Chapter 163
Buzz!
Three majestic figures stood in the sky, like deities, with their feet on the nine heavens and ten earths, overlooking the world!
A vast aura spread out, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack. The void shattered as if it couldn’t withstand the aura of the three.
Boom!
A powerful dragon’s roar resounded through the heavens, and a true dragon’s shadow spiraled in the sky.
The massive figure seemed to cover the sky, with dragon scales forged like divine gold, each one dazzling like a great sun.
The enormous vertical pupils were like stars, their scorching light capable of melting everything!
The cold expression was like an eternal winter, piercing the soul!
“Quasi-Emperor of the True Dragon Clan!” Feeling the oppressive aura in front, both Jiang Chen and Mu Jianxue’s expressions changed slightly.
They hadn’t expected the True Dragon Clan to get involved!
“Ao Xu, your True Dragon Clan can’t even protect yourselves, and you still want to muddy the waters?”
The figure of the Third Ancestor emerged from the void, thin and frail, his gray robe fluttering in the wind like an old man whose oil lamp was about to go out, seemingly ready to collapse with a gust of wind.
However.
With his appearance, the surrounding situation reversed immediately, and Ao Xu’s aura was instantly suppressed.
“Wan Jianyi!” The enormous vertical pupils stared at the Third Ancestor, and a cold voice filled with surprise slowly came out.
It seemed he had never expected the Third Ancestor to appear here.
“It’s really him!”
Whether it was the Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Clan, Anying, or the other members of the Heavenly Domain, their eyes were fixed on the Third Ancestor.
Their gazes were filled with shock.
The Third Ancestor was an unparalleled prodigy of tens of thousands of years ago, who once swept through the Nine Heavens Realm with a single sword but eventually went into seclusion due to certain events.
However, they had never forgotten his past glory. Especially Ao Xu, who was from the same era as the Third Ancestor.
He knew Wan Jianyi’s strength well and was shocked that such an existence would be willing to become a protector.
“Your heart has aged, Wan Jianyi! The proud you is actually willing to become a protector!” Ao Xu stared at the Third Ancestor, his tone icy.
In his words.
Boom.
Taking a Quasi-Emperor’s sword aura head-on would be like a birthday star eating arsenic—courting death.
If he were a body cultivator, he might manage, but as an assassin, he didn’t dare.
Besides.
His plan was to lure the tiger away from the mountain, just to entangle Mu Jianxue. Anying’s eyes flickered, deliberately leading Mu Jianxue towards the endless sky.
Mu Jianxue seemed to have lost her mind with hatred, not caring about Jiang Chen, directly chasing after Shadow.
Seeing Mu Jianxue and the Third Ancestor leave.
Yinhun, Tianxiang, and Heitian were overjoyed.
Their plan had succeeded.
“Finish this quickly!” Tianxiang was ecstatic and immediately prepared to strike.
“Wait!” Heitian stopped him, his eyes deep, and said, “Wait a little longer!”
Their plan was going very smoothly, with almost no mistakes, just some initial testing surprises, but those were expected.
But it was going too smoothly, making Heitian hesitate. Wasn’t it too smooth?
“What are we waiting for! If we wait any longer, the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land will enter!” Seeing Jiang Chen about to enter the cave, Tianxiang couldn’t wait any longer.
Ignoring Heitian, he immediately attacked. In their plan, those strong individuals were just supporting roles; they were the main actors. If this assassination failed, all their efforts would be in vain.
If they didn’t act now and Jiang Chen entered the cave, it would be hard to move. So, seeing Jiang Chen about to enter, Tianxiang couldn’t wait.
Buzz.
A silent, hidden cold light concealed in the void, unnoticed by anyone, and Jiang Chen seemed unaware.
Heitian frowned, feeling something was off, too smooth.
Meanwhile, Anying, always dodging Mu Jianxue’s attacks, kept an eye on Jiang Chen.
“Why haven’t they acted?” Anying frowned.
They had already lured away the two protectors for a minute. This was the best time to act.
However.
Heitian and the others hadn’t acted, making Anying puzzled and anxious. The key to the plan was the assassination by the three Great Saints of the Heavenly Domain.
If they couldn’t assassinate Jiang Chen, the plan would fail so it needed to be quick.
The longer it took, the more likely it would draw the attention of other forces and provoke the Primordial Holy Land to act. What were they waiting for?
Anying couldn’t understand why they hadn’t acted yet. As he pondered, a sword light unexpectedly pierced his body.
