Terran Guardian - Chapter 4110

Chapter 4085: Interception

At this moment,

the Yaotai Holy Land had been utterly defeated.

Qi Xiu, looking disheveled and ashamed, stared at Qi Yuan beside him with disbelief.

“Brother, we still had a chance of winning this battle, why did we leave!”

In his view

, Qi Yuan’s injuries weren’t serious, and he wasn’t entirely without a chance against Shen Changqing.

As long as Qi Yuan could hold off Shen Changqing, they were confident they could gradually suppress the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Once they had wiped out all the cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, turning their attention to attacking Shen Changqing would be a piece of cake.

But

Qi Yuan’s defeat

led to this complete loss.

It was impossible for Qi Xiu not to feel resentment.

Qi Yuan glanced at the other party, then looked at the other elders, finally took a deep breath, and spoke in a deep voice: “The Sage has sent word that the Imperial Sword Dao Sect has breached the Holy Land and is wreaking havoc.

Not only has the Holy Land suffered heavy losses, but the Imperial Sword Dao Sect is also leading a large army straight towards Taiyuan Prefecture.

Their goal is simple: to use this opportunity to surround and kill us all here.

If we don’t leave now, we will all perish in Taiyuan Prefecture.”

“What!”

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators’ expressions changed drastically.

Even Qi Xiu’s eyes showed horror.

The Holy Land had fallen!

This was something none of them had anticipated.

According to their original plan, even if the Imperial Sword Dao Sect really attacked, with the foundation of the Yaotai Holy Land, holding out for a period of time would not be a problem.

But—

how long had it been?

The Holy Land had fallen.

For the cultivators of the Yaotai Holy Land, this was nothing short of the sky falling.

Qi Yuan said, “The Imperial Sword Dao Sect is determined to destroy our Yaotai Holy Land this time. Even with the intervention of Ancestor Lingchen, they couldn’t make them retreat. The

die is cast, and we must return now.

Otherwise, with the Imperial Sword Dao Sect and the Seven Profound Dao Sect joining forces, we have no chance of victory!”

This was the reason for Qi Yuan’s decisive retreat.

Ultimately,

it was because the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s strength was far beyond his expectations.

If the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s strength were average, his side could quickly eliminate them and then consolidate their forces to deal with the Imperial Sword Dao Sect—that would be foolproof.

Unfortunately—

all his plans ultimately failed because he misjudged the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s strength.

Thinking of Shen Changqing’s strength, a deep sense of apprehension appeared on Qi Yuan’s face.

It was hard to imagine that the other party was merely a recently awakened First Tribulation Half-Saint.

Although Qi Yuan could see that Shen Changqing was carrying an unparalleled treasure, even so, the other party’s strength was not to be underestimated.

“That long mace and that bell are definitely not just innate imperial weapons; they are very likely comparable to creation treasures.

I never expected a cultivator who ascended from the lower realm to have such a foundation!”

Qi Yuan said coldly.

As he spoke, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

Creation treasures!

Even saints would be tempted by such treasures.

If he could possess such a treasure, Qi Yuan was confident that he would fear nothing below the saint level.

However—

Qi Yuan also knew that

such treasures were destined to be out of his reach.

Not only had the Yaotai Holy Land suffered a crushing defeat in this battle, but even the Wusheng Youdu had lost two treasures, so seizing creation treasures was a pipe dream.

Upon hearing this, many powerful figures from the Yaotai Holy Land were also somewhat shocked: “Creation treasures… I never expected the Seven Profound Dao Sect to have such a foundation!”

“You all spread the news of creation treasures later. I don’t believe other cultivators will be able to sit still.”

A flash of killing intent appeared in Qi Yuan’s eyes.

If you can’t have it yourself, then destroy it.

Since the Seven Profound Dao Sect is so powerful that the Yaotai Holy Land can’t destroy it, then use cultivators from other forces to deal with the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

The allure of a Creation Treasure is enough to tempt many ancient beings.

Although the Jiang family’s reputation is worthy of fear, not all cultivators will fear the Jiang family.

Not to mention,

with the temptation of a Creation Treasure before them.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu and the other cultivators immediately understood the other party’s intention and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards,

Qi Yuan didn’t dare to delay and directly led the remaining cultivators straight to the Yaotai Holy Land.

However—

less than half a day later ,

Qi Yuan stopped.

In the void, a large army stood, and at the head was a figure exuding a terrifying aura, which made Qi Yuan’s face turn ugly.

“Jian Xiaozi!”

The cultivators of the Yaotai Holy Land were on high alert.

“Lord Qi, it’s been a long time since we last met. Why are you in such a sorry state?”

Jian Xiaozi’s words to Qi Yuan carried a hint of mockery, but a fleeting look of surprise crossed his eyes.

He had already received news of the Yaotai Holy Land’s defeat and had intercepted them immediately.

However,

when Jian Xiaozi saw Qi Yuan’s disheveled state,

he was still somewhat shocked. He knew Qi Yuan’s strength all too well.

In a direct confrontation, he himself wasn’t confident he could suppress him.

Yet,

Shen Changqing had severely injured him.

Such strength naturally alarmed Jian Xiaozi.

But this was for the best; with Qi Yuan injured and his strength greatly diminished, eliminating him would be much easier.

Qi Yuan’s face was grim, and his tone was icy: “Jian Xiaozi, does your Yujian Dao Sect truly intend to wage war against us?

Even if we are injured, if we fight to the death, your Yujian Dao Sect will not fare any better.”

“If you step aside, I promise to forgive and forget your actions against my Yaotai Holy Land!”

“Forgive and forget?”

Jian Xiaozi seemed to have heard a joke, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

“It’s rather surprising to hear these words from you, Qi Yuan.

It’s just a pity that your Yaotai Holy Land is ultimately unlucky.

Now is the best opportunity to destroy your Yaotai Holy Land. If you were me, would you let this opportunity pass?”

Upon hearing this, Qi

Yuan fell silent.

He had already understood Jian Xiaozi’s attitude.

The other party was determined to use this opportunity to kill them all here to eliminate future troubles.

Indeed,

if he were Jian Xiaozi, Qi Yuan would do the same.

After all, if this opportunity was missed, it wouldn’t be so easy to find another chance later.

But the problem was,

Qi Yuan was not Jian Xiaozi.

Today, it was he who was trapped in a deadly situation.

In that instant,

Qi Yuan suddenly made his move, unleashing a powerful force. The Great Dao River pierced through heaven and earth, and its terrifying power pressed down on the Yujian Dao Sect like a tidal wave.

“Break through with all your might! Save as many as you can!”

Qi Yuan shouted sharply the moment he made his move. The cultivators of Yaotai Holy Land reacted suddenly and, without saying anything more, scattered and broke through.

Seeing this, Jian Xiaozi’s face turned cold, and his eyes were filled with icy intent.

“Kill! Leave no one alive from Yaotai Holy Land. Those who kill Ancient Immortals or below will be rewarded with 100,000 mid-grade immortal stones, and those who kill Immortal Emperors will be rewarded with 100,000 high-grade immortal stones.”

“If you can slay a half-saint, I’ll reward you with three half-saint-level rare treasures!”

As he spoke, Jian Xiaozi stepped into the void, and in an instant, his sword energy surged like a rainbow, charging towards Qi Yuan.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators were greatly encouraged, no longer having any reservations, and frantically attacked the Yaotai Holy Land.

The forces that had arrived this time were not just the Yujian Dao Sect, but also other longevity forces.

Originally,

the other longevity forces were indifferent to the Yujian Dao Sect’s plan to completely destroy the Yaotai Holy Land.

After all, with the Yaotai Holy Land fallen, the resources that needed to be divided had already been divided up, and destroying Qi Yuan and other cultivators would not be very meaningful.

At most,

it would just reduce the threat.

But the problem was that the attack on the Yaotai Holy Land was spearheaded by the Yujian Dao Sect. Even if Qi Yuan wanted revenge, the Yujian Dao Sect would be at the forefront, supporting him. The power of these forces was not a major concern.

On the contrary,

the strength of Qi Yuan and his fellow cultivators was astonishing, and if they were to launch a counterattack in their final moments, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore,

these longevity-building forces had all decided to let the Imperial Sword Dao Sect and the Yaotai Holy Land fight to the death, while they themselves would simply sit back and watch.

But now things were different.

With Jian Xiaozi offering such a reward, how could the other forces sit idly by?

Half-saint level natural treasures were incredibly tempting to the top experts of these forces, and even for the lower-level cultivators, 100,000 mid-grade immortal stones were an astonishing attraction.

So—

when Jian Xiaozi finished speaking, all forces frantically attacked, fearing that if they were even a fraction slower, their heads would be snatched by other cultivators.

Under these circumstances, the Yaotai Holy Land was instantly at a disadvantage.

“Boom!”

“Boom!!!” “

In the vast void, two figures clashed. The mighty river of the Great Dao surged forth, its evolving rules and domains descending, eighteen cosmic phantoms suppressing the heavens and earth, their terrifying power sweeping across all directions.

Under normal circumstances, Qi Yuan’s strength would be no less than Jian Xiaozi’s.

If they were to fight to the death, the outcome would be uncertain.

But alas,

Qi Yuan had just experienced a great battle, his strength depleted, and he himself was severely injured, even losing the two supreme treasures, Wusheng Youdu.

Now, Qi Yuan’s strength was at most sixty or seventy percent of his peak.

As for Jian Xiaozi,

the battle to attack the Yaotai Holy Land had not depleted his strength much, and he was now maintaining his peak condition.

With this disparity, Qi Yuan was naturally no match.

The two exchanged blows for less than a moment, and Qi Yuan had already fallen into a disadvantageous position, his injuries becoming increasingly severe, his robes stained with blood, his face filled with shock and anger.

“Jian Xiaozi, don’t go too far!”

“Heh, if not now, when?” “Today, Heaven has decreed the destruction of your Yaotai Holy Land, and no one can change that!”

Jian Xiaozi laughed loudly, his attacks growing increasingly fierce, giving Qi Yuan no chance to breathe.

Under such onslaught, the latter became somewhat flustered, his injuries gradually increasing, and his aura becoming chaotic and weak.

Seeing Jian Xiaozi’s relentless determination to kill him, Qi Yuan was both shocked and furious, while simultaneously searching for a way out.

But looking around, he saw Yaotai Holy Land cultivators falling one after another; their defeat was inevitable, and finding a glimmer of hope was far from easy.

Seeing this,

Qi Yuan felt a sense of despair.
