Chapter 2073 - Surrounded
Chapter 2073: Surrounded
The Godkings who had pursued Zi Yun at first and were shaken off after she burned her essence blood had finally all caught up. There were fifty to sixty Godking, and every single one of them radiated with powerful presences as they stood in the surroundings. They encircled them, trapping them inside.
Moreover, as these people pursued, they rapidly called for their friends, clansmen, seniors, or juniors who were in the Neptunean Divine Palace as well, gathering their strength such that they were more and more Godkings gathering from all directions.
The Godkings who surrounded them rapidly increased, forming an unbreachable encirclement around them, trapping Jian Chen and Kai Ya with Zi Yun and so on inside.
They all stared at Zi Yun. Even though some of them originated from large organisations, they were still unable to resist the enticement of a Chaotic Prime’s legacy.
However, none of them dared to attack first. They maintained a certain distance from one another. As they stared at Zi Yun, they were also cautious of the people around them.
Jian Chen slowly looked around and frowned. An assassin with the Laws of Darkness had attacked them before, which wasted time. Afterwards, due to what happened with Xiao Man, they wasted some more time, causing them to lose their perfect opportunity to escape, and they fell into an encirclement.
Jian Chen looked at Xiao Man as he felt secretly troubled. With his and Kai Ya’s strength, he was confident that they could kill their way out of the encirclement as long as supreme experts of the Godkings’ Throne did not appear. However, he was unable to approach Xiao Man at all due to the protection from the mysterious power, so it was naturally impossible for him to take her with him.
He could not just abandon Xiao Man there all by herself while he and Kai Ya killed their way out with Zi Yun, right?
At this moment, another few Godkings flew over from the distance and joined the encirclement. However, when they saw Jian Chen, they immediately became overjoyed, “Jian Chen, I never thought you’d be here. We’ve looked so hard for you.”
The surrounding Godkings were all surprised when they heard the name, but they became overjoyed as well soon after.
“What? He’s Jian Chen? The guy who’s rumored to have taken a large amount of God Tier heavenly resources from the Divine Medicinal Garden?”
“He’s actually Jian Chen? Hahaha, looks like luck triumphs hard work. We’ve actually found him so easily.”
“It’s said that Jian Chen and a group of people dug up a quarter of all the heavenly resources in the Divine Medicinal Garden. Tsktsk, there are over a thousand heavenly resources in there, so a quarter of that is over two hundred…”
Although only a select few of the surrounding Godkings had seen the image projected from the past, the fact that a quarter of the entire Divine Medicinal Garden had been emptied spread throughout the entire ninth floor like wildfire. It reached the ears of everyone in a short amount of time, so everyone gained a deep impression of the name ‘Jian Chen.’ The only exception would be those people in secluded cultivation.
Immediately, everyone shifted their gazes from Zi Yun to Jian Chen. They all showed greedy expressions without putting any effort to hide it. They all seemed like they were looking at a huge piece of treasure.
Some people treated Jian Chen with even more importance that Zi Yun. Indeed, a Chaotic Prime’s legacy interested them all, but there was only one of it after all. No one was confident about obtaining it.
However, the God Tier heavenly resources on Jian Chen was different. Even with so many of them, it was enough for them to all get a share of it.
“Everyone, be careful. Jian Chen is very powerful, and he cannot be underestimated. When he was an Overgod, he killed many Godkings in the Divine Medicinal Garden, and even Mo Cheng who ranked first on the Overgods’ Plaque lost to him. He’s very hard to deal with. Now that his strength has broken through again, and he has become a Godking, his battle prowess must be even greater…” Godkings called out in the group as their eyes were filled with angst. They had personally taken part in that battle, so they understood Jian Chen’s strength extremely well.
“Everyone, Jian Chen is indeed very powerful. Although he’s only an early Godking, his battle prowess is extremely impressive. Look at my arm. My arm was cut off by Jian Chen, and even the supreme quality saint artifact in his hand was taken from me. What is hilarious is that although I’m a late Godking, I’m not his opponent at all. The lady beside Jian Chen is very powerful as well. You must all be careful. Don’t let them escape out of carelessness,” the young man who had his arm chopped off by Jian Chen called out. He looked at Jian Chen with intense hatred.
Previously, for the sake of surviving, he could not help but be submissive before Jian Chen, and it was to the point where he did not dare to show any resentment at all. However, now that Jian Chen was in trouble, he naturally could not continue to keep it all inside. He wanted revenge for his arm.
With these warnings, the surrounding Godkings all became cautious.
“Don’t worry. Jian Chen can’t escape today. Everything he has gained from the Divine Medicinal Garden will be handed over.”
After several dozen Godkings surrounded Jian Chen, along with the number of them rapidly increasing, many people believed that Jian Chen was done for now.
However, as the person involved in all of this, Jian Chen ignored the surrounding situation completely. He looked at Zi Yun with a slight frown and said, “Try to see if you can approach your sister.”
“Hmph, Jian Chen, you’re still worrying about other people at a time like this. You better worry about how you’re going to survive,” the young man with a severed arm sneered at the back of the encirclement. He stared at the supreme quality saint artifact in Jian Chen’s hands venomously.
Jian Chen said nothing. He stared at Zi Yun, who had already arrived beside Xiao Man. She directly extended her hands to lift Xiao Man up, but the mysterious power around Xiao Man blocked her as well, preventing her from getting any closer.
“Hmm? That girl is a little strange…” In the surroundings, many Godkings noticed Xiao Man as strange light flickered through their eyes.
“There seems to be a mysterious power around the girl. Let me try,” a brown-robed old man said. He did not take a step forwards. Instead, he remained a hundred meters away and controlled his sword with his soul, sending it towards Xiao Man.
Swish!
The sword moved extremely quickly, crossing the hundred meters in a split second. It shone resplendently in the night as it shot towards Xiao Man. It possessed surprising power.
The old man did not care about Xiao Man’s life at all, nor did he consider the fact that Xiao Man was only at the Mortal realm. He unleashed his great strength as a Godking right from the start, holding nothing back.
