Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

A warrior who was about to pounce on Chen Yu was struck by the purple electric current. His body instantly fell to the ground.    

After using the Purple Lightning Ring once again, Chen Yu panted heavily. He reached his hand out and pulled out the long sword on his shoulder, crazily controlling the Spirit Connecting Vine s in his body to heal.    

However, the injury this time was just too severe and the Spirit Connecting Vine was unable to heal it in a short period of time.    

Clang *    

The blood flame condensed onto the blade of the Wind Stabilization Blade once again. Chen Yu raised his blade to block and after barely blocking a sword, he suddenly pounced forward.    

Another person to be killed! However, the price Chen Yu paid was a sword coming from his left side and stabbing into his body.    

Chen Yu could feel the fatigue in his body.    

If it wasn't for Qiu Hao's help, Chen Yu would have been able to hold out for a while.    

Shua, shua, shua. The Sword Qi of the Vast Expanse intersected and attacked.    

Chen Yu suddenly waved his hand and an icy blue light flew out. Following Chen Yu's wave, it landed on a Martial Cultivator of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage and the warrior suddenly stopped. His body fell to the ground, covered in frost.    

But the other warrior's sword still managed to deflect Chen Yu's Wind Stabilization Blade by a hair's breadth, and the tip of the sword still swept past Chen Yu's body.    

Behind Chen Yu, there were also four or five warriors of the seventh floor of the Heavenly Astral Stage rushing over.    

Chen Yu grabbed the Disguised Spirit Artifact at his waist and was about to throw it out, once again striving to win the opportunity to breathe.    

Right at this moment, a figure rushed over with a clap of his hand. A majestic and unbridled astral aura materialized into a giant hand and suddenly descended from the sky.    

BOOM *    

After the big hand exploded, the few warriors behind Chen Yu exploded and staggered back while spitting blood. When they saw the face of this person, they turned around and ran away in panic.    

In the blink of an eye, that figure was already in front of Chen Yu and pointed at a warrior who was slashing a sword at Chen Yu.    

The sharp aura of his finger, along with the spirit light of Mo Yu, directly penetrated the martial artist's forehead.    

Chen Yu's body swayed as he turned around to look at the incoming person. The person had a serious face, a calm expression and an unfathomable aura. It was Ye Qing.    

"If you had come half a minute later, you would have been able to collect my corpse!" Chen Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief, but he still said indifferently to Ye Qing.    

"Chen Yu, I'm sorry!" Ye Qing looked a bit ashamed as he said, "To confirm that Hong Feeng, Zhong Shiyue, has fallen into his trap, we have to wait for him to depart first. We also have to remove the spies left behind on the way, so we came late!"    

Ye Qing lowered his attitude so much that Chen Yu couldn't blame him anymore.    

In reality, although Chen Yu and Ye Qing had a tacit understanding, they did not say the details and discuss them properly. Ye Qing did not really let him down.    

Chen Yu pointed his sword at the ground and said, "With this kind of thing happening, it's my bad luck. Let's quickly end the battle!"    

Ye Qing waved his hand and two warriors rushed over.    

"Protect Young Master Chen well!" With these words, Ye Qing's body flashed and he leisurely walked toward the warriors who were still fighting.    

Chen Yu looked around the whole entrance of the Falling Cloud Valley and saw that the many warriors who came with Ye Qing had formed a group of two or three people and attacked the warriors surrounding Chen Yu. Wherever they went, the loose but unorganized warriors were unable to defend against them.    

The battle was already in a one-sided situation.    

Ye Qing did not actually bring many warriors, only around twenty people. However, all of them had a dragon-like aura and their moves were sharp.    

On the other hand, the warriors who were originally surrounding and attacking Chen Yu all had panicked and frightened looks on their faces due to the appearance of Ye Qing and the others. They didn't have any fighting spirit to speak of.    

The moment Ye Qing appeared, the battle was about to end!    

Gongsun Hao and Zhong Shiyue were still together, but Zhong Shiyue was in dire straits.    

Shen Yih was battling three martial practitioners of the seventh level of Heavenly Astral Stage. His astral energy was unrestrained and powerful, and no matter what methods the enemy used, he would be able to block them all.    

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qing had already arrived beside a few warriors who were trembling. He then slapped his palm and the Astral Energy turned into an eagle claw that was aimed at a warrior's head. The warriors who were fighting immediately rushed over and killed the warrior.    

Ye Qing did not stop as he continued to attack. His Astral Energy was extremely refined and every strike would hit a fatal point, causing a rapid change in the battle situation.    

Suddenly, Chen Yu saw a dazzling light appear on Zhong Shiyue's sword. The sword intent was strong to the extreme. The sword aura was like a storm as it swept towards Gongsun Hao.    

Gongsun Hao held a long sword in his hand and took a step back to avoid the sharp edge as he also unleashed a sharp sword attack.    

Unexpectedly, just as Gongsun Hao was about to retreat, Zhong Shiyue suddenly twisted his body and leaped up. His Astral Qi floated as he madly dashed towards the valley.    

Gongsun Hao's attack missed. His expression turned ugly as he chased after Ye Chen in a hurry. However, he was still too slow and couldn't catch up in time.    

In an instant, a flash of spiritual light flashed past the empty space and struck right at Zhong Shiyue, who was running for his life.    

A bloody light appeared and Zhong Shiyue's body shook. The Astral Energy around his body was instantly dispersed.    

Gongsun Hao was stunned for a moment. With a flash, he caught up to Zhong Shiyue and stabbed him with his sword.    

"I am willing to surrender, I surrender!" Zhong Shiyue shouted with a pale face and blood at the corner of his mouth.    

However, the sword light pierced Zhong Shiyue's throat without any hesitation.    

After killing Zhong Shiyue with a single slash, Gongsun Hao grinned and casually grabbed Zhong Shiyue's Storage Bag.    

With Zhong Shiyue's death, the remaining people no longer had any desire to fight and quickly broke out of the encirclement.    

However, with Ye Qing around, breaking out of the encirclement wouldn't be easy. Only four or five warriors out of the thirty plus warriors would be able to escape.    

The battle was over.    

Shen Yih strode over to Chen Yu, looked him up and down, and said, "Looks like it's very tragic!"    

"Thank you!" Chen Yu cupped his hands and said.    

"Do you want me to apply the medicine for you? Hmm, for a beauty to grieve for you in such a way, it seems you don't need me to do anything else!" Halfway through his words, Shen Yih turned around and revealed a teasing smile.    

Chen Yu looked towards the direction where Shen Yih turned and saw Mo Shu running towards him with tears on her face. Behind her, Mo Jie followed closely. A few times, she tried to pull Mo Shu away, but Mo Shu always shook her hand off.    

"I must get my spirit weapon back!" Chen Yu couldn't be bothered with Shen Yih's mischievous expression and said: "Water attributed Spiritual Whip, fire attributed middle tier Spirit Sword, Willow Leaf Knife."    

Every time Chen Yu announced a name, Shen Yih's face became more and more excited.    

Weapons of this level like Spirit Treasures were undoubtedly precious treasures to Heavenly Astral Stage practitioners. Even Shen Yih couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he found out that Chen Yu had so many Spirit Treasures.    

One or two spirit artifacts were considered normal, but these many spirit artifacts were a bit too many.    

"That woman called Jun Che must have some feelings for you, right? Now, another one, how do you expect them to get along? " Shen Yih replied with a mischievous smile.    

"What does it have to do with you?" Hearing Shen Yih's obvious schadenfreude, Chen Yu did not expect Shen Yih to reveal such a side to a person as gentle as jade. His mouth twitched as he bluntly said.    

"Ha ha!" Shen Yih laughed heartily. After summoning two warriors and giving them instructions, he left in big strides.    

Mo Shu walked up to Chen Yu. Her face was already covered in tears. When she saw that Chen Yu was covered in blood and seemed to be completely fine, more tears came out.    

Chen Yu said helplessly: "Don't cry anymore. Treat my wounds and apply some medicine!"    

With the Spirit Connecting Vine in his body, Chen Yu's injuries were not as serious as they appeared to be. However, Spirit Connecting Vine were indeed exhausted, and Chen Yu did not want to reveal the special effects of Spirit Connecting Vine, so he naturally had to deal with them.    

Only then did Mo Shu stop her tears. She helped Chen Yu take off his clothes and took out the medicine to treat his injuries.    

Mo Shu's bare hands were trembling. She had only applied one or two wounds, but tears once again blurred her eyes.    

In the end, it was Mo Jie who could not bear to watch any longer. She snatched the Gold Injury Medicine from Mo Shu's hands and gave it to Chen Yu carefully.    

As soon as Chen Yu finished applying the medicine, the battlefield had already been cleaned up by the strong Martial Cultivator of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage, and Chen Yu's Spirit Weapon was also found and delivered by Shen Yih's ordered warriors. The other weapons were still there, but only the water Spiritual Whip from Situ Lan could not be found, probably picked up by some escaping martial artist.    

Although it was a pity, Chen Yu did not care too much about it. Although the water Spiritual Whip was powerful, Chen Yu was indeed not proficient in whip techniques and could not display its power.    

Chen Yu also heard the result of this battle from Ye Qing.    

Zhong Shiyue and Qiu Hao had died, but Hong Feeng had escaped in time. After his fight with Shen Yih and the futile siege of Shen Yih, he found an opportunity to quietly escape. Even Zhong Shiyue had not yet been notified of his escape.    

Aside from that, Zhi Yuan City's King, Xiao Zheng, as well as Zhang Ling and the rest from Tianshui City had all perished. Even though they saw that the situation could not be changed, they were all killed without mercy like Zhong Shiyue.    

These two people were quite pitiful. Originally, they had nothing to do with this matter. However, they were incited by Hong Feeng and Zhong Shiyue to participate in this matter. In the end, they died.    

After tidying up the battlefield, Ye Xin brought Luo Lieh and the others out of their hiding place and returned.    

On the way back to the martial arts valley, Mo Shu never left Chen Yu's side.    

The next day, Ye Qing sent someone to give a Storage Bag to Chen Yu.    

Amongst the Storage Bag, there were the rewards from the battle at the Falling Cloud Valley. There were a total of four of them, and Chen Yu was one of them.    

Chen Yu was surprised that Ye Qing directly divided the harvest into four parts. However, he did not reject it and put it all away without any hesitation.    

Afterwards, Chen Yu let Luo Lieh and Mo Jie build a wooden house on a hill not far away from the Martial Arts Valley to heal their injuries and cultivate.    

As for Luo Lieh, Mo Jie, and Su Guan, they cultivated every day. From time to time, they would go to the Hero Association to participate in a martial arts competition and temper their martial skills.    

Chen Yu declared to Ye Qing and Gongsun Hao that he was recuperating from his injuries. In fact, in just three to five days, Chen Yu's injuries had already healed and he had returned to his peak condition. However, Chen Yu did not say that his injuries had completely recovered, and he still wrapped himself with wounds and rejected the good intentions of Jun Che and Mo Shu.    

Jun Che and Mo Shu also built a hut, beside Chen Yu's hut. The two of them could feel the other's threat, but surprisingly, they did not quarrel with him. Instead, they appeared to be in harmony with him.    

If it wasn't because of Chen Yu's sharp eyes and the fact that the two of them often stared coldly at each other with their backs facing him, Chen Yu would have been fooled by the harmony they showed in front of him.    

Fortunately, Chen Yu was saved a lot of trouble in this situation, so he pretended to not know about the strange relationship between the two girls. Everyday, he would just train non-stop and occasionally drink with Gongsun Hao and Shen Yih, waiting for the end of the City Battle Trial.
