Yang Kai paled. Only he understood how terrifying Jianchen's attack was. When Jianchen passed through him as a bolt of lightning, his insides had been set on fire. Large portions of his ribs had been reduced to dust. He was extremely heavily injured.
He turned around with great difficulty. His eyes were filled with reluctance, resentment, and humiliation as he stared at Jianchen in the distance. He said, "What a powerful battle skill. What is it?"
"Linear Lightning Release," Jianchen replied coldly. He walked through the air with the Startling Rainbow sword in hand, making his way over step by step.
"Linear Lightning Release. Linear Lightning Release. It really is like a bolt of lightning. It's unbelievably fast," Yang Kai murmured. He was unwilling to accept the outcome of the battle.
It was not that he could not accept defeat. Instead, he would never allow himself, who had been known as the greatest expert below the Divine King of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian, to lose to the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan who had only made a name for himself a few decades ago.
Suddenly, a sliver of determination appeared in Yang Kai's eyes. His gaze towards Jian Chen was immediately drowned out by heavy killing intent.
"This battle ends here!"
At this moment, an ancient voice boomed out in the surroundings. It was filled with an unquestionable dominance.
As the voice rang out, a terrifying aura that was as vast as the sea came crashing down from the sky.
Whether it was Jian Chen or Yang Kai, they both felt like a huge mountain was pressing down on their backs before the terrifying pressure. They struggled to even take a single step forward.
"The Divine King!" Jianchen's heart skipped a beat, but he was not surprised at all.
A white-robed old man appeared silently in the sky. His appearance was nothing special. There was nothing special about him at all.
However, it was this ordinary appearance that gave off a terrifying presence that was as vast as the ocean, firmly suppressing Jian Chen and Yang Kai.
Of course, Jianchen and Yang Kai did not resist.
"Greetings to the Grand Imperial Protector!"
In the distance, all the spectating Overgods, including Xuan Dou, bowed at the same time without any exception. Their faces were filled with shock.
Xi Yu and Mo Yan, who were hiding behind Xuan Dou, were surprised. Without any hesitation, the two of them bowed deeply towards the old man politely as well, bowing deeply.
Many Gods had gathered behind them. A large number of them had already bowed. All of their eyes burned with passion and excitement.
The Divine King was a supreme expert that would only appear once in a blue moon. Even as Gods, they would not necessarily be able to see the Divine King in their lives. As a result, many of them felt like they no longer had any regrets when the Grand Imperial Protector appeared and allowed them to witness the divine King's glory.
Yang Kai calmed down and bowed respectfully towards the Grand Imperial Protector. No matter how unwilling he was, no matter how strong his killing intent was, he had no choice but to withdraw it.
"Is this the Grand Imperial Protector?" Jianchen raised his head and studied the Grand Imperial Protector after bowing. This was the first time he had seen one of the two Divine Kings of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian.
The Grand Imperial Protector hovered in the air as he stared at Yang Kai and Jianchen deeply. He said indifferently, "I already know the whole story. Yang Kai, return the Pyrogold to Jianchen."
"Imperial Protector, I bought the Pyrogold from an elder of the Tian Yuan clan. It already belongs to me," said Yang Kai. He was unwilling to return the Pyrogold. This was a matter of his dignity.
Jianchen knew that he could not fight Yang Kai with the Grand Imperial Protector present. As a result, he stowed the Startling Rainbow sword away and secretly circulated Chaotic Force to heal. He stared at Yang Kai coldly with his arms crossed.
The Grand Imperial Protector stared at Yang Kai deeply from above and said, "The two of you are the pillars of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. If you continue to cause trouble and suffer any losses, the divine kingdom will only suffer losses. The Heavenly Demon Religion is about to take down the Divine Kingdom of Three Cauldrons. The Divine Kingdom of Three Cauldrons is only separated by the Divine Kingdom of Nine Stars. Our kingdom is in danger right now, so we can't cause internal strife at a time like this and harm ourselves. "
The Grand Imperial Protector took out an embroidered box from his Space Ring and said, "The Old Man just happens to possess a piece of Pyrogold. Yang Kai, the Old Man will bestow this piece of Pyrogold to you. You'll have the final material you need to forge a supreme quality saint artifact. Give the piece in your hand to Jianchen."
This time, the Grand Imperial Protector directly said that he would give it to Jianchen. He did not say that he would return it to Jianchen, giving Yang Kai a way out of this embarrassing situation.
Yang Kai was a late Overgod after all. He was one of the most important pillars of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. Even someone as great as the Grand Imperial Protector had to show him some respect.
In particular, when they faced the threat of the Heavenly Demon Religion, a late Overgod was several times more important than usual.
Yang Kai hesitated slightly before accepting the piece of Pyrogold from the Grand Imperial Protector. Afterwards, he took out the piece of Pyrogold he had obtained from Xi Yu and tossed it to Jianchen. He said coldly, "Jianchen, I'll give you the Pyrogold for the sake of the Grand Imperial Protector."
"I'm not giving it away. I'm returning it. Here are your two hundred thousand high grade divine crystals." Jianchen emphasized seriously. At the same time, he tossed over a Space Ring and continued, "The Pyrogold is secondary to my battle with you this time. The main reason is that you injured my people."
Without a doubt, Jianchen was announcing to the world that they should not provoke the Tianyuan family.
Yang Kai stared at Jianchen coldly and snorted coldly. He bowed towards the Grand Imperial Protector politely before leaving. He returned to Pingtian City with a sunken face.
He still had trump cards that he had not used, but he knew that Jianchen also had trump cards up his sleeves. At the very least, he had not used the two terrifying strands of sword Qi.
"Jianchen, since you've dealt with the matters here, come to the palace. I have some matters to discuss with you." The Grand Imperial Protector erased his presence and returned to normal. After saying that to Jianchen, he directly left and returned to the palace.
"Brother Jianchen, I really do see you in a different light. I never thought that your strength would reach such an awe-inspiring level. Even Yang Kai lost to you," Xuan Dou walked over enthusiastically.
In the distance, the spectating Overgods hesitated slightly before coming over to chat with Jianchen as well. All of their gazes were filled with hidden fear.
They all understood that the Tian Yuan clan would be added to the list of peak clans in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian apart from the Yang family.
Jianchen conversed with everyone before looking at Xi Yu and Mo Yan. "Aside from Yang Kai, did anyone else touch you?"
The hearts of the Overgods in the royal capital all skipped a beat when they heard Jianchen's question. Was the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan still not satisfied after his battle with Yang Kai? Did he want to punish someone else?
Immediately, the Overgods began to view the Tianyuan family as an existence that they could not afford to provoke.
Yang Kai had only injured the Holy Emperor of the Tianyuan family, yet Jianchen fought with Yang Kai so intensely. If they had offended someone with even greater status, would the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan not throw his life at them?
"There's also the patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Aoran, Yang Lianxin, and four elders. The six of them injured Mo Yan with their presences," said Xi Yu. She hated the Yang family very much as well. Since the patriarch was so powerful, she no longer feared him.
In the distance, the expressions of the elders of the Yang family under Yang Aoran's lead changed. They immediately wanted to retreat.
"How can I let you leave peacefully after injuring my sister?" Jianchen said coldly. He extended his finger six times and sent out six resplendent strands of sword Qi towards the six Gods who were holding Xi Yu and Mo Yan hostage. They pierced their bodies, causing them to cry out on the spot. They used all their strength to flee as quickly as possible.
Jianchen did not take their lives. He only injured them and taught them a lesson.
