Chapter 437: Chapter 262: Divine Soldiers 2

THUD! With a muffled bang, Celestial King Wu’s body shot forward like a cannonball, crashing heavily against the stone wall.

Blood sprayed from his mouth; he was clearly severely injured.

At that moment, Celestial King Wu’s heart was filled with endless regret and fear.

He never imagined he would be defeated by a mere brat in the Innate Realm.

And to be defeated so completely, so pathetically!

Fang Yue didn’t pause at the sight of Celestial King Wu’s pitiful state. He knew full well the cruelty of the cultivation world; when facing an enemy, there could be no room for mercy or carelessness.

Experts of Shape-Shifting had, in fact, already begun to develop in inhuman ways.

Some Experts of Shape-Shifting even had bodies tougher than Demon Beasts of the same level. So, even though the two of them looked badly injured, they could recover quickly if given just a moment of respite.

’Finish him while he’s weak.’

Fang Yue immediately took the offensive. His body moved like lightning, and in an instant, he was before Celestial King Wu, a heavy fist smashing toward his face.

Although gravely injured, Celestial King Wu’s reaction was still swift. He managed to tilt his head aside to dodge the fatal blow, but the force of the punch still grazed his cheek, making it sting.

"Brat, how dare you be so insolent!"

Celestial King Wu roared, struggling to get up and counterattack, but Fang Yue gave him no such chance.

His figure flashed, and he reappeared behind Celestial King Wu, kicking out at his lower back.

Celestial King Wu let out a muffled groan and pitched forward onto the ground, as if struck by a giant hammer.

Fang Yue didn’t stop. He followed up, planting a foot on Celestial King Wu’s back and pinning him firmly to the ground, on the verge of killing him.

"Chen Tiangang, what are you waiting for? Save me!" Unable to break free, Celestial King Wu screamed hoarsely.

However, his shouts received no response. Chen Tiangang had been severely injured by one of Fang Yue’s palm strikes earlier.

Now, seeing Fang Yue’s overwhelming momentum, he had turned and fled without a second thought.

Despair flooded Celestial King Wu’s heart. He had originally thought that by joining forces with Chen Tiangang, they could easily eliminate this brat from the Innate Realm. But the cruel reality was laid bare before him: Fang Yue’s strength far exceeded their imagination.

He struggled to turn his head, his heart filled with endless resentment and fury as he stared at the retreating figure that had already vanished into the depths of the cave entrance.

’Chen Tiangang, you actually abandoned me to save yourself!’

"Chen Tiangang, you coward!" Celestial King Wu roared, his voice echoing in the empty cavern but failing to bring back the man who had already fled.

Fang Yue looked down coldly at the Celestial King Wu beneath his foot, not a shred of pity in his heart.

In the cultivation world, the law of the jungle was eternal. If he showed Celestial King Wu even the slightest mercy today, he himself might be the one to lose his head tomorrow.

He took a deep breath, gathering all the Primordial Qi in his body to deliver the fatal blow. But just then, something unexpected happened! A scorching Primordial Energy Arrow shot from the distance with a sharp, piercing whistle, aimed directly at Fang Yue.

The attack was incredibly fast. Clearly, the archer’s strength was extraordinary, and they intended to kill Fang Yue in a single strike.

Sensing the threat, Fang Yue’s expression flickered. He hadn’t expected someone to launch a sneak attack at such a critical moment.

However, his reaction was extremely fast. He instantly lifted the foot pinning Celestial King Wu’s back, and with a flash of movement, he dodged the fatal blow.

The Primordial Energy Arrow grazed the corner of his robes and slammed into the stone wall behind him with a loud BANG.

The arrow pierced through the stone wall, leaving a bottomless hole—a testament to the incredible power of the strike.

In that brief delay, Celestial King Wu had already fled several dozen yards.

A cold glint flashed in Fang Yue’s eyes. He hadn’t thought that someone would intervene to save Celestial King Wu at such a crucial moment.

He turned his head and saw a slender archer.

The archer wore green robes and had a cold, stern expression. His eyes held a chilling light, like a venomous snake waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

He held a longbow, and its string still hummed with the lingering power of the Primordial Energy Arrow he had just fired.

Fang Yue’s gaze narrowed. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from the archer; clearly, this person’s cultivation level was no lower than his own.

Furthermore, the fact that he could aim so accurately from such a distance and fire an arrow of such immense power was proof that his archery skills had reached the pinnacle of perfection.

’Could this person also be one of Prince Wucheng’s Eight Great Celestial Kings?’ Just as Fang Yue was raising his guard, the green-robed archer turned and left.

However, Fang Yue didn’t give chase immediately. He knew that although Celestial King Wu was badly injured, he hadn’t completely lost his combat strength.

There was also Chen Tiangang, who had fled earlier, and now this green-robed archer.

If he pursued them rashly, they would likely seize the opportunity to counterattack.

’For now, I’d better go inside and see what’s in here.’ After confirming that the others had truly fled, Fang Yue turned and entered the deep darkness.

~~~~~~

"So this is the place! This Hidden Soldier City is huge!"

Following the path depicted on the Hidden Soldier Map, the two sisters, Qing’Er and Yu’Er, arrived before a city located deep underground.

Gazing at the enormous underground city before them, both Qing’Er and Yu’Er couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

Although the Hidden Soldier Map in their hands was detailed, only by standing here could they truly feel the city’s grandeur and mystery.

"So this is the legendary Hidden Soldier City? It truly lives up to its reputation!" Qing’Er marveled.

"Yeah, Sister, let’s go in quickly! That Divine Soldier should be inside!" Yu’Er said eagerly.

Qing’Er nodded, a determined light shining in her eyes.

They had already experienced countless hardships and dangers in their search for this legendary Divine Soldier.

Now, with their goal right in front of them, how could they not be excited?

The two looked at each other and smiled, gripping each other’s hands tightly as if to draw infinite strength from one another.

Then, they walked in step toward the Hidden Soldier City, ready to begin their expedition.

The Hidden Soldier City was deathly silent, as if no one had been there for a very long time.

But Qing’Er and Yu’Er could feel a faint, murderous air of clashing steel, as if the city had once witnessed countless battles and bloodshed.

"What’s that? Has someone been here?" Suddenly, Qing’Er noticed that the doors to the central building of the city were wide open.

"Impossible! Impossible! How could someone have gotten here faster than us!"

"Quick, let’s go see! Maybe the item is still there!"

The two women immediately rushed forward.

「Meanwhile」

In the heart of the Hidden Soldier City, in a secret chamber even deeper underground, a strong and mysterious aura permeated the air.

This was the forbidden ground of the Hidden Soldier City, hiding countless precious treasures and powerful Divine Soldiers.

At this moment, in the center of the secret chamber, stood a stone platform. Displayed upon it were weapons of various designs: Longswords, short blades, a Silver Spear...

And on the wall behind the stone platform, numerous books were displayed.

The covers of these books were ancient, exuding an aura of great age. They were clearly extremely precious Ancient Texts.

Among these books, one was particularly eye-catching. It emitted a faint glow, as if some mysterious power was circulating within it.

’Huh? What’s that?’ Fang Yue’s gaze was drawn to the glowing book, and he couldn’t help but walk over.

As he drew near the glowing book, a powerful aura washed over him, as if an invisible force was trying to stop him. He then saw that the book’s cover was engraved with several ancient characters. He didn’t recognize them, but he could sense the profound mystery they contained.

Fang Yue cautiously reached out to open the book. However, he did not retreat. He circulated the Primordial Qi in his body to form a protective barrier against the invisible force, slowly extending his hand toward the glowing book.

However, just as his fingers were about to touch the book, something unexpected happened!

A dazzling light erupted from the book, instantly illuminating the entire secret chamber.

His fingers touched the book’s cover, and an icy sensation spread from the point of contact, as if he had touched a block of ice.

At the same time, a powerful force was released from the book, as if it would tear the entire chamber apart.

Immediately after, the book’s light flashed, and a massive torrent of information rushed into Fang Yue’s mind.

Caught off guard, Fang Yue was sent flying by this force, crashing heavily against the chamber wall.
