Chapter 701: 696, He Nian, you better seek your own blessings. Embedded in the ground, Long Ye struggled to raise his head, gritting his teeth, he looked in the direction He Nian was heading.
But Long Ye could only see the pile of rubble in front of him, and the tumbling Bai Chen far off in the distance.
He wanted to raise his head a little higher, but his body refused to comply.
After three hammer strikes, the Celestial Materials and Earthly Treasures he consumed in recent days were completely wasted, the injuries returning to what they were a few days before.
Of course, this wasn’t the most urgent matter.
The most pressing matter at hand was He Nian rushing toward Long Yue.
The burdened Wen Yan running with Long Yue on his back would undoubtedly become the primary target.
"This guy actually cultivated the Earth Level Vein Skill into a Secret Technique..." Long Ye gritted his teeth, propping himself on his palms, attempting to climb up.
After several attempts, Long Ye finally managed to free himself from the ground.
Toward the direction He Nian was heading, Long Ye strained every muscle in his body to shout: "He Nian, don’t do something stupid!"
He Nian did not turn around, plunging into the crowd like a boulder.
The people around immediately began to disperse, screaming and running backward.
The three Golden Level Chiefs of the Hundred Sects Alliance witnessed this, not daring to approach and impede He Nian’s steps; they could only guide the citizens of Cangwu City.
After the crowd dispersed, Wen Yan, still running backward with Long Yue, came into view.
"You are truly courting death."
He Nian revealed a look of displeasure, and with a lift of his hand, a Vein Qi Condensed Saber was thrown out, aiming to sever Wen Yan’s legs.
The few Mountain Suppression Realm guards hurriedly intercepted, although they blocked the saber, they were all knocked flying by He Nian’s advancing hammer strike.
After hammering away those Mountain Suppression Realm guards, He Nian’s right hand formed into a claw, condensing a dirt-yellow eagle claw, reaching for Wen Yan and Long Yue.
Long Ye, who had climbed up, watched this scene from afar, his heart almost leaping out, shouting hysterically: "He Nian, you damned fool, stop! You want to die, but I still want to live!"
If caught, Long Yue would be unharmed.
Because that eagle claw was merely condensed from Vein Qi.
It could only harm Mountain Suppression Realm.
But Wen Yan was different, once caught, he would be crushed to death.
If anything were to happen to Wen Yan, he would have to follow suit to the grave.
Despite hearing Long Ye’s shout, He Nian remained indifferent.
What he was about to do could not be stopped even by Long Ye being right in front of him, let alone those ineffectual words.
"Come to me!"
With an angry shout, the eagle claw was about to catch Long Yue.
Suddenly.
A lightning-like streak of white light crossed and vanished instantly.
Its disappearance also took away the massive eagle claw.
Upon a closer look, it seemed as if the eagle claw had never appeared at all. If it weren’t for the lingering Vein Qi traces in the air, no one would understand what had just happened.
"Who!"
"Who!"
He Nian gripped the hammer, alertly scanning his surroundings.
The white light vanished...
There was hardly anyone around.
"Hear my summons..." But suddenly, this voice emanated from afar.
Accompanying its arrival, the entire world suddenly turned cold as if it was an ice cellar.
Death’s breath began to permeate.
A heart-palpitating feeling welled up.
Seeing this, Long Ye’s face immediately changed; he knew what was happening.
"I’ve already... tried my best."
Long Ye said this helplessly and looked around, searching for Wen Ping.
And spread his body, showing his injuries to Wen Ping.
Thinking Long Ye was speaking to him, He Nian hurriedly asked: "Long Ye, did you do this?"
Long Ye was initially a bit apprehensive, but realizing Wen Ping was dealing with He Nian, he immediately grinned smugly and said: "If you had honestly fought me, wouldn’t that be better than trying to harm others... Good luck to you."
Having said that, Long Ye retreated holding his injured shoulder, stumbling as he walked.
After taking a few steps, under the night sky came a towering, majestic white figure, blocking out the sky as it approached.
Devouring Beast!
