System's Super Sect-Chapter 701 - 696, He Nian, you better seek your own blessings.
Embedded in the ground, Long Ye struggled to raise his head, gritting his teeth, he looked in the direction He Nian was heading.
But Long Ye could only see the pile of rubble in front of him, and the tumbling Bai Chen far off in the distance.
He wanted to raise his head a little higher, but his body refused to comply.
After three hammer strikes, the Celestial Materials and Earthly Treasures he consumed in recent days were completely wasted, the injuries returning to what they were a few days before.
Of course, this wasn’t the most urgent matter.
The most pressing matter at hand was He Nian rushing toward Long Yue.
The burdened Wen Yan running with Long Yue on his back would undoubtedly become the primary target.
"This guy actually cultivated the Earth Level Vein Skill into a Secret Technique..." Long Ye gritted his teeth, propping himself on his palms, attempting to climb up.
After several attempts, Long Ye finally managed to free himself from the ground.
Toward the direction He Nian was heading, Long Ye strained every muscle in his body to shout: "He Nian, don’t do something stupid!"
He Nian did not turn around, plunging into the crowd like a boulder.
The people around immediately began to disperse, screaming and running backward.
The three Golden Level Chiefs of the Hundred Sects Alliance witnessed this, not daring to approach and impede He Nian’s steps; they could only guide the citizens of Cangwu City.
After the crowd dispersed, Wen Yan, still running backward with Long Yue, came into view.
"You are truly courting death."
He Nian revealed a look of displeasure, and with a lift of his hand, a Vein Qi Condensed Saber was thrown out, aiming to sever Wen Yan’s legs.
The few Mountain Suppression Realm guards hurriedly intercepted, although they blocked the saber, they were all knocked flying by He Nian’s advancing hammer strike.
After hammering away those Mountain Suppression Realm guards, He Nian’s right hand formed into a claw, condensing a dirt-yellow eagle claw, reaching for Wen Yan and Long Yue.
Long Ye, who had climbed up, watched this scene from afar, his heart almost leaping out, shouting hysterically: "He Nian, you damned fool, stop! You want to die, but I still want to live!"
If caught, Long Yue would be unharmed.
Because that eagle claw was merely condensed from Vein Qi.
It could only harm Mountain Suppression Realm.
But Wen Yan was different, once caught, he would be crushed to death.
If anything were to happen to Wen Yan, he would have to follow suit to the grave.
Despite hearing Long Ye’s shout, He Nian remained indifferent.
What he was about to do could not be stopped even by Long Ye being right in front of him, let alone those ineffectual words.
"Come to me!"
With an angry shout, the eagle claw was about to catch Long Yue.
Suddenly.
A lightning-like streak of white light crossed and vanished instantly.
Its disappearance also took away the massive eagle claw.
Upon a closer look, it seemed as if the eagle claw had never appeared at all. If it weren’t for the lingering Vein Qi traces in the air, no one would understand what had just happened.
"Who!"
"Who!"
He Nian gripped the hammer, alertly scanning his surroundings.
The white light vanished...
There was hardly anyone around.
"Hear my summons..." But suddenly, this voice emanated from afar.
Accompanying its arrival, the entire world suddenly turned cold as if it was an ice cellar.
Death’s breath began to permeate.
A heart-palpitating feeling welled up.
Seeing this, Long Ye’s face immediately changed; he knew what was happening.
"I’ve already... tried my best."
Long Ye said this helplessly and looked around, searching for Wen Ping.
And spread his body, showing his injuries to Wen Ping.
Thinking Long Ye was speaking to him, He Nian hurriedly asked: "Long Ye, did you do this?"
Long Ye was initially a bit apprehensive, but realizing Wen Ping was dealing with He Nian, he immediately grinned smugly and said: "If you had honestly fought me, wouldn’t that be better than trying to harm others... Good luck to you."
Having said that, Long Ye retreated holding his injured shoulder, stumbling as he walked.
After taking a few steps, under the night sky came a towering, majestic white figure, blocking out the sky as it approached.
Devouring Beast!
Reappearance!
Seeing this scene from afar through the night, He Nian felt a chill in his heart.
"This..."
He knew, this was the skeletal monster that severely injured Long Ye days ago!
Watching it slowly approach him, He Nian couldn’t help but gulp, then respectfully cupped his fists and said: "May I ask, have I offended Your Excellency?"
The Devouring Beast did not speak.
Because it had no mouth.
Instead, Long Ye smirked and said: "Take care, hope you see the sunrise tomorrow morning."
Having said that, Long Ye ran off.
Seeing this, Wen Yan realized his son had arrived, swallowed his panic, and ran backward with Long Yue on his back.
After a few steps, he bumped into Wen Ping.
"Father, are you alright?" Wen Ping approached. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Wen Yan shook his head, then turned to glance at Long Yue on his back and said: "Your aunt has something wrong."
"The injuries aren’t too serious... by the way, where’s Long Ye?" Wen Ping stared at Long Yue, and Zi Ran nearby hastily came forward to take over carrying her on his back.
Wen Ping was not happy now.
He wanted to have a chat with Long Ye.
Let him act as his father’s bodyguard, and yet he let his father fall into danger.
Luckily, he’d come to dine with his father today, otherwise, that claw of He Nian just now, would his father have a chance to survive?
Wen Yan noticed the discontent on Wen Ping’s face, he didn’t want to say anything, only said: "Let’s go to a safe place; your aunt’s condition is quite bad."
Wen Ping did not object, and said to Zi Ran: "Elder Zi Ran, take my father and them back to the inn."
"Sect Leader, what about you?" Zi Ran’s words questioned, but her face was surprised.
Because of just now, Zi Ran was in a state she couldn’t recover from.
The Sect Leader actually summoned a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted skeleton monster.
When hearing the Sect Leader’s spell, she thought he was going to summon Situ Xiuneng again.
But who could have imagined...
"To find a person." Saying that, Wen Ping walked toward another street under the night sky.
"Be care..." Zi Ran initially wanted to say ’be careful,’ but thinking of the Sect Leader’s already mastered control over the Half-Step Earth Unrestricted power, the admonitions seemed unnecessary.
...
Bang!
The Devouring Beast, curled into a ball, descended from the sky, He Nian grabbed the Giant Hammer to intercept, and their first collision set off the battle with He Nian retreating over twenty steps.
Retreating from the collision, He Nian felt the pain from his arm, and a word flashed through his mind: Strong!
At least stronger than Long Ye at his peak!
"Your Excellency Demon King, we had no grievance recently, nor in the past, what are you doing this for?"
He Nian was now bewildered.
Wasn’t this skeletal monster Long Ye’s enemy?
Why suddenly aiding Long Ye now?
As soon as the words fell, the ground beneath stirred.
Stunned, He Nian hurriedly tried to dodge, but just in the time it took to say those words, he had already lost the chance to evade.
The Bone Spike Cage immediately trapped him.
The Devouring Beast opened its massive jaw wide.
Devouring Power, appear!
The Devouring Power suddenly erupted in the cage, like a tide, pressing in from all directions, relentlessly squeezing He Nian.
He Nian originally intended to strike the nearby Bone Spike Cage with his Giant Hammer, knowing the opponent’s next round of attacks would surely follow. But just with that thought, before he could swing the hammer, his entire body was squeezed tightly, unable to move.
