Chapter 1972

The energy vibrated, and a figure was sent flying. Blood splattered everywhere, forming dark red raindrops in the sky and falling to the ground.

Outside the battlefield, all the cultivators were staring at the scene in front of them. The moment the figure was sent flying, everyone's attention immediately shifted to the other party.

When they saw the figure that was sent flying, many of the alien races' faces were filled with disbelief.

On the other hand, the humans on the other side heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's Ji En."

"How could it be Lord Ji En?"

"The powerful Lord Ji En was actually defeated by Zi Chen."

Seeing that the person who was sent flying and vomiting blood was actually Ji En, a cry of disbelief came from the alien race's cultivators.

Many of the alien races couldn't accept the scene in front of them. The battle strength that Ji En had displayed was so powerful, and the Sorrow of Parting almost hit everyone. How could such a powerful existence be defeated?

The alien race couldn't accept the result in front of them. Hence, they all turned around and looked at Zi Chen. Even if the powerful Lord Ji En was defeated, that Zi Chen wouldn't have it easy either.

Thus, everyone's gazes shifted away from Ji En and landed on the battlefield again, looking at the vibrating energy.

At this moment, on the battlefield, the energy was still vibrating. However, amidst the vibrating energy, Zi Chen, who was shining with a golden light, was very eye-catching.

He stood in the air, his black robe fluttering. His expression was indifferent as he coldly looked forward.

From the beginning of the battle until now, he really didn't take a single step back.

"Although the opponent is very strong, Zi Chen is still stronger." The human old man who was watching the battle stroked his beard with his right hand, and a smile of admiration appeared on his face.

"Good boy, you're really strong."

Black Tiger's eyes also flickered with brilliance. Since he was able to obtain such an easy victory, he now had even more confidence in Zi Chen.

Looking at the dissipated energy and Zi Chen who wasn't injured at all, Yi Qian's eyes shone brightly. It seemed that her premonition was right. Zi Chen was indeed very powerful.

Although the battle between the two of them was very intense, looking at Zi Chen's indifferent expression, Yi Qian felt that Zi Chen didn't use his full strength.

"Maybe he can really fight against Ya Wei."

An inconceivable thought suddenly appeared in Yi Qian's mind. However, the moment this thought appeared, Yi Qian gave herself a fright and shook her head.

Gao Wei was a publicly acknowledged expert among the Heaven-Defying Cultivators. He was an existence that even Yi Qian did not dare to provoke, even though he had expressed his intentions of befriending her several times.

Ji En was defeated. Although he did not die, he was severely injured. In addition to his own injuries, even the Sword Spirit within the Sorrow of Separation Sword was severely injured. Zi Chen looked at the wretched Ji En in front of him and said indifferently, "How is it?"

Wiping away the blood at the corner of her mouth, Ji En covered her chest with her hand that was holding the sword. Her pale face was still filled with coldness. "I'm not dead yet. The battle isn't over."

Although he was heavily injured, the aura on his body started to circulate again. His fighting spirit started to rise, but just as he started to mobilize his energy, he coughed up blood again, and his face became even paler.

Looking at Ji En, who was prepared to fight to the death, Zi Chen smiled faintly and said, "Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon-shaped longbow appeared in Zi Chen's hand. Holding the longbow, Zi Chen weighed it in his hand. As he gently pulled the bowstring, the entire world trembled.

"That's the bow. Back then, Kunte was almost shot to death by it."

"That's right. I saw the video of the battle that day. Kunte couldn't dodge that arrow at all. If it weren't for the fragments of the shield, he might have died."

After seeing the Divine Dragon Bow in Zi Chen's hand, cries of surprise came from the distance.

Hearing these cries of surprise, Ji En's expression changed. Her eyes fell on the Divine Dragon Bow again. She narrowed her eyes slightly and a light flashed in her eyes.

"Kunte couldn't dodge this arrow when he was at his peak. It will be very difficult for the heavily injured Ji En to dodge it."

Among the foreign races, there was no lack of heaven-defying experts. After feeling the aura emitted from the Divine Dragon Bow, they all shook their heads.

If Ji En was at his peak, he might be able to block the following attack. However, it was almost impossible for him to block the Divine Dragon Bow now that he was heavily injured.

"Buzz."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zi Chen directly pulled the Divine Dragon Bow to the fullest. Amidst the surging spiritual essence in all directions, the Divine Dragon Arrow automatically returned to its original position. A loud dragon's roar resounded through the world.

As the bowstring trembled, Zi Chen released the arrow. The arrow was completely locked on to Ji En.

The latter's originally cold expression was filled with fear in the next moment. With a loud shout, he grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed it vertically into the air. He half-knelt on the ground. Waves of heaven-defying energy formed layers of defense on the surface of his body.

The arrow pierced through the void and came to Ji En's side, making contact with the Sorrow of Separation Sword.

On the longsword, the materialized energy was impacted by the arrow feathers, producing a series of explosions.

A loud dragon's roar resounded. The arrow spun as it advanced, and a powerful force spread in all directions.

Under the impact of this powerful force, Ji En, who was in the air, was involuntarily sent flying backward by the arrow.

Seeing that the arrow was blocked by the longsword, Zi Chen's face revealed a hint of surprise. Before the arrow's attack landed, he released another two arrows.

The two energy arrows flew almost at the same time towards the retreating Ji En.

Seeing this scene, Ji En's expression changed greatly. He had no choice but to mobilize his heaven-defying energy again to form layers of defense.

At this moment, facing Zi Chen's three arrows, he, who was heavily injured, had no means of defending himself.

"Boom."

The arrow exploded in the sky, and a powerful force once again sent Ji En flying.

Ji En, who was flying backward, coughed up blood. His eyes were filled with horror. After he stabilized himself in the air, he turned into a stream of light and flew away.

In front of everyone's eyes, Ji En, who had previously threatened to fight to the death, ran away after taking three arrows.

Although this was something that everyone could understand, there was still an uproar in the field. Then, one by one, the cultivators turned to look at Zi Chen with awe and fear in their eyes.

Looking at the fleeing Ji En, Zi Chen did not chase after him. Instead, he put away the Divine Dragon Bow. The Dragon God's Arrow in the distance also turned into a stream of light and disappeared beside Zi Chen.

The battle was over. Zi Chen had defeated Ji En in a head-on battle. This news would spread to all regions of the Zhan Wu Continent at the fastest speed.

Among the crowd, many of the foreign races' heaven-defying cultivators had unconcealable disappointment on their faces. Although they had come to watch the battle, some of them had come with the idea of benefiting from the battle.

But who would have thought that Zi Chen would defeat Ji En and make him run away without even taking a single step back?

Zi Chen's indifferent eyes swept across those foreign tribe members. Those foreign tribe members, whose faces were filled with reverence, felt their hearts tremble slightly when they met Zi Chen's gaze. Either they were frightened or they had ulterior motives, so they turned around and left.

The foreign races left one after another. The human heaven-defying cultivators who were watching the battle were filled with excitement.

They couldn't even defeat a heaven-defying cultivator. The gap between their combat strength and Zi Chen's was even greater. Although they were excited about Zi Chen's victory, they did not go forward to greet him. Instead, they turned and left.

Soon, the human spectators also left. However, an old man and a young man stayed behind. The young man's gaze fell on Zi Chen from time to time. His expression was somewhat complicated.

"Zi Chen."

Everyone left. Even Yi Qian retreated far away. The old man brought the young man and flew towards Zi Chen. When there was still some distance between them, the old man called out Zi Chen's name.

Zi Chen had already noticed the old man's sudden arrival. He also recognized him.

The old man was the Heaven Realm ancestor who had appeared when Zi Chen was attacked in the Sword Sect. At that time, even when he was under pressure from the Five Elements Aristocratic Families, he had said that he would protect Zi Chen.

Zi Chen had been worried about Jin Qingcheng and Dong Qing's safety. He could not go to the Sword Sect to check on them. He did not expect to see someone from the Sword Sect here. This made him very happy.

However, he did not deliberately reveal it, because the current him was simply too eye-catching. He only nodded at the other party, and did not appear to be courteous or familiar.

"You really are a young hero. Zi Chen, you've become more and more powerful," the old man did not seem to notice Zi Chen's distant attitude. Instead, he spoke very warmly.

He slowly raised his head and saw the beautiful figure with Hei Hu in the distance. Zi Chen directly asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

Zi Chen's attitude surprised the old man slightly. After being slightly stunned, he said, "Our Sword Sect has suffered quite a loss this time, but we've never compromised. I've come this time because I hope that Zi Chen can return to the Sword Sect with me to take charge of the situation and fend off the foreign races together."

Zi Chen smiled faintly when he heard that. He said, "Take charge of the situation and fend off the foreign races. That sounds nice, but I think you just want to find some fighters."

"Zi Chen, what do you mean by that?" The old man looked at Zi Chen in confusion.

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "Enough. You know very well what I mean. We did have some ties in the past, but there's no need for you to try and get close to me. I'm everyone's enemy now. I no longer live for anyone else. I only live for myself. As for the two of you, regardless of whether you're sincere or not, I want to say that you've found the wrong person."

Zi Chen flicked his sleeve as he spoke coldly. He turned around and walked towards Yi Qian.

"Zi Chen, I know you've been wronged, but we can all understand you," the old man said reluctantly. The young man beside him seemed hesitant.

"I, Zi Chen, only act out of my heart. I don't need anyone to understand me."

Zi Chen did not even look back. His voice was still cold.

Zi Chen's attitude made the old man very surprised. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Hearing that the old man beside him was no longer speaking, the hesitant young man finally mustered up his courage and said to Zi Chen, "Since you don't care about the lives of the others, then can you remove the scar on Qingcheng's face? I'm not asking for your help, I just hope that you can pass on a message. She cares about you and will only listen to you."

Zi Chen, who was walking forward, paused his footsteps and said indifferently, "Who is Qingcheng?"
