Chapter 2869: Chapter 2889: The True Purpose of Taoist Duan Tian

The Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup suddenly burst into a ferocious fire, instantly converging into terrifying fire dragons.

Taoist Duan Tian’s body radiated with brilliant light, spreading a massive Quasi-Saint coercion between Heaven and Earth.

"Kid, don’t underestimate a Quasi-Saint. Even with my Divine Soul heavily injured, I am not someone you can humiliate!"

With a point of his finger, Taoist Duan Tian converged countless fire dragons into a fiery domain that rushed towards Lin Chen, with the ferocity of a deity slayer, a Buddha killer.

The Five Great Demonic Beasts were startled by this display, astounded by its power!

Can it be withstood?

Although the Five Great Demonic Beasts were frightened, they did not retreat.

After all, there was a Quasi-Saint behind them!

Afraid of what?

All in!

Isn’t this the time to show their worth?

The five Demonic Beasts unleashed their strongest attacks, colliding with the fire dragons that plummeted like a star river.

"Boom!"

Heaven and Earth seemed to split apart, the Five Great Demons screamed as they fell in all directions, the might of the fire dragons greatly diminished, but still ferociously lunging for Lin Chen.

Zhen Liuxue sneered coldly, and without a noticeable move, invisible ripples already spread out, like concentric circles of a pond.

When the fire dragons collided with the ripples, they silently vanished, as if they had never existed.

The typically radiant Taoist Duan Tian froze, his face showing a look of terror as he pointed at Zhen Liuxue: "You... are you a Quasi-Saint?"

Zhen Liuxue curled her lip and paid no attention to Taoist Duan Tian.

Taoist Duan Tian was practically going mad!

What sins had he committed to have chosen such a person?

He had assumed her to be unremarkable, yet here she was a Quasi-Saint, surrounded by many Great Demons. Are you the beloved child of an Immortal Emperor?

Worthy of such heavy protection?

If regrets were of any use, Taoist Duan Tian only wished to give himself a resounding slap and return to the moment of their first encounter, where he certainly would choose someone else.

Or even just going back to earlier would do. He would have honestly handed over the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup and offered some other treasures as a reward to part ways amicably.

In desperation, Taoist Duan Tian suddenly transformed into a streak of light-shadow, charging towards Zhu Yuqiu.

Caught off guard, Zhu Yuqiu’s body stiffened, and Taoist Duan Tian’s Divine Soul had already entered her brow, disappearing from sight.

"Father..."

Zhu Yuqiu had just uttered two words when her pupils suddenly constricted, her gaze instantly becoming dull and lifeless.

The next second, Zhu Yuqiu beckoned and the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup flew towards her, which she grasped in her hand. Her whole being turned into golden light, fleeing outward.

"Hmph!"

Zhen Liuxue scoffed and chased after Zhu Yuqiu.

Lin Chen chuckled and didn’t seem to care.

Even though Zhu Yuqiu was but a Lower Grade Daluo Initial Immortal, with Taoist Duan Tian’s Divine Soul and the support of the Innate Spiritual Treasure, how could she escape from Zhen Liuxue’s grasp?

Zhen Liuxue was a true Quasi-Saint!

Lin Chen glanced at the injured Five Great Demons and asked, "How badly are you hurt?"

Although the Five Great Demons had braced themselves against a hit from a Quasi-Saint and an Innate Spiritual Treasure, they were not lightly injured. However, since Taoist Duan Tian was only a Divine Soul, and an injured one at that, the power was greatly reduced. Otherwise, had it been a full-strength blow, none of the Five Great Demons would have survived.

"It’s manageable; we can take it!"

"Won’t die!"

The Five Great Demons stated their conditions one after another. They all understood that had it not been for them to take on that strike, Lin Chen would not have been harmed at all. But if Lin Chen was the leader, then Zhen Liuxue was the confidant by the leader’s side, an apex expert, and they were the elite soldiers.

In a confrontation with experts, even against an expert, it would not start with pitting the apex expert against them. The soldiers would always go first, otherwise, what use would those soldiers be?

They had weathered the attack, suffered the injuries, and though there was no glory, they could at least claim their toil.

Lin Chen nodded: "Good performance, I’ve taken note."

The Five Great Demons were inwardly delighted. Weren’t they chosen for battle precisely because they were the quickest and most eager to respond?

They were the quickest to realize if they wanted to stand out, they had to fight with all their might!

Lin Chen quietly waited.

Before long, a golden light flashed on the horizon, and Zhen Liuxue’s figure appeared, arriving in front of Lin Chen in the blink of an eye. Behind her, Zhu Yuqiu floated in mid-air, her eyes tightly shut, her face deathly pale, in a state of unconsciousness.

"Where’s Taoist Duan Tian?"

Zhen Liuxue pointed at Zhu Yuqiu, her face showing a strange expression: "Why do you think he wanted you to bring him to his daughter?"

Lin Chen looked at Zhen Liuxue with puzzlement: "Should it be because his daughter has some way to help him?"

Zhen Liuxue laughed: "He lied to his daughter, claiming that since their blood is connected, her body could nourish his Divine Soul. But in fact, he didn’t tell the whole truth. Indeed, he wanted to use his daughter’s body, yet he never planned on giving it back..."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened: "He plans to steal his own daughter’s body for a resurrection?"

Zhen Liuxue nodded: "Yes, the reason is the same one he told Zhu Yuqiu. Since their blood matches, he could avoid many risks in resurrecting himself through her body..."

Lin Chen’s expression turned odd: "His heart is truly ruthless. Putting that aside, wouldn’t he become a woman afterward?"
