After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 427 The Sage King
The three Celestial Realm experts from the Underworld Department were stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding the meaning of the blind man's words.

However, they did not slacken their efforts at this moment and fled with all their might. They were now very close to the Yellow Springs, and this was their only chance to survive.

Although Young Master Jin Chuan's face was gloomy and extremely ugly, the look in his eyes when he turned back to look at the blind man behind him was filled with undisguised murderous intent, as if he was certain that the other party could not kill him at all.

Just then, the blind man suddenly stopped, slowly raised the blood-stained bamboo pole in his hand, and pointed it at the fleeing Jin Chuan Gongzi and his companions.

The blind man's actions appeared devoid of any martial arts aura, and he showed no signs of killing intent.

However, just as the three Celestial Realm experts arrived at the majestic gate of the Underworld, thinking they had finally escaped with their lives, they suddenly froze at the same moment.

Then, an expression of utter disbelief and horror appeared on the faces of the three of them. Almost simultaneously, they looked down at their respective chests.

But there, a bloody hole had appeared out of nowhere.

Furthermore, they could clearly sense an invisible and deadly aura sweeping across their chests like a storm, destroying their dantian and heart meridians almost instantly and devouring all the life force within them.

At this moment, Young Master Jin Chuan seemed to finally realize something and turned to look.

But he witnessed the bodies of three celestial experts shatter silently and crash to the ground, turning into a pile of broken corpses.

At the same time, the blind man pointed a bamboo cane at the young master of Jinchuan, and his hoarse voice slowly reached the young master's ears:

“I know you have ways to save your life. I wasn’t very confident before, but here and now, I have the means to kill you.”

Upon hearing the blind man's words, Young Master Jin Chuan felt a chill run through him, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The next instant, the true energy of heaven and earth around him suddenly surged like a tide, the void trembled, and a square bronze plaque shattered his clothes into dust, then floated up and hovered in mid-air.

The square bronze plaque was engraved with intricate patterns and emitted bursts of eerie yellow light. In the blink of an eye, it absorbed all the surrounding true energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into a mighty Yellow Spring River that surrounded and protected Young Master Jin Chuan.

Upon witnessing this scene, Young Master Jinchuan was both shocked and furious, and at the same time, a sense of lingering fear arose in his heart.

The square bronze plaque is called "Lu Gong Shield Token". It is said to have been made by the founder of the Lu Gong Temple. No more than 100 of them have survived to this day.

The Lu Gong Shield is crafted with ingenious skill, capable of taking on countless forms, and also possesses the unique ability to absorb and store martial arts techniques.

This item was obtained by chance by the Rakshasa Saint King of the Yellow Springs Department. After leaving a life-saving method inside, he gave the Lu Gong Shield Token to his most beloved son, Prince Jin Chuan, to ensure that it could save his life in critical moments.

This is why, even after the blind man locked onto him with murderous intent and witnessed him almost crush the Yellow Springs Protector and a group of Celestial Masters, Young Master Jin Chuan remained certain that the blind man could not kill him.

However, the fact that the Lu Gong Shield was activated on its own still made Jin Chuan Gongzi feel uneasy.

This indicates that, in that very instant, the blind man had delivered a fatal blow to him silently.

If it weren't for the Lu Gong Shield Token protecting him, he would probably have died long ago, just like the three Celestial Realm experts around him.

"I told you long ago, you can't kill me!"

The young master of Jinchuan, protected by the Yellow Springs River, stared intently at the blind man not far away, his shock and anger gradually replaced by endless rage and murderous intent.

Now that the other party has successfully reached the Underworld, they are in an invincible position, and it is now their turn to die!
However, to Jin Chuan Gongzi's utter surprise, when the blind man's lifeless eyes met his, a barely perceptible smile suddenly appeared on his scarred face. "Not bad, another mission successfully completed!"

The blind man's hoarse voice drifted lightly into Jin Chuan Gongzi's ears. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he turned around and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

The Yellow Springs River, transformed from the Lu Gong Shield, hangs in mid-air, protected not only by the Lu Gong Shield's own unique and sturdy material, but also by a powerful defensive measure from one of the five holy rulers of the Yellow Springs.

The two protected Young Master Jinchuan so well that even the nine guardians of the Yellow Springs Department could not shake this martial arts defensive treasure in the slightest.

However, at this moment, this treasure, which was originally enough to save Young Master Jinchuan's life, was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the vast and heavy Yellow Springs River was facing a breach.

More importantly, at this moment, Jin Chuan Gongzi was surrounded by the shadows of countless bamboo poles. The countless poles looked like a rain of arrows shooting down and piercing the void, like dark clouds pressing down on the city and trying to swallow him up.

Upon seeing this scene, the young master of Jinchuan, who had just thought himself invincible, turned deathly pale.

Without a doubt, if those bamboo pole shadows were to fall, he would be riddled with holes, and dying without a complete corpse would be the least of his worries; he would probably be reduced to a pulp.

Just then, with a cracking sound, Young Master Jin Chuan suddenly looked up at the shattered Lu Gong Shield, and his whole body trembled with fear.

"Father, save me!"

Young Master Jin Chuan let out a terrified roar.

At the same time, Rakshasa Saint King, who had sensed the activation of the Lu Gong Shield Order and was worried about his son's safety, appeared above the gate of the Yellow Springs Department in the blink of an eye.

Following behind him were a group of martial arts masters from the Yellow Springs Department who had come to his rescue.

"court death!"

The Rakshasa Saint King's angry and majestic voice rang out, and a gigantic hand brimming with murderous aura descended first, striking the countless pole shadows that were about to engulf Young Master Jin Chuan.

"You are late!"

The blind man's pale eyes were devoid of any light as he calmly addressed the Rakshasa Saint King in the sky.

The next moment, the blind man's figure, which had been suspended in mid-air, disappeared. When he reappeared, only a blur of a bamboo pole being raised and chopped down remained, flashing past Jin Chuan Gongzi's body.

The Yellow Springs River, transformed from the Lu Gong Shield, simultaneously shattered into fragments of light and shadow, its condensed true energy of heaven and earth collapsing and dissipating like a mountain.

At the same time, Jin Chuan Gongzi, whose face was frozen in terror, was swept away by the dissipated true energy, and his entire body was split in two and fell to the ground like a pile of mud.

This was clearly a way of dying that Young Master Jin Chuan had never expected; his attention was still focused on the countless pole shadows in the sky.

"I told you before, your life belongs to me."

At this moment, the blind man's hoarse voice rang out, and when his figure reappeared, he was already retreating at lightning speed.
