It was already an impressive feat for Liu Qingchen to be able to resist the jadeflesh demon's attacks. It was basically impossible for him to defeat the jadeflesh demon's Jade Light Ocean. Xiang Shaoyun had to make a move here. However, Liu Qingchen was an unyielding and confident man. He replied firmly, "Help others. Leave this fellow to me. I'll definitely defeat him!"
He was someone who had once fought Xiang Shaoyun to a tie. He was a ninth-stage pseudo-God only a step away from the Rebirth Realm. He hoped that this battle would be able to give him that final push to enter the next realm.
Xiang Shaoyun stopped his advance. After giving a look at Liu Qingchen, he said, "Fine. Don't die, or I won't be collecting your corpse."
He then ignored Liu Qingchen and spun away to attack other aliens.
"How will I die? I am the most talented prince of the Great Han Dynasty. I will definitely defeat this alien!" roared Liu Qingchen as his Indestructible Avatar enlarged. The gold energy rapidly healed his wounds while the domineering force of the energy clashed against the Jade Light Ocean repeatedly. The fight grew even more intense.
If Liu Qingchen could survive, it would no doubt become much easier for him to enter the Rebirth Realm. After all, there were many pseudo-Gods around, but every one of them would have an extremely hard time taking that step forward.
Xiang Shaoyun released the tentacled monster and had the monster protect those close to him while he charged an alien God. After all, these alien Gods were too destructive. They had killed a large number of humans since their appearance. If they remained unchecked, the human army would eventually suffer a defeat.
Just as a pseudo-God was about to be killed by an alien, Xiang Shaoyun arrived. His Imperial Nether Domain swept out like a mobile prison and instantly trapped the alien God. Very few aliens could escape his Imperial Nether Domain alive.
Xiang Shaoyun would not waste his time putting every alien he encountered under his control. Since he wanted to become the champion of the Heaven Battling Ranking Competition, he had to actually kill some aliens. He wouldn't be able to get any contribution points any other way.
There were only 10 alien Gods present. The powerful pseudo-Gods of the various groups were fighting against them, but not everyone could resist them. Many pseudo-Gods perished the moment the fight started, including those from the Immortal Road Chamber, the Guangling Palace, and the Celestial Alliance. That was the cruelty of the battlefield. Nobody was immune to it. To survive, one could only rely on one's strength.
"Overlord, please save Lady Yue Xi," a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside Xiang Shaoyun's ears.
Xiang Shaoyun looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that it was Dong Ziwan. She was in a fight against three aliens and was in an extremely bad position. However, she was actually calling for Xiang Shaoyun to help someone else other than herself. Xiang Shaoyun charged over, and with several stomps, the three aliens were pulverized.
"Ziwan, are you ok?" asked Xiang Shaoyun in a concerned manner.
"I'm fine. Please help Lady Yue Xi. She must remain safe," urged Dong Ziwan.
"Ok. Stay farther away and don't fight against the aliens that are too strong," agreed Xiang Shaoyun without asking anything else.
Yue Xi was one of the 49 palace ladies of the Guangling Palace. She was incomparably strong, and with the Divine Moon Zither in her hand, she was able to weaken the aliens around her with each melody she played from the zither. She could even kill some of them with her melodies, granting the human army a significant advantage. However, at this moment, an alien God had set his sights on her, making it hard for her to protect herself, let alone assist others.
It was unfortunate that the alien fighting her was her counter. The alien was from the stoneman race, which did not have sensitive hearing. As the alien transformed into a stone giant, each of his punches was akin to the sky collapsing onto itself. His attacks were overwhelming and domineering.
Yue Xi's Divine Moon Zither was completely ineffective against this opponent, and she was forced to face him with a different weapon. As a result, she was badly injured, causing her to repeatedly cough up blood. She had no way of contending against this opponent.
She was a woman so beautiful she looked perfect. In terms of looks, she was not inferior to Dong Ziwan, and her temperament was superior to Dong Ziwan's. In fact, she was comparable with the likes of Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine. At present, Yue Xi was badly injured, giving all onlookers a sense of heartache.
"I'll smash you into mincemeat!" said the stoneman with his hoarse voice as his punch descended upon her like a falling meteor.
The energy unleashed from Yue Xi's sword shattered like glass, completely incapable of putting up any resistance.
"Damn it!" cursed Yue Xi as she helplessly heaved up the Divine Moon Zither and blocked the punch.
Boom!
The Divine Moon Zither's strings went taut from the impact, and Yue Xi spat out a mouthful of blood. She hurriedly drew her fingers across the strings and unleashed a burst of soundwaves that transformed into blades and stabbed into the stoneman's chest.
Clank!
The sound blades slammed into the stoneman, but apart from causing some stone fragments to fall, it dealt practically no damage to the stoneman. Meanwhile, Yue Xi had been slammed far away. Her entire body was dyed red with blood, but she was still holding onto the Divine Moon Zither tightly. Losing even her zither in such a dangerous situation would mark the end of her life.
She stirred the energy in her to heal her injuries. She had an unsightly expression. As the strongest representative of the Guangling Palace in this competition, she couldn't even hold off a single alien God. That was pure embarrassment to the Guangling Palace.
"I can not allow myself to be defeated so easily. Even a stoneman must not be fully immune to the attacks of my zither," said Yue Xi to herself. With a resolute look on her face, she spat a mouthful of blood essence onto the zither, manifesting a goddess from it and greatly enhancing the zither's might. All 10 of her fingers strummed the zither strings, unleashing a maelstrom of sound blades more than 10 times more powerful than her previous attacks.
"All this is futile," said the stoneman as he released a hail of stones toward the sound blades.
Rumble! Rumble!
As the stones neutralized a majority of the blades, the stoneman threw out several punches, penetrating the maelstrom of blades before heading for Yue Xi's head.
"This is it for me," said Yue Xi in despair.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past and brought her away from the punch.
Boom!
