The eyes of the ancestors immediately lit up when they heard Yun Tian's words. Regardless of whether Yang Yutian was a fighter or a Radiant Saint Master, he had killed the participants of the eight clans in the artifact space, so they had already fallen out with him. Even if Yang Yutian could no longer remain in the union, it would not stop them from eliminating Yang Yutian.
This was because the participants who had died to Yang Yutian's hands in the artifact space were all important members of the eight clans. Their statuses were extremely special, so their sacrifice was an unbearable blow to the eight clans.
The people of the eight clans had not completely confirmed that the Class 6 beast on Jianchen was the Winged Tiger that the protector clans were searching for. However, they had grievances with Yang Yutian, so they used this as an excuse to threaten Jianchen and take the beast for themselves.
One of the ancestors immediately called out, "That's right. The beast on Yang Yutian's shoulder is the Winged Tiger. He has protected the divine beast of the Beast God Continent and assisted its growth. He has already posed an extremely severe threat to the peace of our continent. This is the action of a traitor. Everyone, let's kill the traitor together."
"Let's kill the traitor together!" The ancestors of the eight clans all called out. They arrived before Jianchen with a single movement and struck out at Jianchen at the same time. Their hands were immediately covered with a layer of dense World Force as they struck toward Jianchen.
Jianchen's eyes were cold. Chaotic Force surged from his dantian into the Ruler Armament, Dragonslayer. The hazy glow from the sword was immediately suppressed, and a bright, black light shot out from the sword. A destructive presence expanded into the distance, causing the eyes of all the Saint Rulers present to narrow.
With a few flashes of light, the Dragon-slaying sword had already slashed out several times with lightning-like speed. The powerful sword Qi collided with the Force of the World from the Saint Rulers of the eight clans, directly dispersing the attacks from the Saint Rulers.
"Be careful, everyone. Yang Yutian is not weak," a Saint Ruler called out. Saint Force surged out of his body, condensing into a three-meter-long sickle in his hand in a single instance. He had drawn his Saint Weapon.
Afterward, the four other Saint Rulers who had attacked Jianchen stopped underestimating him. They drew their Saint Weapons at the same time. Invisible World Force rapidly condensed on their Saint Weapons before they swung them toward Jianchen. Wherever their Saint Weapons passed by, powerful ripples of energy would cause space to distort and crack.
Jianchen was emotionless. He stabbed out with Dragonslayer five times with unbelievable speed, colliding with the Saint Weapons of the five Saint Rulers with unparalleled force.
Boom!
The five violent booms seemed to connect into one, like a thunderclap exploding in the air. The violent energy wreaked havoc between heaven and earth, tearing the void apart.
The five Saint Rulers were knocked back by Jianchen's attack. They only stabilized themselves after flying three kilometers in the air. Afterward, they looked at Jianchen in shock.
"The Fifth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler!" An ancestor of the eight clans growled. Disbelief filled his eyes as he looked at Jianchen.
The president of the Radiant Saint Master Union stared at Jianchen in shock as well. He was extremely shocked by Yang Yutian's strength.
"Twenty-four years old. Twenty-four years old. It must be him. I never thought that he would have grown to such a level in just a few years. It's unbelievable," the grand elder beside the president softly murmured. His face was filled with melancholy.
"T- t- how is Yang Yutian so powerful? Not only is he a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master with three Radiant Saint Techniques, but he's so powerful as a fighter as well. He's actually at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler." Yun Tian, who had already hidden behind the president, paled. As soon as he thought about how he had once harbored evil intentions towards a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, he felt an uncontrollable sense of lingering fear and dread. This was because Yun Tian knew extremely well that an expert like that could kill him as easily as crushing an ant.
"But Yang Yutian has already offended the eight clans and the Zaar family, and he's now carrying an ancient beast that's suspected to be a Winged Tiger. It's extremely likely for him to draw over protector clans. So what if he's a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler? He's still going to die," Yun Tian immediately let out a sigh of relief when he thought up to there.
Yun Tian was not uncertain about the identity of the White Tiger as an ancient divine beast. However, with his hatred and jealousy for Jianchen, even if the White Tiger was just an ordinary beast and not a Winged Tiger, Yun Tian would think of a way to describe it as a Winged Tiger. This was because only then would the eight clans and the Zaar family be bold enough to move against Jianchen and prevent the Radiant Saint Master Union from standing up for Jianchen.
This was because the Winged Tiger was involved in far too many matters.
Nearby, Situ Gui's group of five looked at Jianchen as well. They were rather stern and said softly, "I never thought that Jianchen would be able to unleash the strength of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler with his Ruler Armament."
The five Saint Rulers who had been knocked back by Jianchen looked at each other sternly. They had never thought that Yang Yutian would be so powerful, actually reaching the Fifth Heavenly Layer. With their strength at the Third and Fourth Heavenly Layer, they were indeed not the opponent of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler.
Jian Chen did not pursue the people of the eight clans. He sheathed his sword and glared at Situ Wangui and the others. Intense killing intent radiated from his body as he called out coldly, "I'll deal with my grievances with the eight clans later. Please allow me to kill the murderer of my parents first." With that, Jianchen used Spatial Force and fused with the surrounding space. He turned into a faint blur and shot toward the five of them with unbelievable speed.
A gleam of light flickered through the eyes of the ancestors of the eight clans. They did not stop Jianchen. On one hand, they wanted to use the five of them to test out Jianchen's exact strength. On the other hand, they wanted to use them to waste away Jianchen's strength so that they could deal with Jianchen more easily.
A Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler was enough to attract the attention of the eight clans. Moreover, they did not know if Jian Chen had any other powerful trump cards hidden up his sleeves.
The five of them revealed rather ugly expressions. Not only did they have to face the ten protectors of the Bloodsword sect, but they also had to face the equally powerful Jianchen. They were in an extremely bad situation.
"Eight clans of the City of God, the little beast on Jianchen's shoulder is the Winged Tiger that the protector clans are searching for. If you kill Jianchen and offer the tiger to the protector clans, the protector clans definitely won't mistreat you. They'll definitely reward you with a Saint Tier Battle Skill. If you still don't do it, do you want the Bloodsword sect to take all the credit for it?" Ma Teng thought of a plan in his moment of desperation. He instigated the ancestors of the eight clans in an attempt to use them to deal with Jianchen. He knew that if Jianchen and the four protectors of the Bloodsword sect worked together to deal with the five of them, it would be very difficult for them to leave this place alive.
The eyes of the ancestors of the eight clans immediately lit up. Ma Teng's words had clearly tempted them, so they began to hesitate.
"Pay with your life for my parents!" As he spoke, Jianchen had already crossed several kilometers and approached the five of them. His Dragonslaying Sword stabbed toward one of them with a lightning-like speed with dense Chaotic Force.
The attack was very simple, without any fancy moves. However, it contained the killing intent and fury that had been buried deep within Jianchen for a very long time.
The attack was Jianchen's full-powered attack. It was the most powerful attack he could unleash. As the sword tore through the air, the destructive Chaotic Force ripped through space, causing a black streak of light to appear in the air.
The five of them looked at each other and nodded slightly. They then attacked Jianchen at the same time, attempting to kill Jianchen in a single strike.
Just as they began to move, the four protectors moved as well. With a flash of red light, four blood-red thorns stabbed toward four of them. Situ and Ma Teng, who were the strongest among them, were also attacked by the four protectors. They were at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler, and they were attacked by the four protectors as well.
With no other choice, the four of them could only give up on attacking Jianchen and focus on fending off the four protectors. In their eyes, Jianchen was very powerful, having also reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer as a Saint Ruler, but the four protectors posed an even greater threat to them than Jianchen.
Situ, Ma Teng, and the other two old men were kept busy by the four protectors of the Bloodsword sect. As a result, only one old man remained to fend off Jian Chen alone.
The old man was not weak either, having reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler. With a bellow, the sword in his hand immediately began to shine with a dazzling light. Vast amounts of Saint Force fused with the World Force and shot forward with lightning-like speed. Immediately, the space in front of him violently distorted and a pitch-black crack appeared.
The Dragon-slaying Sword collided with the old man's Saint Weapon. It was like two huge forces had collided, erupting with a great boom. The surging ripples of energy were enough to obliterate the surroundings, forming a storm that wreaked havoc in the sky.
Jianchen and the old man were both pushed back by the powerful force and the violent ripples of energy. As he flew back, a cold light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. The Chaotic Force within his body immediately erupted, forcefully stopping him in the air. He then charged up against the countercurrent, quickly catching up to the old man.
The old man's face changed slightly. Without any hesitation, he raised his Ruler Armament and swung it at Jianchen.
Jianchen had already arrived before the old man. He did not dodge the old man's attack at all. The Dragon-slaying Sword stabbed toward the old man's chest with a destructive presence.
"A life for a life!" The old man's face changed slightly. He immediately saw through Jianchen's thoughts, and a sliver of viciousness appeared in his eyes. He thought, "Jianchen, you're crazy. Since you want to go crazy, this Old Man will go crazy with you. Let's see who'll have the last laugh."
The old man's sword landed on Jianchen's left shoulder with great force, while Jianchen's Dragon-slaying Sword pierced the old man's chest.
