A large part of the reason they did not leave was the existence of the Distant Ancient Divine Weapons.
Seeing that the three were safe and sound after obtaining the Distant Ancient Divine Weapons, Xiao Chen could not help wanting to make a move. However, after struggling for a while, his rationality finally won over his desire.
The time was not right. This place was too strange. The Qing Emperor would not place a Heavenly Flame on this stone pillar for no reason. Furthermore, he would not be so bored as to leave a powerful killing move on the wall.
"Cowardly and afraid of everything, yet you still want to take the Emperor's Road? What a joke."
The straw-caped old man smiled coldly when he saw that the two did not move.
"Ka ca!"
However, just at this moment, the chains binding the dragon bones on the three stone pillars where the Divine Weapons were drawn suddenly broke. Amid a crisp sound, the upright dragon bones fell to the ground with a 'whoosh.'
The dragon bones that fell to the ground slowly melted into a purple liquid that slowly flowed out of the Heavenly Flame's range.
When the black liquid completely flowed out of the Heavenly Flame's range, it wriggled and took human form. Then, it materialized three purple robes with the symbol of a Demonic God embroidered on them.
A bright light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. These robes were clearly the Dark Church's uniform. He had seen them on Teng Xiao and the Dark Church's branch in the Sky Dome Realm before.
There was no mistaking it! Run!
Without even thinking, Xiao Chen turned around and left. Dugu Ao's movements were not much slower than Xiao Chen's. He quickly followed behind, running back the way he came.
"Who are you?!"
Yang Kai's three people on the stone pillars exclaimed in horror when they saw this sudden scene. They did not expect this.
The three purple-clad men turned around expressionlessly and looked at the three people on the stone pillars. Then, they sent out a formless Mental Energy, and the three immediately felt confused.
The purple-clad men stretched out their hands at the same time, and the Distant Ancient Divine Weapons that Yang Kai's three held immediately struggled free. Then, they spun in the air and chopped off the three's heads at the same time.
This scene happened very quickly, in less than half a breath of time. There was no time for the three half-step Emperor Wu experts to prepare.
Yang Kai's three, who had been overjoyed at obtaining the Distant Ancient Divine Weapons, died to the Divine Weapons in their hands in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, they were able to witness the might of the Ancient Era's Divine Armament before they died. This proved that their foresight was not bad.
It's a pity that it's not yours. It's not yours. Even if you hold it in your hands, it's not yours.
"Two escaped. One is a Human-Demon hybrid, and the other is a human Blue Robed Emperor."
"It's very weak, but we can kill it."
"Chase!"
The three of them spoke in an extremely simple manner. Their minds were calm, and they were extremely calm about breaking free from the seal.
Come to think of it, he'd been sealed for over a million years, so his mental state had probably become a dead sea, and it was very difficult for it to fluctuate due to external factors.
Sou sou sou!
Figures flashed. Three expressionless purple-clad men wielding Divine Weapons quickly gave chase in the direction that Xiao Chen and Dugu Ao had fled.
Their speed was unimaginably fast. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were teleporting.
Although they could not tear space, they seemed to have some mysteries of the state of space in them. Compared to ordinary Movement Techniques, they were much more exquisite.
After fifteen minutes, the three saw Xiao Chen and Dugu Ao's figures. Without saying anything, they each sent out a sword strike.
Three terrifying Sword Qi sliced through the space like tofu, tearing open a neat black crack that continued to extend forward.
Xiao Chen checked his surroundings. He knew that he could not block them with his Martial Techniques. So, he did a series of extreme movements with his feet in the air, brushing past the cracks created by the three sword Qi.
A black crack flew by Xiao Chen's face, silently chopping off his fine black hair. This startled Xiao Chen into breaking out in a cold sweat.
For the sake of dodging the sword Qi, Xiao Chen and Dugu Ao's speed decreased significantly. The distance between them slowly shortened.
The purple-clad men were like the grim reaper. As long as the two got close, only death awaited them.
Sword Qi flew everywhere, creating spatial cracks and turning the cavern into a mess. The rocks above their heads kept falling, creating quite a bit of obstruction for the two of them to escape.
With their lives hanging by a thread, Xiao Chen was extremely focused. His mind was clear; he did not give up at all.
As long as they reached the stone wall where the Qing Emperor left those words, they would have a chance of survival.
Compared to Xiao Chen, Dugu Ao was in an even worse state. His body was already riddled with wounds from the sword Qi.
The Dragon's Gate's Qing Emperor was here!
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. He finally saw those eight ancient and modern words. However, when he looked back, eighteen crisscrossing sword Qi appeared behind him, not giving him a chance to dodge at all.
As for the three purple-clad men, they followed unhurriedly, one step at a time. They looked at the two like they were already dead.
At the critical moment, Xiao Chen unfurled the Freedom Wings and increased his speed by another twenty percent. He pushed off the ground and landed at the foot of the stone wall before the sword Qi arrived.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to wipe away the eight words and unleash the Qing Emperor's powerful killing move, he glanced around and happened to see Dugu Ao, who was about to be swallowed up by the sword Qi.
At this moment, if Xiao Chen materialized the Blue Dragon Battle Armor and endured the damage of the eighteen sword Qi, he would have an eighty percent chance of saving Dugu Ao.
However, once he failed, Xiao Chen would die a miserable death. Even if he managed to save Dugu Ao, he would definitely end up severely injured.
To save or not to save?
To save or not to save?
This was truly a difficult problem. There was not much time left for Xiao Chen. If he delayed, he would lose the right to choose.
"Save!"
Decisiveness flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. Since there was an eighty percent chance of saving, why should he leave Dugu Ao to die?
Although Xiao Chen was not a goody-two-shoes, he could only watch as someone died before him. He clearly had a chance to save Dugu Ao, but he did not do so.
In the future, when Xiao Chen recalled this, he would definitely feel guilty. He was not a cold-blooded person by nature, so there was no need for him to lie to himself.
Putting away the Freedom Wings, Xiao Chen materialized the Blue Dragon Battle Armor. The instant the Battle Armor covered his entire body, he flew over to Dugu Ao's back.
When Dugu Ao, who had been waiting for death, saw Xiao Chen arrive, intense shock flashed in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen still came to save him at this moment.
Just as the eighteen sword Qi were about to swallow up Dugu Ao, Xiao Chen picked him up and tossed him forward, blocking the eighteen sword Qi tearing space by himself.
When the sword Qi struck Xiao Chen's back, this sword Qi, which could tear space apart, paused for the first time when it encountered Xiao Chen's third layer of the Blue Dragon Battle Armor.
Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood as the eighteen sword Qi knocked him back.
Eighteen horrifying wounds appeared on the Battle Armor on Dugu Ao's back. Blood flowed out, and the wounds penetrated deep into his bones.
Using the rebound of these eighteen sword Qi, Xiao Chen accelerated and landed beside Dugu Ao, his complexion pale.
When the three purple-clad men saw this scene, their expressions changed at the same time. Clearly, they were greatly shocked at Xiao Chen's successful escape.
To think that the strong sword Qi that Xiao Chen brought out with the Distant Distant Divine Weapon did not chop this person into pieces.
"A peak Sage Body and the Blue Dragon Battle Armor. No wonder his defense is so strong. However, these two are severely injured. Even if they managed to escape this calamity, they will still die. "
The purple-clad man in the middle was stunned for a moment before recovering.
The extremely weak Dugu Ao smiled bitterly and said, "Unfortunately, there is no way for me to repay the favor I owe you. You should not have turned around to save me and ended up sacrificing yourself."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Just live on properly. You still have to repay the favor you owe me. If I was not confident, I would not have made a move. "
Seeing the three purple-clad men appear in his vision, Xiao Chen quickly made his move, erasing the words that the Qing Emperor left on the stone wall.
"Boom!"
The instant all the words were erased, a figure suddenly appeared from the wall.
That person was dressed in azure, looking like a celestial being as he walked out of the void. He was like a sovereign among men, exuding a tyrannical aura. Just his figure alone was enough to make people prostrate themselves in worship.
Before the three purple-clad men could clearly see this figure, a bright saber light blinded them.
Following that was a horrifying killing move. Under this saber light, the space in front shattered into countless pieces like a mirror.
This was the true meaning of slicing through space. Everything within that space would be destroyed.
The instant the three purple-clad men's corpses shattered, Xiao Chen vaguely saw three tiny figures that looked like Yuanying trying to flee.
In the end, space completely shattered. The instant the Yuanying appeared, the saber Qi scattered it, thoroughly killing it.
Dugu Ao and Xiao Chen fell to the ground. As they looked at the shattered space in front, they felt a lingering fear and shock.
Compared to that earlier saber strike, the sword Qi that the purple-clad men sent out earlier was nothing.
Destroying space with one saber strike was true strength, not relying on the sharpness of a Distant Ancient Divine Weapon to barely tear open space.
If it were this saber strike, even if Xiao Chen were ten times more courageous, he would not dare to take it head-on.
"You knew long ago?"
Dugu Ao, who had just survived a calamity, asked as he looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded. "The moment I touched the words, I knew."
As Dugu Ao spoke, Xiao Chen swallowed a Medicinal Pill for treating injuries. Then, he circulated his energy and headed for the slowly merging space in front.
"What are you doing?"
"Checking to see if they are all dead or not," Xiao Chen answered without even turning his head.
Dugu Ao gaped in shock. Xiao Chen was too cautious. Even after all that, they were still alive.
As Xiao Chen walked over, he looked around. Aside from the three Distant Ancient Divine Weapons, there were no longer any remnants of the purple-clad men's bodies.
Xiao Chen did not feel at ease. He closed his eyes and sent out his Spiritual Sense, carefully scanning the place. After verifying that there were no traces of mental energy, he finally relaxed.
Xiao Chen could not help but be cautious. At the crucial moment, he saw the tiny figures coming out of the three men's bodies, startling him.
They were simply too similar to an Immortal Cultivator's Yuanying. When Xiao Chen thought about it, these things could be revived by a pile of dragon bones even after a million years. There was no harm in being cautious.
"How is it? Are they all dead?" Dugu Ao asked as he walked over.
"They should be all dead."
"In that case, what do you intend to do with these Distant Ancient Divine Weapons?"
"Plug them back in. Put them back in the way they were originally placed."
