Chapter 1848: Holding Your Head Up High

The chains spun with a loud howl as they shrouded Si Han and King Daxi, carrying them into the air, turning into a streak of light to break free from the Eastern Region Holy City’s atmosphere.

Murong Yefeng gave chase, fading into a black dot and disappearing into the clouds.

Mr. Godcliff’s condition was so frail now that he was weaker than many martial-art demi-saints.

He was badly wounded from the last battle. Half of his head was crushed, and his skull was exposed. Saint Path Power penetrated his abdomen, shattering his organs. He was bleeding and wretched.

What made things worse was, he suffered trauma to his saint heart, from which his spiritual power was leaking.

“Let’s get the hell out of Eastern Region Holy City!”

Mr. Godcliff said aloud.

He took out an escape talisman and stuck it on his body. It instantly gave him the ability to fly at a-thousand-time the speed of sound as he fled Eastern Region Holy City.

When even Si Han and Mr. Godcliff was fleeing, the other saint-level cultivators who attacked the Eastern Region Holy City could not help but scramble to get away. Some of the smarter ones, knowing that fleeing was impossible, performed a highly stealthy technique to hide inside the city.

If they lay low, it was nearly impossible to detect them in Eastern Region Holy City, especially when there were so many cultivators around.

“Trying to flee? It’s not that simple!”

As Zhang Ruochen struck out his Yi Huang Bone Scepter, it turned into a thousand-foot-tall black skeleton in the air.

After devouring four Six-Tribulation Ghost Lords, it had become even stronger. Although not as powerful as a Precept Domain-level cultivator, it was considered powerful among the Nine-Step Saint Kings of the Greater Precept World.

Boom!

The black skeleton struck out a punch and hit two Saint Kings out of the sky.

It devoured the saint souls of the two saint kings and broke out of Eastern Region Holy City’s atmosphere to pursue the fleeing saint-level cultivators.

As Zhang Ruochen looked into the distance, he saw what might look like the shadow of Luo Yi.

He was a self-proclaimed cultivator of the Shangyuan Sect from the Yuan Realm. Yet he was so ruthless that he killed a cultivator from the Heavenly Realm with each strike. He was also lunging out of the atmosphere as if he would not give up until he killed everyone.

Zhang Ruochen could not help but frown in suspicion.

It was understandable why the cultivators from the Kunlun Realm hated the Heavenly Realm so much. It was because the Heavenly Realm had been attacking the Kunlun Realm ruthlessly. There were deep-rooted grudges between them.

In contrast, there should not be any bad blood between the cultivators of the Shang Yuan Sect and the Heavenly Realm.

“That guy is really questionable.”

Zhang Ruochen just reminded himself to be wary of this man.

Not far away from the Tower of Flames, Jueyan Hu had broken away from the sword net of the Rain Sword. Saint blood spurted out of his mouth, and his injury worsened, sword wounds all over his body.

He was still in human form, but handsome no more.

Jueyan Hu gritted his teeth and shot a glare at the Fairy of Chutian. “You will pay for what you have done today, Luo Yi! After recovering from my injury, I promise I will make you pay a thousand times for what you did to me!”

“Thousand-Illusion Escape Technique!”

Jueyan Hu performed an intermediate saint escape technique. His body split into a thousand clones of himself in the air.

Each clone was flying in different directions.

It was hard for ordinary cultivators to spot which was which, and Jueyan Hu would have gotten away.

But his opponent was the Fairy of Chutian.

She activated her vertical eye on her forehead and found Jueyan Hu’s body. With the flick of her hand, Rain Sword shot out and struck Jueyan Hu like the tail of a dragon.

Jueyan Hu groaned in pain when he lost his left leg.

Yet, he did not stop but kept going. His face was hideous, while his roar was filled with anger, pain, frustration, and many other emotions.

If he got away today, he would surely take revenge against her next time.

Jueyan Hu was already in midair, nearly leaving Eastern Region Holy City’s atmosphere. He was elated. “No one can stop me as soon as I leave the atmosphere.”

Right then, the atmosphere above him suddenly burst into flames, turning into a sea of crimson fire.

A gigantic foot appeared and crushed down as if heaven was collapsing.

Jueyan Hu appeared as small as an ant under the gigantic flaming foot.

“No, no…”

Jueyan Hu roared, and his was voice filled with indignity.

Boom!

The flaming foot came down on Jueyan Hu and crushed him to the ground and sent a shock wave through the earth.

The flames rose like waves that were several dozen feet high, carrying with it dust and debris as it spread in all directions.

When the flames finally subsided, a ten-thousand-foot footprint appeared on the ground. The earth surrounding the impact crater had risen as high as a thousand feet from the impact.

The impact center had turned into a pool of golden lava.

Zhang Ruochen dragged Jueyan Hu out of the crater. He stood on the crest and looked around. “I, Zhang Ruochen
