Chapter 1847 - 2039: Heavy Losses (Part 1)

At the foot of the mountain, under the siege of everyone, Su Cheng’en, single-handedly, not only remained unharmed but heavily injured Ji Gang and Tong Zhentian. Losing two combatants, everyone dared not attack aggressively again, instead trying to delay Su Cheng’en, leaving him no time to attend to Qiu Nanshan’s battle.

Meanwhile, at the peak of Qiu Nanshan, facing the dual attack of Ling Gengqiu and the middle-aged man, Chen Younian seemed quite relaxed, appearing unfazed by the pressure from the opponents.

"Ling Gengqiu, it’s been a few days, your strength has improved substantially, but unfortunately, compared to me, you’re still far from reaching my level." Chen Younian waved his hands, dealing with the two’s attacks while taunting them verbally.

Facing Chen Younian’s mockery, Ling Gengqiu remained unmoved, launching a frenzied offensive, every move killer-like. However, Chen Younian, who had fused with eighteen Soul Stones, was too formidable, even if he had fused with one Soul Stone, it was far from being a contest. Currently, the greatest hope lies in the expert from the guardian clan, the only one with enough strength to match Chen Younian.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Although the expert from the guardian clan has completed the second stage of evolution, Du Yunzhi once said that there was a minor accident during his evolution, causing brain damage that led to the loss of self-awareness. Now, he has become a puppet, only able to act on commands without independent thinking. In such a situation, even though his strength is comparable to Chen Younian, he still has certain weaknesses, unable to fully maximize his power. Therefore, with Ling Gengqiu’s assistance, the two can only barely match Chen Younian, making the possibility of defeating him very low.

Currently, the peak of Qiu Nanshan has turned into a battlefield, with members of the guardian clan busy defending against the Netherworld Snake assassins’ offensive, and Du Yunzhi, as the clan leader, is not idle either, being entangled by Chen Qinghua. As a Heavenly List expert, her strength is no match for Chen Qinghua, facing danger several times. Noticing her situation, Ling Gengqiu became anxious, wishing to rescue her but unable to spare the time.

"Surrender!" Chen Qinghua shouted coldly, "Unless you want the entire guardian clan to perish with you."

Du Yunzhi frowned, saying nothing. She kept her eyes on the developments on the field, with Su He joining in, the guardian clan members stood no chance, more than half have already fallen by his hand. Continuing this way, it won’t be long before the guardian clan is exterminated.

As long as Chen Younian remains alive, there is no hope for this battle. With swift thoughts, Du Yunzhi clenched her teeth, turning to Ling Gengqiu and said, "Move aside!"

Move aside? Ling Gengqiu paused for a moment, not reacting immediately. Just as he was thinking, Du Yunzhi suddenly uttered a string of strange words, using the clan’s unique dialect that only members could understand. As her voice fell, the expert from the guardian clan abruptly erupted, the momentum burst forth, charging towards Chen Younian.

Seeing the opponent’s steel fist approaching, Chen Younian sneered, unmoving, directly countering with a punch.

Boom!

The two fists collided, Chen Younian’s previously disdainful expression suddenly changed, a fierce power surged forward, forcing him to retreat several meters. Noticing such a change, Ling Gengqiu’s eyes brightened, unexpectedly finding the fellow with such formidable strength, had this been unleashed earlier, they wouldn’t have fallen into a passive situation.

Just as he was about to assist, Du Yunzhi’s voice spread over once more, "Don’t go over!"

Hearing this, Ling Gengqiu glanced at Du Yunzhi in puzzlement; she was busy dealing with Chen Qinghua, having no time to explain to him. Under these circumstances, Ling Gengqiu hesitated a moment, deciding to heed Du Yunzhi’s advice, refraining from interfering in the battle with Chen Younian, instead heading towards Du Yunzhi. Taking this opportunity, resolving the Chen Qinghua situation first would allow the guardian clan members a chance to breathe.

Seeing Ling Gengqiu charging directly towards her, Chen Qinghua’s face changed drastically, rushed to withdraw. "Let’s see how far you can go!" Ling Gengqiu lightly shouted, speed drastically increased, in the blink of an eye, he closed in on Chen Qinghua, both palms launching towards the opponent’s vital areas.

With no room to retreat, Chen Qinghua gritted her teeth, greeted Ling Gengqiu’s offensive with a punch, Inner Strength fiercely surged, gathered upon her fist.

Boom!

Fist and palm connected, strong power exploded from Ling Gengqiu’s palm, forming a vigorous force, directly blasting Chen Qinghua’s body flying. Upon the successful strike, Ling Gengqiu immediately seized the opportunity, rushing forward, before Chen Qinghua landed, he reached the opponent’s position, striking out a palm again.

"Watch out!" A loud shout echoed, Ling Gengqiu turned to see Su He quickly rushing towards this side, aiming to support Chen Qinghua. However, before he could get close, a figure suddenly flashed, blocking his path, it was Du Yunzhi. Seeing his path obstructed, Su He’s face darkened, without a word, he instantly launched an offensive, trying to break through Du Yunzhi’s defense.

Unfortunately, this delay gave Ling Gengqiu ample time.

A palm shot out, fierce power instantly engulfed Chen Qinghua, leaving no escape route. Puff! With a gush of fresh blood, Chen Qinghua’s face paled immensely, her body like a kite with a broken string, flew backwards. Watching Chen Qinghua’s airborne body, Ling Gengqiu glanced beneath his feet, gently flicking his toes, a fist-sized stone flew up. Then, with a powerful kick, the stone fired like a bullet, rapidly towards Chen Qinghua.

At this moment, having suffered immediate harm twice, Chen Qinghua was in an exhausted state, unable to control her body, watched helplessly as the stone approached, powerless but to endure its impact. When the stone hit her body, originally about to land, she flew back once more, straight past the mountain peak’s edge, directly falling towards the mountain base below.

Watching as Chen Qinghua’s silhouette disappeared beyond the mountain peak’s edge, Su He’s expression changed drastically, no longer daring to engage Du Yunzhi, hurriedly retreating. With Chen Qinghua dead, it was impossible for him alone to be a match for Du Yunzhi and Ling Gengqiu; if he wishes to survive, he must choose to escape.

Chen Younian... With swift thoughts, Su He glanced with his peripheral vision at the ongoing battle with Chen Younian. Whether victory can be achieved rests entirely on Chen Younian. As long as he defeats the guardian clan’s expert, even if they lose more people, it’s worthwhile. Hesitating for a moment, he found a hidden spot, staying low to quietly observe the battle between Chen Younian and the opponent.
