Chapter 2164: Chapter 2164
"Beautiful lady, why resist so stubbornly? You know very well that you are no match for us. If you continue to fight , you'll definitely die. I'm giving you an opportunity now: submit to me as my maid, and I'll spare your life. How about it?"
The slick-faced man taunted Ye Wantong even as he fought.
"I am the Celestial Venerable of Watching the Moon in the Heavenly Realm, holding a high status there. Being my maid is your honor. Even in the Nine Realms, it's a prestigious position—many dream of it and don't qualify. I see you as talented, so I'm giving you this chance. Don't miss out, or you'll regret it!"
Ye Wantong's expression was icy as she replied with a single word, "Scram!"
Infuriated, the man, who was always narcissistic and believed that all women would be attracted to his beauty, couldn't accept it. The moment he saw Ye Wantong, he was astonished by her beauty and sought to claim her as his own. But to be treated this way was intolerable!
"Bitch, I've shown you respect, and you don't appreciate it!" the man shouted angrily. "Fine, you leave me no choice. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The man roared in anger and traced several marks in the air before launching them toward Ye Wantong, intending to trap her within.
The marks were incredibly powerful; as they surged toward Ye Wantong, the surrounding space trembled, as if it might shatter under their force.
This was the man's ultimate move, the Six Divine Seals, one he seldom deployed. But seeing Ye Wantong's formidable strength, he wanted to display his prowess before her. To put it bluntly, he was showing off.
Ye Wantong wielded a longsword given to her by Ye Sword Saint. As for the broken sword, it remained within her, seldom used, like the divine artifacts of Beigong War God and others.
There was no choice, as the broken sword was extraordinary, the sword of the Female Sword Saint, a reversing-the-heavens artifact. Su Yang repeatedly warned her against its reckless use, as it was perilous. Therefore, she typically fought with Ye Sword Saint's longsword.
She slashed several times, but the strikes were all blocked by the Six Divine Seals, unable to budge them an inch.
Ye Wantong furrowed her brow, clearly sensing the formidable power of the Six Divine Seals.
"Don't struggle futilely!" the man sneered. "No one can break my Six Divine Seals. Your meager power is nothing. Submit, and I will tame you. Eventually, you'll understand my good intentions!"
"In your dreams!" Ye Wantong shouted furiously, suddenly tossing her longsword into the air and forming several sword techniques with her hands clasped.
The longsword instantly emitted dazzling rays of light, which converged swiftly on the sword's tip.
"Break!" Ye Wantong intoned softly, and the longsword, like a divine dragon, tore through the void.
The first seal shattered as the sword pierced it, crumbling instantly, without slowing down.
The man's eyes widened—they knew the power of the Six Divine Seals. How could they shatter?
Following that, the second, third, and fourth seals all broke apart.
By now, the sword's speed had significantly reduced, and its light had mostly dimmed.
Only two of the Six Divine Seals remained.
Once more, the longsword split a seal, then returned to Ye Wantong as its light was exhausted.
Only one seal was left in the air, rushing toward Ye Wantong.
Ye Wantong had exhausted her strength with that full-force attack and could no longer resist the oncoming blow.
Just then, a small gray bear suddenly leaped from Ye Wantong's shoulder.
The little bear roared angrily as it grew to a towering height of over ten meters in an instant.
The giant bear raised its paw and smashed the remaining seal with a single slap. Then, roaring, it charged at the man, picking him up under his shocked gaze and thrashing him around, causing him to spit blood, his bones nearly shattering.
If it weren't for a few people hurriedly rushing to his aid, the man would likely have been torn apart by the bear.
The onlookers did not dare to approach the bear directly, opting to attack from a safe distance.
The bear's resilience was immense; it took several hits before roaring heavenward, expanding further, and engaging the attackers in battle.
At this moment, Ye Wantong's internal power finally recovered. She took a deep breath, grabbed the longsword from the air, and rejoined the battle alongside the giant bear.
Similar battles were occurring elsewhere at the same time.
Although Su Yang's group was powerful, they were vastly outnumbered and under siege. Their opponents recognized their strength and refused single combat, resorting to a mob assault, forcing Su Yang's team into a gradual retreat.
The chaos continued for over four hours, leaving Su Yang and his comrades severely injured. Despite the continuous supply of Spirit Liquid Essence, the frequency of injuries slowed their recovery.
Su Yang's injuries were particularly severe, as he single-handedly held off several masters. Yet, he bore a Devouring the World Illusion, which allowed him to strike at any moment, giving him some confidence.
However, even with the intervention of Devouring the World Illusion, the overall situation could not change. In this scenario, Su Yang's group had no chance of victory.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yang glanced at the heavily injured Beigong War God and others, contemplating whether to summon divine artifacts and fiercely battle their foes.
The divine artifacts were their last resort, and the others awaited Su Yang's decision. But this decision was not one Su Yang could make lightly. Using them would signal that the Human World was prematurely at war with the Eight Realms, and the Human World was still unprepared. Thus, Su Yang dared not rashly let his comrades summon the artifacts!
Yet, under these circumstances, they were nearing their end. Without summoning the artifacts, this battle would surely be their doom!
Su Yang was in extreme torment, locked in a final mental struggle when a piercing sword cry suddenly echoed from afar, as if a longsword was flying at high speed.
