Swish, swish!

Dark Thunder and the others retreated from battle and came directly to Jiang Chen's side, guarding both Jiang Chen and An Bing. Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Dark Thunder asked with confusion, "Young Master, what did you say?"

"You protect An Bing, I'm going to join the battle!"

Jiang Chen shouted urgently, brandishing his sword as he charged toward the last Peak Semi Venerable Venerable opponent, while also bellowing, "End the fight quickly, the Gene Organization's underground base isn't located under the central villa here, we need to start searching the entire estate immediately!"

Mu Lisi and the others were stunned upon hearing this, only then remembering the enemy who was on the verge of breaking through to the Venerable Realm. Their attacks sped up, and the hearts that had just relaxed were now in their throats again!

If they were to face a strong Venerable Realm adversary now, they might very well be annihilated!

Boom, boom, boom!

The booming sounds rose again, and under their desperate efforts, they quickly overpowered and eliminated their opponent!

"Mr. Jiang, are you saying the enemy isn't below us?" Xi'er approached Jiang Chen and asked urgently.

Jiang Chen with furrowed brows, said, "We made a habitual mistake. Last time, when we eradicated the Dark Church's base, yes, the Gene Organization's underground base was under the central villa, but who said an underground base can only be built under the central villa? They are defending this place heavily exactly to lure us here, to ensure the breakthrough in the underground base can proceed smoothly. We've all been played by them!"

"Start searching the estate immediately, we must find it before Kan Daya completes his breakthrough..." Mu Lisi's face changed as he commanded loudly.

Hum, hum, hum!

Before Mu Lisi could finish speaking, a vast and elusive fluctuation came through, causing Jiang Chen and the others' expressions to drastically change.

This feeling was clearly a level stronger than everyone's aura, meaning a Venerable Realm powerhouse had appeared!

"Dark Thunder, take them and leave now, leave Ross City immediately!" Jiang Chen shouted urgently.

"Yes!"

A flicker of reluctance flashed in Dark Thunder's eyes, but he still responded decisively. As the elusive aura emerged, he felt as though his life was no longer his own.

He was well aware that the fourteen of them staying here would only be a burden, they wouldn't be of any help. At this moment, not just Dark Thunder, but all the elite team members present were feeling frustrated and unwilling!

Once again!

Once more, in the face of a life-and-death crisis, they had to leave Jiang Chen behind and flee. Since becoming Jiang Chen's guards, they had already experienced this too many times!

Each time, it was Jiang Chen who covered their retreat, ordering them to leave. Every time there was danger, Jiang Chen's first thought was for them to get away, to ensure their safety!

At this moment, Dark Thunder and the others all felt like they were as useless as trash, helpless to do anything!

"Go!" Dark Thunder, with tears in his eyes, roared softly.

All fourteen members of the elite team simultaneously looked up at Yan Hu.

Perceiving the look in Dark Thunder and others' eyes, Yan Hu heavily nodded, his face showing a resolve to disregard life and death.

As a guardian, Yan Hu shared the same sentiment as Dark Thunder and the rest. This time, his strength was sufficient to join the battle, and he was determined to fight desperately to secure a chance for Jiang Chen's survival, even if facing an opponent from the Venerable Realm, he held that conviction!

With Yan Hu's response, Dark Thunder and the others quickly rushed out of the estate!

Mu Lisi and the others didn't blame Jiang Chen for making Dark Thunder and his team leave because they indeed couldn't help much other than dying in vain.

After scanning the surroundings, Mu Lisi's eyes revealed a trace of desolation. The Holy Court had arrived with dozens of Peak Semi Venerable Venerables, and now less than ten of them remained!

"Xi'er, Fa'erxi, Bu Langsi, you should leave as well. Take the Paladin Knights outside the manor and depart. The upcoming battle is not something you can partake in!" Mu Lisi spoke solemnly.

Xi'er and the others shuddered, staring straight at Mu Lisi.

"Leave now. Kan Daya has already locked onto us and won't let us escape. Hurry and get out of here!" Mu Lisi spoke indifferently.

"Yes!" With tears in their eyes, Xi'er and the others replied, bowed simultaneously to Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, and Elder Ming, and then turned to rush out of the manor.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, we have implicated you!" Mu Lisi also bowed to Jiang Chen and the others, his voice full of apology.

Ha'er and the few who remained bowed to Jiang Chen and his companions as well, their eyes filled with guilt!

Jiang Chen and his companions had come to help them, but they were almost wiped out due to being betrayed by their own people, and the previous battle had been won only after Jiang Chen unleashed his power.

But now, an insurmountable enemy had appeared, one so powerful that it brought them to despair.

Mu Lisi and the others all felt that they had dragged Jiang Chen and his friends down!

"Mr. Mu Lisi, don't speak like that yet, the battle is not over, and we might not lose!"

Jiang Chen spoke with a determined gaze: "I have once slain a Black Mist Serpent from the Soul Devouring Group with the strength of the Venerable Realm, alongside a bunch of friends. Our strength now is not much different from theirs back then; we have a chance to defeat Kan Daya!"

"What?"

"Really?"

The likes of Mu Lisi cried out in surprise.

"Young Master! Don't!" Yan Hu thought back to how Jiang Chen nearly died after killing the Black Mist Serpent with the strength of the Venerable Realm and immediately cried out in alarm.

Hearing Yan Hu's cry, Mu Lisi and the others looked at him with puzzled expressions.

They could overcome the enemy, yet he said not to? What did he mean?

"Hu Zi, don't worry. Back then, when I executed that move, I nearly died due to a lack of vital energy, but things are different now. Hasn't my strength also improved?"

Jiang Chen comforted Yan Hu and then turned to look solemnly at Mu Lisi and the others: "Mr. Mu Lisi, everyone, the move I have can only be used once, and after that, I will be powerless. And you clearly stand no chance against a Venerable Realm opponent, so when I execute that move, there must be no enemies present except for Kan Daya, or I won't be able to focus on using it. I hope you understand!"

"Understood, we will take care of everyone else. We will make sure they are wiped out!"

Enlightened in an instant, Mu Lisi and the others looked at Jiang Chen gratefully, nodding heavily. Jiang Chen was preparing to fight with all he had!

"Also, I must say it upfront. There were several factors that contributed to the death of that Black Mist Serpent."

Jiang Chen continued with a grave expression:

"First, it was a Shikigami and didn't possess some of the special abilities of the Venerable Realm, only the basic combat power.

My move was particularly effective against Shikigami.

Back then, it had been injured by our siege.

Therefore, to use that move to slay Kan Daya, we all must fight desperately to severely injure him. In his prime condition, it would be impossible for me to kill him!"

He took a deep breath and said with utmost seriousness:

"I only hope that we can all work together, unite our forces, and slay the Venerable!"
