Chapter 2935: One Man’s Bloody War of Choice
Bang! The golden spear came crashing down. But before it hit Xia Qingyuan, it shattered and pulverized. It was smashed by a long rod surrounded by divine flames.
Not far above Xia Qingyuan, a ferocious and domineering demon was standing there; it was Zhu Yan the Beast, who had once fought against Ye Futian. Behind him stood the principality of the demon ape clan from the Heavenly Mandate Realm. They spread out and formed a line of defense as a ferocious aura erupted from them. They held long rods in their hands. They were standing in battle formation as if they were guarding and ensuring Xia Qingyuan’s safety.
Above the firmament, a group of cultivators dressed in blue was surrounded by golden radiance as they descended from the sky, looking extremely keen. These were the cultivators from the Human Divine Palace. Like golden gods of war, they carried absolute dominance.
The golden rays of light sprinkled down as those sharp divine arms came down for the kill, cutting through the void.
Zhu Yan the Beast and other demonic cultivators resonated with the energy. He held the long rod and launched it high into the sky, which contained a supreme power. It shattered the void and blocked that group of incoming cultivators. Xia Qingyuan glanced at the battlefield, her robe fluttered. She continued with her task, rushing in another direction as the divine power of life enveloped the boundless space, continuing to heal the wounded.
Buzz! Another spatial divine light pierced through the void; it was aimed at Xia Qingyuan. Although Zhu Yan and other great demons had blocked one group of attackers, many had taken notice of Xia Qingyuan by now and wanted to kill her. Quite a few top figures were trying to get to her themselves.
The spatial divine light directly penetrated the void and pierced through the bodies of several cultivators; however, it continued moving forward, and its aim never veered from Xia Qingyuan.
However, almost at the same moment, a terrifying gigantic palm print blasted down and collided with the divine light in the void. Suddenly, a violent sound came from the space, which could be heard clearly in the surrounding areas.
An extremely tyrannical aura permeated, and another group of cultivators appeared behind Xia Qingyuan. These cultivators turned into a battle matrix and moved forward. Until now, they had not made a move; it seemed that their job was to solely protect Xia Qingyuan.
Xia Qingyuan was a little surprised by this as well. She turned around to look and recognized the people protecting her from behind; they were the cultivators from the Lost Clan.
The cultivators of the Lost Clan had been included in the Great Army of Heavenly Mandate. This force was capable of competing with the forces from all sides in the past, and after Ye Futian’s training, their strength had been further improved. Furthermore, they had gone through the test of battles and had been on the edge of death many times over before they were able to return to the land of the Original Realm. Their resilience was tried and true.
And such a force was protecting her.
Xia Qingyuan suddenly found that a complex emotion filled her heart. Of course, she knew who had arranged all this. Who else could have commanded such a mighty force?
In a major battle like this, everyone was standing in the middle of life and death, and no one had absolute certainty of their survival. On the raging battlefield, there was such a powerful force like this protecting her. Could this be a way of gauging her importance in his heart?
Or maybe because he felt that he owed her?
“Everyone, don’t worry about me; this is a waste of your combat power,” Xia Qingyuan turned around and said to the cultivators of the Lost Clan. Being a top cultivator herself with strong combat effectiveness, a mighty team such as the Lost Clan should not be wasted guarding her.
“Princess Xia has powerful healing ability and plays a great role on the battlefield. Of course, we must ensure the Princess’ safety,” an elder from the Lost Clan replied. “Princess, just focus on doing what you do best; don’t pay any attention to us.”
This kind of explanation somehow seemed to make sense.
However, the situation on Xia Qingyuan’s side seemed to have attracted the attention of many people. In the sky above the battlefield, a group of cultivators from the divine palace were watching Xia Qingyuan closely. They realized that Xia Qingyuan seemed to be the only one on the battlefield who enjoyed some security while no one else enjoyed the same kind of privilege.
More importantly, she was an expert at the divine power of life and possessed a very powerful ability to heal.
“Kill her!”
Above the firmament, a dull sound rang out, resounding throughout the battlefield. Suddenly many cultivators looked in Xia Qingyuan’s direction. For a time, mighty cultivators swarmed in Xia Qingyuan’s direction, turning into a fearsome army.
The Great Army of Heaven Court and the Great Army of Heavenly Mandate also noticed this movement, as they focused their attention on Xia Qingyuan’s direction as well. Many cultivators were turning to Xia Qingyuan as the new target, especially those cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Army. They all knew that Ye Futian had a special relationship with Xia Qingyuan.
Once upon a time, Ye Futian had first emerged out of Emperor Xia’s Realm and was cared for by Emperor Xia and Xia Qingyuan. The two of them spent a lot of time together, and many people thought they were a couple.
Blinding and dazzling divine lights pierced through the battlefield, and they turned out to be a series of arrows. Huang Jiuge had led a group of cultivators to cover the sky with arrows. These divine arrows traversed heaven and earth continuously and took out many cultivators instantaneously.
Those cultivators above the firmament turned into balls of fire and fell from the sky. The sight was astoundingly tragic.
However, this turn of events further accentuated the importance of Xia Qingyuan. Cultivators from the Human Divine Palace converged in this direction. They were all determined to take Xia Qingyuan down and kill her.
In a moment, a vast battlefield quickly formed around Xia Qingyuan, and this battlefield was full of destructive storms.
Above the sky, some divine swords penetrated heaven and earth, turning into a beam of infinite proportion, piercing the sky from top to bottom. The sound of destruction was heard without ceasing, and the cultivators from the Heaven Realm were directly penetrated by the swords and died instantly.
These terrifying divine swords dominated the fate of all beings in this world, passing through many obstacles and aiming directly at Xia Qingyuan.
At this time, a full moon appeared, and the moonlight sprinkled down on those divine swords. These divine swords seemed to be sealed in ice as their speed suddenly slowed down. But more than that, many cultivators above the firmament felt an extreme chill; it was the divine power of Yin that had frozen the world. Time and space seemed to stand still under the power of Yin, and those who did not comprehend this divine power were trapped in its power.
Buzz! The divine arrows bloomed in the sky, piercing the void. Incomparably radiant divine flames bloomed above the void. The radiant arrows shot by Huang Jiuge directly pierced through many cultivators. It seemed as if they had combined the power of the Solar and the Yin. Although this divine power was not the divine power of Solar, it was not too far behind.
In a brief instant, more than a thousand cultivators fell from the void; it was a most horrific and petrifying sight.
Bang! A terrifying divine power erupted as the cultivators from the Human Divine Palace looked down at the area below. They saw a very beautiful woman who was the embodiment of feminine beauty. Like a goddess in the darkest night, the divine power of Yin bloomed from her. In an instant, she had frozen the space, forcing the space to come to a standstill.
This was the goddess of Youyue Divine Palace from the Shadow Realm who had realized the divine power of Yin with the help of Ye Futian. She now unleashed the brilliance of the moon, which transformed into the power of Yin to assist the fight by freezing the space!
