Chapter 739: Divine Retribution?! Luo Zhen, Who Have You Harmed?!
The devil cultivators were almost at the city gates.
Chu Ye led an elite force and charged out to fight.
The night was thick with darkness, and even the sentries standing on the city walls couldn’t see the battle clearly.
Chu Yan wasn’t idle either.
His sixth sister had given him many talismans, and tonight was the perfect moment to use them!
He was going to rearrange the formation!
Chu Hanlin was surprised. "Your Highness... you know how to do this?"
"I’ve read a few books, and I know a little," Chu Yan replied, already searching for the right talismans.
He had once transferred talismans to his servant for protection, and he believed he had some talent in using talismans for formations.
The sixth sister had quite a few talismans.
His mind was racing, and he remembered a particular talisman formation that required exactly the talismans he had on hand.
He took out a compass, set the direction, and activated the talismans one by one on the eight cardinal positions of the formation.
At this moment, a devil cultivator had crossed the Mu Nation’s elite troops and was about to rush into the city gates!
"Your Highness!" Chu Hanlin shouted in alarm, rushing forward to protect Chu Yan.
But as soon as the devil cultivator stepped into the formation, it let out a scream as black smoke poured from its body.
Its body went limp and collapsed.
There was no more breath.
The other deputy commanders were both surprised and excited. "The formation Your Highness set is truly effective!"
Chu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he hadn’t let everyone down.
This Yan Town must not fall!
Chu Hanlin looked at Chu Yan with a hint of satisfaction.
This was the good son he and Madam Shen had painstakingly raised!
After finishing the talisman formation, Chu Yan applied talismans to the weapons of the deputy commanders and a batch of front-line soldiers, ordering them to block the city gates.
He and Chu Hanlin then climbed up the city wall to see how the battle was going.
The night was pitch dark, and Chu Hanlin couldn’t see much.
But Chu Yan’s physique was no longer what it had been.
His complexion was slightly pale.
Because most of Mu Nation’s elite had been killed!
There were many enemy soldiers, and they were ruthless. They killed to absorb the blood essence of Mu Nation’s elites!
As long as they absorbed it, their power seemed to increase.
Meanwhile, Chu Ye had killed quite a few enemy soldiers, but he was surrounded by the enemy!
With his personal strength, he couldn’t break free.
The devil cultivators, seeing Chu Ye, were all thrilled. This man’s soul and blood essence were extraordinary. If they could drain him of his essence, their power would certainly multiply!
"This one’s mine!"
"Yours? I saw him first!"
"You saw him? I’m the one who wounded him first. He’s mine!"
"..."
The devil cultivators had a rule—if you couldn’t argue, just fight it out!
Whoever stood last would get the prize.
They began fighting fiercely, with no mercy. Severed hands and feet were common, and several heads were thrown to Chu Ye’s feet.
A few devil cultivators, now headless, looked at Chu Ye and became excited again.
This man was tall and handsome—wasn’t it even better to occupy his body!?
The devil cultivators rushed over again.
"I’m the fastest!"
One devil cultivator shouted in excitement, but just as he was about to invade Chu Ye’s body, he was burned by the golden light radiating from Chu Ye!
The devil cultivator’s face twisted in agony as he screamed.
His voice was terrifying.
Chu Ye immediately struck the devil cultivator down.
But he couldn’t feel happy.
Though the elite soldiers had killed many of the enemy, they too had their blood essence drained.
They couldn’t withstand these evil enemies!
The battle was lost!
But as Chu Ye thought about how the enemy soldiers would break through this last defense, he knew that whether it was his father, his brother, or the innocent citizens of Yan Town, they would all be in danger!
No, even if he had just one breath left, he would keep fighting!
Chu Ye shouted angrily and swung his sword, cutting down four or five devil cultivators in an instant.
But just as he continued to kill, a fierce aura suddenly descended from the dark night.
Fortunately, Chu Ye reacted quickly and dodged.
But even so, that aura was sharp and wounded his lungs.
He pressed his hand to his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. His limbs felt weak, and he fell to his knees.
The devil cultivators saw this and were about to charge forward.
"Hold on."
Luo Zhen stepped out from the crowd of devil cultivators, standing ten steps away from Chu Ye. He looked at Chu Ye coldly.
"You are Chu Yan?" he asked in a cold voice.
Chu Ye felt the oppressive force coming from him, and his body involuntarily trembled.
But he swallowed hard and said, "Who are you? Why can you command these evil soldiers?!"
The aura from Luo Zhen and the devil cultivators was completely different.
"Haha, it was clearly my turn to ask first. You didn’t answer, yet you dared to ask me back." Luo Zhen squinted his eyes. "Fine, anyway, Chu Yan is in Yan Town. I’ll just kill everyone in the city, leaving no survivors."
He raised his hand, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Chu Ye.
But just as his palm was about to fall, a person suddenly appeared before him!
A talisman flew toward him!
Flames immediately erupted!
Luo Zhen was startled, but how could he be afraid of a Fire Talisman? His spiritual power scattered, and the fire dragon couldn’t approach; it exploded in midair with a loud crash.
The spiritual pressure spread outward.
The devil cultivators couldn’t withstand it and quickly retreated.
The attacking man was also shaken back, but his cultivation was still decent. He flipped mid-air to absorb much of the spiritual force and quickly reached Chu Ye’s side, shielding his brother.
With Chu Yan’s protection, Chu Ye’s injuries didn’t worsen.
However, Chu Yan was still injured by the dispersed spiritual power, feeling as though his organs were being twisted by blades. He groaned in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Fifth brother!" Chu Ye exclaimed. As the older brother, seeing his younger brother standing in front of him and getting seriously injured, how could he forgive himself?
"Big brother, I... I’m fine." Chu Yan said weakly, but then he coughed up more blood.
"Fifth brother..."
Chu Ye supported Chu Yan’s shoulder and had already drawn out a Teleportation Talisman.
But Luo Zhen had long been prepared. Seeing Chu Ye’s movement, he immediately flicked his sleeve and struck out with a blast of spiritual force.
It was fast and fierce.
Chu Ye realized it was bad and could only focus on protecting Chu Yan as they dodged.
When he tried to use the Teleportation Talisman again, Luo Zhen had already leaped in front of the brothers.
He flicked his finger and tore the Teleportation Talisman to shreds.
Before Chu Ye could react, Luo Zhen slapped him in the chest.
The sound of the wind breaking was ear-piercing.
Chu Ye couldn’t move. He knew that Luo Zhen’s strength far surpassed his own, and he had no chance of resisting.
However—
Chu Yan still didn’t hesitate to stand in front.
Bang!
The palm landed.
Chu Yan didn’t even have time to scream. After taking the blow, his body tilted to the side and fell.
"Fifth brother!" Chu Ye shouted.
The sky darkened, and thunderclouds gathered.
Lightning flashed, and with each thunderclap, the bodies of the devil cultivators trembled.
"What is this...?" a devil cultivator exclaimed in fear. "Divine retribution?! Luo Zhen, who did you harm?!"
Luo Zhen saw the armor on Chu Yan and heard Chu Ye call out "Fifth brother." With the thunderclouds now gathered, how could he not realize that the young man in front of him was none other than Chu Yan?
The very person Qingwu had ordered him to kill!
The future Human Emperor!
