Jianchen slowly glanced past the ancestors of the eight clans with a sharp gaze before glancing at Situ and Ma Teng who had already vanished. His eyes were filled with reluctance.
Although he had already killed three of the people who had killed his parents, two of them had managed to escape. If he did not kill them all, it would be difficult for Jianchen to quell his hatred.
"The eight clans," Jianchen murmured. His voice was extremely cold. If he hadn't been stopped by the people of the Eight Great Clans, how could he have let Situ and Ma Teng escape? At this moment, all the hatred in his heart for not being able to avenge his parents had been placed on the Eight Great Clans.
"Since you want me to stay, I'll stay and fight you. Even if I die here today, I won't let you have an easy time," Jian Chen said with a deep voice. Jian Chen growled. His presence surged into the sky, as if it had become a heavenly sword that stabbed into the world. Not only did he show no fear when facing over a dozen Saint Rulers at the same time, his battle prowess soared instead.
The ancestors of the eight clans all sneered. Although they were shocked by Jianchen's battle prowess, there were over a dozen of them here. They refused to believe that Jianchen could fend off over a dozen Saint Rulers all by himself.
This was because there were a few people who had surpassed the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler among them. They were not people that Jianchen could deal with. Even if he possessed a defensive treasure, he would not be able to escape.
The president and grand elder both sighed helplessly inside. They really did not want to see a great genius die before them like this, but the implications of this matter were just far too great. Even if they wanted to help Jianchen, they dared not do so.
This was because they understood that if they interfered, the Radiant Saint Master Union would probably face destruction. Although the union was a great organisation in the Holy Emperor's Empire, it was nothing before the ten protector clans. If the ten protector clans wanted the Radiant Saint Master Union to disappear from the Tian Yuan Continent, they only needed to use a single protector clan to accomplish the task.
While Yun Tian, who was hiding behind the president, was trembling in fear, he was also secretly delighted. Jianchen and the eight great families of the City of God were like fire and water. Weapons clashing, this was naturally what he liked to see the most. This way, his future position as the president would not be hindered in the slightest.
The six Saint Rulers attacked Jianchen at the same time. Since they had personally witnessed Jianchen's strength, they did not hold back at all. They used their full strength right from the start. The Saint Weapons in their hands radiated with terrifying ripples of energy as they slashed toward Jianchen from different directions.
The six Saint Weapons fell from the sky and seemed to form an invisible net around Jianchen, sealing off all paths of retreat for Jianchen.
Jianchen roared at the sky. At that moment, he no longer cared about the depletion of his Chaotic Force. The chaotic neidan in his dantian immediately surged with large amounts of Chaotic Force before swinging his Ruler Armament as hard as he could. Six huge streaks of light shot through the air, blocking the Saint Weapons of the six Saint Rulers.
The six Saint Rulers were all at the Fourth and Fifth Heavenly Layer, so they were on par with Jianchen. Neither side gained the upper hand after the first strike.
At this moment, another three Saint Rulers charged into the battlefield with a single movement. Two of them swung their Saint Weapons at Jianchen as hard as they could. Wherever the weapons passed, space would be ripped open.
The other person struck toward Jianchen with a hand filled with dense World Force. Although he did not use a Saint Weapon, the palm strike was still extremely powerful, causing the surrounding space to distort.
"Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers!" Jianchen was extremely stern. He could tell that the three of them had reached the Sixth Heavenly Layer from the moment they began fighting. Even if he used a Ruler Armament, it would still be very difficult for him to deal with experts like that. However, he was not afraid at all. He roared at the sky and the Chaotic Force within him surged into the Dragonslaying Sword under his control, causing it to shine brightly. It turned into three streaks of light that shot toward the two Saint Rulers.
The Saint Weapons and the hand collided with Jianchen's Ruler Armament, immediately erupting with a violent boom. The two Saint Rulers and the hand paused slightly before continuing forward, striking Jianchen's Golden Silk Armor in the end.
The Golden Silk Armor immediately shone with a dazzling golden light, blocking the three Saint Rulers. They were unable to harm Jianchen at all.
A sliver of surprise flashed through the eyes of the three Saint Rulers when they saw this. Their evaluation of the Golden Silk Armor increased once again, but they did not hesitate at all. They continued to swing their Saint Weapons at Jianchen while the hand grabbed the Golden Silk Armor on Jianchen in an attempt to take it away from Jianchen.
"Don't even think about taking away what's mine!" Killing intent surged from Jianchen's eyes. He ignored the two Ruler Armaments that were about to reach him. He stabbed out several times with the Dragonslaying Sword at the Saint Ruler who tried to take away the Golden Silk Armor.
The Saint Ruler was the ancestor of the Marquis' estate. Surging World Force condensed before him. His right hand that had reached toward Jianchen's Golden Silk Armor disappeared, and his left hand directly pushed forward. The extremely compressed World Force immediately shot toward Jianchen in an attempt to block Jianchen's Ruler Armament.
Jianchen stabbed out three times in a row to disperse the World Force that shot toward him. The fourth attack directly stabbed toward the ancestor's head.
The Old Ancestor of the House of Marquis tilted his head, barely dodging the sword. However, a trace of blood was left on his face by the Dragonslaying Sword. A trace of Chaotic Force remained in the wound, instantly transforming into a wild horse that burrowed into his brain through the wound and began to wreak havoc.
Bang! Bang!
At the same time, the Saint Weapons of the other two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers also struck Jianchen's back. They were blocked by the golden light from the Golden Silk Armor, but the violent shockwaves still pushed Jianchen back.
"God dammit, just what kind of power is this?!" The old ancestor of the house of the Marquis who had a wound on his face suddenly let out a cry that carried some fear. The strand of Primal Chaos energy that the Dragonslaying Sword had left on his wound had already burrowed into his brain, and was currently rampaging inside, destroying the nerves in his brain.
Although the strand of energy was not much, it was extremely powerful. It was filled with a destructive presence, and its location just happened to be the weakest part of the human body, the brain. As a result, the ancestor was unable to use his Saint Force to deal with it. He could only watch as the strand of Chaotic Force wreaked havoc in his head.
As the nerves in his head were continuously destroyed, an intense pain came along with it, causing the old ancestor's facial muscles to tremble non-stop.
"Oh no, the power is actually targeting my soul." Suddenly, the ancestor's face drastically changed. After a slight hesitation, he clenched his teeth and his soul immediately broke out of its shell. He had actually abandoned his body and fled.
The other Saint Rulers who had yet to take action were immediately shocked when they saw the ancestor's soul escape. The other Saint Ruler immediately arrived before the ancestor's soul in a flash and protected it.
"Yang Yutian's defensive treasure is just too powerful. We can't break through it at all," the two Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers who surrounded Jianchen loudly said at this moment.
"Leave him to the Old Man. The Old Man would like to see the limits of his defensive treasure and see if it can block an attack from an Eighth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler," said an old man. With a slight movement, he arrived before Jianchen. He opened his hands and a ball of blue flames immediately began to burn. He then struck Jianchen's chest with lightning-like speed and sneered, "Yang Yutian, remember the Old Man's name. The Old Man is Harras of the Firegod clan. Today, the Old Man will personally kill a genius."
Jianchen's golden armor immediately began to shine with a dazzling light, resisting the old man's burning hands. However, it only lasted for a few seconds before the golden light from the armor was suppressed, allowing Harras to strike Jianchen viciously.
A grunt rang out from Jian Chen's throat as his face immediately became rather pale. Harras was already at the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, far exceeding Jianchen's strength. Not only did he suppress the golden light from the armor with a single strike, he even injured Jianchen's Chaotic Body.
"What a tough body. He's only slightly injured after blocking the Old Man's attack!" A sliver of amazement appeared in Harras' eyes. He suddenly clenched his hand and the space around Jianchen immediately froze. With a pull of his hand, Jianchen rapidly approached him.
The Chaotic Force within Jianchen violently surged as he attempted to break free from the frozen space. However, the difference in strength between him and Harras was just too great. He was unable to break free even if he used everything he had. All he could do was watch as he rapidly approached Harras.
"Yang Yutian, Old Man. Let's see if you can block a second strike," Harras sneered. Flames surged from his hands once again before striking Jianchen's chest with lightning-like speed.
Spurt! Jianchen vomited a mouthful of blood as he was blown away like a cannonball. This time, the Golden Silk Armor did not appear. Without the protection of the Golden Silk Armor, he had to endure a strike from an Eighth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. He was extremely heavily injured, and even his Chaotic Body had been destroyed.
Jianchen only came to a halt after flying several kilometers. He hovered in the air with a pale face as extremely heavy killing intent filled his gaze toward Harras. Within his body, the heavy injuries caused by Horace's strike were also recovering at an extremely fast speed.
The difference between an Eighth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler and a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler was just far too great. It could be described as a chasm. Jian Chen could fight against Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers with the help of his Ruler Armament, and he could even directly slay them. However, he was actually unable to fight back against an Eighth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler.
