"Escape!"
The Ten Directions Saint Emperor roared, then mustered all his strength to unleash a vast radiance. But instead of striking Situ Ding, it surged toward Shangguan Shenyu and the others.
"Courting death!"
Situ Ding shouted angrily.
He could discern the Saint Emperor's intentions—it was merely a diversion, meant to delay him and ensure an escape.
"Thunder Barrier!"
With a leap, Situ Ding positioned himself in front of Shangguan Shenyu and the others, raising a screen of flickering thunderlight with both hands, blocking the Saint Emperor's onslaught.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for saving us!"
Xin You and the rest expressed their gratitude, their faces still pale with lingering fear.
Except for Shangguan Shenyu, the other Ancient Emperor's disciples were powerful in their own right and despised becoming False Heavenly Dao, so they had not acquired an Undying Body.
"Damn it!"
