Chapter 1639: Chapter 1636: Break Out of the Storm Circle!

At the moment of Yu Liang’s death, an Elder from the Heavenly Saber Sect in Starry Sky City reached into his storage bag and retrieved several fragmented pieces of a life token. His expression immediately turned icy cold.

In the great halls, the elders of the Seven Major Sects turned their heads to look at the fragments in the hands of the Heavenly Saber Sect Elder. Their expressions froze, and the face of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Elder darkened even further.

"Elder Chen, notify Sword Master immediately. I fear something major is about to happen," one of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Elders said in a low voice to an old man beside him after glancing at the fragments.

The old man’s face darkened, his eyes narrowing harshly. With a solemn nod, he immediately turned and exited the great hall, finding a secluded spot to secretly activate a sound transmission talisman to report the events in Starry Sky City to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

The consecutive deaths of two Holy Son-level warriors were not a trivial matter.

Lin Bai stepped forward, leaping into the second storm circle, his gaze coldly fixed on Wei Tianjun!

Currently, only Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong were in the second storm circle. In the first storm circle were Yan Tuo, Mi Rong, and Yejian Jun. Only these six people had reached the forefront.

"Hmph, Dongfang Bai!" Wei Tianjun snorted coldly, staring at Lin Bai with a fierce and malevolent glare.

Beside Wei Tianjun, Luo Yutong said indifferently, "Senior Brother Wei Tianjun, now is not the time to tangle with Dongfang Bai. Yan Tuo and Yejian Jun are about to break through the first storm circle. We should move immediately!"

Wei Tianjun originally intended to stay and deal with Lin Bai, but upon hearing Luo Yutong’s words, he turned back to see Yan Tuo and Yejian Jun flying ahead with relentless speed.

These three were clearly intending to use Lin Bai’s presence to hinder Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong and thus gain more blood crystals. Realizing this, they no longer hesitated and rushed forward with all their might!

"Let’s go. After we’ve obtained the blood crystals, we’ll come back to slay him!" Wei Tianjun knew it wasn’t the time to linger, so with a flicker of his figure, he ignored Lin Bai and flew straight ahead.

Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong soared together, entering the first storm circle!

"Trying to run?"

Lin Bai’s gaze turned fierce as he advanced, enduring the terrifying power of the storm within the storm circle, and flew into the first storm circle.

"Junior Brother Dongfang, be careful!" Lin Anyang and Lin Luo arrived at the second storm circle and, seeing Lin Bai chasing after Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong, immediately spoke in concern.

Lin Luo didn’t say a word, pausing only briefly in the second storm circle before directly stepping into the first storm circle!

The storm within the first storm circle was even more violent. Even the Holy Son-level warriors could barely endure it for long, which explained why Yejian Jun and Yan Tuo had lingered there for such an extended time!

"Strike!"

Lin Bai surged into the first storm circle, and with the Demonic Sword in hand, he unleashed a ferocious slash. A terrifying and unrivaled Sword Qi flew toward Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong’s backs.

"Dongfang Bai, don’t push your luck!" Wei Tianjun turned abruptly, his gaze fierce.

Luo Yutong’s expression also carried an undeniable coldness.

Wei Tianjun countered with a swift palm strike, shattering Lin Bai’s Sword Qi before continuing forward.

"Once we’ve grabbed the blood crystals, we’ll deal with you!" Luo Yutong’s countenance turned icy as she accelerated her flight, aiming to break through the first storm circle as quickly as possible.

Yan Tuo and Yejian Jun’s speeds were almost neck and neck as they both raced out of the first storm circle.

"Not good! Yan Tuo and Yejian Jun are about to break through!" Lin Bai glanced back, his expression turning grim. Without hesitation, his figure surged, chasing toward the outside of the first storm circle!

Yan Tuo, Yejian Jun, Mi Rong, Wei Tianjun, and Luo Yutong were the first five to move ahead.

Lin Bai followed closely behind them.

Behind Lin Bai were Lin Anyang, Lin Luo, and numerous other Yangshen Realm Elders.

At this point, nearly everyone was unleashing their full strength, striving to break out of the first storm circle to seize the blood crystals!

"They’re approaching the blood crystals. Yejian Jun and Yan Tuo are likely to be the first ones to make it out."

"Heavens! So many blood crystals—how many can these people possibly acquire?"

"If these Holy Son-level and monster-level warriors manage to obtain those blood crystals, their strength will rise to an unimaginable level!"

Outside the nine storm circles, countless warriors exclaimed in awe.

Swish—

Just then, Yejian Jun was the first to break free from the storm circle. As he reached the area filled with blood crystals, his eyes gleamed, and with a sweep of his sleeve, he stored a swath of blood crystals into his storage bag.

Afterward, Yan Tuo and Mi Rong swiftly followed, their faces lighting up with joy upon seeing the abundance of blood crystals!

Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong followed closely behind.

"These blood crystals belong to my Luotian Sect! Anyone who doesn’t want to die, get out of here!" Yan Tuo exclaimed coldly, his icy gaze sweeping across the scene, especially landing on Yejian Jun and Lin Bai.

After scooping up a considerable amount of blood crystals, Yejian Jun’s eyes darkened. Hearing Yan Tuo’s words, he turned and leaped toward the Cloud Sky above, seemingly intent on escaping!

Seeing Yejian Jun fleeing, Yan Tuo didn’t attempt to stop him, unaware that Yejian Jun was actually heading toward the skeleton remains.

"Yan Tuo, with so many blood crystals here, your Luotian Sect attempting to take them all would be a bit overreaching, don’t you think?" Wei Tianjun responded coldly. "Why not join forces instead? Let’s split these blood crystals evenly between my Saint Seal Sect and your Luotian Sect—what do you say?"

Yan Tuo hesitated but didn’t immediately reply.

Luo Yutong interjected, "There are still other strong warriors behind us. Although Yu Liang from Heavenly Saber Sect and Yang Changdong from Fenxin Sect have already been killed, their Saintesses are still alive. Besides, there are plenty of Yangshen Realm warriors further back..."

"If we start fighting now, wouldn’t it just benefit them?"

Luo Yutong said coldly, her eyes locking onto Yan Tuo.

Mi Rong spoke softly, "Senior Brother Yan Tuo, I think Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong have a point. If we clash with the Saint Seal Sect now, the ones who’ll benefit will be the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect—Lin Anyang and Lin Luo are still behind us."

Yan Tuo narrowed his eyes and coldly responded, "Fine. Wei Tianjun, I’ll accept your proposal!"

Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong’s expressions eased as they stepped forward to the black flag, gazing coldly at the storm circle.

At that moment.

Lin Bai stepped out of the storm circle, arriving at the black flag. Seeing the four figures standing shoulder to shoulder ahead, staring him down coldly, Lin Bai’s expression stiffened.

"Warriors, this area has been claimed by my Saint Seal Sect and Luotian Sect. If you don’t want to die, leave immediately!"

"As for you, Dongfang Bai... Don’t even dream of leaving here alive today!"

Wei Tianjun glared at Lin Bai, the flames of rage in his eyes erupting uncontrollably!

"Everyone else may leave, and we’ll spare your lives. But not you..." Yan Tuo stared coldly at Lin Bai, a murderous glint flashing at the corners of his mouth!

Yan Tuo, Mi Rong, Wei Tianjun, and Luo Yutong—these four had broken through the storm circle merely a breath before Lin Bai. Other than the blood crystals Yejian Jun had taken, both Yan Tuo and Wei Tianjun had missed the opportunity to snatch any blood crystals and now faced Lin Bai’s arrival...

Thus, they decided to forgo collecting blood crystals momentarily to focus on killing Lin Bai!
