chapter 746: troublemaker

    as the sky rumbled behind them, four figures rushed towards the city center of beast god city. they were faster than birds, faster than even the arrows shot out a war bow. they were the four spirit lords of the sect. aside from the he zicheng and qu shen, these four were the strongest present.

    their combined auras made the people in the streets below scramble for cover. although the two factions constantly fought with each other, they never did so within the city, not like this. something was different today; everyone could feel it.

    he xinghan and qiu chuyi were flying ahead together. their speed was roughly the same. they were heading for the teleportation array, intent on heading to the rainbow mountain province and black sand town. he zicheng couldn’t leave the city so the two of them had to go. and, they had to beat the other two to it.

    nan lang and gu lan were chasing behind, having been caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. although they were slower by a few seconds, it was a vast distance for spirit lords.

    “old gu, we can’t catch them... what do we do?” nan lang gritted, his powerful voice overpowering the gusting wind.

    they had entered the central district. the teleportation array was right ahead. they didn’t have much time left. if he xinghan and qiu chuyi made it through, it would be difficult to catch up. it would also be difficult to tell which direction they went in.

    gu lan’s expression also wasn’t good. his flying speed also wasn’t good. his moniker was immortal sky monkey but it was actually fake. his transformation art didn’t turn him into anything special, just a normal monkey. he was not a sky monkey, a divine beast that could climb the clouds in the sky as easily as tree branches.

    as they were feeling extremely vexed by the situation, a blur shot past them. they sensed the familiar aura of blue flames but they were shocked by the sheer difference in speed.

    “i’ll block them!” chen wentian’s voice carried in the wind but he was long gone.

    chen wentian blew past nan lang and gu lan and rapidly gained on he xinghan and qiu chuyi. his normal blue dragon powers did not provide him any great benefits of flight and his speed would have been ordinary like the other four spirit lords. however, he had the soul of the insightful swallow which had cultivated the flying dragon saber art. its essence was speed.

    sharp saber energy filled his body, propelling him through the air like a sharp blade. a cocoon of blue dragon fire surrounded him, hiding this drastically different aura from the outside world. therefore, others couldn’t easily tell, only gape at the sudden change.

    “watch out!” qu chuyi shouted.

    he tugged at he xinghan’s shirt and pulled the two of them aside. they were just in time, barely avoiding the blue fireball that roared past them. he xinghan was particularly unlucky as the heat singed his eyebrows.

    “shit! what was that?” he xinghan exclaimed.

    the two of them looked ahead as the fireball reached the teleportation array and slowed.

    chen wentian appeared and waved his hand, creating a wall of blue dome of flame that completely covered the teleportation array. he then crossed his arms and turned to the approaching spirit lords with a smile, like a naughty troublemaker.

    “if you want to leave, then you have to pay a toll.”

    “bastard, die!” he xinghan roared.

    without bothering to stop and chat, his body expanded, transforming him into a monstrous man with a giant lion head. he roared again and slashed with his bulging arms and a wide lion paw that had replaced his hand.

    he rubbed his chest and coughed lightly, “i might have suffered some internal injuries, cough.”

    as he spoke, he had moved away from qiu chuyi and he xinghan, giving the two of them a clear path to gu lan.

    shiinng!

    roar!

    before gu lan could curse the slippery troublemaker surnamed chen, the two attacks had already arrived, trapping him in midair.

    “brother gu!” nan lang howled and charged.

    “insolent!” gu lan bellowed.

    using his full power, the old man in monkey form forcibly blocked the golden lion energy as well as the transparent sword energy. he was successful in his efforts but it left him disheveled and panicked.

    “chen wentian! what are you doing!” gu lan shouted.

    but he was met with another round of attacks, forcing him to dodge wildly.

    this time, nan lang had arrived in front of qui chuyi, immediately launching a flurry of swipes and punches. as for he xinghan, before he could do anything else, he was once again pummeled by a column of blue flame. it knocked him in gu lan, sending the two flying away from the teleportation array.

    chen wentian returned to his original position, crossing his arms and surveying the scene, “don’t worry, brother gu, brother nan, i will assist you!”

    all four spirit lords of the beast god sanctum were enraged at his words. simultaneously, they were all helpless against him.
