Meanwhile, in the valley, a man was walking nonchalantly around the Spirit Field.
He occasionally looked down, his eyes falling on small magic arrays, his gaze reflecting his amusement.
The surrounding chaos seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Seeing an old woman flying towards him, he frowned and casually threw a few Array Flags.
Then, a brilliant golden light filled the sky!
Midair.
Luo Chen was among the crowd, flying towards the outside.
If he were alone, he could have effortlessly escaped.
But his friends were still here.
Without dire necessity, he could not abandon them and flee alone.
"Hallmaster, we will create an escape opportunity for you shortly. I know you’re speedy, so don’t miss the chance!"
Luo Chen looked at the retreating figures of Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang in front, sighed, and moved his lips.
"At this point, there is no longer a need to fulfill the duty of protection, you guys should just try to protect yourselves!"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanli remained silent.
Not just him, Liu Qiang and Dong Fangliang happened to do the same.
In that instant, Luo Chen realized something.
Those who were sent to protect him must doubtlessly be the most trusted by Mi Shuhua.
Yet, this group of bodyguards clearly had not earned Mi Shuhua’s complete trust.
So how could they have been assigned here?
Could it be that they were not afraid, in the face of danger, to abandon Luo Chen and run for their lives?
There was only one possible reason!
It was that Mi Shuhua must have made his move on them.
Only this reason could explain why they were still determined to protect Luo Chen to the death up till now.
As thoughts raced through his mind, a figure had already blocked their way.
"Dan Chenzi, you owe me a palm strike. Here to collect!"
It was Dan Xiu, the calamity cultivator from the Xuelian District!
He was brimming with fighting spirit, a large black pair of scissors circling overhead. It was the same Ascendant Grade Magic Tool that emitted a dark light and attacked Luo Chen previously.
That time, Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang teamed up and blocked it.
And this time, it was the same.
"Get out of my way!"
He roared angrily, but Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang held their ground unyieldingly, their blades and swords circling around and engaged him in a deadlock.
"Go!"
Murong Qinglian grabbed Luo Chen, and together with Gu Caiyi, they protected him and flew to the side.
The other late-stage cultivators from the Broken Mountain Gang were also entangled by enemies nearby.
"Just stay!"
A sigh echoed.
A cultivator in blue clothes, standing in front, his robe flying without wind.
Murong Qinglian coldly laughed, let go of Luo Chen, and struck first.
"Caiyi, take Luo Chen away!"
"Yes, Sister Qinglian, take care!"
Gu Caiyi was tense as she led Luo Chen to escape.
But the man didn’t move at all.
"What’s wrong?"
"We can’t go now!"
Luo Chen chuckled, looking at the blue dragon covered in blood mist, roaring towards them.
Gu Caiyi’s face changed drastically. The speed was too fast, she couldn’t react in time.
It was too late to activate the Defensive Magic Tool on her body to protect Luo Chen.
"So, after telling him to leave, am I going to watch him die in front of me?"
These thoughts flashed through her mind.
Almost in a trance, she saw four colors of tassels fall from the sky.
Boom!
Luo Chen pulled Gu Caiyi back, retreating continuously.
Above his head, the Four Symbols Tripod bloomed with colorful light, tassel after tassel entangled the blue dragon.
Suddenly, Luo Chen pushed Gu Caiyi away.
"Go help my sister-in-law!"
As Gu Caiyi was flung out, she looked back.
Luo Chen was wearing a green robe, with the four-colored Tripod above his head, and a red spear in his hand.
In front of him, a short figure reached out his hand.
Two bluish spears emerged, revealing their True Bodies.
"Brother Gao Er, nice to see you again!"
Luo Chen smiled lightly, holding his spear diagonally with the spear tip getting increasingly red, the intense high temperature seemed as if it would melt the void.
