Chapter 655: The Most Powerful Reinforcement

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone fell silent as they watched the white figure being knocked flying into the distance.

The savior from the Heavenly Court had finally arrived, only to be knocked flying by a single palm. This was akin to a direct slap to everyone’s face.

An Lin’s heart felt like it was being trampled by ten thousand alpacas.

Did the Heavenly Court send f*cking comedians as reinforcements?!

Their eagerly-awaited reinforcements comprised of this clown?!

“Die!” Laden didn’t waste any more time as the light of crimson stars flashed on his hands. He aimed one palm at the Chaotic Alloy Brick while grabbing at An Lin with his other hand.

“Leave him alone!” another thunderous voice erupted in the distance.

The owner of the voice was a man clad in a black robe while emanating a vast aura from his body.

He held two diamond bracelets and hurled them at Laden. The diamond bracelets expanded as they flew through the air with countless golden symbols flashing on their surface before encapsulating Laden with an extremely powerful sealing force.

Laden’s body faltered for a split second under the force of the sealing power, and An Lin took the opportunity to fly back in retreat.

“I’ll kill you!” Laden flared up in rage as he gripped the air toward the black-robed man.

A massive crimson saber projection instantly pulverized the sealing power unleashed by the diamond bracelets before sweeping toward the black-robed man with a devastating force, leaving countless spatial cracks in its wake.

The man’s expression shifted as he retracted the diamond bracelets to protect himself.

Boom!

The crimson saber projection collided with the golden sealing power to trigger a resounding boom.

In the end, the diamond bracelets were unable to withstand the force behind the crimson saber projection as they were knocked flying into the distance.

The black-robed man was severely wounded, and he flew back with blood gushing from his mouth.

“Hmph! To think that even trash from the Heavenly Court executive department would dare to attack me! I’ll make this your final resting place!” The crimson light of the blood star burst forth behind Laden again as the fearsome power of the divine dao enveloped both heaven and earth.

“Oh really? Then how about I make this YOUR final resting place?”

An ethereal voice imbued with boundless might and authority suddenly sounded in the sky above.

Laden’s expression shifted drastically, and he immediately tore open a spatial rift in an attempt to escape.

“You’re not going anywhere,” said the owner of the voice as the space in a radius of five hundred kilometers were congealed to become as solid as a steel board.

Laden’s body faltered under the sealing force, and the spatial rift before him closed itself.

A man in white and yellow daoist robe appeared in the sky above. He wore a golden crown on his head, and his eyes seemed to be imbued with the boundless might of all the lightning in the world as thunderous booms erupted throughout heaven and earth upon his arrival.

An Lin was ecstatic upon seeing this new arrival. This was the true savior from the Heavenly Court!

He had seen pictures of this man in books, which was why he knew just how powerful this man was. This was one of the five emperors of the Heavenly Court, Emperor Tian Huang of the West!

Emperor Tian Huang held the esteemed title of the godfather of weaponry and lightning and was known as the number one emperor of slaughter in the Heavenly Court!

Laden clearly knew who this man was as well, which was why he tried to flee the scene immediately.

“Emperor Tian Huang, I am only here to avenge the death of my subordinate, the Dark Poison Lord. Seeing as you’re here, I’m willing to set aside my differences with that Dragon Tribe cultivator. I’ll be taking my leave now!” Laden tried to fall back in retreat.

However, Emperor Tian Huang responded by pointing a finger directly at Laden.

Boom!

Boundless lightning exploded forth from his fingertips before striking Laden with devastating force seemingly capable of pulverizing the entire world.

His lightning was countless times more powerful than any lightning An Lin had ever seen, and its aura alone forced onlookers into trembling submission.

The lightning broke through Laden’s blood star with ease.

“Ah!” Laden didn’t even have a chance to dodge before his body was reduced to a cloud of blood mist as he let out an anguished cry.

“Gasp…” Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath upon seeing this. The monstrously powerful Blood Tribe mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage was pulverized just like that?

However, Emperor Tian Huang’s attention was focused elsewhere as he looked into the far distance. “Oh? What an interesting life-saving immortal tool. Let me see just how many times you can resurrect yourself!”

His body transformed into a bolt of lightning as his voice fell, and he instantly disappeared from view.

Everyone immediately developed an understanding of the situation upon hearing Emperor Tian Huang’s words. Laden was trying to escape through the use of a life-saving immortal tool, and Emperor Tian Huang was giving chase.

“Finally, we’ve finally been saved….”

“Hahaha… we will live on for another day!”

All the students and soldiers on the city wall collapsed to the ground, and some of them let loose raucous cheers, while others silently basked in the joy of being alive. No one noticed that a certain green mosquito was silently flying away into the distance.

Injecting energy at a high rate of output into the defensive spell formation for such a long period of time was extremely taxing for everyone involved. Now that the threat had been alleviated, all of them immediately collapsed from exhaustion.

A vibrant smile blossomed on Tina’s face as she too ceased her energy output and plummeted toward the ground below.

A pair of warm hands caught her tiny body, and she was welcomed by the sight of a set of beautiful features. “Hmm… thank you, Xiaolan. I’m going to take a nap now.”

“No problem. Leave everything to us.” A gentle smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face as she cradled Tina and nurtured her with her pure flame energy.

As the core of the city-protection spell formation, Tina had expended the most energy, and she had severely overexerted herself in the process.

An Lin made his way over to Xiao Ze and asked with a concerned voice, “Are you alright?”

Xiao Ze had already reverted back to his human form, and his clothes that were in tatters revealed a series of ghastly wounds on his body.

Xiao Ze forced a smile onto his face as he replied, “I’m fine! These are all just superficial wounds. My dao foundation and consciousness are all unscathed. Master, how was my performance this time?”

An Lin heaved a sigh of relief as he patted Xiao Ze’s head. “You did extremely well! Let’s go back.”

An Lin flew back toward Huang Quan City with Xiao Ze hitching a ride on his brick.

All the students and soldiers on the city wall waved their hands and cheered for the return of their heroes.

In the face of such a fearsome foe, An Lin and Xiao Ze had stood up to save everyone, thereby earning the respect of all the inhabitants within the city.

The white-robed man and black-robed man also flew toward the city.

These were the two clowns who had been blasted flying by one attack each from Laden!

Following their self-introductions, An Lin discovered that they were the department heads of the Heavenly Court executive department that was based in the Dark Marshlands!

The handsome white-robed sissy with pink rouge on his lips was Deputy Department Head Chen Yu.

Whilst the black-robed man with the two diamond bracelets and a menacing expression was Department Head Jin Hu.

So these were the two top dogs of the Heavenly Court executive department here in the Dark Marshlands!

An Lin and the others immediately saluted the two men respectfully!

However, for some reason, they were unable to summon up much respect for them. Perhaps it was because the image of them being knocked flying in quick succession was still in everyone’s mind…

However, even though their entrances made them appear like cannon fodder, it was thanks to them that An Lin was able to escape with his life. Hence, An Lin was still quite grateful toward these two department heads.
