Chapter 1636 - The Escort
The people’s hearts were too delicate to handle such a stimulation. The attraction of the Great Sovereign’s inheritance was just too great. They had already given up on the fortune when they saw the changes happening to Wu Ningzhu, but after being provoked by Nanbei Chao, new ideas began to form in their heads. No one was willing to let the great inheritance fall into someone else’s hands, especially when that someone was even worse than them. Perhaps such an upheaval wouldn’t occur if the inheritance fell into the hands of a genius like Xia Xiaotian or Zhang Yulang.
Due to Wu Ningzhu being only a half-step Immortal Emperor, it made everyone think that her talent was definitely more inferior to any one of them. This was why everyone felt reluctant. It was also what provoked them. Nanbei Chao had been wanting this to happen. If they launched a joint attack, not only could they kill Wu Ningzhu, but also give him the chance to kill Jiang Chen and Dragon Shisan. These two men posed too much threat to him, particularly Jiang Chen. Although Jiang Chen’s cultivation base wasn’t on par with him yet, Jiang Chen’s potential terrified him. If he allowed Jiang Chen to continue to grow, it would only be a matter of time before he was surpassed, at that time, it would be his time to die.
Jiang Chen’s face darkened instantly and he glowered at Nanbei Chao. This bastard had truly infuriated him.
“Son of a b*tch! Such a shameless act! He’s going to ruin everything.”
Dragon Shisan scolded furiously, his iron staff was already in his hand. His qi of immemorial battle spirit had been unleashed.
“Let’s kill this woman together.”
Nanbei Chao’s voice resounded across the crowd. Then, he struck out his claw. The void ahead was shattered, terrifying energy rushed towards Wu Ningzhu. At the moment, Wu Ningzhu was putting all of her focus on the fiery stairs. She couldn’t retreat at this point, otherwise Empress Xiao Yao might give up on her and pick another descendant.
However, Wu Ningzhu had no fear, because Jiang Chen was at her back. He was the man she trusted the most. As long as Jiang Chen was present, she wouldn’t care even if the sky was falling down. She knew her man’s capabilities, and that he would do whatever it takes to protect her.
Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Saint Sword howled as it was slashed out at extreme speed. The intermediate Immortal Emperor couldn’t resist it at all and was slashed into half by the sword, blood spurted out in all directions.
“Brothers, let’s begin a massacre today.” Jiang Chen’s eyes were blood-red. For the sake of Wu Ningzhu, he was willing to flood this place with rivers of blood.
*Roar……*
Big Yellow rushed out in a stream of light. His cultivation base continued to climb. In just a matter of a few blinks, his cultivation base reached the peak of intermediate Immortal Emperor realm. The three drops of Great Earth Immortal Milk were being rapidly digested in his body. The progress of this divine dog couldn’t be measured with common sense.
*Bang!*
*Ah!*
With a wail, half of the body of an intermediate Immortal Emperor was destroyed by Big Yellow’s head. Despite being rare geniuses, they were no match for Big Yellow. No comparison could be made between both sides.
*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!* *Swoosh!*
Powerful geniuses appeared one after another. For an instant, the scene was thrown into chaos. Destructive energy was everywhere, but a well-protected pathway was left for Wu Ningzhu while she made her way towards the fiery stairway.
“Ah…” “Ah…”
Shrieks continued to be heard. This was the cruelest massacre. It could almost be viewed as a war. Jiang Chen and his comrades were defending their position with their lives.
As more and more people joined the battle, the scene intensified even more. Very quickly, mighty late Immortal Emperors also joined the fight. As there was only Lan Lingji who was a late Immortal Emperor in Jiang Chen’s side, there was a lot of pressure, but Jiang Chen, Big Yellow and Tyrant also had no trouble fighting against those late Immortal Emperors.
“Eternal Immortal Wind! Five Elemental Sphere!”
Jiang Chen yelled, casting out two skills at once. The massive domain had enveloped everyone inside, including Jiang Chen’s allies, but he had perfect control of his domain and the Eternal Immortal Wind, making sure that none of his people would be harmed.
