Chapter 849 819: Child of Calamity

"Heh, just some Kunlun Despicable Blood, lacking in skills, but quite overbearing."

Li Jiuyue's gaze fell on Sun Zhe's face, his eyes full of playful amusement. He suddenly leaned in close to Yao Yuelong's neck, greedily inhaling her intoxicating fragrance, pretending to be utterly enchanted.

"Mmm... I must admit, the young girls from the Kunlun Ancestral Land are indeed fragrant. Even if I must die, let it be on the belly of a young girl, drained dry."

Seeing Yao Yuelong being humiliated like this, Sun Zhe kept a straight face, but the killing intent in his eyes intensified. He immediately began to gather Taixu Sword Qi with his Divine Sense.

At this moment, Li Jiuyue suddenly reached out and grabbed the collar of Yao Yuelong's snow-white shoulder, shouting coldly: "Boy, I don't have time to waste with you. Will you hand over the Immortal Scripture or not?!"

"If you don't hand it over, I'll strip your woman in public!"

Sun Zhe's eyes suddenly became sharp. Without thinking, he said, "No."

"Damn..."

Li Jiuyue was taken aback, not expecting Sun Zhe to respond so straightforwardly. He suddenly sneered and began to exert force on the hand holding Yao Yuelong's collar, pulling it down.

"Well then, don't blame me. Let everyone have a good look at your... argh!"

Unexpectedly, just as the collar was about to reveal the snow-white bosom, Li Jiuyue suddenly let out a cry of pain, retracting his hand as if shocked, and pushed Yao Yuelong away.

Seeing this, Sun Zhe, who had been storing power, kicked the ground fiercely, causing it to shatter. Instantly, he propelled the Witch's Step to its limit, his figure becoming a blur as he dashed forward to catch Yao Yuelong. He glanced at Li Jiuyue's hand, which was a bloody mess but not severed, and couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

His eyes flickered, and several more Taixu Sword Qi slashed directly toward Li Jiuyue!

"You brat, you're courting death!"

Li Jiuyue roared angrily, immediately realizing that the invisible Sword Qi was hard to defend against. Without hesitation, he stomped fiercely on the ground with one foot, instantly releasing Protective Gang Qi all over his body.

The Protective Gang Qi appeared as a transparent giant egg, enveloping him entirely without leaving any gaps.

However, the strange thing was that the Sword Qi, which could barely be sensed with Divine Sense, seemed to completely ignore his Protective Gang Qi, directly piercing through and leaving several horrifying sword wounds on his body, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere!

Meanwhile...

Sun Zhe was also somewhat surprised to see that the Taixu Sword Qi could injure a Dao Void Realm cultivator like Li Jiuyue.

Originally, he just wanted to use the Taixu Sword Qi to find an opportunity to save Yao Yuelong, but he didn't expect this kind of effect.

"It must be because the strength of my Divine Sense has improved, and so has the power of the Taixu Sword Qi."

In his thoughts, Sun Zhe had already retreated a hundred meters away with Yao Yuelong, putting some distance between himself and Li Jiuyue and others.

He did not dare to be careless, knowing well that even though the Taixu Sword Qi could wound a Dao Void Realm, it could not cause a fatal injury.

Besides, there wasn't just one Dao Void Realm like Li Jiuyue present, but six others!

"Boom——!"

Just as both sides were facing off, a deafening roar suddenly came from the night sky.

Everyone hurriedly looked up, shocked to find that at some point, rolling dark clouds had gathered in the night sky, within which blood-colored lightning surged continuously, exuding an apocalyptic terror that made everyone tremble in fear.

Yet under this apocalyptic aura, only Sun Zhe remained unfazed, as if he had expected it.

Li Jiuyue suddenly widened his eyes, exclaiming in shock, "It's the Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Baotian and the other five Outer Domain powerhouses also looked serious, beginning to panic. Once certain that it was indeed the Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder, they flew away without any hesitation.

Simultaneously, those Earth Martial Artists who had previously been to the Fire Lake Islands and witnessed the Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder firsthand also became chaotic, shouting as they fled to a distance.

...

Not until they retreated over ten kilometers did Shi Baotian and the others let out a sigh of relief.

Li Jiuyue gritted his teeth, "Even if that brat succeeds in Shell Shattering and is about to break into the Soul Void Realm, it shouldn't provoke a tribulation thunder, let alone the legendary Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder!"

Shi Baotian lowered his eyelids, speaking slowly, "According to ancient legend, only a calamity being, doomed by the world, suffers the Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder upon advancing through each major realm after reaching the Spirit Gathering Realm."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuyue gasped, turning his head to look at Shi Baotian in silence.

After a while, he finally spoke, "If he truly is a calamity being, then he must not live. Letting him go today will surely become a disaster in the future."

Shi Baotian said, "However, in his current state, he can't possibly withstand the Blood-colored Tribulation Thunder and will likely be wiped out instantly."

"If we hadn't evacuated in time just now, once the tribulation thunder sealed the space over there, we might have been dragged to perish together with him."

Li Jiuyue was full of lingering fear, "Such a pity, if this brat dies, then the Immortal Scripture would also be..."

"Huh!"

Before he could finish, Shi Baotian suddenly furrowed his brows, staring intently in the direction of Sun Zhe, full of disbelief.

"Why have the tribulation clouds dispersed?"

"What exactly happened?!"

"..."

...

Amidst the rubble and ruins.

Sun Zhe held Yao Yuelong in his arms, his body seemingly defying gravity as he slowly rose surrounded by innumerable lightning particles.

Yao Yuelong raised her face in his arms, looking at the shocking cracks on his face with distress, "Did you fail in Shell Shattering?"

Sun Zhe gave a bitter smile, but his eyes were full of gentleness as he looked at her.

At this moment, he could feel his Nascent Soul disintegrating, and his Life Essence Power depleting rapidly.

If not for his Undying Body, he wouldn't have lasted this long.

He looked up at the rolling tribulation clouds in the sky, speaking, "I can't resist this tribulation thunder in my current state; it'll take me out in an instant. Are you sure you won't lend a hand?"

This wasn't directed at Yao Yuelong in his arms, but at the Thunder Spirit being lazy in the Ring Space.

After a while, the Thunder Spirit's impatient voice echoed in his mind, "Oh, for crying out loud... Fine, fine, I'll let you owe this tribulation thunder first. Adding to the previous six, you now owe seven in total!"

Sun Zhe secretly let out a sigh of relief, though his heart felt heavy, "Don't worry, I'll definitely repay you in the future."

As his words ended, an invisible force silently emanated from the White Jade Ring, and within an instant, the tribulation clouds gathering in the sky scattered completely.

Sun Zhe then gently brought Yao Yuelong back to the ground, putting her down. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Long'er, I'm probably not going to make it. I can't hold on much longer... Next, I'll use the last bit of my time to deal with these Outer Domain bastards."

Yao Yuelong's eyes reddened, unable to bear looking at those terrifying cracks on his body, "What do you plan to do?"

Sun Zhe's gaze was gentle, as he took off the White Jade Ring and handed it to her, "Keep this with you for now. If I don't come back... take this ring to my mom."

Yao Yuelong didn't reach out to take it, her eyes resolute, "You should keep it yourself. No matter what you intend to do, I'm going with you."

At this moment, Grandmaster Tianyun and the others staggered over.

"Little Fellow Sun, we're going together!"

"I, Madman Zhang, have no great abilities, but even if I can take two blows for you, it's worth it!"

Suddenly a wind arose.

An old figure broke through the sky, landing heavily in front of Sun Zhe.

Sun Zhe looked up, finding that it was Chu Chenglong who had arrived.

Madman Zhang sneered, "What, has Steward Chu suddenly grown a backbone and decided to fight with us?"

Chu Chenglong completely ignored him, his eyes fixed on Sun Zhe, "Sun Zhe, I don't care what you're planning to do, but the Immortal Scripture must not fall into the hands of Outer Domain thieves! Give me the Immortal Scripture, and I'll take it and escape from here!"

"..."
