After that battle, the old man became emaciated, and because he was heartbroken over his paintings, he passed away along with them.
He fought only one battle in his life, and that one battle made him famous throughout history. This describes Chen Xuanwu of the Chen family.
Chen Yu previously mentioned in the Battle of the Demigods that he wanted to paint countless Buddhas, which was based on this story.
Qing Chen looked at Zhang Mengqian, Sun Chuci, and Tuanzi: "Take your shadow and step back. This is not something you can interfere with."
Of the experts present, only Qing Chen and Zard remained; Yang Yang was nowhere to be found.
One A-rank and one B-rank against two A-ranks, plus Zard being naturally countered by this fire element awakener, this was inherently a battle with a huge disparity in strength.
what to do?
Zard cannot be allowed to deal with the fire elemental awakeners, because Zard will die.
However... Qingchen's fighting style was also countered. Black sniper rifles and autumn leaf blades, as physical attack methods, were useless against elemental fire-type awakened beings.
Qing Chen glanced at the sky, then at the shadow, and snarled, "When the fight breaks out, you guys figure out a way to take Mr. Shadow away."
Qing Chen: "Zard, you go deal with that guy from the Chen family, I'll hold off this one who's playing with fire!"
With that, the two rushed off to opposite sides of the valley.
Qingchen fired a shot with a black sniper rifle.
But the fire elemental awakener just laughed and didn't even dodge: "Guns are useless against me!"
There seemed to be a hint of mockery in his tone, like a cat teasing a mouse.
Just as they were talking, Qing Chen suddenly exhaled a breath of cloud, the white cloud rolling like auspicious waves, instantly filling the entire valley.
The fire elemental awakener suddenly sensed something was wrong: "What's that?!"
In the blink of an eye, the flames on his body seemed to have been extinguished by a fire extinguisher, and they quickly subsided, almost forcing him to reveal his true form!
But then the Awakened One shone brightly, and the flames that had been suppressed suddenly exploded again, forcefully sending Qing Chen flying.
The Awakened One sneered in the firelight: "It seems you've never encountered an A-rank fire elemental Awakened One before. You don't actually think you can kill me with something like this, do you? However, I underestimated you."
Qing Chen got up from the ground, feeling as if the intense explosion had shaken his heart and lungs, and half of his right eyebrow had been burned off.
What can we do? Even the clouds can't do anything to the other side?
Qing Chen felt that if he were an A-level, he could extinguish this Awakened One with a single breath of cloud. What a pity.
He looked to the other side and saw Zard, who had lost one hand, locked in a fierce battle with Chen Bing. The entire valley was covered with sharp, jagged rocks.
Chen Bing had already broken the second scroll, and a Vermilion Bird with a trailing fiery tail flew out from it, spewing down a mouthful of fire.
Upon seeing the flames, Zard instinctively retreated rapidly, but it was too late.
His entire right arm was glazed by the raging flames.
Zard howled and retreated, and when he reached Qing Chen's side, he was still excitedly saying, "Boss, this time he didn't burn Zi Lan Xing!"
Qing Chen fell silent.
"I'm sorry," Qingchen said, "I've dragged you down."
With that, Qingchen closed his eyes.
He had heard people say that... awakened beings could sacrifice their lives, burning themselves to fuel their awakened abilities.
Today, he's going to give it a try.
But just then, someone on the rock wall above the valley suddenly laughed, "Wow, this place looks interesting! We've finally made it. Hey, friend, need any help?"
friend?
Sun Chuci and the others looked up in astonishment and were shocked to see Yangyang leading a young man dressed in white hunting clothes, smiling as they looked down into the valley.
God generation Yunluo.
The chosen one of the Kamishiro Foundation, the true controller of the Secret Business Division of the Outer World, has suddenly appeared here for some unknown reason.
The moment Chen Bing saw Shen Daiyunluo, her expression changed instantly.
Simply because he knew about Kamishiro Unro, the number one person below demigod in the Kamishiro Foundation.
That iconic white hunting robe has now become the calling card of Shindai Unra; he is more like a figure in a painting than Chen Bing, ethereal and otherworldly.
Qingchen looked up at Shendai Yunluo and smiled; this was the reason Yangyang had disappeared.
Meanwhile, Shindai Yunluo was smiling at him: "Hey, friend, you owe me a drink after this battle, so you can't try to dodge it again."
Qing Chen laughed and said, "Why do you have to be so eager to drink with me? It's clearly a win-win situation for everyone. You need their attention too."
"Sigh, how can someone who's only 37 degrees Celsius say such cold things? If you say that, my friend will be really upset," Kamishiro Unra laughed. "I came here specifically for our friendship!"
A few days ago, when Qing Chen left City 10, he saw that Shadow was unwilling to open the Shadow Gate and go directly to Forbidden Land 002, so he guessed that there would be some risks in this trip.
So Qingchen called Shendai Yunluo and asked only one question: "Many experts will be trying to kill me soon. Do you want your eyes?"
Then Kamishiro Unra arrived.
In fact, this matter had already crossed Qing Chen's bottom line. He had once imagined being like a shadow, not making any deals with anyone from the Shindai Group.
However, he clearly felt that Kamishiro Unro was different.
Even if they eventually become enemies, they can become friends before that day comes.
Kamishiro Unra said, "Don't try to escape the drinking anymore, you can't escape. Come on, let's end this battle first."
In an instant, the shikigami behind Kamishiro Unra materialized one by one.
ATS-010, Hyakume-ki, in just a few days, this terrifying shikigami has grown to 63 pairs of eyes on its arms.
But then they saw a white-clad demon floating in the air, its size even larger than Chen Bing's Golden Guard.
ATS-011, the Okihoku, drifted downwards, hidden in the smoke, skimming the edge of the battlefield.
ATS-013, the Horse-Faced Rakshasa, wielding a massive nine-ringed sword, leaped down from the mountain and slashed down at the Golden Guard.
In ATS-018, the Bone Woman carries a bone sword, her long hair is tied into a ponytail, and she wears tattered armor. Despite being just a skeleton, she inexplicably possesses a graceful figure.
ATS-091, Under the courtyard, there is a humanoid red monster, crawling along the mountain wall like a gecko.
ATS-229, Bai Rongyi is a white dragon.
Kamishiro Yunluo leaped onto the top of the white dragon's head, grabbed its two horns, and laughed loudly: "That damn fire element is mine. After the shikigami is burned, it only needs to return to the Divine Bridge to recuperate. If you are disfigured by the flames, you probably won't be able to be the top male escort in City 22 anymore."
Yangyang asked curiously, "The Cowherd?"
Qing Chen's expression changed: "Don't talk nonsense."
Shen Daiyunluo stood atop the dragon's head, and Bai Rongyi breathed a breath of ice towards the fire element awakener. The ice and fire merged together, instantly disrupting the airflow in the valley and causing a strong wind!
...
...
Outside the valley, reconnaissance planes circled overhead.
Countless soldiers, spanning dozens of miles, were gathering in the direction of Qing Chen and his group. They wore exoskeleton armor and moved across the wilderness like space warriors.
In the forward base in the wilderness, someone went to the chessboard and whispered a few words.
Chen Yu stood up, leaned back on the green ox, and laughed, "Even Yunluo from the Divine Era has appeared. Why would the people of the Divine Era help Qing Chen? It seems they really have no trump cards left. Senior, let's go. If we don't go now, they'll break through the blockade."
Lee Byung-hee looked up at him and said, "I haven't received what I want yet."
At this moment, the advisor from the Qing family returned: "We agree to exchange the resources you mentioned. We can arrange the evacuation now, and Kashima can take over after you leave."
Only at this moment did Lee Byung-hee finally get up.
Chapter 642, The Ten Directions World!
"Hey friend," Qing Chen looked at the Divine Era Cloud Luo in the sky, "the news that you've openly come to help me can't be kept secret. I should be considered public enemy number one for the Divine Era Corporation, right? Can you still go back to the Divine Era?"
Shindai Yunluo closed her eyes on Bai Rongyi's head, her white hunting robes fluttering in the surging air: "Of course I can go back. There are still people watching my body. If they don't encounter a suitable opportunity, no one will touch me."
"What if?" Qingchen asked curiously, "I mean, I've attracted too much hatred. What if they really can't tolerate you?"
A slight smile appeared on Shen Dai Yunluo's lips: "Friend, are you concerned about me?"
"I was just asking," Qingchen said casually.
"Don't worry, if anyone tries to cause me trouble, I'll just hold a gun to my head and say I'm going to commit suicide. Naturally, someone who cares about this body will come out to stop me," said Kamishiro Yunra in a very shameless manner, speaking in a seemingly ordinary way.
However, Qingchen knew that things were not that simple.
Qing Chen suddenly asked, "Why did you come to help me? I mean, even if you needed the eyes of a superhuman, you could have come quietly to collect them. With a great battle about to begin, no one will be specifically looking after the corpses. But you came so conspicuously, why?"
This high-profile behavior is like having someone come to support you when your friends are fighting.
However, Shindai Yunluo changed the subject, asking with a half-smile, "Wait, you don't really think we're friends anymore, do you?"
Qingchen pursed his lips, but said nothing.
At this moment, the smile on Kamishiro Yunra's lips deepened. What is too easily obtained is not cherished, my friend.
However, just as Qingchen said, what he had to endure this time was far more than Qingchen had imagined.
But so what? I don't have many friends to begin with. If someone travels a long way to see a friend's corpse, should I gouge out their eyes or not?
This is a rather awkward question.
Kamishiro Yunluo laughed, "Let's deal with these two first. I'll leave after I gouge out their eyes. The Chen Group Army is really serious now. A field brigade is the vanguard, and another field division has just arrived. It seems someone is determined to kill you. I'm not going to stay here and wait to die with you."
With that, Kamishiro Yunra closed her eyes again.
On the battlefield, the three shikigami, Horse-faced Rakshasa, Bone Woman, and Okihori, wandered around the Chen family painter.
With sweeping, powerful strikes, the Golden Guards left deep, abyss-like marks on the stone walls beside the valley with their giant axes. The Horse-Faced Rakshasa seemed unable to withstand the onslaught and retreated, the nine-ringed saber and the giant axe clashing together with a clanging sound.
Just as the painter Chen was urging the Golden Guards to advance and slash, the Bone Woman suddenly appeared behind the Golden Guards, her bone sword piercing the Golden Guards' ribs with surgical precision.
Jinwuwei retaliated with a slash, but as the Bone Woman did a backflip, she lightly touched the axe handle with her toes and vanished into the distance.
The Imperial Guards wanted to give chase, but Zhixinghu released a cloud of smoke, concealing the Bone Woman's whereabouts. The Horse-Faced Rakshasa's nine-ringed blade had already slashed at his shoulder, the cut deep enough to see the bone.
The three shikigami worked together so smoothly that Qingchen found it quite pleasing to the eye.
In this world, there are very few people who are good at multitasking. In the hands of Shindai Yunluo, the Onmyoji tradition seems to have seized the creation of heaven and earth. With the shikigami moving around, he can use various traps and cover to the fullest extent.
