Bang! The bodies of Qin Chen and his two companions shook violently, looking quite miserable. Qingqiu Ziyi was blasted away, nine tails floating behind her, with terrifying demonic power pouring out wildly. She groaned, her face pale, and even the source of her great Dao was somewhat damaged.
You Qianxue was also in a sorry state, her body trembling as she spat out blood. Fortunately, she possessed the Supreme Legacy of the Taiyin Glazed Glass, and the Nine Extremes Water condensed around her once more, protecting her from the majority of the attack. Had it been an ordinary peak Saint Master, they would have been pulverized by such an assault.
Even so, she was quite disheveled, staggering backwards with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth and her hair in disarray.
As for Qin Chen, his body cracked open, trickling with blood, and an ancient aura emanated from him.
All of this happened in an instant. Zhuge Rulong launched a powerful attack, and even with Qin Chen using the myriad Dao Qingjin Cauldron, the three of them were severely injured and looked utterly wretched.
This scene shocked many people around them.
"These three actually managed to withstand it."
The Cloud Sovereign Master of the Tianyuan Sect exclaimed involuntarily, his eyes filled with shock. Under the attack of Zhuge Rulong's ancestor, these three people emerged unscathed. This outcome astonished everyone, leaving them somewhat surprised and incredulous.
"Hmm, a Venerable Treasure?"
Zhuge Rulong fixed his gaze on the myriad Dao Qingjin Cauldron, his expression turning grim. Despite heavily injuring the three, none had fallen, leaving him feeling rather embarrassed.
Furthermore, he had expected Qin Chen to block it, but the fact that the other two also survived caught him off guard.
"A demon race? Nine tails? Could it be the royal Nine-tailed Fox clan of the demon race?"
Zhuge Rulong stared at Qingqiu Ziyi, his eyes glowing with interest. The Nine-tailed Fox lineage was a royal family within the demon fox clan. It was rumored that in ancient times, the Nine-tailed Fox lineage suffered great losses and disappeared from the world. To think that he would encounter one here?
"And, the Nine Extremes Water? The primordial mother water born during the creation of the world? This is a top-tier treasure. Even I may not easily control it. What kind of legacy did this girl receive to control the Nine Extremes Water?"
Zhuge Rulong looked at the Nine Extremes Water surrounding You Qianxue, showing an expression of surprise. The Nine Extremes Water was a primordial mother water born with the world, quite rare and difficult to control, precious even to a Venerable. Yet, You Qianxue was able to wield it, leaving him in awe.
While shocked, he quickly became ecstatic. The more extraordinary You Qianxue and her companions were, the more special he felt Qin Chen was.
"Hahaha, the three of you, don't think you can escape today."
Zhuge Rulong laughed loudly, attacking once more. With a hum, he stomped on the ground, and an infinite light of fate surged, truly like countless threads, sealing off the Sword Monument Forest, shrouding everything within it. Countless lights of fate mingled, transforming into chains of order, sealing everything. Some of these chains of fate aimed to entangle You Qianxue and Qingqiu Ziyi.
These chains of order shone with divine brilliance, possessing the power to seal everything. Additionally, they carried the light of fate, capable of imprisoning fate itself, making one's heart palpitate and hair stand on end. Once bound by these chains of order, even fate would be imprisoned, leaving no room for escape.
"Haha, boy, just surrender obediently."
"In front of Old Ancestor Zhuge, you dare to resist? You're courting death."
The Cloud Sovereign Master and others laughed wildly, their gazes fierce, expressions arrogant and wild, standing around the light of fate, coldly watching Qin Chen. They were full of a condescending attitude, embodying the mindset of petty people.
With Zhuge Rulong present, they acted like foxes exploiting the tiger's power, looking down on everyone in the Sword Monument Forest, displaying an extremely arrogant demeanor, full of contempt—a group of lackeys.
