Chapter 741: The Human Emperor... Has Returned!

Chu Yang was not willing to fall behind, and said, "Just in time, I also want to show you what happens to those who harm my Chu family!"

"Such big words!"

Luo Zhen had just assessed Chu Yang’s cultivation level, and his expression became even more disdainful. Though the moves were many, in the end, he was still at the Base Building stage—how could he possibly stand against me?

Luo Zhen had no intention of holding back against Chu Yang’s arrogance. He raised his sword, its cold light glaring.

With a swift step, he rushed forward at an incredible speed. His figure was so fast that ordinary eyes could not catch a glimpse of his movement.

Chu Yan’s heart tightened, "Fourth brother, be careful!"

"Got it!" Chu Yang remained unmoved, closing his eyes.

When Luo Zhen attacked, he was sure he would be able to block the strike quickly and accurately.

After several exchanges, Luo Zhen had already realized that Chu Yang’s cultivation technique was no ordinary one. Now, it seemed that Luo Zhen only had the advantage in terms of spiritual power.

Luo Zhen wasn’t holding back. He gathered all his spiritual energy, intending to shatter Chu Yang with a single strike.

The sword Qi rushed forward, fierce and powerful.

This was a strike that Chu Yang could never block.

He should dodge.

He could easily dodge to save his life.

But behind him were his brothers!

Chu Yang’s face tightened, and he immediately used all his spiritual power to strike with his own sword!

Two sword energies collided in midair, causing a violent wind to swirl around them.

With a loud bang, the clash soon revealed who had the upper hand.

Luo Zhen’s sword energy prevailed, rushing forward with the force of thunder!

Chu Yang had just exhausted all his spiritual energy, and there was no surplus left to protect himself.

But thinking of his brothers behind him, he stood firm and took the full impact of the sword energy.

A fresh bloodstain appeared on his previously healed chest.

Chu Yang felt as though his Dantian was damaged, and his strength drained. He fell to the ground.

He was too weak.

He was only at the Base Building stage and could never defeat the old man across from him.

Seeing that his full-power strike had not shattered Chu Yang, Luo Zhen’s eyes flashed with surprise.

This kid’s body is too resilient.

Ordinary Base Building cultivators would have shattered under such a blow.

However, it wasn’t a problem. This kid’s heart veins were severed; now, he only had a faint breath holding onto his life.

To think of fighting me again?

Impossible!

Luo Zhen stepped forward, and when he reached Chu Yang’s side, he paused. "Useless fool, I’m going to kill your brother now. What are you going to do about it?"

He laughed and walked towards Chu Yan.

The delay had already been long enough.

He raised his sword to strike.

Chu Yan closed his eyes, and the sound of thunder filled his ears.

But no pain followed. Instead, a new wave of blood filled his nostrils.

He opened his eyes.

Chu Yang was standing before him once again, gripping Luo Zhen’s long sword with his right hand.

"Fourth... Fourth brother!" Chu Yan was stunned.

"Don’t be afraid. As your older brother, I will definitely protect you," Chu Yang said.

He would not fall until the very last moment!

Chu Yan’s tears flowed instantly.

Clearly... clearly, he wasn’t their biological brother!

Luo Zhen could not stand the sight of such brotherly love and was filled with rage. "Then you will die together!"

With a swing of his left hand, he struck out!

Knowing he could no longer stop this attack, Chu Yang still threw himself in front of Chu Yan without hesitation.

"Fourth brother!!!"

Chu Yan shouted.

Suddenly, a fierce aura erupted from around him, whipping up a violent wind, blocking Luo Zhen’s attack and preventing the spiritual power from advancing any further.

"What is this..." Luo Zhen widened his eyes.

The thunderous roar ceased.

The thunderclouds dissipated.

A radiant golden light poured down from the heavens, landing on Chu Yan.

His robes and scattered hair swirled in the air.

The golden light intensified, making the aura around Chu Yan even more intense!

"Don’t even think about it—"

Chu Yan felt his body brimming with power, and this power was strangely unique. Even he couldn’t understand the source of it.

"Touch my family!"

With his words, the aura surged even more, the wind howling fiercely.

The aura spread out, engulfing Luo Zhen’s body!

"Ah!!!"

Luo Zhen was sent flying, and before he even hit the ground, his heart veins and Dantian cracked open in an instant.

He vomited blood wildly, crashing hard to the ground.

He still had a faint breath remaining.

What was that he saw?

The once barren land seemed to have a trace of spiritual energy seeping out at that moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chu Yan, disbelief written all over his face.

Human Emperor...

Has returned!

With no more strength left, his head tilted, and he lost all breath.

Similarly, Chu Yang was stunned.

The pure spiritual energy gathered in an instant, seeping into his muscles and bones, healing his injuries.

Not just him, even Chu Ye experienced the same treatment.

Chu Yan watched as the bloodstain on Chu Yang’s chest slowly healed, finally revealing a smile.

The golden light that had fallen from the heavens dissipated.

Chu Yan’s face was pale, and his body wavered, almost collapsing. "Big brother, Fourth brother..."

He could now protect his family.

Even if it was only for this one moment, it was enough to release the knot in his heart.

With a curved smile, Chu Yan had exhausted all his strength and closed his eyes, falling unconscious.

"Fifth brother!"

Chu Yang quickly caught him, confirming that Chu Yan still had a steady breath before letting out a sigh of relief.

With the help of the spiritual energy, Chu Ye’s injuries were improving, but moving even slightly still caused sharp pain.

Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and pushed himself to Chu Yan’s side, asking, "How is Fifth brother?"

"It seems like he fainted from exhaustion, but it’s not serious," Chu Yang said.

"That’s good, that’s good." Chu Ye muttered, combing Chu Yan’s disheveled hair.

He hadn’t fully recovered from the shock of what had just happened and looked at Chu Yan with a curious gaze.

Fifth brother’s ability to release such power must be related to the so-called Human Emperor that person spoke of.

Before the two brothers could investigate further, a loud noise came from the back.

The city gates had been breached!

The devil cultivators cheered and rushed into Yan Town, engaging in battle with the soldiers of Mu Nation.

They had just absorbed the blood essence of Mu Nation’s elite, gaining some strength. The soldiers of Mu Nation now looked like weak, insignificant ants before them.

The massacre began!

The soldiers, who had once feared nothing, now saw the devil cultivators’ ferocity and the sight of their comrades being drained into dry husks. Many of them turned pale and fled in panic.

Chu Hanlin shouted:

"We are soldiers! We cannot retreat!"

"Every enemy soldier we kill makes the people safer!"

"Think of our families, Yan Town’s defenses cannot fall!"

In the midst of the chaos, Chu Hanlin’s voice rang out loud and clear.

The soldiers’ fear began to dissipate, and they no longer retreated.

But what good did that do?

Chu Hanlin was the first to be knocked over by a devil cultivator.

The devil cultivator sneered. "General, you truly are loyal to your country."

Before Chu Hanlin could get up, the devil cultivator stomped on him.

"You stir up their fighting spirit, but so what? Even the most well-trained soldiers are just mere mortals," the devil cultivator said. "Remember, you are nothing but our food!"

Saying that, he reached out a claw to drain Chu Hanlin’s blood essence!
