A cold light flashed through Jianchen's eyes as he sensed the piercing pain from his forehead. Clearly, the person who had launched a sneak attack wanted to kill him in a single strike.
The person who had launched the attack possessed extraordinary strength. He was also a late Divine King, and he had used the Laws of Darkness to envelop the surroundings. Both his vision and the senses of his soul were affected, making it difficult for him to unleash his full power. If he had used the same sneak attack on other regular Divine Kings, he might have been able to kill them in a single strike. Unfortunately, he was facing Jianchen.
In a flash, the supreme quality saint artifact that Jianchen had just taken suddenly stabbed out as a blur.
Swish!
Jianchen's attack was extremely fast, truly as fast as lightning. It shone with dazzling light and the mysteries of the Way of the Sword. It directly fused with the darkness and came in contact with the black spike that silently stabbed over like a venomous snake.
He had only stabbed out based on his senses, but the tip of the sword struck the tip of the black spike with great precision. It produced the crisp sound of metal clashing. Sword Qi mixed with Chaotic Force and the Laws of Darkness interweaved, erupting with powerful shockwaves of energy. It caused the surrounding darkness to shake violently.
However, the black spike suddenly vanished after the strike. It did not even leave behind a single presence or pulse. Even Jian Chen was unable to find where the person was hiding in the darkness where the senses of the soul were disrupted and he could not see anything with the naked eye.
Jianchen frowned slightly as he stood there with his sword in hand. He stood tall and straight, giving off the feeling that he was as stable as a mountain.
He knew that he had encountered an assassin with impressive strength. The Laws of Darkness had enveloped the space, which was equivalent to turning the space into his domain. The assassin was like a fish in water in there, grasping the absolute initiative.
However, Jianchen was stuck in a quagmire. He was in an extremely passive position. If the hidden assassin did not take action, he would not be able to find out where he was.
Jianchen snorted coldly. Golden light flickered around him as a strand of Daluo Sword Qi condensed. With a dazzling streak of golden light, it slashed towards the darkness.
Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the darkness was driven away. However, in the next moment, the Law of Darkness was once again filled in.
However, just as Jianchen was about to make his move, the black spike appeared once more. It was as silent as before, striking from behind Jianchen like a bolt of lightning, aiming for the back of Jianchen's head.
Jianchen abruptly turned around. Although he couldn't see it with his eyes and couldn't use his Divine Sense, he still accurately captured the trajectory of the black spike with his terrifying battle instincts and the rich experience he had accumulated along the way.
He opened his palm and abruptly extended it with a layer of Chaotic Force. He grabbed the black spike.
The black spike was extremely sharp, easily piercing through the defences of Jianchen's Chaotic Body. His hand was cut open, and the wound was so deep that his bones were visible. Chaotic blood oozed out.
However, Jianchen did not care about his hand at all. Cultivating the Chaotic Body had granted him an extremely tough body, so a small wound like this was nothing to him. The moment he grabbed the black spike, he stabbed out with the supreme quality saint artifact in his right hand.
Jianchen grabbed the black spike with one hand as he stabbed out with the other. He basically did it at the same time, giving his opponent no time to react at all.
Spurt!
With the sound of a weapon piercing through flesh, Jianchen knew that he had injured his opponent when he sensed the slight resistance from the sword.
Even though he knew that his opponent was inches away, Jianchen was still unable to sense the existence of the person who had launched the sneak attack.
With a grunt, the assassin hidden in the darkness was injured. He no longer continued to fight and retreated decisively after pulling out the black spear from Jian Chen's hand. He vanished without a trace in a single instance. No one could track him down.
Immediately, the Laws of Darkness that enveloped the surroundings vanished. Jianchen looked around and discovered that he had completely lost track of the assassin. He did not even see the assassin's face. All he could see were the traces of blood on his sword.
However, the Divine King had caught up with them after this delay. Over a hundred Divine Kings burned with desire as they surrounded Jianchen and Caia with lightning speed.
Their main target was Ziyun, but now that Ziyun was with Caia, Jianchen and Caia naturally became targets as well.
"Let's go!" Jianchen called out. Although he did not sense any particularly powerful presences among these people, he was restrained by Xiao Man. He did not dare to engage in an intense battle with these people.
However, just when Jianchen's hand reached towards Xiao Man and was about to touch her, he came into contact with a mysterious power that was invisible to the naked eye and undetectable with the senses of his soul.
The mysterious power enveloped Xiao Man. Not only did it prevent Jianchen's hand from touching her, but Jianchen could not help but tremble from the bottom of his heart when he came into contact with the mysterious power.
The mysterious power felt vast and boundless to Jianchen. It was unimaginably powerful. It was impossible to destroy, which made Jianchen shiver in fear.
Jianchen's eyes narrowed as he stared closely at the pale-faced Xiao Man on the ground. His expression constantly changed.
Caia had been silently observing Xiao Man the entire time. A gleam of light flashed through her eyes when she saw this. She said, "This girl is protected by the world. As long as she's in the Blue Poseidon Palace, she's protected by the world. Unless they possess power that surpasses the Blue Poseidon Palace, no one will be able to harm her at all."
Jianchen was shocked when he heard that. He said, "How is that possible? If she really is protected by the world, how is she injured? "
Ziyun also heard Caia's words. She was also filled with disbelief, but she was even more confused and doubtful. Clearly, she had the same doubts as Jianchen.
Caia pondered for a moment before looking at Ziyun. He said, "If I've guessed correctly, the girl should have been injured before the Neptunean Moon appeared, right?"
"When the Neptunean Moon appeared, I could vaguely sense that the laws of the Blue Poseidon Palace seemed to have changed. When I saw the girl afterwards, I could vaguely sense that there seemed to be energy around her. This energy resonated with the Blue Poseidon Palace from afar. I- it also seemed to represent the power of the entire Blue Poseidon Palace. "
Caia stared deeply at Xiao Man and continued, "With such a powerful force protecting her, no one in the Blue Poseidon Palace can harm her. However, she's actually injured now. This can only mean that the force around her only appeared after she was injured. "
Caia fell silent for a moment before saying, "If I've guessed correctly, the appearance of the Neptunean Moon should be related to the girl."
Ziyun was completely stunned when she heard that. Disbelief filled her face. The appearance of the Neptunean Moon was related to Xiao Man? She struggled to imagine why the terrifying Blue Poseidon Palace would change so drastically because of Xiao Man. What secrets did Xiao Man hide?
It was not just her. Even Jianchen found this to be very unbelievable. He was stunned.
"Miss, the legacy of a Chaotic Prime is not something you can obtain. Hand over the legacy, and you can leave. Otherwise, you should know what will happen."
At this moment, a loud voice rang out. Jianchen, Caia, and the others had already been surrounded by many Divine King.
