I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 387
Chapter 387: The mantis catches the cicada, being used as a chess piece
“How did they find this place?” Jiang Luoshen’s complexion was not very good. In her opinion, there were many passages here, and finding the main tomb would require considerable effort. How could several sect leader-level figures suddenly arrive?
“They must have acted separately, each choosing a passage. This group got lucky and just happened to find this place. And we just broke the prohibitions and formations here, making it easier for them,” the blond old woman beside Jiang Luoshen said in a deep voice.
At the same time, she stood up and displayed her absolute strength. The quasi-supreme realm aura she emitted shocked many great sect masters. As Jiang Luoshen’s protector, her cultivation was incredibly powerful, and she was Jiang Luoshen’s main support.
“Hold them back. I’m going to take the ancestral divine orb,” Jiang Luoshen said, glancing indifferently at the group of great sect masters. Her footsteps turned into golden light and shadow as she set off, heading towards the Taoist platform.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Supreme God Clan members were on high alert, ready to defend against anyone else who might rush in at this time.
“This item is the divine orb of the ancestor of the Supreme God Clan. How about you and I join forces to snatch it? When we get it, we will share it equally,” suggested one of the sect leaders who had rushed in. They all stared at the purple crystal with fiery eyes, feeling the majestic aura and energy fluctuations emanating from it.
If they could refine and absorb it, their cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. They had been stuck at the bottleneck of the quasi-supreme realm for years, and this might be their chance to break through.
These words were immediately approved by everyone. After all, the Divine Orb was the size of a fist. Even if it were divided into small pieces, it would still be a significant opportunity, making the journey worthwhile. Although the blond old woman had a quasi-supreme realm cultivation base, they believed she could not oppose all of them.
“Princess, I can only hold them off for a while. You must take the ancestral divine orb as soon as possible and leave. I’ll find you when I get a chance to escape,” the blond old woman transmitted her voice to Jiang Luoshen. After speaking, a huge golden tower appeared in her hand.
It was nine stories high, and the golden light surged like a scorching sun, illuminating the area with a dazzling radiance. The fluctuation of the quasi-supreme aura erupted like a torrential mountain stream, turning the world upside down with its mighty momentum.
“You can’t stop us, so hand over the divine orb if you’re smart,” one of the four great sect masters declared indifferently. “Don’t mislead yourself, and don’t blame us if you fall here.”
Seeing this, the sect masters began to take action. Various divine chains of laws, splendid and terrifying, materialized from their efforts, intertwining like exploding stars. The energy fluctuations were overwhelmingly powerful, nearly bursting the void, which struggled to contain such immense force.
The sect masters unleashed their most potent divine powers and treasures. If not for the special formation pattern of this place, the resting ground of the Supreme God’s ancestor, it would have collapsed into ruins under such intense power.
A terrible battle erupted. Both the blond old woman and the four leaders demonstrated their strongest techniques. At their level, each move had the potential to destroy worlds. Although it seemed like an open and fair fight, it held infinite destructive power.
Jiang Chen’s steps faltered, and he felt a suffocating heart palpitation. In the presence of such powerful beings, his strength felt insignificant, like that of an ant.
“If the timing isn’t right, I still have to run for my life,” Jiang Chen thought, communicating with the Immortal Boat Spirit of Good Fortune. He glanced at Jiang Luoshen with concern. Now, Jiang Luoshen was their greatest hope.
If something happened to her here, these great sect masters would never spare his life.
“Mr. Jiang, let’s take the opportunity to slip away,” Monk Pu Du said, his complexion also pale. He had thought the Taixu God Clan had enough manpower, but under the siege of the four great sect masters, it was clear they would not be able to hold out for long. Although the other powerhouses were strong, they paled in comparison to these sect leaders.
“Why is the Taoist platform where the ancestor sat blocking me? What is wrong with these formations?” Jiang Luoshen’s voice came through, sounding frustrated. Her face was tense as she quickly approached the square Taoist platform, but a golden mist and ripple-like fluctuations spread from it, forming a massive barrier that prevented her from getting closer. The formation pattern had reactivated, and despite the aura clearly belonging to her ancestors, it now blocked her path.
“Jiang Chen, what’s going on?” Jiang Luoshen asked coldly, noticing his intention to escape. She fixed him with a sharp look, demanding an explanation.
“That should be to prevent someone from taking the divine orb after sitting. It will take some time to crack this formation,” Jiang Chen said, his scalp numb under Jiang Luoshen’s intense gaze. He felt a shudder in his soul. If Jiang Luoshen decided to kill him now, he knew he wouldn’t be able to escape.
“If you can’t crack these patterns, then you won’t escape alive,” Jiang Luoshen said coldly.
Jiang Chen cursed silently and reluctantly moved towards the formation, resisting the terrifying fluctuations in the area. With his ability, he couldn’t decipher these formations. However, given time, the Immortal Boat could indeed do it.
At that moment, the blond old woman, who was battling the four great sect masters, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell from the air. Her hair was disheveled, and she was covered in blood, looking extremely embarrassed. Although she was in the quasi-supreme realm, her breakthrough had been recent, making her incomparable to a true quasi-supreme. Not to mention, the four high-ranking figures before her were incredibly powerful, having been invincible in their youth.
In the beginning, they could compete against one or two, but over time, they were bound to fall into a disadvantage.
“Jin Po…” Jiang Luoshen’s complexion changed, and her silver teeth clenched.
Hearing these words, the blond old woman shook her head, took an elixir, and rushed forward again, her body glowing and entwined with golden rays of light. She wielded her weapons and continued to fight fiercely.
Jiang Luoshen grew even more anxious. If the previous elder hadn’t died at Gu Changge’s hands, she wouldn’t be so passive now. Jin Po wouldn’t have to desperately delay time.
“How long can you resist? Resistance is futile. Hand over your divine orb, and you might still survive today,” one of the four sect leaders said indifferently. They pushed their big hands horizontally, striking the blond old woman, causing her to cough up blood again, leaving her seriously injured.
Their strength was immense. Even though their cultivation hadn’t reached the quasi-supreme realm, their combat power was close. Now, with the four of them joining forces, they were nearly invincible.
“Hold them for me,” Jiang Luoshen commanded coldly, glancing at the four major leaders. She ordered her people to come forward and delay them.
“Jiang Chen, hurry up!” she demanded.
Following her command, the rest of the Supreme God Clan powerhouses rushed forward. Without hesitation, they unleashed their various weapons and displayed their strongest techniques.
Their efforts proved futile as they moved forward, only to cough up blood almost instantly and retreat. Many collapsed and exploded in an instant, their bodies and spirits destroyed.
This sight further darkened Jiang Luoshen’s face, her jade hands clenched tightly. Though she had other means at her disposal, they were all reserved for saving her life in critical moments. She admitted her carelessness; she hadn’t brought enough people on this trip, or else she wouldn’t be in such a dire situation.
“Okay, this formation is resolved,” Jiang Chen’s voice came, accompanied by a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling somewhat relieved. With a flash of brilliance in his hand, the formation before him began to crack and shattered into a shower of light. The Immortal Boat Spirit had expended a lot of energy for this, nearly falling into a deep sleep again.
Jiang Luoshen felt the terrifying resistance dissipate and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped forward, heading towards the Taoist platform to collect the purple crystal-like divine personality.
Boom!!!
At that moment, a tremendous momentum emanated from the other side of the corridor. The expressions of all those engaged in battle shifted slightly, even the four leaders locked in combat with the blond old woman had to pause and frown.
The void quaked as an incomparable power descended. Ripples spread out, resembling petals blooming in the ethereal space, carrying the supreme rules. Finally, they transformed into a sky-piercing sword energy, slashing at those in conflict!
The force of the blow was overwhelming, causing the four sect leader-level figures to change their expressions, displaying a hint of fear as they hastily retreated to avoid the attack. However, even avoiding the direct impact, they still felt the aftermath, their blood tumbling uncomfortably.
“Who is it?” Their faces darkened as they realized they had been manipulated like pawns.
Jiang Luoshen’s expression turned cold as she retrieved something from her storage ring, prepared to sacrifice it at a moment’s notice.
As soon as the pattern on the Taoist platform was cracked, someone suddenly appeared, giving Jiang Luoshen the impression that this person had been here all along, silently observing the proceedings.
“Why is someone here again?” Jiang Chen frowned, his gaze shifting towards the corridor.
“Why, it seems Gu has arrived at an inopportune moment? Why are you all looking at me like that?” With a chuckle, a man and a woman materialized at the entrance of the tunnel.
Between his palms and fingers, the man wielded sword aura with ease, causing everyone to feel a sense of impending doom, as if the universe itself were collapsing.
“Gu Changge!” Jiang Luoshen’s golden eyes fixed on the approaching young man, filled with undisguised hatred and shock.
