MTLNOVEL Chapter 834: Overpowered
"Brother Wu, is Ding Huan not in the Heavenly Ruins Tao City?" Chen Chi asked immediately after reaching a collaboration with Wu Zhu.
Wu Zhu nodded, "Yes, Ding Huan has gone to the ruins of Tian Huan Palace, but I'm not very clear on what he's doing specifically."
Chen Chi continued, "Since Ding Huan isn't here, let's take out Guan Huan and that Bai Yue now."
Wu Zhu was shocked, then shook his head and said, "No, Guan Huan is not an ordinary Creation Realm expert. The two of us aren't quite strong enough..."
The reason wasn't just that the two weren't quite strong enough as Wu Zhu mentioned.
The main issue was that Chen Chi, Chang Yun, and others hadn't yet taken the Great Dao oath not to infringe on the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court.
Without securing their Great Dao oath, Wu Zhu had no intention of undermining their potential defenses.
Chen Chi clearly understood Wu Zhu's concerns; he smiled slightly, "Chang Yun and the Alliance Hierarch of the Great Wheel Commerce, Quan Qingcheng, are also here. Do you think we four can't handle a mere Guan Huan?
As for the Great Dao oath, once they're here, we'll swear immediately."
Wu Zhu said nothing.
As long as everyone hadn't arrived, he wouldn't believe it.
If there's an oath to be taken, it naturally should be with everyone present.
Otherwise, where were the other two major merchants and the Daoist Lord Zuo Qiong of the Extreme Origin Dao Court?
Chen Chi looked speechlessly at Wu Zhu. How cautious was this guy going to be?
Didn't he know that opportunities don't come back once missed?
"Brother Wu, what do you mean?" Chen Chi had to press Wu Zhu.
He had not only repeatedly questioned the people who had escaped from Qu's Dao Court but also carefully observed the images from the time.
Ding Huan and Guan Huan must join forces, neither is dispensable.
Ding Huan lacks enough strength, and Guan Huan lacks sufficient means.
As long as one of these two is taken out, the other is not to be feared.
Wu Zhu straightforwardly said, "Since it's a collaboration, let's all gather here. Once the collaboration is confirmed, we'll act together.
The Heavenly Ruins Mountain is the land of my Heavenly Ruins Dao Court. If I don't want them to leave, no one can leave."
Seeing Wu Zhu insist on everyone taking the oath before acting, Chen Chi could only send a message.
...
"Are we just going to wait here?" After Guan Huan sent a message, Bai Yue asked.
Before Guan Huan could speak, Meng Chuan intervened, "We must leave now, or we might not be able to escape..."
Meng Chuan's voice suddenly stopped.
Moreover, her face had changed.
"Meng Dao You, what's the matter?" Guan Huan asked immediately.
Meng Chuan took a deep breath, "I have a habit of setting up a few hidden monitoring arrays when I go to an unfamiliar place.
When I arrived in the Heavenly Ruins Tao City, I similarly set up some hidden monitoring arrays outside. I saw two people arriving here.
One person I don't recognize, but I had been to the Tao City of the Heaven's Origin Dao Court. I've seen the Daoist Lord of the Changxing Dao Court, Chang Yun, and he's here too."
While speaking, Meng Chuan raised her hand and drew two image diagrams in the void.
"Quan Qingcheng?" Guan Huan's face turned grim.
Chen Chi is still in the Daoist Lord Mansion, but now Quan Qingcheng and Chang Yun are here too, plus Wu Zhu...
At this moment, even if Guan Huan were foolish, he would certainly realize Wu Zhu had betrayed them.
"We need to leave now. If we wait any longer, even more experts will arrive here," Guan Huan said immediately.
When Meng Chuan saw Chang Yun, her expression turned grim, and seeing Quan Qingcheng made it even worse.
This fellow is the Alliance Hierarch of the Great Wheel Commerce, and his strength is not inferior to Chang Yun.
She regretted getting involved in these muddled waters. If she hadn't come to the Heavenly Ruins Mountain and had left the Heavenly Ruins Tao City at that time, she might not have been in trouble.
Now she could only follow Guan Huan and Bai Yue to leave.
At the moment, she could only say, "Wait a bit. Once Chang Yun and the others enter the Heavenly Ruins Tao City, we can leave. We must not run into them."
She understood if she left the Heavenly Ruins Tao City, there was still a chance to escape.
If they were trapped inside the Heavenly Ruins Tao City by a trapping array, the chance to escape would become even slimmer.
The three of them didn't even draw from the Divine Spirit Veins; once Chang Yun and Quan Qingcheng entered the Tao City, they immediately rushed towards the gate.
Just as the three of them stepped out of the Heavenly Ruins Tao City, Wu Zhu's figure descended from the sky, landing before them.
"Daoist Guan, Daoist Bai, Daoist Meng, where are you heading?" Wu Zhu asked anxiously.
He somewhat regretted not instructing to block the Heavenly Ruins Mountain.
Because he hadn't blocked the Heavenly Ruins Mountain, it was only when Guan Huan and the others walked out of the Heavenly Ruins Tao City that he knew.
Guan Huan sighed, "Mr. Ding encountered some trouble, and we were planning to help him."
Wu Zhu quickly said, "Mr. Ding is also my friend. Why don't we go back and discuss how to help Mr. Ding?"
Guan Huan decisively brought out a flying treasure, "No, this matter is urgent. Daoist Wu shouldn't worry, we'll be back soon."
Wu Zhu was anxious, he absolutely couldn't let Guan Huan and the three leave.
He suspected the reason for Guan Huan's departure was likely due to knowing about Chen Chi's arrival.
What made him even more anxious was that he hadn't yet taken the Great Dao oath with Chen Chi and others.
If they acted without establishing the oath, and Chen Chi and Chang Yun repudiated the oath, then he'd be in a lose-lose situation.
Just as Guan Huan was about to leave, three blade lights sliced through the space towards the trio.
These three blade lights seemed to isolate this space separately.
Guan Huan threw a punch, simultaneously shouting, "It's Chang Yun!"
He had been through life-and-death battles with Chang Yun and was naturally familiar with Chang Yun's Daoist Rhythm and magical treasures.
These three menacing blade lights were distinctly Chang Yun's Three-blade Ring.
"Daoist Wu, Chang Yun dared to make a move here. Block his path, and we mustn't let him leave today," Bai Yue said, already unsealing a long spear.
The intention of the gun rolled, and the space whimpered and trembled.
But before Bai Yue could strike Chang Yun, a Bagua Wheel descended from the sky, an endless aura of slaughter had already locked onto Bai Yue.
Meng Chuan immediately sent a voice transmission: "Daoist Guan Huan, hurry and leave, if we stay here we're doomed."
No need for Meng Chuan's reminder, Guan Huan also knew that he had to leave now.
He summoned his magical treasure, which was an iron rod.
Under normal circumstances, for Guan Huan, his magical treasure was his fists.
Today he knew that without using a magical treasure, they absolutely couldn't escape.
Because he had an overwhelming sense of crisis.
Because Chen Chi was hiding on the side, ready to ambush at any moment.
Guan Huan's domain swelled crazily, Chang Yun, who was already not a match for Guan Huan, roared immediately when faced with Guan Huan's expanding domain:
"Why aren't you taking action?"
Brother Wu's heart trembled, Bai Yue's words earlier he could pretend not to hear.
But Chang Yun's words, he could not ignore.
He did not want to reveal himself at this moment, but he felt that if he didn't take action, the cooperation might fall apart here.
And now he had no escape.
No need to say anything, Guan Huan and Bai Yue both suspected him already.
In just a short time, Brother Wu decided to make the first move to eliminate Bai Yue.
He had just summoned his magical treasure when he saw Bai Yue opening his mouth to spit out a Blood Arrow, and one of his arms had been severed by Quan Qingcheng.
The long sword in Brother Wu's hand transformed into a canopy of Blade Light, sealing off all of Bai Yue's vitality.
Guan Huan was even more anxious, precisely at this moment, Chen Chi made his move.
Chen Chi had clearly chosen the perfect timing.
Guan Huan roared in anger, the Daoist Rhythm surrounding him burned wildly, and the iron rod in his hand crashed out like a mountain range.
Feeling the pressure from Guan Huan's domain lighten, Chang Yun knew Chen Chi had taken action.
But at this moment, Guan Huan was like a madman, Divine Essence flooding out through his iron rod like a broken dam.
"Crack!" Chang Yun clearly heard the sound of his own bones breaking.
At the same time, Chen Chi's domain shattered.
Chang Yun saw Guan Huan's iron rod pierce through Chen Chi's chest, while Chen Chi's white silk almost tore half of Guan Huan's chest open.
As Chang Yun retreated, his heart was struck with shock.
On the surface, it seemed only he and Chen Chi were dealing with Guan Huan.
In reality, he was very clear, three people were dealing with Guan Huan.
Besides himself and Chen Chi, there was Quan Qingcheng.
Quan Qingcheng had at most used only twenty percent of his strength against Bai Yue.
Besides, Quan Qingcheng's domain completely overlapped with their domains.
Not only that, but Quan Qingcheng also had twelve bone-piercing needles within Guan Huan's domain.
It could be said, without Quan Qingcheng's help.
Even if he and Chen Chi teamed up, they might not be a match for Guan Huan.
This made Chang Yun harbor some wariness towards Quan Qingcheng.
This Commerce Alliance Hierarch was terrifyingly powerful.
As Meng Chuan took action, she heard Guan Huan's transmission: "Quickly leave, now is the time."
Without Guan Huan's reminder, Meng Chuan also knew this was their only escape opportunity.
Guan Huan was fighting desperately just to win this sliver of time.
At this moment, Chang Yun and Chen Chi were both repelled by Guan Huan, even Brother Wu didn't give his all.
Because, without a Great Dao oath guarantee, he hadn't even exerted half his strength.
The only real threat was Quan Qingcheng, if she didn't escape now, there would be no other chance.
"Puff!"
A flash of blood exploded.
Even though Brother Wu didn't exert much effort.
Bai Yue's chest was still blasted open by Brother Wu, creating a bloody hole.
Dozens of killing beams rushed off Meng Chuan's body, all targeting Brother Wu.
The Ruyi Lock in her hand was directed at Quan Qingcheng.
Brother Wu hadn't exerted full strength, but Quan Qingcheng had given it his all.
So as soon as Meng Chuan's Ruyi Lock was unleashed, it transformed into a Death Gate.
Quan Qingcheng, who had originally locked onto Guan Huan, stopped immediately, blocked by Guan Huan's frenzied interference and Meng Chuan's Death Gate.
He knew full well that even if Meng Chuan's strength wasn't great, if he entered this Death Gate, he would be gravely injured if not dead.
He was only cooperating with some Daoists.
He did not want to be injured here.
Guan Huan was fighting desperately, he could capture Guan Huan by simply waiting a bit longer.
But in that instant, Meng Chuan had already swept up Bai Yue along with his severed arm and whisked Guan Huan away.
Even Quan Qingcheng, uninjured, could not comprehend what had happened.
In that instant, it felt as if a dream had flickered, and then it happened.
Chang Yun was the first to give chase.
(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
