The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2250 - 2239: Desperate Situation?

Seeing the Immortal Artifact Sky Blade gripped by Li Yuanmu, Luo Qianjiang, Zhao Wanfu, Jin Hongsheng, and the other Divine King Realm powerhouses stood momentarily stunned. No tales existed in the Heavenly Sword Sect of an Immortal Artifact called Sky Blade.

Immortal Artifacts proved extremely rare across the Tian Xuan Realm, despite the presence of several half-step Immortal Artifacts.

A blood-red luminescence covered the entire Sky Blade. Upon Li Yuanmu channeling Spiritual Energy into it, a heavy, sharp blood odor drifted out, as though blood rivers coursed along its surface.

"Whoosh!"

Abruptly, the Sky Blade burst from Li Yuanmu’s palm toward the heavens, dragging a lengthy streak of crimson light like a scarlet dragon climbing skyward.

High above the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, the crimson Sky Blade dangled, pulsing forth endless waves of red power.

In that instant, the vista recalled a primordial killing field.

Like a executioner’s axe poised in the air, the Sky Blade loomed, with the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin below resembling a doomed felon set for the blade.

From the city tower, Yun Rong, Xiao Yongzhan, and their allies spotted Li Yuanmu brandishing an Immortal Artifact of mighty aura. Faces shifting in shock, they hurriedly triggered the tower’s Teleportation Array, transporting themselves to the grand plaza of the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Crafted by Zhao Xingtu and comrades from the Array Magic Pavilion, the city tower Teleportation Array enabled swift transit from tower to square, bridging the notable distance between them.

Beyond the city gates, Li Yuanmu directed his palm skyward at the Sky Blade, unleashing a beam of Spiritual Energy that fused into it. Thus, he fueled the Sky Blade’s activation with his Spiritual Energy.

After short deliberation, Luo Qianjiang, Zhao Wanfu, and fellow Divine King Realm masters clustered beside Li Yuanmu. They likewise extended palms toward the heavenly Sky Blade, streaming multicolored pillars of Spiritual Energy into it.

United by countless Divine King Realm powerhouses, the overhead blood-red Sky Blade swiftly commenced fierce shuddering.

Simultaneously.

Within the expansive plaza of the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Teleported here came Yun Rong, Xiao Yongzhan, and the rest, joined by all defenders of the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Zhao Xingtu and his group madly channeled Spiritual Energy into a massive cyan sword stabbed into the ground. Dubbed the Immortal Artifact Heavenly Cyan Shield, this sword birthed the azure barrier shielding the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Reaching the plaza, Yun Rong and others leaped into the fray, devoting full vigor to infusing Spiritual Energy into the Heavenly Cyan Shield, for the sky’s Sky Blade betrayed imminent unleashing.

Deep furrows creased the brows of Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan. As the lavish young misses of the Wu and Jiang clans, their broad erudition sparked dread that the aerial Sky Blade outclassed the Heavenly Cyan Shield in tier.

What’s more, Divine King Realm experts numbered few in the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin. Liu Wenquan, that Ghost Cultivator, held Divine King Realm indeed, yet daylight ill-suited Ghost Cultivators, slashing their might sharply. Hence, Liu Wenquan and fellow Ghost Cultivators, even appearing, offered scant aid!

Beyond Liu Wenquan, Ye Chenfeng bequeathed an Initial Stage Divine King Puppet. Zhao Xingtu and allies had roused it already, the puppet ceaselessly feeding Spiritual Energy to the Heavenly Cyan Shield.

Furthermore, supporters of Ye Chenfeng from the Alchemy Pavilion, Artifact Refinement Pavilion, Talisman Master Pavilion, and Array Magic Pavilion boasted zero Divine King Realm experts, forging a massive chasm in Divine King Realm counts betwixt the opposing forces.

Compounding woes, should the foe’s Immortal Artifact surpass the Heavenly Cyan Shield’s grade, unease gripped Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan.

Increasingly ferocious tremors wracked the Sky Blade suspended over the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, whence a colossal blood-red blade shadow erupted in the firmament, radiating power to split peaks and sever streams.

Solemnity etched the faces of Li Yuanmu and the Sky Blade-wielding Divine King Realm experts. Glances exchanged, they swept palms at the Sky Blade.

The Sky Blade above the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin hacked downward at the Heavenly Cyan Shield, as the titanic blood-red blade phantom crashed with world-rending force.

Upon the plaza, Zhao Xingtu, Yun Rong, Wu Lingxiang, and companions surged Spiritual Energy ever fiercer through the rivers in their meridians.

"Boom!" A massive blast reverberated.

The crimson blade phantom slammed into the cyan protective shield, unleashing a thunderous crash that boomed across heaven and earth. Waves rippled across the cyan protective shield, turning the faces of Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, and the others ashen.

Beyond the city gates, Li Yuanmu and the other Divine King Realm powerhouses saw the Heavenly Cyan Shield holding firm at first. They raised their hands once more before dropping them, sending the Sky Blade overhead surging up and crashing down again.

This gesture was performed by them again and again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Explosions thundered endlessly.

Following around ten strikes, the noise shifted dramatically. After a deafening "bang," the cyan protective shield over the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin quaked fiercely, cracks racing outward in every direction until it burst apart completely. The full barrier scattered into the void of heaven and earth.

The Immortal Artifact Heavenly Cyan Shield—the enormous cyan sword plunged into the earth—shot free from the ground, settling lifelessly in the right corner of the plaza.

At that instant, the power backlash assaulted Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, Zhao Xingtu, and the rest, hurling them stumbling back several paces as blood trickled from their mouths.

With the Heavenly Cyan Shield's defenses shattered, despair flooded the gazes of these defenders. The foes outnumbered them with far too many Divine King Realm experts. Shield gone, could they fight back at all? An abyss of hopelessness swallowed them whole—was this the bitter end?

Images of Ye Chenfeng flickered unbidden in their thoughts, yet confronting such a horde of Divine King Realm masters, even he might stand no chance.

Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan alone held their composure, lips pressed thin. They shared a meaningful look, hearts aching to whisk Ye Chenfeng to their clans for safety. His peerless gifts absolutely needed protection within the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.
