Chapter 433: Chapter 432: The Golden Core is but an Ant

Xie Jiuniang’s heart was seized with horror and extreme anger.

At the moment of Hong Yi’s death, it felt as if her blood had frozen. In just the snap of a finger, a living person had died right before her eyes, sacrificing her life to save her!

Only then did Xie Jiuniang realize the Miles Teleportation Talisman in her hand had seemingly become ineffective, as its power dissipated continuously, yet she remained rooted to the spot.

She was locked down by a force.

It was as if there were Spiritual Energy Chains on her, binding her whole body, preventing her from teleporting away or entering her Exclusive Space.

At one end of the chains was Su He of the Su Family, who had achieved Divinity Transformation, well-known for his technique of creating chains with Spiritual Power.

"Regrettable, my strongest strike only killed an ant," said Lord Wenzhong, closing a book.

The book-like Spiritual Artifact was none other than his Exclusive Magic Treasure. He hadn’t expected his most powerful strike, intended to kill the Child of Destiny, to be unexpectedly intercepted by a Nascent Soul who jumped in to save her, and he was unable to use the annihilating move again in a short time.

Jian Lingyan exclaimed, "Master! Save Old He quickly!"

That cry snapped Xie Jiuniang out of her grief and fury, and she immediately became aware of her dire situation.

Hong Yi was dead. Old He had tried to pull Xie Jiuniang to safety, but when he found he couldn’t move her, he attacked the Spiritual Energy Chains on Xie Jiuniang, to no avail, as it was like a moth to the flame. Suddenly, the chains moved, extending one end to pierce through Old He’s pipa bone.

Blood splattered in an instant.

A few warm drops of blood splashed onto Xie Jiuniang’s cheek, and the end of the chain that had gone through turned back around, this time aiming for the back of Old He’s neck!

If the chain pierced through his neck, even immortals couldn’t save him!

At this critical moment, with Old He’s life hanging by a thread, Xie Jiuniang’s brow suddenly twitched.

"Time, stop!"

In the next instant, as the chain pierced the skin, it stopped, and almost simultaneously, the Broken Sword flew out, severing the chain bound to her, and the severed part of the chain’s Spiritual Energy quickly dissipated.

Xie Jiuniang could move again and she stabilized Old He.

Su He was slightly taken aback.

Ever since he achieved Divinity Transformation, every time he used the chains, they carried a thread of the Power of Laws, and they had never been cut before.

The Child of Destiny could!

Indeed, as someone favored by the Heavenly Dao, her strength defied the rules; a mere Golden Core was able to break his Divinity Transformation chains. Had it not happened to him, he would have never believed it.

He then channeled more Power of Laws into the Spiritual Energy Chains and rolled them towards Xie Jiuniang and Old He again.

Xie Jiuniang swung her sword to cut.

Clang!

It didn’t sever this time?

While Xie Jiuniang and Su He were engaged in combat.

On the other side, the situation for Raoyang and his group of five was precarious. When Xie Jiuniang told them to escape, they activated the Teleportation Talismans immediately, as their main target was her, which gave them a moment’s respite.

But during their moment of teleportation, five Divinity Transformation experts acted in unison, forcibly interrupting their teleportation from the void.

They were dragged out from the void.

Ao Xu, venting his anger, killed one of the disciples on the spot with a particularly brutal method, "Even trash dares to run away in front of me?"

Next to him, Nangong, a Divinity Transformation expert holding the immobile Raoyang, frowned and said, "Ao Xu, didn’t you say keeping them alive would be useful?"

"Killing one is no big deal. There are still several others left, which should be enough. According to me, we should just kill her directly, but you insisted on being overly cautious," Ao Xu’s face was ferocious.

Nangong Divinity Transformation discontentedly said, "Just now Wenzhong and Su He teamed up and still didn’t kill her, if you’re so powerful, you go kill."

"If I go then I go!"

Ao Xu’s body surged with spiritual energy as he wiped the fresh blood from his vestment robe and hands. He immediately charged towards Xie Jiuniang with a large saber suddenly appearing in his hand. Swift and ferocious, he hacked at Xie Jiuniang with the force of ten thousand jun.

Raoyang saw his fellow disciples killed and was extremely angry. Seeing that the enemy was going to kill Xie Jiuniang, he was even more furious. However, he was restrained by a force, and despite violently struggling to break free, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, yet he failed to escape.

In the hands of a Divinity Transformation, a Golden Core is like an ant.

As Ao Xu’s saber slashed towards Xie Jiuniang, a barrier was activated, protecting Xie Jiuniang and even He Lao, who she was supporting with one hand.

"Nalan’s old man’s jade token?" Lord Wenzhong immediately identified it.

Su He said expressionlessly, "Chaoyan hails from the Nalan Family, that old man will naturally protect her."

The people of Yunmu City were all saved by that old man.

Ao Xu, appearing almost insane, lifted the large saber and hacked at the barrier over and over. Repelled by the barrier, he returned to strike again and again until the spiritual energy in his body became unstable and his eyes turned blood red, as if he were possessed.

Xie Jiuniang originally wanted to take the opportunity to use another Miles Teleportation Talisman to escape.

But when she saw Raoyang and the others being forcibly pulled from the void, she knew escaping with the teleportation talisman was no longer possible.

"Little Koumen, let me go, you escape quickly! Just avenge us later," He Lao said, gripping his pipa bone injury.

The enemy needed them to distract Xie Jiuniang, so they did not kill them immediately.

He Lao wanted to drag a Divinity Transformation down with him in a self-destruct.

The self-destruction of a Nascent Soul posed no threat to the life of a Divinity Transformation; it could at best buy Xie Jiuniang a little time. However, there were too many Divinity Transformations present that day.

He Lao felt utterly desperate.

Just as Hong Yi had said, Xie Jiuniang was their only hope. If she were to perish here today, did any of them have a chance to survive?

The power disparity was too great; they didn’t stand a fighting chance!

Xie Jiuniang seemed to see through his intention and said as she attempted to break free, "He Lao, I will send you to a place first. Live well. If all of us die today, you must remember to relay the message back to Tianxu Sect and tell my master that it was these people who killed me."

After that, she took out a Shadow Stone and said to it, "Master, Uncle-Master, you must avenge me and Brother Raoyang!"

The Shadow Stone recorded everyone present on the scene.

Lord Wenzhong and others felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, fixating their gaze on the Shadow Stone.

Almost at the same time.

The remaining six Divinity Transformation cultivators attacked Xie Jiuniang together.

Xie Jiuniang stuffed the Shadow Stone into He Lao’s arms and in an instant, she took him into her Exclusive Space, then instructed Little Fatty to take He Lao and the Jade Coffin in the space back to the treasure vault.

Even in her Exclusive Space, people were not safe, for if she died, the Exclusive Space would self-destruct with her.

Little Fatty was not worried, as he was originally an Artifact Spirit and his grade was even higher than her Exclusive Space. Even if the Small Tortoise Shell exploded, Little Fatty would be unharmed.

He Lao’s eyes were bloodshot as he was about to say something.

But Xie Jiuniang simply informed him, not giving him a choice.

He Lao didn’t know what was happening outside as he found himself in the space of the Small Tortoise Shell. Then, Little Fatty crudely threw him into the treasure vault before carefully moving the Jade Coffin.

In the end, noticing the Enlightenment Tea Tree and Cleansing Spiritual Grass beside him, Little Fatty also moved them back to his own treasure vault to care for them.

He didn’t know what was happening outside, but he vaguely sensed that Xie Jiuniang might be facing a great crisis.
