid any attention to Wang Chen, sprung into the air, and along with the two other constables, chased in the direction Liang Cen had fled.
Wang Chen watched the three leave, licking his somewhat dry lips.
Carrying his substantial injuries, he returned to the Patrol and Arrest Bureau in Yongle Immortal City.
“Cough cough! I beg your forgiveness for my incompetence,” Wang Chen apologized in the hall of the Evil-Suppressing Department, looking desolate, “I’m no match for Liang Cen. The task of pursuit has been taken over by colleagues from the Department of Arrest.”
Guan Shengping stared at Wang Chen without saying a word, the imposing aura of a Golden Core True Person pressing down so heavily that the latter couldn’t straighten his back.
Sweat beaded on Wang Chen’s forehead.
He had sustained serious injuries and couldn’t bear such pressure, holding himself up from kneeling only by sheer will.
After a long while, Guan Shengping finally spoke, “Let it go.”
The Golden Core True Person retracted his imposing aura, appearing to lose interest as if a beloved toy was broken.
He waved his hand dismissively: “You no longer need to come here in the future.”
Without a doubt, Guan Shengping had lost all interest in recruiting Wang Chen.
“Yes.”
Wang Chen, head lowered and coughing, stepped out of the hall one step at a time.
After he left, a middle-aged cultivator appeared quietly beside Guan Shengping.
Without turning his head, Guan Shengping asked, “What do you think?”
The middle-aged cultivator pondered for a moment: “Chicken ribs.”
“Chicken ribs?”
Guan Shengping laughed and said, “Yes, indeed, chicken ribs.”
After thinking for a while, the Golden Core True Person said, “The Evil-Suppressing Department doesn’t need trash. He’s accumulated quite a bit of Immortal Merit, hasn’t he? Have him redeem his Taoist Contract on his own and find him a peaceful place.”
He emphasized the words “peaceful place.”
The middle-aged cultivator replied with bowed head and compliance, “Yes.”
While responding, he felt pity—Wang Chen was truly without a future, not only being expelled from the Evil-Suppressing Department but also having to give up his Immortal Merit; it was truly a blow both to life and spirit.
However, pity aside, the middle-aged cultivator showed none of his inner emotions.
He had long understood what kind of person True Person Guan was!
