Chapter 595: Chaotic Chase (I)

Chapter 595: Chaotic Chase (I)

The mighty spear made of deep-blue water smashed through this bronze shield that had appeared out of nowhere. The shield wavered for a brief moment before collapsing. The attack was too powerful and broke it with relative ease. However, the attack also suffered a substantial loss of destructive power and was no longer able to contend against the far more resilient defensive array beneath. The golden and much brighter protective shield flashed once and did not falter like before.

The spear dissipated, splashing cold water on Sun Tan's limp figure that remained unharmed.

Another protective array? Audacious! Qin Shuier said and quickly summoned another spear.

Su Tan was too astonished the say anything, not that she would have admitted that this strange bronze shield wasnt hers. She had no idea what was happening but it felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest. She had been prepared to die but she was suddenly filled with hope. Perhaps this was the heavens protecting her.

Qin Shuier attacked again, then again.

But the result was the same.

The bronze shield reappeared every time. Although its spiritual might wasnt at the Spirit King Realm, it was like an endless well that continuously gushed with spiritual energy. Such a thing appearing out of thin air was impossible. Neither woman could comprehend it but for Chen Wentian, it was a simple matter. He had long since hidden Chen Mo in the shadows beneath Su Tans naked figure. He then cast the defensive ability unique to the Cloudy Bronze Parasol to protect her life.

Although the defensive item was not present, he could still summon its resident soul. The Bronze Armored Lizard was a cowardly beast that focused solely on defense as its way of survival. Its innate ability was called Bronze Barricade and could still be utilized outside of the parasol given enough spiritual energy.

If he was still at the Spirit Lord Realm, using Bronze Barricade by proxy like this would have expended a tremendous amount of spiritual energy and left him in a vulnerable position. It was a good thing that he was a Spirit King now so he had plenty to spare. As for the efficacy of the shielding ability, since the Bronze Armored Lizard soul was still at the Spirit Lord Realm, its Bronze Barricade ability would naturally be at the Spirit Lord Realm as well. It wasnt able to completely hold off a brand-new Spirit Kings attack but it didnt need to do that. Just blunting the attack was enough.

Then, a sudden burst of water droplets crashed like rain against the walls and ceiling of the prison cell.

Qin Shuier looked around furiously and shouted, Whos there? Show yourself!

She finally deduced that this had to be someone elses doing. It was impossible for a protective array to have infinite power. It couldnt be the human woman because her spiritual energy was completely locked down by the imprisonment array.

She raised both arms to the side and twirled around, sending another barrage of attacks in all directions. The prison cell was gouged into pieces yet there was no response. She couldnt even figure out where her enemy was.

It was Immortal Gentle Lotus Gong Liyun. She had arrived and immediately locked onto the fleeing ancient shade. As a master of mind arts, she was especially sensitive to unseen presences and creatures that liked to hide.

She extended her hands and threw out a pink substance that started to dissolve into the ocean water. Although her bewitching arts were less effective in water, it was still something to be feared.

The black fog that was Senior Brother Seventh Black didnt choose to fight but fled in another direction. At the same time, it sent a voice transmission to Qin Shuier.

Dont fight with the humans, follow me!

Qin Shuier obeyed and the two swam toward deeper waters.

The two human Spirit Kings, Hai Dan and Gong Liyun, gave chase.

Not far behind them, the figure of Immortal Solemn Duke Huang Wuji also appeared at the head of a horde of Spirit Lords. His eyes flashed with fury as he also carried an unconscious Su Tan in his arm.

Huang Wuji studied the situation briefly before snapping out orders. He handed Su Tan to three of his underlings and they were to return to the metropolis at their quickest speed. Another group of six would remain at this location to clean up the scene. As for the remaining Spirit Lords which numbered a dozen, he led them to chase after the demons.
