Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress knew extremely well what would happen if they encountered the walking corpses. Even if they concealed their presences, they would still be able to sense them if they were too close to the walking corpses.
The two of them quickly made their way out of the cave. Their movements were completely silent and did not create any disturbances at all. When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the cave, their expressions both changed. The seven Saint Rulers were already fifty meters away from the entrance. The seven of them were emotionless. Their eyes were soulless, and their movements were stiff. They moved like machines.
When Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress appeared at the entrance of the cave, the seven Saint Rulers came to a halt at the same time. Immediately, tremendous presences radiated from their bodies. Energy pulsed within them, causing a storm of energy to sweep through the area.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress' hearts sank. They knew that the seven Saint Rulers had sensed their existence. Without any hesitation, they immediately prepared for battle. Jianchen also pulled out his Dragonslaying sword from his Space Ring.
Roar!
The seven Saint Rulers produced monstrous roars at the same time. At that moment, their bodies were no longer as stiff as before. They became much more nimble. With a few flashes, the seven Saint Rulers charged toward Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress at the same time.
Jianchen poured his Chaotic Force into the Dragonslaying sword. Wielding the sword in his right hand, he used the Illusory Flash. He arrived before one of the Saint Rulers in a single moment as a blur. The sword stabbed toward the Saint Ruler's chest with a destructive presence.
The walking corpses showed no intention of dodging Jianchen's attack. They completely ignored Jianchen's attack and directly threw punches at Jianchen.
Spurt! The Dragonslaying sword stabbed into the Saint Ruler's chest without any resistance. It came out from his back, but there was still no blood. The Saint Ruler did not even show any pain on his face. However, his fist continued toward Jianchen with a powerful force.
Jianchen used the Illusory Flash and dodged the punch with unbelievable speed. He suddenly swung his right arm with the Dragonslaying sword, directly cutting the Saint Ruler's chest in half. Only the other half remained connected to his body.
At this moment, another two Saint Rulers attacked Jianchen at the same time. Their attacks were extremely simple, directly using their fists. They did not use any fancy moves.
Jian Chen dodged their attacks with the Illusory Flash. The Dragonslaying Sword shot through the air as a black streak of light with a destructive presence, heading toward the Saint Ruler whose chest was cut in half. It directly cut the Saint Ruler in half.
However, the Saint Ruler did not die. The lower half of his body quickly approached Jianchen and kicked at Jianchen. At the same time, the upper half of his body pressed against the ground and shot toward Jianchen. He clenched his hands into fists and sent them toward Jianchen with powerful force.
Jianchen was emotionless. With a jolt of his right arm, the Dragonslaying sword immediately stabbed out countless times with lightning speed. The densely packed blurs seemed to form a dense net, enveloping the Saint Ruler who had been cut in half.
Jianchen's sword was famed for its speed. In that moment, he stabbed out over a hundred times with unbelievable speed. At that moment, the dense net seemed to have become a meat grinder, directly cutting the Saint Ruler in half into countless pieces of hard flesh.
The walking corpses were Saint Rulers, so they retained their strength, but they had completely lost their abilities and battle experience. They did not possess Saint Weapons, so they could not use the mysteries of the world. They did not even possess the most basic ability to dodge or block. The only thing they knew was to use their fists to attack the intruders and kill them.
As a result, the Saint Rulers who had been reduced to walking corpses could not be compared to when they were alive. They were easily cut to pieces by Jianchen.
After dealing with the Saint Ruler, Jianchen immediately used the Illusory Flash and vanished.
As soon as Jianchen vanished, two fists viciously struck the empty space. The powerful force caused the space to explode.
Spurt!
Suddenly, there was a flash of black light and the arm of one of the two remaining people suddenly snapped. Jianchen had already appeared to one side like a ghost and easily severed one of the people's arms with the Dragonslaying sword.
At the same time, the Saint Ruler that Jianchen had cut to pieces reassembled his body. He recovered to his original state and continued to charge toward Jianchen.
On the other side, the Heavenly Enchantress engaged in a battle with the four remaining Saint Rulers. She held her zither in her left hand as she constantly plucked the strings with her slender fingers. She produced sound waves that struck the four Saint Rulers. Every time the sound waves struck them, they would leave behind a huge hole. The powerful force of the sound waves made it difficult for the four of them to advance.
Although the Heavenly Enchantress walked a different path of cultivation, she was clearly much more powerful than Jian Chen. Her unique soundwave attacks were extremely powerful as well, allowing her to stop the four Saint Rulers effortlessly all by herself. She forced the four Saint Rulers to retreat, preventing them from approaching the Heavenly Enchantress.
The Heavenly Enchantress plucked the twenty strings in a rhythmic manner. Sound waves shot out from the Zither of the Demonic Cry as her fingers moved. When each sound wave struck the four Saint Rulers, they would leave behind some of the power of the zither. Gradually, the power of the zither became denser and denser. When it reached a certain level, the Heavenly Enchantress stopped playing. She looked at Jianchen and called out, "Retreat!"
Without any hesitation, Jianchen immediately abandoned his opponents and retreated to the Heavenly Enchantress' side as a blur.
The Heavenly Enchantress slowly placed her finger on the twenty-first string of the zither and plucked it gently.
The twenty-first string produced a crisp sound and began to violently tremble. Soon after, the power of the zither suddenly became extremely violent. With a great boom, the power of the zither immediately exploded. The violent ripples of energy directly tore the seven Saint Rulers to pieces.
Roar! Roar! Roar …
The commotion caused by the fight here alarmed the experts in the distance. Immediately, dozens of beast-like roars came from all directions. The sound reverberated throughout the entire Illusory Star Ocean in the dark night. Immediately, more than a dozen enormous auras flew over from different directions. Further away, even more enormous auras were faintly discernible.
"Leave this place quickly," the Heavenly Enchantress growled. The Heavenly Enchantress growled. She was extremely stern. She had already sensed a terrifying presence so powerful that even she feared it. It was a Saint King walking corpse.
Jianchen became extremely stern as well. Although their senses had been suppressed in the Sea of Illusory Stars, they could still clearly sense the presences of Saint Rulers. He also discovered that at least several dozen Saint Rulers were currently surrounding them from all directions. Once they were trapped, the consequences would be unthinkable. They might even attract the attention of even more experts.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress left as quickly as possible, hurrying off into the distance. However, before they could get very far, the seven human Saint Rulers reassembled their bodies. They all roared out as they charged toward the two of them who still had not gotten very far.
A cold light flashed through the Heavenly Enchantress' eyes. She immediately placed the zither in front of her and was about to play it.
However, with a flash, Jian Chen charged toward the seven human Saint Rulers with the Illusory Flash with the Dragonslaying Sword. He called out, "I'll keep them busy. Leave quickly."
The Heavenly Enchantress looked around. She could sense that the experts were getting closer and closer to the two of them. She said with a heavy voice, "It'll be very difficult for you to break free from them in an extremely short amount of time with your strength. Once you're surrounded by the walking corpses, it'll be difficult for you to escape death in the Sea of Illusory Stars that is filled with formations."
Jianchen's Dragonslaying Sword stabbed through several dozen corpses in a single moment with a destructive presence. He cut one of the corpses to pieces in a single clash. He loudly said, "Don't worry about me. The abilities of Saint Rulers are suppressed here, so we can't use Spatial Force to escape. Once the two of us are surrounded, it'll be very difficult for you to break free. I have a profound movement technique, so even if I'm surrounded, I'll be able to keep them at bay. I'll do whatever I can to shake them off."
Jianchen's words were clearly heard by the Heavenly Enchantress. At that moment, her gaze immediately became mixed. She stood there hesitantly and did not leave immediately. Jianchen's words had deeply touched her heart.
She had never thought that on the treacherous and treacherous Tian Yuan Continent, there would actually be someone foolish enough to risk their life to stop several dozen Saint Rulers and buy precious time for a stranger they had only known for a few days to escape.
In such a perilous situation, even blood brothers would betray each other, let alone a stranger.
Jianchen's actions immediately caused the Heavenly Enchantress to view him in a different light. The light in the Heavenly Enchantress' eyes flickered as she stood there. She had no idea whether she should abandon Jianchen and flee by herself or stay behind to fight alongside Jianchen.
The powerful presences from all directions were drawing closer and closer. Jianchen could not help but panic when he saw that the Heavenly Enchantress still had not left. He called out, "What are you still doing here? Go! It'll be too late if you don't leave now."
The Heavenly Enchantress stared at Jianchen with mixed feelings as he fought the Saint Rulers. In the end, she gritted her teeth and left, vanishing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
