Chapter 357 Yang Qi has arrived to keep things in order!
Despite the overwhelming pressure from Qi Xia and Qi Tuo, two cultivators at the Heavenly God Realm, Zhu Chen showed no fear whatsoever.
Because he had already seen through the true intentions of the Celestial Race.
They coveted the Ten Fierce Treasures Techniques on his body, so they would never easily kill him.
Their true purpose is to capture them alive, or to dismember their bodies and leave their souls for slow interrogation.
"Qixia, Qi Tuo".
Zhu Chen suddenly spoke, his voice carrying clearly throughout the entire area, breaking the suffocating silence: "You two, stop pretending. You just want the Ten Ferocious Treasures I possess, don't you? I'll give you a chance. As long as you return Yun Xi to me safely, I can offer you all of the Ten Ferocious Treasures I have!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Tuo's divine aura intensified even further: "You, a mere lower realm venerable, dare to negotiate with us?"
Whether they are a good match or not, you'll know when you see it.
Zhu Chen said no more. His aura suddenly changed, his hands began to form hand seals rapidly, his blood and qi roared like thunder, and a pair of magnificent fiery wings instantly appeared on his back.
That is a manifestation of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique!
「——唷!」
At that moment, a clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and blazing flames shot into the sky, dyeing half of the sky a crimson gold color.
Immediately afterwards, a huge phantom of a true phoenix suddenly emerged from the rune array above Zhu Chen's head. Every feather on the phoenix was covered with Dao runes, and the scorching aura it emitted distorted the void.
"It's the True Phoenix Treasure Technique! One of the legendary Ten Ferocious Treasure Techniques!"
A knowledgeable elder of the Celestial Race exclaimed in disbelief.
A hint of greed flashed in Qixia's cloudy old eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
She secretly transmitted her voice to Qi Tuo beside her: "This boy is indeed possessing a great treasure, but judging from how skillfully he uses it, he has probably already cultivated this treasure technique to an extremely high level."
Qi Tuo nodded silently: "The True Phoenix Treasure Technique possesses the path of Nirvana, no wonder this kid was able to withstand my oppressive aura just now."
"--roar!"
Just as Qi Tuo was transmitting his voice, an even louder dragon roar suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire Celestial City.
Before anyone could react, another golden dragon phantom appeared behind Zhu Chen.
The golden dragon exuded a vast dragon's might, and its breath pressed down on many Venerable Realm cultivators, making them unable to breathe and forcing them to retreat hundreds of meters.
"This...this is the True Dragon Treasure Technique!"
Ancestor Qi Tuo's pupils shrank sharply, and a look of horror finally appeared on his face.
He originally thought that Zhu Chen had mastered at most one of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, but he didn't expect that there was a second one.
However, before he could finish speaking...
Zhu Chen then pointed his fingers like a sword and suddenly slashed at the void.
"—Zheng!"
A sword rang out, piercing the sky.
A cyan sword light extended from Zhu Chen's hand, tearing through the void.
The sharp sword intent shook the entire Celestial City.
The ancient runes on the city wall began to glow on their own, and the city's protective array hummed, almost being activated!
"This is... the Grass Sword Technique, one of the Ten Ancient Fiends?"
The old master of Qixia could no longer maintain his composure, and the hand holding his cane began to tremble slightly.
The simultaneous appearance of three of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques in the world—what an astonishing opportunity!
The True Phoenix Burns the Heavens, the True Dragon Coils in the Sky, and the Sword Grass Cuts Through the Void. These three forces intertwine around Zhu Chen, forming a spectacle rarely seen since ancient times.
The blazing flames and the chilling sword intent intertwined, while the dragon's might and the phoenix's cry rose and fell, making Zhu Chen appear as if he were a god descending to earth.
At that moment, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
"The Ten Ferocious Techniques... He actually possesses three of them all by himself!"
"Heavens! Possessing even one of these treasured techniques would be enough to revitalize a race. With all three gathered, our Celestial Race will surely reclaim its ancient glory!"
"What is the origin of this child? How could such a person appear in the mortal realm?"
The old ancestor of Qixia was breathing rapidly, his greed completely suppressing all reason.
She had only hoped to obtain a precious technique from Zhu Chen.
She never expected Zhu Chen to give her such a huge surprise.
If they could obtain these three precious techniques, their Celestial Race would not only regain its former glory, but it would also be a pipe dream to dominate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Qixia said "good" three times in a row, forcing a kind smile on her face, but the greed in that smile could not be concealed.
She looked at Zhu Chen excitedly and said, "Zhu Chen, if you had been so reasonable earlier, why did things have to come to this? Yunxi is my beloved junior, and I have always treated her as my own daughter. Seeing your sincerity today, my Celestial Race is not unreasonable."
She secretly gave Qi Tuo a wink, and the latter understood. Although he still had doubts, he still gave the order via telepathy.
"Bring Yunxi over."
A moment later, a group of Celestial Warriors escorted a woman in purple robes as they flew over from a distance.
The woman was stunningly beautiful. Although she looked slightly haggard, her beauty was still undeniable. However, her beautiful eyes seemed to hold a deep worry and a hint of defiance.
It was Yunxi, the holy maiden of the Celestial Race.
"Zhu Chen!"
When Yunxi saw Zhu Chen standing in the center of the teleportation array, her beautiful eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She never expected that Zhu Chen would come to this Celestial City alone for her sake.
Having been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison these past few days, Yunxi had already seen through the true colors of the clan's higher-ups.
The claims of pure bloodlines and the greater good of the race are nothing but pretexts for their pursuit of profit.
These people are capable of anything for profit.
She prayed more than once in her heart that Zhu Chen would not come to save her.
But when she actually saw Zhu Chen, an indescribable warmth welled up in her heart.
"Yunxi, are you alright?"
Zhu Chen asked with concern, carefully examining Yun Xi to make sure she was unharmed before feeling slightly relieved: "Your grandfather, Yun Canghai, is safe and sound. I have made all the necessary arrangements, so please don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi's eyes welled up with even more tears.
The news that her grandfather was safe and sound finally put her mind at ease.
However, the thought of the current situation still made her brow furrow.
She knew Qixia and Qituo, those two ancestors, all too well; they would never let Zhu Chen off easily.
Ancestor Qi Tuo said impatiently, "Zhu Chen, you have already seen Yun Xi. She is unharmed. Now it is your turn to fulfill your promise and hand over the Ten Fierce Treasures. Not only will my Celestial Race forgive you for what you have done, but we will also make an exception and invite you into our race, and allow you to marry Yun Xi."
He paused, his tone turning cold, and the oppressive aura of a celestial being once again spread: "If you refuse, don't blame us for extracting your soul and forcibly searching your memories. Then, all the precious techniques you possess will be ours!"
Qi Tuo's blatant threat turned Yun Xi's face deathly pale instantly.
She looked anxiously at Zhu Chen, wanting to speak up and dissuade him, but Zhu Chen stopped her with a look.
Zhu Chen sneered and turned to Qi Tuo: "Recruit me into your clan? Allow me to marry? You treacherous scoundrels, do you even deserve it?"
As he said this, Zhu Chen slowly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers crisply.
next second.
A ripple spread across the space in front of him.
Then, a handsome young man dressed in a blue robe stepped out of the void and landed steadily in front of Zhu Chen.
This young man was exceptionally handsome, and he possessed an indescribable aura.
He simply stood there, and it was as if he had become the center of heaven and earth, making even the oppressive aura emanating from the two celestial ancestors pale in comparison.
"Brother Zhu, I've arrived."
Yang Qi turned and nodded to Zhu Chen, then his gaze swept across the entire room, landing directly on the two Celestial Ancestors, Qi Xia and Qi Tuo:
"So you're the ones who want to harm my brother?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, carrying an undeniable authority that sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
The entire Celestial City fell silent in an instant.
The Celestial Clan cultivators who had rushed from all directions stared dumbfounded at the suddenly appearing man in blue robes, completely baffled as to how he had broken through the city's protective array and entered the city silently.
The old ancestor of Qixia looked solemn. She sensed an unfathomable aura emanating from this suddenly appearing young man.
This set off alarm bells in her mind, and she vaguely felt that things were getting out of control.
Yunxi stared blankly at Zhu Chen and the mysterious man in blue robes in front of him, and suddenly understood why Zhu Chen dared to venture into the Heavenly City alone.
It turns out he brought an assistant with him!
