Chapter 456: Transferring Qi Into Three Clears

At this moment, Su Chen took a step forward and gently waved his sleeves. In an instant, a supreme power swept out and instantly scattered the divine light in the sky, striking them. This action immediately caused the white-haired elder and the middle-aged man from the Golden Crow Clan to freeze in astonishment.

They stared at Su Chen in bewilderment, their minds filled with incomprehension.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, what is the meaning of this?” the white-haired elder finally could not help but ask in a muffled voice. Before entering this formation, Su Chen had emphatically stated how extremely dangerous the human race was and that he must eliminate the prodigies of humankind.

Yet now, within this formation, he saw a human prodigy. Setting aside how she had arrived here, based solely on her aptitude, it was evident this person was no ordinary being; if allowed to remain, she would undoubtedly bring endless calamity upon the ancient myriad races.

What they did not anticipate was that at this most critical juncture, it would in fact be Su Chen who took the initiative to obstruct them. This left the two men completely bewildered. What was the reason for all of this? Why was Su Chen hindering them?

“I will take this person!” Su Chen said tonelessly, offering no explanation. As his words fell, he stretched out his hand and lightly grasped at the woman in white with a tugging motion. Instantly, Ye Ruxue’s body flew up through the air to land in Su Chen’s embrace. The warm and fragrant softness entering his arms made one’s heart involuntarily swell with elation.

Regarding this, Ye Ruxue did not struggle at all. The two had already become acquainted earlier.

“Fellow Daoist Chen!” The white-haired elder remarked heavily upon seeing this scene, “Is this not somewhat inappropriate?”

He sized up Su Chen and Ye Ruxue. At the depths of his eyes was a trace of probing. His intuition informed him something was amiss with these two!

Whether it was their rapport or their manner, much was out of place. The ancient myriad races meeting humans would generally shout for a battle where one side must die. Humans too would react the same upon seeing ancient royal clans. Yet bizarrely, these two before him did not exhibit such attitudes.

Ye Ruxue had landed in Su Chen’s hands, showing not anger but a hint oL.delight. This was highly irregular!

“What issue exists? The two of you ought to be more concerned with that guardian in the distance!” Su Chen replied slowly and deliberately. However, no sooner had his words fallen than an extremely miserable shriek rang out.

Right after, a shadow pounced forth like the bellow of a netherworld demon deity, making scalps tingle numbly. Everyone felt their hair stand on end. A heaven-overturning might enveloped the cosmos in that instant. The power at the peak stage of the Great Saint Realm swept across the entire narrow passageway, leaving all present as if stranded amidst a vast ocean.

This path was far too cramped at no more than ten feet in width. Facing the opponent’s fierce attack, Su Chen’s group had nowhere whatsoever to evade.

“Why would they suddenly take action? Could the human before us be the reason?” the white-haired elder cried out, appalled by the scene unfolding.

Earlier, Ye Ruxue had confronted her opposition for quite some time without harm. Yet now, no sooner had she landed in Su Chen’s hands than four peak-stage Great Saint Realm beings rushed to slaughter them. It was difficult not to draw certain inferences.

“The two of you need not fret over causes now. Let us discuss joining forces to traverse this present tribulation!” Su Chen said tonelessly. Soon after, he shouted softly and his right fist abruptly erupted with dazzling radiance as he swung a punch. In a flash, lightning interconnected as white thunder illuminated the firmament, striking into the void.

This was the divine power of the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan, containing nothing too profound. After all, he was not Qin Hao who could cultivate demonic divine powers. Presently he could only wield some basic demon crafts. Even were the White Jade Divine Elephants’ most advanced secrets placed before Su Chen, he could only gaze on longingly, unable to cultivate them. Thus he could employ merely superficial techniques.

Yet even so, endowed by his endless might, the effect remained exceptionally formidable.

Boom!

White divine light detonated, paired with heaven-scraping breakers that in a split second fractured the void, punching a black figure away.

“Very well! Since Fellow Daoist Chen has spoken thus, let us ally to engage these foes first!” The white-haired elder was somewhat unwilling as he peered deeply at Ye Ruxue. He knew this human woman likely grasped certain intelligence. However right now, with her having landed in Su Chen’s hands, it would be improper for him to probe overly much.

He could only obey Su Chen’s directive to first cooperate to defeat these four creatures. The four black silhouettes had indistinguishable features, each enshrouded in pitch-black mists. At the peak stage of the Great Saint Realm, extreme care would be warranted against them. The instant they exchanged moves, Su Chen became deadlocked in bitter combat with one shadow.

By contrast, the Golden Crow Clan’s middle-aged man had successfully contained two dark creatures by himself. This owed not to anything else, but because the battle strength he revealed from the very start was genuinely daunting. What he displayed was enough to horizontally push back peers. Even Su Chen had to glance his way an extra time. The Golden Crows truly lived up to their infamous reputation as an ancient race, still harboring frightening potential today.

Boom!

Another exchange ensued. Su Chen and his shadowy counterpart traded blows once, both sidling back thousands of miles. Outwardly it seemed a draw this round. But truly it was Su Chen deliberately camouflaging his capabilities. After all, he currently posed as an expert of the White Jade Divine Elephants, in possession of far too many techniques he could not casually unveil.

Even so, that black figure’s battle strength was sufficient to leave Su Chen clicking his tongue in marvel. Just now, even his corporeal form had sensed a hint of ache from the other’s fist. One had to know that apart from enduring the lightning tribulations his physique had undergone tempering thousands-fold, additionally refining endless Black Blood Stones. Among peers, it was difficult for anyone to inflict harm upon him. Yet today this guardian had accomplished precisely that!

Su Chen secretly transmitted to Ye Ruxue, “Could these truly be living creatures?”

From his standpoint, each of these four beings exuded Saint Realm pressure, nearly no different from other living things except for their wordlessness. Moreover, this guardian from earlier could further differentiate equivalently formidable presences based on the trespassers. Such methods had already vastly exceeded Su Chen’s scope of understanding.

Looking over the myriads of worlds, in Su Chen’s mind only the Transferring Qi into Three Clears technique seemed remotely similar to what this guardian had activated. Only by comparison, the approach before them now appeared somewhat inferior..
