Chapter 941

Sophie's towering figure blocked Zi Chen's line of sight, so he didn't notice Shangguan Yue 'er immediately.

However, just as the other party spoke, Zi Chen recognized Shangguan Yue 'er's voice. Following his line of sight, he saw Shangguan Yue' er walking out from behind Sophie. When she saw Zi Chen, her beautiful face was filled with excitement and disbelief.

"Yue 'er." Zi Chen's body trembled as he looked at her in disbelief.

"Why are you here?"

Both of them asked the same question at the same time. Then, without caring about the feelings of the others around them, they rushed towards each other and hugged each other in the air.

The two of them hugged each other in the air without any scruples. Naturally, the others around them were envious and jealous. They had already fantasized about hugging a beauty countless times in their hearts. Now, their dreams had come true, but they were in someone else's arms.

Among them, the ones with the strongest hatred were the Five Elements forces. Zi Chen, a mere Dan Origin Stage cultivator, had ignored the five of them. As a member of the Five Elements forces, a Mortal Origin Stage cultivator who had successfully passed the Ancient Road, and a clone of the Ancient Road Guardian, they had never been ignored like this before.

The five of them gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with hostility as they approached the two of them.

"Why are you here?" Zi Chen looked at Shangguan Yue 'er with great surprise.

"I'm here with Zhang Haotian. We're going to the Ancient Road Trials. We wanted to see if we could find you or hear any news about you." Shangguan Yue 'er leaned on Zi Chen's chest and exhaled.

Zi Chen stroked a strand of hair in front of Shangguan Yue 'er and said, "Silly girl, it's dangerous here. You shouldn't have come."

Shangguan Yue 'er shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid. I want to train and become stronger."

"Where's Zhang Haotian?" Zi Chen asked.

"Zi Chen."

Zhang Haotian walked out from behind Sophie. He was dressed in black, and there was a touch of excitement on his cold face. There were still traces of blood on his body that hadn't dried yet.

Zi Chen, who had originally wanted to go towards Zhang Haotian, suddenly saw the bloodstains on his body and sensed the unstable aura on Zhang Haotian's body. He frowned and asked, "You were injured just now. Who hurt you?"

Zi Chen glanced at Sophie and the other two with a questioning look in his eyes. He wondered if the three of them were going to use the same trick they had used on him to force Zhang Haotian to enter the ancient road of the strongest.

Shangguan Yue 'er quickly explained: "It's not them, these three seniors are here to protect us. It's the five of them, they said they are from the Five Elements Aristocratic Family and are here to look for you."

Shangguan Yue 'er quickly explained, only to find out that these people were actually here for him. Turning his head to look at the five of them, he found that they were actually even angrier than him.

"It's you guys," Zi Chen said coldly as he looked at the five people not far from him.

"Zi Chen, you dared to offend the Five Elements Aristocratic Family. Today is the day you die."

The leader of the golden-robed men gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Hand over the Heavenly Tomes and we can give you a quick death."

"Quick? Not bad, I like that word."

Zi Chen pulled Shangguan Yue 'er and said softly, "Yue' er, you go to the side first. I'll deal with these five first."

Shangguan Yue 'er's face was full of worry. "Can you do that? They are all in the Mortal Origin realm."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't leave anyone alive," Zi Chen said confidently.

Shangguan Yue 'er nodded gently and landed on the ground.

Zi Chen didn't lower his voice, and the surrounding trial takers heard him clearly. They were all shocked. Zi Chen was obviously a Core Origin realm trial taker, but he had threatened to kill the Ancient Road Guardians. Even Sophie and the other two's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"You want to kill us? Dream on." The golden-robed man's aura surged, and the other four were also ready to fight.

They were very clear about the fact that Zi Chen had killed a Mortal Origin realm cultivator. They weren't afraid of Zi Chen now because they were Ancient Road Guardians. As long as they were Ancient Road Guardians, their combat power was extremely strong, far surpassing that of ordinary Mortal Origin realm cultivators.

Compared to the golden-robed men, Zi Chen was much less talkative. After watching Shangguan Yue 'er land on the ground, Zi Chen displayed his extreme speed and rushed toward the five people.

The crowd was in an uproar. Zi Chen wanted to fight against five people by himself.

"Boom!" The sky suddenly shook as the Devil Ape rushed toward one of the Mortal Origin realm cultivators with a black stick.

During this time, Zi Chen had already exchanged blows with the golden-robed man in the air.

With the perfect body and perfect origin energy, Zi Chen's attack was extremely powerful. With a loud bang, the golden-robed man was directly sent flying. In the process of flying, blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

The golden-robed man was injured in one blow. While the crowd was in an uproar, the golden-robed man's face was filled with shock. He never thought that Zi Chen's combat power would be so strong.

The old man raised his head and looked at Zi Chen, his eyes flashing with a strange light. He sighed and said, "It hasn't been a hundred years since Zi Chen entered the Ancient Road, but he has already grown to such a level. This growth rate is really too fast."

"Yes, a hundred years have passed so quickly. Back then, he was just a decent Sky realm cultivator. Who would have thought that he could even kill a Spirit Body cultivator now." The tavern owner also sighed.

After that, the two of them inadvertently looked at Sophie. Among the three of them, Sophie had fought with Zi Chen before. It could be said that there was a grudge between them. If the other party held a grudge, Sophie would inevitably suffer.

"Hmph, if you can't beat me, can't you run?" Sophie coldly snorted.

While the three of them were talking, Zi Chen had already collided with the three of them in the air. It was a complete head-on collision and a complete explosion of power. Zi Chen's attack was like a cannonball exploding in front of the three of them, causing them to be injured and sent flying.

The other two were blocked by the Devil Ape. The Devil Ape's black staff was extremely strong. As it waved its staff, its demonic aura filled the sky. The two of them were unable to fight back.

The crowd of trial challengers below were all dumbfounded as they watched the battle in the air. The trial challengers were fighting against the guardians, and the battle was actually one-sided. The trial challengers, who were fighting above their ranks, actually had the upper hand.

After being forced back, the five of them gathered together. Their faces were clearly filled with shock. The combat power of Zi Chen and the Devil Ape had far exceeded their expectations. If they had continued to fight, the five of them would definitely have died.

However, the five of them were extremely unwilling to retreat just like that. The golden-robed man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and coldly looked at Zi Chen. A light flashed in his hand, and the ancient token appeared once again.

Holding the ancient token in his hand, he coldly shouted, "Rule, destroy!"

The ancient token suddenly began to glow. As the light passed, the surrounding space rippled and the power of the Rule emerged. This was the second use of the ancient token. It could be used at a critical moment to mobilize the power of the Rule to kill a powerful enemy on the ancient road.

The power of the Rule gathered in front of the ancient token and then turned into a sharp blade of Rule.

The sharp blade of Rule emitted light, but there was no aura surging. It made it impossible to detect the strength of the attack on the blade. However, just the word 'rule' was enough to explain everything.

Seeing the sharp blade of Rule, Zi Chen's pupils suddenly shrank. He signaled for the Devil Ape to quickly retreat. Then, Zi Chen flipped his hand and an ancient token appeared in his hand.

"It's useless. This is an ancient token of the highest authority. Every aristocratic family only has one." The golden-robed man smiled sinisterly and willed the sharp blade of Rule to slash at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen activated the ancient token in front of him, but found that the ancient token could only release energy light to cover one person. In other words, the ancient token could only protect one person. The sharp blade of Rule arrived in the blink of an eye. Zi Chen did not hesitate at all and immediately put the ancient token in the Devil Ape's hand.

The Devil Ape's expression immediately changed, but before it could return the ancient token, the sharp blade of Rule had already arrived in front of Zi Chen.

Swoosh.

The sharp blade of Rule pierced through Zi Chen, but the expected blood did not burst out. The sharp blade of Rule directly penetrated Zi Chen's body, but it did not leave any injuries on Zi Chen's body, nor did it destroy Zi Chen's soul.

Zi Chen stood there in a daze. His heart was still in fear, but he still had his mind. It could be said that he was unharmed, just a little scared.

Such a strange scene could be said to have stunned everyone.

"How could this be?" The tavern owner and Sophie's faces were also full of shock.

Things happened too fast, so fast that they had no time to react. However, the other party had the ancient token, so even if they had reacted, it would have been useless. However, what they did not understand was why Zi Chen was unscathed after being hit by the rule power.

"It seems that the rumors are true. All the killing rules on the ancient road are ineffective against the royal family. This time, it was the royal family's identity that saved him." The old man sighed, his eyes flashing.

"There is such a saying?" The two obviously did not know about this rumor.

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that the ancient road has a great relationship with the four royal families. And any Rule Power that is unfavorable to the royal family will lose its effect as long as the royal family mark appears."

In the sky, the golden lightning mark between Zi Chen's eyebrows was emitting a dazzling light. Just now, at the critical moment, the mark between Zi Chen's eyebrows lit up. A strange power surged from the mark and spread throughout his body, blocking the Rule Power for him.

"How could this be?" Seeing that the ancient token did not destroy the enemy, the five were completely dumbfounded.

"Die." Zi Chen reacted quickly. His eyes flashed with killing intent as he rushed toward the five.

At the same time, the devil ape held the token in his left hand and the black rod in his right hand and rushed forward.

"Damn it, how could this be? Let's leave quickly."

The five immediately panicked when their strongest trump card did not destroy the enemy. Knowing that their combat strength was not as good as Zi Chen's, they decided to retreat immediately.

"You want to leave? Dream on." The devil ape suddenly roared, "Devil Swallows the World."

Billowing devil qi filled the sky. The clear sky a moment ago turned pitch-black in the next moment.

At the same time, the three guardians below looked at each other. The tavern owner transmitted his voice, "Do we stop them?"

"The three of us can mobilize the Rule Power here at the same time. Although we can't kill them, it shouldn't be a problem to block them for a while," the old man said.

"The Five Elements forces have been acting more and more arrogant recently. If we can block them for a while, it will be a while. And Zi Chen should be able to destroy them." Sophie also transmitted her voice.

"Okay."

The old man nodded. At the same time, he mobilized a trace of the Rule Power and transmitted his voice to Zi Chen, "Zi Chen, we can block them for a while so that they can't escape. Kill as many as you can."

Zi Chen did not respond, but his hand movement was equivalent to a response to the three.
