Chapter 2084 - 2074: Worthless Scrap Metal (Second Update)

"Seventh Senior Sister!"

Seeing Chen Zijie blasted away and about to be cut down by Deng Ken with a single sword, Muu Xinrui and the others all cried out in shock.

The group of Black Iron Knights they were facing, they could only barely hold off.

Many Black Iron Knights charged into Liuusha and Wanggeshan’s people, cutting them down like chopping vegetables.

In the blink of an eye nearly half of them were slaughtered!

Only Tianzhu and Feng Lei, the leaders on both sides, weren’t weak; they could still hold on for a while!

But watching Chen Zijie get blasted away, then seeing that Muu Xinrui and the others simply couldn’t withstand the attacks, many people started thinking of escape.

"Run!"

No one knew who shouted first, then turned and bolted away.

Immediately after.

Some of Liuusha and Wanggeshan’s Assassins suddenly scattered.

"Xiao Rui, you three, run now!"

Chen Zijie was still flying through the air, hadn’t even landed yet, and was already shouting loudly to the three around Muu Xinrui.

But at the same time.

The Black Iron Knights simply didn’t give Liuusha and Wanggeshan’s Assassins any chance to escape. Their speed was even faster; dim black light flared under their feet, their speed suddenly surged, their figures like flowing shadows.

Puchi, puchi~

Under the crisp sound came heads thudding to the ground one after another, many Assassins collapsing in response.

The Black Iron Knights fighting against Muu Xinrui’s trio also launched a fierce onslaught, giving Muu Xinrui’s three no chance to escape at all!

Bang~

At the same time, Chen Zijie hit the ground hard.

The solid floor was directly smashed into a small pit by her, and the brutal impact made her spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

But Chen Zijie didn’t care about her injuries; she flipped her hand and pulled out an ancient-looking Spirit Talisman, clenching it in her palm.

"Go!"

She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, landing precisely on the Spirit Talisman.

The next instant.

The Spirit Talisman’s light burst, turning into a thick Light Shield that wrapped around Chen Zijie’s body.

And at the same time.

Deng Ken’s Cross Sword chopped down onto her.

Bang~

The terrifying power exploded on the Light Shield over Chen Zijie’s body, letting out a deafening boom, like an artillery shell detonating.

Chen Zijie’s whole body was sent flying again.

But this time she rolled once along the ground, yet wasn’t hurt in the slightest.

She flipped herself up without a word of entanglement and leaped toward Muu Xinrui’s side.

Bam bam~

In the next moment, Chen Zijie used her palm as a sword and chopped down at the Black Iron Knights surrounding and attacking Muu Xinrui and the others.

Compared to these people, Chen Zijie was still a great deal stronger.

With one palm strike, those Black Iron Knights were all sent flying, staggering back a good distance.

"Go!"

Chen Zijie shoved Muu Xinrui and the others hard, shouting loudly.

Puchi~

Just as the words fell, she spat out another mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale.

"Seventh Senior Sister!"

Muu Xinrui and the other two girls’ faces changed drastically, anxious beyond measure.

"Go! I’ll find a way to get out; if you stay you’re just dragging me down!"

Chen Zijie turned back and glared, barking coldly, "Do you want me dead right now?"

Her words were extremely harsh.

Muu Xinrui and the other two’s pretty faces shifted slightly; they grit their teeth, turned, and fled.

Their cultivation wasn’t low to begin with, their speed extremely fast; in a blink they’d left the platform square.

"Think you can run? Fool’s dream!"

Deng Ken’s lip curled into a cold smile.

"Hmph, get past me first!"

At this moment Chen Zijie, holding her broken sword, blocked Deng Ken’s path and shouted coldly.

Right now, the Spirit Talisman’s power on her body was still there, only it was already on the verge of collapse.

Judging from the look of it, it could withstand at most one more strike!

But Chen Zijie was already mentally prepared: if she could let Muu Xinrui and the other two escape, what did it matter if she died?

"Heh heh, a spent bow! But I’ll drag those three back first!"

Deng Ken snorted with a shake of his head, then with a swish his figure vanished from where he stood, and in a blink he’d flashed down off the platform.

This move stunned many of the people present.

Chen Zijie was taken aback as well.

"Th-this... what Secret Technique is that!"

Chen Zijie opened her mouth, then sucked in a deep breath, her face showing dejection.

With Deng Ken’s speed and methods, Muu Xinrui’s trio were almost impossible to get away.

"Hmph, our Lord Deng Ken’s strength hasn’t even shown half of what it can do yet!"

Some Black Iron Knights cut down the escaping Liuusha and Wanggeshan Assassins, penning the group back in. One of them sneered, face full of contempt.

"Seventh Senior Sister!"

The next moment, Muu Xinrui and the other three’s cries came from below, and in a blink they were driven back again.

Deng Ken hadn’t even struck at them, but instead toyed with them like a cat with mice, forcing the three back step by step.

All of this seemed long, but in reality it was only two or three minutes.

Lin Tian stood off to the side, watching coldly, not making a move yet.

Because apart from Muu Xinrui, everyone else’s life and death had nothing to do with him.

He had come to investigate the whereabouts of this so-called Holy Water Pearl!

And now there was even this thing called a Treasure Map!

If it really was a treasure map, he’d just snatch it!

However.

Deng Ken’s movement technique just now had indeed surprised Lin Tian.

"Knight Practitioners cultivate a rather unique kind of power. Speed, attack, defense, it can buff them to terrifying levels! Although it’s far inferior to the Cultivation Path, it’s still impressive enough."

Watching Deng Ken come back up, Lin Tian speculated in secret, "That movement technique he used earlier wasn’t Instant Teleportation ripping open space; it’s just that the Holy Light power on his body boosted his speed to such a terrifying level it confused others’ eyes. In truth he simply sprinted from where he stood! But... it’s too fast! It’s only stronger, not weaker, than the Shadow Step I cultivate!"

"Unless I use Blast Flash, I can’t catch up to this guy!"

Right now.

Having watched Deng Ken strike, Lin Tian had a general grasp of these so-called Western Knights.

If it really came down to it, Deng Ken would be dealt with in a single slap!

But if he ran into a Knight with higher cultivation, maybe things would be different!

Lin Tian suddenly found himself somewhat interested in the Western Europe Continent!

If he got the chance, he’d have to go take a look!

Lin Tian thought to himself, also feeling that this Earth he’d been reborn into was getting more and more extraordinary.

"Where is the Treasure Map? Whoever speaks up or brings it out, I’ll spare one life."

This time Deng Ken didn’t strike immediately, but barked coldly, "And that Holy Water Pearl—who has information? Speak, and I’ll spare one life! From now on... every seven seconds, I’ll kill one person."

At these words, everyone on the scene fell silent.

Too many had already died; quite a few people were scared.

"I-I know! The Holy Water Pearl is in the South Sea..."

Someone on Liuusha’s side couldn’t take it, and hurriedly spoke.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, Deng Ken swung his sword; a fierce gleam tore through the air and cut the man down where he stood.

"I want accurate information. Otherwise you’re wasting my time!"

Deng Ken sheathed his sword and stood beside it again, barking coldly once more.

Then he pointed at Muu Xinrui, and looked at Chen Zijie, saying, "With your status, you should know. Seven seconds! If you don’t talk, she dies."

Hum~

The Cross Sword in Deng Ken’s hand blazed with pure white light, making the sword hum; Sword Qi was sharp and chilling, brimming with killing intent.

"You..."

Chen Zijie’s face changed drastically, filled with anxiety.

"Wait!"

Lin Tian frowned, stepped forward, glanced at Deng Ken, and said, "You can kill the others, it doesn’t matter! This place is already beyond the Mortal World! But this little girl, you can’t touch."

At the end, Lin Tian pointed at Muu Xinrui.

Lin Tian speaking up out of nowhere stunned quite a few of those present.

Chen Zijie also looked over in surprise.

Because during the fight earlier, Deng Ken and the others had simply ignored Lin Tian—he was too inconspicuous, just an ordinary person.

"Hm? Looking for death?"

Deng Ken’s eyes went cold as he looked at Lin Tian. "At a time like this, you still dare talk. Impressive."

"Lin Tian big brother, this has nothing to do with you, hurry and go!"

Muu Xinrui, seeing Lin Tian stand up for her once more, had her eyes instantly redden as she shouted, "Go, they won’t trouble you! You can’t save me..."

"Why should I leave? We’re acquainted, and since we’ve met, I’ll keep you safe."

Lin Tian chuckled and shook his head, pointing at Deng Ken beside him, saying, "This so-called Bronze Knight, in my eyes, one slap and he’s nothing but scrap metal."
