Man Tianyinâs words made many people lower their heads in shame. Most people spoke of Jiang Chen viciously because they were displeased by his fameâit could be said bluntly that they did it out of jealousy. Moreover, since someone was fighting against him, they got a chance to give vent to their feelings, and they had been happy to dispose of Jiang Chen. But after Man Tianyin spoke, people who had not lost their minds expressed the same belief, which was that Jiang Chen didnât make any mistakes.
âSirs, letâs settle this matter now. In spite of everything, the Human Emperor Bow belongs to him, and we still have to kill the Evil Blood Emperor.â Xiao Yuan spoke diplomatically and settled the matter. He acted as if this affair wasnât related to him. Jiang Chen sized up this guy. A while ago, the crowdâs emotions had been stirred up by him. But it was unknown whether he had done it intentionally. Jiang Chen wasnât so naive that he would believe that the guy didnât do it on purpose.
After this, Jiang Chen still didnât forget to express his thanks to Man Tianyin. Her expression changed quickly, and the familiarity he had felt for the old Man Tianyin disappeared, and she recovered her previous dejected look.
âMan Tianyin, the person you spoke about previously isnât any longer in the world, is he?â Jiang Chen asked.
âThat is right, he was killed by a sl*t,â Man Tianyin gritted her teeth and spoke.
Jiang Chen recalled his wedding day. Tianyinâs family had also been there. Jiang Chen couldnât help but apologize to Xiao Nuo inwardly.
âSince this is the case, why are you distancing yourself from me even though you donât want to separate from me?â Jiang Chen asked curiously.
âBut this feeling is quite strange, as Iâm in love with two people at the same time.â
âAs a matter of fact...â Jiang Chen prepared himself to divulge the truth, but when he had just started speaking, his expression changed drastically. This was also the case for everyone here with sharp senses. The crowd in the safe zone looked at the mass of black clouds in the distant sky that was closing in on them.
âThose arenât black clouds, but Blood Clan members.â
Alarmed cries echoed all around repeatedly, as this was the largest number of Blood Clan members ever seen by anyone, and they were coming from all directions. There was no way out.
âIt doesnât matter, we are in the safe zone.â Someone was still trying to comfort himself.
But the Blood Clan members were also aware of this matter. Yet they were still taking this action. All the people got a restless feeling. When only 1,000 yards were left until the Blood Clanâs Great Army reached the safe zone, the Blood Clan members were obstructed by a formless barrier. Black smoke would rise from the bodies of any Blood Clan members that came in contact with the barrier, as if they had been struck by lightning, and they would be turned into ashes.
The crowd heaved a sigh of relief. The safe zone was still effective. However, the next thing that occurred made peopleâs hearts rise up to their throats. The Blood Clan members paid no attention to the barrier and ran right into it and sacrificed themselves to push the barrier. As they pushed it forward, the 1,000-yards distance turned into 900 yards, 800 yards... They were closing in.
The crowdâs sight was already obstructed, and they couldnât see distant locations.
âLetâs take advantage of the fact that we are still protected, and letâs attack.â Jiang Chen looked at the crowd that was still in a daze and shouted loudly. Jiang Chen weaved hand signs with a single hand and used the Sky-burning Fury Technique. At this moment, his sea of flames displayed amazing effects, and more than 10,000 Blood Clan members were killed by it.
But what made peopleâs scalps numb was that despite this the fire didnât manage to penetrate the Blood Clan army. They were like a thick wall, and, even if an enormous hole in the wall had been made by the flames, the wall was still firm and stable.
âThere are at least 100 million Blood Clan members out there.â
âItâs only the Evil Emperor that can maneuver so many Blood Clan members. Will we all die here?â
âThis is a ploy. They have called us here to let the Blood Clan catch all of us.â
Desperate cries echoed throughout the crowd endlessly, while panic and fright infected everyoneâs minds.
What a group of trash! Jiang Chen cursed inwardly.
These people were Martial Emperors. Yet, they still werenât acting mature and getting a grip on themselves. This would have been an impossible occurrence 500 years ago.
The 500-year period gained by the Sovereign Spirit Palace let us nurture countless young experts. But a large number of them are good-for-nothings.
âShut up!â As Jiang Chen pondered inwardly, he let out an angry shout that stunned everyone. âThe safe zone isnât safe any longer, but it doesnât matter whether this is a ploy or whether the Evil Blood Emperor has controlled people. In any case, we mustnât stay here and wait for death. Letâs break through the siege. The experts will open up a path at the front, while the other people will also join in.â
Jiang Chenâs speech was quite effective, and the crowdâs panic was alleviated.
âLetâs go!â Jiang Chen pulled Man Tianyinâs wrist and asked Yiya and the others to follow them.
âDonât trust him. The safe zone is quite safe. We just have to persevere here and exterminate the Blood Clan.â
âJiang Chen isnât reliable, and he wants us to go throw our lives away.â
When the crowd was about to follow Jiang Chen out to break the siege, voices that created a disturbance echoed out one after the other. Many people became hesitant due to this, while the Sacred Lord Listâs top ten still didnât say anything. If they could affirm that the barrier wouldnât persevere, they would all give an order decisively and make a wise decision. But the issue was that they couldnât affirm this matter, while the Sacred Spirits didnât pass down any commands.
A personâs wisdom can be revealed when he has to make a decision regarding unknown matters.
âSomeone is making a disturbance.â Jiang Chenâs heart sank. He wasnât the sole person who had such an opinion, as anyone who faced the Blood Clan members that covered both the land and the sky, would realize that they shouldnât just sit and wait for death.
âWonât you say anything?â Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Yuan. This guyâs opinion was quite important
âAre you sure that the barrier canât persevere?â
Xiao Yuan killed Blood Clan members while he questioned Jiang Chen. His fingers were outside the barrier, while he wore a vicious gaze. It turned out that when the barrier was pushed up to the 500-yard radius, it started deflecting the attacks and it obstructed the Blood Clan attacks.
âHateful! Jiang Chen wants to harm us.â
âHe has sinister intentions, he has sinister intentions.â
âHe has surely been possessed by an evil spirit.â
When people noticed this, they started raining down curses on Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didnât say anything else, and he swept the Blood Clan members with his eyes. He got a restless feeling that was only becoming more intense.
âJiang Chen, what should we do?â Yiya and her companions raised a question.
Man Tianyin exerted her power on her arm and didnât let Jiang Chen pull her as he wanted any longer.
âBelieve me, I didnât disappoint you 500 years ago, and I also wonât do so now,â Jiang Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Man Tianyin was taken aback for a moment before she raised her head in surprise while wearing a complex expression.
âGet ready to go out.â This was an emergency, and Jiang Chen didnât have enough time to say much about this matter. The Immeasurable Ruler transformed and took a spearâs shape. Just after this, Jiang Chen threw it out like a pike. The golden spear was unstoppable, and the Blood Clan members in its way were turned into ashes. An opening was also made by it, and Jiang Chen brought with him his acquaintances and followed the golden spear to break out of the siege.
What was terrifying was that even after they flew for more than a dozen seconds, they still hadnât managed to escape, and their surroundings were filled with badly mangled Blood Clan members. The golden spearâs might started weakening, and Jiang Chen was forced to call Xiao Yingâs name.
Bark! A dogâs bark echoed from the golden spear, while Xiao Ying appeared, and stepped on the golden spear. He was wearing a solemn expression. When Xiao Ying was about to collapse, the golden spear finally managed to penetrate the Blood Clanâs wall, and the crowd got to reach the outside. When they turned their heads to take a look back, they discovered that the 1,000-yard-long channel was being closed from the other end by countless Blood Clan members.
âOh my God!â Yiya cried out in surprise. She couldnât see from outside the safe zone into the interior.
âThis is...â
When the safe zone people witnessed that Jiang Chen had really managed to get out, they became hesitant.
âHe has escaped because he has a guilty conscience. Itâs surely him that lured us here.â
âIt doesnât matter, we have the barrier, and we donât need to worry about anything.â
The crowd that drew help from the barrier looked down upon the Blood Clan members, and they were killing them.
All of a sudden, the crowdâs scalps became numb, while their pupils enlarged.
The barrier that was at the 500-yard-radius didnât persist for long, and it started contracting once again. But this time, it occurred at a higher speed.
500 yards, 400 yards, 300 yards...
âD*mn it! Jiang Chen wasnât mistaken.â
