Chapter 88

Seeing the appearance of the powerful members of the Helian clan, the faces of the divine guards protecting Ye Tianming and Nantian Qi immediately turned grave. The leader of the Helian clan, Helian Yun, was a Circle-Breaker, while on their side, apart from Zhou Yuan, none were Circle-Breakers.

Helian Yun's gaze fell directly on Ye Tianming, his eyes filled with hostility, "As a citizen of the Guanxuan Universe, you actually colluded with another civilization to harm the Guanxuan Universe. You..."

"Cut the crap!"

At this moment, Ye Tianming suddenly interrupted Helian Yun, staring at him intently, "You know the truth about the Guanxuan Universe. If you want to kill me, just do it. Why all the fuss?"

Helian Yun sneered, "Ant, I'll kill you now."

With that, he punched directly at Ye Tianming.

Targeted by a top Circle-Breaker, Ye Tianming instantly felt as if he couldn't breathe, death never feeling so close.

Against such a powerful opponent, he had no room for resistance!

He didn't even know how much higher these people were compared to him...

Even so, he didn't think of giving up. Just as he was about to draw his sword, a loud laugh suddenly echoed through the scene, "A Circle-Breaker attacking a mere child, do you have any shame?"

As the voice fell, a terrifying aura suddenly swept through the scene, like a thousand charging troops, slamming into Helian Yun.

Boom!

This impact forced Helian Yun to retreat nearly a thousand zhang. As soon as he stopped, the star river behind him instantly collapsed, turning into a black abyss, extremely terrifying.

After stopping, Helian Yun looked up at the distance. Not far from Ye Tianming and the others stood a middle-aged man, tall and robust, exuding a fierce aura. His presence was like boiling water, causing the star river to tremble, terrifyingly powerful.

Circle-Breaker!

Helian Yun stared at the middle-aged man, his expression grave, "Who are you!"

The middle-aged man ignored Helian Yun and turned to Nantian Qi, "Your Highness, you go first."

Nantian Qi looked at the middle-aged man, "Commander Mu, be careful."

Mu, one of the three commanders of the Divine Guards.

After Nantian Qi spoke, she directly grabbed Ye Tianming's arm and broke through the void, performing a spatial leap. The other Divine Guards followed closely.

Seeing Nantian Qi and the others escape, Helian Yun immediately shouted, "Stop them!"

As he spoke, he was about to act to intercept Nantian Qi and the others, but at that moment, a terrifying divine aura locked onto him.

Helian Yun turned to look at Commander Mu, who laughed, "Let me see what level a Circle-Breaker from the Guanxuan Universe is."

With that, he charged forward, punching fiercely at Helian Yun.

The star river instantly turned desolate!

Feeling the terrifying power of the punch, Helian Yun's expression became extremely grave. He knew he was facing a veteran Circle-Breaker and dared not be careless. He immediately summoned the ancestral artifact of the Helian clan, the 'Holy Weapon,' and activated it to charge fiercely at Commander Mu.

Meanwhile, the other Helian clan members immediately charged at Nantian Qi and Ye Tianming. These were all top-tier Helian clan members, and they quickly caught up to Nantian Qi and Ye Tianming. The Divine Guards surrounding Nantian Qi and Ye Tianming immediately turned to face the Helian clan members.

The remaining Divine Guards continued to protect Ye Tianming and Nantian Qi, rushing towards the edge of the universe. They had to leave the Guanxuan Universe; only by leaving could they have a chance to survive.

Nantian Qi looked at the edge of the star river, her expression grave. She naturally understood their current situation, but she was thinking about the ancient civilization. If the ancient civilization did not stand by her side, even if they escaped the Guanxuan Universe, they would have no chance of survival.

Would the ancient civilization stand by her side?

Nantian Qi slowly closed her eyes, this time she was betting everything.

"Your Highness Qi!"

At this moment, a Divine Guard suddenly said in a solemn voice, "A group of mysterious powerful beings is heading towards us, they will catch up in no more than a quarter of an hour..."

Nantian Qi looked at the Divine Guards beside her. All the Divine Guards had grave expressions, but there was no fear in their eyes, only a willingness to die for their cause.

Seeing these Divine Guards who were risking their lives to protect her and Ye Tianming, Nantian Qi felt guilty, knowing that all the Divine Guards might die in the Guanxuan Universe.

Nantian Qi suddenly pulled Ye Tianming to her side and looked at all the Divine Guards, "After Yang Jia takes personal control of the Guanxuan Universe, he will launch a war on the entire universe. Ultimately, our ancient civilization will not be spared. This young man, Ye Tianming, might be the only one who can stop Yang Jia in the future!"

She was not saving Ye Tianming out of personal feelings. As the princess of the ancient civilization, she would not drag the ancient civilization into war for personal reasons. She saw clearly that after Yang Jia took personal control, he would aim to unify the entire universe, meaning that the ancient civilization and the Guanxuan Universe would eventually have to fight.

In Ye Tianming, she saw a possibility that he might be able to stand up to Yang Jia in the future.

Facing such a super second-generation, someone had to stand up to balance him. Yang Jia was not the Guanxuan Sword Master, who had been raised in the wild. Such a person could not empathize with the lower classes, and with the boundless greed of the major families and sects in the Guanxuan Universe, if the Yang family unified the entire universe, it would be a disaster for the entire universe!

She told these Divine Guards this to let them know what they were fighting for, that they were fighting for the future of the ancient civilization.

A Divine Guard respectfully said, "Your Highness, you don't need to tell us these things. Soldiers follow orders, we will do as you say."

Just as Nantian Qi was about to speak, the star river to the right suddenly boiled, and a terrifying aura rolled over, the star river boiling like water, extremely terrifying.

Circle-Breaker!

The aura rushed towards Nantian Qi and the others like thunder.

But at that moment, a giant hand suddenly broke through the void, appearing in the star river, and crushed the aura.

Boom!

The star river shattered, countless stars turned desolate.

"Your Highness Qi, be careful, the person ahead is extremely powerful."

An ancient voice echoed from the depths of the universe.

Ling Chuan, one of the three commanders of the Divine Guards, had blocked the Circle-Breaker from the Guanxuan Universe.

As the voice fell, the star river in the distance suddenly split, and a group of powerful beings rushed out, only 130 in number, but each was a Half-Step Circle-Breaker, their auras extremely terrifying.

The An family of Qingzhou!

This ancient family had a lineage of not just a thousand years, but millions of years.

The leader of the An family, an old man, stared at Nantian Qi and the others, "Your Highness Qi, do you think you can leave the Guanxuan Universe safely?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped Nantian Qi and the others.

Circle-Breaker!

Seeing this, Nantian Qi's face turned grave. She did not expect the An family to have two Circle-Breakers.

The old man of the An family did not attack Nantian Qi and Ye Tianming but turned to the right, "Come out."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve.

Boom!

The star region thousands of zhang away suddenly collapsed, and a ghostly shadow slowly floated out.

Behind this shadow, there were over a hundred more shadows, like phantoms, indistinct and without any aura, unpredictable.

Seeing these mysterious powerful beings, Nantian Qi's face instantly showed a smile, and her heart, which had been hanging, finally settled.

The Ancient Shadow Guards!

The most mysterious military force of the ancient civilization, created by the founder of the ancient civilization and passed down to this day, only obeying the leader of the ancient civilization. Their appearance here meant that the ancient civilization had chosen to stand by her side.

Now there was a real chance of surviving and leaving the Guanxuan Universe.

Of course, she did not dare to be careless. No civilization dared to underestimate the Guanxuan Universe, including the legendary True World.

The old man of the An family stared at the group of Ancient Shadow Guards, his expression unchanged, "Do you think you can shake our Guanxuan Universe? Dream on."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve again, and a terrifying ten-thousand-foot lightning pillar shot out from his sleeve, speeding up and reaching the Ancient Shadow Guards in the blink of an eye, the terrifying lightning aura seeming to crush them, extremely terrifying.

The leader of the Ancient Shadow Guards suddenly took a step forward, pointing his fingers, and instantly, tens of thousands of shadows burst out, instantly shattering the lightning. At the same time, a cold light shot towards the old man of the An family, and almost simultaneously, the old man of the An family disappeared from his spot, transforming into a bolt of lightning and charging at him.

Boom!

The star river where the two met exploded like fireworks, instantly turning into nothingness.

The two separated after a brief clash.

The old man of the An family stared at the leader of the Ancient Shadow Guards, his eyes showing more gravity. The ancient civilization was indeed a civilization of the ancient era, with some real strength.

The leader of the Ancient Shadow Guards suddenly said, "Escort Your Highness Qi and Mr. Ye."

As he spoke, the Ancient Shadow Guards behind him became ethereal, and when they reappeared, they had surrounded Nantian Qi and Ye Tianming. The next moment, a group of Ancient Shadow Guards directly carried Nantian Qi and Ye Tianming and rushed towards the distance!

"Want to run?"

In the distance, the voice of an An family member boomed like a thunderclap, "Did you ask the An family?"

As the voice fell, a group of An family members directly charged at Nantian Qi and Ye Tianming and the others...
