Chapter 974: The second most beautiful woman in the Southern Barren State, The old man is in trouble

“This place is the southern barren state of the thirteen states. When the extraterrestrial demons descended, they appeared from under the sky outside the southern barren state.”

Gu Changge, Ah Qing, and Alpha walked casually on the battlefield, strolling in the courtyard as if there was an invisible field around them.

Even senior cultivators couldn’t see them. All the means of attack and the aftermath, when they were about to touch the three of them, were resolved by an invisible force and dispersed like ripples.

Ah Qing understood that this was Gu Changge’s method, mysterious and unpredictable, so looking at the scene of the battle ahead, she opened her mouth in a low voice and explained.

She knew that Gu Changge had no malicious intentions, and after taking her back to her hometown, he came alone with only one subordinate and did not walk with the army from the Upper Realm.

Gu Changge was a benefactor to her, completely different from other cultivators of the upper realm.

“The southern barren state of the thirteen states? That city in the distance is Southern Barren City?” Gu Changge nodded.

From Ah Qing’s mouth, he knew that there were thirteen states in the Jianxuan Great World, and the territory of each state was extremely vast. Although it was far from being compared with the Upper Realm, it was not known to be much more vast than the territory of other ancient great worlds.

Moreover, since he came to this world, he felt that this world had a very clear will.

To be exact, there was a spirit in this world, and it could even manipulate the laws of the world, so as to counter the supreme beings in the Upper Realm and prevent their coming, which was by no means comparable to the will of the ordinary world.

Gu Changge’s exercises were completely different from those of other cultivators. When he restrained all his aura, no one could detect him. Among all the sensations in this world, Gu Changge’s existence was more like nothingness, vast and unknown.

He was not worried about being contradicted by this world. What was more, he came here for the origin of this world. If it was conscious, it would be easier to deal with.

“Yes, but it seems that it won’t be long before Southern Barren City is destroyed. Those powerhouses were all sent by the Southern Ming Dynasty in the Southern Barren State.”

“The Southern Ming Dynasty is attached to the Sword Sect, and it is also a well-known superpower in the Southern Barren State. They have been resisting the extraterritorial demons for a long time.” Ah Qing said, looking at the ancient city in front of her.

Although all parts of the thirteen prefectures were sending powerhouses to come here, they were too far away from here. Even if they passed through the space altar halfway, it would take a lot of time.

And the number of demons outside the territory was really too much. They could not be wiped out at all. Even if they resisted a wave, there would be another wave of creatures coming after a while.

The red land outside Southern Barren City was all caused by the war during this period. In the past, there were many forces here, and the city stretched and flourished. But now it was a piece of ruins, all turned into ruins, and there was nothing to observe.

Not to mention the blood flowing into rivers, it was almost the same.

While the two were talking, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the towering ancient city in the distance. The tall city wall collapsed, and the light curtain also collapsed, making it difficult to continue to resist the surrounding attacks.

A golden cauldron descended from the sky, carrying wind and thunder as it was unleashed by a powerhouse, smashing the protective cover. The few young sword cultivators who made the attack before also coughed up blood, and then flew out backward, drenched in blood.

Everyone was yelling, some were terrified, some were desperate, and some were furious, wanting to fight desperately with the army of the Upper Realm.

“Attack!!”

Shouting to kill and shaking the sky, the ancient city was destroyed, and the Upper Realm’s army shouted loudly, rushing forward like wolves and tigers, taking the absolute initiative to occupy Southern Barren City.

On the other side, the army was defeated and fled like a tide, showing fear and despair. Still the army of the Upper Realm was besieging those powerful sword cultivators. For those soldiers with weaker cultivation bases, they didn’t take much care.

“Cover up the four princesses and escape! Fight with this group of extraterrestrial demons!! Don’t let the princess fall into their hands!”

Someone in the Southern Barren City roared, and several terrifying sword auras rushed out. Several figures held long swords and attacked the strong man in the sky.

For a moment there was chaos with a shining brilliance reflecting the sky. The shadows of swords swayed in all directions as countless people were fighting.

“Is that the fourth princess of the Southern Barren Dynasty here?” Ah Qing looked up at the Southern Barren City, which was gradually collapsing, with a look of surprise on her face.

Not only did she recognize the fourth princess, but the relationship between the two of them was not bad. They had discussed swords and discussed the way of swords together before, and they seemed to have similar ambitions. But at this juncture, even if she wanted to rescue the fourth princess, she was unable to do so.

The figure that unleashed the golden cauldron in the sky was really too strong. Just standing there had an invincible power, sweeping away many sword cultivators around without losing the wind.

They were now in the chaos of the army. Although everyone around them turned a blind eye to them, Ah Qing could still feel the terrible and tragic situation.

“Is that fourth princess your old friend?” Hearing her words, Gu Changge smiled lightly.

Ah Qing nodded as she looked at Gu Changge and said, “Yes, she is the fourth princess of Southern Ming Imperial City, also the first genius and second beauty of Southern ming Imperial City.”

“The first genius and the second beauty?” Gu Changge seemed a little surprised.

“She is a very nice person. After learning about the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons, she immediately followed the army to resist at the border.” Ah Qing said.

Boom!!

The fluctuations that erupted in front became more and more terrifying, the towering walls collapsing as they cracked destroying the endless brilliance. They were unable to resist the army of the Upper Realm at all.

The immeasurable sword energy soared to the sky, and each one was as big as a mountain, slashing horizontally. But before the figure holding the golden cauldron, it shattered like a bubble and turned into ashes.

Everyone was coughing up blood and retreating. Even with all their strength, it was difficult to resist the opponent’s footsteps. This was a scene of despair and trembling.

Soldiers riding ferocious beasts attacked aggressively, screaming and attacking. All the defenses along the way were destroyed, like a terrifying indestructible sword.

In the city that was about to collapse, a chariot was lifted into the air, surrounded by many figures protecting it as if it wanted to take the opportunity to break through.

Besides the chariot, an old man with a white beard held a Dao sword and stood in the air, trying to block the terrifying figure holding a golden tripod.

“Don’t think about it!” He uttered a low shout, and the Dao sword shone brightly, spurting out terrifying sword lights, shining in all directions.

“Ignorant ants, how dare you stop me?” The terrifying figure holding a golden cauldron said indifferently. He didn’t look like a human being, with vertical eyes between his brows and thunder streaks around him.

There was no doubt that his strength was extremely powerful, and he was one of the strongest powerhouses sent by the Upper Realm to the Jianxuan Great World this time.

In this direction, the two quickly began to fight, terrifying waves swept across heaven and the earth. The countless surrounding mountains trembled, cracking gray cracks, and rushing out endless evil spirits.

This level of fighting, even if it was just the aftermath, was a devastating disaster for all the creatures and cultivators below.

Facing the ruthless slaughter of the Upper Realm’s army, the cultivators in the Jianxuan Great World had almost no room to contend as they retreated steadily and were constantly defeated.

The Southern Barren City, which was still standing majestically before, completely collapsed at this moment and turned into ruins.

Ah Qing watched this scene, and clenched her little hands tightly, she couldn’t bear it and turned her head away.

In such a fierce battle, Jianxuan Great World had no way to resist. And she was very clear that the army in front of her was only a small part of the manpower sent by the Upper Realm this time. More armies were still stationed outside the sky, and there were more powerful people there.

“It seems that your old friend cannot escape.”

Gu Changge’s expression did not change, he smiled faintly, and led Ah Qing across the ruins of the ancient city ahead. His speed was not considered fast, but the ground under his feet seemed to be changing, and he appeared thousands of miles away in the next moment.

“Benefactor, can you help her?” Ah Qing also noticed the changes in the battle situation there at the moment, with some pleading eyes.

The old man with the white beard was obviously not the opponent of the man from the Upper Realm. He coughed up blood and fell into a disadvantage. His body was covered in blood and his breath was weak.

The next moment, as the golden cauldron descended from the sky, it brought a terrifying thunder. The old man’s face was full of death, and with a scream, he was directly shaken into a blood mist, his body and spirit disappeared.

This scene made the army on the tragic battlefield even more desperate, but after killing the old man, the figure did not stay longer. It unleashed the big cauldron, and chased forward again.

He could tell that there was an extremely important person in the chariot ahead, otherwise, the old man would not delay time by dying.

“Boom!”

In the sky, more knights rushed down, the bell roared and the sound waves spread like swords like the scythe of death, frantically harvesting lives. Not only were many sword cultivators in the air shattered, but even the army on the ground fell to pieces. Heaven and earth were filled with a breath of despair.

“Fourth princess, the elder has fallen and was killed by the demons from outside the territory.” Several people in the chariot felt the fluctuations in the distance, and couldn’t help showing grief.

A maidservant with a pretty face turned pale, trembling unceasingly.

In their eyes, that elder was already among the top powerhouses, he was sent by the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty to protect the princess. However, under the hands of that terrifying extraterrestrial demon, he was also killed very quickly, and he couldn’t even delay the time.

In the chariot, a calm voice sounded, “The extraterrestrial demon that descended this time is far more terrifying than the previous ones. That elder was already in the seventh realm, but he is still no match for that person. The opponent has probably half a foot into the eighth realm.”

In the Jianxuan Great World, the realm of practice was divided into nine realms, and only when the nine realms were complete could one have the possibility of stepping into the realm of Sword Immortals. The seventh level was enough to look down on the world, and it was hard to find an opponent.

The girl who spoke had black hair like clouds, bright teeth, and a smile that captivated the city. It was so beautiful that it was dreamlike, and her blue hair fluttered like an exiled immortal.

She was the number one genius in Southern Barren State, Princess Xuandie who was known as the second beauty. Even in such a desperate situation, she still maintained a calmness far beyond ordinary people, looking at the scene behind her with a sword pill hidden under her sleeve.

She would not let the other party catch her. If she was faced with death, she would immediately end her life. As a princess, she would not be humiliated until she died, and she would leave with dignity!

“Princess, what should we do, that extraterrestrial demon will catch up soon.” The rest of the people in the chariot were pale and terrified and were frightened by the scene just now.

Although the chariot had the function of traveling through the void, it was obvious that the opponent’s speed was also very fast, and it was only a matter of time before they caught up. There were not many guards around them, and they could not be opponents of each other.

The soldiers who came here with Princess Xuandie had all died during this period of time, and now there were not many people left by her side, and the elder was the last card. It was a pity that he was already dead, with both body and spirit gone.

Now facing everyone, there were only two paths, either to be captured or to be killed.

“Don’t be afraid. At worst, we will die when the time comes. As citizens of the Southern Ming Dynasty, why should we be afraid of death?” Princess Xuandie showed no despair on her face, on the contrary, she was calm, showing no fear at this juncture.

However, her words were obviously not of much use. The rest of the people trembled even more violently. They could feel the terrifying aura chasing after them, sweeping the sky and the earth, making people’s skin collapse.

“Let’s see where you’re going to run.”

The figure with the golden cauldron in his hand chased after her, and with just a single palm, he blocked the void and made it stagnant, making it impossible to move an inch.

“Protect the princess!”

“Don’t let him go any further!”

Several figures around the chariot roared, their eyes turned red, and they rushed out, wanting to fight each other desperately.

Princess Xuandie also took the initiative to come out at this moment. With calm brows she was holding a delicate long sword tightly in her hand, with a green light shining, facing all this directly.

Women didn’t give way to men. Even though she knew she was invincible and might die here, she was extremely calm.

“It turned out to be a princess, and it seems to be of some value.”

The figure holding the golden cauldron sneered, standing in the air, with a terrifying power permeating his body, which made people tremble.

Princess Xuandie looked at him calmly and said, “Why are you trying to invade our world? What is the reason?”

“Do we have to care about the reason when we trample ants to death?”

The figure sneered, without any intention of talking nonsense, he stretched out his big hand and crossed over, trying to catch Princess Xuandie. The attitude was extremely contemptuous and casual.

The rest of the people saw their eyes tearing apart and tried to stop them, but under the huge gap, they could only cough up blood and fly upside down, with scars all over their bodies, about to collapse and shatter.

Princess Xuandie’s expression changed and wanted to fight, but soon found that the surroundings were like mud, and she couldn’t fight at all. As for urging the sword pill, it was even more impossible.

“Could it be that I can’t even die today?” Princess Xuandie felt powerless over her own weakness.

But in the next moment, the big hand that was about to reach out in front of her suddenly stopped.

The figure with the golden cauldron hanging over his head also froze, his expression seemed to be somewhat uncertain, then his face changed, he cupped his hands towards a certain direction, not daring to stay, and hastily turned into a divine light and fled away.

“What happened?” Princess Xuandie’s face was also full of surprise and uncertainty, not knowing what happened.

The rest of the people also looked confused, completely unaware of why the strong man left suddenly and spared their lives.

“Which direction?”

Princess Xuandie suddenly remembered that the strong man looked in a certain direction just now, and then his expression changed before he escaped.

She looked over, with doubts and incomprehension. But soon, she couldn’t help but widen her beautiful eyes, feeling a little unbelievable as her words were full of surprise.

“Ah Qing?”
