146: Who is this guy with such guts?

"Chu Yuan!" The moment Chu Yuan made his move, Yuan Yang's scalp instantly went numb;

It wasn't anything else, but ignoring the rules of the Soldier Soul Profound Realm like this would definitely draw the ire of the anomalies!

There was no need for the Lord of the Soldier Soul Profound Realm to intervene; the Seventh Realm anomaly in the city alone would be enough to make them suffer… There were not many such large cities within the Profound Realm, and each one had a Seventh Realm anomaly stationed there!

Chu Yuan said in a deep voice, "It's too late! Rest assured, there is no Seventh Realm anomaly in the city!"

It was precisely because his Divine Sense had not detected the presence of a Seventh Realm entity in the city that he had acted so brazenly…

Since there was nothing that could threaten him, what did he care about some random rules?

Of course, even if there were a Seventh Realm entity, he would still have to act; any later, and Jiang Fei would be dead and gone.

Yuan Yang calmed down, his thoughts racing, and he urged, "Grab the person and leave immediately!"

He arrested his descent and accelerated, flying toward the city.

From afar, the outline of the city gate was already visible. Carved above the gate was a strangely shaped leaf, its patterns converging to faintly resemble an eye.

Hence, this city was collectively referred to by many races as 'Withered Eye City'…

Of course, this was not the time to worry about the city's name. Yuan Yang suddenly felt a chill, and the surrounding scenery instantly dimmed, with even Withered Eye City vanishing from sight.

A massive, terrifying face suddenly materialized in the world, obscuring Yuan Yang's entire field of vision!

It was a man's face, deathly pale, with bloody tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

He seemed somewhat exasperated, yet also faintly excited.

A distorted voice resonated throughout the heavens and earth, "Violator! Die! Die! Die!"

Just as Yuan Yang was about to react, he heard a voice from behind him:

"You damn thing, you really dare to eat anything? Break!"

A shimmering seven-colored light flashed, and the massive face that had obscured his entire field of vision rapidly shrank like a pricked balloon.

The light and shadows before him shifted, and the familiar scene returned…

Looking at the illusory, constantly shifting shadow blocking his path, Yuan Yang instantly understood what had just happened.

This anomaly had actually enlarged its own body to swallow them whole?

Unfortunately, before it could showcase any follow-up, Chu Yuan's Mental Energy attack had forced it back to its original form…

The anomaly's face twisted in pain, though it only lasted for a fleeting moment.

It looked at Chu Yuan, sniffing intently.

For some reason, it felt that this member of the Human Race smelled delicious… incredibly delicious! It smelled even more fragrant than the Mental Energy of any human it had tasted before!

This scent drove it mad!

Normally, flesh and blood were not on an anomaly's menu.

But now, it felt an intense urge to take a bite out of Chu Yuan, to suck his bone marrow and taste his blood!

Or perhaps, it couldn't wait to merge with this human…

Chu Yuan felt disgusted by the anomaly's gaze. He had long known that his spiritual power held an irresistible attraction for anomalies.

And as his cultivation improved, this attraction would only grow stronger!

Still, it was disgusting… So, Chu Yuan treated it to another Mental Energy blast.

The anomaly's form exploded instantly, torn into countless fragments!

But as if drawn by something, they quickly gathered back together. Upon reforming, its body was significantly more translucent…

Chu Yuan didn't find it troublesome; on the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised.

When fighting normal Sixth Realm entities, while the Glazed Void Domain was powerful, he still had to rely on the Riding the Wind Sword Control Art to use both methods simultaneously.

Yet this anomaly… why did it feel like a few more hits would kill it?

Despite having this type of life form, its resistance to Mental Energy attacks was surprisingly low?

"You go save the others; I'll deal with this thing!"

"Be careful…" Yuan Yang led the others away.

Strangely, the anomaly did not intercept them; it was as if it hadn't even noticed them flying past, instead standing there with a conflicted expression.

Soon, it seemed to have made up its mind, and it threw its head back and shrieked again.

Ripples spread through the air, circle after circle…

…

Miao Xiuxiu had been ambushed by a Sixth Realm Nightmare Insect Clan that had entered the fray at some unknown moment, causing her mind to fracture and leading her to violate the rules.

Jiang Fei saw several anomalies waiting for a meal pouncing toward Miao Xiuxiu, his eyes widening in fury!

Just then, he saw a streak of pitch-black sword light.

It was grand and immense, seemingly carrying a storm from above the Nine Heavens, and it instantly plunged into the crowd!

In an instant, the entire street was upended!

Everything was pulverized by the storm's crushing force… Stone debris swirled in the wind, striking his face and stinging painfully…

The Nightmare Insect Clan members that had been pursuing them for so long were shredded into blood mists by the endless wind blades in an instant. Only the short, Sixth Realm Nightmare Insect Clan that had arrived later struggled to resist, emitting an angry hiss.

As for the anomalies that had intended to feast on Miao Xiuxiu, they too were sliced into thousands of pieces in the blink of an eye, only to be obliterated by a strange energy contained within the wind.

Some barely managed to reform their bodies and fled in a panic;

Others simply vanished forever…

Looking at the devastation within the storm, Jiang Fei was momentarily dazed.

Who had such guts?

How was this any different from taking a dump on the head of the Withered Eye City Lord?

But he immediately realized that in this massive, overwhelming attack, only he and Miao Xiuxiu had not been targeted. The person who had acted must be an ally!

In other words, reinforcements… had finally arrived?!

"Miao Xiuxiu!" He shouted urgently, "Hurry, let's go!"

But there was no response…

He turned around and saw Miao Xiuxiu lying on the ground, blood streaming from her seven orifices, her face twisted in pain.

She had faced the Nightmare Insect Clan's Mental Energy attack from the front and the anomaly's influence on her Soul from behind…

"Damn it! Miao Xiuxiu, don't die on me!" Jiang Fei scrambled over and checked her pulse, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, she was still breathing…

A fair, slender hand suddenly reached out from the side and placed a Medicinal Pill into Miao Xiuxiu's mouth.

"Rest assured, she will be fine."

"Who are you?" Jiang Fei was instinctively vigilant, but immediately relaxed.

Wang Ying said in a deep voice, "Ninth Legion, Bell Tower Squad, here on orders to rescue you… Weren't there three people? Where is the other one?"

"Dead…"

Yuan Yang and Li Qi, who were busy dealing with the Sixth Realm Nightmare Insect Clan, heard this and felt a pang of heartache.

Damn! My military merit…

One head was worth ten thousand military merit, and with the fivefold multiplier, that was fifty thousand… a massive fortune!

They had come as fast as they could, yet they were still a step too late?

Other than that, they felt no other emotions. Admittedly, Jiang Fei and his team had made a great contribution this time;

but the Martial Artists of the Dark Blade Camp… in the eyes of formal legion Martial Artists like them, were truly not recognized as comrades…
